Joint leave pass and railway ticket belonging to E Fernell of the Allied Expeditionary Force. It’s likely he would have been involved in D-Day. The stamp on the rear shows he must return to Camp C 19 in Southampton by 1400 hours on June 1st 1945. I believe that camp might have been on Southampton Common. via New Forest & Hampshire WW2 Heritage group @ https://www.facebook.com/groups/400948317956198
