The Hunts Post of the 1 March 1918 reported that Mr Whitney had recently been attached to the photographic section of the RFC in Italy.

They include military photographs as well as images of days spent on leave in Venice and with the villagers in the surrounding countryside, and also one of the Prince of Wales, who served on the Italian Front for short periods in 1917 and 1918.
