1926 GUARDS DIVISION MEMORIAL PROGRAMME HORSE GUARDS PARADE LONDON CONNAUGHT WWI. Unveiling of the Guards Division Memorial. The Duke of Connaught, K. (Senior Colonel of the Brigade of Guards). Gale & Polden Ltd, Aldershot. Official programme for the unveiling of the Guards Division Memorial at Horse Guards Parade, London, presided over by Field-Marshal H. The Duke of Connaught on Saturday, 16 October 1926. Printed by the noted military firm Gale & Polden of Aldershot, this inter-war souvenir documents the ceremony in full: guard of honour and inspection, the address by His Royal Highness, the unveiling formula, the dedication by the Senior Chaplain, prayers, the Brigade Call, Last Post and Réveillé, wreath-laying protocol, and the playing of “The Flowers of the Forest” by the massed pipers. The programme further records an inscription to the fallen of the Foot Guards in the Great War and provides a detailed “Order of Battle” of the Guards Division in France and Flanders, listing divisional headquarters, the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Guards Brigades, supporting units (Royal Artillery, Royal Engineers, Royal Army Service Corps, Royal Army Medical Corps, Machine-Gun Regiment, Life Guards squadron, cyclist company, signals, veterinary and ordnance detachments), and the 1918 reorganization. A final spread enumerates the Division’s battle honours as engraved on the memorial-Mons, Ypres, Loos, Somme, Ginchy, Arras, Passchendaele, Cambrai, Bourlon Wood, the Lys, the Hindenburg Line, and many more-offering a concise operational history of the Division’s Great War service. The Guards Division Memorial (often called the Guards Memorial) is the Portland-stone cenotaph with five bronze figures representing each Foot Guards regiment, designed by architect H. Chalton Bradshaw with sculpture by Gilbert Ledward and unveiled on this date by the Duke of Connaught; the day’s proceedings were attended by Crimean War veteran General Sir George Higginson. The programme captures that moment and the inter-war culture of remembrance that followed the First World War in Britain.

Included with the programme is the original printed attendee ticket for the Guards Division Memorial unveiling ceremony, dated. Presided over by Field-Marshal H.

Here is a British Guards regimental pattern frock coat from the early 1900s-30s, but could possibly be older. It’s in rather good condition for it’s age albeit missing one small tassel on the back which is common sadly with these antique frocks. The size is a 32R I’d say judging by the measurements. This would make an excellent collection piece and one I’ll be sad to lose but I need to thin out my own at the moment.

From an estate, a handwritten diary that was found with other military items from a US 4. Marine Veteran, George Mowerr, who was in China, WW II and Korea. The diary was written by five Marines (their rank and last names listed on the first page) while on duty in China from Dec. 28, 1934 through Feb 1, 1935. There are 65 full-sized pages, handwritten in pencil, describing their trip up the Yangtze River where they were detailed as Armed Guards for the Yangtze Rapid Steamship Co. And later transferred to the I Pinged and I Chang ships. An interesting paragraph on the first page of the diary: This was written in the simple words of those who made the trip, so that as they ramble through its pages, they may live over again in their memory those days spent on the Yangtze River. I have to agree after reading this diary, very interesting details of their trip with lots of scenery descriptions of the river, weather and people who lived along the river. Paragraphs on Chinese ships and soldiers, description of night watch looking out for bandits and Reds. One of the trips ashore is described as, By chance we were witness to a very interesting sight this afternoon. We saw a number of Chinese soldiers forcing a number of Chinese civilians into service in the army. They must have had about a thousand of these recruits and they marched them down the streets four abreast. It goes into more detail, ending with the sampan going over the rapids. Many more interesting events, their thoughts and observations of the Chinese way of life, and beautiful descriptions of the scenery. A very well written diary with some sentences crossed out. Not sure if the diary is complete because it ends on Feb. With no mention of any transfer or change in duty, only that they were close to Shanghai. It ends with, We anchored for the night at 2200. Shaw said that the Captain told him we would be in Shanghai about 1000 tomorrow. Nelson is becoming more and more restless. He is longing for the dear old Shanghai nights.
