1898List319Massachusetts 1898. The 2nd Massachusetts Volunteers mustered into service in May 1898 and within a month saw significant action in Cuba at the Battle of El Caney. They were one of three volunteer units from Massachusetts to see action on the Santiago Campaign. The regiment was inexperienced - 55% were untrained recruits. The lack of experience combined with their rifles giving off a very visible black smoke led to a heavy casualties in the Battle of El Caney. After an encampment near Santiago de Cuba in which a large number of the soldiers became ill with disease - estimates are as high as 65% - the regiment returned home in August. Historians have noted that soldier demographics changed considerably from the Civil War to the Spanish American war as the smaller number of troops and the lack of a draft led to a more enthusiastic army with higher morale. <br /> <br /> The photographs in this group are interesting as a typological grouping of images of untrained soldiers and also for their historical value as most contain identifications to versos. The highlight of the group is forty-four uniformly mounted portraits of soldiers nearly all identified measuring 3 ¾ x 2 ½ inches each. Other photographs include a large portrait of Captain Frederick E. Pierce with the blindstamp of Goldsmith Studio Springfield Massachusetts and a 3 ¼ x 3 ¼ inch square card of Capt. Pierce in Camp Turner. Also included are two slightly larger photographs on similar mounts. <br /> <br /> Overall an interesting group. Good condition overall with assorted chips and wear. unknown books

19170001391Camp MEADE USS AGAMEMNON EUROPEAN THEATER. Good. 1917. Hardcover. On offer is an original and simply sensational manuscript relic of World War I being the handwritten diary of Sgt. John Reed of the 316 Infantry Band. Over 120 pages fully written in neat dense hand Reed details his experiences 'To Whom It May Concern'. He begins July 5th retrospectively explaining his being drafted November 3rd 1917 and then spending an easy 8 months at Camp Meade for him it was an easy transition into the Army life as he had already served in the US Regulars. From July 5th on he writes with dedication to a very abrupt end June 8th 1918. Reed is a super diarist has a great personality and is a dedicated American. One cannot help admire this soldier. The very first writings on the free endpaper states: Advance into Germany Millions of trained fighters Eagerness to crush Prussianism Righteousness and readiness to serve Immense Resources Crushing blows delivered to Huns Army unconquerable Navy superb Safety for Democracy for World spelling out the word AMERICANS. Here is a snippet: 'Sept 29th Our infantry was still advancing and fighting like tigers it wasn't interesting for me to stay in the supply loo so I started all alone for the front my revolver and lots of ammunition was my only friend. I walked until I got to a town that we had just captured but 'Bosh' still bombarding it heavily while looking around for wounded friends I found out that by this time Charlie Miller was still ahead of me and well and fighting like an old regular. I also met my old friend Hal Anderson working day and night as a stretcher bearer he was tired out and hungry as I send a man back after food for him and seven others as I am writing this 'Bosh' are still bombarding with monster bullets bursting all around us.' 'Sept 30th I only crawled out of a hole twice all day and that was at mess time. This day the Germans bombarded our field hospital killing many of the hospital wounded lads. Hospital had been put to close too the front.' near Verdun. Of course there is the mundane - but it is never really mundane - dinner in the rough is described as a rabbit with its neck broken the French woman cutting out the eyes the house they waited in during a bombardment the rain the mud and the waiting. Being in the band there are many concerts but they seem secondary to the action and the observations. Oblong flipbook style in this 5.25"x 2.5" also includes an actual photograph not a copy of his 316 Infantry Band Unit. Also included: a First Edition copy of the U.S. official issued song book entitled "Songs of the Soldiers and Sailors.

1934000530Borden Hants Hampshire England. Good. 1934. Original Wraps. On offer is a handwritten notebook-style instruction manual as titled on the cover "Fencing Lessons Foil - Sabre - Epee". The inside front cover has a pastedown fully identifying the writer: "Serjeant T. Wells of the 1st BATTALION OXFORDSHIRE & BUCKINGHAMSHIRE LIGHT INFANTRY. 19th Sept. to 13th Dec. 1934. Instructors Gartzen and Harkinson". An Index of the 67 page book shows that besides the lessons in the three sword types there are chapters on the Army Fencing Union Pitches and Arenas and Bayonet Team Competitions. We are led to believe that this book is also a manual for the Instructor trainee as most pages have three columns headed: Pupil Master Remarks. The remarks appear to be helpful hints for the Instructor in dealing with the pupil. There are a number of hand drawn illustrations including charts tables graphs and such plus there are quite a few little. 1.5" x 1" photographs which were cut from elsewhere and glued in as part of the lesson. In addition to the identification on the cover and inside front cover the back cover has Sjt. Wells handwritten address being we believe Bordon Hants Hampshire. Boards are cracked in the hinges and the netting shows but otherwise in very good shape. Provenance: From the library of a famed Hungarian fencing master instructor Olympian and coach.
