(CIVIL WAR SOLDIER DIARY)
1862 Diary Of Civil War Soldier Sergeant Edward Allen Goodwin Killed April 16 1862
EDWARD ALLEN GOODWIN unknown-1862. Goodwin was the Sergeant in Company K of the 23rd Regular Massachusetts Volunteers. This is the diary of Edward A. Goodwin Co. K 23rd Regt. M. of. M. This diary is THE AMERICAN UNION DIARY FOR 1862 an annual published diary accessible and likely provided to Union soldiers during the Civil War. After a few pages that include a calendar and interest tables the diary provides space for each day of the year 1862. Goodwin wrote entries every day from January 1st to April 7th and none thereafter. At the time Goodwin was serving in the 23rd Massachusetts Infantry Regiment which was a part of the Coast Division under General Ambrose Burnside. Entries are handwritten in either pencil or black ink. Notable entries include: aFriday 7: Naval engagementplace lasting from noon till sunset. Troops were landedin the afternoon and evening. Bivouacked on Roanoke Island in the rain. b Saturday 8: Captured a rebel battery in a swamp. Took 3000 rebel provisions and the whole island wasSergt. Howard hurt his foot. W.S. Clark missing. Both entries describe the Battle of Roanoke Island fought February 7th and 8th 1862. Part of General Ambrose Burnsides expedition to capture key ports in the Outer Banks the battle first saw Union gunboats first firing on Confederate forts under the command of Henry Wise until Burnsides soldiers could land ashore unopposed. and the forts on shore engaged in a gun battle with occasional contributions from the Mosquito Fleet. The next day the Union soldiers successfully flanked the Confederate artillery and infantry defenders on both sides forcing a retreat into the Confederate forts. The forts were then individually taken with the Union suffering only 264 casualties and capturing 2500 Confederate defenders. c Friday 14: Fought the battle of New Bern. Took over 100 pieces of artillery ammunitioncamp equipment &c. I arrived at night in the tents of the enemy. This entry describes the Battle of New Bern fought on March 14th 1862. After first advancing up the Trent River General Burnside had his soldiers exploit the weakened center of the line of the defending Confederates under Lawrence O'B. Branch. This allowed the Union Navy to shell Fort Thompson forcing its abandonment and shortly thereafter the city of New Bern too. 90 Union soldiers were killed and 64 Confederates were killed and 413 were captured. d Monday 31: Sick all day. Took horses.e Monday 7: Saw Amoat the hospital. DeceasedRain in the afternoon. These two entries foreshadow Goodwins ultimate fate including his last entry on April 7th 1862. Goodwin would pass away in New Bern on April 16th. Having survived two major battles unscathed at least according to his diary Goodwin most likely succumbed to disease. It is estimated that 2/3 of Civil War soldiers who died during the war died of disease not in battle. His body was ultimately returned to Massachusetts and is buried in Mansfield. The pages of the journal are in good condition but the exterior of black leather is frayed and partially torn. It should be handled very delicately but its value as a lens into the mindset of a Civil War soldier is immense. hardcover

18th CENTURY INJURED SOLDIER
Corporal Thomas Brown an 18th century injured Corporal of the King's Own Regiment Dragoons Battle of Dettingen. An original Robert Graves engraving published c.1809
Robert Graves London Undated c.1809. Unframed Print. Very Good Condition. Robert Graves was renowned for his historical engravings which often depicted military figures and events. This particular illustration portrays Corporal Thomas Brown in 18th-century military attire. He is dressed in a distinguished uniform featuring a buttoned coat a sash across his chest and a striking tricorn hat an iconic piece of both military and civilian fashion of the time. His rank is indicated by the cord on his right shoulder. The tricorn was not just a stylish accessory; it served a practical purpose shedding rain and providing an unobstructed field of vision.Corporal Thomas Brown gained fame for his remarkable bravery during the Battle of Dettingen in 1743 a conflict within the War of the Austrian Succession. As a member of Kings Own Regiment Dragoons Blands Dragoons Brown demonstrated extraordinary courage by reclaiming his regiments standard after it had fallen into enemy hands. In the heat of battle he lost two horses beneath him and sustained grievous injuries including the loss of two fingers and most of his nose. Despite these wounds he fought his way through enemy lines recovered the standard and returned it to his regiment earning enthusiastic cheers from his fellow soldiers.His heroism was later recognized by King George II who awarded him a gold-topped walking stick a silver prosthetic nose and a pension. After retiring from military service Brown settled in Yarm where he ran an inn named after himself. He passed away in 1746 and was laid to rest in St Mary Magdalenes Church where his marked grave remains today. This unmounted image is approx 10 x 15 cms the sheet overall is 20 x 28 cms. Mildly creased in the outer margins which will simply disappear from view when mounted and framed.

[Anonymous British Soldier]
MANUSCRIPT. FIRST WORLD WAR TRENCHES DIARY. Diary of a British soldier of the 49th Infantry Division ending abruptly on December 19 1915 the first day Phosgene gas was used against the British
France Belgium England 1915. Good. Oblong 8vo. Small "Walker's Service Notebook" 154 x 94 mm lined 26 pages filled with neat entries in pencil and pen final page of diary loose the remaining portion of the notebook i.e. about 2/3 blank. Original limp cloth covers worn. § Extraordinary manuscript diary of an anonymous British soldier beginning April 12th 1915 and ENDING ABRUPTLY IN THE TRENCHES AFTER A GAS ATTACK. The final entry was dated December 19th 1915 which was THE FIRST DAY PHOSGENE GAS WAS USED AGAINST BRITISH SOLDIERS. The short diary is rich in detail of life at the front. The anonymous soldier belonged to the 49th West Riding Division which had a large number of gas casualties when soldiers in reserve lines did not receive a warning in time to put on their helmets. A study by British medical authorities arrived at a figure of 1069 gas casualties 120 of which were fatal. It is very possible that the present manuscript was written by one of those men. It seems probable that with access to the right regimental records the identity and fate of the soldier could be learned and his story told in full; however even as an anonymous diary the interest and poignancy of this personal record is clear.<br /> <br /> The events recorded span just nine months. On April 12th the soldier leaves Edenthorpe near Doncaster and crosses the channel to Le Havre that evening "packed like herrings" and accompanying horses and wagons. Over the next few months he records laying lines opening signal offices handling horses towns and villages visited billets and meals injuries regiments encountered names of comrades and O.C.s shelling rain and mud. He sees the Northumberland Hussars the Indian Corps and Royal Horse Artillery. On May 9th he records the Battle of Aubers Ridge: "Off duty at 7am. Attack began at 5am by Artillery. Signal thro' during day showed heavy losses in E. Lancs Lincolns. 13th London and other Batts. Had coffee in Fleurbaix and then to bed in barn. Off duty 3pm. Attack still proceeding without much impression on our line. French said to be doing well. At night we have the two windows in our Signal Office made up with corrugated iron & sandbags."<br /> <br /> For the entry dated May 12th our author notes that the name of the Division has been "altered to the 49th" thereby confirming the identity of his Division. On May 24th: "The Allamands dropped about 6 shrapnel in our vicinity."<br /> <br /> From a period of steady work and periodic pleasures "had tea & cakes at a patisserie & and then back after buying some books" "glorious day" the situation deteriorates with the weather "torrential rain dugouts leaking & 18" water on my floor".<br /> <br /> They move to Chateau de Trois Tours and on July 13th there is "rather an exciting night" with a bombardment from 7.30 to 10.30. On the 14th "The whole place is being encircled by barbed wire & trenches & the furniture is being moved out of the chateau." On the 15th "At 12.45pm about 12 shells fell round the chateau made a dive for the Signal Office Billy Edwards & Gus Harris wounded in thigh and ankle." They were shelled again on the 16th.<br /> <br /> On December 1st he travels back to Sheffield on leave returning on December 8th. The company are now holed up near Ypres at Hospital Farm the name given to a farm building used as a dressing station. The final entry reads "Dec 19th 'S.O.S.' Gas attack 5.30 am things lively until 8.30am. 146 & 148 des. 148 soon repaired from chateau". The cemetery at Hospital Farm contains 115 Commonwealth burials of the First World War.<br /> <br /> On the significance of the 19 Dec. 1915 battle at Wieltje Belgium northeast of Ypres see the long Wikipedia entry "German Phosgene Attack of 19 December 1915." <br /> <br /> The diary contains many clues that could help identify our writer in military records. It is not certain that he was one of the first British casualties to Phosgene gas but it seems tragically likely. As it stands the final entry in the diary marks an important milestone in the war: phosgene gas would eventually be responsible for about 85% of the 90000 deaths caused by chemical weapons during World War I. unknown

[Uniformed Soldier]
A carte de visite photograph of a man in military uniform complete with distinctive tall fur cap rifle and sword-bayonet
The full-length albumen paper 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

[Unnamed Soldier]
1864 Civil War Soldier Letter with Hand-Drawn Map - Monkton Maryland - Guarding the Northern Central Railroad - 'Chicken Raid' Incident
Very Good. HAND-DRAWN MAP OF MONKTON MD - UNION SOLDIER DESCRIBES GUARDING THE NORTHERN CENTRAL RAILROAD AND A CHAOTIC 'CHICKEN RAID' DURING THE FINAL YEAR OF THE CIVIL WAR.<br /> <br /> An original Civil War manuscript letter dated September 14 1864 written by a Union soldier stationed in Monkton Maryland. The letter features a remarkable hand-drawn map of the town and military outposts documenting the regiment's duty guarding the vital Northern Central Railroad bridges and a humorous incident involving a 'liberated' flock of chickens.<br /> <br /> Key Features:<br /> Visuals: The final page features a detailed pen-and-ink hand-drawn map of Monkton MD. It identifies the 'Northern Central Rail' 'River' Gunpowder Falls 'Covered Bridge' 'Hotel' and 'Our House' Barracks.<br /> Content: The soldier details life on guard duty at the 'Covered Bridge' building a brick stove for warmth and sleeping on straw. He recounts a a vivid and informal account of an improvised 'chicken raid' following a rail stop illustrating camp life food scarcity and soldierly opportunism late in the war. where a train passed carrying chickens; eight chickens "got off" escaped or were pulled off leading to a chaotic chase by the soldiers and the Captain to secure 'soup for dinner.' Full transcription available<br /> Postal History: Includes the original envelope addressed to Mrs. W.P. Kimball in Wenham Mass featuring a 3-cent George Washington stamp 1861 issue and a Monkton MD postmark.<br /> The envelope features a 3-cent George Washington stamp 1861 Issue tied by a Monkton MD postmark. Please Note: A previous owner noted this as a 'Scott #64' on the protective sleeve; however it has not been expertized and is sold as the more common Scott #65 Rose variety. We leave the final determination of the shade to the buyer.<br /> Transcription: A previous owner has handwritten the letter onto one page in attractive cursive. We also has a typed transcript available.<br /> <br /> Physical Specs:<br /> Date: September 14 1864<br /> Dimensions: Standard bi-fold letter sheet approx. 5x8 inches folded; Envelope included.<br /> Format: Handwritten ink on period writing paper.<br /> <br /> Condition: Very Good - The handwriting is legible and ink remains dark. Paper shows standard age-toning and fold lines consistent with mailing. The map is clean and sharp. This letter offers a specific window into the defense of the Northern Central Railroad NCR a critical supply line for the Union Army connecting Baltimore to Harrisburg. In 1864 regiments like the 8th Massachusetts Infantry were stationed along this line to protect bridges from Confederate raiders Gilmor's Raid had struck this area just months prior in July 1864. <br /> <br /> The mention of the 'Covered Bridge' at Monkton is historically significant as this was a key infrastructure point. The soldier's map provides a rare first-hand topographical view of the encampment layout relative to the rail line.<br /> <br /> Keywords: Civil War Letter Monkton MD Northern Central Railroad Hand Drawn Map Soldier Art 8th Massachusetts Infantry Wenham MA Covered Bridge Military Correspondence 1864. unknown
