Album of family photographs, New Zealand and overseas
Date: ca1913-ca1914
From: Bennett, Margaret (Mrs) :Family photographs and albums relating to Gavin G Wallace
Reference: PA1-o-768
Description: This album is a compilation recording a trip to Britain and Canada made by James Wilson Wallace and his wife prior to the First World War. James Wallace adopted his brother's son Gavin who by this time was living with him and his wife in Wellington. Gavin does not feature in this album, but it is highly likley that members of his Yorkshire family do. There is a record of a visit to Fountains Abbey, the seaside and unidentified towns. Military manoeuvers involving soldiers on horseback were observed, and there are two photographs of the experimental military aircraft, the B.E.2a, designed by De Haviland for the British Government in late 1912. There are photographs of Malta and (presumably) British battleships in the harbour. As well as Canada the Wallaces also seem to have visited Japan It is likely that the photographs in the album do not strictly follow the sequence of their trip Quantity: 1 album(s) Album(s).
