Additional Details

A newspaper article on the reverse of the frame details a story about Captain E. D. Warder, who is shown in this group of photographs, and his betrothed, Miss Dunham. Capt. Warder apparently sent Miss Dunham photographs of colleagues as mementos, which Miss Dunham stored in an album. Sadly, Capt. Warder was killed in the war, and the pictures were placed in this period frame.
