1879réf. 195729Bolarum: Printed at the Assistant Adjutant General's Press 1879. A commandant's copy First edition of this rare piece of militaria the copy of Colonel later Lieutenant-General Thomas Trevor Turton commandant 5th Infantry Hyderabad Contingent. Only a small number of copies were printed - two to each regiment and one to each battery in addition to those for senior officers - and we have traced none in institutional libraries or in commerce. Turton 1830-1904 commissioned into the 47th Regiment Native Infantry in 1848 and served in the Indian Army for the next four decades. In 1855 shortly after the formation of the Hyderabad Continent Infantry he saw action in its campaign against the Rohillas. Having become second-in-command of the 5th Infantry in 1867 he was promoted to lieutenant-colonel in 1874 and took overall command the same year. The text is annotated by Turton in several places in one case on a tipped-in slip to incorporate revisions to the standing orders one from May 1881 notes that "on no account are orderlies furnished to staff or other officers to appear out of uniform at any time while on duty" p. 41. A letterpress addendum is tipped in opposite page 56. Turton's printed ownership label and neat contemporary inscription are on the front cover or title page. Kaul's union catalogue cites a single copy of an edition with the same title from 1889 but does not record this edition. Octavo 205 x 132 mm. Recent dark half calf dark purple spine label original blue printed card wrappers bound in binder's ticket of Period Bookbinders Bath. Small 20th-century ink numerical notation at head of title page. Light browning and foxing internally as expected: a very good copy. Kaul 859 for 1889 edition. unknown
1939réf. 192368Edinburgh: 1939-45. Digging for victory A small but evocative collection tracing the war work of the artist Mary Paton who served with the Women's Land Army in Scotland throughout the Second World War. The highlight of the collection is a pair of standard-issue corduroy breeches made by Redman Bros in January 1943. Other than a couple of small oil stains to the right inner thigh they are well-preserved and have been supplemented with non-standard leather reinforcing patches to the inner knees. Two certificates in the collection are addressed to "Frances M. R. Paton" the full name of Mary Paton 1920-1990 who studied at the Edinburgh College of Art before and after the war and later lived in Aberdeenshire. A letter of thanks records her service as having lasted from 11 October 1939 to 10 October 1945 while the two WLA armbands show her service at 3 1/2 and 5 1/2 years respectively. The collection also includes two enamelled WLA lapel badges and a silver gelatine photograph showing a young woman with "Mave. Freiburg '37" inscribed on the verso. Together eight items: one pair of corduroy breeches with leather reinforcing patches two certificates 241 x 190 mm written and printed on rectos only two WLA brassards 83 x 347 mm one silver gelatine photo 86 x 57 mm two WLA brass and enamel badges 35 x 24 mm.

réf. 140779Very Good. A commercial photograph album 225 × 320 mm containing 163 snapshot photographs mainly 57 × 70 mm or 64 × 90 mm loosely mounted behind photo-corners on 24 leaves mainly on the rectos with captions regularly throughout the album. A postcard-format studio portrait of the compiler is attached to the front pastedown and he has identified himself in a number of photographs. In one snapshot he is standing with former German Olympic boxer Hans Schönrath 1902-1945 who has signed the photograph in ink. Cord-bound boards covered with coarsely-woven multi-coloured fabric; extremities a little rubbed and bumped with minor wear to some corners; patterned tissue-guards occasionally chipped and torn; minimal signs of age and use including a few loose snapshots - and only a handful appear to be no longer present; overall in excellent condition. The portrait has a personal inscription on the verso unfortunately not fully identifying the subject. The snapshots are basically in chronological order with the first group captioned 'R.A.D. 1937'. 'The Reichsarbeitsdienst RAD or National Empire Labour Service had its origins with the formation of a volunteer labour force that was created to off-set the high unemployment before the Nazis came to power. Work camps were set up to house these volunteers sponsored by the government administration in 1931. Under Hitler's leadership service in the RAD was obligatory for all males of 17-25 years of age for a period of six months from 26 June 1935' Imperial War Museum. Next follows a period of military training at Neuhammer; a number of photographs in this part of the album suggest the young man may have had training as a chef. There are about 40 photographs of the young man working or training in camps in barracks or at ease. The majority of the photographs depict the unstoppable and destructive course of the German army as it embarks on the occupation of Czechoslovakia fortifications captured tanks and aircraft military parades in the presence of Herman Goering and Sudetenland the invasion of Poland deployed troops destroyed or burning buildings demoralised civilians and more military parades and finally the invasion of France massive destruction of buildings fortifications bridges French aircraft and tanks; a crashed Messerschmitt Bf 109; captured British soldiers. unknown
1945réf. 2442Bad Wildungen Germany: Tac Echelon HQ 12th Army Group 1945. First Edition. Single Sheet Paper. Very Good Plus/4-mil clear mylar envelope. This is an ORIGINAL folded MAP showing the travels of the "Tac Echelon" Headquarters 12th Army Group in WWII through England France Luxenbourg Belgium and Germany from 15 July 1944 through 9 May 1945. On the verso of the map is the description of the "VICTORY IN EUROPE" Dinner Dance presented in honor of General Omar N. Bradley by the Officers of Tac Echelon Headquarters 12th Army Group at the Hotel Furstenhof in Bad Wildungen Germany on 12 May 1945; i.e. 4 days after the Surrender of Germany. The document is SIGNED in ink by General Omar Bradley "O N Bradley". The map measures 11 1/2" x 20" opened and 6 3/4" x 5 1/2" folded. One of the MOST REMARKABLE MAPS of WW2 the map was hand-drawn by an artist who signs his name RWD in the print. The document was produced by "Engr. Repro. Det. 12 A Gp." The map shows the various locations of the Headquarters 12th Army Group during its progress in combat in WWII from the "Staging Area" in England to Bad Wildungen Germany. Beverages are described for most of the locations ending in "V-E Specials" for Germany. We believe this map was distributed at the dinner dance celebrating the "Victory in Europe" just 4 days after the War in Europe ended and was signed by General Bradley at the dinner. The 12th Army Group was the largest military formation of the United States in the history of the Country. The 12th Army Group was deactivated shortly afterward on July 12 1945 upon General Bradley’s departure to become Director of the Veterans Administration. NOTE: This map will be accompanied by a CERTIFICATE OF PROVENANCE dated and signed by Debbie Chapman Luckinbill certifying that the map was brought home as a souvenir by her aunt the late Helen Chapman who was a member of Red Cross Clubmobile Group C which served in Europe during WW2. Red Cross Clubmobiles were large food trucks which were driven by Red Cross women to troop assembly areas where the women would open up the sides and serve doughnuts coffee and snacks to the fighting men. We have not found this map anywhere on the internet or other research. The map is foldedrubbed and lightly soiled from handling but is Very Good or better and now in a 4mil clear mylar protective envelope. Tac Echelon, HQ 12th Army Group unknown

1944réf. 240421944. Women's Army Corps photo archive documenting service and personal relationships during World War II and its immediate aftermath partially identified and captioned. Established in 1943 following its auxiliary predecessor the WAC gave women military status within the Army. These portraits and snapshots document the service life relationships friendships and recreational activities accompanying women's expanding military participation. Photo archive of 28 black and white photographs including studio portraits and vernacular snapshots with one WAC recruitment brochure circa 1944-1946. Des Moines Iowa; Philadelphia Pennsylvania; Chicago Illinois; San Diego California; and Italy. Several women recur throughout some identified en verso. 9 photos trace to a woman named Sylvia; she appears in uniformed portraits and aboard a boat during an outing captioned "Boat Trip to Provincetown June 1946" Massachusetts. Another photograph places her at Fort Devens Massachusetts in March 1946; a portrait mount bears a photographic-service sticker from Camp Edward Massachusetts. Particularly noteworthy is the stamp on the reverse of her portrait reading "Compliments / Boston / Jewish Welfare Board / Army & Navy Club" documenting a connection with Jewish military welfare services without establishing her religious identity. One photo shows a woman standing before the U.S. Grant Hotel in San Diego. One photo shows a woman smiling in uniform with the en verso written caption "July - 44 / me - by the lake Chicago - beforer going on duty." Another photo shows a group of WACs in a military vehicle being driven by a man in uniform signs in the distance read in Italian. Other named women include "Lorraine Montecarlo" and "Barbara Bobby Evans. Another set of photos showcase a WAC in a domestic setting with a sailor. The accompanying recruitment brochure declares "The Army needs more WACs at once!" and that "Every eligible woman is needed!" The WAC's establishment in July 1943 granted its members military status and Army pay and benefits replacing the more limited protections of auxiliary service. Their work helped sustain Army operations at home and overseas while opening military occupations to women on an unprecedented scale. Handwritten identifications and dated captions connect the portraits with particular places and social occasions. Some toning and edge wear with mounting remnants on some versos and pronounced corner wear to one print. Prints and captions remain legible and clear. Overall in very good condition. This archive preserves the intimate and active duty lives of just some of the 150000 women that served in the Women's Army Corps and its auxiliary predecessor during World War II. unknown
