1864List2721Petersburg Virginia 1864. Single letter four 5 x 8 inch pages folded. Toning and some tears at folds overall excellent condition. M. Herbert Wood c. 1839–deceased was an officer of the 23rd Regiment United States Colored Infantry during the American Civil War. This regiment which consisted of African-American enlisted men with white officers was part of the 4th Division of the IX Corps organized at Camp Casey Virginia. Wood may also have served in the 25th Ohio regiment. A newspaper account from the time alleges that Wood a Mainer had married an Alabama woman who owned a considerable number of enslaved people and then “sold the negroes pocketed the proceeds turned abolitionist abandoned his wife and child and went back to Maine†before joining the Union army.1 Following the Civil War Wood purportedly asked President Andrew Johnson for a position but was denied after testifying that he would side with Congress over the President presumably concerning Reconstruction.<br /> <br /> This letter to Wood’s sister Mollie is dated July 16 1864 after the Battle of Spotsylvania Court House and shortly before the Battle of the Crater in which the 23rd suffered significant casualties. Wood describes the Regiment’s dire financial situation apparently having gone months without pay:<br /> <br /> “I cannot send any money to you in this letter for the simple reason that I have not any myself. We have not been paid since the last day of Feb and there is not an officer in the Regt that has 5 dollars but we shall be paid I hope soon it cannot be very long and I will then send you as much as you need.â€<br /> <br /> He also informs Mollie of some sad intelligence about her husband:<br /> <br /> “I do not wish or would not say one single word to injure your feelings but I very much fear that what I told you when we last met at New Berne has proved true. And that you are now a deserter’s wife. I have enquired of a great many officers who know him and to some who are Bro. Masons & have stated circumstances omitting name & place and all agree in saying that you will probably never hear from him again. We may all be mistaken however I hope we are.â€<br /> <br /> The Civil War saw quite a high desertion rate on both sides though many men eventually returned to their posts voluntarily or otherwise.<br /> <br /> 1 “A Specimen of the Impeachment of Witnesses†The Louisville Daily Journal April 15 1868. unknown

19184145Amesbury England: printed "In Camp" by the Battalion 1918. Octavo pamphlet in original printed wrappers 28 pp. illustrated. Covers chipped some foxing but good condition overall. Scarce First World War Australian Battalion history.</p> <p>The preface gives some indication of the production of the pamphlet being the work of Private H. MacPherson with sketches by Private W.H. Smith. The author writes: </p> <p>'This work is a continuation of the career of the 44th Battalion of the Australian Imperial Forces from Western Australia. We find that the Battalion is now absorbed by the 11th Brigade; consequently the publication assumes a Brigade aspect. We have endeavoured to portray the different affairs at the training camps with a splash of history interwoven.'</p> <p>Typical of such Battalion mementos produced in training camps in the English countryside this publication reflects the lives of soldiers at rest from the harrowing conditions across the channel in European battlefields. The author describes the terrain as similar to the Western plains of New South Wales and includes some information on Stonehenge and local hamlets. Light hearted digs at the officers and mixed with poems including one such verse named 'The Kaiser's Dream'. The pamphlet concludes with an illustrated page titled 'A London Girl's Opinion of the Australian Soldier' penned by one Nellie Ellis who is gushing in her enthusiasm for the ANZAC boys about town.</p> <p></p> <p>The pamphlet is rare and only three copies are held in Australian institutional collections at the State Libraries of New South Wales and Western Australia and also at the War Memorial in Canberra. It is not recorded in the Bibliography of Australin Army Unit Histories by Trigellis-Smith and others although Battalion histories for the 41st 42nd and 43rd are included. Likewise the pamphlet is not included in 1963 checklist Australian Military Bibliography by C.E. Dornbusch. However both Trigellis-Smith and Dornbusch note that an informal account of life in the 44th Battalion was published by one Captain Longmore Perth 1921.</p> <p>The pamphlet bears the colophon of Bennet Brothers printers in Salisbury. printed "In Camp" by the Battalion unknown
