1938180153Jiujiang China: 1938-39. The aftermath of the Battle of Wuhan An appealing group of photographs the unnamed photographer perhaps an oil consultant sent upriver to Jiujiang to evaluate the impact of the Battle of Wuhan a four-month engagement that saw one million Chinese troops defend five provinces. Japanese troops took Jiujiang in summer 1938 and killed almost 100000 civilians. According to the accompanying booklet of captions the images were taken between December 1938 and May 1939 while travelling with Wenchow a steamer built in 1923 for the China Navigation Company. The ship travelled under the protection of HMS Ladybird a British gunboat with experience of clashing with the Japanese on the Yangtze. The images are far more varied than typical travel albums documenting the impact of Japanese aggression. Four show members of the crew dealing with a Chinese mine in the river. After attempts to blow it up with gunfire fail they try TNT. "We didn't get a big bang because it was found to be water-logged and therefore a dud." Other photographs picture one of the many unexploded Japanese destroyer shells encountered during the cruise and ongoing minesweeping activities. Elsewhere they encounter houses destroyed by the Japanese advance. The Jiujiang oil installation of the Asiatic Petroleum Company is visible in the distance of the third image. Heading to the installation they see the village that sprang up around the installation as Chinese residents fled the Japanese advance. The Japanese are suspicious of guerilla attacks and order the village dismantled. "They also accused us of being spies and receiving information about the conditions in Kuling and that wasn't a bad guess either." Wenchow offers refuge to 400 refugees. As a foreigner he can still find escape from the local suffering documenting the sights and sounds of his journey and exploits with foreign friends. On leaving Jiujiang for Shanghai he is seen off "with the usual firecrackers on the end of a bamboo pole. Thought once or twice they were a bit nearer to the seat of my pants than was necessary. However there was nothing singed." But the voyage back to Shanghai is made not by steamer but by gunboat. Landscape quarto album 200 x 260 mm. Original black and silver textured paper 8 card leaves with window mounts on both sides holding 79 gelatin silver amateur snapshots c. 55 x 80 mm or reverse one photograph now lacking. Each image numbered below in pencil corresponding to 16-page booklet of typed captions secured with metal pins and loosely inserted. Album with some wear and rubbing inner hinges sometime strengthened with paper photographs generally bright and well preserved occasional silver mirroring and fading: a very good collection. unknown
