1919 AUTOGRAPH BOOK of WOMAN in BRITISH ARMY WOMEN'S CORP Q.M.A.A.C. Curragh Ireland

Filled with remembrances, signatures, and drawings, by men and women in post WWI. Most of the remembrances are from 1919, with some later ones being from 1920-1926. Many are from women soldiers in the Q.M.A.A.C, and other British Women's army corps;; and many are from male soldiers in the R.A.S.C. and similar army corps. It was a time of love and death, love lost and love being sought. Many of the signatures come from Curragh (a notorious training camp in Ireland).

There are some lovely and sad drawings and texts, dealing with parting and death. Including a lovely poem by Emily Dickinson with an associated drawing. One "poem" by a woman soldier is very racially offensive, but is the only one that I found..

I'm not sure who this belonged to, possibly Maria Macaulay, but clearly a woman in the Q.M.A.A.C.

Leather covers, 6.5x7 inches (17x18 cm), 60 leaves all with writing and/or drawings, some on both sides of the leaf, some on one side only.

VERY GOOD condition, tight, bright, clean and clear.

A look at post WWI, not from the perspective of battle weary men, but from that of an army woman who, from the tone of the comments in the autograph book, seemed to send soldiers off and bring them home with a friendly female touch.
