1943réf. 190146Washington: United States Government Printing Office 1943-45-46. With appreciation of your tremendous service to the army and support of me General Brehon Burke Somervell copies with his name on the front covers the first two volumes inscribed to him by George Marshall who selected Somervell to command the newly created Services of Supply. The first volume is inscribed "To General Somervell with appreciation and warm regard G. Marshall"; the second "Dear Somervell - Please accept this copy of my final report as Chief of Staff with appreciation of your tremendous service to the army and support of me with my affectionate regards - G. Marshall October 5 1945". "General George C. Marshall the army's chief of staff during World War II held Somervell in high regard for his ability to perform monumental tasks. The US Army in World War II was probably the best-supplied army that had ever gone to war. Much of the credit for that accomplishment goes to Somervell who provided the 'sinews of war' for a military effort that literally spanned the globe" American National Biography. The first two reports were submitted by Marshall. The first covering July 1941 to June 1943 describes the United States Army's expansion from emergency mobilisation through Pearl Harbor early defeats and the first major Allied offensives. The second covering July 1943 to June 1945 recounts the campaigns that brought victory in Italy Germany and Japan and sets out Marshall's analysis of American mobilisation strategy supply and command.

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.

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.
