The Third Washington Conference (codenamed Trident) was held in Washington, D.C from May 12 to May 25, 1943. It was a World War II strategic meeting between the heads of government of the United Kingdom and the United States. On May 15, 1943 the Combined Chiefs of Staff (US and UK Military Leaders) travelled to Williamsburg, Virginia. On Sunday May 16, they attended a church service in Williamsburg, followed by lunch hosted by the Mayor of Williamsburg, before traveling back to Washington D.C. The following signatures can be found on the front end papers of this book (left to right, top to bottom): 1. Kenneth Chorley - President of Colonial Williamsburg 2. Vernon Geddy - Attorney, Executive Vice President of Colonial Williamsburg 3. Channing M. Hall - Mayor of Williamsburg, 1934 - 1947 4. Dudley Pound - First Sea Lord, Admiral of the Navy, Royal Navy 5. Charles F.A. Portal - Marshal of the Royal Air Force 6. Richard E.C. Peirse - Air Chief Marshal, Royal Air Force 7. James F. Somerville - Admiral of the Fleet, Royal Navy 8. George C. Marshall - Chief of Staff, U.S. Army, later Secretary of State, and Nobel Peace Prize winner (1953) 9. Archibald P. Wavell, Field Marshall, later Commander in Chief, India & Viceroy India 10. Hastings L. Ismay - General British Army, later first Secretary General of NATO 11. H. Merrill Pasco - Lieutenant Colonel, Aide to General Marshall 12. Frank McCarthy - Brigadier General, later Film Producer ('Patton') 13. Joseph T. McNarney - was a United States Army Air Forces / Air Force general officer who later served as Military Governor of occupied Germany The initials at the top are A.F.B. for Alan Francis Brooke, Field Marshal Alanbrooke. In a letter to Mrs. M.C.Long on June 23, 1955 Marshall describes the trip to Williamstown in 1943 as follows: 'I was most impressed of him as a guest of mine when I was entertaining the British Chiefs of Staff with Lord Wavell and his subordinate Chiefs at the restored, ancient Colonial Capital Village of Williamsburg, Virginia. Some swam (the Sea Lord Dudley Pound), some occupied themselves in photography (Lord Wavell), but Alanbrooke, with his field glasses, devoted his time to a study of the Virginia birds in that locality. His persistence and his pleasure in the task were very appealing. We had been having a very hard time in Washington reaching agreements, but the weekend in Williamsburg with no business discussions cleared the air entirely.' According to the official reports about this visit other guests at Williamsburg in May 1943 were Air Chief Marshal Charles Portal, chief of the British air staff; Admiral Sir James Somerville, commander in chief of the Eastern Fleet; and Lieutenant General Sir Hastings Ismay.

ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1926). 1926 1st edition. Foolscap. Ppvi,85. Side-stapled foolscap text-block, black cloth-tape spine to purple paper-coverd boards. Boards slightly used but good copy. An interesting compilation of reports by sporting Royal Naval officer…s. "The enclosed notes on the shooting to be obtained at various places by the Mediterranean Fleet have been collected from many sources during the last 20 years. For information regarding many places in the Aegean or the Levant as it was known in 1893 to our predecessors, I am indebted to 'Sporting Notes in the Levant', published by Lieutenant (now Captain) Dayrell Davies who at that time was serving in the Trafalgar, one of the ships of the Levant Division. .These notes have purposely been printed for private circulation only as it is not desired to give gratuitous information to possible poachers of the Fleet's preserves." Dudley Pound was Chief of Staff to the commander-in-chief of the Mediterranean Fleet (and a Rear Admiral) at the time of publication. He served as First Sea Lord and Admiral of the Fleet from 1939 to 1943, dying of a brain tumour later that year. Chapters include: Safety first; Big game; Small game; Migration; Western Mediterranean; Adriatic and West Coast of Greece; The Aegean; Eastern Mediterranean; Sea of Marmora and Black Sea.

The three items derive from the Bilainkin papers. Each is separately paginated and stapled, with the text on one side only of the leaves. All three in good condition, on lightly-aged and creased paper, with rusty staples. Item One: Titled 'ADD 1960 DIARY. Saturday, July 23.' 7pp., foolscap 8vo. With carbon copy of the same. The…entry describes a reception at 'the imposing and out of date house in South Audley Street, Mayfair, where this evening three to 400 hundred [sic] leading diplomatic social military and other notables of London, gathered to celebrate the 8th anniversary of the July 23 revolution in Egypt, with the handsome charge d'affaire, [sic] and Madame Kamil Eldin Khalil, a strikingly handsome brunette, the height of Princess Margaret.' A gossippy account, with reference to Katsumi Ohno of Japan, the Burmese Ambassador, Harold Walton, Laurence Cadbury, 'Miss Schofield', Tom Bairstow. 'To the Bairstows I recalled the many occasions when, as wife of the Foreign Secretary, Florence Bevin would suffer the humiliation of walking up 3 and 4 times an evening to the one time lorry driver for anaerated water co. in Bristol, and plead in the presence of other guests, "Ernie, Ernie you have had more than enough . . . I am going home now . . . Do come. Ernie, Ernie you promised 10 minutes ago you would come along." All to no avail. I remembered particularly one occasion at the Iraki Embassy when Bevin snuggled his huge paws round the gulf of the waist of the Princess Zaid Al-Husseini and another round the slim red haired wife of the arabist, St. John Philby, and resist the blandishments of his wife.' Item Two: Titled 'ADD DIARY 1960. Thursday, August 18.' 10pp., foolscap 8vo. The first sentence explains the context: 'Hundreds of delegates, from governments, international organisations, private societies, and individuals interested in dealing with crime, and juvenile delinquency, crowded Church House, Westminster, when I returned today to chat with many of my friends from a dozen foreign lands.' These include the 'dynamic' and 'heavily-built vice-chairman of the supreme Soviet Court, Smirnov, with his charming, thoroughly official interpreter, Mrs Stepanova.' There are also reminiscences of Maisky, Churchill, 'the restless Nancy, Viscountess Astor, of Cliveden', the Japanese4 ambassador Baron Tsuneo Matsudaira, 'a fresh-faced youthful Argentine delegate', 'a French missionary', Senor Sir Roberto Pettinato, and Judge Almeda Lopez; also a reference to Admiral Sir Dudley Pound's 'mental illness' and the fact that 'he had often been asleep during sessions of the British Cabinet'. The article concludes: 'Moments of self satisfaction came to me as I waited in the corridor to see Professor Manuel Lopez-Rey, chief of the Section of Social Defence, United Nations, head of the Conference. Spaniard from Madrid, he is thin, medium height, looks as though he has lived principally on mushrooms and herbs. By my side were two or three white delegates who changed with chameleon speed from Russian to German, from English to French, from Polish to something Scandinavian, or maybe Finnish. I smiled to myself with all the vulgarity of that great sin, pride.' Item Three: Titled 'MONASTERY'. 5pp., foolscap 8vo. Incomplete (breaks off suddenly). Written in the form of a dramatic dialogue, beginning: 'Christmas morning in the Monastery. | Scene: Cistercian Monastery in England, early morning of Christms Eve, sitting room for guests visiting in the heart of a Midlands forest. | Time: At present. | Dramatis Personae: Abbot of Monastery, 55, mathematician from Scotland; | Sub-Prior, 70, native of Midlands; | The Rev guest master, 55, School teacher from Dublin; | Lay Brother of the door, 50, former tailor from York; | Instructor of the novices; 45, solicitor from London; | Editor of Daily Newspaper, 45, ex-Public school London; | News Editor of local Daily Paper, 40, half timer in Lancashire cotton mills. | Act 1, Scene 1: - Journalists are approaching the.
