Description: | Numerous postcards and letters written during 1914 - 1919 (1918 missing) by a Hungarian national, Benjamin Cseh, to his British wife while he was interned as an 'enemy alien' in various internment camps, initially at Newbury, Berkshire, then for most of the war at Alexandra Palace, north London, with a brief period spent working at a horticultural nursery in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, concluding with a handful of letters from 1919 written at Knockaloe camp on the Isle of Man, largely personal in content with some insights into his life as an internee and his concern for his family's welfare; also a scrapbook and associated material compiled by his daughter, Miss Iren Ilona Cseh, while serving as an administrative clerk with the USAAF in Britain and on the European continent during the Second World War (Eighth Air Force Service Command) and the immediate postwar period, containing photographs and various ephemera related to her service.
