Paper Letter. Condition: Fine. ALS. Two-page letter, written on "Army and Navy Young Men's Christian Association" letterhead. Framed with gray matte, archival glass. This letter is written to "George" in New York. The Corporal spends most of the letter detailing camp life at Ft. Benjamin Harrison, noting that a "about 20,000 sol…diers are here at present and over a thousand a day come in." He describes the offices as: "nearly all civilian doctors, who have had training and got in the officer's reserve corps. They are very decent, but occasionally make "bulls." An insightful look at camp life, shortly before deployment to the European Theater. Ambulance Company #16 was part of the 6th Division Medical Regiment, which deployed to France in early 1918. They were initially stationed along a "quiet" part of the line French-German line, between Verdun and St. Mihiel, the Toulon-Troyon sectors, to train with French medical personnel. Ambulance Company #16 arrived in Brest, France on February 5, 1918, then quickly dispatched to Blois, France where they assisted with soldier fatigue and general medical duties. On March 24, 1918, they deployed to Revigny, where they assisted in French hospitals and with evacuations of injured soldiers. Letter from an acting Corporal in Ambulance Company #16, stationed at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indiana, before deployment to Europe in June, 1917. (illustrator). Signed.

Contact seller5-star sellerAn uncommonly detailed letter written by a Captain D. Crawford of the 46th Infantry to Colonel Charles K. Gardner, detailing his career in the army and asking Gardner to advocate on his behalf for further military service. Crawford's letter gives a detailed account of the process of forming a company by his own endeavors, writin…g, "in the fall of 1812, without bounty, when the pay of a Soldier was but 5 Dollars per month, I almost entirely by my own exertions enlisted a Company of 75 Volunteers." He continues to make his case, both for his career and for his reimbursement, stating "That we have been in no battles is our misfortune rather than our fault. We have done our duty." It is possible that his lack of engagement was a cause of the withholding of funds. Overall an interesting and detailed account of a Captain's experiences in the War of 1812, worthy of study for scholars of the United States military during the period. Fort Richmond, S.I., April 28, 1815 Dear Sir, Understanding that you have gone on to Washington, and expecting you will remain there during the selection of Officers for the Peace Establishment, I have thought proper to address you to make known my desire to continue in the Army and to solicit your assistance in that behalf, wishing that through you the Secretary at War and the Officers directed to assist him may know my claims, which will be briefly stated. It is well known to you Sir, that in the fall of 1812, without bounty, when the pay of a Soldier was but 5 Dollars per month, I almost entirely by my own exertions enlisted a Company of 75 Volunteers. The character of the Regt. to which I was attached is sufficiently known. Col. Gray's reports will show in what state my Company was always found. The term of service of the principal part of the men expired on the 5th Novr. 1813. They generally volunteered a second time to stay till the January 1814, and as the Officers of our Regt. had no orders to engage them for a longer time, they were then discharged, and the most of them reenlisted in the 41st & 42nd Regts. My appointment in the 46th Regt. is the 21st April, 1814. The last of May following, I was ordered on the recruiting service, & during the Summer, enlisted 49 men, all except 2 for 5 years. I have rec'd $1000 only of the public money, the amount necessary and that which is allowed by law to recruit the above number, with the contingent account would be $3288, leaving a balance in my favor of $1788, a great part of which I have advanced, and notwithstanding the exertions of Col. Tallmadge, remains as yet unsettled. We shall have remaining in our Regt. for 5 years about 70 men. Of course above half that will remain were enlisted by myself, in fact, the greatest number that any other officer recruited was 37. If to have been the means of bringing in service a great part of the numbers of Volunteers mentioned above, if to have recruited nearly 50 men for 5 years and by my own advances paid many of them the bounty, if being senior Captain, and enlisting a greater number of men by a fourth part than any other officer of our Regt. gives any claim, then may I confidently expect what I ask. That we have been in no battles is our misfortune rather than our fault. We have done our duty. We have obeyed the orders of those appointed over us. Capt. Gourlay having made arrangements to go in business, has given notice that it is his wish to be discharged. I have only to observe that you have known me as a citizen, and perhaps may have understood my character as an Officer, and being well convinced that what anyone can do in my favor, you can do, I shall ever consider myself as gratefully obliged for any assistance you may render me. Very Respectfully Sir Your obt. Svt. D. Crawford Capt. 46th Infantry [to] Col. Gardner P.S. If it would not be asking too much, I would request from you a line on this business, which I could received at the Post Office in New York, with your opinion when the reduction will take pla.

Condition: Very Good. J.M. de Beaufort, a war correspondent for the London Daily Telegraph and New York American during World War I, recounted his wartime adventures in the 1917 book "Behind the German Veil: A Record of a Journalistic War Pilgrimage." Originally arriving in Chicago in 1909, he married a steel magnate's daughter…and pursued a career in show business. However, by 1912, he had gone through a divorce and transitioned to newspaper work, earning the moniker of the "Dude Reporter." Originally born in the Netherlands as Jacques Albert Uilenbroek, he was thought to be a deserter. He spent the latter part of his life in the United States, apparently jailed in San Francisco for a stint in the 1920s, and eventually settled in Los Angeles. Offered here is an interesting smattering of material from the life of the mysterious De Beaufort, which bookends his most unusual career and life with a large visual photographic record of his life in Europe as a young man and over a hundred pages of manuscript material from late in his life, with a highlight being several maps in draft form for an apparently unpublished project called "Of Men and Maps." As a group the material shows the work of an ex-con artist and war correspondent trying to regain his form while living in Los Angeles. He was still writing as a "Special Correspondent" at this point, though the title seems to have been fully honorary. Also included are two small pocket journals, with sporadic notations from his life in Europe in 1900 and in 1917. In its entirety the group gives an interesting visual and manuscript record of a literary, fraudulent and imaginative transatlantic life and intellect. The cartographic highlight of the group is several iterations of a large map called "Whither Russia," in varied forms, which show an interesting interpretation of the sphere of influence of the USSR and its growth from 1939 to 1946. Also included are two drafts of a map of Operation Market-Garden in the Netherlands in 1944, an unidentifed tactical map of a military battlefield, a map called "Middle East Jackpot," showing the division of territory between the Allied and Axis powers, a map called "Dawn's Early Light, some reproduced small format maps from the De Beaufort's and a small map called "Gifts from Yalta." De Beaufort was working on these maps for a column called "Of Men, Maps and Memories," that was published in the East Los Angeles Tribune. He also sent the columns out in newsletter form from his address at 1635 N. Ogden Drive in Los Angeles. The collection of manuscripts, drafts and retained correspondence tackle a range of subjects, perhaps most interestingly those detailing De Beaufort's creative process - drafts of stories, lists of ideas for stories, and letters. His over the top style is on display in a lot of the writings, some of which are of unknown origin and purpose. The documents contain correspondence between De Beaufort and Edwin Pauley, the oil man and presidential advisor. In one untitled essay, he asks himself the question "What has been your most thrilling experience?" and his reply is, " Silly questions. Who or at least what newspaperman of some 25 turbulent years standing - and falling - could answer such a question. A reporter's life has a thousand thrills. There was that rainy day in Marcy 1915, in the fortress of Loetzen, when I stood face to face with Hindenburg. Hm, yes, that was quite a thrill" De Beaufort was entrenched in the Los Angeles journalistic scene at this point, and the documents show the degree to which he relied on his former glories to attempt various career revitalizations endeavors. The album of photographs from 1906-1909, over 400 in total, give a visual record of the young Uilenbroek's life in Europe. The star of the collection is his bulldog Bob, who travels throughout Europe with him and eventually comes to America by 1907. Mary, who we presume to be his future wife, is featured heavily in the images. It is unclear whether he was working at thi.

Condition: Fine. A descriptive and interesting letter from Captain George W. Clutter of Wheeling, Virginia, describing the scenes and food in Vera Cruz in detail. Clutter had enlisted a detachment of thirty-two men in early 1847 in Monongalia County for service in the war, who would eventually become known as the "Mountain Boys…of Monongalia." Clutter was promoted to the captaincy upon the resignation of John Tyler. The company sailed in June of 1847 on the Brig "Tuckahoe" from Old Point Comfort to Point Isabel, where they marched to join General Taylor's forces. This interesting letter, written by Clutter from Vera Cruz, describes the city and cuisine of Vera Cruz in detail. He writes, "I am now boarding at the best Hotel in the city - it is called "Bells Stage House'. It is kept by a German lady, in great grandeur. The quantity of fruit here is astonishing. Oranges are for sale at about the rate apples would sell in the Wheeling market. I only wish I could send you and the children some of them - such ones as you never eat in the United States, as it would be impossible to carry them so far without rotting. As we get dinner here at 3 o'clock and no such thing as supper is known, I stepped out this evening and obtained a 'cup of chocolate' and 'toast'. If an American (or rather United States) cook could taste such chocolate as the Mexicans make, they never would attempt making the article again - and it is not so much in the simple making of the chocolate, but it's in preparing it at the start - for every family, even the provost, understands making the article from the Cocoa." Clutter offers additional details on troop movements and logistics of the campaign. Other letters by Clutter during the period are held at the West Virginia Regional History Center at WVU. Full contents follow: Vera Cruz, Mexico Thursday Sept. 30th 1847 When I wrote to you from the Brazos, I felt in rather a bad humor, and as I have arrived at this splendid city, the first splendid place I have found in Mexico, I will endeavor to write to you more at length than I did from the above named place. We left the Brazos at 5 o'clock P.M. on Monday, on board the Steamship Ohio, and without ever seeing the sun once during the voyage, arrived here today (Thursday) about 11 o'clock A.M. - truly a quick trip. None of our Regiment, except those who were favored with a passage on the Ohio, in Company with Brig. Genl. Cushing, are here yet. Those of our Regiment here, are as follows: Lieut. Col. Withers, Capt. Clay & his Company and Capt. Campbell & your humble servant, who came upon the sick list. I am much improved since the commencement of the voyage and will with a day or two's rest be able to take up the line of march by the time the Regiment gets ready to move forward to join Genl. Scott. [I must explain here, the balance of the Regiment is coming in ships, which may detain them two or three days, in which event I will have become rested]. I am now boarding at the best Hotel in the city - it is called "Bells Stage House'. It is kept by a German lady, in great grandeur. The quantity of fruit here is astonishing. Oranges are for sale at about the rate apples would sell in the Wheeling market.
