From the Introduction: “This book aims at giving to the average lay reader a succinct account of the parts played by the various leaders on all fronts during the Great War. Strict impartiality and accuracy in detail were the writer’s objectives during the course of his meticulous sifting of the various authorities on which the work is based . . . the ‘motif’ has been a study of the reaction of the character and temperament of the various generals upon the morale of their troops and upon the trend of the mighty issues whose destiny they guide. It is the writer’s firm conviction that the personality of a commander is as important a factor in modern warfare as it was in the days generals with gleaming swords charged on high-mettled steeds at the head of their troops against the serried ranks of the enemy . . . “ From the Translator’s Preface: “To British readers the visualisation in this book of the war achievements of the Allied and enemy generals by a German, who aims at a strictly impartial survey of the wide field he covers, but whose perspective, for all that, is occasionally blurred by the mirage of patriotic partialties, will be illuminative. While making allowance for involuntary ‘suppressio veri’, overstatement and rather fulsome hero-worship, we profit by ‘seeing oursells as ithers see us’. Incidentally, the author, who prefers to remain anonymous, is a well-known authority on the history of the Great War . . . “

107209 Anon. [The Author, who desired to remain unknown, is referred to as “E. R.” on the Author’s Foreword : E. W. J. Rowan] The 54th Infantry Brigade 1914-1918 : Some Records of Battle and Laughter in France London and Portsmouth: Gale and Polden Ltd, 1919 [Printed for private circulation only] 4¾” x 7¼”. [xi] + 207pp, frontispiece, illustrations. Red cloth blocked in black, no d/j, spine faded, some patchy discolouration, frontispiece detached otherwise Very Good. Scarce. The subtitle sets the tone of this history of one of the most remarkable brigades that fought on the Western Front. The 18th (Eastern) Division became an elite formation, one of Kitchener’s Second New Army divisions, which had the advantage of being commanded by Ivor Maxse, foremost among commanders for his training and leadership qualities. He commanded it for two and a quarter years and his successor, R.P Lee, another good commander, lead it for the rest of the war. Only two GOCs in four years of war.The 54th Brigade was to win eight VCs, the highest number for a non-regular army brigade, eight out of the eleven awarded to the division. The history is made up of the stories and recollections of all ranks, and the style is very informal. The compiler or editor has chosen to remain anonymous, but the result is something like a regimental history, with a good sprinkling of personalities identified in the narrative. Much is made of the Spirit of the Brigade, a morale booster undoubtedly helped by the fact the battalions stayed together from the time they arrived in France in July 1915 till the reorganization of the BEF in February 1918 when brigades were reduced to three battalions. The 54th Brigade certainly saw a great deal of action and there are plenty of lively descriptions. The Brigade commander tells of his visit to an emplacement known as Panama House during a lively ‘strafe’. The company sergeant-major emerged, grabbed the brigadier and threw him inside saying: “We don’t want no dead Brigadiers round our pillbox.” The brigade commanders and staff and the unit commanders are listed in the appendix and the eight VC citations are given.

104086 Brovkin, Vladimir N. [Ed.] The Bolsheviks in Russian Society : The Revolution and the Civil Wars New Haven: Yale University Press, 1997 6¼” x 9½”. 333pp. Black boards in d/j, As New. In this book distinguished scholars from East and West draw on recently opened archives to challenge the commonly held view that the Bolsheviks enjoyed widespread support and that their early history was simply a march toward inevitable victory. They show instead that during this period Russian society was at war with itself and with the Bolsheviks. Authors discuss such previously neglected subjects as government policies toward women and toward religious institutions, the protests of workers and peasants, and the anti-Bolshevik movements and parties. Describing not one civil war but several social, political, and military confrontations going on simultaneously, they portray a Russia in turmoil and on outcome that was by no means inevitable.

107943 Buchanan, Capt. Angus [Captain Angus Buchanan MC, 25th Battalion Royal Fusiliers (Frontiersmen)] Three Years of War in East Africa London: John Murray, 1919 5½” x 9”. [xxi] + 247pp, frontis, illustrations, maps, publisher’s advertisements. Original pictorial cloth, no d/j, covers marked and rubbed, spine darkened, head and tail of spine frayed, end-papers browned, inner hinges cracked, edges & end-papers lightly foxed, the map of the “Lindi Area” called for at page 172 has been excised, otherwise Good. The Great War in East Africa was much more than a ‘sideshow’ - it was a classic guerilla campaign that has entered military legend. The author of this account was an officer of the 25th Royal Fusiliers, a British unit in the predominantly Indian and South African Allied Army that attempted, with huge losses and only limited success, to hunt down the elusive Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck, the brilliant and resourceful commander in German East Africa. Lettow’s small force of white officers and native African ‘Askaris’ ranged across a vast region, twice the size of Germany itself, to keep one jump ahead of their allied pursuers. Initially outnumbered, the allies harried their quarry, but never finally defeated him. The Armistice found Lettow still in the field, barely able to credit the news that his beloved Fatherland had crumbled. Buchanan’s book shows why one of his soldiers griped: ‘Ah, I wish to hell I was in France! There one lives like a gentleman and dies like a man; here one lives like a pig and dies like a dog’. The Allies found themselves battling a hostile climate, terrain, and above all disease - especially the dreaded malaria - which took a greater toll of lives than the fierce enemy resistance. A nature lover, Buchanan makes many observations of African flora and fauna, as well as his unsparing account of the tough military campaign. Rare in this edition.

Engineers, 1/5,1/6,1/7,1/8 & 1/9 Kings [Liverpool Regt], 1/4 & 1/5 KORLR, 1/4 & 1/5 Loyal North Lancs. Regt. 2/5 Lancashire Fusiliers, 1/5 South Lancashire Regt. & supporting arms. Describes the actions of the Division in the Cambrai & Givenchy sectors among others, lists awards & honours with the citations for the 11 VC winners, casualty lists etc. The 55th was a pre-war territorial division, recruited in an area extending northwards from the Mersey to the Lune. The divisional and two of the brigade headquarters were located in Liverpool, the third brigade in Lancaster. The divisional sign was the red rose of Lancaster and the infantry battalions came from the King’s Own (R Lancaster), the King’s (Liverpool), the Loyal N Lancs and the S Lancs. The artillery, engineers, signals, transport and medical units were all designated West Lancashire, the Mounted troops were the Lancashire Hussars (Yeomanry). Between November 1914 and March 1915 eight battalions left the division for France to provide reinforcements for the BEF. In April a complete brigade, the North Lancashire, was transferred to the 51st Highland Division and having been redesignated 3rd Highland Brigade went to France with that division in May, whether they were in kilts or not is not made clear. In January 1916 the division was reformed in France, with the original battalions returning, and numbered 55th. Subsequently it fought on the Somme at Guillemont, Ginchy, Flers-Courcelette and Morval. It took part in Third Ypres and was at Cambrai for the tank attack and the German counter-attack. In April 1918 the 55th was engaged in the fighting on the Lys during the German offensive, doing exceptionally well in their stubborn defence of Givenchy where their memorial stands today bearing the inscription “They Win or die who wear the Rose of Lancashire.” By the end of the month they had suffered 3,871 casualties and been awarded three VCs. The division earned a high reputation, it won the highest number of VCs (12) among the non-regular divisions including the only double VC to be awarded during the war, Capt Noel Chavasse RAMC, the MO of the 1/10th King’s (Liverpool) - the Liverpool Scottish. Appendices give the citations for these VC awards, full casualty details, totals of honours and awards and reproduce the first and last operation orders issued by the division (9 February 1916 and 10 November 1918). In all the division had 35,701 casualties of which 6,520 were dead.

Red cloth blocked in black on the front and gilt on the spine, blind ruled, no d/j, spine faded, head and tail of spine frayed, otherwise Very Good. The career of Jan Smuts is one of the most remarkable military and political stories of the 20th century. A gifted guerilla commander against the British in the Boer War; by 1914 Smuts was happy to stand with the British as head of a large army fighting to conquer German East Africa (today’s Tanzania). Sadly the campaign was not one of his finest hours. Both the text of this book, and Smuts’ own somewhat defensive introduction, gives a good idea of why the resourceful German commander, Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck, was able to run rings round the superior allied forces trying to trap him. Lettow and his staff, and their small army of trained native Africans, the ‘Askaris’, knew the lie of the land and were able to live off it. The allied frustration, as they repeatedly tracked and attacked him, only to find Lettow melting away to fight another day, is palpable. Evcentually, the allies, at enormous cost, succeeded in conquering the territory and forcing Lettow into neighbouring areas, but the 1918 Armistice found him still at liberty and with his force intact. By then Smuts had long departed. It is pleasant to record that Smuts ended his career as a valued member of Churchill’s War Cabinet and South African Prime Minister, and that in the hungry months for Germany that followed the Second World War he was able to supply his old opponent, Lettow, with food parcels.

The spine ends and corners are heavily bumped, and also frayed.

Brown cloth blocked in blue, no d/j, covers rubbed, spine darkened and soiled, occasional foxing otherwise Very Good. Hanway Robert Cumming was commissioned into the Durham Light Infantry (DLI) in 1889 and saw active service during the South African War. He was in a staff appointment in India in August 1914 and did not arrive in France till June 1915 where he again held staff appointments until August 1916 when he took command of 2nd DLI. In November 1916 he was appointed to command of the 91st Brigade, 7th Division, a post he held till May 1917 when, during the Battle of Bullecourt he was summarily dismissed by the divisional commander (Shoubridge) and went home on leave, under protest as he describes in the book (less than a month later he was awarded the DSO in the 1917 Birthday Honours!). From August 1917 to the following February he commanded the MG Corps Training Centre at Grantham and then, in March 1918 he went back to France to command the 110th Brigade, 21st Division where he stayed to the end of the war. After the war, while commanding the Kerry Brigade in Ireland he was murdered, on 6th March 1921.This book is concerned with his two periods as a brigade commander, and as battlefield reminiscences of officers at that level are not all that common, it is a record of special interest. The greater part of the book deals with his command of the 110th Brigade which he took over less than a week before the German Spring offensive, which is dealt with in detail, as is the May offensive in Champagne in which 21st Division was one of the five British divisions fighting under French command, and then the final allied counter-offensive. In all this is an interesting picture of the life of a brigade commander on the Western front. He tells his story in the third person, referring to himself throughout as the Brigadier.

History of the 60th Division (2/2nd London Division) London: George Allen & Unwin Ltd, 1927 6¼” x 10”. 255pp, colour frontispiece and two plates, maps. Original black cloth gilt with Divisional motif on front cover, no d/j, covers rubbed, head of spine snagged with small splits in cloth, corners frayed, end-papers foxed and discoloured, previous owner’s name inscribed otherwise Very Good. At the end of August 1914 the Territorial Force (TF) was authorized to raise reserve or 2nd-line units and from these came the 2nd-line Divisions, fourteen of them, one for each 1st-line or original pre-war TF divisions. The 60th came into existence in September as the 2/2nd London Division, receiving its number in August 1915 when all the 2nd-line divisions were numbered. It embarked for France in June 1916 and went into the line in the Vimy sector where it endured four months of crater and trench fighting. The division was withdrawn from the BEF in November and sent to Macedonia , assembling at Salonika on Christmas Day 1916. For the next five months it was engaged in fighting the Bulgars, participating in the British attacks near Lake Doiran in April and May. Their stay in Macedonia lasted only six months, for in June 1917 the division was moved again - to Palestine where it saw out the war. The division made a good name for itself in this campaign, at Third Gaza, Beersheba, Jerusalem, Jericho and especially in carrying out two raids across the Jordan, which are described in detail.Two appendices list command and staff, one when the division left for France and the other when it arrived in Palestine. Three VCs were awarded (one of which does not get a mention), all in Palestine, but there is no list of honours and awards nor roll of honour. The author, an ASC officer, commanded the division Train till returning home in June 1917 before the division arrived in Palestine. The maps could be better, in fact one of them depicting the battle for Jerusalem (p 152) shows a 71st Division as part of the force; the 71st Division was a home service only division, and in the text on p133 reference is made to the 179th Division which should be 179th Brigade.

Jones' Library at Shermershill remains in reasonable condition, noting discolouration to the covers, frayed spine ends and corners and a long split in the spine gutter while, internally, the inner hinges are badly cracked and the binding has failed between pages 224 and 225 though an attempt has been made to re-glue this section. In 1881 Charles Henry Du Val wrote a book entitled With a Show through Southern Africa and Personal Reminiscences of the Transvaal War. He found a publisher in Tinsley Brothers of 8 Catherine Street in London, and delivered his manuscript with its numerous illustrations to them by the end of the year. The book was published in May 1882 in the form of two volumes, and was an immediate success. Over 25,000 copies were sold during the first two months. He then went on to make another tour in England and Ireland with his show. A second edition appeared in 1884. In the same year a one-volume “popular edition” was produced for the South African market, which was condensed by about a third and had fewer illustrations. The omitted information was mostly political commentary and descriptions of the African landscape, which were unnecessary for its intended primary market. It described, in a highly entertaining and informative way, his experiences while touring with his show “Odds and Ends” in southern Africa from 1879 to 1880, and also his time at the Siege of Pretoria in 1880-1881 during the First Boer War. Both versions were in print for many years, and enjoyed renewed interest from the outbreak of the Second Boer War in 1899.

108583 Dunsterville, Major-General L. C. The Adventures of Dunsterforce London: Edward Arnold, 1932. Kingfisher Library reissue (originally published 1920) 4¼" x 7". 322pp, ills. Blue cloth in chipped, torn d/j with some loss at head and tail of spine, previous owner's name inscribed otherwise Very Good/G. Cyril Falls: " 'Dunsterforce' originated in a British mission to Tiflis, the object of which was to restore the front against the Turks by reorganising the broken remnants of Russian and Armenian troops. It failed in this object; in fact, it never reached Tiflis, but it accomplished good work, if only by delaying the inevitable. It is a great story of British pluck, coolness, and the power of well-calculated bluffing. Its leadership as worthy of those qualities which we should expect from the chief figure of 'Stalky & Co.'

Blue cloth gilt, no d/j, covers rubbed, previous owner’s name inscribed otherwise Very Good. Cyril Falls: “There are perhaps half a dozen German histories important to the British reader in search of information regarding the policy and conduct of the War from the enemy’s point of view. Of these the late General von Falkenhayn’s apologia is certainly one. During the period which his book covers, Falkenhayn was first Prussian War Minister, and then on the breakdown of Moltke, Chief of Staff of the German Field Armies -- virtually Commander-in-Chief, though not quite so independent of the Emperor as Ludendorff in later years. He was therefore responsible for Verdun and all that it implied regarding operations on the Eastern Front, and also for the early stages of the defence on the Somme. His record is clear and frank.” CONTENTS: I. The Change of Chief of the General Staff; II. The General Military Situation in the Middle of September, 1914; III. The Battles of the Yser and Around Lodz; IV. The Period from the Beginning of Trench Warfare in November-December, 1914, Until the Recommencement of the War of Movement in 1915; V.

Green cloth blocked in black, no d/j, covers rubbed, tanning to pages, previous owner’s name inscribed otherwise Very Good. Mr. PHILIP GIBBS has gathered together, under the title. Open Warfare, the Way to Victory (HEINEMANN), his despatches written from the Western front during the last year of the War. What strikes one most on seeing them again in book form is the obscurity in which they veil the events they record. They so shine, as it were, with a luminous mist that they seem to reveal everything, yet in sober truth very often it is only in the light of later knowledge that they reveal anything at all. Congratulations, therefore, to Mr. GIBBS, the perfect war correspondent! I defy anyone from these papers alone (apart from the plentiful and excellent maps) to form anything like an adequate conception of the disaster that swept down upon the British Armies in the Spring of 1918. And yet in a sense it is all there, gorgeously camouflaged under the control—I daresay the wise and necessary control—of the censorship. The author, watching the very moulding of history with every advantage of proximity, has written down, if not much bare statement, yet an amazing sequence of heroic detail, associated with such stirring names as Arras or Givenchy or Cambrai. Curiously enough, though each chapter is intensely vivid, they become, through much instancing of the same unconquerable spirit, something monotonous, though never wearisome, in bulk. One trusts that a future generation will realise that the value of a book of this order consists in its first-hand record of such incidents of valour; it would be pitiful to have it hastily assumed, because so much is slurred or omitted to deceive the enemy, that England was so feeble-hearted as to require her evil news predigested before consumption in this manner. It should be added that the writer gives us a good sound introduction that goes a long way to fill the yawning gaps. [PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI. Vol. 156. June 11, 1919.]

Malta - Ypres - Gallipoli - Southern Egypt - Somme - Arras - Cambrai - Amiens. In his preface the author, who took three years over this history, makes the point that material that should have been preserved in the regimental archives had disappeared, and that personal diaries, letters and memoranda had been very hard to come by, making his task not an easy one. One result is that there is no list of honours and awards but rather a summary, nor could he get reliable casualty figures for some of the battles. Nevertheless, despite the handicaps, he acknowledges plenty of help and advice and he has produced a very commendable piece of work which certainly ranks with other histories and is a good deal better than some. It was his intention to present a connected or continuous story so he has not adopted the pattern of separate parts for each battalion. He follows the chronology of the war with each battalion being brought into the story at the appropriate time. Each chapter covers a specific period/battle and a specific battalion, as is made clear in the list of contents. The 1/2nd was with the 1st London Brigade, 1st London Division when war broke out, and a month later the brigade was sent to Malta to replace the regular battalions. In February 1915 they in turn were replaced by their second line battalions (2/2nd had been formed in September 1914) and left for France where the 1/2nd was posted to 17th Brigade 6th Division at Armentieres and for the rest of the war it remained on the Western Front. In October 1915 the brigade was transferred to the 24th Division and in February 1916 it was moved again - to the re-formed 56th (previously1st London) Division, part of 169th Brigade, and there it stayed to the end. After Malta the 2/2nd was sent to Gallipoli where it arrived on 13 October and was attached to the 2nd Naval Brigade. In January 1916 it went to France where it was disbanded and the 3/2nd (formed in December 1914), which was in the UK at the time with 173rd Brigade, 58th Division, was renamed 2/2nd. The division landed in France in January 1917 and the battalion fought its first major action at Bullecourt in May; it, too, remained with the brigade throughout the fighting to the end of the war. Finally there was a fourth line battalion, 4/2nd, which was formed in May 1915 but did not serve overseas; its function was to supply drafts for the two overseas battalions. The Roll of Honour lists 1,345 dead and the summary of awards shows 65 British decorations to officers and 246 to other ranks, excluding MiD.

On war memorials in villages and cities alike, it marks the date of death for a generation. This book tells the story of a voluntary city battalion from its inception to its destruction on July 1st, 1916, the first day of the Battle of the Somme. Seen through the eyes of a ranker serving in the battalion the narrative moves with majestic sweep from the days of high patriotic fervour in England to the final holocaust in France”.

Red cloth blocked in black, no d/j, covers rubbed, spine slightly canted, edges lightly foxed, gift inscription on front end-paper otherwise Very Good. This is an account of World War I by a member of the Middlesex Yeomanry who began guarding the East Coast and then was sent to Egypt. After more training the Regiment was sent to Gallipoli. After months of unceasing warfare the remnants of the Regiment, less than fifty strong, embarked back to Egypt. Here they did frontier duty on the Canal and beyond, until they were despatched to Salonica. The author’s descriptions of Gallipoli and Salonica vividly portray the Regiment’s experiences of ‘real war’. After much difficult campaigning in that theatre, the scene was changed to Sinai and the Palestine frontier. “No unit of our armies, probably, had a more varied experience; and nowhere is to be found a truer picture, than is given here, of war as the fighting man sees it.”

Blind-stamped blue cloth gilt, no d/j, covers rubbed and faded, spine very faded and with small puncture in centre, spine ends and corners bumped, previous owner’s name inscribed on Title Page, edges foxed otherwise Very Good. The last of Kitchener’s Second New Army divisions the 20th was, apart from the 36th Ulster and 38th Welsh, also the last division to have a title. It was formed in September 1914 and , as its title suggests, it was composed of battalions of Rifle and Light Infantry regiments, its brigades were numbered 59th, 60th and 61st. In January 1915 one of the battalions, 11th DLI, became the divisional pioneer battalion and its place in 61st Brigade was taken by 12th King’s (Liverpool), an army troops battalion attached to the division. The first GOC was Sir E.O.F Hamilton, a sixty year old who had retired in April 1914 and whose last appointment had been commanding troops in Jersey and Guernsey. He was replaced within a month and does not rate a mention in the book, his successor was a New Zealand officer R. H. Davies; in all the division was to have six GOCs. The division moved to France in July 1915 and in the two weeks prior to embarkation all three brigade commanders were replaced, probably on grounds of age - the youngest was 58. Its first major action was a subsidiary attack in support of the Loos offensive, an action that brought the first of its six VCs to Lieut G.A. Maling RAMC of 61st Field Ambulance. During the first half of 1916 the division was in the Ypres salient where it played a supporting role during the German attack on the Canadians at Mount Sorrel; at the end of July it moved down to the Somme where it remained till March 1917, taking part in several of the battles, particularly Guillemont where the divisional memorial can be seen. It then moved back north for the Third Ypres offensive in which it suffered 4,600 casualties, distinguishing itself in the capture of Langemark where another divisional memorial located. It was at Cambrai and during the German offensive of 1918 it fought a rearguard action, continuously in action for twelve days. That it was a good division is testified by the fact that the Earl of Cavan specifically asked for it as GOC the newly formed XIV Corps, and after the Somme he made a point of asking the Army commander and C in C for not to transfer the division ‘if they can help it.’ In his introduction to this history he says: ‘The 20th Division never failed me, and never failed its neighbours during the time I had the honour to of commanding the XIVth Corps.’ The total casualty list numbered 35,470.This history is a straightforward account, devoid of heroics or emotive descriptions. Operations are adequately described, including minor and individual actions, and changes in senior commanders and staff are noted. There are useful maps to support the narrative, a good index but no appendices giving such relevant reference material as honours and awards, casualty summaries and staff lists. A New Army division, formed in September 1914, it went to France in July 1915 and fought on the Western Front throughout the war, suffering 35,470 casualties and winning six VCs. Distinguished action at Guillemont 1916, Langemark 1917 and Cambrai 1918. Command and Staff lists.

104736 Johnston, Alexander [Edited by Edwin Astill] The Great War Diaries of Brigadier General Alexander Johnston 1914-1917 Barnsley, South Yorkshire: Pen and Sword Military, 2007 6” x 9½”. [xi] + 244pp, maps, illustrations. Black cloth gilt in d/j, As New. Alexander Johnston went over to France in August 1914 as the signals officer for 7 Infantry Brigade. He went on to serve in that capacity with 3rd Division before becoming, in turn, Brigade Major, Commanding Officer 10th Battalion Cheshire Regiment and finally Officer Commanding 126 Infantry Brigade. Throughout he proved himself to be a brave, resourceful and determined soldier. He was always close to the front line, yet his signals and staff duties gave him insights into the conduct of the war at higher levels. Therein lies the value of this diary. Many of the major engagements of the war are covered. He took part in Mons, Le Cateau and the subsequent retreat and advance to the Aisne. The diary provides valuable insights into the battle of La Bassee and the trench warfare of 1915. As a Brigade Major he was kept busy in 1916 with both holding the line (in the face of intensive enemy mining operations) and the Somme battle. By 1917 his work in command of 10th Cheshire Regiment showed positive results in the battalion’s performance at Messines and gained him promotion to Brigadier General. Within days of taking command he was up at the front line where he was badly wounded. But for the wound Johnston may well have gained even higher command and wider acclaim for his services.

Besides throwing favourable light on the dictator himself, this account of Mussolini’s relations with Britain shows that Italy was ready to become Britain’s ally until Britain felt obliged to take a lead in economic sanctions against Italy for its invasion of Abyssinia in 1935. Mussolini despised Hitler and his anti-Semitism, yet felt surprised and antagonized by Britain’s mobilization of the League of Nations over the Abyssinian affair. Thus, this book shows, Britain missed the opportunity to bring the Italians onto the Allied side, as it did again when Italy attempted to make a separate peace in 1943.

Rare, but in fair condition only. The Author recalls service with a Mechanized Transport unit: “Hitherto most books on the war have dealt almost exclusively with the life in the trenches; & that is well. But the most mongrel dog has his day; and the men of the Mechanical Transport who did their bit not unworthily in that strange, crowded world behind the Line are also deserving of remembrance in their degree. After reading some of the literature of the war with its oppression of sex & cesspools, this book may seem a deliberate avoidance of reality. But memory is a stubborn thing: those men whom I learnt to know better than I shall ever know men again, had a standard of morality & decency not always attained by their peace-time traducers... The adventures in this book have developed from small grains of fact.” - from the Author’s Introduction.

106067 Lyon, James Serbia and the Balkan Front, 1914 : The Outbreak of the Great War London: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, 2015 6” x 9½”. [xvi] + 306pp, illustrations. Pictorial laminated boards, As New. Serbia and the Balkan Front, 1914 is the first history of the Great War to address in-depth the crucial events of 1914 as they played out on the Balkan Front. James Lyon demonstrates how blame for the war’s outbreak can be placed squarely on Austria-Hungary’s expansionist plans and internal political tensions, Serbian nationalism, South Slav aspirations, the unresolved Eastern Question, and a political assassination sponsored by renegade elements within Serbia’s security services. In doing so, he portrays the background and events of the Sarajevo Assassination and the subsequent military campaigns and diplomacy on the Balkan Front during 1914. The book details the first battle of the First World War, the first Allied victory and the massive military humiliations Austria-Hungary suffered at the hands of tiny Serbia, while discussing the oversized strategic role Serbia played for the Allies during 1914. Lyon challenges existing historiography that contends the Habsburg Army was ill-prepared for war and shows that the Dual Monarchy was in fact superior in manpower and technology to the Serbian Army, thus laying blame on Austria-Hungary’s military leadership rather than on its state of readiness. Based on archival sources from Belgrade, Sarajevo and Vienna and using never-before-seen material to discuss secret negotiations between Turkey and Belgrade to carve up Albania, Serbia’s desertion epidemic, its near-surrender to Austria-Hungary in November 1914, and how Serbia became the first belligerent to openly proclaim its war aims, Serbia and the Balkan Front, 1914 enriches our understanding of the outbreak of the war and Serbia’s role in modern Europe. It is of great importance to students and scholars of the history of the First World War as well as military, diplomatic and modern European history.

105028 Marc Ferro; Malcolm Brown; Remy Cazals; Olaf Mueller Meetings in No Man’s Land : Christmas 1914 and Fraternization in The Great War London: Constable and Robinson Ltd, 2007 6” x 9½”. [viii] + 264pp, maps. Green cloth blocked in silver in a rubbed d/j, Near Fine. The soldiers ‘football match’ and the unofficial ceasefire of Christmas 1914 has become a legend of the Great War, but fraternization between enemy troops was actually widespread. In winter 1914, after months of marching, soldiers on both fronts began to dig trenches, and the war became a battle of attrition in which young men faced each other across what was often only a few yards of the muddy, bombed landscape called No Man’s Land. Trapped in this devastation the soldiers of both armies experienced a shared feeling of pointlessness that culminated in the unofficial armistice of Christmas 1914, when German and English soldiers laid down their weapons for a few hours of joyful peace and carol singing. Using original research from the best European historians and discovering a history forgotten or lost in censor reports, officer journals and official reports, these brief moments of humanity are explored on all fronts during the long years of conflict.

Compiled from Official Records, the book contains extracts from Haig’s Despatches; complimentary messages received by the Corps in the field; and a selection of Special Orders. There is also a complete listing of awards to officers and men, with citations for all immediate awards (inc. VCs and MMs), and a Roll of Honour complete with an Index. Starting with the first deployment of the first crude and unreliable tanks on the Somme in September 1916, the book unrolls in chronological order, the subsequent swift development of armour, including the tank’s ‘finest hour’ at Cambrai in November 1917.

(xvii) + 279pp, maps. Original red cloth gilt with 21 Army Group insignia. The covers are dull, rubbed and faded, with the fading mainly confined to the periphery. The spine has faded significantly with total loss of original colour and is also very dull. The front and rear spine gutters have minor splits at the ends with the exception of the front spine gutter tail where there is a two-inch split which has been re-glued. The spine ends and corners are bumped and frayed with further splits to the cloth. The covers have also bowed slightly. There is a previous owner’s inscription on the front free end-paper: “W. D. H. McCardie, Lt. Col.\r\n (stamped: Comdg 17th Bn The Parachute Reg) 20 June 1946 Presented personally at Haifa, Palestine, by Field Marshal Lord Montgomery”. Facing this has been added in pencil: “Lt Col W. Derek H. McCardie P.o.W. after Arnhem Sent to Palestine with Paras after WW2”. The text is clean throughout on tanned paper (the tanning is more noticeable in the margins). A few of the many maps have been carelessly re-folded and diagram B has become completely detached. There is some play in the inner hinges and the staples used in the binding have rusted

106044 Moody, Colonel R. S. H. [Colonel R. S. H. Moody, CB, psc, Late the Buffs] Historical Records of The Buffs East Kent Regiment [3rd Foot] Formerly Designated The Holland Regiment and Prince George of Denmark’s Regiment 1914-1919 London: The Medici Society Limited, 1922 5½” x 9”. [xx] + 554pp, colour frontis, one other plate in colour, maps, illustrations (including folding maps and maps as end-papers). Blue cloth gilt, no d/j, covers rubbed, previous owner’s name inscribed, edges lightly foxed otherwise Very Good. During the Great War eight battalions of the regiment went on active service and another seven (including 1st Garrison Battalion) served at home. No less than 32,000 men passed through the ranks of the regiment of whom some 6,000 died; forty-eight battle honours were awarded and one VC. Appendices contain separate rolls of honour of officers and other ranks with names grouped alphabetically by ranks; all ranks list of honours and awards and foreign awards, and separate lists of Mention in Despatches. The 1st, 6th, 7th and 8th Battalions served on the Western Front, the 2nd Battalion in Macedonia with 28th Division following ten months in France and Belgium, the 1/4th in India and Aden, 1/5th in India and Mesopotamia and finally the 10th Battalion (formed in Egypt in Feb 1917 from two converted Kent yeomanry regiments) fought in Palestine and on the Western Front with 74th (Yeomanry) Division. Apart from one chapter describing the raising of wartime battalions and the initial disposition of the two TF battalions, and one on their affiliated regiment, the Queen’s Own Rifles of Canada, the chapters of this history each cover well-defined periods of the war in the various theatres in which the parts played by all battalions involved are recorded. The groundwork or skeleton is based on battalion, brigade or divisional war diaries, fleshed out by personal narratives and diaries provided by men who had fought and survived. Where possible, the names of the officers who became casualties in any action are given in the text after the record of the battle, but only the number in the case of other ranks. Again, wherever possible the recipients of honours (all ranks) have been named in the account as news of their decorations reached their battalion.

108013 Mrs Humphry Ward Fields of Victory London: Hutchinson & Co., n.d. [1919] 4¾” x 7¾”. [xi] + 13-260pp + Hutchinson’s catalogue of New Books for Spring 1919. Original cloth blocked in black. The covers are heavily rubbed with some old areas of staining and distinct lines of fading. There is a diagonal scuff mark on the front cover, starting at the tail of the spine, a pronounced line of fading along the top edge and another line of fading adjacent to the spine. There are some old marks on the small stains on the rear cover and the same lines of fading. The spine is severely faded, to the extent that nothing remains of the original colour, and is also stained. There is a split at the head of the front spine gutter. The spine ends and corners are bumped and frayed with further splits in the cloth. There are a number of indentations along the edges of the boards, including one on the front fore-edge where there is a small tear in the cloth. The front inner hinge is cracked and the front free end-paper has been roughly removed so the volume now opens directly to the (foxed) Half-Title page on which there is a previous owner’s name inscribed in ballpoint pen, dated 1981. There are also two short notes (in a different hand) on the rear end-paper. The paper has tanned with age, some pages have grubby marks and there is some scattered foxing. There is some separation between the inner gatherings. The edge of the text block is dust-stained and grubby (particularly the top edge) and lightly foxed. There is an erratum slip tipped in to page 239. The underside edge of the text block is not uniformly trimmed and is quite ragged. Mrs Ward’s account is surprisingly scarce in the First Edition, but this example is quite well-used, noting a severely faded and discoloured spine and missing front free end-paper. No illustrations are listed in the Table of Contents, with the Title-Page referring to “Illustrations, Coloured Map and Folding Statistical Chart”. There are two photographs (frontispiece and one facing page 90 which is partially detached), the Coloured Map is between pages 76 and 77, and the Folding Statistical Chart is at the end of the volume.

The leather spines are a little scuffed, and some of the earlier volumes have tiny paint splashes on the covers; otherwise, apart from the following two defects, a very good, tight set: Vol. III is missing a two-inch section of leather from the head of the spine; Vol. II is missing a small section of leather from the head of the spine. One of the best of the Great War histories. A heavy set with commensurate postage.

107307 Murphy, Lieut.-Colonel C. C. R. [Late The Suffolk Regiment] The History of the Suffolk Regiment 1914-1927 London: Hutchinson & Co. Ltd, n.d. [c.1928] 6” x 9¼”. 431pp, portrait frontis, illustrations, two maps (one as rear end-papers). Original printed paper-covered boards no d/j, covers rubbed and scuffed, front inner hinge cracked otherwise Very Good. On 1 January 1914, when this volume begins, the Suffolk Regiment consisted of the 1st and 2nd Battalions, the 3rd (Special Reserve) Battalion, and the 4th, 5th and 6th (Cyclist) Battalions of the Territorial Force. After the outbreak of war sixteen more battalions were raised and added, and in 1917 the Suffolk Yeomanry converted into the 15th Battalion, making a grand total of twenty-three. Battalions of the Regiment served in France and Flanders, Gallipoli, Macedonia, Egypt and Palestine, and at home.This book tells their stories, based on war diaries, private diaries, letters and interviews. In all 6,650 died, two VCs were won and 73 Battle Honours awarded. The doings of the ten battalions which proceeded overseas are all woven together into the general story contained in these pages, those of the remaining thirteen battalions form the subject matter of separate chapters. Given the scope of this volume and space considerations there is no Roll of Honour and the list of Honours and Awards is a very limited one showing only some of the more important honours gained. Inevitably some battalions get fuller treatment than others but, as Cyril Falls comments, the main events are clearly described. More maps would have been welcome. As has already been implied the narrative appears in chronological order beginning in 1914 with the 1st Battalion moving from Egypt to Khartoum and the 2nd Battalion in the Curragh with 14th Brigade, 5th Division, one of the original BEF divisions. This battalion landed in France on 14th August and was in action at Mons and Le Cateau where it suffered heavy casualties amounting to 720 killed, wounded and missing with the CO among the dead. There is a chapter devoted to this battle with a special introduction by General Smith Dorrien commanding the British troops. The 1st Battalion arrived home in October 1914 and was allotted to the newly formed regular 28th Division which landed in France in January 1915, nine months later it left France for Macedonia where it stayed to the end of the war. As the story unfolds so the various battalions on active service are brought into the picture and the part they played in the battles is described. One chapter is given to the 3rd (Special Reserve) Battalion at home and another to all the other battalions that did not go on active service.

They will thus learn our sufferings, both mental and physical, of our struggles against starvation, disease, vermin, and filth of all kinds, and in the study be able to compare the treatment meted out to Germans interned in the different countries of the Allied Powers, particularly our own, and that which we received from the hands of our captors during the time the fortunes of war had caused us to be interned in Germany. I do not pretend to be the possessor of any literary skill or talent; I have felt the lack of these powers during the time I have been engaged writing this work. Had I been fortunate enough to possess them, I should have been able to write more clearly and concisely concerning the happenings and events recorded in the following chapters. As it is, very often words have failed me to describe fully the horrors and feelings of those times. I have done my best, however, sincerely hoping that in the event of these memoirs of mine being published, they will be interesting as the actual experiences of a prisoner in German hands. I have confined myself, as far as it has been possible, to my own actual experiences, feelings, and impressions ; but where I have recorded the testimony of others I unhesitatingly say I have numberless witnesses among the men of the Allied armies interned, who were present and witnessed the sights, and endured with myself the hardships of which I write. Those men, I have not the slightest doubt, would come forward if necessary, when the war is over and they have once again been restored to freedom, to testify to the truthfulness of what I have set down, if my statements and assertions are challenged by the Hun. I sincerely hope that rigorous measures will be taken by the respective Allied Governments to bring to account those Germans who were in authority at the different Concentration Camps and working centres during the period of which I write ; and that, as the result of investigation, suitable punishment will be meted out to them for their inhuman conduct towards us, during the time we were helpless and powerless in their hands.”

104384 Read, Anthony The Devil’s Disciples : The Lives and Times of Hitler’s Inner Circle London: Jonathan Cape, 2003 6¼” x 9½”. [viii] + 984pp, illustrations. Black cloth in d/j, As New. The Nazi regime was essentially a religious cult, relying on the hypnotic personality of one man, Adolf Hitler, and it was fated to die with him. But while it lasted, his closest lieutenants competed ferociously for power and position as his chosen successor. This deadly contest accounted for many of the regime’s worst excesses, in which millions of people died, and which brought Western civilization to its knees. The Devil’s Disciples is the first major book for a general readership to examine those lieutenants, not only as individuals but also as a group. It focuses on the three Nazi paladins closest to Hitler - Goring, Goebbels and Himmler - with their nearest rivals - Bormann, Speer and Ribbentrop in close attendance. Others who were removed in various ways - like Gregor Strasser, Ernst R-hm, Heydrich and Hess - play supporting roles. Perceptive and illuminating, The Devil’s Disciples is above all a powerful chronological narrative, showing how the personalities of Hitler’s inner circle developed and how their jealousies and constant intrigues affected the regime, the war, and Hitler himself.

Blind-stamped blue cloth blocked in black in a torn, scuffed and chipped d/j missing half the spine panel, covers rubbed, spine faded, pages browned otherwise Very Good. Rare. Letters from Gallipoli, Serbia & France, arranged by his sister with a memoir by his grandfather. After Eton & Cambridge joined Royal Field Artillery in August 1914 & was killed in November 1917 with A/150 Army Brigade R.F.A. He was recommended for the M.C. but never received it & his grandfather lobbied in vain for the award after his death. George William Taylor was born in 1892, educated at Eton (“as far as his education was concerned his time at Eton was largely wasted. His talent was mathematical, his taste was for natural science, but he was forced through the usual dry classical study, which tended to dwarf rather than to develop his faculties… but he always acquitted himself with credit… He owed much, no doubt, to Eton in veneering and polish…”) and Trinity College, Cambridge. He was keen on rowing, beagling, fishing and, amongst other sports, otter-hunting. On one occasion he was “badly bitten in the wrist (and an otter’s bite is no joke)” – this particular otter had served out its own form of justice but was inevitably killed. Taylor was reading for the Bar when war came and on 15th August 1914 he was commissioned in the Royal Field Artillery. He served at Gallipoli with the 67th Brigade R.F.A. then with the 10th (Irish) Division in Salonika for several months until invalided sick. Recuperating in London, he was called to the Bar by the Inner Temple in July 1916. In April 1917 he was posted to France but was wounded on 5th June during artillery preparations for the Battle of Messines, returning again to England for hospital treatment. He sailed for France for the last time on 17th August 1917 and died of wounds (gas poisoning incurred on the night of 1st/2nd November) on 9th November whilst serving with “A” Battery, 150th Army Brigade R.F.A. He was twenty-five years old and is buried in Dozinghem Military Cemetery. Contains an account he wrote of his experiences in Serbia, his letters from France, extracts from letters from his Commanding Officer describing the manner of his passing and (in the introduction-cum-memoir by his grandfather) other extracts relating his good conduct at Messines etc. for which he had been recommended for the Military Cross (which he never received and for which his grandfather lobbied in vain after his death). An extract from his grandfather’s Introduction is quoted in the introduction to this bibliography.

105966 Teichman, Captain O. The Diary of a Yeomanry M. O. : Egypt, Gallipoli, Palestine and Italy London: T. Fisher Unwin Ltd, 1921 5½” x 9”. 284pp, frontis, illustrations, maps. Red cloth gilt, no d/j, covers marked and very rubbed, head and tail of spine frayed, shaken; a complete copy in a worn binding. The author, a Territorial medical officer in the RAMC, was attached to the Worcestershire Yeomanry (Queen’s Own Worcestershire Hussars) in 1914. The regiment was part of the 1st South Midland Brigade, 1st Mounted Division, but within a month of the outbreak of war a 2nd Mounted Division was formed and the 1st S Midland Brigade joined it. In April 1915 the division went to Egypt and in May the brigades were numbered as Mounted Brigades with 1st S Midland becoming 1st Mounted Brigade. In August 1915 the division was ordered to proceed, dismounted, to Gallipoli and Teichman went with his regiment and into action. The division suffered heavy losses at Scimitar Hill (21 Aug) and this attack is described in some detail. A week later, on Chocolate Hill, Suvla, he was wounded by shrapnel and evacuated home. In one entry he describes how a large packet of maps (in very short supply) delivered to brigade HQ turned out to be maps of Cromer, Sheringham and King’s Lynn districts where they had been stationed in 1914. He rejoined his regiment at Mudros in early November from where they returned to Egypt to the Canal zone, but at christmas Teichman went down with enteric fever and was again evacuated to the UK. By May he was back at duty (his brigade had been renumbered 5th) and during operations in the Sinai Desert was again wounded, at the battle of Qatia (5 Aug 1916) which kept him out of action till the end of October. The diarist takes us through the rest of the Sinai campaign and, in March 1917, into Palestine, first with Murray (battles of Gaza) and then, from June 1917, with Allenby, fighting as part of the Australian Mounted Division. At Huj, on 8 November, he rode close behind his regiment as it took part in a charge against some 2,000 Turkish infantry who were protecting guns manned by Austrians and Germans; the infantry retreated and the guns were taken. The marvellous descriptions of living and fighting in the desert include an incident involving a ten foot black mamba and attempts to kill it using chloroform (corps HQ had asked for dead but undamaged snakes for antidotes to snakebites). He left the Middle East in June 1918 for leave in the UK after which he was posted to Italy where he joined 22nd Brigade (7th Division) in October for the last month of the war. Teichman ended the war with a DSO, MC, Croix de Guerre, Croci di Guerra and three mentions in despatches.

108244 Thomas, W. Beach With the British on the Somme London: Methuen & Co. Ltd, 1917 5” x 7¾”. [viii] + 285pp, publisher’s catalogue. Blind-stamped red cloth, no d/j, covers rubbed and faded (particularly the spine), head and tail of spine bumped, edges & end-papers lightly foxed, previous owner’s name inscribed otherwise Very Good. The Author was a Daily Mail reporter, originally he was arrested by the army and returned to Britain, however it was later decided to allow a few reporters to follow the army under strict censorship. The book is particularly interesting as it reports a British victory in a battle that was far from that, thus demonstrating just how influential the army was in controlling reporting of events on the Front.

107346 Thomson, C. B.

Falls rated it highly: “There have been plenty of soldiers who were good writers and even some who were good novelists, but it is rare to encounter a soldier who is master of such delicate, almost feminine prose as this.” Quite apart from the love story, Thomson’s diplomatic and military escapades in Roumania give a convincing insight into the power-politics at play, 1915 - 1917, as the Allies and the Central Powers, mired in the Western Front, wrestled in the Balkans to out-flank each other diplomatically and then militarily.

There is a pronounced crease along the top corner, with a tear in the cover at the end of the crease (on the leading edge) and a small slit in the wrapper just above this. The printed front cover is quite dull, with further shallow creasing and a few marks. There is red staining on the rear cover, near the tail and a stained and abraded patch near the head; beneath this is a small hole in the cover. The rear cover is also dull, creased and marked. The staples have rusted and the corners are creased. This original Edition was formerly in the Imperial War Museum: there is an Imperial War Museum stamp in the margin of page1, defaced with a “Withdrawn from Stock” stamp, and a number in ballpoint near the top corner of this page, again defaced with a “Withdrawn from Stock” stamp. The fore-edge of the first twelve pages is damaged with some loss. The loss is greatest on page 1, then gradually becomes less, up to page 13, where there is no loss but a tear in the paper on this and a few other pages. There is also clear evidence of internal staining, affecting the area along the inner margins, from the head down to the tail of the spine. The text is generally clean throughout, although not of the highest quality (for obvious reasons). Also, page 1 is quite grubby, particularly in the margins.

Formed of the admirable material which was then available, they fully lived—and died—up to the standard of their famous regiment, of which Sir James Willcocks records that “none more devoted and none more valiant” served in the late War. Few episodes could be finer than that of the gallant handful of the 16th who literally carried out Colonel Elstob’s order on March 21st, 1918: “Here we fight, here we die.” We are glad to see that this well-printed volume is sold at a price which should bring it within the reach of Manchester survivors and relatives of the fallen.”

107174 Wyrall, Everard [with a Foreword by Field Marshal Sir G. F. Milne, G.C.B., G.C.M.G., D.S.O.] The Gloucestershire Regiment in the War 1914-1918 : The Records of the 1st (28th) 2nd (61st) 3rd (Special Reserve) and 4th, 5th and 6th (First-Line T. A.) Battalions London: Methuen & Co. Ltd, 1931 [1st Ed.] 5½” x 9”. [ix] + 357pp, portrait frontis, twenty maps. Blue cloth gilt, no d/j, covers rubbed, end-papers foxed, Bookseller’s label and markings on front pastedown otherwise Very Good. As the subtitle states these are the records of the 1st (28th Foot), 2nd (61st Foot)), 3rd (Special Reserve) and 4th, 5th and 6th (First-Line T.A.) Battalions, in other words this is the history of the battalions of the regiment which existed prior to the outbreak of war. The one appendix lists the twenty-four battalions that existed during the war, indicating the theatre of war in which they served and in which division. Eight of these battalions did not serve overseas, and of the rest only one (7th Service Battalion) did not serve on the Western Front, it went with 13th Division to Gallipoli, Mesopotamia and Persia. Total losses amounted to 8,100, 72 battle honours were awarded and in the appendix is shown which honours were awarded to which battalion, information rarely seen in any other Great War regimental history; and four VCs were won but only one of them by one of the battalions covered in this book (Pte G. Miles, 1/5th Battalion). In August 1914 the 1st Battalion was stationed in Bordon, part of the 3rd Infantry Brigade, 1st Division, and was among the first British troops to disembark in Le Havre, on 13th August. The first quarter of this book is concerned with the doings of the 1st Battalion which saw action in the early battles of the war - Mons and the retreat, the Marne, the Aisne, First Ypres and Givenchy. The 2nd Battalion was in China when war broke out and came home to join the newly formed 81st Brigade, 27th Division which arrived in France in December 1914 and in November 1915 was transferred to Salonika, where it remained for the rest of the war. Three chapters of the book deal with the operations in that theatre of war. The three Territorial battalions were in the South Midland Division, later the 48th which crossed to France at the end of March 1915 and fought on the Western front till November 1917, when it was sent to Italy where it remained till the armistice. The final chapter gives the account of operations in that theatre. The author, a well known military historian, was probably the most prolific among the writers of regimental and divisional histories, some thirteen in all, and this account reflects the skill of the writer in producing a very readable narrative, which draws on the Battalion Diary, on individual accounts of actions, some quite lengthy, and makes use of footnotes to give casualty details in addition to those contained in the text, various comments, and items of information from other sources to confirm or add to the main text. The maps are good. There is no Roll of Honour nor list of honours and awards.

105809 Ziemann, Benjamin War Experiences in Rural Germany 1914-1923 Oxford and New York: Berg Publishers, 2007 [First published in 1997 in German by Klartext Verlag, Essen] 5½” x 8¾”. [xiii] + 302pp. Original printed boards, no d/j [as issued], As New. World War I was a uniquely devastating total war that surpassed all previous conflicts for its destruction. But what was the reality like on the ground, for both the soldiers on the front-lines and the women on the homefront? Drawing on intimate firsthand accounts in diaries and letters, War Experiences in Rural Germany examines this question in detail and challenges some strongly held assumptions about the Great War. The author makes the controversial case for the blurring of front and homefront. He shows that through the constant exchange of letters and frequent furloughs, rural soldiers maintained a high degree of contact with their home lives. In addition, the author provides a more nuanced interpretation of the alleged brutalizing effect of the war experience, suggesting that it was by far not as complete as has been previously understood. This pathbreaking book paints a vivid picture of the dynamics of total war on rural communities, from the calling up of troops to the reintegration of veterans into society.
