Postage will be by cheapest and most practical means possible unless otherwise requested. (In Australia, Express Post is World War 2 1939-1945 19 the quickest and carefully handled by Australia Post. Express Post has increased to $17 for a 3kg satchel (this includes everything OVER 500gms and under 3kg). So if you want it quick use Express—bit slower is the 3kg red satchel - $15 which includes post pack and TLC). Our terms for first-time buyers are ‘payment up front’. Established buyers can pay by credit card, cheque, money order etc on receipt of an invoice. October 2020 sees us with Catalogue #235, a big one, nearly 300 titles! I expect many of these titles will walk out the door. Most are one offs and we’ll have little chance of seeing them again (can be years as the good collectible titles are secreted away in personal libraries and will only see the light of day once they’ve left us). Amongst the interesting books this month are #86, The Campaign in Bohemia 1866; #90, The Leipzig Campaign 1813 and #99, The Russo-Japanese War 1904. These are quite obscure titles about obscure wars but...each of them comes with a complete set of maps! It’s quite an unusual find and someone out there is going to want them all. The book on Teddy Sheean #142—Honour Denied— Teddy Sheean, a Tasmanian Hero ironically finds its way into the list only a few weeks after his Victoria Cross was approved by the Queen. Why it’s taken so long for this young bloke (18) to be thus recognised is shameful. I think there is a marked level of panic at the higher echelons when the full realization of recommending a VC to HM is upon them. What if we now get a deluge of people putting people up from the Boer War to present day they ask? My view is.. SO? If someone fulfills the criteria for the award then so be it. The dismal situation between VC and MID is that they are the only two awards that can be issued posthumously. If they want to get serious and establish a system not reliant on the Queen’s rules then allow ALL gallantry awards to be issued posthumously. For the life of me I can’t believe this hasn’t been done before this. I’m no republican but I do think we need to stand on our own two feet when it comes to honours and awards. We got rid of the Privy Council didn’t we? We even call modern-day VCs ‘The Victoria Cross of Australia’. I’m sure HM would agree to this? And we could then award Simpson (of donkey fame at Gallipoli) a Distinguished Conduct Medal. There are bound to be many more out there who should be honoured and weren't. And it’s such a gulf between the VC and a mere mention in the commanders correspondence wouldn’t you think? The lockdown continues unabated especially in Victoria. Here in WA I consider we’ve been more grown up in our reaction to the rules. Mark McGowan here has been very responsible in his attitude to the economy and health. The WA economy has gone gang-busters here under the iron ore mining of Gina and Twiggy. Even the city seems to be coming back to life. Jo’s been working flat out upstairs in her office, having face-to-face as well as zoom meetings etc. My office downstairs is the heart of the book room and it keeps me occupied most days. Her distractions include knitting scarves and doing 1000 piece puzzles. I’m plowing through Joyce’s ULYSSES late at night along with writing my autobiography titled HAIL MARY, THE CREEKS UP. Should be finished by 2030. I’ve written 30,000 words so far and I’m only up to 1st year high school. I predict it will take around 150,000 words to do justice to what can be described as a very full life. As usual this catalogue is dedicated to ex servicemen and currently serving first responders and other front line heroes. Keep safe everyone, Via con Dios Mick & Jo 3 Aviation 235/1.

  • Waldemar Nods

    Waldemar Nods Waldemar Nods was a black grandson of a slave from Suriname, who moved to the Netherlands in 1927, aged 19. He had a son – Waldy – with his Dutch wife – Rika – and together they hid Jews from the Nazis during the German occupation. They were caught and deported to concentration camps in Germany. The story of my parents, which seemed to have been forgotten with time, is now told and I am grateful for that. Waldy Nods, Waldemar’s son Waldemar Nods was born on 1 September 1908 in Paramaribo, Suriname (a Dutch colony in South America), the son of a gold prospector and the grandson of a slave. He left Suriname to study in the Netherlands, arriving in The Hague in 1927, but found it hard to establish a career due to widespread prejudice towards his dark skin. In October 1928, Waldemar met Rika van der Lans: white, twice his age and already married with four children. When they began their relationship, it caused a scandal. Rika had already upset her Catholic parents by marrying a Protestant, Willem Hagenaar, in 1913. But by the time she met Waldemar, the marriage had broken down. She had left Willem and taken their children with her to live in The Hague, where she supported them by renting out rooms, which is how she met Waldemar. hmd.org.uk Waldemar and Rika soon fell in love and their relationship was healthy and strong, in spite of the social ridicule to which it exposed them. Two of Rika’s children - Willem, 13, and Jan, seven - felt betrayed by the relationship and returned to their father.
