In 1930, due to the Great Depression, the Australian Government closed its two officer training establishments at Jervis Bay and Canberra. Training for naval officers was transferred to Flinders Naval Depot, Victoria, and for army officers to Victoria Barracks, Sydney. The economic and social cost to the Jervis Bay community was significant, and also delayed the construction of a railway line from Canberra to Jervis Bay.
These papers were received from an unknown donor, together with the first annual report for the Royal Military College, Duntroon, 1910-1911. Newscuttings have been photocopied for preservation.
