Description: | Photographic postcards relating to the 1st Royal Munster Fusiliers during the First World War. The majority cover the Battalion's time in Egypt prior to embarkation for Gallipoli. They include a small number showing men of the Battalion just off-shore in ships boats (cutters/whalers), carrying full kit. It is possible that these are images of training for the amphibious landing at Gallipoli. Whilst the prints themselves are in reasonably good condition, a number of the images are somewhat faded, showing that the negatives from which they were reproduced were damaged. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
