Gordon C. Eby wartime photograph album

  • CA MAO Hist.Mss.1.66.4.1
  • File
  • 1866-1949

Photographs in the album are predominantly from Gordon Eby's time in the military, 1914-1919. Some photographs of family before and after the war are also included. Captions were probably composed and added by Anne Eby Millar, Gordon's daughter. The photographs and captions together narrate chronologically Gordon Eby's family of origin, his experience in the First World War with the 118th and 21st battalions as a signaler, the months spent in Germany at the end of the war as a translator, his marriage in 1921, and his growing family.

Eby, Gordon Christian, 1890-1965
