 LEOPOLD OF BAVARIA: (1846-1930) German Generalfeldmarschall of World War I, Commander of various German and Austro-Hungarian forces on the Eastern Front and one of only five recipients of the Grand Cross of the Iron Cross during the war. Titular King of Greece 1913-30. A.L.S., Leopold of Bavaria, three pages, 8vo, Munich, 8th January 1882, to [Elizabeth] Rodd, on his monogrammed stationery. The Prince thanks his correspondent for her 'amiable and welcome gift' of a 'charming collection of poems, your son's first publication' and explains that he had wished to read the volume before writing to her, remarking 'I have discovered in your son's work very poetical pictures and deep and pathetic thoughts; the author seems to be a very talented and most promising young man' and further adding 'You must feel proud of your son's success, as he has got the Newdigate Prize at Oxford for his treating a theme in every respect dear to your family'. The Prince further writes of his sadness at the painful loss of his correspondent's brother-in-law and also regrets that he was not in Munich when she passed through on her way to Ammergau 'where the passion of our saviour is so admirably well performed'. Together with an unrelated blank Feldpostkarte hand addressed by Prince Leopold to Erwin Albrecht in Berlin, postmarked 12th September 1915 and bearing a blue and white blind embossed paper seal featuring the coat of arms of the Prince, with his name and return address completed in an unidentified hand above.

LLOYD GEORGE DAVID: (1863-1945) British Prime Minister 1916-22, a major figure at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 following the end of World War I. An important L.S., D Lloyd George, with holograph subscription, three pages, 4to, Downing Street, Whitehall, 4th February 1920, to [George] Barnes, on the blind embossed stationery of the First Lord of the Treasury. Lloyd George announces 'It is with deepest regret that I forward your resignation of office to the King' and continues 'My regret is all the greater because you inform me that the state of your health is such that now you have completed the task entrusted to you in your present position, you feel physically unable to face in a new sphere of activity the strain which is now more than ever inseparable from the discharge of any ministerial office', although also expressing some relief at his correspondent's reasoning, 'Since you have definitely made up your mind, I am unfeignedly glad it is not due to any difference of opinion on questions of policy, or to any disapproval by you of action taken by your other colleagues'. The Prime Minister further adds that he has already expressed in the House of Commons the indebtedness due to Barnes for his achievement in regards to the League of Nations, commenting 'It was a magnificent piece of work, and its success is more attributable to your initiation and wise guidance than to any other living man' and also adding further praise, 'But that is not the sum of your service to your country, notably during the last three years. All my colleagues wish to join me in stating how much they honour the disinterested patriotism which you have uniformly displayed; how much they have relied upon your ripe judgement in the difficult and tremendous problems that came before us; and how much they will miss you in council during the trying days that are in front of any Government that is charged with finding solutions for the problems left by the Great War'. A lengthy series of pencil notes in shorthand appear to the verso of the final page, possibly representing a draft of the letter of reply from Barnes. A letter of good content and association. Some very light overall age wear, otherwise VGGeorge Barnes (1859-1940) British Politician, Leader of the Labour Party 1910-11. Barnes served under Lloyd George in the Coalition Government during World War I, firstly as Minister of Pensions 1916-17 and latterly as Minister without Portfolio 1917-20. After resigning as a Minister in 1920 Barnes played no further significant role in British politics.

KIRKPATRICK IVONE: (1897-1964) British Diplomat who served with the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers at the outbreak of World War I. Kirkpatrick was severely wounded in action against the Turks during the Battle of Gallipoli in August 1915 and resumed his war service in 1916 employed in intelligence and propaganda activities for the GHQ intelligence service. During the last year of the war Kirkpatrick served as a spymaster in Rotterdam, running a network of Belgian resistance agents operating in German-occupied Belgium. A fascinating original manuscript written by Kirkpatrick, being an account of his visit to the Gallipoli Battlefields and Greece, the typescript comprising eighteen pages, folio, n.p. (London), n.d. (1927), on the blind embossed stationery of the Foreign Office, with some holograph corrections and signed ('I.K.') by Kirkpatrick with his initials at the conclusion. The typescript begins with a brief introduction explaining that the account is based on notes made during a recent trip to the Eastern Mediterranean and 'as no-one will have the time or the energy to wade through the whole work' it is divided into three parts, the Gallipoli battlefields, Crete and the Dodecanese, and continues, in part, 'On arrival at Constantinople we had to obtain permits for Gallipoli through the Embassy and wait for the first boat to Chanak….The embarkation was preceded by a scene of hideous confusion on the quay. Swarms of men, women and children were struggling to have their papers stamped at each of three little windows, so arranged that anyone who had finished his business at one window was unable to leave it  owing to the crowd surging round the other. Further confusion was caused by the Customs…..The S.S. Asia was a squalid little boat…..Eatable food is not procurable on board any Turkish ship, so we brought our own…..Needless to say no effort was made to sail punctually…..The night was distressingly uncomfortable…..At 11 a.m. we arrived at Chanak. The War Graves Commission's launch met us…..we went to the police office to have our papers stamped. There we were told that they were not in order and that three photographs were required…..Bored and hungry and dissatisfied we were led through the streets of Chanak to a photographer's booth….our photographs were eventually taken….After an hour we secured the still wet photographs and returned in triumph to the police office, where the same police officer informed us blandly that we had put ourselves to unnecessary trouble, since photographs were not required. The War Graves man with us showed no surprise or irritation at the behaviour of the Turkish police; he was evidently accustomed to it…..at last we crossed the straits….to Kilia Bay, where the War Graves Commission have their establishment. We were met by Captain Rule-Jones, the officer in charge…..Captain Jones gave the impression of ruthless efficiency. He has a difficult task both in dealing with the Turks and in keeping his gardeners, masons and mechanics up to the mark. He told us numerous stories of Turkish official obstruction. Sometimes his letters are returned to him on the ground that the stamp has not been put on straight…..he is not allowed to walk from Chanak to Nagara Point on the ground that he should stick to his own graves and mind his business…..Nevertheless he seems to cope most successfully with his difficulties, and he deserves the greatest credit for the condition of the cemeteries and the battlefields. There are thirty-two cemeteries in all, which have to be visited two or three times a week each. They are beautifully sited and well looked after……The battlefields are almost exactly as they were left in 1915. It is quite easy to find any given portion of trench…..On the afternoon of our arrival we motored to Anzac. The following day we spent on the Suvla battlefield and the following day at Helles. The obelisk at Helles on which are inscribed the names of the 30,000 British missing is extremely fine. It stands as a land mark at the mouth of the straits and can be seen for forty miles…..we made an expedition by car from Chanak to Troy. There is little to be seen there…..Running over the mound of Troy was a Turkish entrenchment built during the war to resist a landing…..', the second part of Kirkpatrick's account relaying his visit to Crete, Mitylene and Smyrna, 'So far as I could judge….the island looked more prosperous than when I was there in 1915…..The town of Smyrna is a melancholy spot, rather like Arras in 1918. Only the Turkish bazaar and the Turkish houses on the hill behind it remain. The rest is a mass of dusty ruins…..We were told that the destruction of Greek villages and the expulsion of the inhabitants all over Asia Minor was having a disastrous effect upon the economic life of the country……Sir Percy Loraine had written to recommend us to Major de Lacy of McAlpine and Sons, who are building a port at Candia, and we therefore expected that he would show us some civility…..We spent four days at Crete. During this time we visited the excavations at Knossos by Sir Arthur Evans and those at Phaestos by the Italian school…..Major de Lacy told us that the incompetence of the Greek administration of Crete did not end with the port. No effort is made to develop the rich resources of the island…..the local officials are as corrupt as they can be…..The population of the island look far from prosperous. We were told that they lived on a little coarse bread and a few olives…..Nevertheless the Cretans have for three thousand years been famous for the docility of their disposition, and there seems to be no reason to anticipate a revolution……The Greeks do absolutely nothing to preserve monuments or antiquities….' and the third part relating to Rhodes and some Dodecanese Islands, including visits to Patmos, Leros ('The only local industry here is Greek millionaires, who own villas and yacht during the summer. On the other side of the island there is an Italian naval base which no one is allowed to visit'), Kalymnos ('It is the only productive island….and exports about one million kilograms of tobacco a year - approximately 12 per cent of the total consumption of Italy'), Cos and Symi ('The local industry is sponge fishing. The fishermen sail as far south as Tripoli in Africa to find their sponges…..It may be of interest to note that Sir Rennell Rodd is an honorary citizen of Symi.') before arriving at Rhodes, 'Certainly the work that the Italians are doing in Rhodes is extremely impressive…..the greatest pains has been taken to maintain the architectural traditions of the island….The island outside the town also bears witness to the material prosperity brought by the Italian occupation…..We were told that the inhabitants still hanker after Greek rule, but we saw no evidence of this. They looked extremely contented and had been well drilled in the Fascist salute, which they executed on any provocation…..There is no British colony in Rhodes. The only British subject is the consul, Mr. Perkins, who is also Lloyd's representative. He is an amiable old gentleman who enjoys the esteem of the Italian authorities…..In Turkey and in Greece the tourist is obstructed rather than helped, but in Rhodes we were encouraged to go everywhere and see everything…..I attach a few picture postcards produced by the Italian official propagandist service….' and finally returning to Athens six days later via the island of Patmos ('The Governor told us that he was taking tactful steps to see that the valuable library in the monastery should be properly looked after') before sailing to Marseilles for their voyage back to England.OWING TO RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED BY THE SALEROOM THE COMPLETE DESCRIPTION FOR THIS LOT CANNOT BE DISPLAYED - PLEASE CONTACT IAA Ltd FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

Asquith (British Prime Minister 1908-16; in full, 'Permit me to send you one line of the most heart-felt sympathy. You have been sorely stricken in your country's cause, but you have glorious & consoling memories', on the blind embossed stationery of the Prime Minister, 10 Downing Street, Whitehall, 2nd October 1915), Reginald McKenna (British Politician, Home Secretary 1911-15, Chancellor of the Exchequer 1915-16; in part, 'I heard the terrible news yesterday. My wife is as distressed as I am, and I cannot find words to express our sympathy….Harold was such a gallant, true-hearted man with fine abilities and great promise for the future. The horror of this ghastly business is overwhelming….', 2nd October 1915. Harold Thomas Cawley had served as Parliamentary Private Secretary to McKenna from 1911), Pamela McKenna (wife of Reginald McKenna; a lengthy letter to Lady Cawley, in part, 'I could not believe it was true last night when I heard in the House of Commons that Harold had been killed…..You know how we both loved Harold - he was with us so much and always so sweet to me and my babies and so loyal and helpful to my husband. One of the reasons why I most longed for the War to end was to have him back again as the House was so strange without him….He was so loveable…..and so upright and courageous in everything he said and did….I like the full-face photograph of him in the papers today and should love to have one, and if I may, I should much love to have some little thing of his to keep….', 1st October 1915) and Walter Runciman (President of the Board of Trade 1914-16 during World War I; in part, 'The hard & painful news which has now come to you has greatly stirred every one of your friends….Would you let me as one who for two or three years had a peculiarly close connection with Harold say how stirred I have been by yesterday's telegram and how sadly it brings to mind memories of days of work and holiday when his bright and brave individuality were a constant joy….It will always be one of my special grounds for thankfulness that he toiled away for me at distasteful tasks and cheered me up at a time when the support of a man of courage was the one essential element in surviving political storms…..Let me add that when the Cabinet heard this morning that Harold had fallen, all round the table our colleagues expressed their deep regrets at what is a real and serious loss to the House of Commons & Lancashire & the Army', n.d.).

[CAWLEY OSWALD]: (1882-1918) British Soldier and Politician, a Captain with the King's Shropshire Light Infantry during World War I. One of the four sons of Frederick Cawley (1850-1937) 1st Baron Cawley, British Businessman and Politician, who served as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster 1916-18.

He was one of 22 Members of Parliament to lose their lives during World War I. Small series of four A.Ls.S. by various individuals, each of them letters written to Baron Cawley concerning the fate and death of his son, Oswald, comprising William Spooner (Oxford Don known for his 'spoonerisms'; in part, 'I am grieved indeed to hear of your son's death…..but he died in his country's cause having voluntarily entered into it, and you must feel proud…' , 22nd November 1918), C. P. Scott (British Journalist, editor of the Manchester Guardian; in part, 'May I just say how deeply I sympathise with you in the grievous loss which has again come upon you….Your son Oswald I had the pleasure of sitting next to not long since at a political dinner and was greatly struck by him without knowing at first who he was….Truly he is not your loss only. How often one wishes that the older men of the nation could fight its battles & bear the losses instead of its best hope & promise', 14th September 1918), Ian Macpherson (1st Baron Strathcarron, Under Secretary of State for War during World War I; in part, 'I have been hesitating to write to you in the hope that we should receive some news which would relieve the terrible anxiety which you must be undergoing. So far nothing has come. But we await anxiously for any sign which would enable us to make every possible enquiry to trace your gallant boy….', on the blind embossed stationery of the War Office, Whitehall, 3rd September 1918) and Herbert Fisher (English Historian & Politician, served as President of the Board of Education in the Coalition Government 1916-22 during and immediately after World War I; in part, 'It is with the deepest distress that I have read…..that Oswald is missing and wounded. I earnestly trust that your worst fears may not be realised and that he may be found to have been safely withdrawn to some hospital under enemy control…..those of us, who, like myself, knew Harold as well as Oswald are able to measure the extent of your sacrifice. It seems only yesterday that I had the honour and pleasure of introducing Oswald to the House of Commons, where he received so ardent a welcome…..', 3rd September 1918). A poignant group of letters.

A fine Chippendale period mahogany chest-on-chest; the outset cornice with a Greek key design above an arrangement of two half-width over six full-width graduated drawers flanked by canted blind fret corners; raised on high ogee bracket feet, the chest retaining its original brass swan-neck handles, together with copy invoice from Edward A. Nowell (BADA) for £5,900, 112cm wide x 55cm (deepest) x 183.5cm high CONDITION REPORT: The linings of the drawers are mahogany and the front of the drawers are also mahogany. Condition generally quite good, it's had some re-polishing at some stage. There are some vertical veneer splits to the frieze under the dentil cornice commensurate with age. The handles look original, the right hand side of the top where the top meets the base section has some restoration. Condition generally reasonable but it has had some re-polishing and there is some evidence of fading to some of it. The right hand side has approx. 10/12cm split running from the return moulding into the piece which has been repaired historically. Overall the piece is in quite good saleable order commensurate with age. There is some scuffing and marks to the periphery of the pronounced ogee bracket feet. See images.

The top may have been re-polished at some stage. There is minor scratching and scuffs commensurate with age. Below the gadrooned top to the rear right hand side approx. 10cm piece of moulding at the top is missing just above the frieze above the blind fret carving where it meets the top itself. The legs are very well carved with scrolling acanthus and terminating in tightly carved claw and ball feet. Some scratching and scuffs commensurate with age. There is a “blind” drawer to the centre of the frieze and the lower right hand beading is slightly damaged but could easily be rectified in our opinion. See images.
