CHAPLAIN JOHN WESLEY ADAMS
1864 - 1865 ORIGINAL SIGNIFICANT CIVIL WAR MANUSCRIPT DIARY OF THE RENOWNED 'FIGHTING SECOND' NEW HAMPSHIRE REGIMENT HANDWRITTEN BY THEIR BELOVED CHAPLAIN AND BATTLE READY COMRADE
WITH THE 2ND NEW HAMPSHIRE REGIMENT. Good. 1864. On offer is a superb original historically significant manuscript diary and relic of the Civil War handwritten by noted Chaplain John Wesley Adams born in Townsend Massachusetts in 1832 the seventh generation ancestor of the Presidents Adams. On December 5 1863 Mr. Adams was commissioned chaplain of General Gilman Marston's original command "The Fighting Second". Devoting himself to social and moral welfare of his comrades Adams was renowned for the care of his men. Side by side he participated in the battles at Bermuda Hundred Point of Rocks the second engagement at Fair Oaks Swift Creek Proctor's Creek Drury's Bluff Cold Harbor Siege of Petersburg and entering Richmond under General Devens the day of his surrender. Mr. Adams preached before his regiment on the death of Abraham Lincoln Adams was discharged in 1865 in a testimonial on parchment. Joining the NH Conference Adams was successful with over a dozen notable pastorates. In 1876 he was chosen a delegate to the General Conference in Baltimore serving four years as secretary of his conference. The 42 page coverless diary is comprised of folio sized sheets are in 3 text blocks held by string and are titled as detailed 'excerpts' from the diaries of the renowned pastor. Retrospectively done but very very soon after the dates of the original writings Chaplain Adams provides a factual retelling of his vast service and in fact the writings include for example in one case a riveting word for word passages with a soldier condemned to die for desertion only to exalt in a reprieve to then be shot the next day.

Charles A White
1952 Original Handwritten Diary Account of an American Army Mp Who Witnesses the Bloody May Day Riots in Japan and Serves in the Korean War
On offer is a small diary where young American Army MP Charles A. White recorded his experiences in Korea during the war. <br /><br />White was from St. Louis Missouri. He enlisted in the United States army in 1948 and served in the 95th Military Police Battalion. This battalion was the largest most geographically dispersed military police battalion in the United States Army. The unit fell under the command of the 18th Military Police Brigade. The 95th was activated in June 1945 in Germany and operated until its inactivation in June 2014. It served in post-war Germany the Korean War the Vietnam War Iraq and Afghanistan. <br /><br />White's diary begins with him preparing to board the troop carrier USNS General Hugh J. Gaffey leaving from Fort Leonard Wood and bound for Korea. "Went aboard USNS Gen. Hugh J. Gaffey at 1300. Cold nasty day. Ship large nice. Sposed to be best troop ship. Pacific. Movies crowded. Food not bad. Weather warming. Do nothing today but police. Am enjoying trip a lot. Wish was in Navy. Ship 16000 tons. 608 feet 23 knots. Said to be in tail of hurricane. Weather worsening. Little sleep tonight almost tossed out top bunk. Still stormy; ships paper reports 60 foot waves still supposed in hurricane. Dependents topside. Certainly going first class" April 2. <br /><br />On April 14 the ship arrived in Japan. "Weather nasty. Word passed we have guard tomorrow for debarkation. Rainy. Passed Yokosuka dropped hook. Still raining cold. Guard debarked ship. Jap train to Camp Drake. Processed. First views of Japanese and buildings. Little wooden hovels and some US type buildings. People smile seem very friendly to US G. I.' s. Drake's buildings 450 ft. Long. Jap prep school. PX fabulous. Thru processing. Hope I get G. H. Q. Find M-1 for zero. Japanese are interesting bunch. All smiles and little bows. Beginning to realize a little of what people like about this place." <br /><br /> White's April 30th entry discusses the Bloody May Day riots for which he was present. By June he had arrived in Korea. "We pull CQ here every fifteen days and it gets rather tiresome after awhile. Have a lot of planes. Red and Yellow for air and ground attack several air alerts but no enemy planes. The Han Bridge is blocked out as is a great deal of the area surrounding it which makes it a glorious black target in the midst of the lited area in case of a possible raid. Won is supposedly sold legally at 6000 to the dollar but the value fluctuates with the time of the month near or far from payday on the black market and who buys it legally The usual range is from 7000 right after payday to maybe 110000 toward the end of the month. You are continually besieged by little boys who look to be about 7 but are probably nearer 17 who want to 'changyamung' or invite you to a 'Horahora' where they assure you the girls are all clean well educated and Japanese" June 9. <br /><br />Measuring approximately 2.5 inches by 5.75 inches the diary contains 52 pages and is approximately fifty percent complete. The cover and binding are in good condition as are the pages. The handwriting is legible. This is an excellent perspective of the Korean War seen through the eyes of an MP who was there on the ground. A military historian would find this valuable in cross-referencing other information. White's comments add a human note to this very grim war experience. hardcover

Charles Albert Rodock
1943 Manuscript Diary and Personal Items of a US Navy Recruit from Ohio Who is Delighted to Join Up and Describes Daily Training with Enthusiasm and Rare Detail
Great Lakes Training Center Chicago Nellie Ohio. Good with no dust jacket. 1943. Hardcover. On offer is a diary that doubles as a coming-of-age tale of a 20-year-old newly inducted US Navy serviceman from Nellie Ohio kept for three months in 1943 while he trained at the Great Lakes Training Center near Chicago graduated took a short leave back in Ohio and headed to his next base in Hitchcock Texas. During this time he describes in very impressive and rarely-seen detail every aspect of his training and adjustment to army life. The author of this diary is Charles Albert Rodock 1922-2012 who worked as a grinder at the Timken Company in Canton Ohio for his entire career. He married bookkeeper Mary Kathryn Jones 1927-2017 and together they had one child Deborah Jean b. 1952. To learn more about Charles and the Rodock family of Ohio see BIO NOTES at end of listing. Charles registered for the army in 1942 at age 19 and was inducted into the army on March 9 1943 and began training at the Great Lakes Training Centre on March 19 1943. He kept this diary carefully until a few days before he was transferred to the Naval Air Station Hitchcock Texas in late June 1943.Charles follows the flow of his My Life in the Service diary to the tee. He fills five pages titled My Buddies and My Buddies in the Service to record and have his pals record their names addresses and some well wishes. He leaves the intervening pages blank and picks back up at the diary section of the book and begins right at the beginning: I was sent to Columbus for induction into the US Army. I chose Navy and was held over that night March 9. Over the next several days he writes of each days events related to his induction into the service from his swearing in to his medical checks to his travel to Chicago where he arrived on March 18. His energy for his new job as a member of the US Navy cannot be overstated nor can the detail with which he describes his daily routine as he trains into his role. Excerpts give a sense for the vigour and detail with which Rodock writes: Up at 5: 30 in the morning. Took a physical exam. Passed with flying colors. Got a real set of clothes and sure wasnt sorry I joined the Navy. Sure got my first taste of navy chow. Breakfast was good Dinner fish and Supper stews. What a time when I first got into my Navy blues which made me feel like I just became a man March 19. Went to morning quarters inspection for the first time. We have it every morning from here on out. Had a class in Navy statutes and then clothes rolling. I got all of mine done in good shape. Bag inspection is soo so the C. P. O said. Company is beginning to go to work and get things done. We got our smokery privilege but no canteen privilege yet. Got a very nice picture from Betty April 7. Got a class in boxing and final two shots. They were the worst two and one fellow fainted as we were about to leave the drill hall. Then we drilled four hours in the afternoon. I stood guard while the boys went to a show
April 8. To day was a long tiresome and very disgusting day. We were on regimented work detail. Started off with early morning quarters and then fire drill
. Ended up by standing guard from 8: 00PM util 12: 00 midnight April 9. We got up and then started to pack our things sea going style. We cleaned up the barracks and started to our new camp at 8: 30 AM. Arrived in Camp Green Bay at 10: 00 AM and met our new C. P. O. He gave us instructions on first about every thing. I met Buck at the canteen at 5: 30PM. He sure was glad to see Jack and I. We had quite a get together. I took him into my barracks and I went into his afterwards. Then I had charge of taking the boys to the show. We saw Cabin in the Sky. Then we got back to our new barracks and prepared for bed. It sure was a great day and a busy one. Because of our first time for moving April 24. This looks as if the last day Jack and I are going to be together. He is being drafted to Saben Pass Texas and I am going to Hitchcock Texas air base. We packed our gear and left New Orleans naval station at 8: 30. We rode the train all night and got in Houston Texas June 11. I unloaded bombs weighing 325 lbs almost all day long. I then cleaned up and went on Liberty. I sure was tired and didnt feel like doing much. Met several nice gals and sure had a good time June 21. While this diary does not contain the action that a frontline WWII diary might the detail with which Charles describes his experience leaving nothing out from the moment he is inducted into the army through his graduation from training and trip to his first naval base makes it a true treasure. This diary would be of interest to anyone interested in World War Two from the perspective of the young recruit or the lived experience of a young small town man coming-of-age in the army. This diary measures approximately 6x4.5 inches. 53 pages are filled with long newsy legible diary entries an additional 5 pages have names and addresses of the authors pals and approximately 4 other pages in the diary have been filled in. The diary is hardcover and in good condition with only typical signs of age and wear typical of a diary of its age. Included with the diary are a number of Rodocks photos ephemera and a personal bible gifted to Rodock and inscribed by his reverend. These accompanying pieces add colour to Rodocks story.
