1942222242Japan. 1942. Black and white photograph with an explanatory slip in Japanese. The photograph measures 20 x 14.5cm; the slip measures 16 x 11cm. Edges of photograph little browned slightly affecting image reverse of slip evenly browned with one edge little abraded not affecting text overall a good pair. A view of a sea of abandoned materiel in Rangoon supposedly jettisoned by retreating Commonwealth forces under a scorched earth policy. The shells of trucks appear to make up the bulk of the scrap - wheel hubs and grilles litter the foreground while stacks of car bodies can be seen in the background. <br> <br>The capture of Rangoon by the Imperial Japanese Army proved to be a significant blow to Allied logistics efforts in China and Southeast Asia. Rangoon had served as the starting point for the critical Burma Road and its capture by Japan was seen at the time as a major strategic victory. Japanese planners had hoped that the fall of Rangoon would prove to be the death knell for Chiang Kai-shek's government in Chongqing still doggedly holding out after nearly six years of continuous warfare. These hopes failed to come to fruition however as supplies were instead airlifted and re-routed along the Ledo/Stilwell Road in Assam and Kachin. <br> <br>With Rangoon under its control Japanese forces were able to sweep across the vast majority of the rest of the colony with the notable exception of its northernmost reaches. By 1943 Japan had established sufficient control to establish the State of Burma as a puppet regime led by Ba Maw. With Burma as a foothold the Indian National Army under Subhas Chandra Bose were also able to establish their own pro-Japanese statelet later that same year. . unknown
1942222243Japan. 1942. Black and white photograph with an explanatory slip in Japanese. The photograph measures 20 x 14.5cm; the slip measures 16 x 11cm. Reverse of photograph lightly browned and slightly foxed in a few spots not affecting image slip also evenly browned on reverse and little creased overall a good pair. A view of a Japanese foot soldier armed with his Arisaka Type 99 and bayonet surveying the Nujiang/Salween Valley and River following what is claimed to have been a successful crossing. On the opposite bank a convoy of trucks can be seen winding their way along a dirt track leading away from the shoreline through a patchwork of terraced farms. The remnants of the Huitong Bridge having been destroyed by defending Chinese troops can be seen at the bottom of the valley. <br> <br>Although the explanatory slip included with the image declares the operation to have been a roaring success with a valiant crossing made and the road to Kunming and Chongqing opened by all credible reports the Salween Campaign proved to be a tactical stalemate for Imperial Japanese forces. Although the IJA had indeed been able to reach the Salween River a successful crossing was never made as National Revolutionary Army troops had taken up an entrenched defensive position prior to their arrival. Ultimately the IJA were dislodged by the NRA in 1944-45 with the assistance of Joseph Stilwell. . unknown

8vo., First Edition, with a frontispiece and 14 plates of photographs by Eric Guy, small neat contemporary initials on front free endpaper, fore-edges mottled; original green cloth, backstrip lettered in brown, covers lightly age-marked and faded at edges else a good, bright, clean copy in unclipped dustwrapper, the latter lightly age-soiled and rubbed at edges. Arguably the scarcest of his wartime collections, this important Street title is based on his week-by-week farming diary of the first three years of WWII. Prior to the outbreak of war Street had been primarily a writer and broadcaster; this account of his return to the land gives much fascinating detail on the farming practices of the period. The 'whistle' of the title refers to an air-raid siren. This scarce work is rarely found in really good condition due to stringent wartime production standards. Any dustwrapper is a real bonus. Enser, p.74.

3 vols., 8vo., First Edition, with numerous plates, neat contemporary inscription on front free endpaper of second volume; cloth, gilt backs, all very good, clean copies in the dustwrapper. The trilogy comprises 'The Ballad and the Plough. A Portrait of the Life of the Old Scottish Farmtouns' (1978), 'Willie Gavin, Crofter Man. Portrait of a Vanished Lifestyle' (1980) and 'The Cornkister Days. Portrait of a Land and its Rituals' (1984). David Kerr Cameron's masterly study of the old Scottish rural way of life is carefully structured. In the first volume he tells of the larger farms or 'farmtouns'; in the second he examines the more numerous smallholdings or crofts. In his final volume he broadens the focus to include the life of the fields, the seasons and rituals, and the culture of the agrarian background in general. In its scope, its detail and its rigorous objectivity the trilogy is unique. A handsome set of an important contribution to the agricultural history of Scotland.
Sm. 8vo., Fifteenth Edition, with full-page engraved illustration of an ice-house, some mild age-staining to text throughout; original boards, very neatly rebacked in green cloth to style, old backstrip laid down, paper label, boards mildly age-marked at edges else a very good, bright, crisp copy. Cobbett's domestic manual for the labouring classes was first published in parts between 1821 and 1822. An immediate success, it has become a classic of rural and economic literature and is arguably his best-remembered work after 'Rural Rides'.
