Description

Note on the back by Pte E. S. Rees reads:

“Bethlehem, the town where Christ was born, it was rather a nasty day when this photo was taken, raining heavily: note, the sun striking on the town in the distance. A very quaint place, the photograph was taken when we was on the ??? & just entering into the reknown place. The Church I have previously mentioned about is situated under the x, the actual place where the barn and stable was situated.”

Evan Samuel Rees joined the army at 19 and served in the Middle East during the First World War. Medal no.1669, PTE E. S. Rees with the R.A.M.C (Royal Army Medical Corps). He survived the WW1 and returned to live at home in the Swansea area.
