"The creation of this association was the first tangible outcome of the organizational efforts made by wounded Republican veterans. According to their provisional programme their key concern was to remain 'useful' útiles to the war effort and provide 'unconditional help to the government'. It was stated that the association should 'educate and re-educate the disabled veterans in physical and cultural terms. As a consequence of the efforts made by the LNMIG on behalf of disabled veterans the government gave preference to the war wounded to fill vacant menial jobs such as janitors messengers and the like" cf.Matthews James.

1918205021918. Buffalo Soldier regiments depicted in stereoview photographs from the World War I era document African American cavalrymen and infantry units serving in segregated formations of the United States Army during the early twentieth century. These images record soldiers from several historically significant Black military units including the 9th U.S. Cavalry the 10th Cavalry and the 369th Infantry Regiment. African American soldiers served in large numbers during World War I despite segregation in the armed forces and the war marked a turning point in public recognition of Black military service. The photographs capture cavalry movement machine gun training and celebratory returns from the European front preserving visual evidence of the military presence and public visibility of Buffalo Soldiers during the conflict.<br /> <br /> Archive consists of seven stereoview photographs published by the Keystone View Company during the World War I period. The views depict soldiers from the 9th U.S. Cavalry the 8th Regiment of Colored Troops the 10th Cavalry the Chicago Regiment of Colored Troops and the 15th Regiment of the 369th Infantry. Two stereoviews show Black machine gun companies operating Lewis guns one of the principal light machine guns used on the Western Front during the war. Another view shows Troop K of the 10th Cavalry moving on horseback at Camp Chickamauga in Georgia. Additional stereoviews depict African American soldiers returning from European service and marching in public celebrations including scenes of troops parading along major boulevards such as Fifth Avenue in New York.<br /> <br /> The Buffalo Soldier regiments had already established a long military record before the First World War. Units such as the 10th Cavalry formed part of the segregated Regular Army created after the Civil War and served in campaigns across the western United States during the Indian Wars later participating in the Spanish American War the Philippine American War and operations during the Mexican Revolution. World War I marked one of the final periods in which cavalry units remained visible in American military organization as mechanized armor and motorized vehicles soon replaced mounted troops. At the same time Black soldiers who returned from service were celebrated in wartime parades yet continued to face segregation and racial discrimination within American society. Stereoview cards remain well preserved with light age wear typical of early twentieth century photographic prints. Very good condition overall and a visually compelling record of Buffalo Soldiers during the World War I era. unknown

1937SPANISHC002314Left Review London. 1937. First edition. Royal octavo. 24 pages. Wrappers. A publication arising from a letter signed by twelve European writers prominent in Europe including Aragon W.H. Auden Nancy Cunard Heinrich Mann Pablo Neruda Ramon Sender Tristan Tzara etc. The letter was addressed to the writers of England Scotland Ireland and Wales and asked whether they were for or against the government of Republican Spain. Somehow Ezra Pound got involved he was neutral in a combative kind of way: ''Spain is an emotional luxury to a gang of sap-headed dilettantes''. The majority of responses were in favour and these include messages from Samuel Beckett ''�Up the Republic!'' - almost the shortest contribution Kay Boyle Thomas Burke Cyril Connolly Aleister Crowley C. Day Lewis Liam O'Flaherty Ford Madox Ford David Gascoyne Victor Gollancz Laurence Housman Aldous Huxley C.L.R. James Arthur Koestler John Lehmann Rose Macaulay ''AGAINST FRANCO'' - the shortest contribution Hugh Macdiarmid Louis MacNeice John Middleton Murry Sylvia Pankhurst V.S. Pritchett Herbert Read Olaf Stapledon Sylvia Townsend Warner Clough Williams-Ellis etc etc. In the neutral camp were Vera Brittain Robert Byron T.S. Eliot H.G. Wells V. Sackville-West etc. Only five messages are in the ''Against'' section including ones from Edmund Blunden Arthur Machen and Evelyn Waugh. The following year a similar exercise was carried out in America where 418 writers gave their opinions. This pamphlet has also been the inspiration for questionnaires on the Vietnam War and even the Falklands War.Foxing mostly light on almost every page. Covers lightly stained. Spine starting to split.

193452881London: H.R.G. Jefferson et al 1934-1939. NOTE: Other identified publishers all London include: Unthanks Bookshop; R. Bishop; William Massey. Beginning in July 1938 title changes to "World News and Views." <br /> <br /> Collection of two hundred forty-nine quarto issues in original staple-bound self-wrappers. Each issue 27cm x 21cm; most issues ca 20pp numbered sequentially. General wear occasional creasing or small losses; some copies marked as "File Copies;" some with red pencil annotations presumably for publication; a few issues with ink pressure stamp of the Los Angeles Workers Library. With the exception of a few issues in 1934 the journal was printed on high-quality newsprint; the run is well-preserved Very Good overall and fully readable.<br /> <br /> The periodical was issued irregularly from one to as many as three issues per week; our run collates as follows: <br /> <br /> Vol. 14 1934: 28-14161719-232629-3234-3638-4043-455760-63 32 issues<br /> Vol. 15 1935: 1-58-3136383944474850555658596163646668-72 49 issues<br /> Vol. 16 1936: 1246-3032-384042-58 53 issues<br /> Vol. 17 1937: 248-242642444547-5355-57 47 issues<br /> Vol. 18 1938: 1-35-81012-2325273031333436-4044-47525456-60 38 issues <br /> Vol. 19 1939: 2-91415181920-2628-3235-4155 30 issues. Beginning in 1918 immediately following the Russian Revolution International Press Correspondence usually called by its acronym INPRECOR became the Communist International's principal international organ for distributing "official" news of the global spread of Marxist ideology. The paper was issued in four languages English French Spanish and German and at its height no fewer than one and as many as three issues per week appeared. The chief audience was the editorial staffs of COMINTERN-aligned newspapers where many of INPRECOR's articles would be republished verbatim. Thus INPRECOR served as a de facto press service for the left-wing media in Europe North and Latin America.<br /> <br /> In our experience cohesive runs of INPRECOR in any size are unusual; this collection represents a veritable treasure-trove of official COMINTERN policy during the Popular Front period especially valuable for its day-by-day coverage and interpretation of events in Spain before during and after the Civil War and for documenting the rise of fascism across the European continent. Our run ends in August 1939 on the eve of Germany's invasion of Poland and the outbreak of the Second World War. Between that date and 1934 despite occasional lacunae the issues offered here provide a clear and compelling narrative of the sweep of world events leading to the World War and an intimate view of the communist left's response to those events. <br /> <br /> Even individual issues are somewhat scarce in commerce. Earlier issues of INPRECOR have been digitized by the Marxist Internet Archive ending in 1934. Much of the run is available in microfiche produced by the Communist Party of Great Britain but the imaging is of legendarily poor quality basically illegible in many places. Holdings for physical issues are spotty per WorldCat with many institutions holding small samples or partial runs. H.R.G. Jefferson [et al] unknown

1936142062Spain & northern Europe: 1936-41. Auf-zum! so ging es tagtäglich" "Off we go! That's how it went every day" An exceptional and unusually complete archive documenting the career of Leutnant Konrad Ellermann a decorated airman who served with the Condor Legion in Spain and later in flying-boat operations on the Eismeer Front. Centred on two meticulously compiled photograph albums and augmented by scarce supporting documents it offers a rare coherent visual record of theatres where comprehensive personal archives seldom survive. The first album charts his Condor Legion service beginning with 43 tourist views of Spain and 25 informal images of squadron life followed by sequences showing Heinkel 59 flying boats in preparation and in flight with aerial views of enemy positions and bomb damage. Ellermann dedicates a page to comrades killed in March 1938 almost certainly the crew of the HE 59 downed near Cambrils and records their funerals and repatriation. Additional images include Condor Legion fighters He 51 He 112 Bf 109 long-range raids from Portbou to Oropesa and bombed railway lines. A section headed "Einiges von den Taten!" depicts two merchant vessels sunk by his unit - the British SS Jean Weems and the Danish SS Edith - alongside further action shots. The album closes with off-duty scenes and high-quality aerial photographs of Pollença Tangier and Portbou. The second album covers northern service. It opens with trials of the Dornier Do 26 flying boat in late 1938 with fine airborne views images of the second prototype and photographs of Dornier staff at work. Other aircraft represented include the Blohm & Voss Ha 139 the Latécoère 521 and the Dornier Do 18. Around 20 aerial views of Norway follow including encounters with He 111s and Ellermann's aircraft moored in Rombaken fjord culminating in a medal ceremony featuring Oberleutnant Karl Otto Max Barth. A final section documents his posting with Flussklärungsfliegerstaffel 1/125 in Finland with portraits of his Heinkel HD 114 scenes in Helsinki and Turku maintenance shots and a concluding portrait of Ellermann. Born in Geisingen in 1915 Ellermann began as a funkmeister before becoming an observer in 1938. He received the Iron Cross First and Second Class the Narvikschild the Frontflugspange für Kampfflieger in gold and silver the Luftwaffe Honour Cup and the Deutsches Kreuz in Gold. His service included AS-88 in Spain 1937-38 Sonderstaffel Tr. O 1939-41 Küstenflieger-Staffel 1/406 in Norway 1942-43 and Seeaufklärungsgruppe 131 1943-45. His surviving logbook records 484 flights between October 1937 and March 1944 378 of them operational including 62 Condor Legion sorties on ships and towns such as Barcelona Sagunto and Alicante. Later missions encompassed reconnaissance and anti-submarine patrols over the North Sea and Norwegian coast one section countersigned by Captain Martin Harlinghausen later the Luftwaffe's leading ship-killer of the Second World War. 4 items.
