“The Crown Prince's Jewels”, by ‘Gwenfil’. Pseudonymous memoir of Philip Ingleson's First World war service with the Royal Fusiliers and as a staff officer with 198th Brigade, and also his periods on leave and events in his personal life including his courtship of his future wife Gwendoline Fulton. The memoir was written in the last years of the war and appears to have been intended for publication: units are usually not identified and personal names have been anonymised. Manuscript annotations, some identifying participants' real names, were added by Ingleson much later. The narrative makes reference to Ypres, Frezenberg Ridge, Passchendaele Ridge, Amiens, Hargicourt, Roisel, Peronne, Courcelles, Fouquaucourt, Cerisy, Harbonnières, the Hindenberg Line, Le Cateau, Landrecies, Sivry, Dinant; training exercises and the arrival of American troops are also described. Ingleson's service in France included time at Cuinchy, Cambrin, St Omer, Nieuport, Poelcappelle, the St Quentin salient, the Hindenburg Line, Le Cateau and the Sambre.
Typescript between card covers, lightly annotated and with insertions, including a manuscript copy of the Inglesons' wedding invitation; formerly bound with two green textile ties.
