  • 2Nd INFANTRY REGIMENT
    2nd INFANTRY REGIMENT 1110 pages (approximate) Boxes 1243-1244 The 2nd Infantry Regiment was a component part of the 5th Infantry Division. This Division was activated in 1939 but did not enter combat until it landed on Utah Beach, Normandy, three days after D-Day. For the remainder of the war in Europe the Division participated in numerous operations and engagements of the Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Ardennes-Alsace and Central Europe campaigns. The records of the 2nd Infantry Regiment consist mostly of after action reports and journals which provide detailed accounts of the operations of the Regiment from July 1944 to May 1945. The records also contain correspondence on the early history of the Regiment prior to World War II and to its training activities in the United States prior to entering combat. Of particular importance is a file on the work of the Regiment while serving on occupation duty in Iceland in 1942.

    FIRST EDITION GATT BIBLIOGRAPHY- 1947 - 1953 The text of the GATT Selected GATT publications A chronological list of references to the GATT GATT Secretariat Palais des Nations Geneva Switzerland March 1954 MGT/7/54 GATT BIBLIOGRAPHY This bibliography is a list of books, pamphlets, articles in periodicals, newspaper reports and editorials, and miscellaneous items including texts of lectures, which refer to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. It covers a period of approximately seven years. For six of these years - from the beginning of 1948 - the GATT has been in operation. The purpose of the list is a practical one: to provide sources of reference for historians, researchers and students. The list, it must be emphasized, is limited to the formation and operation of the GATT; for masons *f length, the history of the Havana Charter and its preparation and references to the proposed International Trade Organization,'which has not been brought into being, have been somewhat rigidly excluded, while emphasis has been put on references that show the operational aspects of the GATT. The bibliography is divided into the following sections: 1. • the text' of the GATT and governmental publications; 2. selected GATT publications; (the full list of GATT publications is .obtainable from the secretariat on request) 3. a chronological listing of references to the GATT. This has been subdivided into the following periods, the references being listed alphabetically in each period: 1947 including the Geneva tariff negotiations (April- August), and the completion of the GATT 1948 including the first two sessions of the GATT (March at Havana, and August-September at Geneva) 1949 ,...

  • Reflections on the Transfer of Power and Jawaharlal Nehru Admiral of the Fleet the Earl Mountbatten of Burma KG PC GCB OM GCSI GCIE GCVO DSO FRS
    Reflections on the Transfer of Power and Jawaharlal Nehru Admiral of the Fleet The Earl Mountbatten of Burma KG PC GCB OM GCSI GCIE GCVO DSO FRS Trinity College, University of Cambridge - 14th November 1968. This is the second Nehru Memorial Lecture. At the suggestion of the former President of India the first was given, most appropriately, by the Master of Jawaharlal Nehru’s old College, Trinity. Lord Butler was born in India, the son of a most distinguished member of the Indian Civil Service, who was one of the most successful Governors. As Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for India he was one of those responsible for the truly remarkable 1935 Government of India Act, the Act which I used to speed up the transfer of power. Thus Lord Butler’ ties with India are strong and it not surprising that he gave such an excellent lecture, which has set such a high standard. He dealt faithfully with the life and career of Jawaharlal Nehru from his birth seventy-nine years ago this very day up to 1947. My fellow trustees of the Nehru Memorial Trust have persuaded me to deliver the second lecture. This seemed the occasion to give a connected narrative of the events leading up to the transfer of power in August 1947, and indeed to continue up to June 1948, when I ceased to be India’s first Constitutional Governor-General. It would have been nice to show how Nehru fitted into these events, but in the time available such a task soon proved to be out of the question, so I have deliberately confined myself to recalling the highlights of my Viceroyalty and to assessing Nehru’s relations to the principal men and events at the time, and to general reminiscences of him to illustrate the part he played up to the actual transfer of power.
