A page from a 1939 sailor's scrapbook documents a day of liberty in Gibraltar, the British Crown Colony guarding the western entrance to the Mediterranean. Sailors in dress whites stroll the shaded paths of the Alameda Gardens, pose together as shipmates, and tour the Rock by horse-drawn carriage. A closing photograph of a Cross of Sacrifice war memorial -- a monument style associated with Commonwealth war graves -- offers a solemn counterpoint to the day's leisure, a reminder of the First World War still fresh in memory as a new conflict loomed.
