Summary
[Saved] Album bound in green leather with marbled endpapers. Contains autographs, poems, drawings, and photographs. This album was owned by Amy Bates, who was a Voluntary Aid Detachment (VAD) nurse at Clandon Park when it was a Red Cross military hospital during the First World War. Nurse Bates, along with other nurses, including May DuBuisson (see object 1441424), collected their soldier patients autographs and photographs. As in this case, these are sometimes accompanied by sketches, carictures, jokes and poetry.
