[ translate ]

Three First World War photograph albums: Egypt and Palestine: small album with 32 original photographs and a few British domestic one. A small album, perhaps assembled by a nurse or Voluntary Aid Detachment woman at an unidentified hospital near Eastbourne, with 33 original photographs including nurses (two are named); named officers with their regiments (Captain Cole, London Scottish; Captain Newport, Leinsters; Lieutenant Jones, Royal Welch Fusiliers). There are also 12 domestic photos at the end. An unusual post-Armistice album, April-July 1919, showing part of the British Fourth Army Headquarters at Namur, Belgium. With 91 photographs, almost all captioned, including the Duke of Connaught inspecting Belgian troops (5 May 1919); General B. Williams; Belgian generals; motor cars; the London Scottish Regiment; the Birthday Honours decoration of British soldiers; the Officers' Rest House with named lady volunteers; Church Army Huts with volunteers, staff and Reverend L. J. Tatham; 'Belgian civilian procession. Protest against Hun atrocities'; the return to Namur of the 'Glorious 13th' Belgian division; Belgian religious processions. There are also two real photographic postcards showing interior details of the 'Station encampment' and 'Station canteen'; and two loose, finely detailed real photographic postcards showing soldiers, food supplies, a library, writing room etc. in what is probably a Church Army Hut. A few photographs at the end show Cologne in July 1919
