19190011016Coblenz Germany Benton Pa: Occupied Germany Coblenz Benton PA 56th Infantry. Good. 1919. Softcover. On offer is a superb pocket notebook kept by an American soldier in occupied Germany in the months immediately following World War One WW1. The author of this notebook is Ezra Skow. Little is known of Skow's early life. He was born in 1892 and enlisted in the U. S. Army in about September 1918 at the age of 25 or 26. Burial records in Benton PA indicate that he was attached to the 156th Infantry Regiment. However there was no 156th Infantry in the United States Order of Battle in WWI. In his notebook Skow records that he served in the 56th Infantry. This accords with the record of service of the 56th Infantry Regiment. The 56th Infantry Regiment was a regular infantry regiment in the United States Army. Its roots date back to the American Civil War where it served in the North's Army of the Potomac. It originated from personnel of the 17th Infantry Regiment in 1917 and fought in the region of Metz during World War I. In April 1919 a battalion of the 56th entered Metz as an honour guard for the Commanding General of the American Expeditionary Force John J. Pershing. Skow was married before joining the army. His wife Laura lived until 1987 passing away at the age of 93. Skow himself died in 1947 at the age of 57. His entries take the form of letters to his wife. They cover the period Jan 11 1919 through June 25 1919. In his diary Skow records several of the towns and cities in which his unit was stationed including Metz France Mulheim Metternich and other places in and around the city of Coblenz Germany. His entries speak about the day-to-day existence of a private soldier: "This is some place. Gee I wish I was home now. I would tell you a lot. The women are carrying their things on their back when they go to the store" Jan 13; ". I wrote you a letter tonight and send you the worlds clock too as I saw that today over at the city. And I was to see Charley Chaplin in the front line trenches and it was good. I would like to see you now. . I sit here at a Dutch table now writing notes and the Dutch man is reading the paper and his wife is talking out of the front window and you can see they are like but not quite as bad. Your Husband Ezra Skow xxxx" May 2; ". I was over to Coblenz today and wrote you a letter. And it is a fine day. I didn't do very much today. But believe me I would love to be home to loved you again. As I am getting tired of this life and will be able to tell you all about it when I get home . Your most lonely husband this side of the water. Ezra Skow" May 12. On June 4th he writes that he has learned his unit is going to be leaving the Coblenz area and hopefully heading home to the United States. In fact this is exactly what happened. By June 23rd he is in Fort Dix NJ and on the 25th he is out of the army. : ". I am out of the army now. Coming home to you dear." June 25. There are several other pages of note which include among other things the names and addresses of several other men - likely men he met and befriended. For a historian this is an outstanding piece of primary source material. It details the very ordinary day-to-day life of a soldier in WWI capturing his duties and his longing for home. For a regimental historian this fills in details of the history of their regiments. For a genealogist it offers some links to other Americans who served in that regiment. Measuring 5.25 inches by 3.5 inches this notebook contains 72 pages and is 85% complete. The book is in good condition. The binding and pages are intact. His handwriting is cramped but generally legible. ; Manuscripts; 24mo 5" - 6" tall; 72 pages; Keywords: handwritten manuscript document letter autograph writer hand written documents signed letters manuscripts historical holograph writers autographs personal memoir memorial antiquité contrat vélin document manuscrit papier antike brief pergament dokument manuskript papier oggetto d'antiquariato atto velina documento manoscritto carta antigüedad hecho vitela documento manuscrito papel 56th Infantry World War One US Army American soldier Occupied Germany .

Containing approximately 29 pages written on both sides Ezra Skow writes one sometimes two days per page in this notebook style journal. Many entries are letter-style to his wife and signed at the bottom with his name and location. Many times he closes with XXX.

1978MILI1658Graz, Stocker 1978. 4°. 359 S. u. 30 Taf., 138 Abb., Faks. u. Kartenskizzen, OLn. mit OUmschl. Tadelloses Exemplar. Der Grazer Stocker Verlag gilt als Schandfleck des österreichischen Verlagswesens: Der Das ?Familienunternehmen Stocker? ? 1917 vom Nationalsozialisten Leopold Stocker gegründet ? spielt bis heute eine wichtige Rolle für die rechtsextreme Szene in Österreich und Deutschland. Seit 2005 hat der Leopold Stocker Verlag bereits drei Prozesse mit insgesamt vier Klagen gegen die Gruppe Mayday Graz wegen kritischer Veröffentlichungen geführt. Alle Klagen wurden nacheinander abgewiesen: Die Gerichte urteilten z.B., dass es ein zulässiges Werturteil sei, das 'Familienunternehmen Stocker' als 'im Dienst des Rechtsextremismus' zu bezeichnen. Weiters steht nach gültigem Gerichtsurteil fest, daß bei den Bezeichnungen rassistisch, antisemitisch und rechtsextrem in Zusammenhang mit bestimmten Verlagspublikationen es sich um zulässige Werturteile handle, die sich auf ein bestimmtes Tatsachensubstrat stützen können

1847189591Deal: Printed by J. Deveson 1847. The battlefields of the Punjab seen from the ranks First and only contemporary edition of this brief but spirited and entirely unembroidered account in the authentic voice of an enlisted man. The 31st were one of the most heavily engaged units of the conflict seeing action at Mudki Ferozeshah Aliwal and Sobraon. Scarce with just two locations traced BL and Boston Public Library unrecorded at auction. Vivid vignettes from the battle front are set within the context of a diary account of an uneventful voyage back from Calcutta to Gravesend. Cleveland opens on 23 October 1846 "weather continues fine and the wind steady" reminiscing of Moodkee "the first battle in which I had even been engaged I have often since endeavoured to imagine what my feelings were on that occasion but the hurry and confusion of that Action prevented the exercise of thought". One thing remains clear in his memory "So confident were our Officers and men that the Sikh Army was composed of nothing but a rebel mob that they did not believe they would hazard an engagement. this entire ignorance of the Sikh Army it is wonderful that all were alike involved even the Governor and Commander in Chief each of whom it should fairly be supposed ought to have been possessed of correct information on so important a subject". Of Ferozeshah he recalls the "lurid flames" of the burning Sikh camp "gleaming through the darkness diffusing sufficient light to make the horrors of our situation more apparent" the shot from the Sikh guns falling "among us by far to thick and fast to be agreeable". The situation only saved by what Cleveland - along with Sikh commander Tej Singh - read as the Commander in Chief's order for the cavalry to make a "false charge" which was in fact the withdrawal of the Horse Artillery desperately short of ammunition to Ferozepur to resupply while under cavalry escort. At Aliwal the 31st were on the extreme right of the British line "When we had arrived within a short distance of the village under heavy fire from the enemy who were waving their swords and cutting a great variety of menacing capers in front of us General Smith galloped up and said 'take that village boys and carry it along with you' when the whole regiment broke into a rapid double which they did not abate until they had cleared the village captured the guns upon its left and caused the whole of the enemy's left flank to run for dear life. We now quietly took possession of the whole of their camp equipage ammunition and stores; and having amply supplied ourselves. we turned in for the night near the banks of the Sutlej". And so to Sobraon "At 9 A. M. the battle had reached its warmest point - shot and shell were then whizzing through the air in rapid succession. on their fearful missions of mischief. from the muzzles of 150 pieces of ordnance - about half past 9 a low rumbling sound was heard resembling distant thunder which was caused by the report of musquetry - as the infantry ad passed the Enemy's breastworks. thus concluded the most severe contest in the annals of Indian warfare and not a second to any fought in Europe with the exception of Waterloo". Following the ratification of the Treaty of Lahore the 31st marched to Calcutta and embarked for home Cleveland composing this very personal and telling NCO's witness to world-changing events while under weigh.

Wraps rubbed and soiled with some minor chips and splits at the edges no loss of text creases to the corners; pale toning and some finger-soiling to the text; but a well preserved copy very good. paperback
