Stamboul, Turkey (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

    Hi, this photo is being discussed in one of the projects in the Flickr Commons group, and we'd love to have this added to the group pool!

    Such a suprise to me. There had been so many ships and boats. Haliç was barely seen. Interesting!
  • Five Impulse said:
    On the left there is a capital hand writing: STAMBOUL, then commonly used for İstanbul. On the bottom left is a writing, first what seems to be initials H.H.(?) and 'Vue panoramique Constantinople (?)' Can anyone make out the last word?
  • Futuristic Iron said:
    I can't quite make out the middle part of white on white. But I think it definitely ends in "de Galata." This might refer to the View of Constantinople taken from the Galata Tower or a View of Constantinople including the lower parts of Galata in the foreground. I'm not sure. Although, if it's from Galata Tower, we should be able to see the Ottoman Bank (http://lcweb2.loc.gov/service/pnp/cph/3g10000/3g11000/3g11600/3g11646v.jpg). You can see a better panorama on the LOC Web site: http://loc.gov/pictures/resource/pan.6a35826/

    The neighborhood is so delightfully cluttered that it's hard to pick out any individual buildings. Try to pick out the bank building in this photo for example: www.flickr.com/photos/zoutedrop/2886498879/in/photostream/ I'm pretty sure this was taken from Galata Tower. The mosque on the skyline at left is almost certainly the Hagia Sophia and the one to its right is probably the Blue Mosque, as it's in the right place and has the right number of minarets.

Ayr [Aya], David

from State Library of Queensland

    David duly completed the AIF enlistment form – called the ‘Attestation Paper’. He confirmed his age, occupation, and marital status and noted that his home was in Queensland. David advised that his next of kin was ‘(Sister) Robertson Y M’. On the second page of the Attestation Paper he made the following oath in the presence of the Attesting Officer: “I, David AYA … swear that I will well and truly serve our Sovereign Lord the King in the Australian Imperial Force until the end of the War … SO HELP ME, GOD.” David was assigned the AIF service number 8071 which would appear on his active service and medical records.
