An interesting find in the museum collection...What appears to be a collection of 21 locket sized photographs of women in seductive poses (nothing too seductive). The label on the acid free paper packet they were found in simply reads 'WW1 models.'
One imagines a lonely soldier buying a photograph from this collection in order to have somebody to pine over whilst abroad.
A family member found this book online from their home in Sydney Australia and contributed lots of new material.
D. Rickard, aged 8, who drew the handsome WW2 era bomber in the front of this autograph book (the book lasted from WW1 - WW2). Identified himself as Doug Rickard from Austraila via the Great War Forum and provided superb background.
