Uniformed Soldier
An albumen paper carte de visite photograph of a man in military uniform complete with distinctive tall fur cap rifle and sword-bayonet
The full-length studio portrait 92 � 55 mm is mounted as issued on the printed card of W.H. Schroeder 649 George Street Haymarket 'and at Princes Street Grafton'. The firm was definitely active at that address from 1867 to 1879 but the image appears to be earlier rather than later in this period. The uniform is that of the NSW Volunteer Artillery from the 1860s. Very similar caps are also to be found in a Tasmanian photograph in the collection of the Australian War Memorial A04784 'ten men of the Hobart Town Volunteers Artillery and ten men from the First Rifles' dated October 1863. 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 soldier�s 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.

WILLIAM GIFFORD PALGRAVE English priest soldier traveller orientalist and Arabist 1826 1888.
Autograph letter signed 'W. Gifford Palgrave' with his original print portrait photograph with a fez.
Westminster: Manuscript ALS. ca. 1875 1875. No Binding. Very Good. Original autograph letter signed ALS 'W. 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.
