Sir Frederick Maurice [Sir John Frederick Maurice] (1841-1912), army officer and military theoretician and historian [Colonel Fr
Sir Frederick Maurice army officer and military theoretician. Autograph Letter Signed to Col. H. L. Oldham regarding a letter by Sir John Moore and personal matters.
Circa 1904 Bowden Two Mile Ash Horsham. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. The present item was probably written around the time of his 1904 edition of the diary of Sir John Moore. 3pp 12mo Thirty-three lines of text on bifolium of grey paper. In fair condition lightly aged and worn. Folded once. Annotated in red ink at head of first page: ‘Sir Frederick Maurice on Sir John Moore HLO had sent him a copy of a letter of Sir J. Moore fr. among the family Autographs.' Addressed to ‘Oldham’ and signed ‘F. Maurice’. He thanks him for sending Moore’s letter to Napoleon’s jailor Sir Hudson Lowe with reference to the Lowe correspondence in the British Museum. He elucidates the references in the letter: ‘The Corps is certainly the Corsicans. Gordon is the Military Secy. The reference is to Ferrol. Murati is an officer of the Corsican Rangers.’ He goes on to discuss one of Oldham’s suggestions about which he is not certain before turning to personal reminiscences: ‘I remember very well your being at the camp though I am ashamed to say I had forgotten in which battery you were.’ Should Oldham ever be ‘in the neighbourhood of West Kensington’ he hopes he will ‘look us up at 9 Gwendur sic Road’’ The Maurices will be returning to that ‘tiny’ house in three weeks and although ‘there is not much to tempt’ Oldham he will be welcome. [Circa 1904?] Bowden, Two Mile Ash, Horsham. unknown

['A Tommy'; Mesopotamia Campaign, British Army, First World War; Iraq; Indian Army; Ottoman Turks]:
The Campaign in Mesopotamia British Army First World War. Duplicated Typescript apparently contemporary of satirical poem by British soldier by ‘A Tommy’ titled ‘Alphabet of Mesopotamia’.
Without date or place but apparently written in Mesopotamia in late 1916. This poem is said to be an earlier work by ‘A Tommy’ the pseudonymous author of the collection ‘If I Goes West’ published in London by Harrap in 1918. WorldCat has no entries to support a second claim: that the present poem was published in 1917 with the subtitle ‘Verses written by a “Tommy†who has fought suffered and triumphed in Mesopotamia and is still on active service there’. While there is no indication that the poem has ever been published in its entirety extracts from it appeared in ‘The Bystander’ 27 November 1916; and ‘The Near East’ 6 July 1917; the latter headed ‘An Alphabet from Mesopotamia’ being preceded by the following: ‘A member of our Fighting Forces in Mesopotamia has composed some verses which he entitles “ The Alphabet of Mesopotamia.†Through the kindness of a correspondent we are allowed to reproduce here some specimens’. There may also be a reference in Catherine W. Reilly’s 1978 bibliography ‘English Poetry of the First World War’. Duplicated typescript titled ‘ALPHABET OF MESOPOTAMIA.’ 2pp foolscap 8vo. Text complete on two leaves of air mail paper glued together. Apparently contemporary and with the look of an item that has been handed around the mess room. Twenty-six four-line stanzas: one for each letter of the alphabet apart from a joint stanza for S and T and ending with an ‘ENVOI’. The first stanza reads: ‘ “A†Was an apple that grew so they say In the Garden of Eden down Qurnah way Till Eve came along and ate it one day And got thrown out of Mesopotamia.’ The poem includes the following stanzas: ‘ “F†Stands for Fritz who flies in the sky To bring down the brute we’ve many a try But the shells that we shoot seem to all pass him by And fall --- on Mesopotamia.’ ‘ “J†Is the jam with the label that lies And states that in Paris it won the first prize But out here we use it for catching the flies That swarm in Mesopotamia.’ ‘ “U†Is the Lake we call Umm-el-Brahm And guards our flanks from all possible karm sic And waters Gorringe’s Barley Farm In the middle of Mesopotamia.’ ‘ “V†Is the Victory we won at Dujailah I heard of it first from a friend who’s a sailor Who read it in Reuter’s on board a mahela On the Tigris in Mesopotamia.’ ‘ “W†Stands for the wonder and pain With which we regard the infirm and insane Old Indian Generals who guide the campaign Which we’re waging in Mesopotamia.’ ‘ “Y†Is the yearning we feel every day For a passage to Basra and thence to Bombay If we get there we’ll see that we stay right away From this wilderness - Mesopotamia.’ Without date or place, but apparently written in Mesopotamia in late 1916. unknown
