Fraser, Donald; Roy, Reginald H. (Editor)
The Journal of Private Fraser, 1914-1918: Canadian Expeditionary Force
334 pages. Index. Maps. Black and white photographic plates. "... A rare gem. I have been actively hunting for this sort of record and have come to realize just how rare such accounts are. This one also touches all the points an historian would wish to mention, from the attitudes of officers to frustration with the Ross rifle. One can only wonder how the journal survived and how it was composed." - Professor Desmond Morton, from dust jacket. Book clean, bright and unmarked with light wear. Would be graded very good if not for the fact that some rain appears to have fallen upon half-title and title pages (only) resulting in modest undulating. Average wear to dust jacket. A sound copy.

French Army Officers
Beautiful 1793 Military Certificate of Good Conduct for Soldier of the First Battalion in the Army of the Alps
France. Fair with no dust jacket. 1793. Ephemera. On offer is a fine example of a military certificate of good conduct issued by one of the French Revolutionary armies. The certificate is dated 25 Prairial Year 2 French revolutionary calendar corresponding to June 15th 1793. The recipient is a soldier who is serving in the 1st Battalion. The certificate commends his service and valour. The certificate is signed by several officers. One signature reads simply Commandant en Chef or Commander in Chief. At that time the Commander in Chief of the Army of the Alps was the famed French General François Christophe Kellermann. Kellerman was a life-long soldier entering the Royal Army at age 15 and later rising to command revolutionary troops and then serving under Napoleon as one of his Marshals. In 1797 the Army of the Alps was merged into The Army of Italy and was one of Napoleons first commands. The Army of the Alps was reconstituted in the French Army during WWII. The folded certificate was then sealed with a red wax seal which is still present. For a historian this is an outstanding document that connects the owner to one of the great Generals of the Napoleonic Wars and to an Army that fought extensively in the Napoleonic Wars. Dating from mid-1793 this certificate measures 8.5 inches by 12.0 inches. The document was originally folded into four panels 8 inches by 3 inches and then folded in half. It has been unfolded and affixed to sheet of heavy paper likely dating from the same time period. There are wear marks along the fold lines and on the edges. The handwriting is fairly legible being written in a copperplate script. ; Manuscripts; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 1 pages; Signed by Author . unknown

Sir John French's Despatches; Official Records of the Great Battles of Mons the Marne and the Aisne. Vol 2 Ypres Armentieres .; as told in his despatches by Field-Marshal Sir John French to Field-Marshal Lord Kitchener .
London: The Graphic 1914. Paperback. Very good to near fine-. Two volumes 47 pages illustrations maps obl. 12mo. The Graphic Special; No. 1 series. ¶ "John Denton Pinkstone French 1st Earl of Ypres 1852-1925 was a senior British Army officer who served as the first Commander-in-Chief of the British Expeditionary Force BEF during World War I. French's military career began in the Royal Navy but he soon transferred to the British Army. He served in the Sudan Expedition and the Second Boer War demonstrating a knack for cavalry tactics. His leadership during these conflicts led to his appointment as Chief of the Imperial General Staff in 1912. When World War I broke out French took command of the BEF leading British forces during the Battle of Mons and the First Battle of Ypres. However his leadership was criticized for strategic missteps and poor relations with his French allies and political leaders. He was replaced as Commander-in-Chief by Sir Douglas Haig in 1915. After leaving the Western Front French served as Commander-in-Chief Home Forces until 1918. He was created Viscount French in 1916 and Earl of Ypres in 1922. Despite the controversies of his military career French played a significant role in the early years of World War I and left a lasting impact on the British military. The Graphic paperback
