Locker-Lampson's Armoured Car Division, superb photo album of Locker-Lampson's Armoured Car Squadron in World War I including photos of Australian and New Zealand officers. The album contains 49 photos of approximately postcard size depicting armoured cars, officers with various armoured cars, officers in the Armoured Car Mess, squadron officers and men instructing Russians at the front, Kerensky in the field, the Russian Women's Battalion and the Russians in retreat. It covers actions in Europe of 'the Czar's British Squadron' in 1917. The album is unique and highly significant as each photo has handwritten names or descriptions on the back. Twenty-five men are clearly identified, 20 officers of the squadron including Australian and New Zealanders as well as Kerensky, 2 Russian officers and 2 war correspondents. There is no indication of the photographer but the photos have been in the possession of Captain Gaden of Locker-Lampson's Squadron as he has identified himself in one photo. Very fine - extremely fine and of great historical importance especially with each photo identified.
