WORLD WAR I - EDWARDS, George MaitlandBiblio.com

A copy typescript diary recounting his tour of the Russian front line before and during the June Offensive.

1917120706Mogilev: c.1917. The final Russian offensive of the war A firsthand account of this pivotal moment in the war written by Lieutenant-Colonel George Maitland Edwards while he was staff officer and Russian translator to General Charles St Leger Barter. Edwards recounts his displeasure with the Russian army and its poor discipline. The only other copy we have traced is held by the IWM although theirs is only 65 pages long and we have been unable to trace a published edition. Edwards 1882-1946 first went to Russia in the pre-war period where he worked in mining in Siberia and the Urals. In 1914 he joined the Royal Artillery and served in France and Gallipoli in charge of 254 Tunnelling Company. In 1917 he was sent to Russia with General Barter British Military Representative to the Headquarters of the Russian Armies in the Field to inspect the state of the front line. Edwards recounts multiple instances of poor discipline among Russian troops such as on 1 July when Russian soldiers dove into the German trenches "like rabbits" p. 17 instead of continuing on. He recalls his shock at the lack of communication between artillery and infantry as well as his bemusement at an attempt to fight off German planes in Bac u he described as "the very poorest shooting at aeroplanes I have ever witnessed" p. 49. He attributes this to poor leadership and Kerensky's abolition of the death penalty. Nevertheless he compliments the actions of the 8th Army despite being disheartened by the overall failure of the offensive. The work also includes a gelatin silver photograph of a British general relaxing with Russian troops. We have been unable to trace a published edition of this account. Folio 326 x 199 mm ff. 71. Carbon copy typescript on rectos only occasional contemporary typescript corrections sepia gelatin silver photograph 40 x 58 mm mounted on verso of p. 14. Recent red quarter leatherette spine gilt-lettered direct low bands ruled in gilt red cloth boards top edge gilt others untrimmed. Boards a little soiled and marked extremities slightly rubbed contents bright with minor foxing to endpapers first leaf chipped at foot in gutter: a very good example. hardcover

[Civil War] Early, Jubal Anderson and William MahoneBiblio.com

A Correspondence between Generals Early and Mahone in Regard to a Military Memoir of the Latter

188110857Lynchburg VA 1881. Half Leather. Very Good binding. Octavo. 19 1 pp. Backed in morocco with corners. Binding is quite sharp without appreciable wear; the pamphlet self is worn soiled foxed but is much better presented in this Sangorski & Sutcliffe binding. A series of correspondence between the two generals related to John Watts De Peyster's biography 1871 of Mahone and Mahone's military record. A glimpse into the prevailing friction of the post-war South. From the library of notable Civil War and Americana collector Charles Sanders Jr with his bookplate on the rear pastedown. A difficult pamphlet to find. Dornbusch notes it was published in 1871 while Nicholson identifies the date as 1881. While Dornbusch was very thorough it is likely his suggested date is based on the date of Peyster's biography. We feel more confident in Nicholson's assessment coupled with Sanders' own note on the rear pastedown corroborating Nicholson. Nicholson p. 262; Dornbusch II 2705. unknown

PENINSULAR WAR - BINGHAM, Sir George RidoutBiblio.com

A detailed and important epistolary account of the Peninsular War between April 1809 and March 1810.

18201541751820-21. Vibrant immediate and honest An outstanding series of 37 vivid candid letters by Major-General Sir George Ridout Bingham 1777-1833 transcribed by him from his original correspondence home and spanning April 1809 to January 1814 including the campaign of Talavera. They constitute a major primary source for campaigning in the Peninsula. In a reflective foreword written at Dean's Leaze in 1820-21 Bingham explains that he found his mother's preserved cache of letters on his return to England and copied them out verbatim omitting only personal matters. He stresses that he made no revisions leaving his early impressions misjudged predictions and evolving opinions intact and notes the gradual growth of his confidence in Wellington. An index closes the volume. A letter of 29 July 1809 from the field near Talavera captures the collection's immediacy: Bingham reports the ferocity of the action the heavy British casualties borne without Spanish support the army's acute want of provisions the deaths and wounds among senior officers his own collapse from exhaustion and the Spaniards' killing of wounded Frenchmen. Such unvarnished observations typify the set. The foreword and letters are printed in Gareth Glover's Wellington's Lieutenant Napoleon's Gaoler 2005. Glover notes that all surviving transcripts - including those at the National Army Museum typescript copies presented to the United Services Institute in 1923 - derive from lost originals. He characterizes the letters as frank immediate and rich in operational detail free from retrospective shaping and attentive to landscape people officers daily routines and the brutal conduct of war. Bingham from a long-established Dorset family rose rapidly: ensign in the 69th 1793 major in the 82nd 1801 and in 1805 lieutenant-colonel of the newly raised 2/53rd. He led the battalion throughout its distinguished Peninsula service Porto to Burgos later commanding a provisional battalion through Vitoria the Pyrenees and the Nivelle. Decorated with the Portuguese Order of the Tower and Sword and made KCB he escorted Napoleon to St Helena and commanded there until 1819 later serving on the Irish staff during a turbulent period. He was widely regarded as a considerate and able officer. Provenance: pencilled ownership of Col. John Delalynde Mansel 1850-1915 Rifle Brigade whose grandfather Lieut.-Col. John Mansel served as Bingham's second-in-command in the Peninsula. Subsequent family marriages united the Mansel Bingham and Pleydell lines. Small quarto 230 x 185 mm. Contemporary red half roan smooth spine divided by seven pairs of gilt fillets gilt lettered "MSS. Letters from the Peninsula" sides and corners trimmed with paired gilt fillets red paper sides. 163 pages running to about 32000 words written in a neat hand. Binding professionally refurbished slight cockling to first few leaves otherwise clean and presenting smartly.
