Captain and Mrs Wilmot S. Nicholson at the Harwich Force Sports Day, Parkeston.

Captain and Mrs Wilmot S. Nicholson in conversation at the Harwich Force Sports Day. Behind them is one of the fenced-off playing areas. Mrs Nicholson has her back to the camera while Captain Nicholson is looking past her right shoulder. The right of the image is affected by either under-exposure or from the dark uniform of someone standing in front of the photographer.

Aurora's starboard watch crew were given leave between 1pm and 7pm to attend the athletics sports on 8 September 1916. [Ship's log, TNA, ADM 53/34496]

The negative has a series of regular scratches down it making it a poor quality image.
