‎Pole-Carew, Lieutenant General Sir Reginald (1849-1924). British Army Officer & war hero who went on to command the 8th Division‎

‎AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED by the British Army Officer REGINALD POLE-CAREW organizing an outdoor show "while the lovely weather lasts".‎

‎<p>Antony / Devonport May 16 1901. 1901. Fine. - Over 135 words penned on four sides of 7 inch high by 4-3/8 inch wide "Antony / Devonport" stationery. In his letter addressed to "My dear Hughes" from his Antony House Estate in Cornwall the British Army Officer and Liberal Unionist Member of Parliament Sir Reginald Pole-Carew discusses arrangements for outdoor festivities "".I am anxious to get these entertainment done quickly as promised - and as there is a clever Conjuror whom I know in Plymouth now so seems a pity not to have the out of door's show while he is here and while this lovely weather lasts." He hopes Hughes can come as "Mother will be delighted to see you on Friday." In a postscript he agrees with Hughes that "the Band should be on the evening preceding the outdoors show" and ponders whether there is still time to arrange it. Signed "Reg Pole-Carew". Folded for mailing else fine.</p><p>Celebrated as a military hero the British army officer and landowner Lieutenant-General Sir Reginald Pole-Carew 1849-1924 was commissioned into the Coldstream Guards in 1869. He served with Lord Roberts in the Second Anglo-Afghan War and in the Second Boer War. Promoted to Colonel he was given command of the 9th Brigade with the "local" rank of major-general and led during the Battle of Modder River. Appointed to command the Guards Brigade he later commanded the 11th Division of the South Africa Field Force and in 1903 became the General Officer Commanding the 8th Division in Southern Ireland. He served as a Liberal Unionist Member of Parliament for Bodmin.

‎Before and After Army Desegregation‎

‎Black Soldiers Photo Archive in the Philippines and Korea Before and After U.S. Army Desegregation 1940s-50s‎

‎1940. African American MilitarySegregation African American soldiers' photograph archive from the 1940s and 1950s documenting Black military service in the Philippines and Korea during the transition from segregated World War II units to the early implementation of desegregation under President Harry S. Truman's 1948 Executive Order 9981. 38 images showing African American servicemen stationed in Southeast Asia and East Asia at a time when U.S. global military invention was further complicated by racial segregation and gradual integration. The archive reflects the lived experience of Black soldiers deployed abroad in the immediate postwar period illustrating their service within the American imperial presence in the Philippines following its 1946 independence and during the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950.<br /> <br /> Archive of thirty-eight vernacular silver gelatin black and white photographs with sepia tone 1940s to 1950s most measuring approximately 5 x 3 inches with minor size variation. The majority of images depict African American soldiers in what appear to be predominantly all-Black units consistent with pre-1948 segregation policies while one snapshot shows a racially mixed unit encamped in snow likely Korea suggestive of early desegregation implementation. Several photographs portray soldiers stationed in the Philippines amid dense jungle foliage and village settings socializing with local residents and posing with women; one captioned image identifies three well-dressed soldiers as "Kee" of Youngstown "Haynes" of Philadelphia and "Borom" of Gary Indiana pictured with three Asian women. Additional images include formal and informal portraits soldiers standing guard on base with helmet and rifle and scenes of leisure and camaraderie that complicate narratives of isolation and discrimination.<br /> <br /> The archive spans the crucial transitional years between World War II segregation Philippine independence in 1946 and the Korean War era when approximately 600000 African Americans served in the armed forces and the implementation of Executive Order 9981 unfolded unevenly across units. The photographs track gradual emergence of integrated units mirroring broader civil rights struggles unfolding on the American home front. They also document the role of Black soldiers on U.S. military bases in the Philippines and in early Cold War Asia offering material evidence of African American participation in postwar American global intervention. Minor edge wear and occasional slight bends with light surface handling visible on several prints; images remain clear and well defined. Overall condition very good. A substantial visual record of African American military life abroad during the pivotal transition from segregation to integration in the United States Army. unknown‎

‎A graphic and comprehensive album of photographs compiled by a young German soldier in labour service and military training camps and on active service in Czechoslovakia Sudetenland Poland and France in 1937 1938 and 1939‎

‎Very Good. A commercial photograph album 225 × 320 mm containing 163 snapshot photographs mainly 57 × 70 mm or 64 × 90 mm loosely mounted behind photo-corners on 24 leaves mainly on the rectos with captions regularly throughout the album. A postcard-format studio portrait of the compiler is attached to the front pastedown and he has identified himself in a number of photographs. In one snapshot he is standing with former German Olympic boxer Hans Schönrath 1902-1945 who has signed the photograph in ink. Cord-bound boards covered with coarsely-woven multi-coloured fabric; extremities a little rubbed and bumped with minor wear to some corners; patterned tissue-guards occasionally chipped and torn; minimal signs of age and use including a few loose snapshots - and only a handful appear to be no longer present; overall in excellent condition. The portrait has a personal inscription on the verso unfortunately not fully identifying the subject. The snapshots are basically in chronological order with the first group captioned 'R.A.D. 1937'. 'The Reichsarbeitsdienst RAD or National Empire Labour Service had its origins with the formation of a volunteer labour force that was created to off-set the high unemployment before the Nazis came to power. Work camps were set up to house these volunteers sponsored by the government administration in 1931. Under Hitler's leadership service in the RAD was obligatory for all males of 17-25 years of age for a period of six months from 26 June 1935' Imperial War Museum. Next follows a period of military training at Neuhammer; a number of photographs in this part of the album suggest the young man may have had training as a chef. There are about 40 photographs of the young man working or training in camps in barracks or at ease. <p>The majority of the photographs depict the unstoppable and destructive course of the German army as it embarks on the occupation of Czechoslovakia fortifications captured tanks and aircraft military parades in the presence of Herman Goering and Sudetenland the invasion of Poland deployed troops destroyed or burning buildings demoralised civilians and more military parades and finally the invasion of France massive destruction of buildings fortifications bridges French aircraft and tanks; a crashed Messerschmitt Bf 109; captured British soldiers. 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
