Stalag Luft III - P.O.W. Diary - Macdonald, William Wartime log belonging to Pte. William Macdonald from his time in the German prisoner of war camp Stalag Luft III, dated 1944 - 1945, containing several pages of verses, 15 pages of names and home addresses of other prisoners, 25 tipped in photographs, including one of the Stalag VIIIB school tutors, 5 of life in the camp including the cobblers, 28 drawings in pencil and watercolour by various other P.O.W.`s, including F. Perkins, Jas. T. R. Taylor, G.R. "Chips" Carpenter, Flight Lt. A. Cassie, R. Trunole, A.P. Culverwell, Lt. D.A. Woods U.S.A.A.F, Lindsay Grafton Greenaway R.A.A.F, Flight Lt. P.Hood, A. G. Turton, drawings a mixture of comical scenes of camp life, a view of the camp theatre, a double page watercolour showing the famous "Harry " tunnel from Hut 104, a pencil sketch of the D-Day landings, a single sketch of Milag Nord [Merchant Navy camp] and saucy postcard scenes, original cloth, tape repairs to backstrip, a few leaves loose Note: Stalag Luft III [Permanent Camp for Airman No. 3] was a German camp for airforce servicemen based in near Zagen in Poland. The camp opened in 1942, with the North compound for British servicemen opened in June 1943. The position of the camp was selected in an attempt to prevent escape by tunnelling. However, this camp was the location of two of the war`s most famous escape attempts, potrayed in film in The Wooden Horse and The Great Escape. It is thought that over 600 prisoners worked on the three tunnels - Tom, Dick & Harry - depicted in The Great Escape. Harry was the only tunnel to be completed, the entrance hidden under a stove in Hut 104. Lindsay Greenaway drew a sketch of the tunnel in MacDonald`s log along with the verse "Silently below the surface/ twenty five feet below the floor/ thus the Goons have cause to curse us/ and remember - One-o-Four/ 24-3-43". Another sketch of MacDonald cobbling in his tartan troos was drawn by Alex Cassie in October 1944. A well known member of the escape team, Cassie worked on the endless list of forged documents required by the escapees. He was portrayed in the film by Donald Pleasance.

By 1822 several of the charts published in 1814 were obsolete so they were revised, and the whole atlas was reissued by the Hydographical Office of the Admiralty. Some plates were issued with the statement "Corrected to 1822" and the remaining plates, including the coastal profiles and botanical illustrations were issued with the revised imprint and the Hydrographical Office seal, and, in the case of the charts, with compass roses and rhumb-lines. The complete atlas was not again issued by the Hydographical Office, but as time passed individual plates were revised and reprinted, reprinted without revision, or withdrawn as necessary. In the present copy 8 charts are later issues of the maps, published by the Hydographical Office to the Admiralty rather than by G. & W. Nicol, and all 8 are watermarked "J. Whatman Turkey Mills 1834". These 8 charts comprise: Chart no. 1 [General chart of Terra Australis, or Australia from the surveys of Capt. Flinders and King, with additions from Lieut. Jeffreys and Roe, also from Adml. D`Entrecasteaux, Capt. Baudin and Freycinet of the French marine to the year 1829. Published by Capt.
