Description: Photograph album containing photographs mostly taken by newspaper or British official photographers, mainly of Edgar Kain in England on leave in April 1940, and some also taken after his death.

Other photographs include Kain with New Zealand High Commissioner W J Jordan and with Mrs Jordan at a reception, one of his mother with Jordan, showing Kain's Distinguished Flying Cross that she received from King George VI, and one of his sister Judith and fiancee Joyce Phillips. The latter two photographs date from after Kain's death. The photographs of Kain with Jordan and his mother with Jordan have typed captions that are possibly press releases to accompany the photographs. There is also a photograph of the Kain family taken possibly in 1924 or 1925, when Edgar was about five years old. Several of the photographs are stamped on the back "Daily Express" or "This photograph may not be reproduced without official permit".
