An interesting photo album, from a German Soldier, which shows his friends mainly. And their service, which is interesting to see so many arms in one album. A section for Flak, a section for Police. The album seems to feature many locations, Grodno, Holland, Russia, Norway and Poland. Interestingly, the whole album has annotations. Nice album, some items have come loose inside but could be fixed easily, moreover the spine has somewhat come loose. Two small water colour paintings are the highlight inside one is of Yalta Ukraine.

GRAPHIC WWI US 5th Photo Section Air Service American Expeditionary Forces A.E.F Original Photo Album France 1918 Red Barron Fokker
An Incredible pictorial history of the 5th Photo Section Air Service the album owner seems to be “Pops” Reynolds. They flew Recon Missions in France in 1918 under the Aero XIII C.A (see photo of Recon on 16 May 1918) Many of the photos are noted on the rear and have an array of different content, I was unable to find much information even on this unit. Many photos show the daily life of the Section and include two interesting photos of personalities – Captain Adams, and Lt Esley. Both seem to be leading the Photo Section. Interestingly there are photos of many different aircraft including, Handley Page During the First World War, Handley Page produced a series of heavy bombers for the Royal Navy to bomb the German Zeppelin yards, with the ultimate intent of bombing Berlin in revenge for the Zeppelin attacks on London. Handley Page had been asked by the Admiralty to produce a “bloody paralyser of an aeroplane”.[citation needed] These aircraft included the O/100 of 1915, the O/400 of 1918 and the four-engined V/1500 with the range to reach Berlin. The V/1500 had only just entered operational service as the war ended in 1918. General Liggett Lieutenant General Hunter Liggett (March 21, 1857 − December 30, 1935) was a senior United States Army officer. His 42 years of military service spanned the period from the Indian campaigns to the trench warfare of World War I. Additionally, he also identified possible invasion sites in Luzon, particularly Lingayen Gulf, which were used during World War II in 1941 by the Japanese and in 1945 by the United States.

WWI / WWII British Army Officers Medal Grouping – Major J.B.L Thompson – Royal Engineers – Buckingham Palace Invite 1952 – Family Seal
This is an interesting little tin of memories, it include fine made silver items. As well as a wonderful pictorial history of the Father and Son during both WWI / WWII. This is an interesting find with the Medals and matching Mini set. Seems the son was in Europe at their Uncles grave in France November 1944. Sadly there is not much in terms of research but its clear both Father and Son served. Nice set as its unusual.
