Cord-bound, production photo album, 39 by 29 cm, 42 pages [21 leaves] of which 40 are used. Wear at the corners of the album from some splitting to the front and rear hinges – otherwise stable.

The following two leaves have chips and tears on the fore-edges, but the remaining leaves are all very good with some small chips here and there. The album chronicles two brothers and their time serving in World War II. It appears they served Sparanise, Italy, and moved north to Angio, and into Lyon, France. ... View more info
