His personal archives hold extensive records of his military service and activities on leave between 1940 and 1943. The photographs portray Lees and other soldiers during their free moments and in battle as well as everyday scenes at the base and outside. He photographed Aboukir Alexandria including the zoo Cairo and Mersa Matrouh the site of several battles. In 1941 he was in Tobruk where he photographed as always everyday scenes and interesting buildings and documented the siege; he was also in Derna and Benghazi. Lees was especially fond of Jerusalem where he visited and photographed the holy sites. The first album opens with a Certificate of Pilgrimage with a chip of rock from the Grotto from Lees's visit to the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem issued signed and stamped in Greek by Archimandrite Kyriakos; Lees also kept a memento with the leaf of a tree from the Garden of Gethsemane. The albums include fine views of Beirut's cityscape and other areas of Lebanon where he visited ruins and the Jezzine waterfalls as well as of Syria with several Roman sites and a coastal town perhaps Latakia or Tartus.

There are also several images of the Oregon Agricultural College now OSU baseball team including image of Walter “Keck going for first base” in May 1911. Keck was center fielder for the 1910-1911 OAC baseball team; “Max Meyer - Twirling” for his wind-up as pitcher for the 1911 team with note on verso from Bert to Charles asking him if “have you anything on the Popcorn Kings that has anything on this fellow;” or “Our Ball Players” with Bert writing that “Mysterious Walker and his bunch of ball tossers. Walker is second from left. Moore was kicked out.” Bert also sent a few images of the OAC Regiment passing in review marching and the assembly hall at the College. Also included are shots of fishermen and strings of fish in and around Forest Grove the Wilson River and views of hiking and wagons driving on the beach near Cannon Beach and Ecola Oregon together with views of the Cannon Beach Home inn and the group standing atop a massive Douglas Fir tree stump next to the cabin. In addition to images of baseball teams playing there are also photos of the Beaverton July 4th celebration in 1911 view of the Hotel Beaverton with flags and bunting draped across the front and crowds in the street. An RPPC addressed to Charles from “Kenneth” alias “Crooky” details games played by the Emporia State Normal School against the Aggies with score of 6-6 won 7-2 against the Kansas State Manual Trade School when he suffered a concussion and were playing the Kansas State Normals at Emporia later that week in 1911. One of the auto camping photos shows Bert Pilkington and his wife Annie Bleeg Pilkington Charles’ older sister setting with their two children against their touring car and auto tent whiles others depict hiking in the forest and fishing alongside the stream. The remainder of the album focuses on the 1912 fishing adventures by Charles Bleeg and friends including Warren Woodard and “Doc Wadsworth” as they drove from Forest Grove along the Wilson River to Tillamook and fishing and camping along the way. The images show the 1912 Schacht Brass Era touring car members of the fishing party with their surprising amounts of catches of trout camp scenes digging out the Schacht from the mud alongside the rough roads and the bucolic beauty of rural Oregon at the time. Four of the images are larger and include a “Flashlight” view of the group seated amidst their camping equipment laundry hanging above their heads hatchets on the wall behind and fishing equipment while others show fishing rods creels and equipment and fish literally spilling out in a cornucopia and labeled “A day’s sport -- on the Big Nestucca August 15 1912.” Bleeg 1891-1979 worked for Archer & Combs who were wholesale hardware dealers specializing in automobile parts in the Brass Era and also sold automobiles such as the Schacht. The company later became Archer & Wiggins and he also worked for other firms in Portland OR while attending North Pacific College to become a dentist like his older brother Fred Bleeg. After graduating in 1915 and serving in World War I he set up offices in the historic Selling Building on NE 21st Ave. in Portland where his practice remained until the 1950’s. His son Charles Henry Bleeg 1922-2018 founded and operated the very successful Bleeg Motors on 16th & Sandy which was the oldest continuously operating car dealer in Oregon and in fact he remained in his offices working up to his death. Pilkington 1879-1937 was captain of the Oregon Agricultural College football team from 1904-1905 and later became professor of chemistry as well as athletic coach. He married Bleeg’s older sister who had attended OAC in 1907 and often referred to Charles in his notes on the RPPC’s as “Otter.” Charles Bleeg, Bert Pilkington, Oregon Agricultural College, hardcover
