A real holiday

A real holiday

The first part of the album is devoted to what is described as "A real holiday". The photos show them cruising the Mediterranean on board the SS Moldavia, calling at Lisbon, Madeira and various places in Morocco.

Rucksack tour

Rucksack tour

In 1936 we find our friends on a walking holiday in Germany, in the Alps and Black Forest. They stay in youth hostels and visit Freiburg. Some of the photos clearly show swastikas displayed on German buildings and in the streets - a sign of the times

Here and there

Here and there

A few pages show us a variety of trips from 1938, including Whitley Bay in north east England and what appears to be a short cruise to Malta

Youth House International Devon Camp

Youth House International Devon Camp

The final pages of the album document an "International Camp" in Devon with participants from France, Belgium and Germany, among others. I have not been able to trace any record of such a camp and would welcome information.
