Photograph album, Palestine, [1937-9], containing 194 photographs (most 65 x 90mm) showing Gaza, Hebron, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Nazareth, Bethlehem, Nablus, Jaffa, Acre and elsewhere, with typed descriptions pasted in, 25 leaves, oblong large 4to (210 x 265mm). Original blue cloth (soiled). Provenance: ?compiled by a soldier in the King's Own Royal Regiment (Lancaster).
PHOTOGRAPHIC RECORD OF THE ARAB REBELLION. The images include 'Jenin after a punitive action, following the death of ADC Moffat' (4), 'Every Day's Troubles' (4 photographs of Arab prisoners being escorted, riot squads at Jaffa, and two of railway accidents), 'Actions against villages' (4, showing demolitions), 'Tulkarem - a centre of the troubles' (8), and 'Near the Northern Frontier' (4, showing a concentration camp and the Transjordan Frontier Force). The images are not unique: there exists another album that belonged to Private J.M. Godsmark, now in the King's Own Royal Regiment Museum, Lancaster, that seems to have an almost identical collection of photographs: https://www.kingsownmuseum.plus.com/ko1423-001.htm This suggests that this album might have been issued as a semi-official regimental record.
