A UNIQUE SECOND WORLD WAR COLLECTION OF APPROXIMATELY TWO HUNDRED LETTERS, PHOTOGRAPHS AND V-MAIL written by Private Lawrence Jacobs, 17th Battalion F.A. OBN. A.P.O. 304th U.S. Army, dated 1943 to 1945, sent to his fiancé, Miss E. Sandler, of 48 East 96th Street Brooklyn New York, the letters cover Larry’s war from his training in the States through to D-Day, the Battle of the Bulge, and his horrific visit to a concentration camp at the end of hostilities, this being especially poignant as Larry was of the Jewish faith, from the tough streets of Brooklyn, each letter well written and descriptive: 'June 18 [1944] Somewhere in France – Dearest, everything is OK. I guess you already know I am in France, I also see from here you are worrying yourself sick, please don’t as things are not as bad as you read in the papers. There isn’t much I can tell you except the people are friendly and are glad that we are here. They have been giving us things for nothing such as wine, eggs, cider, etc. I guess the only reason, they don’t take money is there is practically nothing to buy here as the Germans took everything away from them'; 'April 23 – 45 [1945] – Dearest, today I visited a Concentration Camp... I can’t see how human beings can treat one another in such horrible ways…'.

c. 1943/45 Ariel W/NG, 350 cc. Registration number UAT 376. Frame number XG 56238. Engine number BH 25160. The 348 cc W/NG was Ariel's major contribution to the war effort with some 40,000 examples being produced between 1940 and 1945. While the early examples were little more than the civilian Red Hunter NG by the end of production run many changes had been implemented. It was a popular machine with riders in the many services it was used in. A number of faults were found in the mid 1940 trial by the army and the War Office rated it as "fair, only to be used in an emergency", however the evacuation at Dunkirk resulted in army being seriously short of machines and in August 1940 they ordered some 2,700 machines at £55 each. The last order was from the Navy in April 1945. Many remained in service well into the 1950's. UAT has unknown war history but in 1955 it was presumably released by the MOD and first registered by Hull army surplus and general dealer Ken Blakey on the 11th November 1955; this date is found on the V5C. He sold it to Alfred Cooper four days later and then in May 1972 it was acquired by our deceased client; a gentleman who was very interested in military history, he and his wife often travelled to Europe on the machine to visit old battle sites and memorials. Unused for several years it will require a little recommissioning before use and is sold with the R.F. 60, a 2002 MOT, 2003 tax disc and the V5C, it is currently on SORN.
