Oblong 8vo. Highly competent album of drawings of fortifications mines and elevations by the young Kitchener while a student at the Royal Military Academy Woolwich. Kitchener 1850-1916 born in Ireland to English parents and raised in Switzerland spent "an undistinguished two years" at the Royal Military Academy. When he progressed to the School of Military Engineering Chatham he began to distinguish himself. He worked with the Palestine Exploration Fund and on the survey of Cyprus and gained a reputation as a man who knew the Near East. "In 1884 he acted as an intelligence officer for the relief expedition sent to the Sudan to rescue Charles George Gordon; he continually pressed Wolseley the commander of the expedition to push forward more rapidly. Despite the expedition's failure to save Gordon Kitchener emerged with credit and some fame." He was named sirdar or commander of the Egyptian army in 1892 and instituted needed reforms. Under his leadership Anglo-Egyptian forces defeated the Mahdist armies in the Sudan in 1898 avenging Gordon's death and reconquering the country. Kitchener's administrative talents came to the fore in the South African War where superior transportation and the policy of destroying farms and interning Boer civilians in concentration camps prevailed against the guerrilla tactics of the Boer forces. In his role as secretary of state for war in 1914 his advocacy of preparations for a long and global conflict defined British policy. A choice item from early in the career of this larger than life and still controversial figure. unknown

ref. 43576Sir Charles Moore 1844-1916 Army Officer Engineer and Administrator saying that he has "probably heard that I am to replace you at Souakin. I am very sorry you should leave & would never have accepted the billet had my not doing so been of the least service to you. The way it came about was on my arrival at Suez old West came on board with a telegram stating H.M. Govt wanted to know if I would accept Souakin & if so to wire to Wolff. I asked about you but could find out nothing and I felt sure you had resigned so I wired yes and wet to Alexandria & saw Wolff he then told me and I said that changed the matter but he said if I now refused there was another waiting for the post. I went up to Cairo and saw Gen Stephenson and he told me the same & that I could do you no good and would do myself much harm by refusing. He also said what I hope was the case that he was sure you would see it in the same light. I came home & saw DAG on the subject & Sir R. Thomson and found out an R.A. officer had accepted if I refused the billet and would be appted at once. I hope you think I have done right and I know you will never doubt how much rather I would like it if you could remain supposing you wish to do so." 4 sides 8vo. Junior United Service Club London 18th August In 1874 aged 24 Kitchener was assigned by the Palestine Exploration Fund to a mapping-survey of the Holy Land. By then an officer in the Royal Engineers Kitchener joined fellow officer Claude R. Conder; between 1874 and 1877 they surveyed Palestine returning to England only briefly in 1875 after an attack by locals at Safed in Galilee. Conder and Kitchener's expedition became known as the Survey of Western Palestine because it was largely confined to the area west of the Jordan River. In 1878 having completed the survey of western Palestine Kitchener was sent to Cyprus to undertake a survey of that newly acquired British protectorate. He became vice-consul in Anatolia in 1879. Sutherland was also in the Royal Engineers and worked under Kitchener in Cyprus for 6 years ending in 1886. Kitchener became Governor of the Egyptian Provinces of Eastern Sudan and Red Sea Littoral which in practice consisted of little more than the Port of Suakin in September 1886 He was created Earl Kitchener of Khartoum and of Broome in the County of Kent on June 29th 1914. Unusually provision was made for the title to be passed on to his brother and nephew since Kitchener was not married and had no children. unknown
ref. 40875starting "will be able to come and if so perhaps you could bring a shorthand-writer to take down what Togo and Nogi say to be published subsequently in your paper. I am telling them to address the boys as to what Bushido is and what it has done for them in Japan." the postscript says that if he has "any difficulty but about a short hand writer I could provide one from here" signed with an initial 'K' 1 side 4to. no place no date but Bushid are regulations for samurai attitudes behavior and lifestyle.

Marshal-Admiral the Marquis T g Heihachir 1848-1934 served as admiral of the fleet in the Imperial Japanese Navy and became one of Japan's greatest naval heroes.

Nogi is significant to Scouting in Japan as in 1911 he went to England in attendance on Prince Higashifushimi Yorihito for the coronation of King George V.
