SECOND WORLD WAR – PALESTINE. Private T. CARPENTER, 1st Battalion, Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. Photograph Album. Palestine: 1939-1940.
Striking images of the last days of the Arab Rebellion. Upon the outbreak of the Second World War, the 1st Battalion Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders was deployed to Palestine, where it encountered the remaining elements of the Arab Rebellion before its final suppression by the British in late 1939. The compiler of this album was evidently highly involved in these last actions, with photographs taken at Nablus, Tulkarem and Jenin. This album contains images showing the aftermath of rebel strikes on the railways and military vehicles, Arab prisoners, an interrogation scene, as well as a number of showing the demolition of property in Arab villages as collective punishment.
187 photographs (the majority 67 x 92mm, a few larger and smaller) mounted on 35 leaves, most captioned, oblong octavo (150 x 195mm). Original leather-backed boards (spine torn and defective, extremities rubbed).
