AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'A significant local landmark, Footscray’s Drill Hall was built in 1914 as a site for compulsory military training for boys and men and has been home to Women’s Circus since 2006. THE DRILL drew on the site’s original purpose – service for WW1. This important work uncovered buried stories to explore the effects of war on communities and posed the question: what happens to human behaviour in the face of adversity?'
