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 .

1919000114Post War Germany 1919. Very interesting and intriguing diary once one gets used to the author's scrawl. 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. May 19 writing of Coblenz and Berlin he closes: "I would just like to love you Dear. This is some life to be in and I don't know when I am coming home.I think next month." Another note on the inside front cover dated May 15th: "One year and 5 months since we have been married and have been in the army over 9 months now." Book shows general light wear and is about 3 1/4 x 5 1/4 inches. There is a sleeve for a pencil which it seems is long gone. . Good. 24mo - over 5" - 5¾" tall. Manuscript. unknown

19692602260006<p>First Infantry Division 1969. Hardback. Very Good/Very Good. VERY GOOD in a very good clear mylar protective jacket. No marks noted. Binding is tight and square. 300 pp ; b&w and color photographs ; 31cm - roster of soldiers who gave their lives. . . . . . . . . An official-style historical account of the U.S. Armys First Infantry Division - Big Red One - during a crucial midwar stretch of the Vietnam conflict. Covering 1967 through the end of 1968 it traces the divisions combat operations northwest of Saigon including actions along Highway 13 toward Cambodia in the Iron Triangle and around bases such as Loc Ninh with attention to searchanddestroy missions fire support bases and the evolving use of airmobile and combinedarms tactics. The narrative places particular emphasis on how the division confronted mainforce Viet Cong and North Vietnamese units while also engaging in pacification and civicaction efforts in nearby villages. Within that framework the book highlights the divisions role in the 1968 Tet Offensive and its aftermath showing how Big Red One units shifted rapidly between largescale engagements near Saigon and extended security and pacification operations in III Corps. It also notes command changes and losses at the highest levels - most notably the death of division commander MG Keith L. Ware when his helicopter was shot down near Loc Ninh in September 1968 - using such episodes to illustrate the intensity and cost of the campaign. Overall Volume II functions as a detailed campaign chronicle and unit history aimed at documenting how the First Infantry Division adapted to a brutal shifting war during one of its most demanding periods.</p> First Infantry Division hardcover
