Two very interesting unpublished documents, the first giving an assessment of Churchill by a colleague who worked closely with him throughout the Second World War, and the second describing the important part that individual himself played in the logistical management of the war, from before Dunkirk to after D-Day. This material is from Sir Noel Galway Holmes's private papers, another batch of which, comprising confidential reports on him, recommendations by superior officers, and particulars of his service, is offered separately. Considering Holmes's central position in Churchill's war entourage, and his pivotal role in the logistical management of the Second World War (as described in Item Two below), it is unaccountable that he should not have been accorded a proper biographical account, other than an obituary in the Daily Telegraph, 29 December 1982, and entry in Who Was Who. His career was highly distinguished, as his decorations suggest. He joined the army in 1910, served in France during the First World War, and in India between the wars. During the Second World War he was Deputy-Quarter-Master-General (Movements) at the War Office, in which capacity he attended most of the allied conferences, including Yalta and Potsdam. (See the quotation he gives from Sir R. M. Weeks regarding his wartime work at Item Three below) At the end of the war he spent a few months as commander of Aldershot before retiring from the army in 1946. The three items here are in fair condition, with light signs of age and wear, but clear and complete. ONE: Autograph rough draft of notes towards an autobiographical account, largely concerned with NGH's relationship with Churchill. 6pp, 12mo. On six leaves, stapled together, with first three leaves numbered 1-3. In good condition, lightly aged, with pin holes at top left of the six leaves, and speck of rust spotting to the first leaf. A few deletions and emendations. Begins: 'War Office Aug 39 as D[irector] of M[ovement]' | later D Aug (M) until 1946. A longer spell than any Reg officer / Responsible for all movement men & material by Land sea & road / Attended Conferences abroad as advisor to C of Staff on movement matters. No use arranging for battles if there were not the movement facilities to get the chaps & stores there & be able to maintain them. / Personal shipping lazy dry cargo shipping very short'. A dated list of a few of the conferences he attended follows, and written near it in the margin: 'Not many of the more senior officers alive today who attended these conferences'. This is followed by the meat of the document: 'Roosevelt [corrected from 'Rosefelt'] died after Yalta & Truman attended Potsdam. / Joe [i.e. Stalin] made great efforts to pall up to Winston as Truman was new: at these various conferences I had the good fortune to meet the Head Statesmen of the countries concerned & I naturally came into contact with W. S. [i.e. Churchill] both in London & at the conferences. / By His courage fortitude determination energy charm & thoughtfullness [sic] he instilled confidence into all those who worked with or near him. He never seemed to think of failure not even at Dunkirk. He never liked no for an answer & I had experience of this at Chequers. He had a conference in Oct '42. [in margin '8 Nov 42'] to try & advance the landing in N aftrica so as not to interfere with Ranadan [sic] - Allan Brooke Ike - Clarke Beath Smyth Eden & Ismay. I had to say that all arrangements have been made & ships in position & some have left & I said it could not be done - / He naturally did not like the reply but I was glad the Brooke & Ike agreed / This was our first big offensive landing he had me in a month before sail asking details / When the landing in N. Africa had taken place W. S. sent me the following [text not present - presumably to be added later] / Some years after the war W. S. came up to Sheffield for the M. C. Dinner as P. Guest. I was then Chairman of the Yorkshire coal fields. In the P.…
