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

BRITISH ARMY
Manual of Military Law. War Office 1914. Sixth Edition. BRIGHT WORKING COPY OF THE GREAT WAR ISSUE
HMSO 1914. 8vo. Sixth Edition endpapers lightly browned fore-edges lightly dust-soiled; original red cloth gilt back covers age-soiled case a little loose as often else a clean working copy with all advertisement endpapers preserved. With 17pp publisher's catalogue on pink stock bound in at front and rear.The compilation of the Manual of Military Law was initiated by Secretary of State for War Stanley in 1879. In order to produce a single comprehensive manual the Rules of Procedure required considerable legal amendment including the repeal and replacement of the Army Discipline and Regulation Act 1879 by the Army Act 1881. The first edition was approved by both Childers and Hartington and published in 1884. The present edition contains an entirely new chapter on the laws and usages of war revisions resulting from the Army Reforms of 1908 and notably the inclusion for the first time of the Official Secrets Act. It is arguably the most significant single issue containing as it does the broadest set of amendments stemming from sea changes in service structure and practice. Fortunately it was completed in time for the conflict about to come. COPIES OF THE SIXTH EDITION ARE UNACCOUNTABLY SCARCE ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION. A RARE SURVIVAL. HMSO, hardcover

Calcutta: Superintendent of Government Printing 1921. Contemporary half calf green cloth sides gold-stamped red spine labels. 8vo. With frontispiece 31 plates 7 maps 3 in pocket on inside of back board and 8 panoramas mostly folding. First edition of the British-Indian armys official account of the 1919-20 Waziristan campaign marked "Confidential" on the title-page. The operations followed unrest that arose in the aftermath of the Third Anglo-Afghan War; they were conducted in the mountainous region of Waziristan now in Pakistan by British and Indian forces against the fiercely independent Waziri and Mahsud tribesmen that inhabited it. Since the 1870s the British government agencies were assiduous in compiling internally published histories of their military frontier operations with the intention of providing a "valuable guide" to such British commanders and policymakers as "might have future dealings with these turbulent neighbours" as the Punjab Government phrased it in 1866.The title-page reports the catalogue number and location of what may be the original report: Catalogue no. C.W. 4 - Case no. 8987 N.S..Serial No. 1235 stamped on the title-page. Occasional light marginal staining. A few edge flaws consistent with army use repaired by a contemporary owner.

Colour-lithographed map of Iraq Kuwait and southwestern Iran 65.5 x 66 cm in black brown blue and green at a scale of 1:1000000 dissected into 12 sections and mounted on contemporary cloth. First edition of the first accurate Ottoman general map of Central and Southern Iraq Kuwait and Khuzestan southwestern Iran; the authoritative map used by the Ottoman army for strategic planning during the "Mesopotamia Campaign" where Ottoman-German forces mounted a unexpectedly strong resistance to Britain's invasion of Iraq in World War I. Examples of the present map were used by Ottoman commanders who oversaw the successful Ottoman-German defence of Baghdad at the Battle of Ctesiphon 22-25 Nov. 1915 as well as the capture of the main British army at the Siege of Kut-al-Amara 7 Dec. 1915-29 April 1916. It shows the tip of the Gulf and the Tigris and Euphrates vallies including Kuwait most of Iraq and Khuzestan province in southwestern Iran. Mountain ridges are rendered in brown with rivers and marshes in blue permanent bodies of water in green and parallels and meridians at every degree ranging from about 43.5 to 49.5°E longitude and 29 to 34°N latitude. With the text entirely in Ottoman Turkish the map is based on the British War Office's "Lower Mesopotamia between Baghdad and the Persian Gulf" 1911 which was itself in part based on Ottoman sources. Both maps were dramatically superior in all respects to previous efforts forming the culmination of over three generations of reconnaissance capped by critical late-breaking discoveries.Some light stains in the margins and the lower-right quadrant but generally in good condition. Very rare. [Erkan-i Harbiye-i Umumiye], hardcover

An illustrated guide to places of interest including Fatephur Sikri with history and fold-out map. Seventh Edition. - by H.A. Newell Bombay. PRESS RELEASE - Major H. A. Newell of Jullundur Cantonment deserves to be heartily congratulated on his happy idea of assisting tourists and travellers with hints and suggestions as to how to manage their sight-seeing in principal cities. This he has done by issuing a series of handy and well written guide books. It is not all tourists who know what to see and how to see and even those who know these labour under a great disadvantage in that they know nothing of the topography of the place. Not unoften are visitors constrained to waste time energy and money over their itinerary. Instead of enjoying the sights they come to see they even find the tours uncomfortable and vexatious. Much of this is due to want of information as to places they propose to visit and want of knowledge as to method and arrangement in their programme. Major Newell's guides supply these wants and are a great help to tourists. Being models of clearness and brevity they are admirably adapted to the needs of tourists. The guides are elegantly printed on art paper by Higginbothams LD. of Madras and Bangalore and are accompanied with maps. <br/> <br/> Higginbothams LD. hardcover

[Imperial Japanese Army Medical Corps; Nishimura Company; Taisho Photo Factory]
Holy War Commemoration Photo Album: Isa's Forces Fukaya's Forces Text in Japanese
Shanghai: Nishimura Company 1939. Edition not stated. Quarto 26.5cm; black simulated leather stamped in red and gilt in brown paper slipcover; unpaginated photo-illustrated plates w/ rice paper overlays. Wear minor scuffs and soiling to boards; toning and foxing intermittent throughout text especially on overlays; some overlays creased or torn. Slipcover worn and chapped with abrasions and two large one repaired tears across front panel. Photo-illustrated pastedowns and endpapers. Very Good in Good slipcover. All text in Japanese with some obsolete/antiquated kana/kanji oriented right to left. This is a privately-issued commemorative yearbook-type photo album shashin-cho published on behalf of the Imperial Japanese Army medical forces during the Second Sino-Japanese War 1937-1945. Specifically it was produced for those who served under military physician captains/commanding officers Nobuo Isa and Tetsuo Fukaya who were stationed in or near Shanghai at the time.<br /> <br /> By July 1939 the Imperial Japanese Army was beginning to feel the impact of its own mounting casualties and costs; the Chinese Red Army would launch a major offensive later that November. While the Japanese occupation of Shanghai was notably brutal there is little evidence of violence in this album. However some photographs do depict the aftermath of battle with ruined buildings and soldiers being treated for injuries. Other subjects are mundane in nature: Staff and group portraits hospitals and other facilities physicians at work company events and ceremonies. Also includes photographs of Shanghai and a fold-out map of the Hangzhou Bay area. Apparently not cataloged in OCLC or available commercially as of November 2019. Nishimura Company unknown
