69737: Photographs from a Merchant Vessel
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Alfred Cooper was a keen photographer. During the war, he served on the HMT or SS Marthara (merchant vessel), travelling around the world as a radion operator. He collated his photographs in an album, which is now in the posession of his daughter. About Alfred: He was from York, one of three brothers. One brother, Edmund Cooper went into the Friends' Ambulance Service and served in France. He was awarded to Croix de Guerre. Alfred went to the Marconi school. He was a conscientious objector who initially worked in market gardens instead of doing active service. He then became a radio operator because this also exempted him from service. He worked in the railway office in York after the war, then went into insurance, married, and moved to Birmingham In the Second World War he was involved with Bletchley Park - people with experience in radio were recruited to listen to German radio messages. He worked in North Allerton doing this. He recorded in Morse Code (he learnt it at the Marconi School). He was told to do two hours listening at a particular frequency. The messages were then transferred by a rider to Bletchley Park for decoding. After the Second World War he became a professional photographer. Album contents: One photograph shows Alfred in uniform, aged 19 (he was born December 1898) Photos show pictures show various vessels and locations. One photo is captioned 'raising the flags of peace' and was taken in Sydney Harbour There are images of 'spark discharges' at several points (he told his daughter Frances his nickname was 'Sparks') The images include Venice, New Orleans, Montreal, Durban - and images of camping in Yorkshire. Front cover has a badge reading R N Transport. It's a WW2 badge that has been added later. About the ship: Internet searches for the ship only turn up this reference in 1919 from The Advertiser (Adelaide). Reference to Durban (link to a picture of Durban in the album?): http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/5629270. Further interest: More photographs and information about the Cooper family are in the family's possession(This story and material was shared at the Oxford at War 1914-1918 Roadshow on 12 Nov 2016)

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
