Oblong leather-bound folio album (with string-tie binding). The album consists of 244 photographs (all tipped in) of various sizes and origins, but most of the photographs (at least 200) were taken by Williams or his colleagues during their time stationed in Shanghai. Photographs show Marines in the city, natives therein, street scenes, rural scenes, views in temples, Marines marching and in casual situations. Also contains nine photographs captioned in the photos (commercial photos) documenting public beheadings, captured rebels, police action; five hand-colored landscape views; and 17 panoramic views of countryside, the Great Wall, temples, and more. Some captions written in ink.

Album and a few loose photographs of the United States 15th Infantry Regiment (2nd and 3rd Battalions) in Tientsin and Shanhaikwa. The album, set up in reverse chronological order, opens with a series of 15 stock photographs of atrocities committed by the Japanese against the Chinese, following the Japanese invasion of Manchuria and the taking of Tientsin in 1937. The album owner appears to have kept a record of his time in China right up to the end, the time of the Japanese attack on Tientsin. The majority of the album consists of numerous snap shots taken in the 1920s of the camp, the company members, and scenes of life in the city. Captions on the verso identify two company members as Paul G. Jones and Lawe; many are dated June 1925. The images depict the regiment in various locations: in the city with many landmarks, including churches, schools, parks and pagodas; posing with Chinese troops, in parade formation, practicing with artillery in the field, and in camp with rows of tents. There are numerous snap shots of city street scenes: vendors, horse drawn carriages, a curtained litter being carried through the streets, festival scenes, members of a brass band, and US Navy vessels in the harbor. There are also printed photographs and three Chinese postcards.
