Transcription: Left page   P.S., like myself, is very critical  of the Cosgrave opposition - "they are doing all Dev. did," and looking for no common ground, e.g. on external policy. Has mellowed much about Dev. But blames him still for the loss of a great opportunity (re. the North) in 1922. Thinks partition will last 100 years - I say at least 10.   The Ministry leave P.S. much alone. Rather afraid of him!  Right page   Vaster expenditure on arms in Britain. Two hundred warships on the stocks. Hundreds of millions of pounds per year. It's very impressive and is giving more confidence.   But what a pity! They wd make no sacrifice in peace & for peace.   Cardinal Pacelli elected Pope. Not very pleasing to Fascist & Nazi. A great Church diplomat. It was said that Ciano (F.M. in Italy) had spoken against such a  possible choice.

Transcription: Left page   think, & I hope 1916 was  not a disillusionment for him!   P.S. has a short type of face -almost puckish -. Owns about 15,000 books, intolerant of any kind of moral laxity.   J.J. Walsh, another colleague of those days, (he was a P.O. Sorter) is now one of the wealthy men in Dublin. Fought hard to get E. Blythe his job in Paper Mills.    Joe McGrath, a roughish  Dublin Jackeen, for a year or two  first Minister of Economics, is amost a millionaire - through the Sweepstakes - "But not a scrap spoiled by his money and always willing to help an old-timer."  Right page   Sean Ua Muirthuille - old I.R.B & Gaelic Leaguer, & later 1st Chief of the C.I.D. is living comfortably as Cork agent of the "Sweep". (It was he who in 1922 gave me the bottle of terrible poteen which I tried on James McNeill!   Poor James died six or 8 weeks ago).    Dermot MacManus (wounded in the war and in I.R.A. after 1918) a charming fellow, is trying his hand at all kinds of things to add to his income. He bought some years ago a nice property near Granard, but is trying to sell it. P.S. says he has all the spirit of an early 19th century squire.

Transcription: Left page   Bulmer Hobson & Claire came sadly into our talk. Claire has been for years living with Fred Johnston (Tom's son) & Bulmer is "running about" with "a china-faced" young woman. C. also drinking. We concurred in blaming Claire for the debacle unfulfilled ambitions: she thought B. would be Prime Minister.   Bulmer is 'mad' on Social Credit - which is 90% crankism. Asked by P.S.  a year ago if he wd not put the 1914-16 period on paper he said it didn't interest him any more. I can understand it but it's a pity. No  Right page   one has his inside knowledge of that time.   P.S. says that in agreeing to admit Redmondites (nominees to the Volunteer Council in 1914 B. acted against direct orders from the Supreme Council of which he was a member.   I recalled (almost forgotten) that when B. was sent to U.S.A. in Spring of 1914 Tom Clarke & Deakin (a Dublin Protestant chemist long out of politics) asked me to act as a Member of the S.C of the I.R.B in his absence. I agreed but no meeting was held. Tom had a great deal of confidence in me, I

Transcription: Left page   6 March '39 P.S. (Patrick Sarsfield) O'Hegarty, (Secy Dept Posts & Tele) at a Conference in Montreux spent the week-end with us. It's nearly thirty years since we first met. P.S. was in British Postal Service & member of the Supreme Council of the I.R.B. when I joined in 1909 or 1910. Wrote historical and political articles in "Irish Freedom" & "Sinn Fein" under name of "Lucan". A man of brusque manners P.S. is hewn from the rock of pure honesty.   His moral courage (& physical, too) was one of the characteristics of the best of that smallish group  Right page   of what he calls "the years of the Captivity".   As we talked of old days, he remarked on the "fairness" of the English, & recalled how, at his late £10 note in The Irish Book Shop (his war time occupation on leaving the C.S) he received a cheque for  £40 odd - due as salary on some retroactive decision.   Of Germany - (we wd both have been classed as "pro-German" during the war) he said that if Hitler launched Europe again into war he wd be beaten & every old tiny German State reconstructed with a garrison to see to it!

Description: Ratne bojne dopisnice (Feldpost) bile su najfunkcionalnije sredstvo komuniciranja vojnika sa porodicom tokom Prvog svjetskog rata. Većinom su bile cenzurisane i na njima se nalazio pečat vojne cenzure, regimentalni pečat i pečat vojne pošte. Na velikom broju dopisnica nalazila su se sva tri pečata, međutim, nerijetko se nalazio samo jedan ili dva. Poznato je da su vojnici bili strogo kažnjavani ukoliko su svjesno pisali bilo šta što otkriva vojne tajne. Pisati su mogli samo vojnici. Sve što bi napisali davalo bi se vojnom cenzoru da to pregleda i tek kad on odobri moglo se poslati porodici. Čitajući pisma, može se uvidjeti da su ona poprilično štura, te da su dobro pazili o svemu šta je napisano, upravo iz razloga da bi izbjegli probleme sa nadređenim. Feldpost sistem Austro-ugarske Monarhije, omogućavao je vojnicima da komuniciraju sa svojim najbližima. Sačuvane razglednice i pisma pružaju lični pogled na to kako su pojedini vojnici doživljavali sukobe. || Devet bojnih dopisnica (Feldpost)

Description: Este un volum de jurnal din cele trei deţinute de Biblioteca Judeţeană Octavian Goga Cluj. || Dumitru Nistor, ţăran din satul Năsăud s-a născut în 1893. Visând din copilărie să călătorească şi să vadă ţări străine, în 1912, când vine vremea “număraşului” (recrutării) el cere să fie primit nu în miliţia ardeleană, unde erau recrutaţi de obicei românii, ci în marina austro-ungară. Terminând şcoala de marină, după o călătorie la Viena, este îmbarcat ca Geschützvormeister (“primul îndreptător de tun”) pe vasul SMS Kaiserin Elisabeth, cu destinaţia Asia. Prins de război în Marea Chinei, crucişătorul Kaiserin Elisabeth participă la câteva bătălii navale, pentru ca în 2 noiembrie 1914 să se hotărască scufundarea lui. Echipajul pierde şi lupta terestră, este luat prizonier de japonezi şi transportat în arhipelagul nipon. Timp de zece luni, ţăranul-marinar din Năsăud va fi prizonier într-o mănăstirea buddhistă din Himeji, iar apoi mutat într-un lagăr, construit special pentru prizonierii germani şi austrieci, la Aonogahara, nu departe de Kobe, unde va rămâne până la sfârşitul anului 1919.
