The three items are in good condition on lightly-aged paper. ONE. Autograph Letter Signed from Haldane to Potter. Head Quarters VI Corp; 11 August 1916. 1p. 4to. In a difficult hand. He apologises for having to 'depart so hurriedly'. 'I want to thank you for the very loyal way you helped me when I was in command of the 3 Division and express my thanks through you to Buchanan and Prideaux and <Steer> of your staff. You all spared no pains to bring about success and I am very grateful to you.' He hopes that 'Buchanan will get a brevet and Prideaux a suitable <award> when you send in their names.' He is sending his recommendation 'to Collins'. TWO. Manuscript copy of address from the 'A. Haldane Lieutenant General Commanding VI Corps' expressing 'his intence sic admiration for the unconquerable spirit and Spartan like valour which the 3rd. Division has displayed during the fierce fighting of the past nine days. i.e. the start of the Spring Offensive'. 30 March 1918. 3pp. 4to.

At end: 'ed. A. Haldane. Lieutenant-General Commanding VI CORPS.' Begins: 'The acceptance by the enemy of the terms of the Armistice laid down by the Allies is a suitable moment at which to summarise the work of the VI Corps since the 21st of August 1918. On that date the Guards 2nd and 3rd Divisions assaulted the position where the enemy had been finally checked after his March offensive and broke through it the brunt of this attack falling on the 3rd and Guards Divsions. Two days later the 62nd Division joined the Corps. The enemy stubbornly opposed every year of our further advance eastward but was forced back to the ST. QUENTIN CANAL and the HINDENBURG Defence System.' Concludes: 'To all Ranks of the VI Corps I tender my sincere thanks. The work which they and their comrades have accomplished will live in the memory of the British Empire for all time.' From the Potter papers. An excessively scarce item with no copy on COPAC or at the Imperial War Museum. Autograph Letter to Potter: 'H[ea]d. Q[uarter]s. VIth. Corp. | 11th. August. 1916'. Copy of address to 3rd Division: [Head Quart unknown

AF Barnard [General Sir Andrew Francis Barnard (1773 – 1855) Irish British Army officer]: A F
General Andrew F. Barnard; Waterloo Substantial Autograph Letter Signed "A F Barnard" to "Wilson"
Sudbury 6 January 1841. Four pages 12mo bifolium fold marks some minor blotching mainly good condition. Text: Many thanks . I think one or possibly two Eagles Standards were found in the Coira by the Peasantry some time after the affair of Foz de Arouce but Lord J Somerset can give you accurate information on the subject. I have been looking into the Dukes Wellington's dispatches since I received your letter but cannot find any mention of them as yet I have a faint recollection of Colin Campbell having first mentioned it when the Dukes head quarters were near Elvas durinf the Ist Siege of Badajos. You will be happy to hear that our most gracious and kind Mistress is in excellent health see image for text at this point Postscript I have foundthe Eagle in page 78 - vol 8 of the Duke's despatches". Note: "Wilson" was perhaps "General Sir Robert Thomas Wilson 17 August 1777 – 9 May 1849 was a British general and politician who served in Flanders Egypt the Iberian Peninsula Prussia and was seconded to the Imperial Russian Army in 1812. He sat as the Whig Member of Parliament MP for Southwark from 1818 to 1831. He served as the Governor of Gibraltar from 1842 until his death in 1849." Wikipedia Sudbury, 6 January 1841 unknown

American War of Independence 1782. Manuscript folio leaf from British governmental War Office ledger of payments to 'David Thomas Esq. / Carolina' re General Leslie and the British Army of the South headed ‘Extraordinaries in North America’.
10 and 11 October 1782. London War Office Regarding Carolina North America. With other accounts from 1826 on reverse. A valuable artefact of the American War of Independence: a leaf from a British War or Colonial Office ledger detailing payments to officials in General Leslie’s administration in Carolina in 1782. Among many details are references to the Loyalist units the North Carolina Highlanders and New York Volunteers as well as to Colonel Probart Howarth Governor of Fort Johnson and to Colonel de Benning Friedrich von Benning Commander of James Island where one of the last Battles of the war at which Kosciuszko was nearly killed would take place a few days after the entries those of the entries in this ledger. 1p folio. On one side of a leaf of laid paper with fleur-de-lys armorial watermark. Worn and slightly discoloured with closed tear along central fold line repaired with archival tape. The leaf is evidently part of a ledger. It is numbered 19 and headed ‘99 / Extraordinaries in North America’ with the payments being to ‘David Thomas Esqr / Carolina’. The sums involved are substantial: the opening balance brought forward is for £214908 11s 9 1/2d and the closing balance to be carried forward being £216710 7s 7 1/2d. The leaf has been neatly ruled in red with columns for ‘Warrants’ subdivided into ‘by whom granted’ and ‘Dates’ details of payments and sums paid. The ten payments nine of them dating from 10 October and the last one from 11 October 1782 are all on warrants granted to ‘Lt. Genl. Leslie’. The first six entries are highly detailed and the seventh to the tenth are additions to the sixth. First for £111 5s 0d: ‘Paid Capt. John McKinnon Depy. Quar. Masr. Genl. witht. dedn. being his Pay at 10s/. a day & Pay for Lieutts. Rankin & Bard as actg. Depy. Quar. Masr. Genl. at 5s/. a day from 1st. July to 30th. Septr. 1782. also for Lieutt. Condner from 1st.

It was then folded four times into a packet dated ‘Sept 1. 1826’. See Image. 10 and 11 October 1782. [London, War Office?

Terry, Major Astley, of The Army Service Corp
The National Heraldry of the United Kingdom
Colombo Ceylon now Sri Lanka 1903. Half Morocco. Very Good. 8vo. 18.5 by 14.5 cm. iv 44 pp. the leaves made of heavy card stock. The author a colonial officer for the British army would later publish "The Annals of the King's Royal Rifle Corps" which contained his color illustrations of uniforms arms and equipment and other works. From this work it is clear he had artistic aptitude and as an officer in Ceylon undoubtedly a lot of free time to indulge in the creation of this work. It would seem that this work was written with an eye on possible publication but that did not come to be. Few will not be charmed by the many vignettes of badges and coats-of-arms mostly rendered in bright watercolors with some done as ink drawings. Also illustrated are flags and banners. Some of the tissue guards are heavily foxed while the cards proper sometimes have offsetting from this soiling. A large chipped loss to the leather spine with a partial loss of one letter of title. Still a very handsome album. unknown

This copy of the court martial transcript belonged to Hull's second in command Brig Gen. Duncan McArthur and includes the actual hand-written orders commanding him to attend and testify. McArthur's testimony was an essential and central part of the trial filling the entirety of pages 47 to 73. In it as well as numerous contemporary accounts his outrage against Hull's conduct as Commander of the Army of the Northwest during the War of 1812 including the entire campaign in and around Detroit which ended with Hull's surrender not only of Detrit and the forces directly under his command but for some reason of detached troops under McArthur's command which particularly enraged McArthur.

Army Air Forces Intelligence School
WORLD WAR II AVIATION PHOTOGRAPHY Aircraft Performance: Performance Data of Current Operational Aircraft
Harrisburg PA: Army Air Forces Intelligence School 1943. Very good. Quarto unpaginated about 100pp. illustrated with 83 original tipped-in photographs and an envelope containing 13 more loose and unidentified images laid-in. Housed in the original cardstock clasped folder. Many of the pages have a bottom fold which does not fully open without the potential to tear though all of the contents can be read with some effort. Some pages a touch foxed and a few prints are loosened from their pages and laid-in in the right place. Overall in very good condition. A well-organized and illustrated military textbook for a wartime class on aircraft identification which was probably taught in many places but organized at the US Army Air Force base in Harrisburg. An introductory sheet in perfect bureaucratic fashion placed near the end of this textbook states: "The course in Aircraft Identification consists of ten hours spaced over a period of six weeks." It goes on to list a series of 42 aircraft--American German Italian French and Japanese--which will be easily identified by all successful students by the end of the course. <br /> <br /> The first few dozen pages consist of detailed folding charts with data on dimensions payloads etc. Another section of about 12pp. gives a background on various best practices when trying to identify aircraft as well as some of the principles behind the course. <br /> <br /> The course utilized the "WEFT" system wings engine fuselage tail to help individuals soldiers intelligence agents etc. identify planes in the field from various angles at different heights and in certain contexts. Most of the pages dedicated to individual planes contain two photographs from different angles and with different shading trying to mimic real battlefield conditions under which someone might try to identify an aircraft.<br /> <br /> An unusually engaging wartime military textbook appealing to photography aviation and military collectors alike. Not located in OCLC thus notably absent in the holdings of the Army War College Library which retains most technical manuals and course books. Army Air Forces Intelligence School unknown

Camouflage Section, the Engineer Board [US Army]
Studies of Housing for a Dispersed Airdrome Camouflage Memorandum III
Fort Belvoir VA: Camouflage Section the Engineer Board US Army 1942. Staplebound. Near fine. Small quarto unpaginated 32pp. illustrated. A crisp clean copy near fine in the publisher's stapled wraps. Some pencil writing to wraps else clean. Very uncommon and well-illustrated WWII military volume which gives provisional designs and theoritical principles to undergird a military barracks/airfield which would be camouflaged as typical American buildings like homes or barns. probably one of thousands of similar studies which may have been used if the combat of World War II had come to American shores. OCLC locates three copies; 2 at US military institutions and another in Canada. Rare and likely of interest to architecture enthusiasts or geography scholars as much as military historians.

Northwest Service Command (US Army)
WORLD WAR II ALASKA WESTERN CANADA ENTERTAINMENT Northwest Service Command Presents Frosty Follies of 44: A Soldier Show show program
no place given possibly Fairbanks AK: Northwest Service Command US Army 1944. First Edition. Folded sheet. Very good. Square quarto. 4pp. Folded handbill measuring about 6.5" x 8" 16.5cm x 20cm when folded. In very good condition with an inch-long closed tear at the spine and gentle creasing to extremities. Rare ephemeral document from the wilds of Alaska and Western Canada during World War II. US servicemen in the Army Corps of Engineers along with their Canadian counterparts were enlisted to construct a highway between the Yukon Territory and Fairbanks Alaska in the event of military engagements in Alaska during World War II. This handbill is an excellent primary source which documents how they spent their time outside of their daily work. The "Frosty Follies of 44" was a kind of revue featuring soldiers from the outfit along with some "USO girls." Included on the rear wrap are the full lyrics to "Song of the Highway" which must have been a kind of anthem for those constructing the thing. Highly ephemeral; we note no holdings in OCLC and presume it to be a lone survivor. Great piece of World War II Alaskiana. [Northwest Service Command, US Army] unknown
