[2nd Australian Signal Squadron]

A group photograph of the 'Second Signal Squadron at Zapata [Zgharta], near Tripoli, Syria'

A vintage gelatin silver photograph (approximately 157 × 203 mm, albeit missing a large blank piece from the bottom right-hand corner), with a lengthy caption in ink on the verso, along with the identities of many of those present.

Minor creases, a few marks, and the loss to the corner notwithstanding, a very interesting image in presentable condition.

The caption mentions '2 Wireless Limbers, 2 cable waggons & 3 G.S. Limbers as water carts'; the 10 motorcycles and two early motor vehicles are taken as read. Part of the date (January) is present: the signal squadrons were present in Mesopotamia from 1916 to 1918.
