Photo album owned by John Lamson and sent home to his familyContext
John Lamson was a MM1c on Battleship Texas from May 1917 to June 1919. Throughout his time on Texas, he sent a letter to his family at least once a week, often more. Longer stretches of absence are explained either by movement across the Atlantic, or with the Grand Fleet.
Many crew members kept photo albums that each have hundreds of photos chronicling their service onboard.Collection
