Lot 153
A travel journal dated June to July 1847, relating an expedition in Brazil from Rio to Paraiba and back, by an anonymous writer in pencil longhand in a small notebook, 10.5 x 7.5cm, with a pen and ink folding map of the route on tissue paper. The writer records his companions, a Mr Hobkirk and Dr Curtis, and details their route, the estates and people they visit, the crops, wildlife and plants. The writer has an interest in natural history and plants, and mentions a previous visit in 1824 to the Sierra d`Estrilla with `Mr Spence to see Mr Langsdorff`. It is therefore likely that the writer had been engagedon previous botanical expeditions in the region. The last five pages are records of plants. A typed transcript of the journal is available.

DCM obverse lightly polished, war medals with light surface marks, EM in VF condition; Together with War Office M.I.D document, Warrant Officer certificate, photographs, Sergeants Mess presentation mantle clock, and the soldiers hand written and typescript account of his life, entitled "From Month To Month" and dedicated to his best friend during the Great War, Ian McCraig, who was K.I.A May 1918. *Jonathan Bower was born in 1889 and joined the army in 1905. He was posted with the 11th Hussars. Early life in the army was spent in India, where he met fellow signaler McCraig. His account details life on the North West frontier and he has drawn a naive map of patrol routes near the Himalayas. When war was declared in Europe, he was posted with 28th Battery RFA, and arrived in France in 1914. By October 1914 he was involved in skirmishes outside of Mons, and notes in his story that it was here he received his first citation `for laying telephone wire under heavy fire, for the support of the infantry`. After short respite, he rejoined the front at Rouban and Mons. It was here that a Lieutenant Brown and McCraig were wounded. Bower managed to lift Brown over the parapet and to safety. The personal account goes on to detail a tour in Mesopotamia and being presented with his DCM in June 1917 by HRH Duke of Connaught. 1918 saw them being subjected to gas attacks by the Germans and "both sides hanging on like grim death". In July 1918 he was wounded by Shrapnel and spent the remainder of the war in hospital. The final pages explain Bower`s posting at the anti aircraft battery at Middlewood and his life during WWII. A fascinating, detailed account that surely deserves publication.
