A good collection of signed and printed items by twentieth century by military leaders or with military content, offered with four fine content printed proclamations and a superb typescript account of the 1942-43 Battle of Buna-Gona. The condition of 11 items in this group varies from good to very good condition. A nice assemblage!

Westmoreland regarding a parachutist?s injury; a fine content autograph letter signed of Cordell Hull introducing Lieutenant Basil Heather, a member of the OSS who worked in both the European and Pacific Theaters during World War II, worthy of further research; a World War II-date typed letter signed of John D. Bulkeley sending an autograph; and a World War II-date autograph letter signed of Sotero Cabahug, a Filipino Judge before the Japanese occupation who later was jurist in the post-war Court of Appeals.

This lot also includes a copy of a 5pp. unsigned typed transcript by Colonal A. J. McNab, answering a correspondent?s questions about the Buna Campaign, Apr. 18, 1950.
