D Day invasion photo album!

02-22-2010, 11:07 PM

Good afternoon, I am seeking opinions please on this photoalbum I am purchasing. I am sorry only two pages of images are available but I like my d day memorabilia. Please offer opinions as to whether everything looks good for period taken photographs of the landings.

Here is the description summary:

British album 17 photo's but all very good D-Day period.

The photo's & album are from a british REME officer, show him just before D-Day, actual D-Day landings, rest are of his recovery. Working on tanks. Good shots of tank transporters and Sherman in normandy.

Also is a REME annual dinner card for january 1944 which has the signature of Gen Taylor.

Thanks

Hello Robs ... I have several British REME , RTR & RAC photo albums from the period ( unfortunately not D-Day landings ) ...to my eye your photos look fine / authentic.
A rare album and something to treasure .
