On the left page is a formal photograph of of 47 trainee airmen and one officer, arranged in 4 rows.
The righthand page is entitled '3rd DEC 1943 "9" SQUADRON 22ND MAY 1944'. It holds two photographs.
The first is of a large commemorative board. On the board is the 9 Squadron badge, bracketed by the dates '1939' and '19??' [sic]. Above are the words: 'TARGET FOR TONIGHT' and below is the informal squadron motto: ' "THERE'S ALWAYS BLOODY SOMETHING!''. Below the picture frame there is a clock on a mantle shelf and fireplace. On the album page this photograph is captioned ' "TARGET FOR TONIGHT" THE SQDN LINE BOARD'

The second is a target photograph. It shows vague ground detail and some light traces. It is annotated '5B'. There is no caption to identify the target. Below it, written on the album page is ' "TARGET FOR TONIGHT" AIMING POINT PHOTO - MARIGNANE (AIRCRAFT FACTORY. 10 MARCH 1944).']]>
