101 Convalescent Depot, Corparoo, Brisbane, Queensland during WW2

I believe that the 101 Convalescent Depot, was located at Loreto College at Cavendish Road, Coorparoo in Brisbane. In About May 1943 there were about 300 inmates at the hospital and there were about 1,100 to 1,200 soldiers passing through Convalescent Depot each month. The former Loreto Convent building used as the Headquarters building of the 101st Australian Convalescent Depot.

The men at the Convalescent Depot were camped further out, away from the nurses. The 10th Camp Hospital was also attached to this Convalescent Depot, and was located about four hundred yards away in the Xavier Special School.
