  Bacchus Marsh Drill Hall - Veterans Description for Public
  
  The Former Bacchus Marsh Drill Hall was located on Turner Street. Made from corrugated iron, it was first erected at Maldon and subsequently moved to Bacchus Marsh circa the First World War. The expansion of the armed forces from 1911 and then the outbreak of the First World War resulted in a large number of drill halls being constructed by the Commonwealth up to 1918. During this period, drill halls were constructed to only two basic designs and varied only in size. Except for the naval drill halls (Port Melbourne, in brick, and Western Port HMAS Cerberus, in timber) all of the drill halls were constructed in corrugated iron. The site is now used as a scout hall.
