‎ARMY LIST.‎

‎A List of the Officers of the Army‎

‎London: War-Office 28 April 1783. First edition compiled just a few months before the conclusion of the War of Independence. These eighteenth-century Army Lists are becoming increasingly elusive those with relevance to the American Wars being particularly desirable and especially so when as here they are printed on thick paper and presented in the style of binding which seems to have been reserved by the War Office for presentation copies. A very handsome piece indeed. Octavo 228 x 138 mm. Contemporary red morocco green morocco label flat spine elaborately gilt with gilt pentaglyph and metope stylised quatrefoil and plain reeded rolls gilt panel of swags and sunflowers to the boards gilt edge-roll all edges gilt palm branch and quatrefoil roll gilt to the turn-ins marbled endpapers Greek key roll to boards floral roll to turn-ins and all edges gilt. Lightly rubbed spine a touch sunned small chip from the lower edge of the label no loss of lettering corners just a little bumped but a very good copy. hardcover‎

‎ARMY LIST.‎

‎List of the General and Field-Officers, as they Rank in the Army; of the officers in the several regiments of Horse, Dragoons, and Foot, on the British and Irish establishments, with the dates of their commissions, as they rank in each corps, and as they rank in the army : the Royal Regiment of Artillery, Irish Artillery, Engineers, the Marines, and independent companies : governors, lieutenant-governors, of His Majesty's garrisons at home and abroad, with their allowances, and the officers on half-pay &c. : to which is now added the succession of colonels.‎

‎4to, (275 x 195mm), 18, 13-48, 52-91, 93-140, 133-148, 12, [2]pp., LARGE PAPER COPY, in addition there are two final leaves with manuscript additions for the 32 Regiment of Foot and the 36 Regiment of Foot, later half calf, rubbed, lacks spine, covers detached. Annual Army list to November, 1763. The pagination of this book is erratic to say the least: there are no pages 49, 50 or 51, page 52 follows p. 48, from thence onwards to p. 91 (38th Foot) inclusive, all the odd numbers are on the verso side, there is no page 91, page 93 (39th Foot) follows p. 91, and from thence to p. 140 the pagination is normal, a page numbered 133 (70 Companies of Marines) follows p. 140, and this continues to p. 148, thence follows 12 pages (succession of Colonels) and a final leaf (Additions since Printing). It seems the printer who set up this list, must have been a 'Dreamer'. Provenance: ex-ministry of Defence Library. ESTC (N62475) locates a single copy of this edition at the National Archives.‎

This excellent and detailed cloth map was used by the "A.V.G." "AMERICAN VOLUNTEER GROUP" known as the "FLYING TIGERS" in the "I.E." "CHINA-BURMA-INDIA" theater throughout World War 2 in China Burma & Indo China. . This "E & E" "Escape & Evasion" cloth map was carried by pilots & air crew on combat missions and attacks on Japanese assets. This map was valuable to downed pilots and crew behind hostile and enemy lines. . It was first carried by the "A.V.G." fighter pilots in early 1942 when they first attacked the Japanese Air Force over Burma: air combat over Rangoon Touongoo and Southwest China Kunming Chiang Mai Thailand Hanoi and the strike against Japanese air planes parked at Noi Bai airfield. . The famous "Battle of Toungoo" Burma March 19-March 29 1942 was one of the key battles in the Battle of Yunnan-Burma Road in the Burma Campaign of World War II and Second Sino-Japanese War. The failure to hold the city of Toungoo opened up the route for the Japanese to make their lunge to Lashio around the allied flank and into the Chinese rear. The "A.V.G." fighter pilots performed brilliantly downing a substantial number of Japanese planes with minor losses to themselves. .
