Bonegilla operated as an army base from September 1940 and by 1943 was expanded to 848 buildings, including a general hospital. It provided training for small arms instructors, signallers, transport workers, bomb disposal and gas warfare personnel. In a response to the need to house the growing number of displaced persons coming to Australia, the Bonegilla Reception and Training Centre began operating in 1947. For some time it was a shared facility but the Army withdrew temporarily from Bonegilla in 1949, whilst still retaining ownership of the site. From 1949-65 Bonegilla Reception and Training Centre operated without a military presence. However, in the late 1960s and Australia’s commitments to the Vietnam War and pressed by the need to find accommodation to train men, especially National Servicemen, the Army negotiated with the Department of Immigration to take over several blocks at Bonegilla in 1965. Thirty-five huts were acquired by the Royal Australian Army Ordnance Corps as a Recruit Training Centre in which National Servicemen and recruits could attend 10-week ordnance courses. Shortly afterwards additional huts were acquired by the School of Military Survey, which established field-survey practical training areas and special astronomical observation sites as it began conducting courses in surveying. Instructors and trainees co-located at Bonegilla with migrant reception centre. In 1971 the Reception Centre closed and the site reverted to the Army. Progressively after 1971 the Army undertook a major site redevelopment with the construction of Latchford Barracks as the Army Apprentice School. Later Latchford Barracks was redeveloped into part of the Army Logistic Training Centre. Block 19 of the Mirant Reception Centre later became the Bonegilla Migrant Experience Heritage Park.This item depicts a heritage listed historical site located in the Wodonga district.A large poster size representation of the variety of buildings at Bonegilla, Victoria when it served as the location for the Royal Australian School of Military Survey.

This gas mask dates to 1942 in the Second World War. This mask is representative of a style of gas mask that was widely distributed during the Second World War, and can be found in other Australian collections. Rubberised face mask with two circular plastic windows with metal rim for sight by wearer. The mask is fitted by six black elastic straps with red and yellow stripes, which are attached via metal buckles at six points at the top, middle and bottom of the face.

At chin, a metal fitting fits into a black rubber concertina tube which fits into the top of a rounded rectangular container with ribbed edges. Both attachment points have what appears to be adhesive fabric tape wrapped around the closure, possibly to make the system air tight.On cross-shaped component, "No 410/22-12-42" Stamped on mask, "O.T.R.C/6/42", "NORMAL" Filter mask stamped with, "EBRO/1942", "No 4/G.P. 1942" Canister stamped with "WILLOW/[broad arrow]/ML42(?)3/GS174".

Gas masks like this one were primarily used during World War I and World War II as part of civil defense and military protection against chemical warfare agents such as mustard gas. The rubberized body and glass lenses were designed to seal tightly around the face while providing visibility. The filter port and hose were used to attach a filter canister that would remove toxic particles from the air before it reached the wearer. These masks were critical during times of airborne chemical attacks and were issued to soldiers, civilians, and emergency personnel. Gas masks from this era are historically significant, representing the widespread fear of chemical warfare and the lengths taken to protect individuals from such threats.The item is an early to mid-20th-century gas mask, likely used during wartime or industrial settings for respiratory protection. It consists of: A black rubberized facepiece, designed to cover the entire face for an airtight seal. Two circular glass eyepieces, which are slightly fogged or deteriorated, allowing visibility while protecting the wearer’s eyes from contaminants. A large, perforated metal filter attachment on the front, which would have contained activated charcoal or other filtering materials to remove harmful substances from the air. A side port or connection valve, possibly for attaching an external filter canister or breathing hose. Adjustable fabric straps, which are frayed and discolored, indicating long-term use or exposure to the elements. The mask shows visible wear, dirt, and signs of aging, suggesting it has been stored for an extended period.gas, mask, war, clothing
