1919CAT0119New York: Underwood and Underwood 1919. First Edition. Gelatin silver prints 7 ¾ x 5 ½ inches each on 11 ½ x 7 inch black paper mounts captioned with affixed text. Very Good. Two WWI-era press photographs related to the Negro 15th Infantry Division of the New York National Guard a.k.a. the 369th US Infantry Regiment and their white commander Colonel William Hayward. One photograph shows the division on parade in New York following their return from combat duty in France in 1919 the other is a well-known image of Hayward who organized the all-black unit and served as its leader. Fighting for a record-breaking 191 consecutive days alongside French troops in the trenches the regiment became known as the “Harlem Hellfighters.†<br /> <br /> The opportunity for African-Americans to serve in WWI arose from the Selective Service Act of 1917 which drafted all men between the ages of twenty-one and thirty. Special segregated training camps were established and units were formed. The US National Archives states that 200000 African-Americans served in Europe during WWI but only 42000 saw combat. When the 15th Infantry arrived in France in 1918 Hayward was committed to the idea that his unit would fight on the front lines. After General Pershing refused to integrate them with the full US army Hayward pushed for another assignment under French command. Unlike many other segregated divisions in WWI the 15th aka 369th was eventually sent to the trenches. Its members' distinguished service brought honor and fame. Before leaving the US in 1917 the regiment had not been allowed to participate in the New York National Guard’s farewell parade. When they returned victorious Hayward ensured they were publicly honored. <br /> <br /> Both with various press stamps to versos. Small closed tear of about a half inch to upper edge of parade picture good overall. Hayward portrait with some rippling at edges very good overall. Underwood and Underwood unknown

19555Malta. 7 January 1896. 3pp. tall 8vo. Bifolium. In good condition lightly aged and worn. Folded four times. With regard to Philpot's desire to obtain 'employment under Her Majesty's Government' as a 'public servant' he has applied to McLeod 'for a testimonial as to his Conduct and Efficiency as an Officer during the seven years he served in the 74th Highlanders': ''There has been but one opinion of him in the Corps which was that he was a most able active intelligent and gallant officer possessed of much common sense and sound judgment. He served throughout the Kaffir War of 1851-52-53 and on the death of Lt Colonel Fordyce in action in the Waterbloop - he was left for some time the only surviving officer in a most dangerous position encumbered with wonded and took an active part in the attack to cover their removal which was completely effected under his orders'. He describes another occasion in which Philpot 'volunteered to carry an order to a detached party' before noting his departure from the regiment 'as a Captain to the great regret of all ranks on account of ill health in India'. Despite his glowing testimonial surprisingly little is to be discovered concerning Philpot. McLeod has an entry in Who Was Who. Malta. 7 January 1896. unknown

As is typical with such 'in theater' publications there are some pages which have some variation in printing but pages are legible. There are a couple of minor ink stains noted. The 88th Infantry Division was an infantry division of the United States Army that saw service in both World War I and World War II. It was one of the first of the Organized Reserve divisions to be called into federal service created nearly "from scratch" after the implementation of the draft in 1940. Previous divisions were composed of either Regular Army or National Guard personnel. Much of the experience in reactivating it was used in the subsequent expansion of the U.S. Army. By the end of World War II the 88th Infantry fought its way to the northernmost extreme of Italy. In early May 1945 troops of its 349th Infantry Regiment joined the 103d Infantry Division of the VI Corps of the U.S. Seventh Army part of the 6th Army Group which had raced south through Bavaria into Innsbruck Austria in Vipiteno in the Italian Alps.
