In all of the other multi-page items in this collection the pages are written with the right page first, and the left page following, even though the writing itself is left to right as normal.
This is the only one where the pages come sequentially from left to right. Interesting.
I am mistaken. I have come across item 25 that does this as well.
The “Bovil” Robert mentions may be “Bovril”. Bovril was a common food item in WW1. It was/is a type of meat extract.
