[Churchill, Winston S.]. A small archive of photographs, letters and news cuttings belonging to Henry C. Shelley, 1899-1900, comprising: 8 photographs, all annotated on verso, some taken on board RMS Dunottar Castle, including 1 of Winston Churchill, 1 of General Buller, and 2 of Edgar Wallace (1 inscribed in pencil on verso 'Mr Edgar Wallace, Reuters, Author of a Kimberley poem published in the Cape Argus. The Editor sent 1,000 copies for distribution among the troops'); 3 items of shipboard printed ephemera, comprising a 4pp. List of Passengers, listing 'Mr. Winston Churchill and valet', split at hinge and annotated with ink crosses by a number of the names, 'The Dunottar Record', October 28, 1899, 8pp., and a 'Programme of Athletic Sports', October 25 & 26, 1899, 4pp., including such races as 'Chalking the Pig's Eye (Ladies)' and 'Bolster Fight'; 5 autograph letters signed from Harry Shelley to his wife Carrie, 1 on Dunottar Castle headed paper, describing battle scenes, climate and topography, the price of food and laundry, photographs taken and articles written, etc., 1 mentioning Rudyard Kipling's arrival, and another referring to Winston Churchill; a 4pp. 'Prospectus of Lectures by Henry C. Shelley War Correspondent', edge-frayed; and a small quantity of associated newspaper and periodical cuttings, e.g. for The Westminster Budget, and The King, various sizesQty: (1)Footnote: Henry C. Shelley, war correspondent, photographer and lecturer, spent eight months with the British Army in South Africa at the beginning of the Boer War between 1899 and 1900. As his Prospectus of Lectures states, "his experiences embrace actual knowledge and personal eyesight of all the chief events of the War on the Western side", going on to say "he was the only Correspondent who was allowed to make an ascent in the War Balloon, and, during the halt at Bloemfontein, he was accorded special privileges by Lord Roberts to enable him to secure the only pictures in existence of many historic incidents transpiring in that town". Harry, as he was known, travelling on RMS Dunottar Castle in October 1899, came to know another young war correspondent of the time, a certain Winston Churchill, with whom it seems he was less than impressed, writing in one of the endearing letters to his wife, Carrie, that one of the men in his cabin was "a perfect gentleman & a right good fellow, but the other (Churchill) is nothing but a cad", adding "when we get up to the front with the other press men it is likely he will have a rough time". By contrast, Shelley found Rudyard Kipling, whom he also met, "exceedingly pleasant ...full of high spirits".

Ivelaw-Chapman was born in British Guiana and came to England in 1903. He was educated at Cheltenham College, before joining the Royal Flying Corps in 1917 where he served as a Bristol Fighter pilot over the Western Front with 10 Squadron. By WWII Ivelaw-Chapman had advanced to Wing Commander and was part of the operations staff at RAF Bomber Command headquarter, by June 1940 he was promoted to Group Captain and appointed station commander at RAF Linton-on-Ouse. In 1941 he returned to a staff job at the Air Ministry involved in D-Day planning. On the night of 6/7 May 1943 Ivelaw-Chapman was flying a second pilot of a 576 Squadron Lancaster on a mission to bomb an ammunition dump at Aubigne, France. His aircraft was shot down by a night fighter and Ivelaw-Chapman went on the run. Churchill ordered the French resistance to do all they could to help him return to England and he was to be killed if he was in danger of being capture by the Germans because of his experience and extensive knowledge. Ivelaw-Chapman was captured by the Gestapo on 8 June 1944 but the Germans failed to realise his seniority and importance and treated him as an ordinary prisoner of war. He was released by the Americans on 16 April 1945. Post-War service saw Ivelaw-Chapman promoted to Air Marshal and seconded to the Indian Government. Having left India in 1922 as a Flying Officer, he returned as the Commander and Chief of the newly independent nation's Air Force and was the penultimate officer to hold the post.
