191898475France. July 20 1918. 1918. Very good. - Octavo 7 inch high by 4-1/2 inch wide. Approximately 173 words penned on three of the four sides of a folded sheet of personalized letterhead. The letterhead from his family home of Brockhurst Grange Road Guernsey was used elsewhere as is indicated by the identification having a line crossed through it. Dugmore is most probably writing from France. He writes to the American lecture manager James B. Pond that "I am to return under the instructions of the comparatively new Ministry of Information as soon as I have gathered the material I want. This will include the results of a visit to the front both with the British & American forces in France a probable visit to the Grand Fleet visits to the largest munitions works & ship yards. So I hope to be ready to return in September. That is to say leaving here about the middle of that month. The plan to go to the west coast California etc. will be first rate.By the way I have been a Major since Feb 10th & never knew it till the other day." He signs in full "Very truly yrs A Radclyffe Dugmore". In a postscript he writes: "Are you mentioning the African lecture for the west". Pond has stamped the note:"ANS'D AUG 29 1918". A few words are slightly smudged and the letter is folded twice for mailing. Very good. <p>The big game photographer and author Major Arthur Radclyffe Dugmore 1870-1952 was also an artist illustrating some of his books and producing a series of prints of wildlife. He traveled extensively photographing and filming animals throughout the world and particularly in Africa. The author of "The Wonderland of Big Game" "The Romance of the Beaver" "Camera Adventures in the African Wilds" and "The Romance of the Newfoundland Caribou" among others his films include "The Wonderland of Big Game". He was the subject of a 1931 Lowell Thomas biography "Rolling Stone: The Life and Adventures of Arthur Radclyffe Dugmore".<p>At the beginning of World War 1 Dugmore went to the battle front and recorded his experiences. He wrote of them in his book "When the Somme Ran Red". Quoting from the dust jacket of the book: "This book was written during wartime by a gassed British infantry officer incapacitated and no longer fit for service in the trenches. Dugmore was an unusual soldier who would normally have been considered too old for front line duties from the outset. He was already well into middle age at the outbreak of hostilities having spent a career as a naturalist and sportsman and it was only due to influential friends that he managed to obtain a commission in an infantry regiment - the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry. Yet this was not his first experience of the Western Front. As the German Army swept into Belgium the civilian Dugmore-armed only with a cine camera-travelled to the front as the small Belgian Army vainly attempted to stem the advance to experience the war at first hand. His account of this early stage of the war makes unusual and fascinating reading. After joining the army the author joined his regiment serving in the trenches during the period leading towards the First Battle of the Somme in 1916 and it is this and his time during the battle itself that are the principal subjects in this account." [France?]. July 20, 1918. unknown

190455454London: Rowland Ward Ltd. 1904. Tall 8vo. xvi 292 pp. plus 2 pp. publisher’s ads. Photo frontisp. 44 photos and plates 1 large folding map in rear pocket. Green publisher’s cloth gilt lettering front cover & spine simulated Zebra skin endpapers minor bumping to corners edgewear slight spotting on the spine still VG copy. First edition of this excellent early account of hunting on the Kenai Peninsula including descriptions of Alaskan Native Americans salmon cannery operations and more. Radclyffe had acquired a permit from the Bureau of Biological Survey with the USDA in order to collect big game specimens for the British Museum and the account was dedicated to a longtime fellow hunter and friend Theodore Roosevelt. The author details his experiences with hunting Alaskan Brown Bears Grizzly Bears Moose Dall Sheep and running afoul of the zealous US Deputy Marshal Sexton a stickler for the new game regulations instituted on the Kenai in 1903 not to mention destroying the distilling operation of Alaskan hunter & miner Andrew Berg. He managed to survive a charging bear sow after being abandoned by his guide as well as the Alaskan courtroom but his companions were not so lucky as the judge ruled that the permit did not extend to the hunting party. Radclyffe returned later to hunt Alaska on the Kenai in August 1910 employing Andrew Berg as his head guide.
