Letters from Ceylon, Egypt, Gallipoli, Mesopotamia
AU$600.00 Read MoreAdd to cartH. F. C. Horsfall
Manchester, Reddish and London: Taylor, Garnett, Evans & Co., 1917.Unrecorded WWI memorial publication comprising a selection of letters written home by Henry Francis Coghlan Horsfall (1883-1916), known to his family as Frank. This collection of letters begins from 1906 in Ceylon, where he was running tea plantations. From 1905 he was in the Ceylon Mounted Rifles under the command of his uncle, Colonel Evelyn Gordon Reeves. When war broke out in 1914 he volunteered, embarking for Egypt with the Ceylon Contingent. Biographical sources note that he spent the first nine months “drilling Australians” in Cairo. Some of the letters in this collection record his impressions of the ANZACs. The final letter is dated 2 April 1916. On April 18th Horsfall was mortally wounded in Mesopotamia while serving as a Lieutenant with the 6th (Service) Battalion, Loyal North Lancashire Regiment. He died on April 22nd aboard the hospital ship Coromandel aged 32. Published in 1917, the year after his death, this rare and unrecorded memorial booklet offers poignant first-hand testimony from a tea planter turned soldier, documenting the Ceylon Contingent, the Australians in Egypt, Gallipoli, and the Mesopotamian Campaign. Unrecorded in OCLC.

War: A Degree South Collection #1
AU$50.00 Read MoreAdd to cartDegree South
Sydney: T&G Publishing, 2009.“The collection of images in War — A Degree South Collection #1 truly illustrates that war is the disease of humanity. There has never been a time that it didn’t exist. Once the battlefield was the place of devastation. Now it is streets, alleyways, schools and places of worship. People and places are no longer protected or sacred. During times of war it is now officially safer to be a soldier than an unarmed civilian. In WWI, five percent of casualties were civilians. WWII the figure was fifty percent. In 1990, planet earth was host to 32 conflicts or wars and ninety percent of the casualties were civilians, nearly all of them women and children. Things have not improved and at present there are 43 conflicts taking place on our planet.” (publisher’s blurb) The photographers are Tim Page, David Dare Parker, Ben Bohane, Stephen Dupont, Jack Picone, Michael Coyne, Ashley Gilbertson and Sean Flynn. Text by Shaune Lakin and Tim Page.
