‘I feel we can never be really civil to Americans again - but don't tell anyone!’ DU MAURIER DAPHNE: (1907-1989) British Author. An excellent, early A.L.S., Daphne, eight pages, 8vo, Mustapha Barracks, Alexandria, 14th December (1936), to 'My dear Foy' (Foy Quiller-Couch), on the printed stationery of the 2nd Battalion Grenadier Guards. Du Maurier informs her friend that she has written to her mother to thank her for her help with a home and continues to remark 'Well - my dear - hasn't it all been terrible, this thing in England? I suppose you all thought of nothing else, and so did everyone here. I feel it is all for the best, as the new one will be very conscientious and nice, and keep up old traditions. I do so wonder if you had the same feeling as I did; an awful secret fear that the new King might not be cheered when the Proclamation was read, and being a shy man he would probably feel it very much. I almost wired to you to take the train to London….and cheer loudly outside his house! But thank goodness, I see in the papers that he had a great welcome. I am so for him, aren't you? As for Edward - it's so dreadful I almost can't bear to hear him mentioned; although, for his peace of minds sake, I hope he will wear his beret and enjoy himself in Austria. I feel in the bottom of his heart he will feel like Judas Iscarriot (sic) and never be happy again. I do so trust it will be allowed to die down, and he and that Mrs. S. will not be mobbed by vulgar crowds, and people will stop their beastly gossip. The Guardsman (her husband, Frederick Browning) and I feel we can never be really civil to Americans again - but don't tell anyone! (You probably feel the same!)' She concludes by sending her best wishes for Christmas ('and I think 1937 should be a better year for everyone, don't you?') and again refers to the arrangements for renting a home when they return to England. Accompanied by the original envelope hand addressed by Du Maurier. A letter of wonderful content. VG Foy Quiller-Couch - daughter of British writer Arthur Quiller-Couch (1863-1944), and a life-long friend of Du Maurier. Indeed, Du Maurier was accompanied by Foy Quiller-Couch when she became inspired with the storyline for her novel Jamaica Inn. Some years previously the two ladies were staying at Jamaica Inn and went riding on Bodmin Moor. They became lost in bad weather conditions and apparently sheltered for some time in a derelict cottage on the moor but were eventually led back to Jamaica Inn by their horses. Frederick Browning (1896-1965) British Lieutenant-General of World War II, deputy commander of the First Allied Airborne Army in Operation Market Garden, 1944. Husband of the novelist Daphne Du Maurier. Du Maurier writes in the immediate wake of one of the most important events in the history of the British monarchy. King Edward VIII had abdicated on 11th December 1936, just days before the present letter was written, in order to be able to marry his mistress, Wallis Simpson, an American divorcee. Edward's younger brother, King George VI, acceded to the throne and made a speech to the accession council on 13th December, a day before the present letter. The new King's dislike of public speaking is well documented, and was the subject of the film The King's Speech (2010).

London Gazette 20.9.1945 Captain (temporary) Bernard Walter Briggs (129061), The Royal Warwickshire Regiment'In recognition of gallant and distinguished services at Arnhem.'The Recommendation states: 'Early on the night of D Day (Sep 17) Capt Briggs was given command of a mixed force of Bde HQ, Signals, RE and Ordnance personnel, and ordered to hold an important sector East of Arnhem Bridge. The position was difficult to hold as fruit trees and shrubs gave the enemy a covered line of approach.During the following two days the enemy repeatedly attacked this position with tanks and infantry in greatly superior numbers. They were driven back each time with heavy losses. The position was under continuous mortar fire. During the afternoon of D + 2 and morning of D + 3 the situation was made more difficult by the enemy setting fire to the houses Capt Briggs' party was occupying. In spite of this and resulting enemy infiltration he continued to hold the position until every house was burnt down.He then skilfully withdrew the remnants of his force to "A" Coy's position and continued to fight with them.Capt Briggs skilful and inspiring leadership was an example to all and it was undoubtedly largely due to his efforts that the most important and difficult position was held for so long.'M.I.D.
