LT BARLOW [?]
1948 - 1949 SUPERB ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY DETAILING LIFE IN OCCUPIED JAPAN HANDWRITTEN BY A KEEN EYED ERUDITE WAC LIEUTENANT
OCCUPIED JAPAN TOKYO. Good. 1948. On offer is a super original 1948 - 1949 manuscript diary handwritten by an unidentified WAC Women's Army Corps while she was stationed in Occupied Japan. The book proper is from 1945 has an ownership name stamped in gilt: James E. Barlow perhaps a father or brother It appears she was a lieutenant in the Civil Intelligence Service but was not happy with her job as a pool typist. She had been promised a different position and tried several times to be transferred but that proved to be very difficult. Eventually she worked in the Motion Picture Division. The writer begins her service with travel on Oct 15 1948 on the North Coast Limited to Seattle. After several days of rail travel and a stay in Seattle the author left for Tokyo on Oct 26 aboard the General M. M. Patrick. She proves to be an excellent diarist making detailed descriptions of the people she met her surroundings and intimate thoughts of post War Japan and the effort to rebuild its society. She has many unique insights into the effort given she was an officer in the typing pool but hobnobbing with high society. This is true throughout the journal. Her ocean voyage was not pleasant she was seasick and described the terrible storm they encountered and the pitching of the ship which at times was dangerous. Here are some snippets: Oct 20 the talk of the train was a drunk who seemed almost crazy "alcoholic psycho" an ex-army nurse & bride said - & she once worked in Norwich Conn Hospital with the insane. I ignored him so he told me I was horrible - He'd asked "Lemme talk to you wouldn't you like to haf me talk to you". The dining room steward threatened to put him off the train & would have done it he was so loud and incoherent & a pest - but he took reprimands so politely and apologetically & no one of the passengers would complain that they didn't do it. Even the Lt Col who had been his drinking buddy tried & tried to shush him. Oct 28 When I tried to go down the hall to bathe later the man across the hall from me sat on the bed nearly naked beer bottles around. I got Kathy to watch me in - luckily cause he tried to get friendly. Later knocked on my door and telephoned too. Glad he checked out very early. Nov 4 R.K. in our stateroom is the overbearing type of N Yawk - - - - with a greatly exaggerated opinion of herself. And she has a sweater with Hubba-Hubba above and below each breast and across the back. Nov 11 I didn't meet Helen Gibson's Major Kelly. The last I saw of the "leech" from Boston she was snuggled up pressed against one of the army officers on our ship and twisting a button on his chest & rolling her "bedroom" eyes at him as Lana calls them - oh yes she had on her sexy shoes of course. I wonder where she'll wind up and how." The author is involved with a man named Bob who was also in the army and stationed in Japan. They seem to be social with fairly high ranking officers and Japanese private citizens of some standing often visiting their homes. They shop quite a bit in the Japanese markets comparing prices to those in the PX. They seemed to be interested in purchasing items for their value rather than souvenirs. She wrote about the army and much of what she had to say was not very complimentary - the red tape inefficiency bad verdict in an army trial pay reduction etc. On one occasion she saw General MacArthur: Nov 18 "On my way back I saw a crowd gathered to watch MacArthur leave the Dai Ielia Bldg - it was another half hour before he came out but it was fun. All over quickly and away he went in a big black limousine - a few MPs clicking heels and Jap guards keeping crowd back and Jap street sweepers getting leaves and dirt swept up in time. As a man beside me said the "ceremony" is very important here and is less than any other country would do in similar circumstances. Yet it was "God descending from heaven and riding off in his chariot"" The author made every effort to explore Japan whenever she had the chance. For some reason she wanted very badly to pat Hirohito's white horse and she finally managed to do so. She often mentions the damage from the bombing and her descriptions are filled with the Japanese culture and customs she observed. Her detailed entries are sometimes so long it is difficult to transcribe one here. This is an abbreviated entry of her comments on the handling of Japanese sewage. A bit gross and not what you'd find in a travel guide: Dec 10 "Sometime I'll have to get on the subject of honey buckets - they're just unavoidable in Japan - wooden and luckily covered they are carted in most anything but usually a low flat affair drawn by a horse or bullock - maybe 10 or 15 to a cart. The man walks along outside - he "cheats" if he rides as it's against the law.there's always a stream of them along the main thoroughfare. At the ends of small side streets are frequently a cluster of honey buckets probably set out as we would set out our garbage to be collected.of course we have modern plumbing such as it is but probably most of Japan doesn't and this is the sewage system except when men and children use the sidewalk or open sewers.often there's not much odor but sometimes the stench is horrible.and the farmer carries a bucket plus a long pole with a dipper on the end of it and he ladles out the contents in his garden.we saw a woman with a honey bucket taking out the contents by hand and scattering it in a garden - we think and hope it was earth she was dealing with that way." The author wrote about her voyage to Japan and the first few months after her arrival. After that the entries become more sporadic with long gaps between entries. She seemed to write when she had the urge after a special sight seeing trip event social gathering or when she just wanted to vent or put her opinion on a subject down on paper. All of it is very interesting and the author presents an insightful and personal look at post-war Japan and the army occupation. There are about 123 handwritten pages altogether. The book measures 7" x 4" and is overall VG. ; Manuscript; 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF OCCUPIED JAPAN WAC CIVIL INTELLIGENCE SERVICE MOTION PICTURE DIVISION WWII WW2 WAR IN THE PACIFIC GENERAL MACARTHUR WOMEN'S ARMY CORPS POST WORLD WAR II EFFORT TO REBUILD JAPAN PACIFIC THEATRE WOMEN IN WAR WOMEN'S STUDIES GENDER STUDIES JAMES E.

1945 SUPER ORIGINAL SIGNIFICANT PAIR 2 OF MANUSCRIPT DIARIES HANDWRITTEN BY A DOGGED AND DETERMINED FORT WAYNE INDIANA NAVAL LIEUTENANT WHO WILL GO ON TO FAME AND RENOWN BUT NOT UNTIL HE SURVIVES IWO JIMA AND OKINAWA
SOUTH PACIFIC PHILIPPINES JAPAN. Good. 1945. On offer is a rare first-hand record of a naval officer's presence at two significant WWII battles. Labelled "War Diary I and II these volumes are official United States Navy War Diaries from WWII. They are in excellent condition. They each measure 8 inches by 5 inches and contain 196 pages. The covers bindings and pages are all in good condition. The first diary is 100% complete and the second diary is about 11% complete. They also contain wartime Japanese currency and other ephemera. A war diary is a regularly updated official record kept by military units of their activities during wartime. The purpose of these diaries is to both record information which can later be used by the military to improve its training and tactics as well as to generate a detailed record of units' activities for future use by historians. The author of the diaries is Byron F Doenges. Doenges was born in 1922 in Fort Wayne IN. In WWII he enlisted in the U.S. Navy and was commissioned as a Lieutenant in the US Navy Reserve. He was assigned to USS LST 1033. Landing Ship Tank LST or tank landing ship were ocean-going ships built during World War II to support amphibious operations by carrying tanks vehicles cargo and landing troops directly onto shore. LST-1033 was assigned to the Asiatic-Pacific theatre and participated in the assault and occupation of Iwo Jima in February 1945 and the assault and occupation of Okinawa from April through June 1945. Following the war she performed occupation duty in the Far East and saw service in China until mid-July. She was re-designated LSTH-1033 on 15 September 1945. The ship was decommissioned on 1 August 1946 and struck from the Navy list on 28 August that same year. LST- 1033 earned two battle stars for World War II service. After his war service Doenges remained in the USNR rising to the rank of Lt Commander before retiring in 1946. Following his war service he earned an MBA and a PhD. He taught and worked in several universities before entering public service in 1965. He served as economic adviser to the Governor of Oregon before moving to Washington to join the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. He served in the agency as Deputy Assistant Director chief of economics and special studies division and finally as senior economic adviser. Doenges passed away in 2006 at the age of 83. His War Diaries documents the ship's journey and participation in the assault on Iwo Jima and Okinawa. And damage assessment of Nagasaki after the atomic bomb had been dropped the repatriation of Japanese soldiers and the transport of Chinese Nationalist troops. The diaries end with his orders to return to the United States. At 0837 underway from Pearl Harbor Hawaii to Eniwetok Marshall Islands operating in Task Unit S1.42.2 via Route Mary. 1300 formed sixty ship convoy with Commander Phil Neikum riding DD LITTLE in command. This ship is in third column from right second ship in column.

Casualties close to come aboard after sundown; during daylight hours however when boats can get into beach many casualties were transported to ship. During the night of the 20th approximately ninety Marines remained on tank deck because no boats available or because the APA's would not take them. This is a sad condition because this ship does not have the real hospital facilities an APA has and hence many wounds may have been infected due to delay. The terrific fighting and heavy casualties were in evidence continually. Fleet units and carrier-based aircraft continued to bombard island. 1555 and 1907 enemy aircraft reported in vicinity however none were visible. Feb 20 1945 Anchored as before in Kerawa- Kaikyo Kerawa Retto Okinawa Gunto. 0310 Flash Red alert yellow; heavy enemy air attacks reported at Okinawa Shiwa. 0312 to 0635 exercised at general quarters.

All ships in vicinity opened fire. At 1640 all hands were seen abandoning the 447. Also at 1640 tea more enemy fighters approached port beam from west side of Fukashi Shima. Again all batteries opened up on attackers one suiciding into SS Logon Victory an ammunition ship and the other demolished by five inch shell hit before it accomplished its mission of diving into another ship. Two friendly F4F's took off the Tulagi CVE 72 at 1645 one was shot down apparently dumping on the other side of the island.1715 first survivors and casualties arrived from LST 447 and the SS Logan Victory; this ships small boat aiding in the rescue work. April 6 1945 Anchored as before. During the mourning ship's officers and army officers aboard went ashore to inspect the Atomic bomb damage at Nagasaki. American troops in force have not yet landed in their area. Got underway for Sasebo Kyushu Japan at 1308 in accordance with CTG 55.7 dispatch dated 200150. . Sept 20 1945 The first of March found LST 1033 skirting the coast of China enroute from Hong Kong to Chaingtao with a load of 832 Chinese troops of the new 1st Nationalist army ship arrived in Chanigtao on March 6 and unloaded immediately. Trip was uneventful. Communist and Nationalist troops were fighting a pitched battle a few miles away while unloading was taking place. Learned that the Chinese first army was completely American equipped however the troops on the whole were very unsanitary. .March 1 1946 . The ship sailed to Shanghai in company with LST's 1046 935 and 96. On 7 March and arrived at the Chinese metropolis on 10 March. However ship did not get into Whangpoo anchorage until 13 March on 15 March ship was notified that she was to load up with 2000 tons of UNRRA food supplies and sail for Hawkow. 1000 miles into the interior to deliver food to starving Chinese.The 1033 was the first LST ever ordered to make a run up the Yangtze River. March 1 to Mar 31 1946 The ephemera includes a 50 Japanese Sen banknote 0.50 Yen. They are part of the withdrawn Japanese Yen banknotes series. The Bank of Japan started issuing these 0.5 Japanese Yen banknotes in 1938. They were withdrawn from circulation in 1945. Also included is a copy of the discharge request on an officer aboard LST 1033 and a draft of Doenges own request for release. This is a thoroughly outstanding documentary record of an American ship and officer in the chaotic last months of WWII and the early days of the Chinese revolution. For a historian is serves multiple purposes. It documents the activities of this ship; it cross-references the names and locations of other ships and officers assisting in filling in the historical record and it speaks to the reach and range of the U.S. Navy and the foreign policy behind its actions. It is truly an eyewitness to history. ; Manuscript; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF BYRON F.

LT CLAUDIUS BELK
1945 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT WORLD WAR II DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY A LOUISVILLE KENTUCKY USAF LIEUTENANT PASSING THE LAST FEW MONTHS OF THE WAR ON EMERGENCY LEAVE BUT STILL ACTIVE IN THE WAR THROUGH HIS WRITINGS
CAMDEN LOUISVILLE KENTUCKY KY. Good. 1945. On offer is a very interesting end of World War II service manuscript diary handwritten by Lt. Claudius E. Belk 1st Lt. USAF. Unnamed in the book his ownership was confirmed from ephemeral items once associated with the diary. The largish 9 x 6 inch page a day book does not have any entries until July 15th 1945 but after that the book is well filled save for another handful of days. Lt. Belk lives in the Camden part of Louisville Kentucky fills nearly every page he writes on with the details of his life after his service. His first entry on a Sunday seems to confirm when he says upon arriving at church 'Everyone was very friendly to me'. Belk is on an extended emergency leave from the service but very dedicated to the war effort and he writes what is on the one hand a super home front diary and but also a very detailed history of international events. He writes daily reports on the international war situation which seem to be a coalescing of what he reads in the papers but also scuttlebutt from his friends in the Service. He writes of the progress of America and her allies the War in Japan and the rest of the Pacific and the international political situation. Entries make note of or meeting with: a boat trip to 6 Mile Island on the gasoline cruiser 'Miss Jakes' Bowman Field riding in a B-13 flying a B-47 Truman and Stalin entries seeing the launch of the USS Corry chilling entries regarding the final months of the war in Japan and the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki meeting Col. Monroe Johnson and then the curious entries such as: 'the whiskey situation is critical here in Camden' with a few more alcohol related entries showing a fascination or importance to the man.

LT CMDR ROBERT CARR, MD
1943 - 1944 ORIGINAL ARCHIVE OF MANUSCRIPT DIARIES 2 PHOTOGRAPHS AND EPHEMERA OF A SENIOR MEDICAL OFFICER WHO SADLY OBSERVES AND DETAILS HIS OFTEN GRUESOME DUTIES IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC THEATRE
SOUTH PACIFIC PHILIPPINES ABOARD THE USS SANGAMON. Good. 1943. On offer is a sensational group of World War II relics including original manuscript diaries 2 maps photographs and related ephemera handwritten and compiled by Lieutenant Commander Robert Manning Carr a senior medical officer on the USS Sangamon from September 1943 until November 10 1944. Casual research finds Carr was a native of Junction City Kansas and a graduate of Northwestern University in Chicago. The Sangamon was an escort carrier providing fuel and planes for support of the fleet and men on the ground. The ship took part in many battles including Marshall Islands Guam The Philippine Sea and The Battle for Leyte Gulf. The first diary begins September 17th 1943 and ends June 29th 1944 while the second diary begins June 30th 1944 and ends on November 10th 1944. There are nearly daily entries. The doctor deals with common things influenza appendicitis and then of course the more gruesome occurrences war. Many of the injuries the soldiers survived were terrible burns from the aircraft fuel either from accidents on the flight deck one famous one that the doctor actually saw from the air as he was flying with one of the other pilots or from Japanese Suicide bombers. His angst at treating these soldiers is evident throughout. He also talks of burials at sea and the capture of the first Japanese pilot who tried to fly into their ship he was treated and then sent to the brig even though the doctor thought he should stay in sick bay. Historians and researchers and collectors of the American war effort in the Pacific will have a treasure trove of his keen personal observations as the doctor describes many of the famous battles the Sangamon and her crew took part in. The diaries are crammed full and the included ephemera such as copies of telegraphs from the high command congratulating the crew on a job well done and a good number 25 8" by 10" glossy photographs taken of the destroyed cities ports and villages after the occupation. A few of them are also quite gruesome which all add depth and breadth to the narrative. The journals end abruptly on Nov 10 1944. The USS Sangamon was eventually hit by a Kamikaze and badly damaged. It was being repaired when the war in the Pacific ended. The ship was sold and eventually scrapped. In all this is a very intimate look at life on an active ship during wartime from the key vantage point and perspective of a senior medical officer. Unnumbered but almost 150 pages in all.

LT COL H MITCHELL
1845 - 1855 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY A BRITISH OFFICER AND VICTORIAN GENTLEMAN SETTLING DOWN TO RETIREMENT IN LONDON AND NOT WITHOUT INTRIGUE
London England. Good. 1845. On offer is a sensational original manuscript relic of Victorian times being the 1845 - 1855 handwritten diary and journal of a British officer as he settles in to retirement in London something he has wished for and who details his life and times with family and friends in great detail. Lt. Col H. Mitchell as stated on a front cover sticker 'Diary of Lt. Col. H. Mitchell 1845-1855' appears to be an old India hand keeping up with the gossip writing letters to Government meeting boats with friends and acquaintances returning from India. This intelligent and observant man a Senior Officer with a hint of the rogue allows the reader to see the elements of his life: family politics friends relations all the while there is a back drop of tensions; from the first pages about finances gone wrong especially with the Bank of Australia and how the impact of world politics would also affect his pocket book and also his seemingly unending interest in India. He also copies some verse and there is a most interesting letter copy to the Earl of Ripond regarding India. Here are some snippets: "Jan 1846 How little I have written in 1845! It has not been a fertile year of events it is true beyond the birth of our daughter. The one we are entering upon with I fear be more eventful for it can hardly fail deeply to affect my money affairs either for good or for ill. I find
my incomes amount to 1200 pounds; were misfortunes to befall them I may be reduced to 500 pounds! Were the bank of Australia to recover its prosperity
.and should we be forced into a war with America and it seems difficult to see how the Oregon question can be settled without war so overbearing are the pretensions and the conduct of the Americans my income may be reduced to less than 500 pounds without the house!" He notes in one of the last entries how the Queen saw fit to raise his rank to Colonel and while mostly ceremonial he was quite pleased.

Wieczorek while attending the "School of the Line" at Ft. Leavenworth Kansas from September of 1921 to June of 1922.

HISTORICAL NOTES: School of the Line: "The experience of World War I greatly influenced the Officer education system established in the United States in the postwar period. The school system was re-established in 1919 to address many of the specific problems which emerged during the war. Foremost among these problems were handling large armies in the field and preparing the nation for war. The School of the Line and the General Staff School at Ft. Leavenworth prepared officers to staff and command large units. The Army War College re-emerged in 1919 as the General Staff College in Washington D.C. This institution was to prepare officers for duty with the General Staff of the Army. At the core of this program was the single problem of preparing the army for war. In 1919 this meant mobilization and war plans. At Ft. Leavenworth officers of appropriate rank attended the School of the Line. This course devoted one year to the study of brigade and division operations. Selected officers then went on to the General Staff School also of one-year duration. In the second year students focused on corps and armies. Beginning in 1922 the General Staff School added the study of army groups to its program of instruction. The scope of these studies was impressive. In 1922 a course in strategy was included but by far the bulk of program was devoted to the operations of large units."; Folio - over 12" - 15" tall; KEYWORDS: GENERAL STAFF SCHOOL LT.

LT F J DAVIES
1885 and 1891 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY OF BRITISH COLONIAL EXPEDITIONS AND WARFARE FOLLOWING THE LOSS OF KHARTOUM AND GENERAL GORDON IN THE SUDAN AND THEN LATER IN LAGOS NIGERIA
SUAKIM SUDAN LAGOS NIGERIA AFRICA. Good. 1885. On offer is a superb significant manuscript relic of British military campaigns and expeditions to Africa in the latter half of the 19th Century at Suakim of the Sudan in 1885 and Lagos Nigeria in 1891 being an original diary of the two expeditions handwritten by Lieut. F. J. Davies a member of the distinguished military family based at Elmley Castle Worcestershire and attached to the Grenadier Guards the most elevated being Lt. General Henry Fanshawe Davies most likely F J Davies' father. Davies does a super job relating his life as an officer writing entries some brief others more detailed from the mundane: a cricket match deck football a dance and comments on places en route to Suakim and Lagos to the historically significant eyewitness accounts of Victorian warfare interspersed with lighter moments; descriptions of military engagements and observations on people places and politics with some of the comments being typical of the times but not politically correct today. The first section of the large approximately 9.5 x 8 inch album is related to Suakim the second British expedition following the fall of Khartoum in 1884. The Battle of Hasheen is described in some detail. Davies wrote the account in a different book of over 100 sheets oddly hand numbered starting at page 55 then single digits then through 229 obviously he did not transfer each page he wrote in the earlier book then a newsclipping and photo having been cut and transferred and then glued into this album and it includes a group photograph 200 x 150 mm showing the officers on the expedition. Davies has identified all in pencil below the photo. The Suakim diary dates from February 18th to June 4th and begins when they left England on the SS Australia. Here are some snippets: SUAKIM: Feb 19th "
marched up to the Quadrangle at Windsor Castle
Her Majesty appeared at a window and was received with a Royal salute
we marched back to the barracks. The Eton fellows cheered us like anything." Feb 27th "African coast in sight
played cricket on deck
everybody has left off wearing great coats
most of us wear our blue patrol jackets
football on quarter deck in the afternoon." March 18th "There are rumours we shall go home as soon as Osman Digina is beaten leaving the line regiment to finish the work and cover the railway." March 20th A ten page account of fighting at Hasheen together with a sketch plan. Detailed timings and numbers of casualties. March 29th arrival of SS Iberia with troops from N.S. Wales. "Heard that govt were arming ocean steamers as armed cruisers and that a large number of ships were being commissioned for service in the Baltic." After Suakim and a few blank pages in the album the expedition to Lagos in 1891 begins. This expedition was motivated by action by the Ijeba tribe who were cutting off the residents of the Lagos district from up-country supplies of goods. Lagos had been a British Crown Colony since 1886. The diary runs to about 75 pages and covers the period March 26th to June 28th. The ship used was the British and African Co. SS Cameron. The pages in this sections are somewhat browned around the edges a different paste clearly being used from the Suakim sheets. Here are some snippets: LAGOS: 13th April Sierra Leone "The inhabitants comprise every possible species
in every possible costume from a state of nature to a black coat and top hat." The officer of Frontier Police tells Davies of a skirmish. Their opponents "did not belong to any particular tribe but were a collection of bad characters and runaway slaves." "We took in 20 Kroo boys to work the ship - their dress is often very funny - the usually have a stiff billycock hat with heir name written on." 20th April arrival in Lagos. "Seems a healthy place
No official has died here in the last four years." Davies is given charge of a company of Lagos Housas about 40 men. May 16th Preparations for battle - details of force listed. Details of advance terrain and fighting give. The military activity and its aftermath last for about 10 days and are covered in some detail. Accounts of looters being flogged. "I found Col. Scott standing in the courtyard with the 3 Ibadan chiefs lying flat on their stomachs in front of him
if the chiefs' men did not give in their arms at once the chiefs would be hung." Contained in an album 240 x 200 x 40 mm the entries are written on sheets about 185 x 100 mm taken from a perforated notebook and pasted onto the thicker pages of the album. The album itself is sound though with varying degrees of wear to edges and corners.

LT SIGNALMAN ALEXANDER MCGILL
1914 - 1919 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY A ROYAL NAVY VOLUNTEER RESERVE RNVR SIGNALMAN DEDICATED TO HIS NEWBORN DAUGHTER WHO WOULD ONE DAY SOON ENOUGH CHERISH HER FATHER'S BRILLIANT INTIMATE RETELLING OF HIS NAVAL SERVICE AGAINST GERMANY
RMS TEUTONIC RMS CEDRIC RMS ORVIETO NORTH SEA. Good. 1914. On offer is a superb original manuscript relic of Britain's World War I efforts against the German Navy mostly in the Northern Patrol and North Sea areas. The large folio Signalman's book used as a diary was handwritten by Lieutenant Signalman Alexander McGill of the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve RNVR. This super work provides historians and researchers of the Royal Navy during WWI a unique perspective with a truly intimate finely detailed account of one man's service from December 8th 1914 through to January 27th 1919 on some very significant ships to the war effort. What raises this narrative from a simple diary of events is that McGill was communicating to his newly born daughter of his newly consecrated marriage. He married Agnes Beatrice Shaw on shore leave in February 1915 and they had a daughter called Edna D. McGill born March 1916. The book begins with a charming dedication to 'Miss Edna McGill' from 'Daddy Signalman' and there is little doubt in reading that his purpose was to describe with the utmost clarity his life and service likely with the thought that he might not survive the War. We do note that ironically he survived the War but died a decade later. Adding even more depth to this remarkable work are several hand drawn illustrations and maps detailing actions and positions at significant events like the Battle of Jutland. Here are some snippets: Upon arrival at the Cedric 8th Dec he says: 'It was a shame to see all her fancy woodwork inside being scrapped just leaving the shipside cabins and a few amidships'; he lists the structure of the company on board and names the officers he also lists the daily routine hour by hour throughout the diary there's a lot of stuff about the patrols who they board and who gets escorted under armed guards to Kirkwall. Target practices fun games and entertainment moments of action and possible action. 'We boarded an American steamer.and sent her to Kirkwall. Her crew Yankees were very glad we had captured them as they were feared of the mines in the North Sea. This ship was let go by the Govt but did bump a mine and sunk'; 'Two of our ships were completely lost in the late storm. HMS Clan McNaughton and Viknor. All hands lost about 400 each also 12 officers and 120 men German reservists being taken in on the Viknor. No word or anything to show what happened in either case'; 'I have some good fun in spare time now quite a clique of us get together and play a foo-foo band etc. some band cardboard instruments ha ha ha in fact if you could have suddenly seen us you would think you were amongst a lot of loonies'; 'We left Mersey at midnight.I felt very sad leaving this time after getting married to your darling mother 21st February being the fateful day'; 'We passed one of our dummy battleships i.e. a merchant ship made up to look like the Dreadnought King George V have wooden guns etc. she did look like the K.G.V. until very close indeed'; 'Intercepted a message saying 'Bravo well done Teutonic' we believe she has captured a big prize off the Norway coast a German merchant ship'; 'Quite a lot of strong language being used freely over Lusitania having been torpedoed'; 'Report from HMS India that a torpedo just missed her. It looks as if a submarine attack is being made upon on this patrol.Orotava sighted submarine but she too far off. Things are very warm just now eh!' Re-coaling takes place at Busta Voe Shetland and he draws and describes the chain gate with anti-sub nets blocking the entrance to the bay. There is also regular mention throughout the diary of how quickly they can shift the coal onto the ship quoting tonnage and time taken. 'We left Liverpool 9th dec 1915 on way out passed largest ship afloat 'Britannic' on her maiden trip. She is a hospital ship and looked fine with yellow funnels and grey sides with large red crosses'. 20th January 1916 the crew leave the Cedric northern patrol - patrol A and continue on northern patrol patrol B on the Teutonic. 'I witnessed a bitter fight between two seamen on the mess both stripped a bit unequal but after a severe mauling the smaller man put his man to sleep'; 'Search being made for a seaman. No trace of him so he must have committed suicide. He was very despondent during trip. His newly married wife been false while he has been away so much so as to give him the disease from which he was suffering when he went over the side'. 'Heard that a Cunard Steamer Thracia had been sunk off the Isle of Man'. 'The ships firemen mercantile marine reserve men refused to work citing they wanted merchant steamer food and not navy rations. The Admiral of the Port Steinman was called and he brought 50 armed guards with him. He called each man out and asked if he would do his duty or not. 8 refused and were marched off the ship to face a court martial. It was held on HMS Victorious 2 weeks later. Mcgill lists all attending and states: 'The court martial lasted 35 minutes sentence of 2 years each in detention Gaol Devonport. Admiral Tupper came on board a few days after and gave them a speech on about not grumbling too much and doing their duty.' 'Our wireless staff busy news of a German raider disguised as an English steamer trying to get through also a few submarines operating round the Shetlands. We being in charge have altered all patrols to 60 miles further west.' Mcgill lists the names of boats and ships intercepted in patrol and all the ships in the northern patrol including tonnage guns and max knots. Many officers are also named. 'Another of our armed guards reports having met a submarine but they hid below while commander of sub asked the Capt of ship where he was bound etc then she pushed off. The sub was the one that has been operating on American coast and must have been on her way home'. December 1916 they leave the Teutonic for a six month refit and after barracks time they join the Orvieto in February 1917: 'I have had an eye witness of big naval action called the Jutland fight sent to me by an old shipmate. Here goes copy. 31st May 1916 HMS Faulkner' and then there are four pages of details of the battle word for word from his witness friend. Towards the end he states: 'our estimation of enemy losses. 6 battleships 2 battle cruisers 2 submarines 15 to 20 destroyers 2 zeppelins 6 light cruisers'. 'Wireless people intercepted RMS Celtic wiring Liverpool. She had bumped a mine. She was about 2hrs astern of us so we were lucky not to have done this'. 'About 11:45am all crew except watch were at dinner when masthead lookout sighted periscope of submarine. It disappeared immediately and all the starboard lookouts sighted torpedo coming at us.navigating officer was navigating the ship.torpedo passed about 20yds astern and broke the surface 500yds on port side'. 'A submarine was sighted about 12 miles ahead so we altered course.a gun began to speak and action bells started ringing. Scrambling up to my station on bridge an explosion took place not far off on our port bow. Debris and oil filled the water etc a cease fire was sounded. I learnt we had sunk a submarine. 4 shots fired altogether. 2nd hit and explosion occurred with 3rd and 4th shots lyddite shells. We cruised round full speed but nothing to save etc. the crew must have been blown to smithereens.a warm place here for the subs'. 'After discovering that my old firm were rather reluctant to take me back except at starvation wage I got the offer for a position at another firm if I could get immediate release.ship was leaving for Belfast refit in the morning.all went well until the absence of the Surgeon who has to pass me A1 delayed proceedings until the morning.to Birkenhead to get the surgeon agent to witness my medical sheet. Returned to ship.eventually was fully demobilized and got ashore with my bag 1/4hr before the ship sailed near thing'.

Patriziato cheraschese
ill. Quest'opera raccoglie gli stemmi di 210 famiglie della Città di Cherasco, con la rappresentazione grafica, la descrizione del blasone e centinaia di immagini che testimoniano la presenza e la vita sociale delle famiglie, risultato di un accurato lavoro di ricerca. Correva l'anno 1243 quando un gruppo di feudatari decise di unirsi in alleanza e fondare una città nuova, Cherasco, per difendersi meglio dagli attacchi dei nemici. Portarono con loro il proprio popolo minuto, cui si aggiunsero da subito liberi cittadini, mercanti, medici, speziali ed anche cavalieri cadetti di grandi famiglie, tutti in cerca di maggior fortuna. Costoro portarono con sé i propri antichi stemmi, o ne ottennero di nuovi a rappresentare in perpetuo la fortuna della famiglia e la sua distinzione cittadina. Queste famiglie, vecchie e nuove, costituirono per secoli l'ossatura politica, sociale ed economica della città di Cherasco.
