Highly Important I.R.A. Army Council Archive 1924-5, 1929-31 This is a central file of documents sent to and issued by the IRA's Chief of Staff, who for much of the period covered was Moss (Maurice) Twomey. The documents were filed (or 'dumped') in groups and there is some overlapping of dates. For the periods covered, this file gives a meticulously detailed account of all the IRA's activities and internal procedures. Outgoing letters and instructions from the Chief of Staff are generally in carbon copy; incoming letters are some times in manuscript and sometimes in typescript. Most letters are signed with initials, if at all, or by military position, but most of the writers can be identified by anyone familiar with the IRA's personnel. Many are on headed IRA paper. almost all letters are carefully dated whether by the writer or the recipient. There are over 300 documents, extending to over 500 pages. There is a gap between October 1925 and April 1929. The range of documents is very broad, and the following is intended as no more than an outline guide. (24.3.1924), 3rd Western Div. to C/s, interesting letter about funds needed to pay legal bills for Jock Leonard, in prison for shooting of D.I. Swanzy in 1920; (3 May 1924) Chief of Staff to O/C. Limerick County, setting up a new Limerick command, with code work; (21 May 1924) O/C.

' We are determined that this debt will be discharged by Fitzgerald and are prepared to take very drastic action, if necessary, to compel him to do so.' ; (2 Aug. 1929). C/S to late Adt. No. 2 Area, Ulster, accepting his resignation (after 'justified strictures' on his performance); (April 1929) Letter signed 'P', probably Peadar O'Donnell, mentioning India and Nehru, discussing his own need for independence. 'I had to jump clear of things to follow my own vision, believing that a narrowing deadening insurrectionism is paralysing our revolutionary possibilities.' With a page of 'Notes for fraternal delegates to Birmingham Conference.'; (12.8.1929) Adjt. Gen. to 'L.P.', seeking details of U.S. 'Timthire' (representative) of men who got into USA 'illegally' 1918 - 1921, etc; (5 Sept. 1929) 'J.B.' (Sean Brady) to Mr. Ambrose, seeking to dissuade him from resigning his position; (9.9.29) R.King to C/S, 'I regret that owing to feeling completely tired out and in need of rest and change, I am obliged to resign my position of D.

If they had told us that the money was not available we would be satisfied, but the position is that on the strength of it coming we incurred debts, and borrowed extensively. Now we are in a mess ... You can scarcely appreciate the mental torture and uncertainty we have gone through for months past. It has nearly finished me. Indeed I want to close it all, and would have got out, but it would only be leaving others in a hole,' etc. (April 1930) Points for Speaker, Easter Sunday in New York, 3pp., with a further page of notes of matters to be raised; (26.4.30) notes on American engagements signed 'R', probably in Frank Ryan's hand; (4.6.30) unsigned 3pp personal letter to 'An Timthire' (USA) probably from Moss Twomey, discussing the political situation and relations with De Valera making it clear that Clan people who hope for an arrangement with Dev. are wrong as he is moving towards Free-Staterism, etc; also same date, official Army Council despatch to 'An Timthire,'; (31.3.31) very detailed 3pp typescript to Chairman, Army Council, from new York, evidently from 'Timthire' discussing various issues raised in previous message (lacking last page).

World War II Nazi Leaders. Signatures of Doenitz, Raeder, Speer and Von Neurath. On four identical scraps of paper (115mm x 100mm) dated Nuremberg 1946. Doenitz, Karl (1891 to 1980) German naval commander during World War II. At the outbreak of war, he was the most senior submarine officer. In 1943 he achieved the rank of Grand Admiral and replaced Eric Raeder as Commander-in-chief of the German Navy. On 30th April 1945, after Hitler's death and in accordance with his will, Doenitz became his successor as Head of State. On 7th May 1945, he ordered Jodl to sign the German instrument of surrender at Rheims. At Nuremberg, Doenitz was found guilty of waging unrestricted submarine warfare and was imprisoned for 10 years. Raeder, Eric (1876 to 1960) Also a German naval leader who was named Grand Admiral and head of the German Navy. He and Doenitz despised each other. By the end of 1942, a series of failed naval operations, particularly the battle of the Berents Sea, combined with the outstanding success of the U-boat fleet under Doenitz, led to Raeder's demotion. He was sentenced to life imprisonment at Nuremberg, largely for his role in the German invasion of Norway. Speer, Albrecht (1905 to 1981) The chief architect of Nazi Germany and was for part of the war, Minister of Armaments and War Production. As Hitler's architect, he designed a number of structures, including the Reich Chancellery. He was extraordinarily successful as Minister for Armaments, increasing production despite intensive Allied bombing. His use of forced labour earned him a sentence of 20 years at Nuremberg. Von Neurath, Konstantin (1873 to 1956), A German diplomat, remembered mostly for having served as Foreign Minister between 1932 and 1938. He was regarded as having played a key role in the foreign policy pursuits of the Nazi regime. In March 1939 he was appointed Reichsprotektor of occupied Bohemia and Moravia and subequently of Czechoslovakia, where his draconian regime led to his trial at Nuremberg and sentence of 15 years.

RED FIGURE BELL KRATER ATTRIBUTED TO PYTHON PAESTUM, C. 340-330 B.C. painted terracotta, the obverse with a youthful Dionysos holding a thyrsos , replete with long hair falling to his shoulders, wearing a wreath and a mantle wrapped around his lower body and resting on his arm, he holds forth a phiale towards Silenos who is depicted nude with full beard and similarly carrying a thyrsos; the reverse with two draped youths with dotted hems, one seemingly presenting a sprig to the other; a horizontal wave pattern forming the ground below, above the scenes a wreath of laurel beneath the rim, palmettes and floral motifs below and framing the handles (Dimensions: 36.5cm tall) Provenance: Max van Berchem (1863 – 1921), Swizerland Jorg Baron von Bistram, Bad Reichenhall, Germany Private collection, United Kingdom Note: The vase painter Python is one of only two such artists from ancient Italy whose names have survived on extant works. His workshop was located roughly fifty miles south of modern Naples in the port city of Paestum, styled by its Greek founders after the sea god Poseidon. Alongside his tutor (and possible relative) Asteas, Python produced works purely in the red-figure style, largely conforming to traditional mythological and Dionysian scenes. Only two signed works by Python are known and both reside in institutions: one in The British Museum (1890,0210.1) and the second in the Paestum Museum (21370). This rare piece is from a wider but still limited corpus of unsigned works attributed to him. A vessel designed for the mixing of wine and water at a symposion , it is unsurprising that this bell krater is painted with a series of Dionysian scenes so beloved of the Magna Graecian communities. In the earliest years of colonization, pottery had been imported from Greece, indeed at Paestum there is considerable evidence of 6 th – 5 th century Athenian and Corinthian wares brought from across the Mediterranean. However, by the 4 th century many cities had begun to produce painted pottery of their own, these workshops produced at a stunning rate and began to export around the immediate region. The painted scenes produced by these new workshops remained tied to the Greek heartland, focusing on a distinctly Greek visual vocabulary. Paestum was no exception and by the second half of the 4 th century the Astaes-Python workshop was flourishing, with both individuals signing their names in Greek. Works such as the present example acted to reinforce a sense of Greek identity to those who resided so far from Greece. For another unsigned work of similar style also attributed to Python, please see; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, accession number 1976.11.5.

ANCIENT CELTIC SHIELD WESTERN EUROPE, 5TH CENTURY B.C. hammered sheet bronze, of circular form with an outer border of small raised dots, moving inwards a series of concentric ridges to a central dome and large bronze rivet projecting from the centre, pierced with multiple perforations, raised on a bespoke mount (Dimensions: 40.6cm diameter) Provenance: Private collection, Swizerland, acquired prior to 1990 Bonhams, New Bond Street, London. Antiquities, 1st May 2013, Lot 240 Private collection, United Kingdom Note: This shield is the work of a master metalsmith active at some point in the 5 th century B.C. producing arms and armour for the elite of society. Of circular form and produced from a single sheet of bronze; the design features a series of concentric bands rising into a domed boss at the centre decorated with a repoussé border of small dots. Its design suggests an origin in Ireland or perhaps the British Isles, indeed a similar example can be found in the National Museum of Ireland, Dublin, no. IA:1872.15. As an actual defensive weapon, it is wholly impractical for use in battle. A sword or spear would comfortably punch through the sheet bronze and research shows that whilst the vast majority of shields found dating to this period are constructed from metal, actual shields used in combat would have most commonly been formed of bark or hide. Instead, this piece was created as a work of art, to be worn and displayed on particular occasions, festivals and religious events. In a society where worked metal remained a highly valuable commodity, the shining polished bronze would have dazzled and impressed. The individual who owned this shield would have been of chiefly rank, their status demonstrated by their ability to commission and own prized objects such as this. The most important aspect of this shield though is not its original design, but the series of diamond shaped perforations which are visibly present across the entire body. These are spear marks - but as previously mentioned this was not an object to be used in combat. In order to understand what is going on here we must look into ritual practices that there were written about in contemporary Roman sources and have been attested by modern archaeologists. The ancient Celts were a polytheistic society, their deities, much like those of the Mediterranean, required constant appeasement through sacrifice and gift giving. This gifts provided to the gods needed to be items of the highest value possible to society, so metalwork; with its rarity, beauty and complex production was often selected. A number of studies have demonstrated that the deposition of artefacts in sites linked to water; rivers, lakes and springs - was a particularly widespread custom amongst the Celts in the Bronze and Iron Ages. In fact, we continue this practice today when we throw coins into wells to make a wish. In short, water was seen as a threshold or gateway to the divine world where the gifts could be received and prayers answered. However, before the object could be given, first it had to be broken or “killed”. Swords would be bent, razors or shears blunted and shields pierced. To explain this practice, one theory contents that the gift could not be given until the “power” of the object was broken and its spirit removed. A more modern parallel would be the Polynesian concept of mana , the life force that permeates not only people, but objects. Any article worn or owned by an individual can become imbued with mana through their accomplishments and personality. In this context, ancient Celtic shields such as the present example such would have been seen as personal to such an intense extent that it is hard to comprehend. They were not simply the property of an individual, they were an indivisible part of them. As such, this remarkable shield is a window into both ancient Celtic craftsmanship and ritual practice more than 2,500 years ago.

The Most Distinguished Order of St. Michael and St. George Knight Commander K.C.M.G. set of neck badge & breast star in case of issue, attributed to Sir William Grey Ellison Macartney, former Governor of Tasmania & Western Australia. Neck badge in silver, gold and enamel, complete with full neck ribbon, with star, silver, in silver-gilt & enamel, with retaining pin. Both in exceptionally fine condition, with no faults or cracks to enamel. In original R & S. GARRARD & Co case. Rare.The set comes with copied paperwork relating to Sir William Grey Ellison Macartney (1852-1924), Governor, born 7/6/1852 in Dublin, whose father's chief estate was in Tyrone, in which he represented in parliament in 1874-85. He was educated at Eton and Exeter College, Oxford, taking a first class in modern history (1875), with law and politics becoming his dominant areas of interests. Already grand secretary of the Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland, he became Conservative member for South Antrim in 1885. In January of that year he convened a meeting which inaugurated the parliamentary Ulster Unionist Party, and duly served as whip. His speeches in the Commons concentrated on Irish matters in predictable style.Macartney was a competent secretary to the Admiralty from 1895 until a ministerial reshuffle ousted him in 1900. As a result, he was admitted to the Privy Council. Resigning from parliament in 1903, he became deputy master of the Royal Mint where his work won official commendation. On 5th August 1897 at Holcombe, Somerset, he married Ettie Myers Scott who bore him a son and two daughters. Her brother was Robert Falcon Scott, whose career Macartney helped: 'you have been a brick', the explorer wrote, whilst awaiting death in Antarctica.In December 1912 Macartney was appointed K.C.M.G. and governor of Tasmania. Irish Nationalists protested that his Orange links would offend Tasmanian’s sympathetic to Home Rule. Secretary of State (Lord) Lewis Harcourt averred that the Tasmanian government had approved the choice, but there was some local criticism.The Tasmanian sojourn was made eventful by a constitutional dispute. In April 1914, with Labor and Liberal parties near deadlock, Macartney agreed that John Earle form a Labor ministry, on condition inter alia that an election follow. Earle became premier but, under pressure from all sides, sought no dissolution. Macartney had to suffer the mortification of having his procedure repudiated by the secretary of state while his pertinent dispatches, argued with learning and vigour, were not published.Macartney's comments on Tasmanian affairs were often acid. 'Any comprehensive criticism … appears to be beyond the capacity of either of the Legislative Houses', he wrote of budget debates in October 1915. Politicians he saw as concerned to hold their well-paid seats, profligate with public moneys and subject to narrow interest groups. His view of the State at large was more generous, and he discharged public duties with due form. Perhaps he was happiest as grand master of the Grand Lodge of Tasmania.In April 1917 Macartney transferred to the governorship of Western Australia, where, during his two years and nine months term, he witnessed three changes of political leadership. Government, however, remained in conservative hands. The governor avoided public skirmishes with his ministers, but, as in Tasmania, he seems never to have regarded them highly. Toward the end of 1917 he secretly advised Whitehall that State administration was 'a monument of inefficiency, incompetence and waste'. He travelled extensively within his domain and in Perth continued to participate in Freemasonry, replacing Archbishop Riley as grand master in 1918. On returning to the United Kingdom in 1920, Macartney gave his name and leadership to educational and philanthropic good works, before dying at Chelsea, London, on 4th December 1924.

Frame Size 54cm x 33cm. Items can be sent without frames at buyer’s request.Thomas Henry Whitear was born in Newton Abbot, Devon, England in 1888. He emigrated to New South Wales in 1911, his occupation was recorded as a miner.  He enlisted on the 31/8/1914 to the 4th Battalion A.I.F. After only two months training, the battalion was among the first Australian units to be deployed overseas. Pte Whitear embarked on H.M.A.T Euripides on the 20/10/1914, arriving in Egypt 2/12/1914. After this the battalion undertook further training and took part in the defence of the Suez Canal before landing at ANZAC Cove 25th April 1915 as part of the 2nd & 3rd wave.Pte Whitear is listed on the embarkation roll as serving with ‘E’ Coy, but ‘B’ Coy on his casualty sheet. At some stage he was wounded, possibly on the 25th and evacuated to the transport ship Derflinger. From there, evacuated 29/4/15 landing at Alexandria 1/5/1915 and sent to hospital at Ras El Tin. He returned to Australia 17/7/15 with a ‘bullet in forearm’ and discharged 9/3/1916.  4th Battalion casualties between 25 & noon 30th April: Officers 2 KIA 6 WIA. Other Ranks 26 KIA 89 WIA. 67 MIA. Total 8 officers & 182 men.During the day the medical services were overwhelmed. The suffering of the wounded was pitiful; many men died on the beach, and it is estimated that hundreds more lay in the hills out of the reach of help. Most notably, there were inadequate arrangements for the critically wounded, who could not be taken back to the ships until after all the troops and stores had been landed. It was early evening before boats became available; many of the maimed and bleeding were sent off in filthy barges. No one knows for sure how many Australians died on the first day, perhaps 650. Total casualties, including wounded, must have been about 2,000. This news trickled in to the Australian newspapers. Even a month after the landing, only 350 deaths had been acknowledged.A note from a Sgt in the 6th Manchesters about Alexandria: The Derflinger had returned from the Dardanelles the previous day with 580 wounded Australians and it is said that they were disembarked in about four hours. It is also said that two fell overboard and drowned. There were many Australians on board the Derflinger, having been in the Dardanelles, but having returned with the wounded, and they had a remarkable story to tell about what the Australians had gone through.

On 11 April it took part in the attack mounted against the heavily defended village of Bullecourt - part of the formidable Hindenburg Line to which the Germans had retreated during February and March. Devoid of surprise, and dependent upon the support of unreliable tanks, the attack had little chance of success; after managing to fight through to its objectives, the 46th was forced to withdraw with heavy casualties. Later in the year, the focus of the AIF's operations switched to the Ypres sector in Belgium where the 46th took part in the battles of Messines and Passchendaele.The 46th rotated in and out of the front line throughout the winter of 1917-18. In the spring of 1918, it played a role in turning the great German offensive by defeating attacks around Dernancourt in the first days of April. During the Allied offensive that commenced in August, the 46th also played an active part, fighting in the battle of Amiens on 8 August and in the battle to secure the Hindenburg "outpost line" on 18 September. The battalion was out of the line when the war ended on 11 November, and disbanded in April 1919.

Field Marshall Montgomery, Commander of the British Eighth Army, originally planned his break out operation, 'Super-charge', for the night of 31 October-1 November 1942. However, to ensure that it was adequately planned and prepared, the attack was postponed until the night of 1-2 November. During this planning stage it was vital that the pressure remained on the enemy and the 9th Australian Division launched an ambitious attack with two brigades on the night of 31 October-1 November. The 2/32nd Battalion's role was to capture the enemy's position at the main road at Barrel Hill. Forming defensive flanks to the north, northwest and west, they would form a screen for the 2/48th and the 2/24th Battalions to advance. In the last stage of the attack, the 2/32nd would provide the 2/3rd Pioneer Battalion with anti-tank gun and machine-gun support.On the night of 30 October 1942, the 2/32nd Bn under Lieutenant-Colonel Balfe assembled for its attack due to begin at 10 pm. A German sniper shot at two of the battalion's officers who were reconnoitring before the attack, killing one of the officers. Casualties increased during their advance on the railway line. Despite their increasing casualties, the Australians captured the vital bridgehead known as the 'saucer', the 1-kilometre area which included the German medical post, the Blockhouse, Barrel Hill and a crossing in the railway embankment. During the next day the Australians struggled to hold the area as together with British troops they fought a furious battle against the counter-attack by German tanks. By the evening of 1 November, the exhausted and depleted Australian units were still holding their positions at the 'saucer'. The Eighth Army launched 'Operation Supercharge' at 1.05 am on 2 November.

In June and July, it saw action against Vichy French forces in Syria with the 7th division. Following Japan's entry into the war, Australian troops from the Middle East were transferred to the Pacific region. In early 1942, the Japanese advanced through the Netherlands East Indies. Four days after the fall of Singapore, and on the day Darwin was bombed, Australian troops disembarked in Java from the troopship Orcades, having been diverted on their return journey to Australia.These units and others already on the island became known as Black Force. On the night of 28 February, when the Japanese began landing, Tasmania C Coy was at the forefront of the action. It resulted in the loss of seven members killed and 28 wounded, but afterwards they found that they had killed no fewer than 200 Japanese. However, Black Force was ordered to surrender on 9 March, following the Dutch capitulation the day before. Members of Black Force unit spent captivity in a wide range of locations, including Thailand, Japan and Singapore. One hundred and thirty-nine from the 2nd/3rd MG Battalion died as prisoners.

The men worked on the nearby coalmine, a drift mine which meant that the seams of coal ran close to the surface whereby the coal was excavated by means of long sloping tunnels, or ‘drifts’ that ran out beneath the sea bed.
