Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. [KITCHENER, Lord Herbert, 1st Earl Kitchener] GREY, Eric Verner, Lieutenant, Royal Navy. A small group of related correspondence, photographs, and official telegram, relating to Lieutenant Grey's service and death in the loss of H.M.S. Hampshire. H.M.S Newcastle and H.M.S Hampshire…, 5th August 1914 - 3 June 1916. A group of 5 autograph letters signed, various dates (from 1 August 1914 to 3 June 1916), written in ink on naval stationery (most with crowned "HMS Hampshire" device), together with an official Post Office telegram announcing the loss of the vessel and two portrait photographs of Grey in uniform by J Russell and Sons; the whole housed loose, the telegram glazed and framed; usual folds, light handling wear, overall well preserved, a very good grouping. The loss of H.M.S. Hampshire on 5 June 1916 was one of the most widely reported maritime disasters of the First World War, in which Herbert Kitchener was among those killed. The group centres on Lieutenant E. V. Grey, Royal Navy, and comprises letters written to his sister ("Cis") during his service, including material from the outbreak of war through to the immediate aftermath of the Battle of Jutland. The final letter, dated 3 June 1916, is of particular significance. Written immediately following the Battle of Jutland (31 May-1 June 1916), it records a brief but direct contemporary reaction: "we came out of it jolly well… the ancient cruisers were rather strafed as you will see in the papers", before closing with the remark that he is "absolutely dog tired". This letter was written just two days after the battle and two days before his death. The official Admiralty telegram, sent to his sister, reported that H.M.S. Hampshire had been sunk with all on board. The vessel was lost off Orkney on 5 June 1916, shortly after departing on a mission carrying Lord Kitchener to Russia. There is a note written recently from a family member of Lieutenant Grey and his sister. It reads "letters from Great Granny's brother to her from HMS Hampshire, he served with Lord Kitchener on it and enclosed is the telegram to say all had been sunk including Lord Kitchener and Granny's brother." A rare grouping relating Lieutenant Grey who was at the Battle of Jutland and sadly the subsequent sinking of H.M.S. Hampshire, with the uncommon official telegram confirming his loss. Signed by Author(s).

10 ink and watercolor drawings of elevations and plans of fortifications, signed in a lettering hand; with 9 lithographs of classical fortifications &c. (some signed or initialled by Kitchener, with additions). 1 vols. Oblong 8vo. Highly competent album of drawings of fortifications, mines, and elevations by the young Kitchener…while a student at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich. Kitchener (1850-1916), born in Ireland to English parents and raised in Switzerland, spent "an undistinguished two years" at the Royal Military Academy. When he progressed to the School of Military Engineering, Chatham, he began to distinguish himself. He worked with the Palestine Exploration Fund and on the survey of Cyprus, and gained a reputation as a man who knew the Near East. "In 1884 he acted as an intelligence officer for the relief expedition sent to the Sudan to rescue Charles George Gordon; he continually pressed Wolseley, the commander of the expedition, to push forward more rapidly. Despite the expedition's failure to save Gordon, Kitchener emerged with credit and some fame." He was named sirdar or commander of the Egyptian army in 1892, and instituted needed reforms. Under his leadership, Anglo-Egyptian forces defeated the Mahdist armies in the Sudan in 1898, avenging Gordon's death and reconquering the country. Kitchener's administrative talents came to the fore in the South African War, where superior transportation and the policy of destroying farms and interning Boer civilians in concentration camps prevailed against the guerrilla tactics of the Boer forces. In his role as secretary of state for war in 1914, his advocacy of preparations for a long and global conflict defined British policy. A choice item from early in the career of this larger than life and still controversial figure. Leather and cloth over boards, upper cover stamped in gilt. Upper corners perished. Internally clean and fresh 10 ink and watercolor drawings of elevations and plans of fortifications, signed in a lettering hand; with 9 lithographs of classical fortifications &c. (some signed or initialled by Kitchener, with additions). 1 vols. Oblong 8vo. Signed.
