Contained in a box file with original handwritten labels, the first of which, written by Milligan, has been overlaid and of which only the bottom half is still visible, reading: […] | Drawings | Vol II | Rommel - | Gunner | Who.’ The overlying label, also written by Milligan, reads: ‘‘Gunner Who? | Rommel | Almost completed | M.S | Vol II | WAR MEMOIRS’.
