This photo is a bit blurry but aren’t the colors great?

Thank you to Nicole Mountjoy for scanning these papers from the Gordon H. Hayes Collection.  Hayes served as a pigeoneer in North Africa and Italy.  He is the author of The Pigeons That Went To War.

Note:  You will notice that there isn't a page 10.  I checked with Nicole and after double checking the original document, she attributes this to the pages being misnumbered.
