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

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.

43576Sir Charles Moore 1844-1916 Army Officer Engineer and Administrator saying that he has "probably heard that I am to replace you at Souakin. I am very sorry you should leave & would never have accepted the billet had my not doing so been of the least service to you. The way it came about was on my arrival at Suez old West came on board with a telegram stating H.M. Govt wanted to know if I would accept Souakin & if so to wire to Wolff. I asked about you but could find out nothing and I felt sure you had resigned so I wired yes and wet to Alexandria & saw Wolff he then told me and I said that changed the matter but he said if I now refused there was another waiting for the post. I went up to Cairo and saw Gen Stephenson and he told me the same & that I could do you no good and would do myself much harm by refusing. He also said what I hope was the case that he was sure you would see it in the same light. I came home & saw DAG on the subject & Sir R. Thomson and found out an R.A. officer had accepted if I refused the billet and would be appted at once. I hope you think I have done right and I know you will never doubt how much rather I would like it if you could remain supposing you wish to do so." 4 sides 8vo. Junior United Service Club London 18th August In 1874 aged 24 Kitchener was assigned by the Palestine Exploration Fund to a mapping-survey of the Holy Land. By then an officer in the Royal Engineers Kitchener joined fellow officer Claude R. Conder; between 1874 and 1877 they surveyed Palestine returning to England only briefly in 1875 after an attack by locals at Safed in Galilee. Conder and Kitchener's expedition became known as the Survey of Western Palestine because it was largely confined to the area west of the Jordan River. In 1878 having completed the survey of western Palestine Kitchener was sent to Cyprus to undertake a survey of that newly acquired British protectorate. He became vice-consul in Anatolia in 1879. Sutherland was also in the Royal Engineers and worked under Kitchener in Cyprus for 6 years ending in 1886. Kitchener became Governor of the Egyptian Provinces of Eastern Sudan and Red Sea Littoral which in practice consisted of little more than the Port of Suakin in September 1886 He was created Earl Kitchener of Khartoum and of Broome in the County of Kent on June 29th 1914. Unusually provision was made for the title to be passed on to his brother and nephew since Kitchener was not married and had no children. unknown

It is loosely analogous to the European concept of chivalry. There are multiple Bushido types which evolved significantly through history.

Marshal-Admiral the Marquis T g Heihachir 1848-1934 served as admiral of the fleet in the Imperial Japanese Navy and became one of Japan's greatest naval heroes. In 1911 T g returned to England for the first time in over 30 years to attend the coronation of King George V the Coronation Fleet Review at Portsmouth to attend naval alumni dinners and visit dockyards on the Clyde and in Newcastle.
