Photo album. (23), (4 blank) ff. With 76 gelatin silver photographs (various sizes). Ca. 32.5 × 26 cm. Contemporary embossed brown cloth, with the title embossed in silver on the front board, the name of the owner painted in silver, and the green shoulder sleeve insignia of the Persian Gulf Command embedded in the front board. R…emarkable military photo album with 76 photographs of the activities of the Persian Gulf Command (PGC) at various locations in Iran. The PGC was a branch of the United States Army established in 1941 to assure the supply of U.S. Lend-Lease war material to the Soviet Union through the Persian Corridor. After the war, members of the PCG received an empty album to fill with personal memories of their time in Iran. These albums are now relatively rare. The present one was compiled by Colonel S. Morgan Thomas (dates unknown), a PGC member who carried out inspections of the railroads. It includes various photographs of him at work. - This album also contains photographs of PCG commander Donald Prentice Booth (1902-93), a visit by Soviet soldiers and a young child, military activity in Teheran, locals, and soldiers sending telegrams. Loosely inserted in the album are maps of Iran, the lands surrounding Hamadan, and the Trans Iranian Railroad, which would have been important to carry for someone who inspected the railroads. The work offers a rare insight into life of a PGC member stationed in Iran. - The corners of the boards are somewhat scuffed. One of the inserted maps is somewhat foxed and another has a tear that has been repaired with tape in the lower margin, not affecting the image, some leaves are missing one of the corner mounts the photographs are mounted on, possibly missing a photograph on the verso of leaf [4]. Otherwise in very good condition.
