Pictures from the wartime album of Des Marsh Collis

Compiled by Aidan Simons (Son-in-law of Des Marsh Collis)

These pictures are generally lower-resolution, cropped versions. Most are hyperlinked to full versions thereof, including the original captions. My apologies if I've misread the captions, they are a bit unclear at times!
