Imbros

Imbros

Following the end of the First World War, the Australian government built thousands of new homes for returning soldiers and their families. In Hampton, 67 acres of farmland was carved off the Castlefield Estate to create a neighbourhood of close to 300 Californian Bungalow houses – one of the largest war service home developments in Victoria.

 

In streets named after battlefields on the Eastern and Western Fronts, veterans and war widows set down new roots, raised families and helped to build our Hampton community.

 

Imbros Street: In 1915, the Mediterranean island of Imbros was transformed by the arrival of hundreds of Allied ships and tens of thousands of soldiers. Located 24 kilometres west of Anzac Cove, Imbros became a key supply base and staging post for the Gallipoli campaign.

 

Australian soldiers on shore leave visited Imbros’ beaches and villages, joining in celebrations and enjoying the hospitality of the Greek locals – a welcome respite from the trenches.
