Last peek to an old photo album that was founded 20 years ago at a collectors’ market in England. The pictures were taken by a British intelligence officer on his way to Israel and during his service here in a camel-riding unit of the British army. The first series of the collection is presented here, including the captions which adorned the original photos.
