Description:
First World War, Middle Eastern Theatre. This is an original photographic album of 44 snapshot photographs of the life of an enlisted Australian in Egypt at the beginning of the First World War. Laid in is a 1 February 1916 holograph letter addressed to the owner of the album from a fellow service member aboard a troop ship leaving the Dardanelles. The album is in very good condition.

Description:
1919. Very good. Three months after the armistice, Eleanor Williams sailed from New York aboard the R.M.S. Cornia, arriving in Liverpool on February 9 and proceeding to France. Her duties with the YMCA and the troops of the American Expeditionary Force took her to Paris and various parts of the war-torn French countryside, prior to her return voyage to her home in Brookline, Massachusetts in September. Accompanied by Williams' original red and blue YMCA armband, which she can be seen wearing in several snapshots, this album contains 167 original photographs and 39 postcards. The black-and-white images show volunteers performing Shurtleff relief work, bombed out towns, and various points associated with the war, including The Hindenberg Line, Verdun, The Dariaruat, Soissons, Amiens, Reims, Marne, Fort La Pompelle, Fisyes, Chateau Thierry, and Fort Douaumont. There are also photographs of an American cemetery at Belleau Wood, captured tanks and guns, and two soldiers guarding a prisoner. Also…

Description:
[Tokyo?]: N-B-C [publisher in Japanese script], 1950. Hardcover. Near Fine. Small quarto. Measuring 11¼" x 10¼". Printed title page, section of blank leaves at the end with a printed leaf "Personal Memories." Unpaged. Silk string tied patterned silk over boards. 30 gelatin silver photographs (including one folding panorama) affixed to thick card leaves with separate affixed printed captions. Most images are approximately 6" x 4½". Paper over front hinge split, but still tight, fraying at edges of the boards, thus very good; small chips or creases at the the inside corners of a few images internally about fine with very slight wear. The baseball-mad Japanese had made Japan an obvious destination for barnstorming tours of professional baseball teams for the first four decades of the 20th century up until the War. The Japanese were eager to restore the practice and in 1948, the National Baseball Conference under J. G. Taylor Spink, whose 1938 plan to establish non-professional international World…
