rif. 131661Very Good. A single leaf octavo printed recto only slightly marked with a marginal crease to a top corner; two light horizontal creases where folded for posting; in very good condition. The invitation headed '9th L.H.O.C.A.' 9th Light Horse Old Comrades Association invites members to give a hearty welcome to the old commanding officer Colonel William Henry Scott 1881-1960 who 'will be in Adelaide for a few days this month on a visit to his son'. The date for the event is not given but we suggest some time in the 1920s as Scott 'rose to brigadier in 1929' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. Darley writes presumably as president of the association that 'it will be quite informal come along in your working clothes or anyhow you like and you need not get your hair cut for the occasion. If you clean your boots be sure to use NUGGET. Refreshments liquid only will be provided'. The ADB provides the answer to the unasked question: 'Scott contributed items to the "Bulletin" under the pseudonym of "Nugget" an ironic nickname considering his great height'.

rif. 3726497New York City 1907. Two-page program. Approx. 14 x 10 inches. Reverse bifolium. Laid paper; deckle edge along bottom. Folds; faint foxing; very good. Humorous fun-spirited program for the First Annual Gymkhana or field day held by the Ninth Company Company “I” of New York’s Seventh Regiment a National Guard equestrian unit. The late summer excursion took members of the regiment by boat from Manhattan to Glenwood-on-the-Sound Nassau County Long Island. In addition to a “Rhode Island Clam Bake” the complete menu is printed here—from “Clams! Clams! Clams!” to “Smoke” the day’s activities included various aquatic races and an assortment of traditional field events or picnic games—a parody of military and cavalry exercises. "The Steamboat “Cymbria” having docked at Glenwood-on-the-Sound themerrie companie will disembark and proceed gaily to gambol upon the sandy beach. The aquatic ones will don bathing suits and participate in the following aquatic events: 1. Boat Race en surprise. Conditions to be unknown. 3. Swimming Race. Each contestant to wear top hat coat trousers and shoes and to carry an open umbrella. 4. Tub Race. 6. “United Service” Race. Contestants will mount horses at the starting point ride to the beach dismount enter boats and row to the finish." At 4 o’clock there was a running of the “Porter House Stakes; for 10-year-olds and upward” a sham horse race: "A veterinary will be in attendance to administer “hop” beer in extreme cases. No horse will be left at the barrier if a hypodermic can prevent it. Eligible Starters: Pegasus Latrine…Rip Van Winkle Methuselah and Skelington i.e. skeleton. " Traditional picnic games followed: climbing a greased pole tug-of-war “Potato sack Race” catching a greased pig here “Lubricated Pork” “Reconnaissance Hamiltonian” finding a lemon in tall grass and an egg race. Tickets were $5.00: “Please send check immediately to Sergt. Palmer A. Paddock 196 Montague St. Brooklyn.” New York’s Seventh Regiment was comprised of members of New York’s social élite. The regiment was formed before the American Civil War; its ninth company—Company I—was a cavalry unit. A printed historiated initial is the sole illustration; it depicts a mounted charging cavalry soldier with saber and the regimental motto: “Toujours Prêt”—always ready. unknown

rif. 3733807Metz Alsace-Lorraine German Empire: Gebrüder Notton Römerstr. 10 1908. Composite silver process photograph. Mount: 18¾ x 23½ inches. Image: 14¼ x 17¾ inches. Light rubbing to edges of mount with minor wear at bottom right; margins foxed; small mark at bottom extending faintly into image; very good. This is a rich and complex composite photograph from 1908 captioned with the words “Zur Erinnerung an Meine Dienstzeit” which translates to “In remembrance of my service time.” It was created for the 10th Company 8th Württemberg Infantry Regiment Grand Duke Frederick of Baden’s Regiment—possibly light infantry as in “Jäger infanterieregiment.” This regiment was based in Strasbourg in Alsace-Lorraine and served within the Imperial German Army. The surnames of these men are: Baibel Baierl Bauer Berger Jos. Burger Joh. Bumb Büchel Dirr Dirschedl Echtler Feibler Forster Fuchs Gaibl Ganslmeier Gundel Habender Hagl Haub Haüselmeier Herzog Hiemer Huber Jacob Janker Keim Kirchbauer Klemm Knott Kopp Kraus Kreckl Kübel Laubhardt Laubenbacher Lautner Lippert Maier Joh. Maier Seb. Merkel Miehling Moosburger Petermann Pfeilschifter Pflug Prior Rachl Rauschecker Ries Rommel Schmid Schmidt Schnabel Scholz Schraudolf Schweiber Stegmeier Sutter Ulm Weber Weindl Wenniger Wohlfarth Zieringer Zeilinger Zirngibl. The photograph presents a multitude of uniformed soldiers in a staged setting designed to resemble a military encampment or a gathering. The arrangement of soldiers is not casual but highly structured with officers shown with swords and details prominently positioned in the foreground. Many of the men are shown hoisting enormous beer steins with rather serious expressions. The photograph also features regimental flags and other military regalia which were symbols of pride and unity for the unit. The arrangement of soldiers in rows with some seated and others standing is typical of military portraiture of the time intended to display the order and discipline of the troops. The backdrop of the photograph features a bucolic scene a blend of a real outdoor setting and painted backdrops. This kind of photography allowed for the superimposition of studio-taken images onto a different background giving the impression that all individuals were present at a single location. Such methods were used to create cohesive unit photographs when it was not possible to gather everyone at once. The inclusion of phrases like “Mit Gott für König und Vaterland” With God for King and Fatherland reinforces the patriotic sentiment of the era and the soldiers’ commitment to their country and monarch. Other phrases such as “Die Well ist grofs Die Welt ist schön; Wer weifs ob wir uns wiedersehn!” “The world is big the world is beautiful; Who knows if we will see each other again!” reinforce the romanticism of military service. From a photographic history perspective the image represents the advancements in photo montage techniques at the turn of the 20th century. The image quality clarity and composition indicates that the photographers Gebruder Notton used a large-format camera which was capable of capturing detailed group portraits. A rather remarkable photograph encapsulating the military ethos of the German Empire during a period of intense nationalism and militarism leading up to the First World War. unknown
