1939 - 1940 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY DETAILING THE ONSET OF WORLD WAR II AND THE ROYAL NAVY'S RUSH TO ENGAGE THE ENEMY FROM THE UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE OF A CAPTAIN OF THE ROYAL MARINES

19390002008ABOARD THE HMS HERMES. Good. 1939. On offer is a sensational 1939 to 1940 manuscript relic of Britain's naval war with Germany at the immediate outset of World War II being an original diary handwritten by Captain G.P.D. Pease Royal Marine aboard the ill-fated HMS Hermes. The diary begins October 7th a mere month after the declarations of war between England and Germany 1939 with sporadic entries from October until mid-December and then another long entry in June of 1940 covering 19 folio sized 8" x 13" pages. Two later pages have damage as if glued pictures were removed with some small loss but not terrible. The ship arrives in Dakar French West Africa to cooperate with the French Navy in hunting German raiders which they then proceed to do. At one point he is invited to go up in an aircraft as an observer. Upon returning they slide across the deck and crash upside down in the sea below. He and the other two aboard were able to escape into a life raft and were rescued. He has a very long entry about this as well as a photo of them being rescued. The long June 1940 entry is interesting as it details the confusion as to what to do with the French Naval ships around them as they don't know what their allegiance is after the capitulation of the French government at that time and the establishment of the Vichy French government loyal to Germany. The Hermes was later sunk in action in 1942. Tucked in are two telegrams from the Admiralty announcing destruction of Graf Spee off Montevideo another regarding HMS Ajax ten Captain's remarks certificates all highly complimentary of his of his abilities dated 1940 - 1957 and his 1938 report card and successful passing to rank of Captain of the Royal Marines. Later he served on the HMS Superb St. Angelo and Implacable. Included are a few miscellaneous photos as well.

[Hawai'i – US Navy – World War II] Whitaker, Jane; Whitaker, JamesBiblio.com

1940s Photo Album with Candid Images of Young Sailors in Hawai’i and Japan During and After World War II

1940List3520United States and Japan 1940. Photo album measuring 10 Â½ x 13 inches containing approximately 350 photos. With four copies of Jane Whitakerâ€™s discharge and immunization papers and the Navyâ€™s Marching to Victory songbook 13th printing Naval Reserve Midshipmenâ€™s School 1943. Album with covers detached and wear to pages; fair. Contents excellent. Overall very good. A photo album belonging to siblings Jane 1924â€“d. and James 1921â€“1997 Whitaker of Florida. Both siblings were in the US Navy; the copy of Janeâ€™s discharge paper indicates that she enlisted in 1943 and was honorably discharged in 1946. The siblings are descendants of founding Florida figures William Wyatt and Mary Wyatt Whitaker.<br /> <br /> The album mainly covers their time in Hawaiâ€™i and Japan. Alongside eighteen photographs of a large military parade one labeled â€œV-J Day Honoluluâ€ with floats including the Filipino Federation of Americaâ€™s celebration of General MacArthur and a bilingual float reading â€œAGGRESSORS GONE FOREVERâ€ and fifteen likely souvenir photos of the Pearl Harbor attack there are approximately 120 candid photographs of the sailorsâ€™ lives. These include spending time with family and children sitting on a tank on the beach barbecuing at a park fishing and doing laundry outside. Some of these were taken in Hawaiâ€™i and others in Japan; a number show a sign for Nimitz Recreation Field which is likely at the US Fleet Activities in Sasebo Nagasaki. Thirty show men not in uniform but also likely sailors mainly during similar recreational activities. Others include photos of military installations and from inside barracksâ€”bunk beds the kitchenette and dining area. Individuals in the photos are occasionally identified verso by first name.<br /> <br /> The album is uncommon for the candid nature of the personnel photos. Of interest to historians of life in the US Navy in Hawaiâ€™i and Japan during WWII. unknown
