American GI's Personal WWII Photo Album Featuring Pictorial Accounts of North Africa and Italy as Well as Basic Training -- Includes Several Pictures of War Tanks -- Nearly 300 Photos

American soldier Parker Hull's documentation of World War II, via 293 photographs. Hull's unit fought in North Africa in 1943, so many pictures capture the soldiers and their military equipment in the desert. Photos of ancient Constantine include numerous shots of the historic Byzantine buildings, and album concludes in Italy. Most photos measure 2.5'' x 3'', in near fine condition. Hardbound photo album measures 11.5'' x 14''; some pages are toned and loose but the photos themselves are quite good. Includes Hull's discharge documents.
