Photograph album of royal visit
Ellinor Caldwell nee Walton's photographs of the Saint John's Ambulance Brigade Hospital at Etaples
While working as a nurse at the Saint John’s Ambulance Brigade at Etaples, Ellinor Caldwell nee Walton collected together a series of photographs which documented her war-time experience. According to her family, she was a keen amateur photographer and it some of the photographs in her albums were her own work. Others seem to have been taken by professional photographers and some are duplicated in the album of Veronica Nisbet:

This selection from her collection, which has been arranged into an “album” and attached to this page, show pictures taken during the visit of Queen Mary to the Saint John’s Ambulance Brigade Hospital at Etaples on 6 July 1917. These are probably professionally taken photographs and some of them appear in the souvenir album which can also be viewed on this website.
