30641<p>Small octavo 127 manuscript pp. bound in original limp leather entries dated 21 May to 13 July 1919 and 25 January to 19 May 1919 written in ink in legible hand; first 50 pp consists of the diary for the time period of 21 May to 13 July 1919; the next 60 pp are apparently entries from another diary copied into this diary for the dates of 25 January to 19 May 1919 giving a total time period of the diary for 25 January to 13 July 1919. The last 17 pp of volume contains various memorandum notes including: "Partial list of books I read in France" the poem "Ladies" by Rudyard Kipling a list of different types of alcoholic beverages a poem "Jim" a quote from "Ben Hur" and "Wicksteed" a poem "To the Unknown Goddess" a poem "Jealousy" plus two other notes about war and food.</p><p> <b>Description of Diary:</b></p><p> The name of the author of the diarist is unknown at present although with research his name could presumably be found. The author is a male who is serving in the United States Army in 1919 as a driver transporting officers to various locales in France near the former frontlines. The war had just ended 11 Nov. 1918 a little over two months before this diary begins 25 Jan. 1919 thus our author sees a number of the former battle fields and entrenchments of the frontlines various destroyed French cities and towns and he makes a tour of Paris. He also visits war cemeteries and attends various events at the Red Cross or at Base Hospital 53 amongst other places. </p><p> There is much about his regular care and maintenance of his car and picking up military officers and travel to other military installations towns or places or simply acting as the driver as the officers go out on the town pick up prostitutes bed them at a local hotel and afterwards driving both the officer and prostitute to their respective homes. </p><p> The diary recounts the various 'joyrides' that the author and his fellow servicemen take to nearby towns the dinners they seek out meeting French girls bartering with the local French population with cash chocolates and cigarettes for various items like watches fruit gloves etc. The diary also recounts the steamer ride home from France to Newport News Virginia which took from 24 June to 5 July.</p><p> <b> Sample Quotes from the Diary:</b></p><p>"From other diary</p><p>Jan 25 1919</p><p>Have neglected diary.

They are whiter than I thought it possible a negro to get. Still windy and rough. Good dinner. Moderating slightly in afternoon. War brides not in evidence. Oh but they are a hard-looking bunch.

And the Y man takes candy & tobacco up on the promenade deck & he and the officer amuse themselves by throwing it to the fellows and laughing at them scrambling for it. It is really disgusting just like a bunch of little kids. But there is always that would do anything if they think they are getting something for nothing.

Sighted land at 12:30 debarked at New Port News at 4 P.M. 'Y' with cigarettes & candy. Marched under the 'Victory Arch' & thru town. When we halted people gave us water bought ice cream and cola at drugstore. It seems so strange to hear civilians speak English and especially children. But oh boy! It sure seems good.

19086655Hartlepool; F W Mason Printer 1908. 1908. Poster approximately 76 cm x 51 cm. Single sheet with titles printed in bold and underlined. Creased from folding with a few nicks to edge and some inky finger-marks otherwise in Very Good condition. The main text takes the form of a conversation between two working class drinkers Joe and Bill giving their clear reasons why pubs should be open for reasonably long hours during the week and on Sundays and exhorting the reader to sign the petition for MPs asking them to vote against the Bill. The proposal to limit Sunday opening times was one of a long series throughout the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries with this poster almost certainly referring to the Licencing Bill of 1908 which aimed to significantly curtail Sunday opening hours would have given local justices the power to enforce total Sunday closing. The Bill was aimed at curtailing drunkenness amongst the working classes although when Bill complains "then we are not to have the right to drink at the pub before 8 o'clock in the morning if we want one ever so badly" he rather sounds like a case in point. The Bill was strongly opposed by the general public and was ultimately voted down. Large ephemeral and unsurprisingly unrecorded. Hartlepool; F W Mason, Printer, 1908. unknown
