Page from Paris Leave Club Visitors' BookA visitors’ book was kept by Edward Alban Williams, Lieutenant Commandant of the British Army and Navy Leave Club in Paris. Most of the contributions from visitors were just signatures, some of which were accompanied by a short message. However, there are also a few longer contributions or drawings included. The book is now privately owned. The image is of a page to which this person contributed.Contributed by:
