Czech-Slav soldier battlefield
World War I Soldier Experience Photographic Record of Czech and Slovak Legion Troops in European Campaigns
1917. Czechoslovak Legion soldiers photographed during World War I document the participation of Czech and Slovak troops fighting alongside Allied forces in campaigns across Europe. Approximately seventy eight photographs record military life among soldiers associated with the Czechoslovak armed formations that emerged during the war as nationalist units seeking independence from the Austro Hungarian Empire. The images depict trench warfare troop encampments drills and daily life among soldiers whose political objective was the creation of an independent Czechoslovak state. The photographs illustrate the conditions and routines experienced by these soldiers during the conflict that ultimately contributed to the establishment of Czechoslovakia at the end of the war in 1918.<br /> <br /> Photographic album containing approximately seventy eight photographs measuring about 4.75 x 6.5 inches mounted on album leaves. The images depict soldiers in trench positions infantry movements across terrain and group formations during drills. Additional photographs show military camps outdoor meals mess areas and group portraits including one of a military band. Several photographs capture village architecture including houses courtyards and churches encountered by the soldiers during the campaign. The album also contains images of wartime medical care including a medic working with wounded soldiers a funeral scene with graves and cemetery crosses and a horse drawn wagon train traveling along a mountain road. Other photographs depict staged performances and theatrical scenes presented outdoors for soldiers.<br /> <br /> During World War I Czech and Slovak nationalist leaders organized volunteer military formations known collectively as the Czechoslovak Legions composed of soldiers drawn from prisoners of war and expatriate communities who sought to fight alongside the Allied powers against Austria Hungary. Their participation in the war strengthened international support for the creation of an independent Czechoslovakia which was established following the collapse of the Austro Hungarian Empire in 1918. Photographs of trench systems encampments and military drills in this album illustrate the entrenched character of warfare that dominated much of the conflict as armies constructed extensive defensive systems while attempting to break enemy lines through periodic assaults. Album containing approximately seventy eight photographs measuring about 4.75 x 6.5 inches. Album boards show chipping along the edges while photographs remain clear with strong contrast. Overall condition very good. unknown

Davis, James R.
The Sharp End : A Canadian Soldier's Story
270 pages. Through James Davis's eyes we see the real face of Canada's army: efficient, technologically advanced - sometimes brutal. The uncompromising opinions Davis has about the strengths and weaknesses of our present-day military are backed up by his own first-hand experience at "the sharp end" as a front-line soldier. Will interest not just military buffs but also those who want to understand the life-and-death pressures facing Canada's soldiers at home and abroad. "If Canadians really want to know what our soldiers faced in Bosnia, Rwanda and right here in Caada, Jim Davis delivers. Read him and think." - Desmond Morton. Book and dust jacket clean, bright and unmarked with very light wear. Excellent copy. Book

Donovan, William J "Wild Bill" (1883-1959). American lawyer, diplomat, soldier and intelligence officer, best known as the head
TYPED LETTER SIGNED by the then attorney and future head of the OSS WILLIAM J. "WILD BILL" DONOVAN to future Congressman Seymour Halpern.
<p>New York November 14 1932. 1932. Very good. - Over 85 words typed on his 8-5/8 inch high by 6-1/2 inch wide "90 Broad Street" stationery. Addressing the young campaign volunteer Seymour J. Halpern William J. Donovan the future head of the Office of Strategic Services writes "We have been through a hard fight together. We did not win the title but we did a real job." He goes on to show his appreciation to the young autograph collector "I want you to know that I appreciate that the fight could not have been fought as it was if it had not been for your continued loyalty and support. Please accept this as my symbol of appreciation." Signed in full "William J. Donovan". Donovan ran for Governor of New York State to succeed FDR in 1932. A Republican he lost to Herbert Lehman. Folded in half for mailing the edges are soiled and there are tears to the edges of the fold. Very good.</p><p>To house his law firm in March of 1932 Colonel William J. Donovan leased a large suite of offices in the Stone & Webster Building at 90 Broad Street in New York City.</p><p>The American attorney diplomat soldier and intelligence officer William J. Donovan 1883-1959 is best known as the head of the OSS the Office of Strategic Services which was the war time precursor to the CIA. A veteran of World War I Donovan was awarded the Medal of Honor the Distinguished Service Cross the Distinguished Service Medal and the National Security Medal. In 1941 FDR established the Office of the Coordination of Information with Donovan as its director. Once the U.S. entered the war the COI became the OSS in June of 1942 with Donovan now a major general as its head. Donovan created the OSS as a military psychological warfare service to include both psychological and unconventional warfare. The service would soon include elements that would be called "special operations" the first phase of which would be intelligence penetration including research and analysis and propaganda followed by a second stage incorporating sabotage and subversion. This second stage would be followed by guerilla action commando raids and support of resistance movements.</p><p>An avid autograph collector in his youth the then 19-year old campaign volunteer the future Queens New York Republican Congressman Seymour Halpern 1913-1997 started his political career as a campaign aide to New York's powerful mayor Fiorella La Guardia and first served in New York's State Senate for 14 years before seeking a seat in the U.S. Congress. In Albany Halpern sponsored 279 bills that became law including measures on schools housing civil rights nutrition and mental health. A Liberal he was something of an anomaly as the lone Republican representative from New York City and generally garnered support from Labor Unions and endorsement from the Liberal Party. Yet he never even considered switching parties as he considered membership in the Republican Party a family tradition and commitment. While he found ample time for his private pursuits including painting and collecting autographs he took his legislative duties very seriously. Of these he was proudest of his co-sponsorship of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and of the original 1965 Medicare legislation.</p> [New York], November 14, 1932.

Douglas, Sir Howard (1776-1861). Soldier, colonial administrator of New Brunswick, author of the "Douglas Code" for the Ionian I
AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED BY SIR HOWARD DOUGLAS REQUESTING A DRAWING FOR HIS "TREATISE ON NAVAL GUNNERY".
Green Street London: April 15 1860. 1860. Very good. - Letter penned in black ink filling most of both sides of a sheet of cream paper approximately 8 inches high by 6 inches wide bordered in black. The letter is tipped onto a slightly larger piece of card stock. Signed "Howard Douglas". There is a tiny chip to the left edge of the black border. Folded twice for mailing. Very good <p>Howard Douglas writes to Colonel John St. George 1812-1891 Director of Ordnance at the War Office asking for the return of a drawing of a gun which he wants to include in his upcoming book "Treatise on Naval Gunnery" fifth edition revised published in 1860. "I am anxious for the return of the drawing which I sent to you of the Armstrong Naval Gun on its carriage.The omission would deprive my work of a good deal of interest.I have stopped the Press waiting for your reply".<p>General Sir Howard Douglas 3rd Baronet 1776-1861 was a British military officer and Member of Parliament for Liverpool from 1842-1847. After entering the Royal Military Academy Woolwich he was commissioned Second Liutenant in the Royal Artillery in 1794 becoming Lieutenant a few months later. He served as Governor of New Brunswick from 1823-31 and had to deal with the Maine boundary dispute with the United States of 1828. He also founded Fredericton College now known as the University of New Brunswick and was its first Chancellor. From 1835 to 1840 he was Lord High Commissioner of the Ionian Islands where he introduced a new code of laws known as "the Douglas code".
