A unusual, interesting, and potentially important group of United States Korean War Prisoner of War items, once belonging to 0-1308131 Major, later Lt-Col Harry Fleming of the United States Infantry. To include: a green military knapsack with shoulder strap, which contains a green enamelware mug with Chinese characters to base, a Chinese tin containing a type of grease, an empty American Red Cross razor box, an American Red Cross drawstring bag (with red ink stamps), 2 x handkerchiefs with one having an ink stamp that reads ‘Harry Fleming 01308131 Captain Infantry’ and the other with a faint Chinese character ink stamp, 2 metal dog tags stamped to ‘Fleming,Harry 01308131 T44-45 O No Pref’, 2 tie on paper labels, one named to ‘Fleming Harry 0-1308131’ with an ink stamp for ‘AG Casualty EUSAK’ (Eight United States Army Korea). Plus, what appears to be a Chinese labourers style thin cloth cap, with faint inked issue mark to to the inside, and a crudely embroidered letter ‘F’ to the front (possibly for Fleming?). Notes: Major, later Lt-Col Harry Fleming holds the dubious distinction of being the first ever United States officer that faced a Court Martial for collaboration with his Chinese captors. Fleming joined the army as private in 1942, with his dog tags showing that he received a tetanus injection in 1944-45. He deployed in Korea in 1950, spending 50 days in combat, and 34 mon ths in captivity (which is when he would have received his Red Cross parcels). Fleming would appear to have taken on the role as camp leader, mainly because he maintained a friendly relationship with his captors. He is alleged to have made Red Propaganda recordings, and led Marxist Study Groups. Fleming was held prisoner until September 4th 1953. Upon his return to the United States, he faced a Court Martial at Fort Sheridan, where he denied aiding and collaborating with the enemy on 7 occasions. Addressing his accusers, Fleming said; None of my accusers ever had the guts enough to meet me face to face until now’. ’What I did, I did for the camp. Many of those came alive, as well as some of my accusers, would be buried in a Korean hillside except for some of the policies I went through with. I can definitely show through witnesses, that their lives were saved’. Lt-Col Fleming’s defence would argue that the decisions that he made were under extreme duress, and with threats of death. Fleming was eventually convicted, and would go on to make a failed appeal against his conviction in 1957, after which he left the army. A very interesting, and scare group of POW items, and worthy of much more research. Condition: generally good. Some service and age related wear to some pieces. One of the handkerchiefs has some holes in it, possibly from moths (non active now). The enamelled finish to the mug is chipped a little, as is quite normal with these types of wares. The Chinese cap haas some discolouration / fading, but is nevertheless intact.

Arthur WRAGG (1903-1976) Political Anti-War Propaganda illustration Pen and ink on paper mounted onto card with white corrections, graphite annotations, signed, 27cm x 41cm.Frederick Roberts Johnson and Arthur Wragg, two friends who met whilst training to become commercial artists, moved together to Polperro in 1924, staying at 'The House on the Props'. They had somewhat contrasting styles which somehow sometimes overlapped; Wragg's style was likened to David Low and Victor 'Vicky Weisz, sharing within his lifetime the same respect and public interest as the two aforementioned. His work was also regularly compared to that of Aubrey Beardsley, though Wragg's own heroes were Cruickshank, Albrecht Durer and William Blake, the latter being someone he was also compared to within his lifetime. Wragg's first book was hugely successful, having to be reprinted three times in one year and it became Book of The Year in America.Frederick Roberts Johnson was a very succesful commercial artist and was often the one who usually went to London in search of commissions for the pair. He often used the name 'Essex' or 'Sax', drawing funnies for Punch, Everyman magazine and Tribune, as well as advertisements for Lyons Tea Shops and producing dustjacket book illustrations for various authors. His style was more varied and experimental, with impressionism, cubism and abstract examples of his work within the sale.
