* Graves (Robert, 1895-1985). An autograph letter to Harold Eaton Hart, July 13, 1971, 2 pp. on Canellun, Deya, Mallorca headed paper, where he writes in response to a letter, dated 10 July 1971 (2 copies) from Harold Eaton Hart who criticises Graves' book Goodbye to all That, "... I cannot for-bear telling you frankly that I consider your book - or the greater part of it - as a greatly inaccurate and purely subjective account of the experience you and I - and countless others - suffered during those eventful years..."; Graves writes back "Yes, it's odd that so passionate and single-viewed a book should have become a classic and got set this year for Cambridge A-level exam questions. I don't think I was unjust to the Sappers, and indeed report going down one of their saps under the German front line and being impressed by their sang-froid; but we in the R.W. Fus were very trench-proud in the matter of keeping trenches clean, and getting fire-control over the enemy snipers, and took a pride in losing up to 90% of our munitions and still holding a position... I agree about the Kenningtons. They were a really good lot like most of the 47th Terr London Division. Their monument in Battersea Park (near the fun fair) has only serious draw-back: that the sculptor Eric Kennington who had served with them carved it in 1919 and used a R.W.F. officer (myself) as the figure on the right with the shouldered rifle. Rupert Brooke saw no fighting, by the way; Siegfried Sassoon dammed well did.." (responding to Hart's "Rupert Brooke (who, no doubt was anathema to you in those days, and may still be so today) has been my joy and consolation ever since..."), together with other letters from Hart to various other correspondents and their replies (including Malcolm Muggeridge), mainly on the subject of Anglo-French relations QTY: (10)NOTE:Major (Honorary Lieutenant Colonel) Harold Eaton Hart MC served with the Royal Field Artillery during the Great War.

AUSTRALIA. Victoria, 1837-1901. Gold sovereign, 1872/1 M. Melbourne. Shield; 2 over 1. In 1871 it was decided to open a second mint in Australia, this time in Melbourne, to service the increasing demand for gold coins. From now coins would bear the same design as the British sovereigns, identified by a mint mark in the lower section of the reverse of the coin. Dies of the new designs and bearing the date 1871 were prepared in London and left Southampton via boat on 30 September 1871. However, after transferring the package to the steamer Rangoon on 1 November, the boat hit a rock on the Southwest coast of Ceylon. Despite this terrible fate all passengers and a small number of packages were saved. The 1872/1 overdate is testament to the survival of at least one of the 1871 dies as local engraver Julius Hogarth was commissioned by the Melbourne mint to create the overdate die. An extremely rare variety with a captivating story and truly historical significance.Young head left, WW on truncation; date below, with 2 struck over 1; VICTORIA DEI GRATIA. / Crowned shield within wreath; mintmark M and national emblems below; BRITANNIARUM REGINA FID: DEF:.
