General Sir Kenneth Anderson commander of British First Army during Operation Torch. Autograph Letter Signed 'Kenneth Anderson' discussing Kenya the 'severe crisis' in Britain conscription. With ANS from recipient Brigadier H. H. Dempsey
Dun Eaglais Kippen Stirlingshire Scotland. 14 February 1947. Dempsey's note dated 10 August 1960. Dempsey's obituary in The Times explains how 'In April 1945 he was appointed Brigadier I/C Administration East Africa Command' holding the position into the following year and retiring in December 1947 on account of ill health. For a full account of Dempsey's military career see his entry in Catholic Who's Who vol.35 1952. In an eight-line Autograph Note Signed at the end of Anderson's letter Dempsey states that Anderson 'had been my personal & immediate superior as G.O.C. in C. East Africa Command when I was his Brigadier I/C Administration. He became Governor of Gibraltar and has been dead some time now having himself got a coronary thrombosis.' The present item is an Air Mail letter. 4pp. 12mo. Bifolium on blue paper. Addressed to 'Brigadier M. C. sic Demspey CBE No 87 General Hospital Nairobi Kenya Colony'. Anderson has confused Dempsey with the more illustrious General Sir Miles Christopher Dempsey 1896-1969.Anderson begins by condoling with Dempsey on 'a return of your thrombosis': 'it is no use going on kicking against the pricks and you must I fear face the need for a quiet life'. He next describes the weather in Scotland 'our 21st day of hard frost & snow'. A report on his wife's trip to the metropolis turns into an attack on the postwar Labour government: 'Kathleen is in London trying to buy clothes by candle & torch light and shivering in her hotel. I fear this country is in for a very severe crisis made worse by the theories & idealisms of the Govt which fiddles while Rome does not burn.' After more domestic news he reports: 'I saw Brown and also Fisher while in London at the end of last month. The War Office continues hopeful about all their grand schemes for Kenya: but it will be a miracle if they get 1/10th of the present estimated cost. And on the same lines I dont see how the country can carry a large Army and 18 months conscription. We are so hard pressed economically that I think it is fanstastic to try & carry such a Burden.' Dun Eaglais, Kippen, Stirlingshire [Scotland]. 14 February 1947. Dempsey's note dated 10 August 1960. hardcover

18 December 1842; Canford i.e. Canford House Dorsetshire. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. From 1821 to the end of his life Barnard served as a courtier notably as Equerry to King George IV and it would appear that the present item is written in response to an enquiry made to the recipient of the letter regarding paintings in the royal collection. He writes from Camford House where Queen Adelaide widow of William IV had taken up residence. 4pp 12mo. On bifolium with thin mourning border. In fair condition on aged paper. Folded twice. Begins: ‘The three Ladies in the Picture of the Prince of Wales playing on the Violoncello are his three sisters viz. the afterwards Dutchess sic of Brunswick the Princess Amelia I forget who the third married but will let you know tomorrow - The Prince is evidently stepping out of tune and working away in true Amateur style Barnard was himself a Governor of the Royal Academy of Music this is perceptible in his attitude & were it not the young Lady with a book in her hand shews it by her Countenance and by her stopping her ears’. He considers the picture ‘a very clever one’ and attributes it to ‘Nollekins the father of the Sculptor’ i.e. ‘Old Nollekins’ Joseph Francis Nollekins 1702-1748. In ‘the picture of Charles the Second dancing with the Queen of Bohemia at the Ball given at the Hague by the States general’ he has ‘made out many of the figures’ and has also done so ‘at the one representing the Time with a Club drinking punch and Port - the one opposite where the Prince is peeping thro the door half open has the names of all the parties written on the back of it’. If the enquirer ‘wants information about any of the others I know a little about most of them and should be happy to communicate all that I have learned to any one about to print as it is a great pity that the Clue to their History should be lost’. 18 December 1842; Canford [i.e. Canford House, Dorsetshire]. unknown

Also included are twelve Appendices detailing the units of the British forces in 1917 and 1919 the terms delivered to the Waziris and Mahsuds lists of British casualties and approximate numbers of the different specific tribes of the Mahsuds and Waziris involved in the conflict. <br /><br />In 1919 the short-lived Third Anglo-Afghan War concluded with the British ceding legal control of Afghan foreign affairs in return for the recognition by the Afghans of the Durand Line. Despite this a rumour spread amongst the Waziri and Mahsud tribesmen that the British intended to cede their territory to the British. They quickly conducted a series of raids against neighbouring settlements in the North-West Frontier in late 1919 causing over 400 casualties. <br /><br />Major-General Sir Andrew Skeen led the British response against the Tochi Waziris and Mahsuds in November of 1919. The campaign a took over 12 months due to the inexperience of the British units mainly comprised of light Indian divisions. The decisive eight-day battle of Ahnai Tangi involving the stand of the 2nd/5th Gurkhas immortalised in several paintings broke the Mahsud offensive and quickly resulted in a calming of violence and allowed the British to deliver their terms of control. <br /><br />Despite the apparent British victory the 1919-1920 campaign led to a change of policy in Waziristan. Britain decided to station permanent garrisons and have a much closer relationship with the irregular military units used. A large number of the locally raised troops had defected to the Waziris and Mahsuds during the campaign and it was hoped these measures would prevent further desertion. Britain also attempted a road construction effort in the region but this was seen as invasive and caused further conflict up to 1924.<br /><br />This copy was used by a member of the 1st Battalion of The Royal Scots during the time they were station in Secunderabad Hyderabad between 1922 and 1925.<br /> Calcutta, Superintendent Government Printing, India, 1921. hardcover

Diagrams for the documents. / Moscow: Voenizdat 1938. Publisher's calico folder with silver embossing 26 × 16.5 cm. Condition: good; maps 1–3 are missing. In Russian. This massive 1938 publication by the General Staff of the Red Army is a vital scholarly resource documenting the Warsaw-Ivangorod Operation one of the most significant strategic encounters on the Eastern Front during the opening months of World War I. Spanning September to early November 1914 this maneuverable phase of the war saw the Imperial Russian Army successfully repel a major offensive by combined Austro-German forces securing a critical victory for the Entente. The volume consists of an exhaustive collection of primary source documents including operational orders reports and telegrams from the front lines. These materials provide an unfiltered look at the decision-making processes of the Russian High Command and the tactical realities of early 20th-century warfare. The inclusion of the separate folder of diagrams and maps notably produced by Voenizdat highlights the logistical and geographic complexity of an operation that covered a vast front in Poland. The "world imperialist war" terminology used in the title reflects the historiographical approach of the People's Commissariat of Defense NKO during the late 1930s. Despite the ideological framing the technical and military analysis within remains rigorous as the Red Army General Staff studied these Imperial-era battles intensely to prepare for future conflicts. The physical presentation is typical of high-level academic military editions of the Stalinist era featuring a durable calico binding with striking silver embossing. For military historians researchers of World War I and collectors of Red Army General Staff publications this work is a cornerstone primary source on Russian strategic successes and the immense human cost of the Great War's Eastern Front.

Georges Washington de La Fayette (1779-1849), militaire, homme politique, député de la Haute-Loire, seul fils du célèbre marquis.
Beau manuscrit autographe
Georges Washington de La Fayette (1779-1849), militaire, homme politique, député de la Haute-Loire, seul fils du célèbre marquis. Manuscrit autographe, sd [janvier 1849], 2p in-8. Long et interessant manuscrit, probablement le brouillon d'une lettre, à propos d'une veuve, madame Durieu, dont le mari est un « citoyen mort pour la défense de l'ordre et des institutions républicaines du mois de juin dernier ». Il est surtout question de sa pension et de la pension de son fils, ainsi que de la nouvelle méthode de paiement, mensuelle. Lafayette indiquant que la veuve Durieu a déjà obtenu le premier paiement, ce document date donc de janvier 1849. Il meurt en novembre 1849. Très beau document, rare. [420]
