X550/6/73

Photograph album (cover damage) containing portraits and groups of officers, inscribed 'Presented to the Officers of the 3rd V.B. The Bedfordshire Regiment by Colonel J.T.Green. 1899'. Contains mostly photographs of the 1890s, but a few earlier, and later additions to c.1960. The captions are in a much later hand and their complete accuracy is thus questionable. The descriptions are compiled from the existing captions and various Record Office sources such as directories and the nominal rolls (ref: LCV 5/1-5 & LCG 68)
