Lot 245
WWII correspondence ‘... Montgomery is regarded by the men who came through the fighting in Italy as a butcher...’ a remarkable series of more than 70 autograph letters sent by a British soldier, Kenneth Hipkin of 13th Corps Troops Workshop REME to his wife Susan just after the end of WWII making his own observations on the war and the personalities involved. It is remarkable that most of these letters were not destroyed or heavily obliterated by the censor, such were the forthright views expressed in them. In one letter he remarks about the fate of the 243 British paratroopers imprisoned for mutiny in Kuala Lumpur in what was known as the ‘Kluang Incident’: ‘...what a vile and terrible crime has been committed against these men, men who risked their lives for their country. It is high time England had a purge and got rid of all the Nazi elements...the MPs of the British Army make the German Gestapo look like a bunch of Boy Scouts...’ On the effects of the atomic bomb, he writes: ‘...they were the most ghastly sights I have ever seen and it is a grave thing when one realises that a supposedly civilised country, America, used this most hideous form of warfare not on military objectives not on troops but without warning on defenceless people. His views on Montgomery are also revealing: ‘...Montgomery is regarded by the men who came through the fighting in Italy as being a butcher. They say he used to completely disregard the loss of life a battle might cost... that ‘idiot’ Montgomery known as the Butcher says we still need large forces of infantry even though the atom bomb has come...’, ‘...we may as well be under German rule, it couldn’t be much worse than this. ‘[Churchill] is nothing but a wicked old war monger and will never be happy till he sees Britain fighting Russia. Like all Tories he is afraid of Communism spreading and thinks he and his type would loose their power and their money and to prevent that happening would be prepared to start a war that may cost thousands of men’s lives...’ Hipkin is clearly from the far left in his political thinking, but these letters provide a valuable insight into the thinking of the ordinary soldier in the wake of the end of WWII and the dawn of the Cold War. Not everyone though of Churchill and Montgomery as heroes.
