Published by From Fort-Manoel Malta on letterhead of the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders 'Egypt'. 22 December, 1903
4pp., 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, on lightly aged paper. He begins by telling him that there is 'no chance of an exchange to this Battalion, all were asked lately and said they did not wish to exchange to the 1st Battn.' He suggests that Scovell's 'best chance' is to 'fill a vacancy caused by a Promotion', in which case he may be 'brought in instead of their gazetting a youngster to us'. He next turns to his polo accident, a 'bad one': 'my Pony turned a summersault [sic] on me and then rolled back over me, I fell on my head and was insensible for about 12 hours and not fully reasonable for about 3 or 4 days'. He describes his continuing symptoms, adding that he 'must have had a good mauling, tho' nothing was broken'. Returning to the question of the exchange, he states that he has discussed the matter with 'General Campbell the father of C. F. F. Campbell', who had been 'asking for an exchange for his sis son from 2nd. Battn. to the 1st. Battn. on account of his weak eyes', but 'nothing would induce' the son to leave the first battalion. In a postscript he informs him that he has written to 'Ewert' recommending a transfer for Scovell, explaining why he thinks it is 'important to have an official in too'. Malcolm's entry in Who Was Who describes his military service: 'Entered army, 1879; 2nd Lieut 42nd Royal Highlanders, 1879; Lt Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders, 1880; Major, 1897; Lt-Col 1902; served Egypt, with Cameron Highlanders, 1882, including Tel-el-Kebir (twice wounded, medal with clasp, Khedive's star); Nile expedition, 1884-85, Staff-Captain with whaler boats (clasp); South African War, 1899-1902 (despatches twice, DSO, medal with four clasps, King's medal with two clasps); commanded Seaforth and Cameron Territorial Brigade, 1906-11; ORC District, 1911-13; commanded troops in Ceylon, 1913-15; commanded Brigade British Expeditionary Force, 1915; Town Major, France, 1917; retired (for age), 10 Dec. 1917.' See also Malcolm's obituary in The Times, 13 December 1938, and Scovell's, 29 April 1948, with his own entry in Who Was Who.

Book
Soft cover. Condition: Good. Original staple-bound tan printed wraps 13 x 17cm. 12pp in closely spaced small font. The printer's code indicates 15,000 copies were printed by H&S (Harrison and Sons) in November 1914. Good only, creased and spotted, with Keith Simpson's name in ink to the top edge of the title page (possibly the military historian) and some sidelines and underlines in ink. Very rare, with 3 locations on Worldcat and Jisc (Durham University, University of Calgary, Canadian Museum of History and Canadian War Museum). Rawlinson (1864-1925) had just taken command of the IV Corps in France, seeing them suffer heavy losses at Ypres during 18-27 October. On 28 October he was recalled briefly to oversee preparation of the 8th Division, leaving Douglas Haig in charge. He returned in November, by which time the attacks on Ypres had died down. This lecture was thus part of his effort to ready the 8th Division for action. RAK Montgomery (1848-1931) compiled these notes whilst serving with Rawlinson during October 1914. Drawing on the instructions of Duke Albrecht of Wurtemberg which had been found on the body of a German or a prisoner, experiences in South Africa and more recently against Germany, this presents lessons in trench warfare, reconnaissance, dealing with artillery, German spies, snipers, etc. It includes Rawlinson's introduction, discussion, and closing remarks.
