1809373329Robert Graves London Undated c.1809. Unframed Print. Very Good Condition. Robert Graves was renowned for his historical engravings which often depicted military figures and events. This particular illustration portrays Corporal Thomas Brown in 18th-century military attire. He is dressed in a distinguished uniform featuring a buttoned coat a sash across his chest and a striking tricorn hat an iconic piece of both military and civilian fashion of the time. His rank is indicated by the cord on his right shoulder. The tricorn was not just a stylish accessory; it served a practical purpose shedding rain and providing an unobstructed field of vision.Corporal Thomas Brown gained fame for his remarkable bravery during the Battle of Dettingen in 1743 a conflict within the War of the Austrian Succession. As a member of Kings Own Regiment Dragoons Blands Dragoons Brown demonstrated extraordinary courage by reclaiming his regiments standard after it had fallen into enemy hands. In the heat of battle he lost two horses beneath him and sustained grievous injuries including the loss of two fingers and most of his nose. Despite these wounds he fought his way through enemy lines recovered the standard and returned it to his regiment earning enthusiastic cheers from his fellow soldiers.His heroism was later recognized by King George II who awarded him a gold-topped walking stick a silver prosthetic nose and a pension. After retiring from military service Brown settled in Yarm where he ran an inn named after himself. He passed away in 1746 and was laid to rest in St Mary Magdalenes Church where his marked grave remains today. This unmounted image is approx 10 x 15 cms the sheet overall is 20 x 28 cms.

1941196921941. African American Army Transportation Corps photo archive depicting Black enlisted men and noncommissioned officers in wartime transport service occupation duty and domestic training between 1941 and 1952. The strongest identified material centers on the 3528th Transportation Corps Truck Company active from 1943 to 1946 and its successor the 551st Transportation Corps Truck Company active from 1946 to 1947. A captioned portrait places Joseph Galloway "somewhere in Belgium" on December 6 1944 ten days before Germany opened the Ardennes offensive that became the Battle of the Bulge. President Harry S. Truman issued Executive Order 9981 on July 26 1948 requiring "equality of treatment and opportunity" in the armed services but Army integration unfolded gradually through the occupation years and into the 1950s.<br /> <br /> Photo archive of 100 silver gelatin photographs ranging from 1.75 x 2.25 inches to 3.75 x 5.5 inches United States Belgium Japan and West Germany circa 1941-1952. More than half show Black soldiers in uniform including studio and outdoor portraits weapons training field scenes recruits and senior noncommissioned officers. Galloway poses with a pistol in Belgium; transport trucks appear in operation and maintenance; unit facilities domestic training camps interregimental competitions a 155 mm howitzer and soldiers beside a Sherman tank marked "Barbra" extend the record beyond portraiture. Occupation-era scenes include bombed urban landscapes in Japan locations identified as Osumi and Kyoto Black troops with Japanese civilians Buddhist monks at a temple and later service in West Germany including Bonn and Karlsruhe. Approximately one quarter bear manuscript captions identifying individuals dates or locations.<br /> <br /> In WWI many Black troops were denied combat roles and assigned to stevedore work labor battalions butchery companies road work hauling unloading ships and other manual support duties. The National Archives specifically notes that many Black units were kept from front-line fighting and "relegated to support duties." These Black soldiers served heavily in transportation engineering construction and supply roles during World War II making Army logistics one of the central places where African American military labor sustained Allied movement while the armed forces remained segregated. Several scenes place Black and White soldiers working alongside one another preserving the transitional military culture between wartime segregation and the uneven implementation of Truman's desegregation order. Light edge wear occasional creasing and minor surface abrasions to several prints; manuscript captions legible where present; no significant losses observed. Overall in very good condition. The archive gives named faces unit evidence vehicles weapons occupation landscapes and manuscript identifications across the decade when Black military service moved from segregated wartime labor toward formal integration. unknown
