[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 679261, member: 4012"] There's no way it's pre-WW1 - troops can't have been lined up BEFORE the war started! I think the giveaway is in the actual original newspaper caption at the bottom, "[I]Avenue of honour[/I]". The Ballarat avenue by that name was first proposed in 1917 and constructed between then and 1919, so the suggestion of a WW2 connection seems more likely than WW1. Of note is the quite extreme height from which the pic was taken - locate a building or something very high, where a large, heavy camera could be placed and that might nail the location. [/QUOTE]
