Alfred Percy Freeman. Kent & England 1914-1936. M.C.C. Tour of Australia 1928/29. Official 'Orient Line, R.M.S. Ormonde' souvenir brochure for the M.C.C. Australian Tour 1928/29'. Decorative covers with M.C.C. colours. To inside pages, real mono photograph of the M.C.C. team laid down to the itinerary page, pen pictures and biographies of the M.C.C. team etc. The brochure contains the full set of tour results and was probably published in limited numbers just prior to departure, the final page states, 'Freemantle, March 25th - M.C.C. having retained "The Ashes" embarked in R.M.S. "Ormonde" for England'. Some foxing and wear to covers, otherwise in good condition. A rare brochure for the return trip and unusual to see, the S.S.Otranto brochure, for the outward trip being much more widely seen. This was Freeman's copy
The touring party travelled out from Toulon on the S.S. Otranto and returned from Freemantle on the Ormonde on 20th April 1929 having won the Ashes series 4-1
