Depot Supply Section, 81st Air Depot Group, Brisbane, QLD, during WW2

The Depot Supply Section of the 81st Air Depot Group had 23 large warehouses located around Brisbane during WW2. They were formed from the 4th Air Depot Group. Captain Attwood was the Commanding Officer of the Depot Supply Section.

Depot Supply Office in the John McGrath building on the corner
of Wickham Street and Constance Street. This building was later used
by the Headquarters group of 3 Stores Depot RAAF in January 1945.

Now a Mercedes-Benz dealership on the corner of Wickham Street and Constance Street

A different view of the Depot Supply Office with the Old Mill Building in the background
at 111 Constance Street. It was called the Old Mill Building Barracks which was used by
the 5th Air Force Service Command during WW2.

Headquarters group of 3 Stores Depot RAAF moved into the John McGrath
building in Wickham Street, Fortitude Valley in January 1945.
Is that Exton's Building in the background?

Adamas Jorgensen told me that the above building was on the corner of Bridge and
Ann Streets. Perhaps it was opposite Warehouse No. 7 on the other corner.

There is now a Mercedes dealership on the corner of Bridge Street and Ann Street
