World War One Naval Seaplane Pilot's Letter with Posted Envelope - 24 April 1918
by Lasher, Herbert
- Used
- very good
Dunkirk, France, 1918. Very Good. Letter and envelope are both lightly toned. The envelope has been postmarked with an APO #2 (Paris) flag machine cancellation and has some old tape repairs.
Lasher's letter speaks of making patrols, provides details about regularly coming under fire from big German artillery guns firing upon the air station, and mentions being subjected to nightly air raids.
Lasher was assigned to the U.S. Naval Air Station at Dunkerque, a seaplane station from which naval aviators attacked U-boats going in and out of Belgian ports. The aviators flew Donnet-Denhaut flying boats and Hanriot floatplanes.
Mail from American naval aviators in France before the Armistice is quite scarce.

London: The Mandrake Press, 1929. First Edition. Octavo. 187pp. One of the most brilliant dust jacket with front panel showing the horrors of war where the real enemy is the ugly monster symbolized by the green ravenous beast faced by the soldier in stark horror. Liam O'Flaherty served in World War I as a private in the Irish Guards, so this was his coming to grips with the "war to end all wars". Bound in brown cloth, spine lettering green, some off setting to endpapers, in pictorial dust jacket with chipping to corners and along upper edge of jacket, a crease to rear panel and a dark spot to spine. A very good copy.

Methuen, London, 1917. Book. Good. Hardcover. Inscribed by Author(s). 1st Edition. First Edition (first printing) - a presentation copy inscribed: "From the author, with vivid memories of much hospitality. W.Beach Thomas Oct 16 1919". 8vo. 285pp + xxxi publisher's catalogue. Red cloth lettered and decorated in gold at the spine and in blind at the upper board. Cloth considerably marked and a little worn at corners, yet really quite a crisp and bright copy internally (although the paper used for the publisher's catalogue is of significantly inferior stock to the rest). Beach Thomas' oddly uncommon account of his wartime experiences: he reported for the 'Daily Mail' and at the outset of the war, when Kitchener was opposed to the presence of journalists at the front, was one of several who managed to reach the front lines in Belgium where he was discovered and imprisoned by the British Army, an episode he described as "the longest walking tour of my life, and the…

Arthur H.Stockwell, London [c.1925]., 1925. Book. Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition. First Edition (first printing). Slim 8vo. 31pp. Textured purple cloth with gilt lettering and a blind-stamped border to the upper board. The backstrip ends a little rubbed and worn, and the cloth there faded with a little further uneven fading to the margins of the boards. Some light spotting to the endpapers and title leaf, and the binding a little tender at one gathering. Quite a nice, bright copy of a most uncommon book, which comprises fifteen chronologically ordered poems spanning 1914-1919, split into three sections: 'Portents 1914', 'Home' and 'France and Flanders'. Rather than folk rhymes, I believe these to be original poems, but the work is not noted by Reilly and I can find only two references to either the author or the book: a note in a 7 August 1925 issue of 'The Argus', and a passing reference in an article in the December 1928 issue of 'The Musical Times'..
