| Emden sailors leaving the 'Orvieto' at Port Said to go aboard the 'Hampshire', 2 Dec 1914. National Archives of Australia. |
Martin Elliget came across this interesting WW1 photo album on the NAA website. It belonged to Lieut. Richard Gavin CASEY (later Governor-General of Australia), starting with his voyage from Australia to Egypt on the Transport Orvieto. Later photos are of Egypt, Gallipoli, England and France.
Martin has transcribed the first ten pages of annotations, which you can see here.
You can find the album and scroll the album here. Click to enlarge to get a really good scan of the album pages. These are very clear and interesting photos, one minute in Egypt strolling round the Pyramids, and the next minute Anzac Cove.
Well worth a browse, and thanks to Martin for locating it.
