| Title | Sketches of Camp Life at 'Dingle' Dunwich. |
| Abstract | July 28th - August 6th, 1921.
Small sketch book with leather cover which is engraved "Camp Memoirs". The author is not known - the book was bought by Pam around 1985. 'Guides' are mentioned on some pages, so the camp described is for Girl Guides, and some of the comments suggest it was compiled by one of the girls. Dingle is an area of marshes near Dunwich in Suffolk.. |
