Add to basketAccording to Russell's entry in the Oxford DNB, while reporting on the Civil War, he was described by one American newspaper as 'the most famous newspaper correspondent the world has ever seen'. The inscription on his memorial in St Paul's Cathedral calls him ''the first and greatest of War Correspondents'. He coined the phrase…'thin red line', was instrumental in the sending of Florence Nightingale to the Crimea, and is said to have written the report that inspired Tennyson to write 'The Charge of the Light Brigade'. Like Broadley (whose omission from the DNB is as scandalous as his career), Russell was an active freemason. 2pp, 12mo. In trimmed windowpane mount. In good condition, lightly aged, with slight glue staining on reverse. Folded once. Signed 'W H Russell'. The subject is freemasonry (Russell is not known to have shared Broadley's other interests). Begins: 'dear brother Broadley / I am pickling here in the hope that I may be fit for exportation anon & I shall not be in London till my course is over on 17th'. In consequence he will be unable to attend 'the junction of Bros. Lawson Peters & Toole & the promotion of Brs Prince [Helwig?] & Lord Delamere'. Broadley, a distinguished autograph-collector, also merited a long entry in Wikipedia for his other activities.

The inscription on his memorial in St Paul's Cathedral calls him ''the first and greatest of War Correspondents'. He coined the phrase…'thin red line', was instrumental in the sending of Florence Nightingale to the Crimea, and is said to have written the report that inspired Tennyson to write 'The Charge of the Light Brigade'. The recipient was the proprietor of the Hotel and Restaurant Henry IV, Saint-Germain-en-Laye (which, according to an advertisement in Galignani's 'New Paris Guide for 1879', was 'The only Hotel on the Terrace. / Highly recommended, and old-established / Louis XIV. was born in this House on the 5th Sept. 1638.'). The present item is 2pp, 12mo. In fair condition, aged and worn, with thin strip of glue from mount along the gutter. Folded twice. Signed 'W H Russell'. He enquires after 'un petit apartment libre pour le lundi ou mardi en cas de besoin', at a price 'convenable à ma fortune'. He describes the specifications he requires before noting that M. de Blonetz ma dit ce que j'ai entendu avec plaisir que vous avez garde des souvenirs aimables de moi depuis cet temp terrible 70. 71'. In a postscript he expresses anxiety that 'il y aura une grande foule à St Germain le lundi pour les courses'. It may be that Russell attended the racing with the future King Edward VII: he was, as the Oxford DNB states, 'a member of the Prince of Wales's circle, though his relationship with the prince fluctuated, and he deplored the depravity and obscenity of some of his set'.

Add to basketDouble-sided sheet, neatly folded into thirds. A very good copy of this scarce publication. 30 x 21.5cm. A sympathetic appeal from members of the Indian Parliament to UN Secretary-General U Thant, outlining their concerns regarding the ongoing Bangladesh Liberation War, the harsh detainment of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the risk of…his execution, and the genocide perpetrated by the military junta of Yahya Khan. A telling portent of the decisive Indian intervention in the conflict, this open letter was presumably issued shortly after the 1971 Indian general election, which returned Indira Gandhi to the premiership with an overwhelming majority in the Lok Sabha at the head of her reorganised Indian National Congress (R).

Add to basket3pp., 4to. In good condition, on lightly-aged paper. Addressed by Brett-James in pencil at the head of the first page to 'Lt Gen Sir Brian Horrocks' and with one manuscript correction. The letter begins: 'I do want to say how interesting and worthwhile I found the broadcast discussion last Sunday evening about the factors which…make a good division. All that was said was true and most stimulating, but there are a few points which I should like to add. I served for three years with the 5th Indian Division and had the privilege of writing the Division's history after the war.' He discusses the elements of 'common nationality' and 'tradition and reputation'. On the later subject he recalls 'walking into a canteen the day the Division arrived in the Arakan, its arrival a secret still; we had orders to disguise who we were. The officer in charge of the canteen said at once to us: "I don't need to ask who you chaps are. The 5th Indian Division, I reckon." | We looked duly puzzled at this accurate guess, and he went on: "Nobody else out here wears the Africa Star." | I have not forgotten our pride at this incident.' Another factor discussed is 'the contrbution of the Divisional commander himself to the spirit of the Division'. He remarks: 'I have never forgotten the impatient, desperate, and even illegal efforts made by all ranks, British and Indian, to get back to the Division from hospital and reinforcement camp: they felt that the Division was a home from home in a very real sense.' He concludes: 'Speaking personally, I shall always be thankful that a letter came round to the L of C unit I was with in Syria, asking for volunteers to serve with Indian formations in the Middle East. To have fought with any division would have been better than life in a comparative backwater, and to have served in one of the very very few to fight the Italians, Germans and Japanese (I only know of the 9th Australian and the 7th Armoured Brigade who also did, but there were doubtless one or two others) was a source of still greater satisfaction and pride.'.
