‎Albert Chambonnet (1903-1944) - Faire face‎

‎Villefranche-sur-Saône, Editions du Poutan, 2024, 16,5 x 23, 290 pages sous couverture souple illustrée. Iconographie noir & blanc et couleurs. "Lyon, 27 juillet 1944, les Allemands extraient cinq résistants de la prison de Montluc. En représailles d'un attentat perpétré la veille contre un restaurant de Bellecour fréquenté par les occupants et leurs supplétifs français, les prisonniers sont exécutés devant les passants et leurs corps … Lyon, 27 juillet 1944, les Allemands extraient cinq résistants de la prison de Montluc. En représailles d'un attentat perpétré la veille contre un restaurant de Bellecour fréquenté par les occupants et leurs supplétifs français, les prisonniers sont exécutés devant les passants et leurs corps laissés au sol pour l'exemple. Parmi eux Albert Chambonnet, "Didier" dans la Résistance, militaire de carrière, chef des forces Françaises de l'intérieur pour toute la région Rhône-Alpes avant son arrestation. Le veilleur de pierre, édifié place Bellecour en 1948, rend hommage à ces cinq hommes. Le colonel Chambonnet est honoré à Cerdon au cimetière du Val d'Enfer où il est inhumé avec ses compagnons de lutte des maquis de l'Ain et du Haut-Jura. L'Armée de l'Air, son corps d'origine, a donné son nom à la Base aérienne 278 d'Ambérieu-en-Bugey. Son souvenir, celui de son engagement et de son sacrifice demeurent donc, mais sa vie nous était pratiquement inconnue jusqu alors. Olivier Le Gouic et Alain Ravoyard ont comblé cette lacune, nous permettant de découvrir le parcours édifiant et passionnant de ce fils de mineur de Bessèges dans le Gard qui rejoint l'aviation militaire dès ses dix-huit ans. Sous-officier mécanicien, puis instructeur avant d'être affecté à la 6e escadrille engagée lors de la Grande Révolte syrienne. La fondation d'une famille, les idées politiques, "l'accès à l'épaulette". Enfin la guerre, la Résistance dès 1942, le grand organisateur qui se révèle dans la mouvance de Jean Moulin, l'accès aux plus hautes fonctions, sa tête mise à prix par les Allemands... La trace profonde qu'il a laissé. Ce travail d'historien, très bien documenté et illustré, s'adresse au public le plus large. Son ambition ultime est que la mémoire de " Didier" puisse être une source d'inspiration pour nous tous et particulièrement pour les jeunes générations."‎

‎[Charles H Lawrence][World War II] [Battle of the Bulge]‎

‎1942-1945 World War II Archive of Private Charles H. Lawrence. Killed During the Battle of the Bulge January 20th 1945‎

‎America Europe 1945. Archive. Very good. Manuscript Archive. 2 three ring black binders with 41 letters and misc. ephemera. Letters were addressed to family and in Chester Vermont mainly to his brother Ray and his Aunt Florence. The letters are sorted into three phases: prewar U.S. training camps and from places in Europe. 2 letters were written by Private Lawrence before he enlisted in the Army circa 1942. <br /> <br /> 20 letters were written from training camps in the United States 1943-44. 12 letters were written by Lawrence somewhere in France Belgium and Germany from June 1944 to January 1945. The remaining 7 letters were written by family members before and after Private Lawrence was killed in action December 1944 - February 1945. These letters were returned to his family with the word "deceased" written or stamped on the envelopes. The archive also consists of 8 envelopes not matching the dated letters two change of address postcards 5 pieces of foreign money and misc. news clippings relating to the Allied Forces actions late in the War. One non-letter item included in the archive is a hand drawn December 25th 1944 Christmas greeting presumably drawn by Lawrence. In these letters Charles Lawrence is often homesick inquires about things in Vermont and how he is getting along in the Army. Many of his letters begin with a variation of "I am still in the land of the living." The handwriting is legible for the most part and the condition of the archive is very good. The first ring binder of letters encompasses Private Charles Lawrence's pre War draft and his training in various U.S. camps. Training camp letters were written on nice Army letterhead paper from places such as Fort Devin Massachusetts; Fort McClellan Alabama and the U.S. Naval Construction Training Center Camp Peary Williamsburg Virginia. While training in the States Private Lawrence yearned to return home before he was shipped off to Europe. "If I get back to the States after I leave you can bet I wont stay in this army if I can help it." <br /> <br /> The second ring binder of letters begins with a letter dated June 1 1944 from some unknown location. The letters from Europe are censored and some letters were sent by V-Mail. While in Europe Charles asks about events back home and provides some general not to specific training and battle information. In the second letter in this binder dated June 9th Private Lawrence writes "Dear Aunt Florence and All: How are you folks feeling today hope you are feeling fine and dandy. Well here I am in a new camp and I am sorry to say that I cannot tell you where I am or the name of the camp. The camp is very good good climate food and it has lot of mountains around it." He adds "We do not get any training at this camp because they don't want anyone to know how many troops we have here at this camp but we have to go on two 11 miles hike every week." <br /> <br /> The letter dated June 11th one week after D-Day June 4 1944 has Lawrence awaiting transport to occupied France. He writes "This is my 40th letter since I came back from my furlough.The P.X. here is open all day and every time there isn't anything to do we all head for it most of us are broke including me."<br /> <br /> As the War heats up after June one comment in Lawrence's letters stands out:<br /> <br /> "I have been lying in a fox hole for two weeks now the only time when we can get up and walk around is at night it gets kinda tired laying in the fox holes eating H rations you can't stick your head out of the hole in the day time because you will get your head blowed off if you do so we just lay there.Boy when I get home I wont fuss about anything so long as I live I have been through everything now and it isn't any fun either." <br /> <br /> As the battles in Europe intensified in the fall of 1944 it appears Private Lawrence had been in very dangerous situations. In his November 23 1944 letter he writes ".a lot has happened to me since I last wrote to you last I have been in a lot of tough spots tough enough to lose all of my personal belongings such as mail letters that I hadn't answered toilet articles my pack overcoat raincoat etc. I am going to write to Barb and see if she will buy me toilet articles. My stationary is all gone.Today is Thanksgiving and I hope you folks had a good meal I haven't seen any turkey for us yet."<br /> <br /> On December 21st 1944 Charles writes his brother Ray from "Somewhere in Germany". He tells his brother "I have been busy as ever for the last few days and it looks like I will be for quite some time." The last full letter in this archive written by Private Lawrence is dated January 4th 1945. He writes to Aunt Florence & all the gang. He tells Aunt Florence "Well here I am again I thought I would write you a letter as long as I have some extra time this isn't much for news this time because I wrote Glady's a little this morning and told her all the news that there was at hand but when this letter is finished you will at least know that I am still alive & kicking." He signs off this letter with this - "Got to go now but I will be back before to long hope everyone is okay.".<br /> <br /> Private Charles Lawrence died 16 days later in Europe on January 20 1945 at the age of nineteen. He was buried in the American Cemetery in Luxembourg.<br /> <br /> From wikipedia:<br /> <br /> The 5th Infantry Division Mechanized—nicknamed the "Red Diamond"1 the "Red Devils" or "die Roten Teufel"—was an infantry division of the United States Army that served in World War I World War II and the Vietnam War and with NATO and the U.S. Army III Corps. It was disbanded and deactivated on 24 November 1992.2<br /> <br /> During World War II after D-Day the 5th Infantry Division after two years of training landed in Normandy on Utah Beach 9 July 1944 over a month after the initial D-Day landings and four days later took up defensive positions in the vicinity of Caumont. Launching a successful attack at Vidouville 26 July the division drove on southeast of Saint-Lô attacked and captured Angers 9–10 August captured Chartres assisted by the 7th Armored Division 18 August9 pushed to Fontainebleau crossed the Seine at Montereau 24 August crossed the Marne and seized Reims 30 August and positions east of Verdun. The division then prepared for the assault on Metz 7 September.10 In mid-September a bridgehead was secured across the Moselle south of Metz at Dornot and Arnaville after two attempts. The first attempt at Dornot by the 11th Infantry Regiment failed. German-held Fort Driant played a role in repulsing this crossing. A second crossing by the 10th Infantry Regiment at Arnaville was successful.11 The division continued operations against Metz 16 September to 16 October 1944 withdrew then returned to the assault on 9 November. Metz finally fell 22 November. The division crossed the German border 4 December captured Lauterbach a suburb of Völklingen on the 5th and elements reached the west bank of the river Saar 6 December before the division moved to assembly areas.<br /> <br /> On 16 December the Germans launched their winter offensive in the Ardennes forest the Battle of the Bulge and on the 18th the 5th ID was thrown in against the southern flank of the Bulge helping to reduce it by the end of January 1945. In February and March the division drove across and northeast of the Sauer where it smashed through the Siegfried Line and later took part in the Allied invasion of Germany.<br /> <br /> The 2nd Infantry Regiment is an infantry regiment in the United States Army that has served for more than two hundred years. It was constituted on 12 April 1808 as the 6th Infantry and consolidated with 4 other regiments in 1815 to form the present unit.1. When the Battle of the Bulge began the 2nd Infantry Regiment moved to the battle zone in the area of Nideranven Luxembourg. In January 1945 the 2nd Infantry Regiment forced a crossing of the Sauer River and attacked into the Siegfried Line. The regiment then crossed the Rhine River near Oppenheim and secured the crossing for other Third Army units. The unit then spearheaded the attack into Czechoslovakia and was located near the town of Volary when the word came to cease all forward movement at 08:31 on 7 May 1945. unknown‎

Mueller on first leaf dated April 24 1937 from the library of David G. Kohl 1946-2025 former art teacher at the Hong Kong International School musician artist and historian. A remarkable photo album with images shot by three different Lutheran Church Missouri Synod LCMS missionaries in China along with the descriptive contents list compiled by Rev. R.J. Mueller detailing the purpose and composition. He writes that the Enshih Shihnan Mission had prepared three albums “one for the Mission Board one for the Building Committee of General Conference and one at the Enshih Station. The numbers all agree. However not all pictures listed appear in all books.†This “Building Committee†album was intended to focus primary on the structures homes chapels of the mission as well as surrounding areas and was intended to aid in speeding up communications for fundraising and building affairs issues as correspondents could then merely refer to the master list of numbers held by all three parties. Enshih China was one of the final mission stations established by the LCMS far from their other missions and when Gebhardt returned to Enshih following the Civil War in 1928 there was significant damage to the mission structures to be repaired. Looting by bandits and marauding soldiers had caused over $ 2000 in damage but was encouraged to find that the Lutheran evangelist Shen had continued the mission chapel school orphanage. He would later be joined by Mueller and others although primarily composed of Chinese Staff. These photos in the album includes views of Mueller’s residence windows frames and gutters looted; screens torn doors boarded up as well as views of the native house and threshing floor adapted into an orphanage at Yao Wan after 1930. Several others show the extent of the protective walls built around the properties farm houses the gates as well as farms bridges and nearby fields at Enshih. Landmarks such as rocks shaped like Elephants in the river and Big and Little Hog creek below farmland. A very nice series of photos depict the Ts’i Ts-ung-fu funeral the blind deaf and other orphans about 1931 as well as textiles drying in the sun. Other photos capture the Ch’i-li-ping market fortune teller temple noodle stand and the T’ai shan shrine at Ch’i-li-p’ing. More photos depict Hu Ping-chih the orphanage secretary Yuen Ye-chih cashier in 1934 Hsieh T’i-ya seminary student who died later in 1937; along with the mission pulpit nearby streets and the rear view of the Yao Wan houses.Of additional interest are the images of the rugged roads to Liang Shui-chin the temple and steep steps drying opium in Kuan-p’e which was a small town between the East Gate and Yao Wan before opium raising was banned in 1934; along with the nearby Ch’ing-Ching Clear River at the high water stage the front of the True Light Chapel in 1934 as well as the gravestone of Mr. & Mrs. Wang Japanese-Lutherans who had died in 1930. The final photo No. 169 again shows the Clear River below the city. Mueller 1905-1998 graduated from seminary in 1929 and left for China with his wife Dorothy for the Evangelical Lutheran Foreign Mission Board returned briefly to the U.S. from 1937-1940 spent 1939-1942 teaching at a Lutheran seminary in China while being bombed by the Japanese and also served in Shanghai where he would supervise the Lutheran Hour and Lutheran Hour offices. Although he and his wife briefly returned to the United States in 1946 following World War II they subsequently served again in Shanghai China into the early years of Communist rule by Mao tse-tung before returning again to the U.S. See: David Kohl Lutherans on the Yangtze: A Hundred Year History of the Missouri Synod in China 2014 pp. 103 124 131 132 166 174 99-131.

‎[Chisinau / Kishinev] Korn, Yitshak‎

‎KESHENEV: 200 YOR YIDISH LEBN IN DER HOYPTSHTOT FUN BESARABYE [KISHINEV]‎

‎1st Yiddish Edition. Original Publisher’s Cloth, 8vo, 416 pages. Includes illustrations and map. Includes Spanish Title page: “Judios de Kischeneff.” Translation of Yehude Kishinov, originally published in Hebrew. Vol III in the series, “Besaraber Yidn.” Includes bibliographical references (pages 412-416). “The name of Kishinev became known to the world at large as a result of two pogroms. The first, initiated and organized by the local and central authorities, took place during Easter on April 6–7, 1903….The pogrom was preceded by a poisonous anti-Jewish campaign led by P. Krushevan , director of the Bessarabian newspaper Bessarabets, who incited the population through a constant stream of vicious articles. One of the authors of the most virulent articles was the local police chief, Levendall. In such a heated atmosphere any incident could have dire consequences, and when the body of a Christian child was found, and a young Christian woman patient committed suicide in the Jewish hospital, the mob became violent. A blood libel , circulated by the Bessarabets, spread like wildfire. (It was later proved that the child was murdered by his relatives and that the suicide of the young woman was in no way connected with the Jews.) According to official statistics, 49 Jews lost their lives and more than 500 were injured, some of them seriously; 700 houses were looted and destroyed and 600 businesses and shops were looted. The material loss amounted to 2,500,000 gold rubles, and about 2,000 families were left homeless. Both Russians and Romanians joined in the riots. Russians were sent in from other towns and the students of the theological seminaries and the secondary schools and colleges played a leading role. The garrison of 5,000 soldiers stationed in the city, which could easily have held back the mob, took no action. Public outcry throughout the world was aroused by the incident and protest meetings were organized in London, Paris, and New York. A letter of protest written in the United States was handed over to President Theodore Roosevelt to be delivered to the czar, who refused to accept it. Under the pressure of public opinion, some of the perpetrators of the pogrom were brought to justice but they received very lenient sentences. L.N. Tolstoy expressed his sympathy for the victims, condemning the czarist authorities as responsible for the pogrom. The Russian writer Vladimir Korolenko described the pogrom in his story ‘House No. 13’ as did ?.N. Bialik in his poem ‘Be-Ir ha-Haregah’ (‘In the Town of Death’).On Oct. 19–20, 1905, riots broke out once more. They began as a protest demonstration by the ‘patriots’ against the czar's declaration of Aug. 19, 1905, and deteriorated into an attack on the Jewish quarter in which 19 Jews were killed, 56 were injured, and houses and shops were looted and destroyed: damages amounted to 300,000 rubles. On this occasion, some of the Jewish youth organized itself into self-defense units . The two pogroms had a profound effect on the Jews of Kishinev. Between 1902 and 1905 their numbers dropped from around 60,000 to 53,243, many immigrating to the United States and the Americas, while many more left after the second attack. The economic development of the town was brought to a standstill….On July 17, 1941, Kishinev was occupied by German and Romanian units, who entered it together with units of Einsatzgruppe D. The massacre of Kishinev's Jews began immediately under the auspices of the Einsatzgruppe, and by the time the concentration of Jews into a ghetto was completed, about 10,000 had been slaughtered. ....On Oct. 4, 1941, deportations began to Transnistria , the first group containing 1,600 persons. After this, between 700 and 1,000 Jews were deported daily, the last group leaving on October 31. ...In Transnistria Jews were sent to various camps and ghettos, where two-thirds of them died from epidemics, hunger, and exposure. The exact number of dead is not known, but taking into account the proportion of those killed in Bessarabia from the time of the Romanian and German conquest until the deportations to Transnistria on the one hand, and the number of those who died in Transnistria on the other, it may be estimated that of the 65,000 Jewish inhabitants in Kishinev in 1941, 53,000 perished” (JewishVirtualLibrary).

‎[Civil War] Confederacy] [N B Hamerick?] [Battle of Pocotaligo] [South Carolina]‎

Paper is in very good condition with light edge wear to a couple of spots. The following transcription is a best guess. The legibility of letter is difficult to transcribe and some words are omitted and other words spelled as they appear.<br /> <br /> Pocotaligo Feb 1 1862<br /> Mr E Ward Rock Island Tenn<br /> <br /> Dear Sir<br /> <br /> I find myself seated with yours of January 19th before me. I was very glad to hear from you I had wrote four letters to you and heard from you once in the time I dont think that you ought to quit writeing to us if I do belong to Jeff Davis traveling hog hay stealing 16th regiment I want you to write to me start your letter and I will get them for they will fallaw ten us and we will get them. I have had your letter for several days but I did not have the chance to answer it E We have to stand Pickett Cal Ful and Savages Regiments take it times a we go have and stand twelve days and then they stand twelve days. We have to go about twelve milds miles from the camps to stand. Darien is the Part Rail river and the yankees an on the Island of the same name I stand in sight of plenty of the damn yankees. We was yesterday and came to camps last night. We expect to have a fight hear with the yankees before long for there is plenty of yankees hear. You wanted to know about the fight that was hear on New Years day our regiment was not in it. We it for ten mild mile but it was over before we got thear. Wen we say our men we men mean the Dixaboys the yankees killed our men and we killed some of there and made them take again. We would nat have lost any men at all if our men had nat were two brave and run there up under the canans at the yankees and they Burned them and killed some men. I want you to write to me as soon as you get this gets to hand Tell Nancy that I am as fit as she ever saw me. E I get same good letter from my mama. This leaves me in good health. I remain yours till N.B. Hamrick. The Battle Mr. Hamerick referenced in this letter January 1st 1862 was probably part of the Union Army's Port Royal campaign. A battle took place along the Coosaw River near the Port Royal Ferry in Beaufort County South Carolina. From the Beaufort County Library: <br /> <br /> In late December 1861 the Union forces recognized that the Confederates recently removed to the mainland had been building batteries along the Coosaw River near the Port Royal Ferry. Union Commanding General I.I. Stevens ordered components of the 8th Michigan Infantry 47th and 48th New York Infantries 1st New York Engineers and the 50th Pennsylvania to destroy the Confederate breastworks capture the guns and force the retreat of some companies of the 12th South Carolina Infantry into the interior of Beaufort District. The Union forces accomplished their mission on New Year’s Day January 1 1862 with minimal casualties.<br /> <br /> The first Battle of Pocotaligo took place May 28th 1862. The Union army goal was to tear up the railroad between Charleston and Savannah. The second Battle of Pocotaligo took place October 22 1862. In the first battle the Union moved to destroy a bridge and having reached their objective retreated back to Hilton Head. both armies suffered a few casualties. In the second Battle the Union's goal was again to tear up the Railroad between Savannah and Charleston. After pushing the Confederates back to Pocotaligo the Union initiative stalled and the Union army retreated before nightfall. <br /> <br /> An interesting side note on the future fate of N. B. Hamericksp during the War comes from articles collected in The Spencer Times and the Sparta Exhibitor titled "Recollections of the War From Carroll H. Clark" Transcribed with all the commas dashes and lack of capitalization from Memorial and Biographical Record of the Cumberland Region An Illustrated Compendium of Biography. Geo. A. Ogle & Co. Chicago 1898. pp.253 and 254.<br /> <br /> Carroll Clark was from McMinnville Tennessee. In one of the several articles Clark makes a reference to a "N. B. Hamericksp" possibly the same soldier who wrote this letter. An excerpt from article 25 ".I have left untouched very many interesting events for instance the Battle of Franklin Tennessee in which many brave commanders and soldiers were killed of whom was Genl. Cleburne Genl. Carter and others. My dear friend and schoolmate N. B. Hamrick was killed there. His father and family lived out two miles from here at the place now called the Hill place on the road to Farris Griffiths. N.B. had three brothers in the war and all came through alive. The family came from North Carolina a few years before the war and it has been said brought the first yellow horse to this country. I yet remember the names of the whole family as follows: Uncle Billy Aunt Polly Jeroam Napoleon Bonapart killed at Franklin Jereboam Zorobabel Doctor Cortez and Don Pedro were the boys and two girls named Martha Salena and Mary Boston. All except Jeroam were my schoolmates."<br /> <br /> This letter was addressed to Mr. Ward in Rock Island Tennessee. Carroll Clark's war reminiscences was written in Tennessee. It is possible this is the same N. P. Napoleon Bonaparte Hamericksp who wrote the letter that was later killed at the Battle of Franklin in 1864. Information found regarding casualties at Franklin include variant spelling in the last name. A listing from the Civil War Talk web site states "1st Sgt. Napoleon B. Hambrick Co. I Killed." Another site Home dot Freeuk dot com lists "Sgt Napoleon Bonaparte Hanmbrick n.p. unknown‎
