‎GUY NEWMAN‎

‎1901 - 1905 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY HANDWRITTEN ALMOST OBSESSIVELY BY A BANKER AND PERFUME DEALER EXEMPLIFYING THE NEW AND FASHIONABLE EDWARDIAN ERA‎

‎HAVERSTOCK LONDON ENGLAND. Good. 1901. On offer is a fascinating enigmatic original December 1901 to May 1905 Edwardian Era manuscript diary handwritten by we believe Guy Newman of Haverstock in London England. Less than a year after he death Mr. Newman writes a diary that exemplifies the end of Queen Victoria's less sociable more austere reign into the breathy heady days of Edward's fashionable regency. He writes with a near obsessive qualities: the writing legible but very small fills each page as he creates a diary of almost extraordinary detail of the doings and happenings from his intimate personal circle to the social and political scene in London to almost the entirety of England: he refers to the two wicked women being hanged in Holloway; the death of Cecil Rhodes; a visit to the Zoo; relatives off to South Africa; train journeys; Royal Tournament; King and Queen's procession just to note the merest of jottings. A banker the young man who marries in June of 1902 references the stock market and corporate doings frequently and as historians will agree he was at the epicentre of the financial world and arguably the most enviable country in the world; in the rush to get ahead we learn he and his wife to be whom he calls 'Babs' or 'Bessie' have a business selling perfume and there are numerous entries relating to orders and contact names. That said we find Mr. Newman an odd man. The book proper has a stiff paper cover which has had a small rectangular window cut into it. Pasted on the back is a square of paper with the start and finish dates of the diary. The pastedown now torn covers and partially obscures what appears to be the inscription ownership information. The name Guy Newman is visible resting on the upper edge. However Guy makes the reader very confused until one understands he writes in the third person. For example he lists himself and Bessie in the wedding presents as 'Guy to Bessie' and 'Bessie to Guy'. He even writes at one point that he has to see someone to sell perfume and that 'Newman has promised him an order for Christmas'! While the cover of the 210 page 7 x 5 x � inch thick book is chipped and scuffed and a little knocked the interior is very good and overall G. ; Manuscript; 12mo - over 6�" - 7�" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF GUY NEWMAN ELIZABETH NEWMAN BESSIE NEWMAN HAVERSTOCK LONDON ENGLAND HOLLOWAY HANGINGS EDWARDIAN ERA THE CITY FINANCE ECONOMICS PRE WORLD WAR I PRE WW1 TURN OF THE CENTURY ENGLISH ECCENTRICS BRITAIN BRITTANICA OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE OCD 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 ANTIQUIT� CONTRAT V�LIN DOCUMENT MANUSCRIT PAPIER ANTIKE BRIEF PERGAMENT DOKUMENT MANUSKRIPT PAPIER OGGETTO D'ANTIQUARIATO ATTO VELINA DOCUMENTO MANOSCRITTO CARTA ANTIG�EDAD HECHO VITELA DOCUMENTO MANUSCRITO PAPELBIOGRAPHY BIOGRAPHICAL AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL AUTOBIOGRAPHY PERSONAL NARRATIVES . unknown‎

‎GUY SMITH MIKE CROSS‎

‎1956 ORIGINAL HANDWRITTEN RETROSPECTIVE JOURNAL DETAILING THE EXCITING AND GRIPPING EVENTS OF OPERATION MUSKETEER AN ANGLO-FRENCH PLAN TO CRIPPLE THE EGYPTIAN AIR FORCE DURING THE SUEZ CRISIS‎

‎SUEZ CANAL ZONE SINAI PENINSULA 1956. On offer are a number of exceptional documents directly related to Operation Musketeer an Anglo-French plan for invasion during the Suez Crisis of 1956. They include a 17 page handwritten diary of a National Servicemen Guy Smith onboard the aircraft carrier HMS Eagle the center of the Mediterranean Fleet on standby in case of invasion. There are also two letters from much more recently only one is dated on 2011. The first letter is from the wife of the Mr. Smith explaining a bit more about the person behind the diary. The other is from a man who was onboard the HMS Dalrymple also part of the Fleet in the Operation. The 17 page diary is titled �An Extensive Signal Exercise Or Operation Musketeer� and was written by a National Serviceman named Guy Smith. It begins �The fleet started to leave Grand Harbor Malta at 0830 Monday the 29th of October 1956.� He mentions that the Eagle was the flagship of the fleet �carrying the flag of Vice Admiral Power.� Immediately �disaster struck the flagship� as a wire holding an aircraft to the flight deck broke and the aircraft was dragged overboard sinking the ship and almost killing the pilot. He mentions the feeling onboard the ship as it headed towards the Suez Canal: �.the Captain announced that Israel had attacked Egypt and her troops were within seventy miles of the Suez Canal. The Navy he said must be prepared to act at a moment's notice.� The diary also explains the plan of Operation Musketeer: �The first was the complete destruction of the Egyptian air force this was expected to take 48 hours and then stage two the actual occupation of the Canal Zone could proceed.� The next few pages go into very specific detail about how the two stages would proceed and a delight to read for anyone interested in tactics of post WW2 warfare. On November 1st an air offensive begins. The diary again goes into very detailed explanations of the air strikes: �During the day's operations the ship had steamed 220 miles flew 114 sorties 75 strikes ten enemy aircraft destroyed 17 damaged a radar station and many tanks and vehicles destroyed. Ammunition expended included 22 of 1000 lb bombs 32 of 500 lb bombs 232 armor piercing rockets 15000 rounds of 20mm at the loss of one aircraft.� The diary continues in its details about the operation until the ceasefire on November 6th. The diary finishes with the author explaining the importance of the operation to the Royal Navy. Finally the last page contains a list of �The Anglo-French Naval Force off Suez not including launching ships and craft and troop ships.� The list includes the name of the aircraft carriers destroyers battleships paring class ships frigates cruisers fast minelayers and fleet auxiliaries who participated in the operation. The letter by his wife states that he was �a National Servicemen on board �Eagle�� and that at the time of Operation Musketeer he was �the Admiral�s State Board Keeper / Messenger.� She writes that �as with so many National Servicemen they were some of the �best years of his life� and I am only sorry that he is no longer here to tell the tale.� The other letter by Mike Cross states that he was a �young A.B. Able Seaman� on the HMS Dalrymple one of the last ships to leave Malta for the Suez Canal. He also states that the ship was �flying the UN flag so they gave us overalls and a beret� and did not look like he normally did while on duty. The three documents are all in good or very good shape. The diary has some slight discoloration and small tears on the edges but nothing that affects its structure or legibility. All three letters are written in pen and easily readable throughout. The diary is undated but obviously is older than the other two letters. This is a fantastic small archive for those interested in secret operations of war the Suez Canal Crisis that defined a region for many years to come or the intimate details of modern warfare post World War 2. Background: Operation Musketeer French: Op�ration Mousquetaire was the Anglo-French plan for the invasion of the Suez canal zone to capture the Suez Canal during the Suez Crisis in 1956. Israel which invaded the Sinai peninsula had the additional objectives of opening the Straits of Tiran and halting fedayeen incursions into Israel. The Anglo-French military operation was originally planned for early September but the necessity of coordination with Israel delayed it until early November. When the United States threatened to devalue the British currency the Pound Sterling the British cabinet was divided. Prime Minister Sir Anthony Eden called a ceasefire without Israeli or French officials being notified. Launched without a clear aim other than revenge with the abandonment of international diplomacy Operation Musketeer was a failure in strategic terms. By mischance it covered the Soviet Union's military intervention in Hungary on 4 November. On this issue and more generally on the principle of premature military action against Egypt the operation divided public opinion in the UK. It demonstrated the limitations of the UK's military capacity and exposed errors in several staff functions notably intelligence and movement control. Tactically successful both in the sea and airborne assaults and the subsequent brief occupation it was undertaken on the margin of capability. It was the last venture of its kind. Good. Folio - over 12" - 15" tall. Manuscript. unknown‎

‎GWEN STEDMAN later KENNEDY‎

‎1942 - 1947 HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT TORONTO HOMEFRONT DIARY‎

‎TORONTO ONTARIO ON CANADA. Good. 1942. On offer is the original handwritten manuscript 5 year diary 1942 - 1947 of Gwen Stedman later Kennedy who resides in Toronto in the East York - Riverdale area with frequent mentions of Broadview and Danforth Pape Avenue Logan Woodbine . This is a super home-front Toronto diary as this dedicated diarist details a charming picture of a vintage Toronto living experience with the mention of visits and trips touching many many popular spots in the city some still existing others closing over the years. This diary is A in the Toronto nostalgia index for the later World War II years and just after the War. She mentions: movies at the Uptown evening at the Stork Club off to the Pilot for pie and coffee big fire at the Tudor Hotel blackout nights in 1943 dancing at the Arcadian 'with a fellow from Peterboro. Rather nice but hair awfully thin.' dancing at the Royal York's famed Imperial Room Besides the treasure trove of vintage Toronto content is a very interesting sociological and gender studies thread. This girl is 18 years old b.1925 died Sept. 7 2006 at the earliest writings and she never misses a day until the end of the book at the age 23. Her life is split between family mother father and brother Ron and boys held together by work at Lever Brothers shopping and entertainment. Sadly her boyfriend of two years enters the war and is killed in operational action over India in 1945. Multiple memorial newspaper clippings attest to Gwen's deep feelings for 'Andy'. That said there are a number of 'dark' entries including the very first day of January 1943 when she writes: 'Dick called in evening. What is marriage coming to I was nothing short of surprised.' Dick appears to be a senior married employee at Lever Brothers. Research finds Gwen's obituary with the following: "Daughter of the late Sidney and Ada Stedman.Predeceased by her late husbands Frank Kennedy and Hugh Adrain and her brother Ron Stedman. Formerly of Lachine Ste. Adele and Rosemere Quebec." The leather of this 5 year diary is chipped and rubbed the hinges are cracked but overall G.; Manuscript; 32mo - over 4" - 5" tall; CANADIANA RIVERDALE EAST YORK DANFORTH TORONTO YORK UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO VARSITY STADIUM LEVER BROTHERS GENDER STUDIES WOMEN'S STUDIES BLOOR STREET WWII WORLD WAR II HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH DIARY JOURNAL LOG KEEPSAKE WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS DIARIES JOURNALS LOGS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL PERSONAL HISTORY CANADIANA TRAVEL GERMANY ANTIQUIT� CONTRAT V�LIN MANUSCRIT PAPIER ANTIKE BRIEF PERGAMENT DOKUMENT . hardcover‎
