‎[Boer War]. COOKE, Harry Ernest‎

‎An interesting eight-page letter from 96 Trooper Henry Ernest Cooke Victorian Mounted Rifles Maitland Camp Cape Town 22 June 1900 complete with the original OAS cover‎

‎Very Good. Octavo 8 pages two bifolia. The letter is creased where folded for posting; in excellent condition. The cover has a Cape of Good Hope 1d stamp with a partial and indistinct postmark; the verso is postmarked Melbourne 30 July 1900 and Hawthorn on the same day. The cover is chipped and torn with minor loss to the rear flap. The letter comes 'From No. 96 VMR on active Service South Africa' and is addressed to his cousin Miss E. Kirwood Eva in Glenferrie Victoria. After he deals at length with the squabbles over the fate of some stamps he had sent he explains in even greater detail what occurred to him after he 'got the Fever' at Kroonstad. He was in hospital for a fortnight in Bloemfontein where he 'lived on five pints of condensed milk & water & 5 ozs of brandy a day & I got pretty thin & weak on that'. He was then sent to a convalescent hospital at Wynberg. 'I was glad to leave Bloemfontein for men were dying fast every day & the hospital I was in was overlooking the cemetary & one could never look at the place but what he could see a lot of niggers digging graves as fast as ever they could . Eva I was not affraid to die by a bullet from a rifle but to lay there & die from that miserable fever I dreaded the thought of it'. Wynburg was 'a grand place only 22 of us to a ward & on spring beds & everything kept quiet & clean as a new pin'. He is then sent to Maitland Camp and 'what a difference . it was 120 of us laying on the floor as thick as it was possible for us to lay All Australians & New Zealanders in one room & there was no one in charge & it was nothing but one constant din . I couldn't stand it at all'. Conditions improved then worsened; he was told he was going home then not; he was put on what the doctor 'calls "Light Duties" . he won't send us back to the Regiment but we have to go fooling round this camp'. A dozen of them had to put stones around the paths at the camp then they had to paint them white 'Oh by jove "Talk about a fancy Ball" . I am beginning to think I am a poor fighting cock now'. The last two pages contain a lot of these sorts of ruminations. Murray page 315 687 Private Harry Ernest Cooke in 'The Second Battalion Australian Commonwealth Horse Victorian Units'. unknown‎

'The operations against the Boers in the neighbourhood of Klerksdorp which were begun on Sunday night March 23rd 1902 were very cleverly conceived and executed. The object of the operations was to form a long line of mounted men with the left on the Lichtenburg blockhouse and its right on the Vaal River and to work against the line of blockhouses' opening paragraph. Guest's account of this epic drive against De la Rey the Boers' commander in the Western Transvaal during which the troops made a round trip of 80 miles in 24 hours was written and printed in Klerksdorp soon after the event. In 1939 Herman Guest the publisher's son had some of these original Klerksdorp printings bound up and issued with a new foreword telling the story of the production of his father's 'records of the campaign in the Western Transvaal and elsewhere. It will be realized that the accounts were written during times of stress and consequently some of the statements have an "ex parte" complexion. Their value . lies in the fact that they were written and produced when Klerksdorp was practically in a state of siege. The inhabitants were unable to proceed a mile in any direction from the market square and the one railway line although closely guarded was frequently disturbed by Boers'.

The speech was 'Delivered at a Dinner given in his honour by the Public Bodies of Johannesburg during his recent visit' en route to the 1902 Colonial Conference in London held on the occasion of the coronation of Edward VII.

First edition first printing scarce in commerce of this propaganda pamphlet issued a few months before the publication of the controversial "Needham Report" an exposé of American biological warfare in Korea which drew on the explosive testimonies of Enoch Quinn and other POWs. Issued as a supplement to the magazine People's China in May 1952 this pamphlet contains the full confessions of Enoch and Quinn a broadcast by Quinn letters from Enoch to his family and to the Chinese 'volunteer' forces in Korea and a state newspaper editorial warning that "the day of judgement of the American war criminals is near" p. 15. Highly influential at the time the statements of Enoch Quinn and others were subsequently recanted following their release. Their experiences in captivity are now considered an early example of "brainwashing" a term coined in 1950 by Edward Hunter to describe Chinese communist interrogation techniques.

‎[FIRST GULF WAR] Anonymous Photographer‎

‎Three original large-format black-and-white photographs of a Manhattan anti-war rally ca. 1990‎

‎N.p.; photographer unknown ca 1990. Three large-format black-and-white photographic prints 11" x 14"; very mild creasing at edges still Near Fine. <br /> <br /> Three anonymous but excellent images of a Gulf War-era demonstration probably in Manhattan ca. 1990. The photographer is unidentified but the prints are of professional quality and capture close-up scenes of crowds carrying banners and placards opposing military involvement in the Middle East and directly attacking President George H.W. Bush. One placard calls for Bush's impeachment accusing him of ".creating the Gulf War to Cover Up His High Crimes and Misdemeanors;" another appears to read "Liar Liar We Will Set Your Ass on Fire." <br /> <br /> Several images suggest a New York likely Manhattan locale: one poster connects the marcher to SUNY Old Westbury on Long Island; several placards bear the imprint of the National Coalition to Stop U.S. Intervention in the Middle East including a New York City phone number. <br /> <br /> Though the precise date is obviously uncertain the event captured here is plausibly the October 20 1990 nationwide protest against Operation Desert Storm; rallies took place in several cities simultaneously but New York's was by far the largest as some 15000 protesters gathered at Columbus Circle and marched to Times Square. In general opposition to the first Gulf War was rather muted but significant demostrations did take place in October 1990 and January 1991 as well as a less well-attended counter-protest on the day of the Desert Storm victory parade June 8th 1991. unknown‎

The latter part of the book contains an original address to Henrietta Maria Queen of England illustrated with facing engraved portraits of the Queen and the Prince of Wales and signed simply 'le bon et loyal svbiet'. It introduces a short statement in both English and French allegedly translated from an original Latin version which purports to be the words of Liudolf c.930-957 an Ottonian Duke of Swabia and grandson of the German king Henry the Fowler 919-936. The text claims that Liudolf did not die in 957 but rather feigned his death to take exile in Mantua in the hope that his descendants would one day regain his power and prestige. The tale was likely intended by the royalist author to offer hope to the exiled queen and her son who were soon to become widow and orphan to the executed king.<br /><br />Rare.

In the theatrical profession he is known under the name of Paul Haakon. It is very well known that he is one of the best dancers in the world.
