Photo: Brian B

Another soldiers bible, this is the inside back cover of a first world war bible.It was given to me by Mrs Ingram,who lodged in Land St, just after the second WW. As usual I regret not asking more about Bombardier Ingram when I had the chance.I would appreciate any knowledge about soldier Ingram or the camp where the bible was issued.
