réf. 36125Mar-68. Acquired by us from the recipient these have never before been offered for sale An extraordinary memento of the war from one of its most prominent leaders Allied uniform elements almost never reach the market these being true rarities embedhttps://vimeo.com/1180585334share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci/embed Bernard Law Montgomery known as ""Monty"" was the most prominent British field marshal during World War II. His most notable achievements include commanding the British Eighth Army at the pivotal Battle of El Alamein in 1942 which marked a significant turning point in the North African campaign. Montgomery remained an influential figure in military history earning the title of Field Marshal Lord Montgomery of Alamein in 1946. He published several works on military strategy and leadership before retiring from public life in 1968. In August 1942 Montgomery was named as the new commander of the British Eighth Army. After he assumed command he continued preparations for what promised to be a decisive battle with Erwin Rommel’’s famed Africa Corps. The Battle of El Alamein which began on October 23 was the type of set-piece engagement at which Montgomery excelled. His victory there represented the crowning achievement of his military career and shattered the mythical invincibility of the German army. With his “Desert Rats” in pursuit of the “Desert Fox” the world was soon to become familiar with the Montgomery image. Locked inside his small wiry frame was a reservoir of energy and an abundance of self-confidence. After the North African theater was cleared in May 1943 Montgomery led his forces in the invasion of Sicily July 1943 and later in the invasion of Italy September 1943. During the course of the Italian campaign he was recalled to England to assist in the planning of the Normandy invasion over which he was given tactical command. He commanded all Allied ground forces during the initial phase of the Battle of Normandy Operation Overlord from June 6 to September 1 1944. Then after Dwight D. Eisenhower was named Supreme Allied Commander Montgomery led the 21st Army Group and implemented a strategy of drawing German armored forces toward the British/Canadian sector at Caen enabling the U.S. breakout in the west. Montgomery continued to command the 21st Army Group through the rest of the campaign in North West Europe. When the war in Europe came to an end Montgomery was placed in charge of the British zone of occupation in Germany a post he held until February 1946 when he succeeded General Alan Brooke as chief of the Imperial General Staff. Autograph letter signed on his letterhead Hampshire March 1968 sending the shoulder strap and insignia he wore on his uniform during World War II. “This shoulder strap with the insignia of a Field Marshal is from a uniform worn by me in Europe on certain ceremonial occasions after my promotion to the rank of Field Marshall on 1st September 1944 and as Commander-in-Chief of the ground forces under SHAEF Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force. The actual uniform was also worn by me on certain occasions during my command of the Eighth Army but did not then carry the insignia of a Field Marshal but of a General.” It is signed “Montgomery of Alamein F.M.” The shoulder strap and colorful insignia are included. An extraordinary memento of World War II from one of its most prominent leaders.

1840réf. 2307812London: Ball Arnold & Co 1840. Small Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. New edition revised seventh edition and fourth edition respectively. Both volumes feature idyllic fore-edge paintings: the first of a woman and a boy holding hands as they walk a road with large trees on either side in the foreground and copses of trees in the distance; the second depicts two figures rowing a canoe down a stream with a village in the distance. Each appears to be by the same artist. Corners a bit rubbed with evidence of minor restoration to spine head and foot ink name on front endpaper of each volume. 1840 Small Hard Cover. xi 171; 208 12 pp. 12mo. Volumes one and two of what was ultimately a six-volume set of Montgomery's collected poems. The presence of fore-edge paintings on these volumes is somewhat unusual as traditionally this was done on leather-bound volumes often quite a bit larger than these and the practice in general was considerably more common in the 18th century and earlier. That being said these are ably done so it is clear that they are not the work of an amateur and it is possible someone commissioned a contemporary artist to do the entire set and these are the volumes that remain. His poetry while it sold well during his lifetime is remembered best as the victim of excoriating reviews by John Wilson in Blackwood's and Thomas Babington Macaulay in the Edinburgh Review.
