‎SOTHERN, Edward Hugh (1859-1933)‎

‎Autograph Quotation Signed‎

‎Son of the American stage star Edward Askew Sothern junior was a standard in many a Broadway romance and adventure production from the 1880s on; he married Julia Marlowe and starred with her in Shakespearian dramas. AQS heavy stock 3½" X 2" card tipped to slightly larger brown autograph album leaf n.p. n.y. Near fine. In his usual hurried scrawl that makes the text of this quotation unfortunately illegible Sothern pens two brief lines perhaps "What a - - / love is & etc / Highest Buddha" -- or perhaps not! in a rich brown ink signing "Yrs EH Sothern" as usual. Despite the improbability of an accurate transcription an interesting attractive piece. unknown‎

‎SOTIRIOS MANDRA‎

‎1937 - 1943 ORIGINAL ARCHIVE OF LETTERS NOTEBOOKS DOCUMENTS AND PHOTOGRAPHS REVEALING THE SERVICE OF A SAILOR IN THE GREEK ROYAL NAVY PRIOR TO AND DURING WORLD WAR II‎

‎GREECE HELLAS CHIOS. Good. 1937. On offer is an interesting group of letters journals note books and documents relating to Greek Royal Navy sailor Sotirios Mandra b.1905 son of Isidoros and Maria. He started from Chios Island but his background seems to be from Mikrassiatis. The group deals with his naval career from 1937 through 1943 but we learn from the materials that he began serving in the Greek Navy in 1920 and that he served on SS Theofano Livanos and the "William H. Point". The group includes: handwritten notes on the ship SS Theofano Livanos from random observations and personal comments notes from various reading materials some rules from the sea and cargo expenditures; a book of Mathematics Geometry Trigonometry notes relating to navigation; technical notes for the "William H. Point" including tonnage fuel consumption sizes of masts hatches no. of lifeboats etc.; nautical information for learning about sailing navigating by the stars and sun geographical symbols in Greek and English; his Greek passport; GENERAL INFORMATION for Officers on Warships; General Calendar of distances and trip observations; photographs of William H. Point and others. HISTORICAL NOTES: WIKI: In 1938 Greece ordered four modern Greyhound class destroyers in English shipyards making a serious step towards modernization. The outbreak of war in Europe however allowed only two to be delivered. Greece entered World War II with a weak navy consisting of 10 destroyers two outdated battleships two light cruisers and six submarines. On the eve of the Italian invasion in 1940 the RHN consisted of 34 ships and 6500 men. The Hellenic Navy suffered its first loss of the war on 15 August 1940 two months before the formal outbreak of hostilities when the cruiser Helli was sunk apparently by an Italian submarine. During the Greco-Italian War the Navy took over convoy escort missions in the Aegean and the Ionian Sea and undertook three raids against the Italian supply convoys in the Strait of Otranto. The most important role was given to the submarines which although obsolete managed to sink several Italian cargo ships in the Adriatic. When Nazi Germany attacked Greece the RHN was decimated by the Luftwaffe suffered the loss of 25 ships within a few days during April 1941. It was then decided to shift the remaining fleet one cruiser - the famous Averof - six destroyers five submarines 3 torpedo boats and a number of auxiliary vessels to Alexandria in Egypt. Here the ships were repaired and equipped with modern anti-aircraft weapons. For the remainder of the war the RHN fought alongside the Allies from bases in the Middle East. As the war progressed the number of Hellenic Royal Navy vessels increased after the concession of several destroyers and submarines by the British Royal Navy reaching a peak of 44 ships and 8500 men in early 1944. The most notable aspects of the Hellenic Royal Navy's participation in World War II include the operations of the destroyer Vassilissa Olga which until sunk in Leros on September 23 1943 was the most successful Allied destroyer in the Mediterranean Sea; the participation of two destroyers in Operation Overlord; and the story of the destroyer Adrias which while operating close to the coast of Kalymnos in October 1943 hit a mine resulting in the loss of the vessel's prow while blowing the two-gun forward turret over the bridge. After some minor repairs at Gümüslük Bay in Turkey the Adrias managed to return to Alexandria in a 400-mile trip even though all the forepart of the ship up to the bridge was missing. Six Greek warships participated in the Sicilian landings and in the subsequent Italian campaign. In April 1944 a mutiny arising from political causes broke out on 5 Greek warships berthed in Alexandria and spread to a number of other Greek naval and merchant vessels. It was put down by Greek Marines who suffered 50 casualties.; Manuscript; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF SOTIRIOS MANDRA NAVAL MARINE GREEK NAVY GREECE WWII WW2 WORLD WAR II NAUTICAL GREEK SAILOR MARINER SEAMAN GREEKS FIGHTING GERMANY GREEK RESISTANCE MEDITERRANEAN THE LEVANT HELLENIC NAVY HELLAS HELLI RHN GRECO-ITALIAN WAR AVEROF HELLENIC ROYAL NAVY VASSILISSA OLGA LEROS OPERATION OVERLORD ADRIAS KALYMNOS GÜMÜSLÜK BAY ADRIAS STRAIT OF OTRANTO HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT AUTOGRAPHED AUTHORS DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH KEEPSAKE WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL PERSONAL HISTORY ARCHIVE DIARY DIARIES JOURNAL LOG PRIMARY SOURCE FIRST HAND ACCOUNT SOCIAL HISTORY PERSONAL STORIES LIVING HISTORY ANTIQUITÉ CONTRAT VÉLIN DOCUMENT MANUSCRIT PAPIER ANTIKE BRIEF PERGAMENT DOKUMENT MANUSKRIPT PAPIER OGGETTO D'ANTIQUARIATO ATTO VELINA DOCUMENTO MANOSCRITTO CARTA ANTIGÜEDAD HECHO VITELA DOCUMENTO MANUSCRITO PAPEL . unknown‎
