['A Tommy'; Mesopotamia Campaign, British Army, First World War; Iraq; Indian Army; Ottoman Turks]:Biblio.com

The Campaign in Mesopotamia British Army First World War. Duplicated Typescript apparently contemporary of satirical poem by British soldier by ‘A Tommy’ titled ‘Alphabet of Mesopotamia’.

24124Without date or place but apparently written in Mesopotamia in late 1916. This poem is said to be an earlier work by â€˜A Tommyâ€™ the pseudonymous author of the collection â€˜If I Goes Westâ€™ published in London by Harrap in 1918. WorldCat has no entries to support a second claim: that the present poem was published in 1917 with the subtitle â€˜Verses written by a â€œTommyâ€ who has fought suffered and triumphed in Mesopotamia and is still on active service thereâ€™. While there is no indication that the poem has ever been published in its entirety extracts from it appeared in â€˜The Bystanderâ€™ 27 November 1916; and â€˜The Near Eastâ€™ 6 July 1917; the latter headed â€˜An Alphabet from Mesopotamiaâ€™ being preceded by the following: â€˜A member of our Fighting Forces in Mesopotamia has composed some verses which he entitles â€œ The Alphabet of Mesopotamia.â€ Through the kindness of a correspondent we are allowed to reproduce here some specimensâ€™. There may also be a reference in Catherine W. Reillyâ€™s 1978 bibliography â€˜English Poetry of the First World Warâ€™. Duplicated typescript titled â€˜ALPHABET OF MESOPOTAMIA.â€™ 2pp foolscap 8vo. Text complete on two leaves of air mail paper glued together. Apparently contemporary and with the look of an item that has been handed around the mess room. Twenty-six four-line stanzas: one for each letter of the alphabet apart from a joint stanza for S and T and ending with an â€˜ENVOIâ€™. The first stanza reads: â€˜ â€œAâ€ Was an apple that grew so they say In the Garden of Eden down Qurnah way Till Eve came along and ate it one day And got thrown out of Mesopotamia.â€™ The poem includes the following stanzas: â€˜ â€œFâ€ Stands for Fritz who flies in the sky To bring down the brute weâ€™ve many a try But the shells that we shoot seem to all pass him by And fall --- on Mesopotamia.â€™ â€˜ â€œJâ€ Is the jam with the label that lies And states that in Paris it won the first prize But out here we use it for catching the flies That swarm in Mesopotamia.â€™ â€˜ â€œUâ€ Is the Lake we call Umm-el-Brahm And guards our flanks from all possible karm sic And waters Gorringeâ€™s Barley Farm In the middle of Mesopotamia.â€™ â€˜ â€œVâ€ Is the Victory we won at Dujailah I heard of it first from a friend whoâ€™s a sailor Who read it in Reuterâ€™s on board a mahela On the Tigris in Mesopotamia.â€™ â€˜ â€œWâ€ Stands for the wonder and pain With which we regard the infirm and insane Old Indian Generals who guide the campaign Which weâ€™re waging in Mesopotamia.â€™ â€˜ â€œYâ€ Is the yearning we feel every day For a passage to Basra and thence to Bombay If we get there weâ€™ll see that we stay right away From this wilderness - Mesopotamia.â€™ Without date or place, but apparently written in Mesopotamia in late 1916. unknown

Wilson Carlile ['The Chief'] (1847-1942), Anglican evangelist, founder in 1882 of the Church Army and Prebendary of St Paul's CaBiblio.com

‘The Vagrant Criminal and Inebriate Classes’: Wilson Carlile ‘The Chief’ Prebendary of St Paul’s Cathedral and Founder of the Church Army. Autograph Letter Signed asking W. S. De Winton for assistance in helping persons to a ‘fresh start’.

243375 May 1896; on leterhead of 130 Edgeware Road London W. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. The Church Army still active today was founded in 1882 as a Church of England equivalent to the Methodists’ Salvation Army. From the papers of the recipient Wilfred Seymour De Winton of Haverfordwest. 3pp 12mo. On a bifolium of grey paper. In good condition lightly aged. Signed ‘W Carlile / Hon. Chief Sec.’ To the left of the signature in the bottom-left of the recto of the second leaf is a purple ink stamp of the following: ‘WRITTEN BY ONE OF OUR POOR STRUGGLING LABOUR HOME BROTHERS’. He begins what is undoubtedly one of many such letters he had to write: ‘Dear Mr De Winton / The Vagrant Criminal and Inebriate Classes a seething mass of our fellow men look to us as the hand of the Church held out to give them a last chance.’ While many could ‘get a fresh start in life after 2 or 3 months staying in one of our Labour Homes the lack of funds compels us day by day to refuse numbers of genuine helpable persons’. He stresses that the homes ‘are not Shelters and are limited to 25 Inmates men women and youths all received irrespective of creed’. He states that 51 1/2 per cent of those who passed through the institutions in the year 1895 ‘obtained a fresh start’ and that the organisation requires ‘£100000 annually’. ‘The financial burdens come heavily on us who nearly all work without any pay.’ He asks if De Winton can help them ‘regain by labour & religion many rapidly sinking into the vortex of crime and misery.’ 5 May 1896; on leterhead of 130 Edgeware Road, London W. unknown
