réf. 177650154 black and white snapshots held in place with photograph corners in a patterned fabric covered photograph album. Sizes of the photographs vary from 5 x7.5cm to 8.5 x 12.5cm. Black and white folding map of Burma 34.7 x 24cm loosely inserted two insets on the map show an elephant carrying teak a mahout on his back and a small map showing Burma's location within the region. Although the photographs are not individually captioned the album is divided into sections titled in white ink. Some blank leaves towards the rear of the album a separate section of 10 photographs titled "Burma & China" fills the last leaves. Six photographs are evenly browned all others are in excellent condition. A very interesting photograph album in excellent condition. A fascinating photographic record of events on the crucial Burma Road in southwestern China during and immediately after the Pacific War. An inscription on the final leaf gives the name John Barry Williams and the date 6/23/42 to 1/15/46. The Burma Road was constructed in 1936-1937 mainly to enable the allies to send material to China which was then at war with Japan. After the occupation of Burma by Japan in 1942 the flow of goods was cut until 1945 when in the last months of the war allied troops reconnected the transport corridor from Burma to China. Meanwhile war materiel continued to be transported by plane between Yunnan in China and India over the section of eastern Himalayas known as 'The Hump'. The owner of this album appears to have been a US serviceman stationed at Tsuyung Airfield in the Chinese province of Yunnan - the main transport hub at the Chinese end of the Hump route. The first photos in the album show scenes of the Burma Road and the Salween River on the border of Yunnan and Burma. There are a number of fine black-and-white photos of everyday life in the area including a village street a local salt mine a farmer ploughing with water buffaloes a street scene in Tsyuyung town women and children repairing the road and a train of pack ponies taking goods to market along the Burma Road in China. There are also images of a serviceman named Washburn holding up a captured Japanese flag. The following series of photos is labelled '780 Engineer Petroleum Distribution Co. Pipeline India-Burma-China 1944 and 1945' and shows scenes of the contruction of this vital fuel link with photos shot in India in the jungles of Burma and in southwestern China. The photos give a vivid image of the magnitude of the construction task showing teams camping out in rugged terrain and crossing rivers on makeshift bridges. A final group of photos labelled 'Burma and China' includes shots of a parachute drop from a plane and an image of allied soldiers with local villagers. A small map of Burma and Tibet published in 1948 has been loosely inserted in the front of the volume. . unknown

Albums and contents in fine condition. A tissue guard between every leaf protects the photographs within. A single photograph of a middle aged man among every other photograph which records a detail of the railway is the only clue to the albums previous ownership and perhaps authorship. Partial description by our colleague Dr.Christian White from Christian White Rare Books in Ilkley UK. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The West Highland Line Scottish Gaelic: Rathad Iarainn nan Eilean "Iron Road to the Isles" is a railway line linking the ports of Mallaig and Oban in the Scottish Highlands to Glasgow in Central Scotland. The line was voted the top rail journey in the world by readers of independent travel magazine Wanderlust in 2009 ahead of the notable Trans-Siberian line in Russia and the Cuzco to Machu Picchu line in Peru. The ScotRail website has since reported that the line has been voted the most scenic railway line in the world for the second year running. The West Highland Line is one of two railway lines that access the remote and mountainous west coast of Scotland the other being the Kyle of Lochalsh Line which connects Inverness with Kyle of Lochalsh. The line is the westernmost railway line in Great Britain. At least in part the West Highland Line is the same railway line as that referred to as the West Highland Railway. History: The route was built in several sections: Glasgow Queen Street to Cowlairs Junction - Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Cowlairs Junction to Bowling - Glasgow Dumbarton and Helensburgh Railway later absorbed into the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Bowling to Dumbarton Central - Lanarkshire and Dumbartonshire Railway operated by the Caledonian Railway Dumbarton Central to Dalreoch - Caledonian and Dumbartonshire Junction Railway Dalreoch to Craigendoran - Glasgow Dumbarton and Helensburgh Railway Craigendoran to Fort William opened 11 August 1894 - West Highland Railway sponsored by the North British Railway Crianlarich to Oban - Callander and Oban Railway operated by the Caledonian Railway. There is an additional section from Fort William or a junction near Fort William to Mallaig built as the Mallaig Extension Railway. The West Highland Railway approved the construction of the line at their annual meeting in January 1895. The line faced potential closure as part of the Beeching cuts in 1963 and again in 1995 due to reduced revenues. Route description: Shortly after leaving Glasgow Queen Street station and beyond Queen Street Tunnel the line diverges from the main trunk route to Edinburgh Waverley and Perth at Cowlairs and follows a northwesterly course through the suburbs of Maryhill and Kelvindale. Between Westerton and Dumbarton the route is shared with the North Clyde Line to Helensburgh Central before branching northward at Craigendoran Junction towards Garelochhead the section where the West Highland Line itself is generally accepted to begin. It gives high-level views of the Gare Loch and Loch Long before emerging alongside the northwesterly shores of Loch Lomond then climbs Glen Falloch to Crianlarich. The branch to Oban diverges at Crianlarich an important Highland junction of both road and rail and runs through Glen Lochy to Dalmally and through the Pass of Brander to reach salt water at Taynuilt and Connel Ferry before a final climb over a hill to Oban. About three miles five kilometres from Crianlarich the Mallaig and Oban routes both pass through the village of Tyndrum but they are served by separate stations making it an unusually small settlement to be served by more than one railway station. After Bridge of Orchy the line to Mallaig climbs onto Rannoch Moor past the former crossing point at Gorton Crossing to Rannoch station. In winter the moor is often covered with snow and deer may be seen running from the approaching train. The station at Corrour on the moor is one of the most remote stations in Britain and is not accessible by any public road. This is the summit of the line at 1347 ft 410 m above sea level. Carrying on northwards the line descends above the shores of Loch Treig and through the narrow Monessie Gorge. The final stop before Fort William is Spean Bridge. The section between Fort William and Mallaig passes over the Glenfinnan Viaduct through Arisaig with its views of the Small Isles of Rùm Eigg Muck and Canna and the white sands of Morar before coming to Mallaig itself. With the exception of the route between Glasgow Queen Street and Helensburgh Upper and the short section between Fort William Junction and Fort William station the railway is signalled using the Radio Electronic Token Block controlled from the signal box at Banavie station. Notable railway-related features Glenfinnan Viaduct The Horse Shoe Curve between Upper Tyndrum and Bridge of Orchy The Cruach Rock snowshed between Rannoch and Corrour Glenfinnan Viaduct between Locheilside and Glenfinnan The Pass of Brander stone signals between Dalmally and Taynuilt Arisaig is the most westerly railway station in Great Britain West Highland Line in film: Train crossing bridge at Banavie The summit of the line just north of Corrour Glenfinnan Viaduct on the line between Fort William and Mallaig is a filming location for the Hogwarts Express in the Harry Potter series of films. Eddie McConnell's poetic documentary A Line for All Seasons 1970 showcases the line and its history set against the scenery of the western highlands as it changes through the seasons. Corrour features in Trainspotting 1996 directed by Danny Boyle. Source: Wikipedia hardcover

1944réf. 200808Remington Rand. 1944. Five printed colour maps each: 31.4 x 47 cms; 46.3 x 53.3 cms sheet central fold marginal edge wear chips and a few small edge tears tidemark affecting the ocean at the outer edge of Map VII but all the maps in very good condition. From a series of World War II battlefront maps "for the delight of arm-chair strategists" published by the Library Bureau of Remington Rand seven were published. Taken from a bird's eye view of the globe and with relief artistically rendered by artist Kenneth Thompson 1907-1996 and descriptive text by George Fielding Eliot 1894-1971. Eliot spent his youth in Australia attending Melbourne University serving with distinction in the Australian Infantry in WWI. Moving to the United States after a short stint in Canada serving with the RCMP her served as a reserve officer in the U.S. Army reserve in military intelligence from 1922 to 1933 and during WWII Eliot famously broadcast the first extended television coverage following the attack on Pearl Harbor. He continued to write books and articles about military strategy and world politics into the 1960s. In keeping with the "aviation-age" cartography of Richard Edes Harrison the unusual perspective of the maps--from above and often with a direction other than north at the top of the map--challenges the viewer to reconsider the geopolitical situation with the text of Eliot as a further prompt his captions below: Map III Italy & South France "Hannibal Caesar and Napoleon made their reputations here" Map IV The Western Front "Will the cockpit of 1918 see the decisive battles of 1944" Map V Southeastern Asia "The road to Mandalay -- and to China --along which bombs for Tokyo must travel" Map VI The Southwest Pacific "Island-hopping toward Japan -- in short and long hops" Map V11 The North Pacific "Here the enemy trusts in the protection of vast ocean distances" .

Based on a Rand McNally map and issued less than two months after the bombing of Pearl Harbour by the Japanese. The Tribune briskly got to work issuing maps for readers showing the beginnings of the war with Japan. Later maps were also published for sale separately but remarkably few have survived. The map shows "the nearness of our Aleutian Island chain west of Alaska to the islands of Japan. At Dutch Harbor and other points in the Aleutians are actual and potential sea and air bases lying on the shortest route from northwestern United States to Japan." The inset map at lower right situates the areas in the larger map in respect to the countries bordering the North Pacific Ocean. Included with the map is the complete newspaper section from which it is the final full page. Covering sport and the market with half a dozen popular comic strips including "Dick Tracy" and "Little Orphan Annie" it shows a domestic United States a world away from what had been seen as a European War.

Strategic map published in the Chicago Daily Tribune "The World's Greatest Newspaper" on June 5th 1942 two days after the Japanese attack on Dutch Harbor the site of the US army and navy bases in the Aleutians and as it transpired at the outset of the Battle of MIdway. The owner and proprietor of the Tribune Robert McCormick was staunchly against the United States entering the war and had firm views once it had occurred that American resources should not be used defending the British Empire. Famously the Tribune published the "Victory Program" Roosevelt’s military plan to prepare the United States for possible entry into World War II and was subject to prosecution for an alleged violation of the Espionage Act relating to the newspaper’s front-page account of the Battle of Midway 4-7 June 1942. It became an important test case for the limits of free speech and censorship during war-time. The Legend shows territorial Control of Ocean Areas marking Japanese Naval and Air bases as of 1941 and "according to latest reports" those established in the first six months of 1942. Also shown are pre-war sovereignties as at the bombing of Pearl Harbour on December 7th 1941.
