Description:
1950. Approximately 250 vernacular snap shots of American military life in Korea, mostly infantry divisions, during the Cold War period in which the Soviet trained North Korean army invaded South Korea. There are many snap shot portraits of individual soldiers (including one of Korean troops), a few with a caption on verso, as well as daily life on the base, military material (tanks, airplanes), artillery practice, and local landscapes and towns. Specific sites pictured include the Camp Walker post exchange, Second Infantry Division NCO Academy, and a sign post in town showing the way to the Taegu Military post. The album closes with shots of the troops on their way home from Korea, stopping in Japan.

Description:
London: John Murray, 1924. First edition. Hardcover. Good + overall. The authors own story of military life during W.W.I, as prisoner of war and his subsequent escape, with his signed presentation to Richard Coke. Edward Keeling, 1883-1954, was an officer in the Indian Army Reserve during the First World War, during which time he was captured by Ottoman forces and his description of an Anatolian prisoner of war camp is brisk and stark, and there is a postscript in which he denounces British refusal to prosecute those responsible for the mistreatment of prisoners. He escaped, eventually ending up in Bolshevik Russia before serving in Egypt and Kurdistan. His later life was considerably more tranquil, and he died as Member of Parliament for leafy Twickenham.
