Cuttings taken from a wide variety of publications, with many illustrations and portraits of many officers and men of the C.I.V., red leather and board covers, with ‘C.I.V 1900’ embossed in gold, 59 card pages, each 530mm x 345mm, covers somewhat damaged, the contents in very good condition £140-£180

This lot was sold as part of a special collection, The Jack Webb Collection of Medals and Militaria.
