‎[Civil War – Union Army – Carolinas Campaign – Freedmen] Vannada, George H‎

‎Letter from Union Army Soldier Concerning Sherman’s “Forty Acres†Order and His Carolinas Campaign‎

‎South Carolina 1865. Single letter measuring 7.5 x 10 inches folded one double-sided sheet with stampless envelope. Near fine with light normal wear. George Harpole Vannada 1844–1928 was a private promoted to corporal in Company I of the 25th Indiana Infantry Regiment during the Civil War. The 25th Infantry was a volunteer regiment mustered in August 1861 and mustered out in July 1865. At the time of Vannada’s writing the Regiment was involved in the Campaign of the Carolinas – led by General Sherman this campaign would culminate in the Army of the South’s unconditional surrender and effectively end the war.<br /> <br /> Vannada writes that his regiment had “started with 25 days rations from pocotaligo staton for i supose Charleston.†On the way they had encountered:<br /> <br /> “a few Johneys i.e. Confederates not far off i have heard sevrel cannons to day we will be botherd with them all the way to Charleston between here and Buford they had a fort a bout evry 3 miles they wood stop and fire a few shots and then get up a bug for the next fortâ€.<br /> By “Buford†Vannada probably means Beaufort South Carolina which had been occupied by Union forces since November 1861. At this point the Savannah area had been essentially a refugee camp for freed people for several years and Sherman’s Special Field Orders No. 15 which settled them in the nearby South Carolina Sea Islands—the “forty acres and a mule†order—came in response to their request for stewardship over the land. Vannada remarks on Sherman’s order:<br /> <br /> “Gen Foster has been on Buford Iland for 2 years and now Sherman has comand of his troops i think they will get off now this Iland they have to give to the Niggars to setle on that is all that have famlies 40 acre to the manâ€.<br /> <br /> Vannada also accurately forecasts despite the fact that “we don’t often get any papers here to see what is goin on†that there “is some talk of peace down here but i think it is sevrel months off yetâ€. unknown‎

‎[MURORAN - PHOTOGRAPH ALBUM OF US FORCES IN HOKKAIDO DURING THE KOREAN WAR].‎

‎米州兵輸送. Beishūhei yusō. Muroran Welcomes the Thunderbirds. 25 April 1951.‎

‎Japan. 1951. Eight black and white photographs 20.5 x 25.5cm each captioned in Japanese the handmade album is titled and dated in ink 23.5 x 32.8cm 9pp cord ties. One photograph has been removed card leaves and covers are browned surface of upper cover abraded in places some other minor wear but the photographs are in very good condition. A private album containing eight high-quality large-format photographs showing US forces being welcomed to the northern Japanese city of Muroran Hokkaido on 25 April 1951 - at the height of the Korean War. The first two photos show the US forces being welcomed by a local brass band. There is then a shot of US officers and Japanese officials standing under a large sign saying "Welcome Thunderbirds - Muroran City" indicating that the troops being welcomed are from the 45th Infantry Division nicknamed the Thunderbirds one of two US Army National Guard units engaged in the Korean War and recruited largely from the state of Oklahoma. <br> <br>The 45th Infantry Division received their initial training for combat in Korea in the US itself in 1950 and then sailed from New Orleans to Japan in early 1951 arriving at the ports of Otaru and Muroran in Hokkaido April of that year. From there they were sent for further training at Camp Crawford a US military base on the outskirts of the city of Sapporo and at a newly created camp south of Chitose before being transfered to Korea in December 1951. The album also contains two photos of the ships "General C.G. Morton" and "General William Weigel" which were built during World War II and used as a troop transport ship during the Korean War and were presumably among the ships which brought the 45th Infantry Division to Japan. Other images show local officials explaining the geography of the region to US officers as they peruse a large map and a Japanese woman beign presented with a badge by an American officer. <br> <br>Muroran was one of many Japanese ports whose life was transformed by the mass arrival of UN mostly American forces during the Korean War although the town's role in the war is less well documented than the roles of ports like Yokohama Kobe and Sasebo. These pictures give a vivid impression of the Korean war journeys of US troops and of Hokkaido during the Korean War. . unknown‎

‎[Russo-Japanese War – Imperial Japan] Uyeda, Kyoske‎

‎Two Postcards from a Soldier in Imperial Japan near the End of the Russo-Japanese War‎

‎Tokyo Japan 1905. Two postcards measuring 3 ½ x 5 ½ inches. Near Fine. Two postcards from Kyoske Uyeda in Japan to his friend Bessie Mulkey in San Francisco dated May and July 1905. At the time the Russo-Japanese War fought over the Russian and Japanese Empires’ imperial ambitions for Manchuria and Korea was nearing its end. Uyeda had been on the front; in his earlier postcard he writes:<br /> <br /> “May 5th 1905 I left the front at the end of March after the great victory around Mukden and have been back to Tokyo for sometime. I congratulate myself that I was fortunate enough to come back to the country at this glorious season of all sorts of beautiful flowers. The people too are enjoying the seasons as if there is no such terrible thing as war. They are having picnics every day. I will leave the country for the front within a short time. Kyo.â€<br /> <br /> Mukden—present-day Shenyang Liaoning province—was the site of the war’s final land battle fought from February to March 1905 and resulting in a decisive victory for Imperial Japan. In his second postcard Uyeda is set to depart for another significant location in the war:<br /> <br /> “I will leave here for Port Arthur to-morrow and having stayed there a day or two and coming back here am probably to go to our Headquarters at Mukhden to attend to the annual celebration of the day in which our Manchurian Expedition Army organised that is on the 6th of July 04. I expect a grand time there Marshal Oyama Gen. Baron Kodama Gen. Kuroki and many other grand chieftains will assemble at the Capital of Manchuria.â€<br /> <br /> Port Arthur now Lüshunkou District in Liaoning province China was seized by the Japanese in 1894 during the First Sino-Japanese War; returned to China in 1895; and then leased in an unequal treaty by the Russian Empire in 1898. Japan’s surprise attack against the Russian fleet at Port Arthur launched the war in February 1904 and resulted in Japan retaking the port.<br /> <br /> Uyeda’s notes are written on interesting themed postcards depicting the Imperial Japanese Navy; one reads “Our Combined Squadron steaming towards the enemy†and the other “Our torpedoboat squadron returning to a naval base after fighting with the enemy.†How Uyeda and Mulkey would have met and begun a correspondence is unclear. unknown‎

‎[World War II – Germany – Nazism] Bliwernitz, Annemarie‎

‎Looking Back. A World War II Memoir by Annemarie Bliwernitz‎

‎St. Petersburg Florida: unpublished 1974. Ninety-four typed and photocopied pages measuring 8 ½ x 11 inches in a soft binding. Binding with wear; pages generally excellent to Near Fine. Overall excellent to Near Fine. Annemarie Bliwernitz 1905–2005 née Entz was born in Notzendorf East Prussia. In 1952 after surviving both World Wars she and her husband Bruno 1900–1992 immigrated first to Canada and then to the United States. Offered here is Annemarie’s unpublished memoir written between 1972 and 1974.<br /> <br /> Bliwernitz grew up in a wealthy land-owning country family which she remembers lived far west enough that they did not have to flee the Russians during World War I and was less affected by the postwar economic situation than were city residents. Most of the memoir is taken up by Bliwernitz’s remembrances of World War II and life leading up to it. Of Hitler’s rise she writes:<br /> <br /> “During these years conditions got worse in Germany . A new name came up ‘Adolf Hitler.’ – It was not hard for him to find followers now by the thousands and soon by the millions. He dared to stand up against the Communists with his brown uniformed S.A. men and a new wind seemed to blow over our illfated land. No wonder young people looked up to him and followed the new star nobody had much to lose. . Bruno and brother-in-law Willy after some meetings attended showed up in the new brown uniform also and farmers and laborers seemed to be united in that new idea. – It really changed Germany in a short time nobody could deny that unemployment ceased people got jobs again and housewives and mothers could buy the necessities of life for their families especially food. And it brought us to our feet again also.â€<br /> <br /> Though of course Bliwernitz maintains that the “Concentration Camps and what happened in them was not known to the German people" she mentions that Bruno quickly became an Arbeitsdienstführer—essentially a labor camp overseer—and remembers dissenters being disappeared:<br /> <br /> “As an example I will tell about Bruno’s oldest brother Alfred. He was all against Hitler from the beginning. One day he came home and picked up his neighbor’s paper at his frontdoor and wrote his ideas about Hitler and his lies down with pencil. This neighbor reported him they picked him up and that was the last his family saw of him. They were told ½ year later that he had died in Stuhm West Prussia a Concentration Camp. No explanation to his wife whatsoever. The same destiny happened to my co-worker a highly educated person at the Translation Office. She said in the lavatory where many ladies could hear: Hitler’s big picture in the office should be placed here in the toilet-rooms where it belongs. One of the ‘kind’ co-workers reported her and she came next day only to pick up her belongings and was not seen any more.â€<br /> <br /> While Bruno is sent to the Eastern Front Bliwernitz and their children flee the Russians trying to reach the Americans on the Western Front. Along the way they encounter deserting German soldiers and near Hamburg liberated camp inmates:<br /> <br /> “Shooting started close to us and we heard bombs exploding would we be hit We found out that the Concentration Camp near us had been opened and those freed inmates had shot their guardians. At daybreak we met the first one still in his black and white striped prison-suit kneeling on the ground by the chicken-coop and with his both hands feeding himself out of the bowl with the chicken food. . They came to us begging for a little bit of salt to cook the horse-meat they had cut out of the dead horses lying along the ditches . We talked to them and I remember one told me he was imprisoned because of his religion not to go to any war. He was from Elbing where I had gone to school as a young girl.â€<br /> <br /> The family are reunited with Bruno and shortly before they surrender to the Americans they destroy the evidence of their party involvement: “Bruno’s N.S.D.A.P. membership-card my certificate for the ‘mother’s cross’ the passports of Horst and Juergen showing that they had been students of the Nazi-school in Stuhm etc.†After the German surrender the family is sent back east where they struggle to avoid starvation then return west where they are sent to live in Hardegsen. They finally decide in 1951 to emigrate as life in postwar Germany is simply too difficult but make the mistake of being honest about their history:<br /> <br /> “Another big obstacle for us was that Bruno had been in a member in a Nazi-party though not an active one. But it was still a handicap in those days for any undertaking. We had not kept it secret in our immigration papers and they wanted a detailed description about our political involvement. That we did wrote a long letter in German didn’t have the money for an interpreter and never got an answer. . That was a bitter pill to swallow.â€<br /> <br /> After this they decide to try for Canada instead and this time savvily “didn’t mention any Nazi-party attachmentâ€. This is a success; the family moves to Winnipeg and eventually to St. Petersburg Florida where the narrative was written. Bliwernitz recalls working as a housekeeper which she contrasts with her previous life in which she and her family would not allow maids farm hands or tradesmen to eat at their table with them.<br /> <br /> Of interest to historians of the German civilian experience during the Second World War especially that of women and children. unpublished unknown‎

‎Twenty-one Photos Showing the Aftermath of the Battle of Manila‎

‎Manila The Philippines 1945. Twenty-one photos: twelve measuring 2 ½ x 2 ½ inches most with stamped captions verso; nine measuring 2 x 3 ¾ inches most with captions on negative. Some wear; excellent. Imperial Japan occupied the Philippines from 1942 until its surrender in 1945. From early February to early March of 1945 American and Filipino forces fought to drive the Japanese out of the Philippines’ capital city of Manila.

Offered here are twenty-one photographs of buildings taken before and after the destruction of the city with most the twelve smaller photos showing the aftermath. Locations include several churches and university buildings the treasury building legislative building Manila Central Post Office and others. The photos taken after the battle are arresting showing Manila’s ruined architecture burnt out trees and downed power lines. unknown‎
