Oxfordshire – Crime and Punishment The Tryal of Mary Blandy^ spinster for the murder of her father^ Fancis Blandy^ gent. 1752. Folio^ 46pp unbound^ some dusting and fraying^ modern repair to final page which is missing one section at the top but otherwise appears complete. Rare. The case of Mary Blandy^ from Henley on Thames^ Oxon^ who poisoned her father with arsenic was celebrated at the time mainly because there was considerable debate as to whether she was truly guilty or misguided. She claimed that she thought the arsenic was some sort of love potion which would make her father approve of her relationship with an Army Officer she loved. She was nevertheless found guilty and hanged outside Oxford Gaol on April 6th 1752

WWI series of approx 10 letters including two remarkable and extensive letters to Sir Francis and Lady Denys-Burton from the German Governess to their children dated September 14th and September 16th 1914^ three and six pp 4to respectively^ giving the German perspective on the first few weeks of the War and imploring Lady Denys-Burton to understand the German position. ‘...you know from the papers that so far the German army has been Victorious in France & that a new battle is now raging new Paris. The German troops have been equally successful on the Russian frontier where the Russians lost 92^000 prisoners^ 513 guns about 20000 horses etc in the battle of Tannenberg...I do not know whether you are aware that the French & the Russians have only been on the verge of the German borders...the Russians burnt down every village & farm they got to & shot men & woman for no offence whatsoever. The French behaved like Barbarians... ‘...all along you must be thinking of me as an enemy^ the Barbarian whose soldiers behave like Huns & who are a disgrace to the world ! I implore you don’t believe the dreadful stories in the Daily Mail. They are mostly pure imagination. An organisation has been formed in Germany to spread the truth in England...’ Together with a letter written from France on August 1st 1914 describing what was happening as the troops were being mobilised : ‘... probably all communications will be cut off^ the post if just going so have not time for much^ the train service is all stopped only for the soldiers so it will be absolutely impossible for anyone to travel for about 16 days...’ There is also a letter written on August 4th announcing the actual outbreak of the conflict^ a letter in French from a Belgian officer describing the war

WWII – the Siege of Malta a highly important official British report on the Siege of Malta chronicling the events from June 1941 through to July 1942^ and providing detailed information on the bombing by the German Luftwaffe and the response by the Allied Garrisons and the RAF based on the island^ as well as the response of the people of Malta throughout the continuing siege. The report is typed on 34pp foolscap and includes details on casualties^ bomb tonnages dropped by the Germans^ enemy aircraft destroyed by both the artillery on the ground and the RAF in the air^ the number of RAF fighter sorties and a comprehensive digest of other information including even the numbers of unexploded bombs dealt with each week throughout the siege. This highly important document is considered the only extant copy of this official report. It was prepared by the British Army^ and was typed by the present vendor’s father^ who against all regulations made this copy for him own personal interest. Had he been discovered doing this at the time he would have inevitably faced court martial. The report contains a number of comments which were considered disparaging both of the high command and also of the Maltese people^ and in view of this^ the official copy was ordered to be destroyed. This destruction was carried out by the present vendor’s father^ but he kept his own copy – the present lot – and thus this is the only copy extant. The document will doubtless provide considerable – possibly new – information on what has become one of the most famous and heroic defences in the history of military warfare – for which the Island and its people were uniquely granted the George Cross.

WWI – the letters of a Surgeon from the front an outstanding archive of more than 300 autograph letters written in 1917 (with one from 1918) by Ambrose Edgar Woodall FRCS^ who rose to be both a Baronet and then Lord Uvedale – and one of the founders of the Trades Union Hospital on Hampstead Hill – a position he held until 1958. The letters have been collated and bound into a single volume bearing a portrait photograph of him on the inside cover. Loosely inserted is a small group of snapshot photographs of him taken at the Front during WWI. A highly important archive of primary source information about WWI from the pen of a working doctor and surgeon who served at the Front in France and Italy. The letters begin with his first entrance into the Army (with a Commission as Captain) with observations on fellow officers (who he doesn’t much approve of) and also of the quality of his fellow doctors^ reckoning that only one in 20 are up to the job. On arrival in France he goes to a hospital at Etretat^ he discusses the role of the medical professionals both at the hospital and at the casualty clearing stations and also in the trenches^ and then describes taking charge of the funeral of a soldier who has died of consumption. He is transferred to the 46th and then the 50th Northumbrian Casualty Clearing Station where he encounters the son of the actor Bransby Williams – a Captain in the BFC for 18 months doing aerial fighting and bombing raids until they found out he was under age. He then describes the shooting down of a British plane killing the observer but the pilot survived : ‘...they were surprised in the air & the plane was riddled with bullets before they were aware of the presence of the enemy. The pilot who escaped was suffering from shock but he had roused himself to attend the funeral of his companion who was also his particular chum. The worst of the Germans is that they are always improving this apparatus – we want to be wide awake to keep pace with them...’ He describes a colleague trying to save the life of his brother by opening a vein to give him an instant blood transfusion only for his brother to die^ and then mentions that Lord Alfred Douglas ‘the evil genius of Oscar Wilde’ is now a corporal in the ASC. He attends a lecture on shell shock (a very early example of the recognition of this condition)^ and discusses hearing the news of the Russian revolution as well as reporting on inoculating German prisoners who don’t look like ‘empire builders’. By April he has about 200 patients – describing them as having the intellectual level of a children of 7. He then moves to be with the Durham Light Infantry and describes a German attack with ‘terrific bombardment’ followed by hand to hand fighting in the trenches and machine gun fire. Then in June he witnesses the German bombardment of a town which ‘is no more fortified than Rochdale’ where he describes bodies in the streets and reports : ‘it is this sort of thing that explains why we are all in the war. The German will profess the highest sentiments – rights of humanity – anything you please if by so doing he can lull you to sleep while he carries out his diabolical cruelties...’ Later in the month he describes the aftermath of the Battle of Messines Ridge commenting: ‘...it is a source of wonder to me how patiently these men bear the most frightful injuries – how calmly they die...’ Note: a brief digest of these letters is available on request.

Medal inscribed to Private Khurukjeet of the Scinde Camel Corps.

India – Punjab – Second Sikh War Letter – rare and finely detailed six page letter written during the second Sikh war by a British Army officer to his wife^ dated Hoshiarpur^ December 1848. The letter is interestingly written in double cross hence getting maximum use of paper space. ‘… the affairs of Ramnugger (battle) and defeat of Shere Singh [Attariwala] had been a deserving one…’^ he further writes.. I hope to get a good copy of the Grunth – the holy book of the Seikhs which has been found here…I have of spoil [war spoil] a set of Quoits worn by an Akali^ who I found wounded in the ditch – and a shot fired over my head from the rear of the battery…The letters has a wax seal^ a postage stamp mark for DEC^ and an inscription or signature in Urdu/Persian. Seems like two letters posted as one covering the news from the Sikh wars^ as an early page reads November 1848. Too much to de-cypher. The second Anglo Sikh war was fought in 1848-49 when the Governor of Mooltan rebelled against the British administration of the Punjab after the First Sikh War. Raja Shere Singh joined the rebellion but their forces were crushed and after a series of Battles the Sikh soldiers were defeated at the battle of Chillianwala. Scarce
