Prior to the upcoming World War II, it was carried out both as a review of the level of preparation of the armed forces and as a show of strength for potential enemy threats. First of all, the fascist movement led by Benito Mussolini in Italy and then the Nazis, led by Adolf Hitler in Germany, after they took the power to aggressively take up arms and run again to share the land in the European continent, were regarded as a sign of an upcoming war. Therefore, Turkish state officials, especially Atatürk, decided to get military exercises to prepare the armed forces for a military confrontation and to intimidate potential threats.

1519rif. 79430Hammondsport New York and Newport News Virginia 1915-1917. The captions were formerly attached to the photographs with paperclips with some crimping to the photographs and captions. Some marginal damage to a couple of the photographs; images unaffected and quite interesting. . Various sizes; 14 measure 8 / 10 inches; 54 are 4 x 6 inches. . Many of the captions are quite informative if a bit illiterate for example: "Capt. Baldwin in the first Derigable sic were built for the U.S. Gov. Capt. Baldwin built his machine and was accepted by U.S. Gov. on all trials. Capt. Baldwin--inventor of a Parachute and first man to ever jump. built at Hammondsport."

rif. 118695Fifteen gelatin silver prints one 127 × 129 mm all others 134 × 139 mm slightly curled around the vertical axis; in uniformly fine condition Numbers pencilled on the verso of all but the small print include '/43' so we will suggest 1943 as the date. The only caption is a later one in ballpoint pen identifying Darling Harbour; there are another two featuring the same general area. Eight feature Garden Island prominently in all but one instance and four focus on Cockatoo Island; the former was a major naval base and the latter the main ship repair facility during the Second World War. Although the photographs are not credited given the nature of the images and the fact they were taken during wartime they were presumably taken with authorisation. Offered with the photographs is 'Sydney an Aerial Close-up' by Walter Brooks with photography by Neil Sutherland 1986; those familiar with Sydney in the mid-2020s may derive some pleasure in drawing two comparisons . 16 items. unknown
rif. 118696Very Good. All are gelatin silver prints on thick stock; eight are oblique photographs 207 × 154 mm; two are vertical views approximately 165 × 220 mm; the larger ones are slightly creased at the corners one of them a little more so; the others are in excellent condition. All images are captioned in the negative. All eight oblique views carry the same date 25 June 1918 preceded by 'A3 AEO 62°' ranges from 110 to 121. Place names on them are Hamel Hamel Wood Somme Accroche Wood Tailloux Wood and Vaire Wood. The vertical images are dated 3 May and 27 June 1918 and carry a larger set of alpha-numeric references commencing 'A3 AE A 715' and '35 AE B 929' respectively. All ten prints have the signature 'Capt Sexton' in indelible pencil on the verso. Digitised service records indicate the signature is that of Eric James Sexton of the Adelaide suburb of Hindmarsh; he enlisted on 14 August 1914 shortly before his 21st birthday and was appointed to the 10th Battalion with the rank of lieutenant. He was wounded at the landing at Gallipoli promoted to captain the following day and later invalided back to Australia disembarking on 6 August 1915. By January 1916 he was declared fit again for active service and re-embarked in April for England where he performed various training roles. On 14 February 1917 he transferred to the Australian Machine Gun Training Depot with the rank of major. He embarked for Australia on 12 March 1918 arriving in Melbourne on 22 May 1918. Accordingly Sexton did not serve in France and was a major not a captain by the time these photographs were produced. We cannot explain the anomalies but will let the photographs speak for themselves. Significantly they show the area where the important Battle of Hamel was fought on 4 July 1918. 'Hamel was a big battle in miniature involving the experimentation of tanks and small ammunition drops as part of a broader all-arms offensive. While a coordinated offensive was not a new approach to warfare Hamel represented the culmination of three years of learning and innovation on the Western Front testing an all-inclusive approach to mobile warfare. The flawless execution of the operation resulted in Hamel becoming a model for future operations on the Western Front. In his account of the event Monash famously wrote that "the perfected modern battle plan is like nothing so much as a score for an orchestral composition where the various arms and units are the instruments and the tasks they perform are their respective musical phrases' Ellen Cresswell: 'The Experiment - Innovations at the Battle of Hamel' Australian War Memorial website. 10 items. unknown
