Large impressive album produced by a member of the Field Survey Company 524 of the Jewish Brigade. Egypt, Japan (?), and Italy [1944-1945]. English.
Much thought and effort was put in to this album and its design, and so it enables a look “behind the scenes” of the company, its existence and daily life.

The photographs also are not standard and among others they show the company truck (with Magen David), the decorations for the Purim party, a visit to the Synagogue in Cairo (also shown is the Cairo Chief Rabbi holding Torah Scroll), the Jewish cemetery in Cairo, a visit to the pyramids, photographs of the Erev Rosh HaShanah (1943) Dinner, etc. In total the album contains about 170 photographs (various sizes) and tens of accompanying items. Album 33X44 cm. Good condition. A few stains in the margins, slight wear on the binding.
