2 pages of a photograph album with small photographs pasted on both sides of the page, some labelled. Includes roll of negatives. Page 1: 1-36A "Burnley - Feb-Apr 1942", 37-55A "June '42", 56-62A "Sept '42." Page 2: "Sept '42 (cont)." These photographs are identical with many of those in B09.0005, but smaller. Therefore probably this is also J.L. Provan's album. See B09.0005 also for slides of these photos.
