PALESTINE – THE ARAB REBELLION – Photograph Album. Malta, Alexandria, Palestine and Cyprus: 1935-1936.
An extensive album of images compiled by a Royal Navy submariner who took part in land military operations during the Arab Rebellion. The unnamed photographer served on H.M.S. Thames, and he appears to have been involved with the manning of rail armoured cars in Palestine. There are a series of photographs showing the result of bombs in Tel Aviv, searching Arab suspects, Jewish and British funerals, and Arab prisoners. There are also a number of images taken of H.M.S. Thames from her conning tower while diving, and also at distance of her on the surface sailing at high speed. The album also extensively covers Malta, Alexandria and the western Egyptian desert.
213 photographs (mainly of 3 sizes, 164 x 213mm, 87 x 138mm and 60 x 85mm) mounted on 46 leaves, most captioned, oblong octavo (223 x 230mm). Original card wrappers (extremities rubbed and corners creased).
