An important archive containing approximately 50 items of manuscript and printed ephemera (letters, maps, documents and photographs) pertaining to the military service of Field Marshal William Birdwood (1865-1951), commander of ANZAC at Gallipoli in the Great War, and of his son Christopher Bromhead Birdwood (1899-1962), who acted as the Field Marshal's Aide-de-Camp in France while he was in command of the Australian Corps and 5th Army, and later in India when his father was in command of King Edward's Own Probyn's Horse. Compiled and annotated by Christopher Bromhead Birdwood, the personal memorabilia in this album was collected by both father and son and centres around their service in India. It also features rare photographs of the ANZAC Corps at Gallipoli, a postcard sent by the General Birdwood to his son from the Dardanelles in 1915, and several items which highlight the Birdwoods' connections with Australia. Quarto custom-made portfolio (300 x 240 x 25 mm), red satin hand-stitched over cardstock boards, with integral satin carrying handle, cut-out title window to front, and string-tied cardstock leaves; most leaves detached from string at perforations, otherwise the contents (all carefully mounted onto the album leaves) are in very good condition throughout, with no signs of foxing. Biographical notes: Field Marshal William Riddell Birdwood, 1st Baron Birdwood (1865-1951), was the British commander of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) for most of the Great War.He was in charge of the Gallipoli landings, having beenput in command of the Corps on 25 April 1915. In September he took command of the entire British Dardanelles army, and thus oversaw the evacuation from the peninsula later in the year. On Gallipoli, Birdwood was generally regarded with affection by his troops. After touring Australia to great acclaim in 1920, Birdwood became general officer commanding the Northern Army in India later that year. He was promoted to field marshal (with the corresponding honorary rank in the Australian Military Forces) on 20 March 1925, and, having been appointed a Member of the Executive Council of the Governor-General of India in July 1925, he was made Commander-in-Chief, India, in August 1925. Following his retirement from the service in 1930, Birdwood made a bid to become Governor-General of Australia. However, although he had the backing of the King and the British government, the Australian Prime Minister James Scullin insisted on the appointment of his Australian nominee, Sir Isaac Isaacs. He was raised to the peerage in recognition of his wartime service as Baron Birdwood, of Anzac and of Totnes in the County of Devon, on 25 January 1938. Lord Birdwood died at Hampton Court Palace, where he lived in grace-and-favour apartments, on 17 May 1951. He was buried at Twickenham Cemetery with full military honours. The Australian Government still pays for the upkeep of his grave. He is chiefly remembered as the commander of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) during the Gallipoli Campaign of 1915. Major Honorable Christopher Bromhead Birdwood, 2nd Baron Birdwood, MVO (1899-1962), who compiled the present scrapbook, was Field Marshal Birdwood's son. He was a British hereditary peer, a soldier attached to the Probyn's Horse regiment, and author. He was commissioned as a second lieutenant onto the Unattached List, Indian Army on 21 December 1917. In France, from 10 March 1918 to 28 February 1919, he was Aide-de-Camp to his father, who was the General Officer commanding the Australian Corps and 5th Army. For his service, he was mentioned in Despatches. Some of his British India Medals include: Mahsud 1919-20, Waziristan 1919-21, India General Service 1908-35. CONTENTS OF THE SCRAPBOOK: The ANZAC Regiment, created in 1914, was primarily comprised of troops from the First Australian Imperial Force and First New Zealand Expeditionary Force. It was commanded by Field Marshal General William Birdwood (who had the rank of General at the time of the Regiment's formation). The scrapbook contains the following ephemeral items connected with this regiment, the first of which is the most emotionally charged item in the album - and, at least from an Australian perspective, the most symbolic: Official field postcard from General Birdwood (who signs himself simply "Daddy") sent from the Dardanelles, dated 18 June 1915, and addressed to his son C. B. Birdwood, 26 College Road, Clifton, Bristol (the card is tipped-in at the top edge, so the reverse can be read); with the printed line 'I am quite well' not crossed out (Birdwood has struck out the other options - that the sender is sick or wounded, or being "sent down to base"). Birdwood also indicates that he has received a letter from home. The top margin recto was annotated by C. B. Birdwood (some years later): 'The Official P.C. from the front'. Greetings from Gallipoli. Australian and New Zealand Army Corps Headquarters 1915-1916. Christmas and New Year greeting card, string-tied, [8] pp, printed silver lettering, with 6 (six) mounted original gelatin silver photographs (approx. 65 x 130 mm) of the ANZAC Corps at Gallipoli in 1915, one of which is annotated by Birdwood as being his own dug-out (shared with General Sir C. C. Munro); the card was issued by the Army for officers' families. Gallipoli. General Sir Wm. R. Birdwood's Message to the "Anzacs". Christmas 1915. Official Christmas card issued by the Australian Commonwealth Military Forces, [4] pp, string-tied, heavy cardstock with gilt edges, with an additional double-leaf colour lithograph illustration at centre "Coo-ee to Australia" by A. H. Fullwood; front with portrait of Birdwood, with Birdwood's printed signature beneath (beside which Christopher has written "A forged signature"); Birdwood's two messages are addressed to the soldiers and officers under him, and to the High Commissioner of Australia. There is also a message from Sir Ian Hamilton to the Prime Minister o.
