Marina Yurlova 1900 - 1984 was a White Army child soldier and author. Daughter of a colonel of the Kuban Cossacks she joined the 3rd Ekaterinodar Regiment at the age of 14 becoming its only female soldier and soon was appointed a mascot of her unit. Marina fought in both World War I and the Russian Civil War. Performing various duties in combat including auto mechanic driver sapper patrol etc. she was wounded in several instances and won the Cross of Saint George for bravery three times. On the last occasion Marina and approximately another 100 soldiers walked through the Siberian snow for a month injured in order to reach the American Hospital in Vladivostok. After recuperating she was given a safe passage to Japan and later in 1922 to the United States where she married cinematographer William C. Hyer 1905 - 1989 and performed as a dancer. Yurlova published her autobiography in three stand-alone volumes - Cossack Girl 1934 Russia Farewell 1936 and the current one in 1937 - which roughly covered the Russian Japanese and American periods of her life. Her Wikipedia article stated that although Cossack Girl had been reprinted copies of Russia Farewell are rare and those of The Only Woman even more so.

194514449np ca. 1945. Very good . Collection of 9 loose approximately 6" x 4" black and white photographs one duplicate. Ink stamp of Universal Photo Service of Lacrosse Wisconsin to rear of each. Print edges slightly curled few with corner creases. Overall very good. <br/><br/>Small photograph collection of a Crossing the Line ceremony aboard an unnamed WWII-era US naval ship. A long-established naval tradition dating back at least until the 19th century such "Sons of Neptune" proceedings initiate sailors "Pollywogs" after their first crossing of the equator by their more seasoned shipmates "Shellbacks". Though these ceremonial hazings could be brutal the one here portrayed seems rather tame with most participants seen smiling and initiates confined to activities like scrubbing the deck. One image does picture a "Neptune Crawl" however where Pollywogs crawl along the deck and are "paddled." unknown books

It includes points on culture language including slang local history and the military justification for American presence in the area; in this sense these pocket books are a unique distillation of American wartime policy composed by the highest decision-makers in government for the soldiers actually setting foot on foreign soil. These guides provide a concise yet rich example of wartime indoctrination and the resulting cultural associations and relationships formed within the average American by the war.<br/><br/> All 18 guide books are war dated and they include: Alaska 1943; Australia 1944; Egypt 1943; France 1944; Paris and Cities of Northern France 1944; Cities of Southern France 1944; Great Britain 1944; India 1944; Iran 1943; Iraq 1943; Italian Cities 1944; New Caledonia 1944; New Guinea and the Solomons 1944; New Zealand 1943; Northern Ireland 1942; Panama 1943; Syria 1942; West Africa 1943.

Written often in a casual approachable way From the Pocket Guide to Iraq: "Herr Hitler knows he's licked if the peoples united against him stand their ground" these guides repeatedly drill in the strategic necessity for Americans to create diplomatic relations wherever they are stationed. For example from the Pocket Guide to New Zealand: "Always remember that it is to our enemies' advantage to sow seeds of discord between us and our allies and it is to our advantage to understand them and to make them our friends." They also illustrate explicit policy motivations as with the Pocket Guide to Iran: "As an American soldier assigned to duty in Iran once called Persia you are undertaking the most important job of your life. There is no other war theater where military success by the United States and her fighting allies will contribute more to final victory over the axis. You've heard a lot of talk in this war about life lines - the sea lanes and land routes by which military supplies flow into the combat zones to be turned against the enemy. Iran is much more that a life line. It is a major source of the power that keeps the United Nations' military machine turning over -- oil. Because of its prime strategic value Iran in the only country in the world where the armies of three of the United Nations -- Great Britain Russia and the United States -- are operating in daily touch with each other . You as an American have a responsibility that goes beyond the ordinary military duties required of you. Your country has a reputation throughout the world for decency and unselfishness in its dealings with other nations. That reputation is a major asset for us in this global war. By your actions you can uphold it or destroy it." Includes period maps of the respective regions as well as cartoon illustrations to accompany the instructional text. Scattered soiling and wear. Altogether very good. unknown books

2010406415London: Black Dog Publishing 2010. A near fine copy with some wear to jacket. 9.75 x 9.75 inches. 190 pages. Profusely illustrated in color. Original blue boards; dust jacket. First edition. "Since establishing himself as a critically acclaimed landscape photographer in the 1970s Fabian Miller has reinvented himself as an artist specializing in camera-less darkroom-produced photographic images exploring the elements of light time and color in a notably spare but also vividly spiritual aesthetic style which recalls elements of Modernism and intuitive scientific exploration. Fabian Miller exposes light directly onto photographic paper through substances such as plants engine oil cut-paper shapes glass and water. The methods used in the capturing of Fabian Miller's artworks means that they are nearly impossible to accurately reproduce resulting in one of a kind strikingly luminous pieces; a record of light's behavior caught on photographic paper.The Colour of Time features images personally retouched under the artist's direction and therefore provides the most accurate printed representation of his work: "The pictures I make are of nothing which exists in the world. What I am trying to suggest is a state of mind which lifts the spirits and gives strength and some kind of clarity" the publisher. <br/><br/> Black Dog Publishing hardcover books
