The standard was extremely important to the Roman military, beyond merely being a symbol of a legion. A lost standard was considered an extremely grave occurrence, and the Roman military often went to great lengths to both protect a standard and to recover it if lost. By 22 BC, the Parthian king, Phraates, provided an opportunity for Augustus to negotiate a return of the standards in exchange for Turidates, a pretender to the Parthian throne who had fled to Rome. The momentous act was completed two years after and hailed throughout the Empire, commemorated with ceremonies for the deposit of the standards in a special shrine to Mars, and noted on coinage as well as in Augustus personal record of his Res Gestae.

WWI - the Diary of Grace^ Lady Denys Burton and her work at the YMCA at Rouen^ France^ in 1915. Written in a red morocco bound 4to sized book which also features a number of related postcards affixed to pages^ and related ephemera including letters to her^ newspaper clippings^ a c de v photograph of her as a small child^ her Red Cross and other badges and her service medal. Together with a further smaller diary. With full typed transcript. A remarkable and frank diary chronicling the activities of the wife of an Irish baronet who went to France in order to do whatever she could for the relief of the front line soldiers during WWI. The Diary begins with her departure to France in June 1915and continues through to the end of the following July and is extensive in its observation. The transcript indicates that the diary was written specifically for Lady Denys-Burton`s children. `..A Northamptonshire Yeomanry Tommy told me he had been about since November and having been six months in the trenches had had enough of it. He said he could not understand by Kitchener`s army were not set out to replace himself and others as he heard that Kitchener`s army were dying to come out...` `...I had a conversation with an 18th Hussar man who was off to the Front. He had been gassed and had been a month in the hospital...he was very interesting about the gas which he said was like a rising fog...` `...we made acquaintance with a nice Capt Dormer and Capt Carstairs...they both took a very gloomy view of the war and saw not end to it. Capt C [said] he had done nothing and that it was the French who were now entirely holding the German line. He said he had no guns and no ammunition and not enough men and that the French had every reason to be angry with us...` `...[a 2nd Dragoon Guardsman] told me about some battles when the fighting was desperate and his officer had the top of his head blown off...he himself was shot in the face by a shell with poison gas...it was full of many spies at the Front and some of the Germans dress themselves in our uniforms taken from the dead. He told that a company of Highlanders were suddenly seen coming towards them but as they were wearing their kilts the wrong way round then there was no doubt who they were...` `...a very nice Territorial RAMC ...said that in the trenches the Saxons did not at all dislike the English and that on one occasion the Germans and English were talking in quite a friendly way when the German trench was re-enforced and a Saxon called to one of the English men to keep his head down. Immediately before the English man could duck his head he was shot and the Saxon was also shot by one of his officers - on another occasion when one of his regiment saw a wounded German with a shattered thigh and went to bandage it up and immediately this was done the German shot the RAMC. The rest of his men were so angry they tore the German to pieces. Lady Grace Denys-Burton was the wife of Sir Francis Denys of Carlow^ Republic of Ireland.

India - Indian Mutiny an archive of approx 42 issues of the Illustrated Times dated 1857/58 giving a detailed contemporaneous account of the Mutiny^ the British response and reprisals^ with hundreds of evocative steel engraved illustrations - including the atrocity in which British soldiers tied Indian rebels to cannons about to be blown away. There is also a battle panorama engraved by Gustave Dore. A fine and important archive. This contemporaneous account contains much detail that has not featured in subsequent histories which together with the many fine illustrations make this perhaps the most complete and important record of the Mutiny. The incident in which British soldiers tied Indian Rebels to cannons and then fired them is one of the most disgraceful incidents in the whole history of the British rule in India. This act of atrocity was carried out in reprisal for a guerrilla attack on a British Army unit by rebels. When they were eventually captured by the British they were made to lick up the blood of those soldiers they had killed before being executed. The Indian Mutiny took the British entirely by surprise^ but after it was finally crushed^ the simmering dissent which the uprising engendered in the Indian population let to a gradual erosion of British power in the subcontinent^ eventually resulting in India`s independence in 1947. One of the issues in this archive also contains an account^ will illustrations^ of the first distribution of the Victoria Cross^ carried out by Queen Victoria in Hyde Park.

While he was there he met Maharaja Ranjit Singh at Lahore in 1831. Jacquemont provides a fascinating account of the royal Sikh Durbar the Sikhs Akalisetc: [trans.] ‘...the Akalis or immortals are properly speaking Sikh fakirs. The sacred pool at Amritsar is their headquarters but they often spread themselves over the Punjab in large and formidable parties. Ranjit wisely turns their ferocity to his own advantage. He enlists them in his armies and employs them preferably against Mussalman enemies. He has at the moment 4000-5000 of them in the army which he maintains at Attock ready to march against another fanatic Syed. I have only seen two of them in the streets of Amritsar it was evening and the matches of their muskets hung ready lighted. I had never seen more sinister looking figures.’ He describes Ranjit Singh: ‘His right eye which remains is very large his nose is fine and slightly turned up his mouth firm his teeth excellent. He wears a slight moustache which he twists incessantly with his fingers and a long thin beard which falls to his chest. His expression shows nobility of thought shrewdness and penetration and these indications are correct.’ A rare and early important account of the Sikh Kingdom in the life time of the great Ranjit Singh^ just published 4 years before his death

Map Exhibiting the Lines of March Passed Over by the Troops of the United States During the Year Ending June 30th 1858... This finely engraved map shows Army troop movements throughout the United States by land and sea in the preceding year. It includes topography, hydrography, forts, towns, and international boundaries. With an average effective force of about 10,000 men, the Army was hard pressed to provide adequate security to its citizens, particularly in the frontiers of Texas, Arkansas, Arizona, and Minnesota. Thus it was necessary to constantly withdraw forces from one frontier to reinforce another. This map clearly shows the enormous logistics problem that faced the Army in its efforts to maintain a suitable force to contain the hostile Indians. Issued folding and now backed in tissue to repair a number of fold separations. There is a binding trim at top left, faint offsetting, and moderate toning especially apparent along the folds. 17.4 W x 18.9 H U.S. War Department, 1858

Miami and Ft. Washington. The area west of Virginia includes several Bounty Land Grants: Seven Ranges, Army Lands, Ohio Company, Donation Lands from the Commonwealth of Virginia, and Colonel Simmes Grant.

It illustrates the proximity of the hostile Indian threat that existed in the 1830s and shows the location of Army posts that were expected to respond to any hostile action. The military troops at these individual posts were inadequate to counter significant Indian opposition making it necessary for speedy reinforcement.

Plan of the Encampment and Position of the Army under his Excelly. Lt. General Burgoyne at Braemus Heights on Hudson`s River near Stillwater... This detailed and uncommon battle plan shows the placement of British and American forces during the Battle of Saratoga, which took place during the months of September and October 1777. The two battles were fought nineteen days apart, and the interesting overlay at bottom left shows the change in positions of the two armies over that time period, with the Americans advancing north (with north oriented to the bottom). This was a key victory for the Americans. The map uses hand color to depict the troop positions and is from John Bourgoine`s A State of the Expedition from Canada..., published in London. Faden`s maps of the American Revolution are particularly well presented because he based them on manuscript maps supplied to him from the war zone. Issued folding with light toning and offsetting and a binding trim to the neatline at upper left. 13.3 W x 13.9 H Faden, William 1780

A gold mounted amethyst desk seal of fob form, c.1830-1840, heavily chased and carved bale, stirrup and top, set with an intaglio engraved cushion shaped amethyst with a faceted bezel. Tested as approximately 15ct gold The arms are those of Carey impaling Le Marchant for Sir Octavius Carey (1785-1844) and his wife Harriet (1793-1877). The star beneath the arms could be that of the Order of the Bath or Order of Guelph. Carey was made a Companion of the Bath in 1815, Knight Commander of the Order of Guelph in 1835 and Knight Commander of the Bath in 1837. The seal must therefore date from 1835-1844 and the unspecified star probably indicates post-1837. Carey joined the army in 1801 and rose through the ranks to being Major General in 1837. He came from a Guernsey family and continued to reside there.
