An album of photos that belonged to an [unidentified] US Marine based in Shanghai in the 1930s. An assemblage of 239 personal photos, plus two larger-format posed group photos of his military unit in uniform and at a formal dinner, together with 68 commercial photos collected at the time around Shanghai, all mounted (removably) at a later date in a Japanese-style album. The personal photos include soldiers at leisure in their barracks, posing with weapons during training, and wearing gas masks for some sort of drill, one with a Military Police Company A, 4th Marines sign dated 1936 in pen on the back, four shots of a small baseball game, and many with friends or family members taken at various locales around the city or on trips to the countryside, including at a Christian church. There are about four pages of photos from a trip upriver, which included a visit to a monument to Frederick Townsend Ward placed by the American Legion. We can see examples of the tense situation in Shanghai at the time, such as people posing next to barbed wire barriers and a sign from 1932 declaring a state of emergency in both English and Chinese. Nine of the photos are from a trip to Guam, depicting soldiers and some sort of a military review in front of an imposing building (the site identifiable because there is a “Guam” banner visible with a magnifying glass)." Also contains some graphic images of people tortured and/or killed. [Descriptive information provided by dealer // JAD2015/5/11]

Pictures taken by a British Army Soldier of the 1st Battalion, Lincolnshire Regiment. In addition to Shanghai and Hong Kong, some views may also have been taken in Wei Hai Wei (then a leased territory under British rule) and in Gibraltar, just before it was commissioned to China. The unidentified soldier saw action in the "Shanghai January 28 Incident" during the Shanghai War of 1932. Photos there are taken from behind a sandbag barrier on a city street, with guns at the ready as the Sino-Japanese dispute unfolds. Also present are photographs of the Hankow barracks at Sham Shui Po, the camp in Kowloon which would later be used as a prison camp by the Japanese invaders in World War II. Also included are images of firing practice, drills, trenching, tent camps, graves of fallen soldiers and Royal marines at the Hong Kong cemetery, and eight sun-toned photographs of the Suez Canal. The life and industry of the local Chinese population is also depicted. [Based on dealer description.]
