title: Model tank and old suitcase (6)

description: The photographs of tank are from a model made by a German POW and presented to my Grandfather as a present. Captain Thomas J. Costello MC of the Royal Artillery Medical Corps was stationed at Trouville No.4, Convalescent Department in the South of France in 1919 where he was given the model tank.

Also enclosed are pictures of his suitcase made for him with his monograph in Manchester around 1918.

Thomas Joseph Costello. Born June 10th 1890 died at 55 years of age, March 1945. Born in Dublin to John Costello and Rose Callaghan. Probably educated like his brother John Aloysius (Taoiseach) in O'Connell Schools, Richmond street by the Christian brothers.

From co. Clare Barefield. Married June 8th 1917. Captain in Royal Army Medical core Artillery E.Lancs regiment.

Awarded the Military Cross for riding out into No Mans Land to administer to wounded. He was gassed which was probably the reason for early death.

title: Notebook of Private Arthur Snape of the 1/8th Lancs Fusiliers, including notes on training, poems, and diary (82)

description: A notebook kept by Private Arthur Snape of the 1/8th Lancashire Fusiliers, A Company, 42nd East Lancashire Division, believed to have been a sniper. The notebook contains a variety of material, including accounts of Snape's own movements and the operations he was involved in. He took part in the Dardanelles campaign in 1915, was in Malta later in 1915, then Egypt 1916-17, and finally France in 1917. The notebook also includes references to Gallipoli, Suvla Bay, and Anzac.

Snape's account is in multiple sections throughout the notebook, but each is a continuous narrative, suggesting it may have been written as a retrospective memoir rather than a diary kept day by day. The longest section occupies most of the second half of the book: it begins with Snape's enlistment on 27th May 1915, and ends with his division leaving Egypt for France on 3rd March[?] 1917. There are also notes on training courses (subjects covered include sniping, orders for a camp guard, and bombing), details of the Dardanelles losses up to December 11th 1915, a list of payments, and two poems, one beginning "Here is a story of which a soldier tells / Who was in that famous landing / on the shores of the Dardanelles", and the other entitled "Empire".

title: Trench art: decorated shell case (3)

description: A decorated shell case, which held pokers and tongs for the fire in the house of Walter Powell. Markings on the base of the case include: 'APR | 1916' (manufactured April 1916); 'Sp235' (An inspection mark from Karlsruhe: Sp=Spandau); '18';  'Patronen Fabrick | Karlsruhe' (The manufacturer). On the primer: 'Fried Krupp A.G.' (the manufacturer); '12'. The case itself belongs to the German 7.5 cm Feld Kanone. 

Although Walter served in France with an anti-aircraft battery the family believe that this was actually purchased from a friend in Mid-Wales. The decoration is Middle Eastern, and it was probably purchased from Shiek Audi's Jerusalem Oriental Bazaar, Station Crescent, Llandrindod Wells, Radnorshire, (now Powys). According to local historians Audi spent between March and October of every year in business at Llandrindod before returning to his native home in the winter months. He was taken ill and died in February 1919 in Llandrindod. 

Part of a collection relating to Walter H. Powell, Llandrindod Wells, (private / driver M2-267205 Mechanised Transport Army Service Corps). Born 1898, Walter tried to join up under-age on a number of occasions, finally succeeding in 1916. He served many months - (more than 2 years?) - in different army units in Britain, before going over to France. He served as a despatch rider for an anti-aircraft battery in 1918-1919. Walter was gassed "suffering the effects all his life". He was a founder member of Toc-H in Llandrindod, and a keen footballer - he died in 1994 aged 96. However Walter's older brothers (Cliff and Percy Powell) and his uncle (Humphrey Powell) died of wounds sustained during the war.
