24th May Ephemera for Today

[Chris Grimshaw]

We all come across ephemera which slots into our collecting interests,  One such item I show today

A 14 page pamphlet in English "An Address to English Soldiers"  Undated but late 1918 / 1919, published by the Cauasian Regional Commetiee of Russian Communistic party (Bolsheviks)  Bacu

(spelling as printed.)

Aimed at and distributed to the British Troops at Batoum and surrounding areas.   

Very reluctant to scan internally as fragile but will transcribe extracts if anyone interested.  Showed this item to the late Ed Klempka who'd never seen anything like it.

That is a gem, Chris.

Thanks Howard

We'll probably never see another copy.
