2419430 December 1947; on letterhead of Poplar Cottage Beltinge Cliffs Herne Bay. 6 March 1948; from Poplar Cottage. Berry was hugely popular during the Edwardian period and into the First World War.

Graves used to say & its many a long year since I last saw you - & much has happened since “those were the days†& carriages were at 11. I have been thinking a lot lately of those days & evenings when I used to see you entering my tube train at Finsbury Park both bound for Theatreland & our work therein - which we both loved.’ He praises MP’s ‘recent writing on my favourite topic & my one & only period - the theatre in my time say from 1890 onwards!’ He is fulsome in praise of MP’s work adding ‘My friend Wyatt shares these joys with me & he tells me visited you recently . Strange isnt it that Wyatt is the nephew of my old dresser Bartlett. Who was with me for years until he died’ He discusses his past ill health adding ‘I’m really in pretty good form considering I’m 77 - in fact only 3 months short of 78.’’ After the death of his beloved wife he has been fortunate enough to marry ‘an old friend of ours of over 40 years & has lived here for the past 10 years . My wife passed away last January & my dear & I were married at Canterbury on July 17’. He ends with enquiries after ‘Jack Macqueen’. TWO: 6 March 1948. 2pp 4to and postscript of 2pp 12mo. He is sorry that he has not been ‘up to’ responding to MP’s two recent letters and now thanks him ‘for the Copy of that nice little mag “The Playgoer†which was naturally made more interesting by our article on “Gaiety Gals†- including pictures of Sylvia Storey & Jean Alwyn both in “Havanaâ€! Also my old publicity “guvoner†sic H. C. G Inky Stevens has an article on “Show folk†which I enjoyed - as you may imagine. Of course I could not refrain from a little longing when I thought of Gaiety “Havana†& “Show folkâ€! Ah me.’ He has sent him a photograph of the Lowther Arcade as he ‘thought the sight of the dear old place might have revived a few delightful memories’. ‘I was much amused about your story of Alphours & Tauber & I hope that when you refer to my book for anything you want you won’t miss my anecdotes about 1 Geo Edwardes & Willie Ward at a “Cuts†rehearsal “I must save time†& 2 Geo Edwardes greeting Alfred Lester who had called to protest about me having all the numbers to sing in “Havanaâ€'. In a postscript he writes: ‘I like you am so fond of & wrapped up in the Theatre that I love to write about it - if I write any-thing & I thought I’d struck a good idea & a good title when I wrote a book recently: - / “The Private life of a Theatre†/ The first chapter was an account of a visit to a typical musical comedy with everything that happens from the entry of the orchestra to the final curtain & then I say: - “now those few hours are all the general public know of the life of a theatre: but what about all those other 20 hours Does nothing happen†etc etc / But Hutchinson’s didn’t like it so its put away in Lavender with other mementos.’ 30 December 1947; on letterhead of Poplar Cottage, Beltinge Cliffs, Herne Bay. 6 March 1948; from Poplar Cottage. unknown

1945517This is a set which belonged to Janusz Gluchowski, a high-ranking Polish military officer at the time of the WW2. The set contains three original B&W pictures. First one: undated postcard showing Marshal Jozef Pilsudski, signed by himself in black ink, 8.5 x 13.5 cm, with two embossed mentions above and below. Second picture: undated postcard showing Poland President Gabriel Narutowicz, with a written mention on the back. Third picture: 11 x 15.5 cm photograph. General Tadeusz Bór-Komorowski inspecting a British Cromwell tank, accompanied by Polish officers of the 3rd Armored Regiment (3 puk pancerny). The image was captured during an official ceremony in the city of Kelso, Scotland, in the immediate post-war period, on June 15, 1945. The scene shows the General in an observation position, climbing onto the tank while surrounded by Polish soldiers. The tank corresponds to a British model widely used by Polish forces in exile during the Western European campaign. On the reverse, the following handwritten inscriptions appear: VI 1945, Kelso. N. Wódz gen. Bór-Komorowski dokonuje inspekcji 3 p. panc. N. Wódz w towarzystwie bryg. puku na czogu." / June 15, 1945, Kelso The book is an illustrated three-languages (Polish, English and Italian) set commemorating the struggles of the Polish II Corps. Edited by Wyda Rererat [Referat] Kultury i Prasy Kresowej Dywizji Piechoty in Rome, 1945. Oblong book of 21 x 19 cm, unpaginated (144 pp.). Cover detached. Endpapers and first page show Janusz Gluchowski's stamp. In publisher's photographically illustrated wrappers. Each page contains a photographic image or a photomontage accompanied with a short text in three languages. Front cover shows some wear and tear, the binding is a bit loose - we would advise having this book bound. The Polish II Corps was a major tactical and operational unit recruited from Polish deportees in the Soviet Gulags in 1943. First they fought in the Middle East, and in 1944 February they were transferred to Italy and as independent part of the British Army to fight in the Italian campaign, in the battles of Monte Cassino and Ancona and also the Battle of Bologna during the final offensive in Italy in 1945. The book goes through the story of Poland and the later established Polish II Corps, starting with the German and Soviet occupation in 1939. It shows the deportation of Poles to forced labour to the Gulag and, after the Polish-Russian Military Agreement in 1941, the establishment of the Polish Army on Soviet soil, also their military training and their fights in various battles. Janusz Julian Gluchowski was a Major General in the Polish Army during the Second Polish Republic. He was born on August 6, 1888, in Bukowa. He fought in the Polish Legions in World War I, the Polish-Ukrainian War, the Polish-Soviet War, and the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany, Slovakia, and the Soviet Union in 1939, which culminated in the start of World War II. In his adolescence, he attended high school in Czstochowa. In 1905, he became a member of the Combat Organization of the Polish Socialist Party and was wounded in the hand during an attack near Czstochowa. To avoid arrest by the Russian authorities, he left for Belgium, where he studied at the University of Liège. He returned to divided Poland around 1910 and settled in Austrian Galicia. In 1912 he graduated from the Officers' School of the Riflemen's Association in Stroza, near Krakow. In the early hours of August 1914, he commanded a platoon in Oleandria and was Wadysaw Belina-Pramowski's representative during the legendary attack of the so-called Seven Lancers of Belina (Uaska siódemka). On August 6th, together with the First Cadre Company, he left Krakow and marched to Miechów. In October 1914 he was promoted to Lieutenant (Poruchik) and, in November 1916, to Rittmeister (Cavalry Master). Until 1917 he served in the First Uhlan Regiment of the Polish Legions. After the Oath Crisis (Kryzys przysigowy) he was interned first in Fort Beniaminów and later in Werl. Released in October 1918, he went to Lublin, where, in early November, he formed the Third Ulan Regiment (later renamed the Seventh Ulan Regiment of Lublin). Along with his unit, he fought in the Polish-Soviet War. On May 29, 1920, he was promoted to Polkovnik. He was transferred in July 1920 to Eastern Galicia, taking command of the First Cavalry Brigade, fighting against the Soviets in Galicia and Volhynia. After the war, he remained in this position until 1925, when he was transferred to the Fourth Cavalry Brigade. Promoted to Brigadier General on March 16, 1927. Appointed commander of the Center for Higher Military Studies on June 4, 1930, and three years later, after the death of General Stanislaw Tessaro, he was appointed commander of Military District X in Przemyl. In October 1935, he became Deputy Minister of Military Affairs. In the early days of the 1939 invasion of Poland, Gluchowski ordered General Walerian Czuma to prepare the defense of Warsaw. In mid-September 1939, he fled to Romania. After his escape, he managed to travel to the Middle East and, in January 1941, received orders to go to London. In October 1941, he was appointed Commander of the Training Brigade stationed in Scotland. On September 23, 1943, he was appointed commander of all Polish Army units stationed in Great Britain, except the First Independent Parachute Brigade, which remained under the authority of the Commander-in-Chief. He was promoted to Major General on June 1, 1945. He decided not to return to Soviet-occupied Poland and remained in Great Britain. He frequently criticized the Soviet regime and the Soviet occupation authorities in postwar Poland. Furthermore, he was one of the founders and president of the Jozef Pilsudski Institute in London. He was, therefore, an active member of the Polish community in Great Britain. He was president and honorary member of several Polish veterans' organizations. He died on June 11, 1964, in London, England.
