Harold Rawdon Briggs attended the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst before being commissioned into the Kings Regiment (Liverpool) in 1915. After seeing action in France, he transferred to the Indian Army in 1916 and fought in Mesopotamia and Palestine, becoming a company commander in the 31st, and later the 152nd Punjabis. He then transferred to the 10th Baluch Regiment and saw active service in the North West frontier region. At the outbreak of World War Two he was a Lieutenant Colonel in command of the 2nd Battalion 10th Baluch Regiment, and in 1940 he was made Brigadier and given command of the 7th Indian Infantry Brigade. After an initial deployment to the Western Desert, Briggs was sent to East Africa where he commanded `Briggsforce` in action in Eritrea, and was awarded his first D.S.O. Returning to the Western Desert, Briggs took part in various actions including Operation Crusader and the Battle of Gazala, and was promoted to command the 5th Indian Division. For his leadership during this period he was awarded his second D.S.O. 5th Indian Division was then deployed to Burma (via Iraq), where it distinguished itself in various actions, and Briggs was awarded his third D.S.O. Following the war he served as C-in-C Burma command, and in 1948 (the year in which the order was discontinued) he was made Knight Commander of the Order of the Indian Empire. In 1950 he was recalled to active duty as Director of Operations in Malaya, where his `Briggs Plan` was considered a key element in the resolution of the Malayan Emergency. Of this highly successful and distinguished officer, Field Marshall Slim said "I know of few commanders who made as many immediate and critical decisions on every step of the ladder of promotion, and I know of none who made so few mistakes".
Set of 12 19th century Japanese hand coloured triptych wood block prints telling the story of Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895) 13.5" x 9.5", (36 individual panels) Conflict began in 1894 with skirmishes between the Japanese fleet and a Chinese cruiser near Asan Bay, south of Seoul. The war saw the Japanese First and Second Armies invade Korea and the Liatong Peninsula, the first naval battle between steam-powered fleets in the Battle of the Yellow Sea, fought by the Japanese Combined Fleet and Chinese Peiyang (Northern) Fleet in September 1894, and the invasion of Taiwan by the Japanese Imperial Guard in May-October 1895. The Japanese were subsequently forced to withdraw from the Liatong Peninsula by the Triple Intervention, but the war established Japan as the oppressor of the Far East and was a precursor to the Japanese military imperialism of the following fifty years. The Sino-Japanese War, saw a flood of prints created depicting its battles and this group is an unusually full collection all mounted together (with several breaks.)
