Most photos in this album are of a motor-tour to France (and possibly Italy) in 1929 by the Lloyd George family - David, Margaret, Megan, Gwilym and his wife Edna. Mrs Evelyn Sylvester also accompanied them. Many are of a tour to First World War battlefields believed to be related to Major Gwilym Lloyd George's military service.

[Lloyd George about to get in a car, registration no. YF5930]

Lloyd George is about to enter a car parked on the side of the road in an alpine setting. A young girl appears to be offering him a bunch of flowers. This may be the incident referred to by Sylvester on p185 of 'The Real Lloyd George' "...while enjoying a picnic tea peasant children presented us with bunches of Edelweiss. L.G. was thrilled and insisted on speaking to the children and giving each a present of money."

Photograph taken from a roadside looking towards snow-capped peaks. Concrete bollards line the far side of the road.
