Fine Turkish Paperback. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In Turkish. 296 p. 19. yüzyil baslarinda Avrupa dengesi ve Nizam-i Cedid ordusu. European diplomacy in the early 19th century and Turkish Nizam-i Cedid army. The Nizam-i Cedid Army refers to the new military establishment of the Nizam-i Cedid reform program. The Nizam-i Cedid army was largely a failure in its own time, but proved to be a much more effective infantry force than the Janissaries. After losing the Russo-Turkish War of 1787-92 in 1792 to Austria and Russia, Selim III concluded that Ottoman military was in serious need of reform if the empire was to survive. As a result, he began implementing a series of reforms aimed at reorganizing the military after the fashion of European militaries. This included the usage of European training tactics, weapons, and even officers. These reforms troubled the Janissaries, who were suspicious and unreceptive towards the reforms. To this end, Selim III created the Nizam-i Djedid in 1797 in order to develop a replacement for the Janissaries. By 1806 this new army stood 26,000 men strong, equipped with a French-style uniforms, European weapons, and a modern artillery corps. Due to their distinctly modern nature, the army was named Nizam-i-Cedid, which has the meaning, in Turkish, of 'New Order.'

4to., First and Sole Edition, with a mounted coloured plate, 2 sepia-toned plates, and very numerous illustrations, cartoons and plans (several full-page) in the text; original wrappers printed in red and black, additional colour plate mounted in frame on front wrapper, wire-stitched as issued, yapped edges, extremities lightly dust-soiled else a very good, clean copy. The 38th (Welsh) Division served with great distinction on the Western Front throughout WWI. Major engagements included Albert, Pilckem, Langemarck, Bapaume, Havrincourt and Cambrai (where the division captured Villers-Outreaux). The four plates (by Capt. A. St. John MacCall RBA) depict 'Rue Sadi Carnot, Armentieres', 'Albert, August 1918', 'St. Remy, Dieppe' and 'Street in Dieppe'. Essentially a collection of reminiscences, light-hearted anecdotes and articles, cartoons and poems (including a few in Welsh). A rare survival, especially in this condition.
Oblong roy. 4to., First Edition, with title in red and black, text and captions in red, blue and black, 34 splendid large plates in photo-collotype and full-page musical score in blue; original red cloth, upper board ruled and blocked with regimental badge in gilt, expertly recased, BUT WITH SOME AGE- OR DAMP-DAMAGE TO 22 OF THE LATER PLATES (mercifully restricted mainly to upper blank margins and only materially affecting around ten plates); nevertheless a valuable record and a very scarce work. An unusually lavish production for a single battalion, this work is distinguished by the quality of the plates, which (damage apart) varies from very good to magnificent. The photographs are superbly executed by F. Bremner, photographer, variously of Lahore, Simla & Quetta, and their rendering as collotypes preserves the quite extraordinary detail of faces, uniforms and equipment. The plates include fine portraits of Major-General Frederick Walter Kitchener (Commanding 3rd (Lahore) Division) and Colonel J.C. Yale (commanding 1st Battalion), together with close-ups of the Colours and mess plate. The main body of plates is devoted, of course, to group studies. These include the officers (individually captioned), the battalion on parade, the Colour and colour sergeants (individually captioned), the NCOs (individually captioned), corporals, companies A-H (each company photographed separately), and a fine series of the battalion's various support units, trades and sports teams. An unusual composition is the plate 'Regimental Types' and depicting eight members of the battalion in a variety of uniforms including officer's full dress and OR's marching order. In addition to the plates, there is a detailed account of the battalion's service from Tournay (1794) to its arrival at Lahore Cantonment in 1906, together with pages devoted to regimental marchess. Not the least importance of this work must be as a superbly detailed record of the appearance of a regular battalion of line infantry of the period - crucially, the last phase of Edwardian opulence and before the irreversible changes brought about by the Great War. EXTREMELY SCARCE. IT IS UNCLEAR HOW MANY OF THESE REMARKABLE PORTFOLIOS WERE PRODUCED; CERTAINLY NOT MANY, AND EVEN FEWER CAN HAVE SURVIVED. Sutcliife p.103; not recorded by White (1965).

Undated but appears to be circa 1989. "I compliment you on your vivid account of your capture and escape at Verrieres Ridge. It is fascinating and very well expressed. I wouldn't suggest you change a word." - Col. C.C.I. Merritt V.C. Author's address ink stamped inside back cover, otherwise clean and unmarked. A sound copy of this important and dramatic personal WWII account. Book
Oblong 4to., First Edition, with 16 plates, numerous illustrations in the text, front inner wrapper map and large folding coloured map at rear, some pages very lightly browning as often; original pictorial wrappers, wire-stitched as issued, covers lightly rubbed at extremities else a very good, bright, crisp copy. Deceptively detailed booklet providing the official context of the immediate post-war occupation of Germany, in which 30 Corps was awarded a prominent role. As a unit 30 Corps requires no introduction here. Led by Horrocks for most of its life, it rapidly became one of the most renowned fighting units of the British Army in WWII: 'in three years' hard fighting in eight countries neither the Corps nor any of the formations under its command have been defeated in battle or forced to yield any captured objective'. From Alamein to Arnhem and beyond, the 'Wild Boar' was never far from the thick of it.
