The collection comprises 44 main items, which fall into two main categories: official and demi-official notes, orders, and similar material, also documents recovered from the battlefield or occupied zone. Although many of these either relate to Nicholson or bear ms notations by him, they do not generally refer to active operations. Many of the official summaries and orders were obviously removed by Nicholson from the notice board of his battalion officers Mess.
