1918021403No Place: No publisher 1918. Cloth. Good. World War I Hospital/Medical Worker Diary. 1918 France. In a Daily Reminder Calendar for 1918. Red cloth. 365 pp. one for each day of the year. No name/author given. Some entries rather faded and most written in pencil. Handwriting is sometimes illegible. We speculate the author may have been an officer in the AEF as many of their entries refer to daily inspections and they reference an officer training drill in one entry. Many entries also refer to lieutenants majors and other officers although very rarely giving names instead using a single initial. It appears they were part of the AEF's hospital unit with mention of being at a frontline ambulance medical facility run by French forces and called Ambulance de Bois Roger see Feb. 12. First entry for January 1st indicates the author was in Langres France with the AEF American Expeditionary Force and mentions that school is out and he took a walk. They describe waiting for orders eventually being moved to Liffol-le-grand and Camp Hospital 18 for the month of January. By Early February entries are from Field Hospital 101. A hand drawn map/plan of Ambulance de Bois Roger appears on February 12. They describe setting up a triage with plan. On February 17 "considerable artillery to the east" is mentioned and the author as well as their going to an abandoned trench on the ridge. German biplanes are referred to using the French term avion boche. Boche was a derogatory term for Germans and the word appears off and on in entries going forward including March 8th where it states "Some boche in the air." They also mention that two were killed. By April the author is back at Camp Hospital 18 another map/plan of the facility appears and Field Hospital 101. Entries pretty much cease by April 23 with a few scattered entries short a few long" through the rest of the book. In general the diarist discusses basic day to day operations at the various medical facilities as well as planning interactions with others basic orders etc. GOOD condition. Residue/staining on the front cover. General fading. Minor soiling and edgewear. Some bumping. No publisher unknown

021800No Place: No publisher. Unbound. Good. World War I Collection of Correspondence. Approximately 15 letters. Some with original envelopes. All circa August 1918 to November 1919. All single sheets 2 to 4 pages long handwritten. With two small cabinet card photos of a young woman. These letters were written by Admiral E.K. Moore from the Hotel Connor in Nice France as well as the American Hospital in France. They were written to the wife of Major John Knowlton no first name for the wife given in the letters unfortunately and regarded the health of Major Knowlton. Major Knowlton served as a doctor in France in World War I and it appears he became ill in the Summer of 1918 eventually being diagnosed with spinal meningitis. This caused him to lose his memory and resulted in a lengthy hospital stay. Because of this his wife was not originally notified. These letters from Admiral Moore describe Knowlton's health and improvement as well as his transfer to another hospital. It appears Knowlton eventually recovered fully and returned home to the US with some of the later letters addressing the gratitude apparently expressed by the Knowltons. All in GOOD condition with fold creases some toning and other general wear. Envelopes very worn. No publisher unknown

194098733London Sept. 1 1939-Dec. 31 1939. April 1 1940-July 2 1940. 1940. 1940. Fine. - Folio 17-1/2 inches high by 13-1/2 inches wide. A manuscript scrapbook consisting of 62 leaves 124 pages bound with 2 silver clasps between brown Masonite-like boards. The contents of the scrapbook are for the most part tipped-in articles cartoons and images clipped from newspapers of the period. These are accompanied by the sometime profuse handwritten comments of the scrapbooker. These comments are occasionally personal but mostly historical. The handwritten text begins on September 1st 1939: "At 5:30 this morning Germany started marching into Poland - which means that England & France must & will declare war against Germany." On Sept 2 she comments: "Poor dear Germany. There are so many thousands of people - fine people. To think that they must all go out & fight for some one they hate against some one they like." On September 3 she writes: "Went to church & Mass at 11. Half way thru Mass an officer came in & whispered to some soldiers hearing Mass. They got up & left - On getting home we found that at 11 a.m. England had declared war on Germany." And the next day: "Archie her new husband went off to the office to say goodbye. They were very nice & thank heavens he gets his job back after the war - if any of us are alive.The street corners are painted black white so you can see where you are at night." On September 17th there appears a nasty cartoon featuring Chamberlain roughly translated: This German woman was tortured and murdered by Polish beasts in Bromberg as a result of England's blanket authority. What will Mr. Chamberlain tell you Next to it is pasted an article reporting on Russia's invasion of Poland. A Soviet dispatch reads "The Polish-german war has revealed the rottenness of the Polish State and its Government". A newspaper copy of Hitler's September 19th Danzig speech attempting to justify his invasion of Poland is tipped in. The scrapbooker writes on September 24 of the terrible plight of a friend: ".she is sleeping in an old Warehouse with 35 other girls and the place isn't even water-proof to say nothing of being unheated. Their job is to act either as chauffers to all the officers or else as ambulance drivers." Hitler's October 6 Reichstag speech as published in a newspaper is tipped in. A newspaper article states "RED TERROR COMES TO POLAND. Ninety-Nine per cent of the people of Poland consider the Russian invasion incomparably worse than the German because of its infinitely greater cruelty." On November 5th "Black-out deaths are becoming alarming. Now that it is dark at 6 - just at the rush hour there are a lot of accidents." Articles on Mussolini and on the Graf Spee start appearing. On December 2nd the scrapbooker writes: "USA has threatened to stop selling arms to the Soviet. Oh yeah They'll sell anything in order to make money." And on December 9th: "Because everyone had their pets killed at the beginning of war London is now overrun with rats".<p>The first part of the scrapbook ends on December 13 1939. She picks up again on April 1st 1940. Here is tipped-in the newspaper printing of Churchill's "Finest Hour' speech of June 18 1940. On June 29 1940 The Times of London prints a large image of the Churchill "Deserve Victory" poster. David Lloyd George's article "France: The Terrible Warning" appears in the "Sunday Pictorial". The scrapbook ends on July 2nd 1940. Superb source material. <p>The 23-year-old creator of the scrapbook was at the time of her death the widow of U.S. Ambassador Lincoln MacVeagh. Born on September 12 1916 Virginia "Bimbetta" was the daughter of Marchese and Marchesa Agostino Ferrante di Ruffano. Her mother Virginia Cameron MacVeagh came from a line of important American government officials. Her father served as consul general of Italy in several countries. She accompanied her family to the diplomatic postings of her father including Istanbul Boston Ottawa Philadelphia Sydney and finally Dresden in 1938. Bimbetta married Archibald J. Coats in Frankfurt on April 27 1939 and the couple settled in England. Coats was called up by the military in 1939 and fought in the Sudan. Bimbetta left England in 1940 settling in Cazenovia New York. She and Archibald Coats divorced in 1950. In 1952 she moved with her children to Madrid. It was there that her relationship with Lincoln MacVeagh the Ambassador to Spain took root. After MacVeagh's retirement the couple resided in Estoril Portugal and were married there in 1955. Bimbetta died in Cazenovia on April 13 2014. London, Sept. 1, 1939-Dec. 31, 1939. April 1, 1940-July 2, 1940. [1940]. hardcover
