British military officer and statesman (1850–1916) who served as Victoria’s aide-de-camp in the Sudan, commanded the British forces during the Boer War, and was appointed secretary of state for war at the outbreak of World War I. Kitchener and more than 600 others were killed when his vessel, the HMS Hampshire, hit a mine and sank west of the Orkney Islands on June 5, 1916. ALS signed “Kitchener,” one page, 4 x 6, personal letterhead, July 4. Short letter to “Frank.” In part: “Thanks for the photos they are very interesting. I should like the photo you mention very much.” In fine condition, with pencil year of “99,” under date, a brush to one word, some light mirroring from folding, and a thin mounting remnant to reverse.
