About this Item

This album consists of around 19 loose pages, missing both covers, which contain around 46 black-and-white photos that appear to be from the Bulgarian Armed Forces, that date to the late 1930s or early 1940s. The photos show soldiers enjoying the natural scenery, including some gorgeous mountain views, at a dinner, and swimming. There is a photo of a large group of people in front of a sign which translates to "Staff 10th Border Company." Photographs measure between 1.75 x 2.25" and 4.75 x 3.5" and are glued to the pages, with the edges of some photos cut off.
