CAPTAIN GPD. PEASE, ROYAL MARINE G. P.
1939 - 1940 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY DETAILING THE ONSET OF WORLD WAR II AND THE ROYAL NAVY'S RUSH TO ENGAGE THE ENEMY FROM THE UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE OF A CAPTAIN OF THE ROYAL MARINES
ABOARD THE HMS HERMES. Good. 1939. On offer is a sensational 1939 to 1940 manuscript relic of Britain's naval war with Germany at the immediate outset of World War II being an original diary handwritten by Captain G.P.D. Pease Royal Marine aboard the ill-fated HMS Hermes. The diary begins October 7th a mere month after the declarations of war between England and Germany 1939 with sporadic entries from October until mid-December and then another long entry in June of 1940 covering 19 folio sized 8" x 13" pages. Two later pages have damage as if glued pictures were removed with some small loss but not terrible. The ship arrives in Dakar French West Africa to cooperate with the French Navy in hunting German raiders which they then proceed to do. At one point he is invited to go up in an aircraft as an observer. Upon returning they slide across the deck and crash upside down in the sea below. He and the other two aboard were able to escape into a life raft and were rescued. He has a very long entry about this as well as a photo of them being rescued. The long June 1940 entry is interesting as it details the confusion as to what to do with the French Naval ships around them as they don't know what their allegiance is after the capitulation of the French government at that time and the establishment of the Vichy French government loyal to Germany. The Hermes was later sunk in action in 1942. Tucked in are two telegrams from the Admiralty announcing destruction of Graf Spee off Montevideo another regarding HMS Ajax ten Captain's remarks certificates all highly complimentary of his of his abilities dated 1940 - 1957 and his 1938 report card and successful passing to rank of Captain of the Royal Marines. Later he served on the HMS Superb St. Angelo and Implacable. Included are a few miscellaneous photos as well.

ASEA ABOARD THE HMS ROYAL YACHT SERAPIS TO INDIA. Good. 1875. On offer is a superb manuscript relic of Victorian Era travel detailing a well documented trip by H R H Prince Edward and various dignitaries to India traveling by way of HMS Royal Yacht Serapis. The journal of the trip begins with the author we believe to be M. Harwell Royal Marine as was marked the chest from which this manuscript was rescued though we note a later childish hand circa 1900s wrote the name of Kenneth Ellicott among other scribbles and drawings a later relative we suspect being based on a hulk in Portsmouth awaiting the ship being prepared for the 9 month voyage. Researchers and historians of Victorian travel or the global politics and commerce behind this trip will relish the large folio sized 12½ x 8½ inch 86 well filled pages with super detail by this crew man giving good account of movements of crew HRH visitors deaths accidents in harbor receiving gifts such as ostriches.

HIRAM PARKER Jr. US NAVY ENGINEER
1866 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY AND JOURNAL OF US NAVAL ENGINEER VETERAN OF THE CIVIL WAR AND WITNESS TO ONE OF THE MOST DESTRUCTIVE WARS IN SOUTH AMERICA EVER
ASEA ABOARD USS DACOTAH BRAZIL FALKLAND IS. Fair. 1866. On offer is a super original 1866 manuscript relic of maritime and naval history being a journal handwritten by US Navy Asst. Engineer Hiram Parker Jr. Dated January 26th 1866 and ending on May 13th 1866 Parker details his voyage on the noted gunboat USS Dacotah to Rio de Janiero Medina Brazil and last entries were from the Faulkland sometimes Falkland Islands known as the Malvinas Islands to most South Americans. Parker and his ship arrive at the height of the intense and horrific "Great War of La Plata" 1864 - 1870 a war against Paraguay which was the bloodiest and most expensive in South American history. Parker does a super job observing and detailing the people the sights and of course matters of interest to a US seaman but first and foremost he spends most of his time describing the culture the people and the politics of Brazil. This is a 7" x 8 1/2" journal has narrative on 86 pages most are full pages. He mentions one young crew member being hit on the head by a sheet block while asleep cracking his skull and killing him also diving boys off ship for coins different machine repairs to the ship but our author has a lovely way with words and carries his love for Country and the ship on his sleeve: "We have indeed been having some rough weather. How the wind did blow & how high the waves ran. I never saw either excelled in all my precious sea going. Ur little craft showed herself equal to the emergency though she experienced a terrible rolling. American oak and iron and American hearts under the American ensign protected by the God of Nations should be equal to any emergency." Each page is filled with interesting observations when they reach Brazil from the holiday for the Emperor's grandson to entries like this: "Acting Master Price was buried in Potters field for the Catholics never permit Protestants to be buried in their cemeteries." This diary is really outstanding for bringing the reader right into the heart of Brazil through the eyes of an heroic 25 year old American veteran of the Civil War with the soul of a poet. BIO NOTES: one online source provides: Birth: Oct. 4 1841 Death: Feb. 17 1918. Civil War Union Naval Officer. Third Assistant Engineer 16 November 1861. Second Assistant Engineer 25 August 1863.

ALFRED FREDERICK BELL WOODHOUSE, COMMANDER ROYAL NAVY
1911 1914 - 1915 SUPERB ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY A KEENLY OBSERVANT AND DEDICATED DIARIST OF THIS BRITISH NAVAL COMMANDER'S SERVICE IN THE EARLY YEARS OF WORLD WAR I
ASEA. Good. 1911. On offer is the original pre-World War I and early commencement of the War manuscript diary of Commander Alfred Frederick Bell "AFB" Woodhouse Royal Navy. Entries date from June - August 1911 and May 1914 - April 1915 providing a unique pre-War commentary and then leading up to the actual conflict. Woodhouse begins on HMS Fantome off north west coast of Australia surveying: ".Shifted camp to Byron Islands for 4 days. Got there by 11am. Comber went away sounding in steamboat. I first saw the camp rigged up & then went away coastlining in 2 whaler.Away coastlining again at 7am nearly finished Byron Islands by evening. Enormous number of small islands had to be put in.Coastlining longcreek about 5 miles in & then small mangrove swamp.Dozens of flies about appallingly stung.Practically no sleep last night owing to bites. Away 7am started near Beehive. Fixed one point & when turning found myself in whirlpool pass. Went down with flood. Whaler hole in side. Camp - no rum no sugar no flour no tea very little water.". Then HMS Research May 1914 off Ireland and Scotland: ".Weighed at 9.30 after the first mail had come on board & proceeded to the entrance to Wexford. Picked up tide pole & then to Blackwater Bank. Went away in motor boat with Hazlefoot but too misty to see anything. Returned at 3.30 & ship started for Larne. Then HMS King Alfred August 1914: ".After dinner joined King Alfred from Research as my war appointment.We are at present ammunitioning & getting ready as quickly as possible. Invincible in harbour. List of officers.12 Midnight War declared against Germany.My first gun crew do not appear to know much about their drill but they are enthusiastic which is something & I have an excellent gun-layer.Submarine gun crews told off & stationed.Everyone pleased we are getting away but do not know where we are to go. Azores seems popular.Received orders to proceed to Scapa Flow.Ships here are all King Edwards 1st Battle Cruiser Squadron. Drake & 2 Edgar Cyclops & a good number of scouts light cruisers & destroyer. All are painted light grey in different parts & black elsewhere so as to be difficult to take ranges on & also distinguishes them very well.We are painting our funnels & masts light grey & are chipping as much paint as possible off the ship.proceeded round west of Orkneys. At about 11.30 the Drake stopped a Russian barquentine but allowed her to proceed later. We stood by for firing practise.The Drake stopped & boarded a Norweigan steamer but let her proceed afterwards. Sighted a battle cruiser in evening. Heard that a German submarine had been sighted.Received news that German ships were in Norweigan fjords. Ordered by c-in-c to support Alsatian who is to patrol 20 miles from coast.Sighted Alsatian an enormous liner carrying as far as I could see only 8 4.7in or 6in. One shell would probably finish her.In afternoon intercepted signal from c-in-c to destroyers to attack enemies submarines which were apparently sheltering in Linza Sound Stronsea Orkney Is.Our army according to Poldhu message has held its own in Belgium but has had 2000 casualties German losses unknown but believed to be very heavy.Heard the Monarch had a torpedo fired at her which only just missed.Sighted Drake in dog watches she told us that 1 BCS had had a scrap on friday morning with a good deal of success. Light cruisers destroyers & 1 BCS raided near Heligoland & intercepted German cruisers & destroyers returning on friday early. Result 2 German L cruisers & 2 destroyers sunk 1 L cruiser & several destroyers badly damaged.At 6.30 suddenly sounded off night defence stations. Falmouth had seen a submarine following the G into harbour & had waited till her conning tower came up & then fired at her. She says she hit her twice.Superb fired twice at supposed submarine.First shots fired in earnest today.We have received orders to convoy floating dock from Pentland Firth to Cromarty.The Pathfinder & Speedy have been blown up by mines but little loss of life.Got news that the Aboukir was sunk by submarine & that the Hague & Cressy going to her assistance were also sunk. It appears that a flotilla of submarines attacked them. 21 is the first score to their submarines. Ships are not much but loss of life was heavy I believe.Ships company & officers warned by captain about spreading any information about movements of ships or anything else.Proceeding to the HMS Devonshire October 1914 ".Drove to Scabster in a motor lorry got the mail packet at 4am to go to Scapa Flow. Arrived 7am got on board at 9am The Anglia one of the LNWR steamers which is acting as a fleet .There was a big submarine scare during the day & all ships have left. Destroyers were hunting the submarines & say they got 3 but I rather doubt it.Went to a funeral in charge.Received orders to proceed on board Cyclops for passage to Devonshire in the Dryad.At 7pm the Dryad ran on to the rocks near Stromness.By 6pm I was on board the Devonshire after a week trying to get to her.I am to be tanky & prize officer & keep 4 watches.Proceeded on 24th 4pm & swept down to Heligoland way. Our aeroplanes bombed Cushaven & ships there on christmas day.Rear Admiral Pakenham hoisted his flag in Devonshire.Rendezvous with grand fleet & proceeded southward. Battle cruisers & light cruisers fought an action with German B Cruisers sinking the Blucher & severely damaging Deiflinger & Molke. We chased after them.The Lion was badly damaged by mine or torpedo as well as gun fire. The ships hit were only Lion 18 times Tiger 3 times the rest not at all.There are some dummy ships in harbour Liverpool with wooden turrets & superstructures they are very good imitations from a little distance.Left Scapa Flow & joined 3rd CS at sea. While proceeding into harbour on afternoon of 14th we passed down a whole line of submarines each one near a sailing ship painted white. We opened fire at them all but I dont think hit. They did not seem to fire at us but one cannot be sure.". Covers measure approx 7 1/4" x 4 3/4" 18cm x 12cm Cloth bound with 91 sides of entries.

JOHN RING, ROYAL MARINE
1914 - 1918 WW1 ORIGINAL HANDWRITTEN JOURNAL OF A ROYAL MARINE STATIONED AND PATROLLING IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND EAST INDIES CONTAINING BOTH DETAILED AND FASCINATING DIARY ENTRIES OF AND COMPREHENSIVE LISTS OF NAVAL FACTS AND FIGURES
HMS FOX HMS PROSERPINE RED SEA INDIA EAST INDIES. Good. 1914. On offer is a detailed and eclectic book made by John Ring a Royal Marine Number 1520 during World War 1 on the H.M.S. Fox and H.M.S. Proserpine. The book contains journal entries of Rings time on the H.M.S. Fox in active duty and experiencing naval warfare. His entries are presented in a fairly matter-of-fact way with few sentence breaks. For example: H.M.S. Fox 9th June 1915. Join H.M.S. Fox at Ismailia on the 9th and stayed at at Ismailia from June 9th until the 1st of August and went from thier to the Great Bitter Lake and remained their until August 20th and then sailed for Suez and arrived in Suez on Aug 22nd and stayed their until Aug 31st and then left Suez for the Great Bitter Lake and remained their for a week and while we were their we captured two Turkish mines and kept them on board our ship for a night or two and about two mornings afterwards Sept 4 we towed them 4 Hundread miles from the Ship and about one hour after The Signal was made from our ship to press the Button and about two days later we found another Turkish mines and also did the same to that. For the rest of 1915 Ring is one the Fox as it patrols the area Suez Canal area from the canal to Port Said. From the Fox Ring moves to the H.M.S. Proserpine. On the Proserpine Ring does much of the same as he did on the Fox patrolling the Suez Canal rescuing ships that have run aground and occasionally coming into combat: The natives fired back to us and in their firing about the fourth round it was reported that the gunner was blown over and killed and another man had his arm blown off. The ship stays on the Shatt-al-Arab River for 4 months than leaves for India first docking at Bombay and then moving on to Colombo. While we were at Colombo we went to the Royal Naval Camp at Diyatalawa Ceylon and their are some interesting places to go at Ceylon about 200 years from the camp were were at was the Camp while the Boer War was on they sent the prisoners to Ceylon and another place was Little England. After this last diary entry the book takes on a less narrative identity. The rest of the journal consists of page after page of incredibly interesting and comprehensive lists of things concerning military casualties and other matters. The lists contain headings such as Norwegian Ships Sunk Enemys Lost Airships British Steamers Torpedoed and Sunk British Ships Sunk by German Raiders Soldiers Deaths in Quelling Rebellion concerning the 1916 Irish Rebellion commonly referred to as Easter Rising These are Marine Officers lost in the Battle he does not write it but he is referring to the Battle of Heligoland Bight the first naval battle of WW1 H.M.S. Ships Lost and Sunk in the Great War and many other lists of naval ships lost in the war usually containing the name of the ship the size in tonnage the date commissioned and/or destroyed and occasionally the crew size type of guns used and/or the name of the Captain. There are long lists of ships sunk from almost all the Allied Power countries. There are also news stories about the hanging of Sir Roger Casement the sinking of the Dreadnought Leonardo Da Vinci the H.M.S. King George VII and other stories related to the war copied down probably word for word from a newspaper. Though Ring was born in Essex the stories of Sir Roger Casement and the entry about the deaths in the Irish rebellion make it seem that Ring might have had some Irish sympathies or was possibly just interested in the Rebellion as a military matter. There are also about two dozen loose pieces of ephemera include with the book dealing with John Rings entire life and career the earliest dated 1896 and the latest 1955. Included are: A Naval Marriage Certificate of John Ring to Margaret Carr from 1920 on board the H.M.S. Hercules; 2 certificates of service detailing Rings entire military career from 1905-1932 with the earlier certificate showing a complete list of the ships Ring served on from 1905 to 1924 both certificates contain much personal information including Date and Location of Birth Religion Next of Kin and physical characteristics; many newspaper clippings concerning WW1 and WW2 with quite a few political cartoons as well. The book is in very good condition without any noticeable signs of wear and tear. For an unknown reason the cover reads O.R. Wace H.M.S. Swiftsure East Indies. Rings service record has no record of him stationed on the Swiftsure. The handwriting is clean and easy to read. It is 84 pages in length.; Manuscript; Folio - over 12" - 15" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF JOHN RING ROYAL MARINE MARINE NUMBER 1520 H.M.S FOX H.M.S.
