Volume, paper with board covers and leather binding, GWR accounts debtor notes, Jan. to Jul. 1917. Consists of notes of monies owed to particular accounts by other accounts, external clients, other companies etc. Each note is stuck in, and stamped with an entry date and number which presumably refers to a ledger. This volume was one of a large series as it is numbered 120. The original title has flaked off the spine. Shows how the company was funded, property owned, dividends calculated, work undertaken across all branches of the company, the cost and purpose of war work, claims for damage following accidents (in one case for one of its ships damaged during war work) and how the company supported the War Office and claimed payments, etc.
