Some pieces on Prince Albert - 1936 to late 1938.
Judging by the sheer amount of cuttings about Prince Albert amongst the pages of the scrapbook, I have a feeling that Auntie Betty may have had a soft spot for the Albertines.
These cuttings and photographs cover the period from Prince Albert's exile to his return to Britain.

Editor’s notes: Information given in the newspaper cuttings is an elaboration of the background information give in the “1938 A Very British Civil War, The Source Book” (2nd edition) and “The Army of Prince Albert, Lord Protector” book, both published by Solway Crafts & Miniatures. The photographs are from “The Life and Times of King George VI, 1895-1952” published by Oldhams Press Limited, London.
Any content of any other part is all my fault. The usual AVBCW disclaimer applies, see the disclaimer page for details.
