Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original manuscript autograph document signed by Mehmed Said Pasha sent to Trabzon Vilayat, Ordu Kaza, Hasbamane Nahiya local manager, faziletlu 'Mehmed Ali Sevki Beyefendi'. 33,5x20 cm. Folded. 1 p. In Ottoman script. Mehmed Said Pasha was an Ottoman monarchist, senator, statesman and editor of the Turkish newspaper Jerid-i-Havadis. He supported the CUP, the political party which came to power after the Ottoman coup d'état of 1913. His origin comes from 'Sebazâde family' from Ankara. He became first secretary to Sultan Abdul Hamid II shortly after the Sultan's accession, and is said to have contributed to the realizations of his majesty's design of concentrating power in his own hands; later he became successively minister of the interior and then governor of Bursa, reaching the high post of grand vizier in 1879. He was grand vizier seven more times under Abdul Hamid II, and once under his successor, Mehmed V. He was known for his opposition to the extension of foreign influence in Turkey. n 1896, he took refuge at the British embassy in Constantinople, and, though then assured of his personal liberty and safety, remained practically a prisoner in his own house. He came into temporary prominence again during the revolution of 1908. On 22 July he succeeded Mehmed Ferid Pasha as grand vizier, but on the 6 August was replaced by the more liberal Kâmil Pasha, at the insistence of the Young Turks. Also during 1908, Mehmed Said Pasha bought the famed Istanbul arcade in the Beyoglu (Pera) district, today known as Çiçek Pasaji ("Flower Passage"). The modern name became common in the 1940s; during Mehmed Said Pasha's ownership in the 1900s and 1910s, the arcade was known as Sait Pasa Pasaji ("Said Pasha Passage"). During the Italian crisis in 1911-12, he was again called to the premiership. He was again removed from power by the Savior Officers (who backed the Freedom and Accord Party (Liberal Union) against the Committee of Union and Progress) and replaced by a new cabinet supported by the Officers and the Freedom and Accord Party. The CUP would return to power, however, the next year after the Ottoman coup d'état of 1913. (Source: Wikipedia). Seven lines on special paper with watermark 'Joynson Superfine'. Letter of request to provide teaching for some students in the region.
1916229001916. World War I mobilization photo album group of 65 photographs dating circa 1916-1918 documenting the training and daily life of U.S. soldiers during the pre-deployment period. The material captures the organization and routines of stateside military encampments as the United States prepared for overseas engagement providing visual evidence of training exercises camp infrastructure and soldier life. These images record both formal military activity and informal moments illustrating how enlisted men adapted to regimented environments while maintaining social bonds during the transition from civilian life to military service.<br /> <br /> Sixty-five black-and-white silver gelatin photographs each approximately 3 x 4 inches mounted in a ring-bound black leather album measuring about 3.5 x 6 inches. The images depict rows of conical canvas tents arranged in orderly lines soldiers standing in formation and groups engaged in drilling and instruction. Additional scenes show men performing camp labor including driving tent stakes transporting supplies cooking and resting on cots within tent interiors. Several photographs capture a regimental band assembled with visible instruments while others present candid moments of leisure and interaction. A pair of images shows two soldiers in improvised costume dress suggesting informal humor within camp life. The latter portion of the album shifts to civilian contexts with men in suits posed outdoors social gatherings in grassy settings and group portraits including women in light-colored dresses indicating family or community connections during leave periods.<br /> <br /> Produced during the United States' mobilization for World War I these photographs document the transformation of civilian individuals into military personnel within temporary training environments. The archive shows both the structured discipline of camp organization and the persistence of personal identity and social relationships. The inclusion of both military and civilian scenes provides a continuous narrative of service and home life supporting research into military training social history and vernacular photography of the World War I era. Scattered toning minor rubbing to album leaves and occasional corner lifting; binding secure with moderate cover wear; overall very good condition. A cohesive visual record of U.S. soldier experience during wartime mobilization. unknown
194186279Aberdeen Proving Ground MD: The Ordnance School 1941. Presumed First Edition First printing thus. Four-hole punched and held together with two two pronged clips. Good. Format is approximately 8 inches by 13 inches four-hole punched with two two pronged clips holding the text together. 3iii-vii 250 pages. Three pages of errata sheets. 18 appendices. 50 Figures. Printed single-sided only. Cover worn torn and soiled with some page wear and soiling noted. Pencil marks and notations on cover and some pages. The major portion of this text appears to be an early version of Field Manual No. 9-10 The Ordnance Company -Medium Maintenance; The Ordnance Battalion--Maintenance. It was apparently expected to be issued in July 1941 the the date of issue is blank. FM 9-10 Ordnance Field Manual Ordnance Field Maintenance was published on April 20 1942. There are substantial differences between this text and what was officially published as FM 9-10. This publication was intended solely for use as an Ordnance School text for instruction purposes only. It was not intended for general distribution to agencies or personnel outside the Ordnance training Center at Aberdeen Proving ground Md. It is reasonable to conclude that this instructional text was also a draft text for what would eventually become FM 9-10 and that the experience gained in its use at The Ordnance School contributed to the development of material changes. As such then this early version not labeled as a draft provides a significant and perhaps unique insight into the development of Ordnance doctrine training and practice at the Company and Battalion level at the time when the United States entered the Second World War. One page on Machine Gun Repairs to the M9197A1 laid in. The purpose of this manual was to present a coordinated and complete picture of the problem of ordnance field maintenance together with a logical solution of that problem. While this manual will be found to be helpful as a reference for operation of the maintenance organizations in garrison it was intended primarily as a guide for use in field operations. There are included in the various parts of this manual a discussion of a typical ordnance field shop and a method of conducting operations; a discussion of details pertaining to a typical maintenance company; and discussions of particular problems in ordnance field maintenance as they are encountered and solved. Except where obviously necessary in the interests of uniformity throughout all ordnance service it is not intended that this manual shall impose unnecessary restrictions on the imagination and initiative of ordnance personnel responsible for the operation of the units covered by this manual. On the contrary it is intended that the thoughts and imagination of such personnel will be stimulated to evolve more satisfactory solutions to the problems of ordnance field service. The organization of ordnance maintenance in the field army is based on the principle of progressive increases in available maintenance facilities from front to rear. The equipment and personnel assigned to each echelon are designed to carry the normal load of that echelon plus a certain peak load of the subordinate echelons. In Part I. The Ordnance Company - Medium Maintenance there are Chapters on General; Organization and Equipment; Operations; Duties of Individuals; and Administrative Details. Part II. The Ordnance Battalion Maintenance has Chapters on General and Operations. A list of appendices follow and are in turn followed by the list of Figures. There are specific discussions of ordnance weapons and vehicles and materiel. There is significant discussion of the inspection of ordnance materiel especially ammunition. The Ordnance School unknown
