177650154 black and white snapshots held in place with photograph corners in a patterned fabric covered photograph album. Sizes of the photographs vary from 5 x7.5cm to 8.5 x 12.5cm. Black and white folding map of Burma 34.7 x 24cm loosely inserted two insets on the map show an elephant carrying teak a mahout on his back and a small map showing Burma's location within the region. Although the photographs are not individually captioned the album is divided into sections titled in white ink. Some blank leaves towards the rear of the album a separate section of 10 photographs titled "Burma & China" fills the last leaves. Six photographs are evenly browned all others are in excellent condition. A very interesting photograph album in excellent condition. A fascinating photographic record of events on the crucial Burma Road in southwestern China during and immediately after the Pacific War. An inscription on the final leaf gives the name John Barry Williams and the date 6/23/42 to 1/15/46. <br> <br>The Burma Road was constructed in 1936-1937 mainly to enable the allies to send material to China which was then at war with Japan. After the occupation of Burma by Japan in 1942 the flow of goods was cut until 1945 when in the last months of the war allied troops reconnected the transport corridor from Burma to China. Meanwhile war materiel continued to be transported by plane between Yunnan in China and India over the section of eastern Himalayas known as 'The Hump'. <br> <br>The owner of this album appears to have been a US serviceman stationed at Tsuyung Airfield in the Chinese province of Yunnan - the main transport hub at the Chinese end of the Hump route. The first photos in the album show scenes of the Burma Road and the Salween River on the border of Yunnan and Burma. There are a number of fine black-and-white photos of everyday life in the area including a village street a local salt mine a farmer ploughing with water buffaloes a street scene in Tsyuyung town women and children repairing the road and a train of pack ponies taking goods to market along the Burma Road in China. There are also images of a serviceman named Washburn holding up a captured Japanese flag. <br> <br>The following series of photos is labelled '780 Engineer Petroleum Distribution Co. Pipeline India-Burma-China 1944 and 1945' and shows scenes of the contruction of this vital fuel link with photos shot in India in the jungles of Burma and in southwestern China. The photos give a vivid image of the magnitude of the construction task showing teams camping out in rugged terrain and crossing rivers on makeshift bridges. A final group of photos labelled 'Burma and China' includes shots of a parachute drop from a plane and an image of allied soldiers with local villagers. A small map of Burma and Tibet published in 1948 has been loosely inserted in the front of the volume. . unknown

Partial description by our colleague Dr.Christian White from Christian White Rare Books in Ilkley UK. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The West Highland Line Scottish Gaelic: Rathad Iarainn nan Eilean "Iron Road to the Isles" is a railway line linking the ports of Mallaig and Oban in the Scottish Highlands to Glasgow in Central Scotland. The line was voted the top rail journey in the world by readers of independent travel magazine Wanderlust in 2009 ahead of the notable Trans-Siberian line in Russia and the Cuzco to Machu Picchu line in Peru. The ScotRail website has since reported that the line has been voted the most scenic railway line in the world for the second year running. The West Highland Line is one of two railway lines that access the remote and mountainous west coast of Scotland the other being the Kyle of Lochalsh Line which connects Inverness with Kyle of Lochalsh. The line is the westernmost railway line in Great Britain. At least in part the West Highland Line is the same railway line as that referred to as the West Highland Railway. History: The route was built in several sections: Glasgow Queen Street to Cowlairs Junction - Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Cowlairs Junction to Bowling - Glasgow Dumbarton and Helensburgh Railway later absorbed into the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Bowling to Dumbarton Central - Lanarkshire and Dumbartonshire Railway operated by the Caledonian Railway Dumbarton Central to Dalreoch - Caledonian and Dumbartonshire Junction Railway Dalreoch to Craigendoran - Glasgow Dumbarton and Helensburgh Railway Craigendoran to Fort William opened 11 August 1894 - West Highland Railway sponsored by the North British Railway Crianlarich to Oban - Callander and Oban Railway operated by the Caledonian Railway. There is an additional section from Fort William or a junction near Fort William to Mallaig built as the Mallaig Extension Railway. The West Highland Railway approved the construction of the line at their annual meeting in January 1895. The line faced potential closure as part of the Beeching cuts in 1963 and again in 1995 due to reduced revenues. Route description: Shortly after leaving Glasgow Queen Street station and beyond Queen Street Tunnel the line diverges from the main trunk route to Edinburgh Waverley and Perth at Cowlairs and follows a northwesterly course through the suburbs of Maryhill and Kelvindale. Between Westerton and Dumbarton the route is shared with the North Clyde Line to Helensburgh Central before branching northward at Craigendoran Junction towards Garelochhead the section where the West Highland Line itself is generally accepted to begin. It gives high-level views of the Gare Loch and Loch Long before emerging alongside the northwesterly shores of Loch Lomond then climbs Glen Falloch to Crianlarich. The branch to Oban diverges at Crianlarich an important Highland junction of both road and rail and runs through Glen Lochy to Dalmally and through the Pass of Brander to reach salt water at Taynuilt and Connel Ferry before a final climb over a hill to Oban. About three miles five kilometres from Crianlarich the Mallaig and Oban routes both pass through the village of Tyndrum but they are served by separate stations making it an unusually small settlement to be served by more than one railway station. After Bridge of Orchy the line to Mallaig climbs onto Rannoch Moor past the former crossing point at Gorton Crossing to Rannoch station. In winter the moor is often covered with snow and deer may be seen running from the approaching train. The station at Corrour on the moor is one of the most remote stations in Britain and is not accessible by any public road. This is the summit of the line at 1347 ft 410 m above sea level. Carrying on northwards the line descends above the shores of Loch Treig and through the narrow Monessie Gorge. The final stop before Fort William is Spean Bridge. The section between Fort William and Mallaig passes over the Glenfinnan Viaduct through Arisaig with its views of the Small Isles of Rùm Eigg Muck and Canna and the white sands of Morar before coming to Mallaig itself. With the exception of the route between Glasgow Queen Street and Helensburgh Upper and the short section between Fort William Junction and Fort William station the railway is signalled using the Radio Electronic Token Block controlled from the signal box at Banavie station. Notable railway-related features Glenfinnan Viaduct The Horse Shoe Curve between Upper Tyndrum and Bridge of Orchy The Cruach Rock snowshed between Rannoch and Corrour Glenfinnan Viaduct between Locheilside and Glenfinnan The Pass of Brander stone signals between Dalmally and Taynuilt Arisaig is the most westerly railway station in Great Britain West Highland Line in film: Train crossing bridge at Banavie The summit of the line just north of Corrour Glenfinnan Viaduct on the line between Fort William and Mallaig is a filming location for the Hogwarts Express in the Harry Potter series of films. Eddie McConnell's poetic documentary A Line for All Seasons 1970 showcases the line and its history set against the scenery of the western highlands as it changes through the seasons. Corrour features in Trainspotting 1996 directed by Danny Boyle. Source: Wikipedia hardcover
