Un feuillet manuscrit ancien, en fin de volume, donne les dates de promotions de 22 gardes, entre 1729 et 1734. Bel exemplaire (malgré des défauts d'usage, charnière du premier plat fendue dans le haut sur 6 mm, coins usés, petite trace noire sur le second plat, dorure des tranches en partie effacée, une brunissure sur une tranche et en marge des pages 19 à 62, petit trou dans la marge supérieure p. 87, quelques rousseurs). // 18o (124 x 65 mm), 96 pp., red morocco, spine tooled in gilt raised on five bands, very decorative gilt tooling on covers, dentelle inside, gilt edges (contemporary binding).

An old handwritten leaf in the end gives the dates of promotions for 22 guards, between 1729 and 1734. Nice copy (despite defects of use, first hinge cracked on 6 mm on top, corners bumped, small dark stain on second cover, gilt of edges partly faded, a foxing on one edge from p. 19 to p. 62, small hole on top margin p. 87, some brownings).

1783réf. 124569London: War-Office 28 April 1783. First edition compiled just a few months before the conclusion of the War of Independence. These eighteenth-century Army Lists are becoming increasingly elusive those with relevance to the American Wars being particularly desirable and especially so when as here they are printed on thick paper and presented in the style of binding which seems to have been reserved by the War Office for presentation copies.

1881réf. 137674Lahore: Civil and Military Gazette Press 1881-84. News from the sandy plains of Nowshera First editions a broken but substantial run of this rare regimental newspaper with no copies of any volume recorded in commerce or institutionally. Two volumes are signed on the pastedowns by Captain Cecil Morris Lester who is listed in O'Donnell's history of the regiment as the newspaper's first editor. His completed January 1888 subscription slip is loosely inserted. The 2nd Battalion 14th Regiment was raised in 1858. In 1880 it was sent to India as part of the Second Anglo-Afghan War stationed at Nowshera and Sialkot. In July 1881 Our Journal was first released a monthly newspaper of approximately 10 pages each compiling regimental news results from sports competitions submissions of poetry and prose and puzzles. The editors wrote often in the first volume about the difficulty of finding contributors and funding but by Volume 6 that support was forthcoming. Lester 1859-1898 "had twenty years' service in the Prince of Wales's Own West Yorkshire Regiment which he entered as a second lieutenant in 1878 becoming lieutenant in the following year and captain in 1885. He served in the Afghan war on 1879-80 which Roberts's march made famous and received a medal for the Kama expedition" Evening Observer p. 5. Alongside being one of the unnamed editors he also appeared in cast lists for performances put on by the regiment playing Coco in The Midnight Watch vol. 1 no. 1 p. 7.

1918réf. 170820London: Sarah Burgess 1918. An ephemeral piece of wartime memorabilia A souvenir napkin advertising a parade through London of the Women's Land Army intended to promote the organization and encourage agricultural volunteers. Napkins were commonly printed for large public ceremonies: "the most spectacular napkins were the souvenir issues of Mrs S. Burgess of London who created items for various historical and period events" Florey p. 108. The march was an enormous undertaking consisting of over 200 women and farmers: "the war has afforded many stirring spectacles in the streets but these processions could hardly be excelled for picturesqueness or the appeal they made to national gratitude" The Times p. 4. The focus of the procession was promoting agricultural pursuits; the women were flanked by a myriad farmyard animals hay-balers and tractors. Recruitment speeches were delivered imploring women to support troops abroad by ensuring that industry and agriculture were appropriately maintained at home. "The soldiers are giving their lives for England. All that we ask of you girls is to give one year of your lives in the Land Army in the same noble cause" ibid. Known as "Auntie" in the trade Sarah Burgess operated from premises in Bishopsgate and later off the Strand as here advertising as a "manufacturer of paper switches cut tissues lace paper and shelf trimmings & confetti and stationer wholesale and export" Crawford. The napkin squares were imported into London from Japan already printed with a decorative border in up to five colours and a blank central area. After being printed with the appropriate commemorative design they were sold for about one penny by street traders lining the route of the event. Burgess was particularly involved with producing commemorative napkins for the suffrage movement including for the march to the House of Commons on 29 June 1909 the Suffrage Coronation Demonstration on 17 June 1911 and Emily Wilding Davison's internment in Morpeth on 14 June 1913. However "the WSPU had mixed feelings about Burgess's efforts. Disturbed by her producing an 'unauthorized official programme' for the June 29 event they nevertheless pointed it out as an example of 'how the movement interests the public'. Mrs Burgess's products demonstrated quite clearly how important the concept of a suffrage 'souvenir' or collectible had become to suffrage sympathizers who wanted to retain a tangible memory of a major event that they might have participated in" ibid. Square of plain crepe paper 325 x 360 mm. Central printed illustration depicting a portrait of Queen Mary of Teck set within oak and laurel leaves and flanked by two scrollwork motifs surrounded by decorative floral border printed in red. Some nicks and creases at extremities mostly to top edge gently creased from folding and a couple of small damp stain patches offset from ink lettering; overall a very good and intact example of a fragile product.
