This album amicorum was kept by nurse Whitehead, known to one soldier as "Nurse Whitey," in 1918 at the Moor Park Auxiliary
War Hospital (Moor Park Military Hospital). The album contains autographs by convalescing soldiers, 5 portrait drawings (of
nurse Whitehead?), 5 cartoons or caricatures, 1 other drawing, and 4 verses. Laid in are four unused sentimental photographic
postcards (in English or German) and one needlepoint-decorated "Souvenir de Cologne" greeting card from a son to his mother.
