The Wellcome is a bit naughty in digitising these files and putting on the web. The originals were returned to the museum just as I left and they were put on the web without my knowledge.

 

I retrieved all the First World War files and there are some amazing documents and diaries amongst them.

Cracking stuff Maureen,

 

The photos of 6 CCS at play are fantastic. Pretend horse races, jousting, slippery poles all with an audience who are loving it. Shows a different side.

 

The one I like the best is the blindfold 'feeding each other' competition, looks like carnage.

 

Not sure what dates the photos are or locations but some showing a siding and some very clear shots of staff and Nurses.

I'm researching the work of 6CCS (my grandfather, Col. HH Norman was its CO from April 1915 to Oct 1917), and I have previously viewed this very interesting and important album of photos online, but now I don't seem to be able to access through Wellcome anymore. Do you know why this might be, or if there is another digital copy available? Thanks.
