1916003868original letters. KITCHENER Lord Herbert 1st Earl Kitchener GREY Eric Verner Lieutenant Royal Navy. A small group of related correspondence photographs and official telegram relating to Lieutenant Grey's service and death in the loss of H.M.S. Hampshire. H.M.S Newcastle and H.M.S Hampshire 5th August 1914 - 3 June 1916. A group of 5 autograph letters signed various dates from 1 August 1914 to 3 June 1916 written in ink on naval stationery most with crowned "HMS Hampshire" device together with an official Post Office telegram announcing the loss of the vessel and two portrait photographs of Grey in uniform by J Russell and Sons; the whole housed loose the telegram glazed and framed; usual folds light handling wear overall well preserved a very good grouping. The loss of H.M.S. Hampshire on 5 June 1916 was one of the most widely reported maritime disasters of the First World War in which Herbert Kitchener was among those killed. The group centres on Lieutenant E. V. Grey Royal Navy and comprises letters written to his sister "Cis" during his service including material from the outbreak of war through to the immediate aftermath of the Battle of Jutland. The final letter dated 3 June 1916 is of particular significance. Written immediately following the Battle of Jutland 31 May-1 June 1916 it records a brief but direct contemporary reaction: "we came out of it jolly well. the ancient cruisers were rather strafed as you will see in the papers" before closing with the remark that he is "absolutely dog tired". This letter was written just two days after the battle and two days before his death. The official Admiralty telegram sent to his sister reported that H.M.S. Hampshire had been sunk with all on board. The vessel was lost off Orkney on 5 June 1916 shortly after departing on a mission carrying Lord Kitchener to Russia. There is a note written recently from a family member of Lieutenant Grey and his sister. It reads "letters from Great Granny's brother to her from HMS Hampshire he served with Lord Kitchener on it and enclosed is the telegram to say all had been sunk including Lord Kitchener and Granny's brother." A rare grouping relating Lieutenant Grey who was at the Battle of Jutland and sadly the subsequent sinking of H.M.S. Hampshire with the uncommon official telegram confirming his loss. . Very Good. Soft cover. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 1916. original letters paperback

Oblong 8vo. Highly competent album of drawings of fortifications mines and elevations by the young Kitchener while a student at the Royal Military Academy Woolwich. Kitchener 1850-1916 born in Ireland to English parents and raised in Switzerland spent "an undistinguished two years" at the Royal Military Academy. When he progressed to the School of Military Engineering Chatham he began to distinguish himself. He worked with the Palestine Exploration Fund and on the survey of Cyprus and gained a reputation as a man who knew the Near East. "In 1884 he acted as an intelligence officer for the relief expedition sent to the Sudan to rescue Charles George Gordon; he continually pressed Wolseley the commander of the expedition to push forward more rapidly. Despite the expedition's failure to save Gordon Kitchener emerged with credit and some fame." He was named sirdar or commander of the Egyptian army in 1892 and instituted needed reforms. Under his leadership Anglo-Egyptian forces defeated the Mahdist armies in the Sudan in 1898 avenging Gordon's death and reconquering the country. Kitchener's administrative talents came to the fore in the South African War where superior transportation and the policy of destroying farms and interning Boer civilians in concentration camps prevailed against the guerrilla tactics of the Boer forces. In his role as secretary of state for war in 1914 his advocacy of preparations for a long and global conflict defined British policy. A choice item from early in the career of this larger than life and still controversial figure. unknown

Map of Western Palestine from surveys conducted for the Committee of the Palestine Exploration Fund by Lieuts. C.R. Conder and H.H. Kitchener R.E. . . . Special Edition Illustrating the Divisions of the Natural Drainage and the Mountain Ranges According to . . . Trelawney Sanders . . . 1882.

188121181921881. London: Edward Stanford. 1881. Large colour-lithographic folding map 158 by 94cm dissected into 30 segments linen-backed and folding back into the original cloth-covered slip-case with printed label on the front; apart from light rubbing to front cover in excellent condition.A wonderful copy of this Special Edition of the 'reduced' version of Conder & Kitchener's huge Map of Western Palestine which consists of 26 sheets and is ordinarily found bound in atlas format. The present example of the map is heavily revised to illustrate the drainage of the Mountain Ranges in the eastern part of the map by Trelawney Sanders. Sanders produced several adaptations of this map one of which included ancient geographical information. This version of the map is particularly poignant because of the linkage between water resources food production and settlement location at the time of publication.Field Marshal Horatio Herbert Kitchener 1st Earl Kitchener was an Irish-born British Field Marshal and proconsul who won fame for his imperial campaigns and later played a central role in the early part of the First World War although he died halfway through it. In 1874 at age 24 Kitchener was assigned by the Palestine Exploration Fund to a mapping-survey of the Holy Land replacing Charles Tyrwhitt-Drake who had died of malaria. Kitchener then an officer in the Royal Engineers joined fellow Royal Engineer Claude R. Conder and between 1874 and 1877 they surveyed what is today Israel the West Bank and Gaza. They returned to England only briefly in 1875 after an attack by locals in the Galilee at Safed. hardcover
