Contributing Creator
Tipped in note at front of album states that the photographs were taken by Mr R. L. Black. In this instance, R. L. Black probably refers to Russell Lindsay Black, not Reginald Lindsay Black (i.e. not Lindsay Black): in Lindsay Black's publication "The bora ground", 1944, the author states that his son Russell Black took the photos for the publication. Some of these photos appear in this album.
