TWO PHOTO ALBUMS OF A BRITISH FAMILY IN KHYBER PAKHTUNKHWA PROVINCE PAKISTAN, Including Travel, Camping & Automobile Journeys

[Pakistan, 1940. Two albums with approximately 125 black and white snapshot photographs, most 2.5 x 4 in., belonging to the Daggitt family, with a few ms. notes on three portrait cabinet cards laid into one of the albums, identifying additional family members. The matching albums are approx. 10" x 10"; the photos are laid in with clear plastic overlays. The photographs are sharp, clear and generally well-composed.
Most of the snapshot images are of George Edward Daggitt, his wife and children showing their travels and life as residents in Peshawar in the 1930s and 1940s. The cabinet cards include: George Edward Daggitt (1901-?), in British military uniform in 1947; paternal grandmother Emily Emma McHugh, dressed in her nursing sister uniform, "taken in Peshawar, North West Frontier Provence, on the borders of Afghanistan;" and "Auntie" Amy Daggitt [George's sister, presumably], who "...died when she was a nursing sister in a Bombay hospital...buried in the British Cemetery in Bombay." Peshawar became part of the newly created state of Pakistan in 1947, after partition.
The photos include images of family travel and camping in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, Daggitt, his wife and their three young children; views of the family at home in Peshawar; and a handful of photos back in England, after Daggitt had retired to Colchester, Essex, showing their home and their children as adults. Most of the images are identified on small slips of paper with typed titles laid in with the photos. Travel images include, sometimes with several from each area: Indus Ferry, Dehra Ismail Khan; Inspector's house, Risalpur (exterior & interior); Katwali police station, West, Peshawar; camping images from Shikiari, below Batrasi Pass; Dadr; Garhi Habibulla; Balakot; Naran Lake, Kaghan; Shalimar, Srinigar; Nashat Bagh; home at 7 Roosekeppel Lane Peshawar, including gardens, interior & exterior views (noted as the former family home); Dunga Gali; Camp Nagoman; St. Joseph's College, Baramulla; holiday camp Nasim Bagh, Nathia Guli, Dal lake.
