This 1940 album produced on the 140th anniversary of the regiment was a crucial time for the military in Argentina with the country officially neutral but much influenced by the German military. The Regiment was led by General Ambrosio Vago first photograph a supporter of the Allies who had refused to take part in the coup of 1930 though at this time was urging a new coup along with a number of Axis-leaning officers to oust President RamÃ³n Castillo with the goal of holding non-fraudulent elections. But it would be Peron who would lead the coup in 1943 with Vago though ostensibly a Peronist not participating and exiled to Bahia Blanca. A rare photographic record of the Argentinean military before Peron's ascendancy. We could locate no copies of this nor any similar items in OCLC or other Latin American or European library databases. n.p. hardcover books

AN AUTHENTIC NARRATIVE OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE EXPEDITION UNDER THE COMMAND OF BRIGADIER- GEN. CRAUFURD UNTIL ITS ARRIVAL AT MONTE VIDEO; WITH AN ACCOUNT OF THE OPERATIONS AGAINST BUENOS AYRES UNDER THE COMMAND OF LIEUT.-GEN. WHITELOCKE. By an Officer of the Expedition

1808WRCAM41553London 1808. viii2161pp. plus four folding maps. Antique-style three-quarter calf and marbled boards. Minor offsetting and foxing on titlepage and other leaves facing maps. Old library stamps on first two leaves; contemporary ownership inscription on titlepage. Errata slip pasted to verso of titlepage. Very good. Untrimmed. In 1807 Gen. John Whitelocke was sent to the Rio de la Plata with a large force. His goal was to reinforce British troops already operating there and in Argentina and to seize Buenos Aires a move designed to open up the markets of South America to British commerce and replace those lost on the Continent by Napoleon's blockade. Despite his large force Whitelocke proceeded cautiously and ineptly further hampered by bad weather. The assault on Buenos Aires was met by civilian as well as military resistance when the British had expected local merchants to welcome them with open arms. Craufurd commanded a light brigade which led the attack on Buenos Aires and successfully achieved its objectives. However a large part of the attacking force was cut off and forced to surrender while Whitelocke napped in his tent and Craufurd's brigade was ordered to surrender with the rest of the British force. Santiago Liniers the Spanish commander proposed a truce if the British would promise to withdraw in two months but said he could not answer for the safety of the prisoners if the attack was renewed. Feeling that the object of the expedition was now untenable Whitelocke accepted those terms. The British withdrew to Montevideo and then to England losing what might have been a foothold in South America. Whitelocke was the subject of the greatest scorn on returning to England where he was court-martialed and cashiered. Though this work is sometimes attributed to Gen. Whitelocke the accusatory and wounded tone of the narrative makes that unlikely. SABIN 103672. PALAU 375051. HALKETT & LAING 1 p.164. DNB online. hardcover books
