privately made, England
BONHAM (fl. 1910s-20s) – photographer, slides B.1-B.9, B.10-B.11
ROWDEN, A.O. (1877-1960) – slide maker, all 29 slides
TANNER, H.N. (1884-1952) – photographer, slides T, T, T.1, T.1, T.4, T.27, T.49, T.79-T.81, T.84, T.93, T.95-T.96, T.99-T.101, T.114
These photos appear not to be by Rowden himself, though they all have his style of mounting and titles. Some are credited to 'Bonham' ('B' in Rowden's slide numbering) and others ('T') to 'Tanner's neg[ative]'.
The reference to 'Rytol' on some slides refers to the photographic developer used; Rytol was a brand name in use from 1908 onwards.
The date is speculative, based on the photograph of the Baqubah refugee camp in slide B.7.
