The regiment comprises three Regular Force battalions two Primary Reserve battalions and a band making it the largest regiment in the Canadian Army. The ceremonial home of the regiment is La Citadelle in Quebec City where the regimental museum is housed. The regiment is nicknamed the Van Doos an anglicized mispronunciation of vingt-deux "twenty-two" in French. The regiment's regimental headquarters is located in Quebec City with all three of its regular battalions stationed at various bases in the province of Quebec. The regiment serves as the "local" infantry regiment for Quebec. During the Korean War 1951-1953 the regiment expanded to three battalions each serving in turn as part of the Canadian brigade in the 1st Commonwealth Division. Thus the "Van Doos" represented one-third of Canada's infantry contingent throughout the war.

Unknown Soldier In The Philippino-American War
1899-1901 Shocking Remarkably Detailed Frontline Account of the Philippine-American War from the Perspective of a US Soldier
Donsol Pilar Manila Philippines New York Malta. Poor with no dust jacket. 1899-1901. Other. On offer is an unbelievable handwritten account of 19 months of action on the frontlines of the Philippine Insurrection the Philippine-American War between November 1899 and June 1901. An unknown American soldier writes of his experiences in a level of detail that cannot be overstated. This diary places the reader in the Philippines with shocking realism making this diary exceedingly rare. The 139 pages of this journalled account of events have been removed from a larger document and someone has pinned these loose pages together. This writing begins at the end of a sentence penned on presumably November 17 1899 and concludes half way through a sentence written on June 23 1901. There seem to be very few missing pages from within the journal and it reads very smoothly. The content is outstanding. The diary opens with our soldier diarist sailing from New York to the Philippines via the British Naval base at Gibraltar and the Suez Canal. He describes his experiences sailing sharing about a stop ashore in Malta a Thanksgiving spent at sea a concert enjoyed aboard the gunboat Nashville on the way to Manila and more. He arrives with his regiment in Manila on Dec 22 1899. The troops explore Manila and meet Filipino locals. In early January of 1900 they receive orders to head to southern Luzuon on the Kobbe Expedition which refers to General William Kobbes Expedition to Bicolandia. This expedition was in response to an urgent order from Washington to open up hemp ports of Southern Luzon due to an American hemp shortage. The problem was the port towns were largely controlled by Filipino Insurgents. Our diarist provides absolutely remarkable detail about Americas role in defeating the Insurgents and the tragedy of the Filipino peoples experience. Context indicates that our diarist was possibly a member of the 43rd Volunteer Infantry Regiments USV Company A. An excerpt that provides a sense of how our soldier explains the circumstances in the Philippines follows: Jan 16th we got the order to pack up and get ready to leave Mikata and to proceed to the Southern part of Luzon
we were put aboard the transport Hancock which was at anchor in the Bay of Manila
All combined we were named the Kobbe Expedition to the Southern Luzon to open up the Hemp ports and protect the natives from the Insurgents down there
On the 21st of Jan 1900 our boats dropped anchor in a bay named the bay of Sorsogon in the Province of Albay
All over this province there are large gangs of Insurgents holding the towns so at many towns our boys had a hard fight with the Insurgents before they could take the towns and the gun boat had to shell many of the towns. Our Regt. Occupied nine towns. Our detachment of A and D. Co. Were taken to a town named Donsol the gunboat Helena took us ashore from the Hancock
On their arrival ashore they were met by a crowd of Philippinos. They had an order from the officers of the Insurgents it read saying that they would not haul down their colors nor surrender for three days. So our Major returned to the gunboat and a short conversation was held with the officers of the gun-boat and it was decided to prepare the gun boat for action and land all of us. If the Insurgents fired one shot at us the gun-boat would shell the town
The hills were full of fleeing people. A detail of men were sent out on the hills at once then the Insurgents fired their first shot at us. Our boys had a warm fight for 15 minutes. They found the hills well entrenched and also found one big cannon. Lots of spears Bolas and wooden guns. They returned to town bringing in a few prisoners. A scouting party was seent and they saw a lot of Philippinos fleeing to the mountains. This town had a population of 10000 and three hundred were Insurrectors. The next thing we done was to find ourselves some good houses to live in. Outposts were put out all around the town. A few natives came across our post for a few nights and on the 22th Jan the Insurgents paid our town a visit setting fire to one of the big houses where our men were sleeping. Our men got out of the house without anyone being hurt. We surrounded the town fired a few volleys
. Later in January our soldiers regiment goes on the first of many missions all of which he describes in glaring detail. On this mission the troops attempt to leave Donsol for Pilar when they run into trouble as the connecting bridge was destroyed by Insurgents. They make it to Pilar and find the town has been deserted. As they march back to Donsol they find someone has lit the bridge ablaze: Jan 28th
We had a very hard time crossing the bridge burning our shoes and legs but we got safely on the Donsol side before the bridge fell with a crash into the river. We marched on
we heard several shots from the Mauser and Remington rifles. Next we discovered a big fire and a call to arms and fire call was sounded
The fire of the Insurgents got heavier. Our Major gave an order not to fire. He was going out in the front of our lines. He went out with a detail of men and discovered that our town was surrounded and the hills were full of Insurgents. He fired a few volleys then he came into town. The Insurgents answered him by firing a cannon. Then the Insurgents gave a yell and started to advance and we kept quiet and let them get close to our lines. Then we got the order to commence firing and the boys opened up all around the town and we soon put the Insurgents to flight firing a few shots as they ran. Next morning we discovered a few dead Insurgents close to our lines. The Insurgents almost always carry their dead and wounded along with them in their flight
Our soldier does an absolutely phenomenal job of describing not only the day-to-day in Donsol where he spends majority of his time but also the various missions in which he participates. His words paint a fulsome picture of the war: 21st Feb at noon our Major asked for a detachment of men to volunteer to go up the river on a scouting expedition. I along with 12 more men went out of our company and 12 out of D. Co. Along with Capt. Hart of D. Co. And our Major left Donsol in a hard paddle boat and one white boat in tow
On our way up the river we could see high hills on each side and the river was very narrow. There were many Insurgents outposts in the high trees all the way up and we fired at every one we saw. We went up a distance of 8 miles before we thought of coming home as it was getting late
We had traveled one mile on our homeward way when the Insurgents fired on us from the left hand ashore. Our men in the rear boat fired a volley into the two Insurgents and were taking good aim for a second volley when the hills fairly echoed with the yells from the Insurgents. They then opened up on the right hand side which was aimed at the white boat hitting one of our men our company
in the head and he was killed instantly. Then we answered their shots from each of our boats and from that time until we got back to Donsol we were under the hot fire of the Insurgents we could see the hills full of Insurgents and we had plenty to shoot at. We made every shot count. The insurgents even fired rocks at us from the high hills
. More texture is added when our soldier discusses aspects of the war that dont involve active fire. Some examples follow: March 5th Gen Kobbe of the 8th Army Cor was here on a visit and he said these two companies were a very industrious lot of men and that the building of the stocade and trenches was a very sensible work he also brought us 17 of the Battery G 3rd Artillery men and one Hotch Kiss gun for reinforcements. April 10th the mail boat was here bringing the report of Gen. Pawa likely Jose Ignacio Paua an Insurgent Gen in Command of the Insurgent troops through this province. He surrender to our Colonel in Legaspi Legazpi and was sent to the Military Prison in Manila. April 21st We took a long march across the hills in a round about manner to a town named Sevilla merely an Insurgent camp. The town was deserted on our arrival. Fires were still burning in the houses. Everything was just as they had dropped it in their flight. We passed through the town and discovered many traps laid in the roads for us. One trap was an arrow trap on each side of the path in the bushes and by pulling a strong the arrows would stick into anyone going down the path. None of their traps caught us. Our soldier writes frequently about expeditions for which he volunteers. He describes a mission to Banningaran sic. En route the men captured Captain Hernandiz sic; possibly Adriano Hernández y Dayot and his family before being caught unprepared by the Insurgents who severely injured one of the American sargeants. On their hike back to Donsol they are again attacked by the Insurgents this time caught off guard as they attacked from the rear. And so it goes for many more months. Our author describes the movements of the men with whom he is stationed his commanding officers and the various wins and setbacks of both the Americans and the Insurgents. In May of 1901 our soldier and his regiment begin the process of boarding a ship to return to America. There is of course never a straightforward path and there are many bumps in the road. However our soldier does eventually board a ship and begins again to describe his journey in detail. The diary cuts off abruptly mid-sentence on June 23 1901 as our soldier is describing being at sea with nothing but a sailboat in sight for miles. While we do not know our soldiers identity we do know he was safely heading home at the conclusion of his diary. We know he was a highly motivated volunteer soldier who displayed total buy-in to the mission of the Americans in the Philippines and we know he was a gifted writer penning his experiences with such texture and realism that the reader feels as though they too have been on the front lines of a bloody wet miserable war in the Philippines - fighting for America and for the displaced Philippino people forced to flee from the Insurgents to the mountains. This journal measures 8x5 inches and contains 139 single-sided sheets. The pages were all loose so the author has pinned them together with a single round-headed fastener post. There are no covers to this journal. As a result the first and last few pages show obvious and significant wear and tear including a large corner of the first page being completely ripped off obstructing the text. The handwriting is quite legible. Overall Fair to Poor. ; Manuscripts; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 139 pages . unknown

Wells, E, Returned Soldier
Fragments From Gallipoli and France by a Returned Anzac
Melbourne: Mitchell and Casey Printers: 1920 First Edition. Subsequently reprinted under the name V. Pretty in 1921. Decorated wrappers that is paper covers plus pp. 32 210 x 135 mm. In his Introduction Wells claims that the following sketches of life in the trenches are a faithful account of a soldiers life as it really is. Stripped of all gloss and glamor the realities of war are truthfully portrayed
. Short and longer pieces cover topics such as A Story of Gallipoli Over the Top and Winter on the Somme but there is no doubt that a legend with mythic overtones has been born although it is a legend that is being built on a foundation of bloody-mindedness as much as heroism and finds expression here in the vernacular rather than the elegiac for example in verse two of Anzacs Some of you got the V.C./Some the Gallipoli trot/Some got a grave by the sea/And all of you got it damned hot. Three short tears to the leading edge of the front wrapper neatly repaired; wrappers foxed; has been folded vertically; a good copy and internally very good. unknown

Wendtorf, Dirk:
Adoleszente Wehrmachtssoldaten in der Nachkriegsjugendliteratur : Opfer oder Täter? ; autobiografische Erklärungsansätze zur Motivation adoleszenter Soldaten. Studies in modern German literature ; Vol. 105
Wie neu! Das Buch untersucht Werke jugendlicher deutscher Autoren, die als Wehrmachtssoldaten im Zweiten Weltkrieg dienten und ihre im Krieg gemachten Erfahrungen in Kinder- und Jugendbüchern literarisch verarbeiteten. Im Zentrum der Studie steht die literarische Umsetzung der folgenden Fragen: Was bewegte die Autoren für das nationalsozialistische Deutschland zu kämpfen? Empfanden sie persönliche Verantwortung für das Geschehene und wie war ihre Einstellung zum Widerstand? Welche literarische Form wählten sie, um dem zeitgenössischen jugendlichen Rezipienten die Kriegserlebnisse zu vermitteln? Die Studie analysiert Werke heute unbekannter wie auch etablierter Jugendschriftsteller und umfasst den Zeitraum von 1947 bis heute. Der Autor beleuchtet den historischen und soziologischen Kontext, in dem die Werke entstanden bzw. publiziert wurden. Er bezieht in seine Untersuchungen aber auch die affektive und kognitive Entwicklung eines Heranwachsenden mit ein, um die Motive, welche die Autoren als Begründung für ihr Handeln anführen, aus entwicklungspsychologischer Sicht zu erhellen.

Gifford Palgrave' to "Dear Joseph" regretting he is unable to make the journey William Palgrave Gifford. Speaker's Court the Palace Westminster undated. 15x10 cm. In English. 2 pp. in good condition with a separate photographic portrait of Palgrave. William Gifford Palgrave was an English priest soldier traveller and Arabist author of A Personal Narrative of a Year's Journey through Central and Eastern Arabia 1862-1863. Palgrave was born in Westminster. He was the son of Sir Francis Palgrave and Elizabeth Turner daughter of the banker Dawson Turner. His brothers were Francis Turner Palgrave Inglis Palgrave and Reginald Palgrave. He was educated at Charterhouse School then occupying its original site near Smithfield and under the head-mastership of Dr Saunders afterwards Dean of Peterborough. Among other honours he won the school gold medal for classical verse and proceeded to Trinity College Oxford where he obtained a scholarship graduating First Class Lit. Hum. Second Class Math. 1846. He went straight from college to India and served for a time in the 8th The King's Regiment of Foot Bombay Native Infantry H.I.C. Shortly after this he became a Roman Catholic was ordained a priest and joined the order of the Jesuits Society of Jesus and served as a member of the order in India Rome and in Syria where he acquired a colloquial command of Arabic. He convinced his superiors to support a mission to the interior of Arabia which at that time was terra incognita to the rest of the world. He also gained the support of the French emperor Napoleon III representing to him that better knowledge of Arabia would benefit French imperialistic schemes in Africa and the Middle East. Palgrave then returned to Syria where he assumed the identity of a travelling Syrian physician. Stocking his bags with medicines and small trade goods and accompanied by one servant he set off for Najd in north-central Arabia. He travelled as a Christian. The service he would do for the Society of Jesus and the French empire would be as a spy not a missionary. Palgrave became friendly with Faisal bin Turki bin Abdullah Al Saud while in Riyadh Saudi Arabia. Faisal's son Abdul Rahman bin Faisal asked Palgrave to get him strychnine. Palgrave believed that Abdul wanted to poison his father. Palgrave was accused of espionage and was almost executed for his Christian beliefs. <br/> <br/> Manuscript ALS., [ca. 1875] unknown

WORLD WAR II IN JAPAN. ALS. 2pgs. October 1 1945. Hirosaki Japan.

We made it up here O.K. but the ship sure was loaded. We landed at Aomori and this place is inland about 30 miles. We have had no trouble at all. We spent the first night at an airport and then moved to another Army camp the next day then the third bn came up and took over here. I was in on the big thing at this camp I came up with the first gen jeeps and saw the Jap General sign the camp over to us then to top it all off I was picked to take the Jap General to his home. He talked to me all the way but I didn’t know a thing he said. When he got out he saluted me. He seemed happy about the whole thing. The climate here is good and cool. We have a big mt right afore us and it looks just like Mt Fugiama sic. They say it sure gets cold here in the winter. The rice is just headed out and it is very pretty here but I hope I can soon come home…We are cleaning this camp up now it sure needed it. I don’t see how the Japs lived in it. Bugs and dirt all over. We sure are making a change in the looks of it. They say they might give each one of us a Jap Rifle and bayonet to take home I don’t think there is any thing to it. I sure would like to have one. They sure can grow the fruit and garden stuff here but they sure are way behind in the way to live. I think even behind the Philippines…The papulation sic of this place in 97000 and Aomori – 57000. Aomori was bombed and it sure was smashed and burned. Well we have a few Japs working in this camp and I think as a whole they will like better from now on that ever before. There clothes are all patches but they look healthy and happy. Well I will write more later. I hope we soon get a mail call. Tell Ann and the rest Hello. Everything is fine here. Write soon. Dale.†The letter is in fine condition. hardcover books

WWII identified Black soldier Archive W W I
Black Army Transportation Corps Soldiers from Segregated World War II Service to the Truman Desegregation Era Occupied Japan Belgium and Germany in 100 Photographs 1941-1952
1941. African American Army Transportation Corps photo archive depicting Black enlisted men and noncommissioned officers in wartime transport service occupation duty and domestic training between 1941 and 1952. The strongest identified material centers on the 3528th Transportation Corps Truck Company active from 1943 to 1946 and its successor the 551st Transportation Corps Truck Company active from 1946 to 1947. A captioned portrait places Joseph Galloway "somewhere in Belgium" on December 6 1944 ten days before Germany opened the Ardennes offensive that became the Battle of the Bulge. President Harry S. Truman issued Executive Order 9981 on July 26 1948 requiring "equality of treatment and opportunity" in the armed services but Army integration unfolded gradually through the occupation years and into the 1950s.<br /> <br /> Photo archive of 100 silver gelatin photographs ranging from 1.75 x 2.25 inches to 3.75 x 5.5 inches United States Belgium Japan and West Germany circa 1941-1952. More than half show Black soldiers in uniform including studio and outdoor portraits weapons training field scenes recruits and senior noncommissioned officers. Galloway poses with a pistol in Belgium; transport trucks appear in operation and maintenance; unit facilities domestic training camps interregimental competitions a 155 mm howitzer and soldiers beside a Sherman tank marked "Barbra" extend the record beyond portraiture. Occupation-era scenes include bombed urban landscapes in Japan locations identified as Osumi and Kyoto Black troops with Japanese civilians Buddhist monks at a temple and later service in West Germany including Bonn and Karlsruhe. Approximately one quarter bear manuscript captions identifying individuals dates or locations.<br /> <br /> In WWI many Black troops were denied combat roles and assigned to stevedore work labor battalions butchery companies road work hauling unloading ships and other manual support duties. The National Archives specifically notes that many Black units were kept from front-line fighting and "relegated to support duties." These Black soldiers served heavily in transportation engineering construction and supply roles during World War II making Army logistics one of the central places where African American military labor sustained Allied movement while the armed forces remained segregated. Several scenes place Black and White soldiers working alongside one another preserving the transitional military culture between wartime segregation and the uneven implementation of Truman's desegregation order. Light edge wear occasional creasing and minor surface abrasions to several prints; manuscript captions legible where present; no significant losses observed. Overall in very good condition. The archive gives named faces unit evidence vehicles weapons occupation landscapes and manuscript identifications across the decade when Black military service moved from segregated wartime labor toward formal integration. unknown
