Note on f. 1r: 'The College feels that it will be a matter of great historical interest in after times to have a record of the names, ranks, & home-addresses of those U.S.A. and Dominion Officers who are its guests during the war. Visitors are therefore requested to enter these (& any other particulars which they may care to record) in this book, together with the date of their visit'.

Note on f. 2 r. 'This book was bought, on the instructions of the College Council... on November 7th, 1942, & placed in the rooms at the north end of the Master's Lodge which were set aside as bedrooms for U.S.A. & Dominion Officers staying in College during the war. Before it was institute three officers had stayed in these rooms. As they had no opportunity to enter their names in the book, they have been entered by the Deputy Junior Bursar'. These three names then follow.

The rest of the book is filled in by the officers themselves; as well as dates of stay, names, rank, and addresses, places of education are often recorded; brief comments of appreciation of Trinity and Cambridge are often added. There is a poem by J. P. Clemenceau Le Clercq, 'A Ballade of Thanks to Trinity College', dated 9-10 Nov. 1944, on ff. 46-47

Chelsea. - Originally enclosing a letter from Squire, describing the burning of the 'Cromwell letters'; comparatively little use now for FitzGerald to call on Squire, but Carlyle still wishes he would. Dawson Turner has already tried to see Squire's material, but without success.

Maps of Wadi Gsea and plans of the dams of the Wadi el-Me by David Oates, Alan Wells, and R. M. Bradfield, made during expeditions led by Oates in 1949 and 1950, and Bradfield's solo return to the area in 1951. While investigating late-Roman olive farms during the first expedition the team stumbled upon a series of massive late-Roman dams along the course of the Wadi e-Me, a major tributary of the Wadi Gsea. Most of the material contains explanatory notes by Bradfield made in 2011-2012.
