Military Leaflets

Mast, Lightweight Type SP 48 User Handbook

A great original booklet with superb illustrations on almost every page. Some creasing to inside pages with a small tear on the front cover. Not seen this handbook before. A must for all those with one of these masts.

MTP 39 Carrier Platoon 1940

Dated May 1940, this Military Training Pamphlet covers the Organisation and Characteristics of the Carrier Platoon. Almost unissued condition it contains information into the Carrier Platoon make-up, Carrier Signals and Drill. A great booklet for those with carriers!

MTP 46 Vehicle Camouflage

This is a Military Training Pamphlet dealing with the camouflage of wheeled and tracked vehicles. Dated 1941 it is full of black and white illustrations showing camouflage techniques using natural cover as well as camouflage nets etc. A very informative booklet for those interested in hiding!

Water Tank Truck/Trailer bookLET

A War Office Booklet dated 1942 covering the instructions for using the Water Tank Truck and Water Tank Trailer including the Portable Filtering Apparatus. Contains 13 photographs/illustrations. This is a rare booklet.

Medical Manual of Chemical Warfare

A very good hardback medical book dated 1939 with lots of colour plates showing the effects of various gases on the human body. Very interesting, if not disturbing, reading. Deals with treatments and setting up a decontamination centre. A collectors item.

1940 Ford De Luxe Handbook

This is the Ford V8 small reference book that goes in your glovebox of the De Luxe Car . Plenty of photographs and diagrams. Water damage to corner (blue tint on photo) of most pages.

1936-39 Fordson Trucks Parts List

This Spare Parts List Booklet covers the 1936-39 Fordson Trucks and includes the Sussex and Surrey. Printed in 1946 it has a stamp in the front cover that states “received 26 Nov 1948 Engineer’s Dept Automobile Association…”. List covers all parts including Cab. Very useful booklet in great condition.

Royal Scots Dragoon Guards Transfer Sheet

This is a large transfer sheet made by the army for the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards. Image just shows part of sign, it is in fact the whole sign which could be removed from its backing and stuck to a display board etc. Some of image lifting but not too drastic. All the transfer image intact with no cracking.

Only small part shown in picture.

Battle of Britain Sheet Music

This is sheet music from the Musical Picture of “The Battle of Britain”. The score is clear of any marks, only the front cover has my mother’s name on and the stamp of the shop where it was bought. My mother played piano for the troops on R&R in Durban, South Africa so I can only presume she played this out there at that time.

El Alamein Sheet Music

Another of my mother’s sheet music, The Theme from the Alamein Concerto which is dedicated to the men who fought and the men who died at El Alamein in 1942. Scores are all clear and as before only the cover bears my mother’s name and the music salon stamp in Maritzburg, South Africa.

Dam Busters Sheet Music

Again from my mother’s collection but this time bought in this country much later. The Dam Busters film score was arranged by Eric Coates, and this cover carries the names of the actors and actresses.
