1941TB33750Washington DC: U.S. Department of the Interior National Park Service WPA and CCC 1941. First Edition. Both volumes of this complete two volume set are in very good and near fine conditions. Both are small quartos of 10 1/4 by 7 3/4 inches bound in adhesive bindings in light brown cloth covered boards with darker brown text on the spines and front boards. The cloth at the head and heel of volume I is rubbed and worn and the upper fore corners of the front and rear boards are bumped but professionally straightened and strengthened. Volume II shows only light wear to the cloth at the head of the spine and the text block for this volume was made from two-hole punched paper. Volume I is made from standard un-holed paper. Both volumes contain four index tabs each. In volume I: Northwest Inland States; Pacific States; Yellowstone; and Yosemite; Volume II: Central States Southwestern National Monuments; Southwestern States; and Territorial Parks and Monuments. These two volumes contain 664 pages of bibliographies on 79 national parks and national monuments each one with its own pagination. This bibliography is not listed in any of the WPA or American Guide resources held by Town's End Books. OCLC locates only five institutions owning the book version of this title. The forward contained in volume I mentions that this project started in 1936 with: where "much credit is due Mrs. Hazel Hunt Voth for originally laying out the program and directing it until her resignation in April 1939."

A collection of ten aerial photographs taken during the First World War

118696Very Good. All are gelatin silver prints on thick stock; eight are oblique photographs 207 × 154 mm; two are vertical views approximately 165 × 220 mm; the larger ones are slightly creased at the corners one of them a little more so; the others are in excellent condition. All images are captioned in the negative. All eight oblique views carry the same date 25 June 1918 preceded by 'A3 AEO 62°' ranges from 110 to 121. Place names on them are Hamel Hamel Wood Somme Accroche Wood Tailloux Wood and Vaire Wood. The vertical images are dated 3 May and 27 June 1918 and carry a larger set of alpha-numeric references commencing 'A3 AE A 715' and '35 AE B 929' respectively. All ten prints have the signature 'Capt Sexton' in indelible pencil on the verso. Digitised service records indicate the signature is that of Eric James Sexton of the Adelaide suburb of Hindmarsh; he enlisted on 14 August 1914 shortly before his 21st birthday and was appointed to the 10th Battalion with the rank of lieutenant. He was wounded at the landing at Gallipoli promoted to captain the following day and later invalided back to Australia disembarking on 6 August 1915. By January 1916 he was declared fit again for active service and re-embarked in April for England where he performed various training roles. On 14 February 1917 he transferred to the Australian Machine Gun Training Depot with the rank of major. He embarked for Australia on 12 March 1918 arriving in Melbourne on 22 May 1918. Accordingly Sexton did not serve in France and was a major not a captain by the time these photographs were produced. We cannot explain the anomalies but will let the photographs speak for themselves. Significantly they show the area where the important Battle of Hamel was fought on 4 July 1918. <p>'Hamel was a big battle in miniature involving the experimentation of tanks and small ammunition drops as part of a broader all-arms offensive. While a coordinated offensive was not a new approach to warfare Hamel represented the culmination of three years of learning and innovation on the Western Front testing an all-inclusive approach to mobile warfare. The flawless execution of the operation resulted in Hamel becoming a model for future operations on the Western Front. In his account of the event Monash famously wrote that "the perfected modern battle plan is like nothing so much as a score for an orchestral composition where the various arms and units are the instruments and the tasks they perform are their respective musical phrases' Ellen Cresswell: 'The Experiment - Innovations at the Battle of Hamel' Australian War Memorial website. 10 items. unknown
