rif. 295876New York: Sweeney Litho Co. Lithographed canvas banner. 46" x 29" This large World War I-era poster was sponsored by the United War Work Campaign. Established in 1918 by Woodrow Wilson the campaign brought together seven organizations--the YMCA the YWCA the American Library Association the War Camp Community Service the Knights of Columbus the Jewish Welfare Board and the Salvation Army--to form a group fundraising effort with the hope of raising over $170 million for the war. The canvas banner depicts a red and white striped top hat on a blue background. The hat is full of dollar bills and coins symbolizing the collective fund that had been created and encouraging citizens to donate. The poster is in very good condition. Folds as issued. The vintage colors are rich and emblematic of the era. Sweeney Litho Co unknown books

1917rif. 184984London: His Majesty's Stationery Office 1917. Simla censured First edition. This report into the disastrous advance on Baghdad and the Siege of Kut heavily criticized Simla and the "confident optimism" of General Sir John Nixon p. 111. Its findings overhauled the prosecution of the Mesopotamian Campaign which became the purview of the War Office and experienced Western Front generals such as Stanley Maude. Parliamentary approval for an investigation into the Mesopotamia fiasco was granted by the Special Commissions Dardanelles and Mesopotamia Act of 1916 and Lord George Hamilton a former Secretary of State for India and First Lord of the Admiralty chaired the wide-ranging enquiry. The commission met over 60 times interviewed dozens of witnesses and trawled documentary evidence and witness statements. The final verdict laid the blame principally on Nixon and the inadequacies of the Government of India and the Indian Army: "In consequence of such want of touch the Military Authorities at Simla did not appreciate the difficulties of campaigning in Mesopotamia and from such lack of knowledge failed to make sufficient provision for surmounting the difficulties and drawbacks" p. 111. Quarto. Map folding chart illustrations labelled annexures II and III Annexure I not issued. Original blue wrappers spine and covers printed in black.

1708rif. 000312Amstelaedami (Amsterdam) Ex Officina Wetsteniana (Wetstein) 1708
rif. 145940Good. A red white and blue tricolour approximately 630 × 1110 mm in three panels sewn with a cedar of Lebanon painted in green and brown on the white central stripe. Material a little tanned and faded with a few tiny holes; a striking piece in good condition overall. Allied forces spearheaded by two brigades of the Australian 7th Division took Beirut from the Vichy French on 12 July 1941 and Syria and Lebanon were placed under British control two days later at the Armistice of Saint Jean d'Acre on terms that sidelined the Free French. De Gaulle insisted on concessions and secured ongoing Free French administration of Lebanon under General Georges Catroux. Newspaper reports give the date of the entry of de Gaulle and Catroux into Beirut as 26 July although a United States State Department cable dated 25 July gives it as 'noon today' 740.0011 European War 1939/13488. The Australian War Memorial holds newsreel footage of the event F01119 dated 'c July 1941' showing their motorcade processing past throngs of excited Australian and allied troops. The relatively crudely-painted cedar of Lebanon on this flag suggests that it was created from a plain French tricolour. It has been signed by 21 soldiers most with their service numbers with the signatures and inscriptions embroidered-over by hand in red and blue thread. It is inscribed near the top edge 'De Gaulle Victory March' and two of the signatures are dated 24 July 1941 suggesting that the flag was prepared in the days prior to the event. Most of the service numbers are South Australian and several of the signatories were members of the 9th Division Cavalry Regiment at that time attached to the 21st Brigade. Amongst them is the future Liberal Senator for South Australia Keith Alexander Laught 1907-1969. In addition to being an interesting artefact of Australian military forces in the Levant this flag also stands at a turning point in the history of Lebanon. Catroux would proclaim Lebanese independence on 26 November 1941 while maintaining French administrative control; a Lebanese government unilaterally declared full independence in November 1943 abolishing this flag; and the French Mandate finally concluded in 1946. unknown
