CH. MCCALLUM C. H.
1918 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY AN INJURED BRITISH OFFICER NOW IN COMMAND OF THE HOME SERVICE EMPLOYMENT CORPS
BETTISFIELD PARK CAMP SHROPSHIRE ENGLAND. Very Good. 1918. On offer is an excellent well filled original 1918 World War I manuscript diary handwritten by British Army Officer C.H. McCallum while not specified directly in the book other related items in the original archive clearly identify the author who we learn from his service record in the diary spent the whole of 1918 in Britain where he was in command of the 568th HSE Home Service Employment Company part of the Labour Corps at Bettisfield Park Camp in Flintshire although the diarist himself records Bettisfield as being in Shropshire. We also learn that he was on active service in France and Belgium during 1916 and 1917 including a period with the Border Regiment on the Somme. McCallum writes of having been invalided back from France and as was often the case with injured men he was seconded to the HSE as a result of injuries sustained while on active service. We note a particularly interesting historic anomaly being that a number of the entries in the diary refer to German prisoners of war on camp and the diary does sometimes read as though it was the diarist's responsibility to manage these men. Thusly we believe the HSE Company was used to provide guards at Bettisfield. This would be an interesting fact given most research sources describe Bettisfield Park as a base for the No 2 Reserve Brigade of the Royal Field Artillery. We cannot find any historical record of prisoners of war at Bettisfield. McCallum does a super job as a diarist writing an entry for every day of the year many quite detailed and lengthy detailing day-to-day life in the camp and there are plenty of insights into the life of a home-based officer including references to comings and goings among his fellow officers courts martial logistical matters and so on all well mixed with the minutiae of his private life: particularly his wife Nancy and a new baby who live at Byfield in Northamptonshire. He follows military events closely in the press and frequently makes observations about the progress of the war. Of course this being 1918 the diary does include Armistice Day which he marks with a low key entry one that was perhaps characteristic of serving soldiers. He is pleased the war is over but seems quite low key perhaps fatigued with the War: 'A Great Day. Mons occupied by the British at dawn. Armistice signed 5 a.m. Fighting ceased at 11 a.m. The bells rang in the evening and people put out flags. Went into WIH's and drank a bottle of beer!' Overall VG.We note that we also have McCallum's 1929 India Service diary which he wrote as he assumed command of the 2nd Battalion Highland Light Infantry.

CH. MCCALLUM C. H.
1929 ORIGINAL BRITISH ARMY OFFICER MANUSCRIPT DIARY AND EPHEMERA HANDWRITTEN BY THE NEWLY INSTALLED COMMANDER OF THE HIGHLAND LIGHT INFANTRY IN INDIA
INDIA ASIAN SUBCONTINENT. Good. 1929. On offer is a super original manuscript relic and modest archive of ephemera of the British Army presence on the Asian Sub Continent and India specifically. Handwritten and compiled by Colonel C.H. McCallum of the Highland Light Infantry. The group includes a well-filled 1929 diary in which McCallum who had just assumed command of the 2nd Battalion Highland Light Infantry; a hunting 'Game Book' with entries for Scotland and India; a 1960 military journal featuring McCallum's obituary; 1950s passport for McCallum; four photographs of McCallum with family members. The diary covers in great detail preparations and travel to India on the HMT Dorsetshire then in Cawnpore Lucknow and other Indian locations the day to day activities of a battalion commander in India. Meetings courts martial social scene gossip etc. Many other officers and dignitaries mentioned including ".invited to meet Gandhi in morning but could not go as too busy." Captain Andrew VC is also mentioned. McCallum proves to be a super diarist with a droll style of writing as evidenced by this snippet: "Having on the 18th Dec 1928 to my most amazement and to the confounding of mine enemies who had been intriguing vastly against me been promoted Lt. Colonel to command the 2nd Bn of the Highland Light Infantry I did thereupon resolve to write a diary." He further provides a fascinating insight into daily military and social life in India in the Inter-War period. Another choice entry of many include details of a riot by HLI and Gordon's sergeants at a beer bar where an NCO was badly beaten and subsequent courts martial with "very heavy sentences". McCallum also buys a rifle from Sir Edmund Ironside "a great bargain". Diary binding is partially detached covers marked and warn interior in good condition. A little marking and wear to covers of game book and journal. Passport badly damp damaged. Photographs in good condition. Overall G. We note that we also have McCallum's 1918 World War I British Home Service Employment diary which he wrote after he had been invalided home from the European front.
