1940réf. 1690571940-43. Fine photographs of North Africa and the Middle East A British airman's substantial archive comprising photographs autographs ephemera and medals. A skilled photographer Jack Leslie Lees 1912-1980 was a leading aircraftman at the RAF's Air Ministry Experimental Station AMES Number 235 a British radar unit employed in Wadi El Natrun Egypt and Tobruk Libya where they suffered German attack in 1942. His personal archives hold extensive records of his military service and activities on leave between 1940 and 1943. The photographs portray Lees and other soldiers during their free moments and in battle as well as everyday scenes at the base and outside. He photographed Aboukir Alexandria including the zoo Cairo and Mersa Matrouh the site of several battles. In 1941 he was in Tobruk where he photographed as always everyday scenes and interesting buildings and documented the siege; he was also in Derna and Benghazi. Lees was especially fond of Jerusalem where he visited and photographed the holy sites. The first album opens with a Certificate of Pilgrimage with a chip of rock from the Grotto from Lees's visit to the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem issued signed and stamped in Greek by Archimandrite Kyriakos; Lees also kept a memento with the leaf of a tree from the Garden of Gethsemane. The albums include fine views of Beirut's cityscape and other areas of Lebanon where he visited ruins and the Jezzine waterfalls as well as of Syria with several Roman sites and a coastal town perhaps Latakia or Tartus. The autographs and sketches in his pocket book were jotted down by British soldiers; one in Russian calls Lees "a comrade met in Tel-Aviv".

1917réf. 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. Ex-London County Council Library with its annotated ink stamp on front cover. Small loss at foot of spine occasional cockling and spotting internally 90 mm stub tear: very good. unknown

1940réf. 170773London: British High Command in the East c. 1940-43. Greetings and Peace be upon you A rare chit for RAF pilots to carry during the North Africa Campaign 1940-3 in case of being lost or captured. Written for the benefit of British personnel in the field the focus is simple and concise. The first paragraph in English and Arabic presents a simple greeting asking for hospitality. The following gives points of conduct such as "remove footwear before entering their tents" and "do not expect breakfast if you sleep the night. Arabs will give you a mid-day or evening meal". A word list includes translations of "friend" "food" "tired" and "enemy". We have encountered two other issues: one slightly simplified British issue and an American issue carried by all pilots and crewmen of the Twelfth Air Force with a message from President Roosevelt instead of the British High Command in the East. Single sheet 244 x 173 mm text in Arabic and English on recto only vignette of the Great Seal of the Realm at head backed on coarse linen and mounted on black card within white card mount all on laminate board presented in dark oak frame with conservation acrylic glazing 353 x 280 mm. Minor foxing sometime folded. A very good example of a fragile publication. "Notes for Communicating with Arabs" IBCC Digital Archive document 25543. unknown
