Interesting photo album for the Inniskillings from postwar 1947 and their role in the British Army of the Rhine. Nice painted Regimental crest to inside album cover. Highly detailed images of British Comet and Comwell tanks and their crews. Also several photos of the tank crews with the famous German Jagdpanther. Images of historical locations Bergen Belsen, Camp Vogelsang and the Mohne Dam still showing damage from the Dambusters raid. Many of the photographs have hand written notes on the back of them by the owner including one praising the Dambusters squadron leader Guy Gibson. Many photos of the soldiers in the NAAFI and during leisure time.
195 photographs in album. Many have become lose but could be placed back into position. The album has a green leather cover and backing cloth held in place with a black metal spine.
