* Donald McCormick Archive. [Kitchener, Herbert, 1850-1916, 1st Earl Kitchener]. British Field Marshal who played a central role in the early part of World War One. An archive of research documents and letters, etc., compiled by Donald McCormick in the late 1950s, in connection with his book The Mystery of Lord Kitchener’s Death (1959) including an Autograph Letter Signed by Joe Angus, a Gunner with the Orkney Territorial Forces and the first person in authority to raise the alarm of the sinking of HMS Hampshire, in part, ‘I was sent to Birsay on patrol duty, as it happened I was on duty that memorable night from 8 pm until 12 o’clock midnight, when just before 9 pm a cruiser came in sight, I hadn’t been looking very long when all of a sudden a cloud of smoke & flame burst up from behind the bridge… The cruiser was passing Marwick Hd. when the explosion occurred, and she gradually sank down by the bow, when about fifteen minutes after she disappeared out of sight… I immediately reported the disaster… The news of the sinking was reported about 9 pm; it was after mid-night 12 o’clock before any vessel was sighted near where the cruiser went down. It was a stormy night for June… The sailors must have had a terrible night being cast adrift in such seas; quite a number reached the shore and were left to perish. There were only thirteen survivors and one died shortly after. Bodies came ashore for several weeks after…’, further letters (including a series from Ernest Marwick of the Orkney Herald) providing first-hand accounts of the events following the sinking and the questionable actions of the Admiralty in the immediate aftermath including the prevention of sending out a lifeboat (‘She was not launched, although Mr. Thomson was anxious to send her out. It is stated that Mr. Thomson met with the utmost discourtesy, some say abuse, from the authorities…’) and dismissing the story of a secret salvage of HMS Hampshire having taken place as a myth, a number of letters (most congratulatory although a few dismissing McCormick’s theories as poppycock) written following the publication of his work including 5 from Henry Kitchener, 3rd Earl Kitchener, several from the politician Irene Ward (in one briefly referring to the Admiralty refusing McCormick access, and in another remarking ‘I think that for the record the Admiralty ought to be pressed to divulge what they know’), some correspondence regarding German U-boat captains, letters from the Admiralty (‘I am commanded… to inform you that if advantage is taken of the facilities offered… you will be required to submit the whole of your manuscript, and to amend any part of it for reasons of public interest, regardless of the source from which your information is obtained’), a small number of letters from Antony Terry, foreign correspondent and investigative journalist with The Sunday Times, various related newspaper clippings (one detailing Rasputin’s link with Kitchener’s death) etc., plus a first edition of The Mystery of Lord Kitchener’s Death, (Putnam, 1959)Qty: (approx. 85)NOTESDonald McCormick (1911-1998) British journalist and historian who also wrote under the pseudonym Richard Deacon. As a journalist on the foreign desk of The Sunday Times McCormick at one stage worked alongside Ian Fleming. On 5 June 1916 Kitchener was making his way to Russia on HMS Hampshire to attend negotiations with Tsar Nicholas II when in bad weather the ship struck a German mine west of Orkney, Scotland, and sank. The Field Marshal was among 737 who died. Kitchener’s great fame, the suddenness of his death, and its apparently convenient timing for a number of parties gave almost immediate rise to a number of conspiracy theories about his death.
