Summary

One of seven black and white photographs contained in a yellow envelope with two postcards and a hand-painted card featuring a poem and a desert/pyramid scene. The envelope was contained in a diary probably written by sister Alice Elizabeth Cocking, later Sister Williams.

The memoir records life of a nurse on transport ships, in hospitals and on leave. It is written in a school exercise book some time after the event - possibly even after World War II.
