Wojtek Album Launch

On December 1st, 2013 in a lovely pub in central London Mrs Krystyna Ivell organised a launch party of the “Wojtek Album”, a unique item of a book containing a collection of photographs, eye witness reports and anecdotes in a limited edition of 1000 individually numbered copies.  Publishing of the book coincided with the 50th anniversary of Wojtek’s death, 2nd December 1963.
