21046Whin Cottage Beechy Leees Otford near Sevenoaks Kent. On cancelled letterhead of the Daily Mail London. 23 January 1941. See Knox's obituary Times 4 May 1977 which refers to 'some passages at arms' he had at the BBC with Sir John Reith. 3pp. 4to. In good condition lightly aged with minor staining from paperclip. An interesting glimpse into the world of Fleet Street 'big salaries' during the war period. He begins: 'My dear Collin Brooks A letter such as yours from a man such as yourself for whom I have so strong a personal and professional regard comes as a gleam of blue in a darkish sky.' He proceeds to bemoan his sacking by the Daily Mail: 'Yes it is a bad business. Six months ago having had two cracking offers I asked the Mail people if they were not renewing my contract would they tell me. … Then ten days ago Prew the Editor who is but a mouthpiece for Stanley Bell sent for me and said just this “Papers are so small. Your work needs Space. You are still our star writer but as your salary is so big we tell you we cannot renew your contractâ€. Not a word of thanks of appreciation of my work no regret . . . just given three weeks notice like a housemaid. It is odd for me to recall that I was told officially a year or so ago that my work had put about 200000 on the circulation! Well there it is. It is not pleasant having £4000 a year swept away from under one in the middle of a war . . And yet I have a strange feeling of freedom of relief from serving people who are utterly inhuman ungrateful and who seem to me in their outlook and action to typify all we are fighting Against'. He discusses his agent 'Mr A S Watt' and the 'old offers from Beaverbrook and Kemsley' which 'do not hold good now . . small papers etc'. 'It is some consolation that the Street and the Mail staff appear to think that R i.e. Rothermere and Bell have gone mad. He asks if Brooks knows 'Brown of the Amalgamated Press or could say a word to Beaverbrook or Kemsley . . or even Robertson of the Express group'. He concludes: 'But big salaries are over I know . . for the war. But I would be glad of a job in which I could do my damnest sic for people who would treat me properly.' The autograph postscript concerns his forthcoming 'War book called “Heroes All†Hodder & Stoughton' regarding which 'the Ministry of Information are keen … specially for America'. After the war Knox returned to the Daily Mail and remained there until 1955. Such was Knox's celebrithy that his name according to Patridge was used as rhyming slang for 'pox'. Whin Cottage, Beechy Leees, Otford, near Sevenoaks, Kent. (On cancelled letterhead of the Daily Mail, London.) 23 January 1941. unknown
Red and blue cloth with paper title label to front cover and gilt lettering to spine. All volumes in Near Fine or Fine condition. Slight scrape mark on cover of volume five. " The Lisle Letters consist of the personal, official, and business correspondence of the household of Arthur Plantagenet, Viscount Lisle, the illegitimate but acknowledged son of Edward IV, during the years 1533 to 1540 when he was Lord Deputy of Calais. These seven critical years in English history were marked by the rise, ascendency, and fall of Thomas Cromwell and the letters reflect the mixture of passion, terror, and politics that was the court of Henry VIII. They also present the everyday concerns of the Lisle household. No other source provides such an abundance of detail about daily life - marriage, child rearing, education, clothing, food, and furnishing. The Lisle Letters are the Tudor world in microcosm."

This is the story of an ordeal sustained by the flesh and blood of United Nations soldiers American Soldiers Republic of Korea soldiers and the innocent and defenseless refugees. Edward Lee Daily was 17 when he met an Army recruiting sergeant with "medals plastered all over his chest" Mr. Daily wrote in a short memoir. Mr. Daily picked the cavalry. Mr. Daily wrote about becoming an expert marksman with the Seventh Cavalry Regiment. Military records show Mr. Daily joined the Seventh Cavalry in 1951. Mr. Daily began focusing on Korea after a 1986 reunion of cavalry veterans. "If you guys will get me stories I'll put them together and we'll put them in a book" Mr. Daily told attendees Mr. Down said. At this and other reunions the best stories emerged in the bar and Mr. Daily had a knack for injecting himself into the conversation veterans said. Mr. Daily was without question a linchpin in efforts to preserve and honor the memory of the Seventh Cavalry and served as its president in the early 1990's. In 1993 he attended a ceremony in South Dakota with members of the Lakota Sioux tribe to help make amends for the 1890 massacre at Wounded Knee by the Cavalry. The 1st Cavalry Division initially organized in September 1921 at Fort Bliss Texas was serving on occupation duty in Japan when the Korean War began in the summer of 1950. On 18 July 1950 elements of the division went ashore at P'ohang-dong South Korea moving quickly westward to block the enemy along the main Taejon-Taegu corridor which led back to the ports on the Sea of Japan. With unrelenting pressure from the enemy the division withdrew to Kumch'on and later east of the Naktong River where it held part of the front near Taegu on the Pusan perimeter. During the month of August "The First Team" successfully countered five major North Korean attacks in that section. In early September the division launched an attack against the "Walled City" a series of high mountain ridges along the perimeter which the enemy repelled. On 15 September however the United Nations began a new offensive with an amphibious landing at Inch'on near Seoul; with the opening of the second front the 1st Cavalry Division began a drive northwest of Taegu. Six days later the division broke out of the perimeter and North Korean pressure in the south ended. Pursuit of the enemy followed and on 27 September the division met the 7th Infantry Division at Osan. From there the 1st Cavalry Division shifted north to the Kaesong area near the 38th Parallel the dividing line between North and South Korea. On 9 October the 1st Cavalry Division was ordered to take Kumch'on in North Korea which fell on 14 October. Shortly thereafter the division reached P'yongyang the North Korean capital. Elements of the division linked up with the 187th Airborne Infantry at Sunch'on and other elements turned southwest to Chinnamp'o the main port of North Korea. On 1 November a new more savage conflict began. Waves of enemy forces swept over the 1st Cavalry Division area near Unsan and the division fell back to a line between the coast and the Taedong River valley. By 12 December the division had withdrawn to only six miles north of Seoul and in January 1951 it occupied positions south of Seoul in the Ch'ungju area. Seoul had been captured but the enemy did not cross the Han River. When the enemy failed to follow up its recapture of Seoul the 1st Cavalry Division undertook a reconnaissance in force resulting in a limited offensive north and west of the capital. By the end of February "The First Team" had reached the Hongch'on area in the central front midway between Seoul and the Sea of Japan. In February the 1st Cavalry Division pushed to the Hwach'on Reservoir north of the 38th Parallel and then went into reserve. On 22 April the Chinese Communists began a new offensive to dislodge the UN forces and the division was given the mission of defending Seoul and the area north of the city. The division pushed northward and by the end of May it was again in North Korea. The 1st Cavalry Division's next assignment was to attack the "Iron Triangle" an area from P'yonggang southeast to Ch'orwon and southwest to Kumhwa which served as a marshalling zone for the enemy. In December 1951 the 45th Infantry Division replaced the 1st Cavalry Division which then began redeploying to Hokkaido Japan. The last element of the 1st arrived in Japan in mid-January 1952.
