21623<p><b>BEN-GURION DAVID.</b> 1886-1973. Polish-born Israeli statesman who became Israel's first prime minister after proclaiming its independence in 1948. ALS. <i>"D. Ben Gurion"</i>. 1p. Postcard. Jerusalem March 6 1955. To Israeli historian and politician <b>BEN-ZION DINUR</b> 1884-1973. In Hebrew with translation. The postcard bears a postal cancellation that commemorates the 40th anniversary of the formation of Trumpeldor's famous Zionist Mule Corps.</p><p><i>"On the fortieth anniversary of the establishment of the 'Zionist Mule Corps' by Joseph Trumpeldor and his friends the youth should know more about the personal example set by the members of the Second Aliyah whose actions and heroism have become the personal educator of the people…"</i></p><p>An early Zionist Ben-Gurion moved to Palestine in 1906 to take up farming. Following his expulsion by Turkey at the outbreak of World War I he rallied British and American support to promote increased Jewish immigration to Palestine and after spending decades strengthening Palestine's Jewish community Ben-Gurion proclaimed the birth of Israel on May 14 1948. He assisted in creating the Israeli army often using military force to thwart Arab violence. After announcing his intention to leave public life Ben-Gurion moved to the newly founded Negev Kibbutz Sde-Boker in early 1954. He never completely abdicated his leadership role however and in February 1955 Ben-Gurion returned to public life first as minister of defense in which capacity he penned our letter. Following his tenure as defense minister he was reelected prime minister in November 1955.</p><p>Born in Pyatigorsk in the North Caucasus <b>Joseph Trumpeldor</b> 1880-1920 abandoned his training as a dentist to join the Russian army in 1902 losing an arm during the Russo-Japanese War. He returned to active duty as quickly as possible but was taken prisoner by the Japanese. After regaining his freedom he became the most decorated Jewish soldier in the Russian army and the first Jew to be offered an officer's commission. However because of his disability Trumpeldor resigned from the military to study law. Increasingly interested in Zionism's goal of establishing a Jewish homeland Trumpeldor immigrated to Palestine Erez Israel in 1911 then part of the Ottoman Empire where he lived and worked on several collective farms while helping defend Jewish settlements in the Lower Galilee. </p><p>With the outbreak of World War I in 1914 the Russian-born Trumpeldor became an enemy alien in Ottoman Palestine and was deported to Egypt where he organized his fellow deportees into a military organization created to assist the British liberation of Palestine from the Ottomans. In 1915 Trumpeldor established the Zion Mule Corps or Jewish Legion part of the 38th and 42nd Battalions of Royal Fusiliers and the subject of our letter. Most of the Jewish volunteers were sent to the Dardanelles during the Gallipoli Campaign where they fought heroically against the Turks. They returned to Egypt and the corps disbanded in 1916. </p><p>By 1919 Trumpeldor had returned to Palestine where he was instrumental in the immigration of Russian-Jewish soldiers to British-occupied Palestine. On March 1 1920 the Jewish farming village of Tel Hai in the Upper Galilee's Hulah Valley came under attack by Shiite gangs from neighboring Lebanon who were searching for French soldiers. Anticipating trouble a militia led by Trumpeldor and organized by the Jewish defense organization Hashomer arrived and a skirmish broke out resulting in a number of casualties on both sides including the fatally-wounded Trumpeldor who had been shot in the stomach. His last words were reported to have been "Never mind it is good to die for our country" "<i>Ein davar</i><i> </i><i>tov lamut be'ad</i>artzeinu" an expression that became as famous as Nathan Hale's "I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country." Trumpeldor remains to this day one of Israel's greatest military heroes. </p><p>Born in the Russian Empire Dinur became involved in Zionist activities around the turn of the century. He immigrated to Palestine in 1921 where he continued his academic career as a scholar of Jewish history. At the time of our letter Dinur was a professor at Hebrew University as well as a member of the Knesset and Minister of Education and Culture succeeding Ben-Gurion in that post and serving from October 1951 until November 1955. </p><p>Written on an Israel Post postcard bearing a March 8 1955 Jerusalem post mark and a second ink postal cancellation in Hebrew and English commemorating the Zion Mule Corps.

193522678EBeverly Hills CA 1935. Original Typed Letter Signed by silent film actor / comedian Ben Turpin to celebrity columnist and radio personality Walter Winchell. One page dated March 31 1935. From the text: “Dear Walter Just a note to advise you that the story of my life is about to be completed. It is to be entitled ‘My Cock-eyed Past’ by Ben Turpin as told to Willis Gordon Brown. It is to be submitted for magazine publication first and then with elaborations to be published in book form. At 66 I look back upon a stage career in the ‘gay nineties’ and a movie career starting with ‘Broncho Billy’ Anderson in 1908 both I believe containing interesting anecdotes and quite a bit of humor. Any ‘plugs’ tossed this way will be deeply appreciated by an old-timer. Sincerely Ben Turpinâ€. With creases from folding and a bit of age-toning else fine. Ben Turpin 1869 - 1940 was a great slapstick film and stage comedian with a cross-eyed expression best known for his work with Mack Sennett.

He is remembered for his catch phrase “Good evening Mr. and Mrs. America from border to border and coast to coast and all the ships at sea. Let's go to press. unknown books

1942WRCLIT71662Washington DC: GPO / Office of War Information 1942. Folio broadside 38 x 28"; 97 x 72 cm scant. Printed by offset lithography in colors with OWI/GPO imprint and date in extreme lower margin. Professionally linen mounted lower margin with imprint retained top and side margins trimmed. With signs of minor color fill at apexes of top folds but otherwise a very good to fine bright example. Rolled. An exceptionally powerful image prepared by Shahn in response to the massacre at Lidice depicting a shackled and hooded man against a brick wall with the dated newswire report of the Lidice massacre superimposed over the figure and the brilliant red caption: "This is Nazi Brutality." Shahn worked for the OWI from the Autumn of 1942 until the Summer of the following year and although he produced a number of images for the agency only two were actually utilized -- the others were dismissed as too violent or as not sufficiently appropriate to the topic of the home front. Shortly thereafter he began his work with the CIO-PAC. GPO / Office of War Information unknown books
