Serviceman during the US Allied Expeditionary Force (AEF) in Siberia/Mongolia China. Period Kodak Brownie camera format photographs consisting of 52 qty. Sepia 4.25″ x 2.5″, 21 qty. B/w 4.25″ x 3.25″ & 6 qty. 5.5″ x 3.25″ b/w images. There are only two duplicate photos. Collection also includes an invitation to a dance at the International YMCA and a copy of Between War and Peace by Carol Wilcox Melton. With fewer than 8,000 U. Troops involved with the AEF, very little material has survived to this day. This collection is truly a historic treasure trove of rare, never before seen images. What makes this collection particularly better than others are the dozens of rare images of Mongolian peasant and villager life in and around Hailar, Mongolia. Very few AEF photos I have seen online show the local population. Subjects include but not limited to. Chinese New Years street festival. Chinese uniform school boys. Mongolian Buddhist monks and Lamas. Chinese Eastern Railroad construction & trains. Vladivostack streets & Russian troop march. Buddhist temples and shrines. Mongolian horse thief serving sentence. Siberian landscapes and livestock. Camal driven troop caravan Czech legionnaires? Russian settlements and buildings. 4.25″ x 2.5″ format photos were taken in Hailar, Mongolia and are hand annotated on verso, most dating c. Larger photos from Vladivostack are not marked on verso. Given the rarity of this collection, it is hard for me to place a value. PLEASE CHECK MY OTHER LISTINGS!! The item “75pc.

This impressive album is 15 x 11.5 with approximately 275 photographs. It is incredibly well done. The photographs are in very nice shape; the cover has. The images document the service of a Marine, assigned to Marine Scouting Squadron VS-1M and begin with photographs of Marine Barracks San Diego, followed by the units deployment to Guam. It helped establish Orote Field at the Apra Harbor Naval Station, the first Marine aviation base in the Pacific. It concludes with images of the Philippines and China. In 1925 fighting between Chinese warlords reached the city of Shanghai, and twice during the year small contingents of Marines landed in the city to protect American interests. In 1927, a more serious threat blossomed as one of the Chinese forces pushed towards the city crushing all opposition in its path and panicking the International Settlement. Remembering the Boxer Rebellion and fearful of recent Communist depredations, the residents of the community clamored for their governments to provide protection. So, in early 1927, the United States ordered the initial deployment of about 340 Marines from Guam to Shanghai including Marine Scouting Squadron VS-1M. Highlights of this album include images of. Marine Barracks San Diego, California. A number of identified naval warships. Many Marine aircraft including what appear to be Curtis HS-2L seaplanes and Boeing FB-1 fighters. Orote Field including hangars, shops, and target practice with 7mm guns. Departing Guam and life in the Philippines a. Baseball, the Dreamland Night Club and brothel, docks, facilities, Philippine locals, railroad travel, urban and rural life, etc. Life in China the U. Legation, warships, soldiers from several countries including what appears to be a mule-drawn U. Army artillery piece, local Chinese, a camel caravan, scenes of the Forbidden City and the Great Wall, etc. One of the nicest military photo albums weve seen, and a rare visual record of early Marine aviation in the Pacific and the initial establishment of long-term U. Military presence in pre-World War II China. View My Other Items For Sale.

WW2 Photo Album China 1937 Japanese Army Occupation Nanking Nanjing Zaozhuang Xuzhou with 384 Photographs Album has descriptions in Japanese on the pages or under the photographs. Some of the cities and counties include Hanzhuang, Jining, Yi, Yixian, Zaozhuang, Xuzhou, Shandong, Jiangsu, Weishan Lake, Han Village, and others. We have seen quite a few Photo Albums that centered around China including many from US servicemen who served in Country. Some were in the 1920s or before and others focusing on just after WW2 US occupation. This album is different in its content and scope because of all the rare locations and subject matter covered. Normally, most Japanese soldier’s photo albums have no Chinese content and if they do is just a small amount of content. What makes the album rare is that all the photos are from towns and cities in China rarely seen. One series of photos shows Japanese soldiers repairing a hotel to be used for comfort women. They hang up a new wooden sign, Hotel Pyeongyang House over “Maohe Hotel” sign. Now to be used as comfort station. What follow is a few pages of photos of comfort women with some obviously Korean and Chinese, and some may be even Japanese. Another series of photos depicts Japanese soldiers and Chinese installing telephone poles. Some of the photographs including marriage ceremony, funerals, soldiers caravans, railroad stations, bridges, war damage, trains, drinking, fishing, farming, weapons, Pagodas, monuments, Shrines, tractors, etc. Surprisingly no gore or death scenes with just a few prisoners and punishment scenes. Without knowing the history of Japan occupation of China, one viewing this album might conclude peace and harmony between Japanese soldiers and Chinese during the war. Photo Album covers 1937 to 1938 with 384 photographs. More than 95% of the photographs are taken in Japan occupied China. Photographs range in size with most photographs smaller 2.5 by 2.25 inches. Most all of the photographs are well shot with sharp fine detail. Album measures about 14 by 11 inches. Please see images below for best description.
