This album has been donated to the WW1 Project by a Lutonian of many years standing, and shows members of her family, including her mother, father (Ernest Charles Mills, seen above) and uncles; who lived through the Great War years.
There are WW1 postcards, and some amusing photographs of soldiers in costume within the album, clearly having fun despite the horrors of war.
The small sketch inside this album, showing men cooking, is by Ernest Mills and is contemporary with his time in the trenches. The album also contains photographs from WW2.
Complete Postcard album of Driver William Edward Owen. A fantastic resource containing roughly 90 postcards, offering a wonderful insight into the life of a soldier during WWI.
These postcards have not yet been transcribed so, visitors to the site are welcome to register, and use the comments section below this entry to add their transcriptions of the written content on these postcards.
The postcards vary in style from embroidery to printed media, and simple message cards.
