See Armstrong's entry in the Oxford DNB. For Gauntlett, who was Professor of Cello at the RAM from 1947 to 1965, see the Times obituary by Sir Anthony Lewis, and the excellent article on the 'Semibrevity' blog: 'Ambrose Gauntlett, forgotten gamba player and continuo cellist', beginning: "Although Ambrose Gauntlett (1889-1978) spent most of his career as a full-time orchestral principal, he was the most sought-after continuo cellist and gamba player in the UK for many years." The musicologist Professor Hans van Dijk describes Gauntlett as 'A very great gambaplayer indeed!' Addressed to 'Dear Amrbose' and signed 'T. A.' He thanks him 'very much indeed for your kindness in sending me this helpful book about bread-making, which I am glad to have. It will help me a lot. I can now generally turn out a fairly reliable and palatable loaf, but my repertory is severly limited, and I daresay I shall have some pun in trying to extend it by attempting some of these more exotic recipes.'.

In his obituary, published in The Times, Sir Anthony Lewis mentions "his beautiful playing of the important 18th-century viola da gamba obbligato roles".' Commenting on the article, the musicologist Professor Hans van Dijk describes Gauntlett as 'A very great gambaplayer indeed!' 1p, foolscap 8vo. Signed 'T. Armstrong'. Letterhead with RAM coat of arms in red. Creased and with closed tears at head and foot neatly repaired with archival tape. Begins: 'Dear Ambrose, / I am writing to request you to continue your work in the Royal Academy of Music during the Academic Year, 1964/5, up to the end of the Summer Term in 1965. / I very much regret that the present occasion is the last on which I shall be able to renew this invitation, but I am afraid that you have now reached the age at which a further extension is no longer possible. I know how devoted your services to the Royal Academy of Music have been since you first entered it in 1910, and you will be very much missed by all your pupils and colleagues and by myself personally. When an opportunity occurs, I shall hope to express our thanks personally.' He ends in the hope that there will be 'opportunities for you to assist us in various directions even when you have ceased to be a regular member of the professorial staff'.

The six items (including Item Four, a typescript of Item Three) are in very good condition, on lightly-aged paper. Aubrey's six poems, all apparently unpublished, are written in an effective Kiplingesque style, with occasional minor corrections to the text by him. ONE: Titled 'The Yellow Peril. Dedicated to the German Emperor'. In autograph, and signed 'H W Aubrey | May 21/04'. 5pp., 4to. Thirteen six-line stanzas. First stanza: 'Soldier of Christ on thy watch-house Tower, | Look far to the shrouded East! | Mine eyes are dark with the darkening hour, | Tell to me what thou see'st. | "I see a cloud like a man's right hand | Its shadow falls o'er The Eastern Land."' TWO: 'A Mess Waiter. [sub-titled in autograph 'RAMC Barracks Delhi Tidworth'). Typed. Signed 'HWA Feb 8/18'. 1p., foolscap 8vo. 36 lines in nine four-line stanzas. First stanza: 'I'll sing a panegyric on a waiter of the mess. | He's earned the title given him - Well! rather more than less. | You'll be as near the mark to put the cart before the horse, | The "Mess" before the waiter. But that is rude, of course.' THREE: Untitled autograph poem on 'Brimstone Bottom'. Signed 'HWA | Feb. 20/18'. On Tidworth letterhead. 2pp., 8vo. Forty-eight lines, in six eight-line stanzas. First stanza: 'I've travelled North, I've travelled South | I've travelled the East and West, | Peered down the belching crater's mouth, | And dared the great Sahara's drouth. | The rigors of malarial pest | In Afric's swamps have wracked my breast. | Whate'er these ills - Be sure it's got ''em | That damnèd spot called Brimstone Bottom.' FOUR: Typed version of Item Three. Signed in type 'HWA, | Feb 20th 18.' 1p., foolscap 8vo. FIVE: 'A Delhi Mess Drinking Song.' Mimeographed typescript. Signed in type 'H.WA | Mar. 2/18.' Forty lines in seven stanzas. First stanza: 'Come! Pass around the stately Port | But, snakes alive, don't swill it. | They'll find you, if you swallow aught, | Some Brimstone Bottom billet.' SIX: 'Arma Virumque Cano | (Stirring appeal to the Delhi Mess by Capt Jones, O.C. Digging).' [subtitled in autograph 'Transln. "Of Jones & his Tools I sing"'. Typed. 32 lines, arranged in eight four-line stanzas, with the first stanza repeated after each successive one as a chorus. First stanza: 'Dig! Brothers! Dig! Our food is running low, | Your Country calls on you to dig. Yes! Calls you to a man, | Dig! Brothers! Thus your Patriotism show, | By taters only we escape the Hun's eternal ban.'.
