Context

Likely to have been taken at No.7 Air Observer School, part of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, sited at Portage la Prairie. Amongst the signatures on the back is that of J Marshall who writes: "To my old pal the 'Flying Frenchman'", a nickname and play on the famous name of the"Flying Dutchman". However, Paul David does not appear to be in this group. Portage la Prairie is a small city in the Central Plains, Manitoba, Canada. Donated by Claude David.
