Wraps. 264 p. avec une carte. This is one of the "Collection de memories, etudes et document pur servir a l'historie de la guerre mondiale". From Wikipedia: "George Alexander Hill (1892 1968) was a British intelligence officer. Hill was the son of a timber merchant with business interests stretching from Siberia to Persia. He had exceptional linguistic skills, and learned to speak six languages, including Russian. Hill was in British Columbia on a fishing trip when the First World War broke out in 1914. He joined a Canadian infantry regiment and was posted to Ypres in 1915. He displayed exceptional bravery and was seriously wounded. He was then sent to the War Office where after training by Scotland Yard he began his career as an intelligence officer, his first assignment being to fly agents behind enemy lines in Greece. In 1917, he was sent to Petrograd, ostensibly as a member of the Royal Flying Corps mission, arriving amid the confusion of the Bolshevik Revolution. In his memoirs, not generally regarded as entirely reliable, he described how he took the Romanian crown jewels from the Kremlin to Iasi, helped Leon Trotsky to organize a military intelligence service and the Red Air Force, ran guns to Ukrainian nationalists, and recruited German agents for counter-intelligence work. According to Hill he personally blew up an enemy gasworks, overpowered an assassin who attempted to kill him with a grenade by striking him in the head with a brick and ran one of 2 men who had followed him from secret meeting through with his swordstick. He eschewed carrying firearms whilst undercover as he considered them impossible to explain if searched and improvised having a bottle of acid to hand whenever writing his dispatches so that he could quickly destroy his secret documents if necessary. Rather than physical force Hill preferred bribery noting that 'I had always found the value of including in my kit a certain amount of good plain chocolate, half a dozen pairs of ladies silk stockings and two or three boxes of the more expensive kind of Parisian toilet soap. My experience was that, presented at the right psychological moment they would unlock doors which neither wine nor gold would open' When the British landed in Murmansk he was obliged to flee to Finland with the Soviet secret service, the Cheka in hot pursuit. He returned briefly to Russia before being posted by the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) to the Middle East. SIS being short of funds, he left after three years and lived in a caravan in Sussex with his wife. His service had earned him a DSO and an MBE, and he was mentioned in dispatches three times. Hill took a series of jobs, with Royal Dutch Shell, he was manager of the Globe Theatre in London, and deputy general manager to the theatrical impresario C. B. Cochran. He also wrote two volumes of memoirs, Go Spy the Land (1933) and The Dreaded Hour (1936) as well as two unpublished plays. At the outbreak of the Second World War, Hill was recalled to SIS with the rank of major. He worked as a trainer in section D (destruction), his students including Kim Philby who wrote later that he was impressed by Jolly George Hill's knowledge of explosives Hill stayed at the training school when it was taken over by the Special Operations Executive (SOE). In 1941, Hill, now a colonel, was chosen to lead a SOE mission to Russia, codenamed Sam. That September, he arrived in Moscow in time for the signing of two agreements between SOE and the Soviet security organization, NKVD. These were designed to co-ordinate propaganda and sabotage in occupied Europe, to avoid acting in each other's spheres of influence, to help each other infiltrate agents into occupied territory, and to decide on targets and priorities. These agreements did not lead to much genuine activity, though Hill did manage to help infiltrate some Soviet agents into occupied Europe, in and operation codenamed Pickaxe. There were more Pickaxe operations in 1942, though the Foreign Offic.…

[Sydney, NSW, 1829]. Manuscript in ink, [3] pp, foolscap folio bifolium; in the hand of a CMS clerk; being duplicate copies of three letters, comprising: 1. Sydney, 17 February 1829. Archdeacon Thomas Hobbes Scott, to the Rev. Richard Hill of the CMS, Sydney; 2. Sydney, 26 August 1829. Rev. Richard Hill, to Archdeacon Thomas Hobbes Scott, Sydney; 3. Van Diemen's Land, Government House, 24 October 1829. Lieutenant-Governor George Arthur, to Archdeacon William Grant Broughton, Sydney; complete and fine. Official CMS duplicate copies of three items of correspondence relating to the reimbursement of theChurch Missionary Society by the Government of Van Diemen's Land for the outward passage from England to Australia paid for CMS missionary Rev. James Norman and his family (who had arrived in February 1827) on the basis that Norman has been working as a chaplain at the Port Arthur penal establishment. In the final letter, Lieutenant-Governor Arthur writes to the CMS secretary in Sydney, Rev. Richard Hill, confirming that he has recommended to the Secretary of State for the Colonies that a payment of £125 be paid to the Society. Essex-born James Norman, a builder by trade, was ordained as a missionary with the CMS in 1820. He was quickly posted to Sierra Leone, where he was appointed as a schoolmaster and building superintendent for the West African Mission. In Sierra Leone, he and his wife Judith suffered constant ill-health, and the couple lost their young child. As a consequence, the Society despatched the Normans, along with fellow West African missionary James Lisk and his wife, to Australasia. The Normans and the Lisks arrived in Sydney as passengers on the convict ship Midas, on 12 February 1827. It was originally intended that both couples would proceed in due course to New Zealand, with its milder climate, in order to join Marsden's mission amongst the M?ori. By 1830, however, poor health would force the Lisks to return to England; while Judith Norman died in Hobart Town. Rev. Norman stayed on in Tasmania, where he was to become one of the colony's longest-serving and most respected clergymen. Early on he was made temporary chaplain of St. John?s Church, Launceston; he then served at New Town, before being given the permanent chaplaincy of Sorell in 1832. He died in Hobart in 1868. An important glossary of Palawa words collected by Norman at Port Sorell was published posthumously as Aborigines of Tasmania : the Norman vocabulary, by the Royal Society of Tasmania in 1910. Note on Thomas Hobbes Scott (1783-1860) and the Swan River Colony: Within a matter of months of this correspondence Thomas Hobbes Scott would become - purely by chance - the first ordained minister in the Swan River Colony when he was marooned at the new settlement after his ship, HMS Success, struck a reef off Fremantle. He built a temporary church and held the Colony's first services, before the arrival at Swan River of the official colonial chaplain,John Wittenoom. Provenance: Private collection, Australia; ex Maggs Bros., London, c.1978; ex Webster Collection, but without collection stamp. Kenneth Athol Webster (1906-1967) was a New Zealand-born dealer and collector in manuscripts, books, paintings and ethnographic artefacts relating to the Pacific. In the two decades after World War Two he built one of the largest and most important collections of this type of material ever assembled.…
