Disassembled photo album from a soldier witnessing an Ethiopian atrocity. He titled the photos “attack on the decamere road construction site”. This is likely the Gondrand massacre, although I have not seen these photos in the two other collections I have seen on the Gondrand massacre. In addition, the last photo shows a number of Ethiopians hung, and this would have been the Italians taking their revenge after the fact. 20 snaps in all. B
