NEW ZEALAND VICTORIAN MEDAL TO COLOUR SGT. GEORGE LEONARD New Zealand Medal 1869, reverse undated, to 2267 Colour Sergeant George Leonard, 68th (Durham Light Infantry) Regiment of Foot. Correctly impressed: 2267. CR. SERGT. GEORGE LEONARD, 68TH FOOT. The rank of colour sergeant was introduced into the British Army in 1813. The post was a position of honour for outstanding sergeants, providing recognition and extra pay. Historically, Colour Sergeants of British line regiments were tasked with protecting Ensigns, the most junior officers who were responsible for carrying their battalions\' Colours (flag or insignia) to rally troops in battles. For this reason, the Colour Sergeant rank was considered a prestigious one given normally to courageous Sergeants who had attained accomplishments in battles. The practice of carrying Colours of uniform design to identify each regiment and provide a rally point in the confusion of battle commenced in 1639. The Colours were carried in battle in the centre of the front rank between the centre companies where they could be easily seen and recognised. This had a moral raising effect on the spirits of the troops. It also meant that the once battle was joined the Colour Party became an obvious target and the centre would see the most bitter fighting.

NEW ZEALAND VICTORIAN MEDAL TO COLOUR SGT. JOHN RUSHWORTH New Zealand Medal 1869, reverse dated 1864 to 1866, to orderly Room Clerk and Colour Sergeant John Rushworth, 68th Light Infantry.

He joined the Depot at Newry, Ireland but was in hospital from 4-30 January 1854. Recovered, he was embarked for Turkey to join the Service Company in July 1854. Rushworth arrived just after the Battle of Alma and was almost immediately attached to the pay of Scutari Hospital, on 22 September 1854. Thereafter he remained at the hospital and did not qualify for the Crimea Medal. He would see active service in New Zealand, being present for the Tauranga campaign, at the rank of Orderly Room Clerk and Colour Sergeant, being discharged in January 1875.

He saw the following overseas service: Malta, 5 months, Ionian Islands, 1 year 4 months, New Zealand, 2 years 7 months, East Indies, 3 Years 3 Months. His statement of service on discharge states: “His conduct has been very good and that he is in possession of four good conduct badges and the New Zealand War Medal, is not in possession of an educational certificate.” “Has been once entered in the regimental defaulters book, Has been once tried by Court Martial.” Unfortunately for him, the one time he deserted during his service was between 1858 and 1879, during this time following the British Mutiny Act of 1858, following a court martial for desertion the Army could choose to Brand the deserter “On the left side, 2 inches below the armpit, with the letter D, such letter to be not less than an inch long”. The branding was fortunately not done by Hot Iron anymore, but instead done by tattooing with ink of gunpowder. An example of this branding is displayed in the Army Medical Services Museum with the implements used, they hold a preserved pieces of skin, from a post mortem, of a branded deserter. Following being found as medically unfit for further service he was discharged on 28th May 1877 at Netley, his distinguishing marks described as “Marked with the letter D”.

A Second War O.B.E., Great War D.S.M. Group of ten awarded to Lieutenant-Commander J. Corby, Royal Navy, who as a Petty Officer of H.M.S. Bacchante was decorated for bravery on shore at Anzac Cove, where his ship was tasked with supporting New Zealand and Australian attacks from April to September 1915. During the Second War, he made clandestine ordnance trips to Portugal, being awarded the O.B.E. for his services. The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, O.B.E.

Corby, P.O., R.N.); British War and Victory Medals (Gnr. J. Corby, R.N.); 1939-45 Star; Atlantic Star; Defence and War Medals 1939-45. Good very fine. O.B.E. London Gazette 1 January 1946. D.S.M. London Gazette 15 May 1916: ‘In recognition of services rendered between the time of the landing in the Gallipoli Peninsula in April 1915 and the evacuation in December 1915 and January 1916.’ The original recommendation states: ‘Performed good service on the beach at Anzac, always in the forefront when it was necessary to work under fire - showing an excellent example.’ John Corby was born in Newcastle on 31 March 1887 and joined the Royal Navy as a Boy 2nd Class on 31 March 1905. Initially serving aboard H.M.S. Impregnable, he served in the Persian Gulf in the cruiser H.M.S. Perseus from November 1909 to July 1911. At the outbreak of the Great War, Corby was serving as a Petty Officer in cruiser H.M.S. Bacchante, seeing action at the battle of Heligoland Bight, 28 August 1914, before service during the Dardanelles campaign; 1915-16. During the latter campaign, H.M.S. Bacchante was charged with giving fire support to Australian and New Zealand forces at Anzac Cove, which included the landing themselves on 25 April 1915, the attacks on Anzac Cove, 19 May, Lone Pine and Chunuk Bair, 6-9 August 1915. H.M.S. Bacchante was not present when the Allies began to evacuate Gallipoli in December and the wording in Corby’s citation suggests he may well have been one of the advanced Naval spotters, sent by his ship to help achieve effective fire support during attacks. Appointed to H.M.S. Pembroke I (Shore establishment) on 11 February 1916, he was promoted to Chief Petty Officer and then selected for a commission on 1 February 1918. Appointed Acting Gunner, that September. Remaining a regular after the War, he gained further advancement to Commissioned Gunner in June 1928 and was placed on the Retired List in 1937. Prior to the outbreak of the Second World War, Corby was recalled to service, serving as a gunnery officer and being appointed to the Royal Navy Ordnance Department in October 1941. This, then, the period in which he is believed to have been involved in the clandestine shipment of ordnance to Portugal, an aspect of his career discussed in the Evening Chronicle of 24 July 1969: ‘Behind the bar of the Three Horseshoes public house in Horton, near Blyth, is a magnificent piece of silver plate which never fails to excite curiosity in the casual visitor. The beautifully worked salver is inscribed “Do Ministeria da Guerra de Portugal. Ad 1. Tenete J. Corby D.S.M. da Marinha Real Inglesa” and was presented to Mr. Cutter\'s uncle, Lieutenant-Commander John Corby, by the Portuguese Government in appreciation of work that was a closely guarded secret ... Commander Corby, who joined the Royal Navy as a boy of 16 and trained in the old wooden Training Ship Wellesley on the Tyne, rose to become one of Britain’s leading naval gunnery experts. At a time when it was feared that the German armies might sweep through France and into Spain and Portugal, he was sent to Lisbon to supervise the assembly and installation of pieces of ordnance at strategic points in Portugal as a precaution against invasion. “The guns went out in bits. They were carried in planes and trawlers, and the whole thing was a real cloak and dagger affair. My uncle got an O.B.E. for his part in the operation to add to the D.S.M. he had won in the 1914-18 War for landing troops at Gallipoli,” said Mr Cutter.’ In March 1942, Corby joined H.M.S King Alfred, the R.N.V.R., as a Gunnery Instructor and would serve there until the time of his death in 1946. He had been promoted Acting Lieutenant-Commander in October 1942 and confirmed in that rank in 1945. The announcement that Lieutenant-Commander was to be awarded the O.B.E. prior to his death. Comes with an original copy of a Christmas booklet published by the Cadet Training Ship Wellesley, in which appears a photograph of the recipient. as a young rating, shortly after he had been cited for gallant deeds in the Gallipoli operations; together with the newspaper cutting quoted above.

London Gazette 24 January 1919. The original recommendation states: \"On the 8th of August 1918 east of Hamel, during the preliminary bombardment, this N.C.O. was in charge of the 6th Trench Mortars. He handled his section with great ability, and carried out the allocated task under difficult circumstances. After the barrage had lifted, he went forward and assisted in the capture of an enemy 77mm gun and it\'s crew, and in turning this gun against the enemy. His coolness, courage and devotion to duty set a great example to the men under him.\" Sylvane enlisted in the Australian Imperial Force at Black Boy Hill, Western Australia on 20 December 1915, and was posted to the 36th Battery, 23rd Field Artillery Brigade. He went with the Battery to the UK in May 1916, and served in the French theatre of War from 24 November 1916. Sylvane advanced to Sergeant and transferred to the 6th Medium Trench Mortar Battery in February 1918. He served with the Battery on the Somme and was awarded his M.M. for gallantry in operations east of Hamel, 8 August 1918. The Battery\'s War Diary for 1-13 August 1918, gives the action as particularly hectic on 8 August, with several German Batteries being located by recce patrols. The Germans had spiked many of their guns, however several were captured, and two guns were later sent to the Australian War Museum. The Diary also contains the following Citation for Sylvane\'s M.M; \"For devotion to duty, courage and initiative in the advance east of Hamel 8 August 1918. In the initial attack he kept Mortars firing under heavy enemy barrage and in the day dealing with enemy strong points.\" Sylvane returned to Australia in H.M.A.T. Somali, 10 December 1918, and was discharged 15 March 1919. Jack\'s real name was William Innes Smith and he swapped identity with Jack Sylvane as he was over age. He was born in Stepney, London about 1870. Father, William Smith, Master Mariner and Mother, Catherine Elizabeth Innes. His Mother was Anglo/Burmese and his parents were married in Moulmein, Burma. Her father was a Scottish Shipbuilder and his wife a Burmese woman. William Smith (Jack Sylvane) arrived in Freemantle on the ii-fated SS Waikato in 1899. The ship drifted at sea for three weeks with a broken propellor shaft before being towed into Freemantle. It is assumed he was a crew member. A colourful life! He is also believed to have served as a Mercenary in Cuba.

Fogarty): \"During the attack east of Framerville, near Amiens, on the morning 11th August 1918, these two signallers passed through a gap in the line during the mist, and came upon the enemy strong point while carrying their signalling gear and attack the post, capturing 12 prisoners and 4 machine guns.\" Charles was born in Birkenhead, South Australia, in 1890. He enlisted in the Australian Imperial Force, 8 September 1916, and embarked for France on S.S. Militia in January 1917. He served with the 28th Australian Infantry Battalion as part of the 7th Australian Brigade, 2nd Australian Division in the French theatre of War. Charles was awarded his M.M. for gallantry in operations on the Somme, in particular during the attack on Framerville, 11 August 1918. The Battalion War Diary records that zero hour for the attack was 4am, and that barrage was heavy with all calibre of guns. The Germans replied with a counter barrage, machine guns and gas, before the Australian Brigade attacked on a 2,000-yard front. The attack was successful with the Germans suffering heavy casualties, and 2 officers, 67 other ranks, and 16 machine- guns being captured. The 28th Battalion suffered 2 officers and 7 other ranks killed, 3 officers and 68 other ranks wounded. Charles continued to serve with the Battalion in France, and received a gunshot wound to the left leg, 5 September 1918. He returned to Australia on the S.S.

He did very good work in previous Operations at BRAY and SUZANNE as No. 2 of a Lewis Gun team.\" Charles Stewart enlisted on 14th February 1916. He was Wounded in Action three times including being gassed on the third occasion. In February 1917, the 37th Battalion provided 400 troops, with a similar party from the 38th Battalion to form a \"Special Raiding Battalion\".

WW1 BRITISH GALLIPOLI MC & MID GROUP TO CAPT. R.W LEE ESSEX REGIMENT (LATE ARTIST RIFLES) A 1917 Palestine M.C./M.I.D. Group of four Medals awarded to Captain Reginald William Lee, Essex Regiment, late Artists Rifles, who was decorated for skillful leadership under heavy Turkish fire. Military Cross, G.V.R., unnamed as issued, with replacement suspension bar; 1914-15 Star (2. Lieut.R. W. Lee. Essex. R.); British War and Victory Medals with small M.I.D. oak leaves (2. Lieut. R. W.Lee.). Captain Lee served at Gallipoli and Sinai/Palestine. It was for his gallantry during the attack of Ali Muntar Ridge (Ali-El-Muntar), one of the key positions overlooking Gaza in the First battle of Gaza that Lieutenant Lee was awarded the Military Cross. On 26th March 1917 the First Battle of Gaza was fought. During the Battle, as part of 161 \"Essex\" Brigade, 54th Division, the 4th Essex were tasked with taking Green Hill and Ali Muntar Ridge. M.C. London Gazette 14 August 1917: ‘For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. During an attack he went back under heavy machine gun and rifle fire at close range, collected and brought up reinforcements, regardless of his own safety. He then organised and skillfully led the final assault from his part of the line.’ \"ali-el muntar 26.3.17\" M.I.D. London Gazette 6 July 1917 Reginald William Lee was born on 20 April 1890 at East Dulwich, London. Educated at Strand School and King’s College, London, Lee worked in Croydon as a bank clerk at the London County & West Bank Ltd. whilst living at 8 Gauden Road, Clapham. Following the outbreak of the Great War he enlisted as a Private in the 28th Battalion, County of London Regiment (Artists Rifles) on 14 November 1914, being commissioned 2nd Lieutenant in the 4th (Reserve) Battalion, Essex Regiment, in March 1915. Embarking at Devonport on 24 September 1915 aboard Franconia, Lee joined his unit on the Gallipoli Peninsula on 7 October 1915. He later disembarked at Mudros per Marathon on 17 December 1915 and was promoted Temporary Captain on 13 March 1916 at the time of the Senussi Campaign, and upon the death of Captain Tyler. Posted to Battalion Headquarters in Alexandria, he was awarded the M.C. and further advanced Acting Major on 14 June 1917 upon Major G. Jones relinquishing his commission. Just ten days later Lee was sent to hospital suffering from a septic foot, remaining under the careful watch of R.A.M.C. staff until 7 November 1917. As a result, he missed the Third Battle of Gaza fought from 1-3 November 1917 by a matter of days but was likely involved in the pursuit of Turkish forces across the desert alongside the ANZAC Mounted Division. Returning to Kantara, Lee appears to have spent much of 1918 continuing to recuperate and assisting Battalion Headquarters. Embarking to England aboard the newly commissioned troopship Katoomba from Port Said on 27 May 1919, Lee returned home to Gauden Road and was demobilised on 8 June 1919. Comes with copied service record and an original letter from the Army Council thanking Lee for his service during the Great War, dated 8 December 1920.

WW1 GERMAN ARMY AIR SERVICE BAVARIAN OFFICERS LITEWKA UNIFORM - NAMED WW1 Bavarian aviation officers early war Litewka tunic and trousers (not to be confused with the \'Kleiner Rock\', which were introduced from late 1915). Both the Litewka\'s and Kleiner Rock\'s were very popular with pilots because they were a more comfortable uniform to wear. Made with the distinct Litewka soft doeskin silvery grey wool material and with the straight lower pockets. Two rows of silver (Bavarian) buttons, and matching collar patches and slip-on type shoulder boards and all corresponding in colour for the 8th Bavarian Field Artillery Regiment. Matching gilded winged propellers on each shoulder board and with vertical loops for one award on the left hand side (presumably for a Bavarian pilots or observers badge) and a smaller set of vertical loops on the right hand side (possibly for an Austro-Hungarian pilots badge or Gallipoli Star). And with a nice pair of dark navy coloured straight-leg trousers of similar soft doeskin wool material with WW1 period matching metal buttons marked \'solide neuheit\'. Named to a Lt \'Rothe\' or \"Bothe\' (as it is hard to tell the first letter being period hand-written in ink italics). Initial research has found a PLM winner, Fritz Ritter von Roth, who did serve in the 8th Bavarian Atty Regiment, before joining the the Air Service in late 1917, and he was famous for being known as the \"Balloon Buster\". Although his spelling differs, with the \'e\' at the end, Roth(e) was spelt both ways, and it is a well known Southern German surname with both spellings being used (in the same way that Goring was also spelt Goering).

On 9 March 1918, he attacked a formation of enemy scouts, selecting one which was attacking one of our machines. The enemy aircraft dived down with a quantity of smoke issuing from it, but it appeared to flatten out at 2,000 feet and disappeared in the mist. He has previously destroyed several enemy machines and has at all times led his flight with great skill and courage.\" Cyril Burfield Ridley was born at Esher, Surrey on 18 January 1895. He was educated at Arundel House, Surbiton and at an early age showed a great interest and proficiency in aeronautics. Ridley soon became a keen member of the Aero Club, in his time becoming an accomplished builder of both gliding and powered aeroplanes. During 1910, aged only 15, Ridley built a glider with the vast wingspan of 18ft, so successful that it was demonstrated at the Crystal Palace and Sandown Park. A cutting of Flight, dated 26 August 1911 also includes an image of \'Master C. Ridley, the boy model maker, who won the Gamage Silver Challenge Cup and Gold Medal for longest flight at this competition.\' His love for the air developed into a career, working as an Aeronautical Engineer for the Sopwith Aviation Company, during which time he also qualified as a pilot, from Hall School, Hendon, with Certificate No. 2427 on 20 February 1916. He was thence commissioned Flight Sub-Lieutenant in the Royal Naval Air Service on 25 June 1916, being posted to Dover and successfully completing both patrols and escort sorties. Although his initial training had been a success, the first combat victory for Ridley was not accounted for until Spring 1917, sharing an Albatros DIII over Villers Les Cagnicourt on 29 April 1917, later sharing an Albatros DV, near Messines on 17 July 1917, his first \'solo\' that of a another DV following \'...a very hot engagement with six enemy scouts near Ypres, 14 August 1917. A DFW was scored over Zillibeke, 10 September 1917 with his report stating: One two-seater observed approaching our formation over Zillibeke at 16,000 feet at 5.05pm. On being observed it immediately dived east and I fired a short burst into it, whereupon it dived vertically and turned west, eventually appearing to flatten out at 1,000 feet over Ypres. I followed it down firing continuously at it from point-blank range until my gun jammed over the enemy trenches. The E.A. was last seen going down low over the trenches with puffs of smoke emitting from its engine.\' What else that is evident from the study of the supporting documentation is that of his many \'probables\'. Many inconclusive combats are noted, including in June, that of driving an enemy scout to 900 feet, strikes seen entering the fuselage and wings, 3 September 1917. A mere three days later, north of Lille, Ridley shot up an enemy kite-balloon, causing the enemy observer to make use of his parachute, Ridley noting he was lucky to clear \'...very intense A.A. fire\' upon his climbing from the target. A charming margin note, following that \'...the balloon appeared to be hit but did not catch fire\', stated only \'Balls\'. By December 1917, Ridley was promoted Flight Lieutenant and had converted to Camels, claiming an Albatros DV at 18,000ft, near Passchendaele, 6 December 1917. He then returned home until February 1918, completing Home Defence Duties from Dover and London. March 1918 saw a return to the Front and he shared in a kite balloon over Ypres, later confirmed as a decoy bearing a straw Observer. His unit was thence re-named No. 201 Squadron Royal Air Force in April, adding one more kite balloon to his score, east of Boyelles, 8 April 1918. Before July 1918 and his appointment as a Flight Commander, four more kills were added, these being a Pfalz DIII, two Fokker Dr. Is and a Fokker DVII, going to earth \'...completely out of control\', 4 July 1918. Great detail may be gleaned from the Squadron records of the wholly treacherous circumstances which Ridley found himself on a number of occasions and the exact frequency of his service. He is shown to have engaged 10 enemy scouts on 21 March 1918, having been forced to withdraw on account of his guns jamming. Between the calendar year of April 1917-18, Ridley is confirmed as having flown in excess of 200 sorties, a most intriguing mission being that shared with South African Ace Flight Lieutenant S. M. Kinkead, engaging Gothas off Westende, on 13 November 1917. His service during the year was eventually rewarded with a richly-deserved D.S.C, his recommendation (NAAIR1/74/15/9/165 refers) states a record of 17 victories, no doubt as a result the many probables which may be attributed following his continuous and varied combat flying in those previous twelve months. The skill of Ridley was far more than a consistent and active combat pilot. He was also a superbly proficient enemy strafer, with numerous entries providing details: Flight Lieutenant Ridley attempted an attack on Rechem. He fired 150 rounds from 250 feet at troops on the ground in a small town probably near Menin,being unable to find the aerodrome. He experienced very severe machine-gun and A.A. fire and flying onions. He encountered E.A. in mist and returned with his machine riddled with bullets\' 13 July 1917 Flight Lieutenant Ridley observed bodies of troops in shell holes and trenches just in front of our advancing troops near Becelaere. He went down to within 10 feet of the ground and was much below the level of the trees at times. He dived at these batches of troops who ran from shell hole to shell hole pursued by the triplane. Our troops waved and cheered as the pilot flew over them and dived towards the enemy who were in complete panic.\' 20 September 1917 Flight Lieutenant Ridley saw a block-house behind which were about 100 men. Some appeared to be climbing over the top or perhaps sniping our troops. He fired 150 rounds at these men and took several dives at them until too close to the ground, when he had to pull off. Apparently some of these troops were shot. Position N. of Becelaere.\' 26 September 1917. By July 1918, now promoted Captain, Ridley was requested to complete a test flight upon the RAM B8783. As a vastly experienced pilot in low-level missions, his report would be essential for the approval of new machines. However a report regarding the machine makes for stark reading: Having flown this machine, I consider it very slow, exceedingly heavy on controls, and unmanageable for manoeuvring near the ground. I therefore consider it unsuitable for low-flying and ground strafing work. After I had been in the air for fifteen minutes, the engine failed, owing to a broken piston liner, and I was forced to land.\' The conclusion from the field confirms the trust in the opinion of Ridley, concluding it is \'...little doubt that this machine is unsuitable for any military purposes.\' Following the Great War, Ridley remained with the Royal Air Force but was killed in a training accident. His Bristol fighter collided mid-air with the aircraft of Flight Lieutenant J.D. de Pencier, on 17 May 1920 over Lindenthal, Cologne, Germany. Both men were serving with No. 12 Squadron, with the aircraft crashing from a height of approximately 450 feet (Berliner Lokal-Anzeiger, refers), their crew sustaining injuries but surviving. He is buried in the Cologne Southern Cemetery, Germany; together with Commissioning Documents as Flight Sub-Lieutenant and as Captain, two portrait photographs of the recipient, besides a large file with a number of original newspaper cuttings, copied photographs and documents, all pertaining to the education, career and death of the recipient, 33 copied images, some with annotations from the original photograph album of the recipient of his service throughout his service and copied Log Book entries.

WW1 ROYAL FLYING CORPS MESSAGE STREAMER A very good and slightly used WW1 RFC Message Streamer. WW1 RFC aircrew regularly used these message streamers throughout the war to drop information and coordinates of enemy positions to their troops on the ground. In addition, these streamers were also used by the Flight and Squadron Commanders by attaching them to the their wing struts and sometimes on the tail fin, so that the other pilots could easily identify them in the air. A good example with correct central pop-button at the top inside of the pouch to secure the weight and message within the canvas pouch square. Measures 54 inches or 137 cms in length. Note: SE5a aircraft not included !

Listed on nominal roll and WIA. Soldiers Release Book. Stanley Thornber was born in Burnley, Lancashire in 1918, the son of George Thornber and Cissie nee Smith. In 1939 he was working as a joiner. In 1940 he married Doris Blades. He enlisted as a L/Cpl with the Royal Engineers in Aug 1940. He participated in the D-Day Offensive. as part of the 79 Armoured Engineers Squadron. This unit used strange-looking tanks (known as Hobart’s Funnies) that could be modified to float, clear mines, and carry and lay bridges and roadways, all of which proved their value in this action. Thornber was wounded in action on 9th June 1944 when that unit was fighting at Cambes, an important early action after D Day. He was discharged from service on 27 Sept 1946 and his testimonial states “He was a demolition NCO in a tank of an Assault Sqn R.E. and acted most coolly through many gallant actions. He is a top rate Carpenter & Joiner & has carried out some excellent construction work.” He died in Burnley in 1990. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/79th_Armoured_Division_(United_Kingdom) Stanley Thornber Served 1940-45 From Burnley Lancs Demolition NCO in a tank of assault Sqn RE.

WW2 BRITISH/NEW ZEALAND TROBUK MM GROUP TO STANLEY MAY Stanley May was born 9 June 1916 in West Derby, Lancashire, England. In August 1939 he joined the Royal Army in the Queens Own Cameron Highlanders, Service Number 2929616. He was assigned to the 2nd Battalion which served in Sudan, Egypt, and Libya (Tobruk). The Allies had captured the strategically important city of Tobruk and in 1942 were holding it (along with the 2nd Battalion Cameron Highlanders) but under extreme pressure from the Germans who had isolated the city. The second Battle of Tobruk took place between 14 and 22 June, 1942. By the 22nd, the Germans had largely overrun Tobruk and the Cameron Highlanders held out for 24 hours after the Surrender order had been issued. Despite being taken into captivity, they marched, led by their Colonel in “column of three” formation with a swing to the tune of their Pipers – The March of the Cameron men – each company led by its company commander just as though they were on parade. Stanley was reported as missing on 21 June 1942. Casualty List No. 889 as Missing, 21/06/1942. Prisoner of War in Italy - P.O.W. Camp number 78, Sulmona, postal mark number 3300, 1945 held at Stalag 11B, Fallingbostel, German POW No.138808 Stanley was reported as no longer a POW on the 9th of June 1945, as Fallingbostel was the first POW camp to be liberated on 17th April 1945. Awarded the Military Medal for Bravery in the London Gazette 11th October 1945. Not certain what his M.M. was for though I have been told he was an escaper. If he was an escaper he must have been recaptured but unfortunately his POW report which would have no doubt been used as a citation hasn\'t survived which is a shame. His MM could have been for repeated escape attempts or service at Tobruk. Stanley emigrated to New Zealand after the War and it is thought he was in New Zealand before the War as well. This is all covered in the files.

His first solo flight followed on 8 May - this being his 61st flight (HE72) - and after that he continued training on several aircraft types, with his first flight as pilot of a HE 111 bomber on 23 February 1940. He soon after qualified for his Pilot’s badge on 8 March 1940. He was promoted Leutnant on 1 April 1940, gaining his night flying certificate on 1 June 1940. Continuing his training and familiarisation flights throughout 1940, he crash-landed his HE 111 in France during a flight from Rosières to Gutersloh on 9 August 1940. Service as a Heinkel HE 111 Pilot during the Battle of Britain. Schloßarzyk became operational when posted to Stab1/KG1 (Kampfgeschwader “Hindenberg”) based at Montdidier, in France in September 1940. Piloting Heinkel HE 111h series medium bombers during the early stages of the ‘The Blitz’, he was awarded both the Iron Cross Second and First Classes for his service.

As is the case with the Dachau versions there is no background darkening to this design. The tang nut is a standard, nickel-plated steel type, showing mild traces of age but nothing bad. The reverse cover plate is also nickel-plated steel. The grip is a fine ebony beauty, being in perfect condition. This ebony has outstanding tight nickel wire. The runes button is also stainless as we see on these degens. This button has fine and only slightly worn with raised SS runes with a good background darkening. The scabbard of this degen is not the slimmer type we usually see with these swords, but rather is the standard size. It is retained by two headless side screws. The lower mount is a conventional style which still has the darkening in its decorative lines and is retained by two dome head screws. The scabbard shell is straight throughout and has fairly good original paint. The paint shows some crazing here and there and a little bit of wear on the reverse centre. The unmarked blade is in choice condition, measuring 32 inches long. It has the conventional fuller and good, crisp edges. This blade remains in Mint condition. It has the standard Dachau type brown leather washer.

An article about William Holland and his demise appeared in Medal News dated April 2015 pages 33-34 and contains a photo of him. William Holland was born in Bethnal Green, London 13th September 1902, he first went to sea in October 1919 as a Deck Boy, on the outbreak of the Second World War he was an Able Seaman aboard the New Zealand Shipping Company’s Motor Vessel Hauraki. On the night of 12th July 1942 Hauraki, unarmed, was sailing alone bound for the Middle East from Freemantle, Australia carrying was supplies, she was intercepted and boarded in the Indian Ocean by the Aikoku and Hokoku Maru, Japanese Armed Merchant Raiders. Captain A W Creese and his crew were taken to Singapore and interned in Changi Prison. Some crew members including Able Seamen and Engineers were held on board under guard and were forced to sail the ship to Japan, William Holland was one of the Able Seamen. During the voyage bottles with notes were thrown overboard at night detailing the ship’s course and speed, in the hope they would be picked up by Allied warships. Much sabotage was also done to the ship, by the time it arrived at Yokohama the engines had almost ceased, and the ships plans and spares thrown overboard, it was to be a year before the ship was seaworthy again. Once in Japan the crew were sent to the Shingawa Work Camp, attached to the Yokohama shipyards, where the treatment of POW’s was bad including forces labour, poor food, beatings, and few medicines. William Holland became ill with Tuberculosis, about this time the Work camp became the Shinagawa POW Hospital Camp, this was the main Hospital camp for the Tokyo area which was administered by the Japanese but run by Allied POW Doctors and Orderlies. In March 1945 Captain (Doctor) Hisakichi Tokuda, Japanese Army Medical Corps assumed total control and took over the treatment of patients. Doctor Tokuda was incompetent and believed he could cure Tuberculosis by injecting intravenously Soya Bean Milk. William Holland was admitted to the Hospital at the end of 1944 and was confined to Barracks No 5 with various (wrong) diagnoses by Dr Tokuda, discharged in September 1944, he was re-admitted in April 1945 with multiple medical problems. On around 9th July 1945 against his consent injected intravenously with 20 mls of Soya Bean Milk into a vein (Contains vitamin B and administered orally to treat Beri Beri). The result was Holland started to convulse lasting six hours then went into a coma and died at 0200 hours on 10th July 1945 (recorded officially as 12th July the date varies slightly). Doctor Tokuda was responsible for other POW’s deaths, he was tried for war crimes in Yokohama, Japan, by the US Authorities, his trial commencing on 8th September 1947 lasting to 2nd January 1948. Found guilty of violating the Laws and Customs of War, carrying out medical experiments on POW’s etc. Found guilty he was sentenced to death by hanging but died in captivity before the sentence could be carried out. The case of William Holland included in the trial transcript with evidence on his particular case by witnesses. William Holland was 45 years old, the son of Edward James Holland and his wife Caroline of Bethnal Green, London and now rests in an identified grave in the Yokohama War Cemetery, Japan.

Awarded the Military Medal for Bravery in the London Gazette 11th October 1945. Not certain what his M.M. was for though I have been told he was an escaper. If he was an escaper he must have been recaptured but unfortunately his POW report which would have no doubt been used as a citation hasn\'t survived which is a shame. His MM could have been for repeated escape attempts or service at Tobruk. Stanley emigrated to New Zealand after the War and it is thought he was in New Zealand before the War as well. This is all covered in the files.

WW2 RAF BATTLE OF BRITAIN FIGHTER PILOT GROUPING TO FT. LT. BRIAN CONSIDINE - ONE OF THE NINE BATTLE OF BRITAIN IRISH VOLUNTEERS Battle of Britain Fighter Pilot Group of Eight to Flight Lieutenant Brian Bertram Considine, 238, 111, 173 and 48 Squadrons, R.A.F. Hurricane and Spitfire Pilot. A well-documented \'Battle of Britain\' group of eight awarded to Flight Lieutenant B. B. \'Connie\' Considine, Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, one of a handful of Irish pilots who fought in the Battle, considering it \'his duty\' to fight for Britain, who recorded at least two kills in the Hurricanes of No. 238 Squadron during the Battle. Shot down days after the end of the Battle by Helmut Wick - and suffering canon wounds - he was driven to hospital by a grumbling civilian who was worried about his spilling blood on the upholstery. Considine recovered to tow Gliders during \'Operation Varsity\' and was later an airline pilot of Aer Lingus. 1939-45 Star, clasp, Battle of Britain; Air Crew Europe Star, clasp, France and Germany; Africa Star; Burma Star; Italy Star; Defence and War Medals 1939-45; Air Efficiency Award, G.VI.R. (Flt. Lt. B. B. Considine. R.A.F.V.R.), mounted as worn nearly extremely fine, together with corresponding miniature awards, the miniature Air Crew Europe lacking clasp. Brian Bertram Considine was born on 15 January 1920 in Dublin. \"Well, I was nineteen then and I don\'t think I was concerned with those kinds of things… I was more interested in enjoying myself!\' Completing his elementary flight training at Gravesend, Considine was at his mother\'s apartment in Harrington Gardens, London, when he heard that war had broken out. Called up the day before, he felt a sense of relief that the indecision was over, but no doubt held feelings of trepidation having flown just 50 hours in Tiger Moths. Nevertheless, the declaration of war had its compensations: “I had a glorious month when I was paid by the Air Force, and I was also paid by my firm because I was with Unilever as a trainee… So I had a month enjoying myself and playing golf!” Sent to an Initial Training Wing at Cambridge and then on to Flight Training School at Grantham, he finally completed his course on fighters on 10 May 1940, the day that Winston Churchill became Prime Minister and Hitler launched his blitzkrieg against France and the Low Countries. Appointed to a Commission, Considine was posted to the O.T.U. at Sutton Bridge but arrived amid scenes of \'utter chaos.\' With no one knowing what was going on and arriving quite unexpectedly, he returned to Grantham and was then posted to No. 238 Squadron at Tangmere, Sussex. \'No one had heard of it!\' \'Kitted up\' in London, Considine arrived at Tangmere on 14 May 1940 amid scenes of similar confusion: I asked for 238 Squadron, and no one had heard of it… Because 601 and 145 were both there - they were both Hurricane squadrons - and we were a new squadron formed at Tangmere, the C.O. was a fellow called Baines who had come from the Air Ministry and the Flight Commanders had come from other Squadrons, and then there were a few of us from Grantham… myself, Wigglesworth, Sgt. Alsop, none of us had had any ops training at all. We found ourselves on this squadron with Spitfires… Four of us hadn\'t flown anything other than biplanes.\' Recognising the potential for \'lambs to the slaughter\', the new recruits were given a flip round in a master trainer by Squadron Leader Cyril E. J. Baines, before being sent off alone in Spitfires: \'Well, of course, it was heavenly!\' Considine was not alone in his praise for the Spitfire, indeed his first impressions were similarly experienced by Pilot Officer Geoffrey Wellum of No. 92 Squadron, Royal Air Force, and recounted in detail in his memoir First Light. Whilst Wellum\'s first flight resulted in a \'decidedly lumpy\' landing, Considine faced far more than disapproving glances from his Commanding Officer: My own first flight wasn\'t very auspicious because they Spitfire aircraft had all sorts of technical things we didn\'t have in Harts and things… For example, you had a variable pitch prop, which meant that you put it into fine pitch to take off and when you got it to a certain height you put it back into coarse pitch. I promptly forgot to put it in coarse pitch, and I did a few circuits around the field and all the rest of it, came back and landed, and feeling pretty pleased with myself - as I\'d made a nice landing - I could see the C.O. jumping up and down like a monkey in a rage. I got out and remember him saying: \"I\'ll make you pay ten thousand pounds\", or something… \"You\'ve wrecked the thing!\" It was all covered in oil. Fortunately, the engine had managed to survive, and that was that…\' Considine spent his first days at Tangmere continuing to train under the watchful eyes of Stuart Walsh and Bill Kennedy, the former a 23-year-old Tasmanian- born Flight-Commander who would later be shot down over the Channel and killed on 11 August 1940: \'I remember Stuart Walsh taking me up and seeing if he could lose me - you know, I had to get on his tail and all this sort of thing.\' Transferred to Hurricane aircraft, the Squadron moved from Tangmere to Middle Wallop and was made operational on 2 July 1940. From then on, \'one was constantly in action at that time\'. For Considine and his fellow pilots, the experience became ever more frightening the more you realised what was going on. He became very tense waiting to go up: \'You\'d be waiting there for the telephone to ring. Every time it rang, you\'d go taut… And then you\'d run out and go!\' Many pilots grew to hate the sound of the telephone, it\'s ringing summoning the men to \'go hell for leather\' towards their machines. On 13 July 1940, Considine awoke to an overcast sky, gusty rain showers and a light southerly wind. As conditions improved towards evening, \'Blue Section\' consisting of Flight Lieutenant Walsh, Pilot Officer Considine and Sergeant Seabourne took off and succeeded in shooting down a Me. 110 in the Weymouth locality. The exact circumstances are described in a letter written by Considine to his mother the following day: If you had heard the 9 o\'clock news this morning (Sunday) you would have heard a detailed account of our biggest fight yet. There were twelve of us up when we saw two Dornier bombers and about 5,000 feet above them 30 Mess 110 Fighters, 3 of our chaps attacked the bombers, whilst the remaining 9 of us went up to attack or rather engage the fighters - outnumbered 3-1. I have never been so frightened in all my life! Anyway, we climbed up into the sun and my Section Leader then turned and dived down at Huns. I followed him down. He attacked one and immediately another one got on his tail. I attacked it and got one on my tail. However, I just forgot about the one behind me and went for the fellow in front of me. I fired at him and he did a quick turn to the left, I turned inside him firing all the time, suddenly his port engine caught fire and he dived straight down into the sea. All this time I had another fellow on my tail pumping lead at me… It was our first really big show, and we feel we did pretty well… It was the first machine that I have definitely shot down on my own.\' Two further enemy aircraft were shot down by 238 Squadron, but the mood at Middle Wallop was subdued upon hearing the news of the loss of Flight Lieutenant J. C. Kennedy who stalled trying to avoid high tension cables whilst landing and was killed. A little over a week later, on 21 July 1940, Considine was firmly in amongst the enemy for a second time piloting Hurricane P.3599 and serving as \'Blue 2\' under Flight Lieutenant Walsh. Vectored over a friendly Channel convoy, he intercepted fifteen Me. 110s as they began to dive bomb the hapless merchantmen who sought refuge in Portsmouth harbour: Three of us, myself and Sergeant Little who was No. 3, we came on an Me. 110 over Portsmouth… We went into line astern; in those days you followed the book with all those tactical things which were abandoned later on… Stuart Walsh delivered an attack on the 110 and I followed after him and gave it a squirt. The rear-gunner was shooting at me - I gave it a squirt and got (him). Breaking away, the 110 was finished off by Walsh. It went straight into the water. We just went straight up their arses!\' According to the ORB, Considine then set the starboard engine of another Me. 110 on fire. Chasing the stricken enemy aircraft all the way back to France, it crashed back at base, killing one of the crew (The Few: The Story of the Battle of Britain in the Words of the Pilots, refers). Credited with a \'Probable\', Considine relocated with his Squadron to R.A.F. St. Eval in Cornwall on 14 August 1940 - where it was believed the pilots could take a little time to rest and recuperate in a somewhat quieter sector. He returned to Middle Wallop on 10 September 1940 as was immediately back in the thick of it. According to the historians, the Battle of Britain ended on 31 October 1940. \"Unfortunately, no one told the Germans,\" Considine later recalled. Having successfully survived the heat of battle he was shot down by a Me. 109 over Bournemouth on 5 November 1940: Well, yes, we were at 20,000 feet. I was at the rear, weaving, keeping an eye out for aircraft behind… And I looked in my mirror and saw a fellow directly behind whom I thought was a Spitfire because 609 Squadron were supposed to be behind us - but of course it wasn\'t a Spitfire, it was a 109 and just as I saw him he fired. I heard a noise and everything exploding in the cockpit…I banked over, pulled down hard, tried to do a half-roll, and I could smell the cordite in the cockpit. And of course I shouted out on the R.T. to warn the Squadron… The fellow in the middle, Jackie Mann, says he saw this fellow who was only a few yards behind me… And he must have blown the tail nearly off because I couldn\'t fly the aeroplane. And so, I baled out. I kicked open, I got the canopy open, went to get out, released my belt - but I hadn\'t pulled out the radio connector… So, I had to give it a kick to get rid of that. But I couldn\'t get free of the aeroplane. It had gone into a spin and was above me. It really was quite bothersome! I had to do a delayed drop and didn\'t pull the ripcord until I go to about 3000 feet and broken cloud. As I pull the ripcord the aeroplane went hurtling past me with a terrific roar… The engine was still on of course! Quite queer this thing pursuing me down…\' The ORB notes that Considine was wounded by cannon fire in the wrist and leg and came down by parachute at Sturminster Marshall. His aircraft, Hurricane V.6792 was wrecked at Shapwick, not far from the wreck of Sergeant Josef Jeka who came down at Wimborne. Bleeding profusely, Considine made his way across ploughed fields to the nearest road where he flagged down a passing motorist: \"This is a new car and it\'s got to last me the war,\" grumbled the driver. He was driven to hospital. For Considine, the event served as a giant wake-up call. He had survived the full loss of hydraulics when shot at from behind by a Me. 109 on 6 August during a 700-aircraft raid on Portland, but the loss of his aircraft led to some deep thinking and careful analysis, not least in his mistaken belief that the trailing aircraft was \'friendly\'. In a letter to his mother written from the Officer\'s Ward at Shaftesbury Military Hospital on 6 November 1940, Considine noted: Thank god the thing didn\'t go on fire. It took me so long to get out I would have been horribly burned. I\'m a bit shaken and bruised of course, and I\'ve got these minor wounds, but I feel very well and in good form, so don\'t worry about me.\' It was many decades later that he learnt, with some satisfaction, that the Luftwaffe pilot who had shot him down was the then top-scoring \'ace\' Helmut Wick (56 victories) - who was himself shot down by John Dundas, elder brother of Hugh \'Cocky\' Dundas, off the Isle of Wight. Further service: Middle East & Operation Varsity Remaining with No. 238 Squadron, Considine transferred to Damascus and Habbaniya aboard the M.V. Highland Princess on 9 May 1941. From here he initially ferried fighter aircraft for Squadron use in the Western Desert, before joining the Meteorological Flight in Palestine on 27 February 1942. Transferred to No. 74 Squadron at Tehran on 30 January 1943, he flew operational patrols in Spitfire aircraft over Catania from 18 July 1943, being heavily engaged in escorting Mitchell and Kittyhawk aircraft. A scramble on 12 August 1943 notes, \'Bandit turned away - no contact.\' Joining No. 111 Squadron in Malta from 1 July 1943, he subsequently transferred to No. 173 Squadron as an Instructor in late 1943. It was at this time that Considine had the distinction of taking up Air Vice Marshal Sydney E. Toomer on a dual instruction flight aboard a Fairchild aircraft on 13 and 14 December 1943. On 30 August 1944, he was further tasked with transferring the G.O.C. in C., Sir Bernard C. T. Paget, from Heliopolis to Mutrah. Sent to India with his Squadron, he carried out supply drops in Burma before returning home on 24 January 1945 and being sent on a refresher course at No. 17 S.F.T.S. based at Coleby Grange, Lincoln. Graded \'above the average\', he was posted to No. 48 Squadron in France and spent March 1945 flying regular sorties on Dakota Aircraft. This included towing a glider over the River Rhine on 24 March 1945 as part of Operation Varsity, his logbook noting \'Glider tow over Rhine. Landed Lille.\' Considine made his final flight with No. 48 Squadron on 15 November 1945. Released from the service, he took employment with Aer Lingus for four years flying Viking and DC-3 aircraft between Dublin and London. He left the airline in 1949, his civilian logbook noting over 3000 hours solo flight time, but not before whisking away a young Aisling \'Nuala\' Kiernan who worked as an air hostess for the airline. The couple married and Nuala later developed a lucrative side line compiling crosswords for a range of newspapers. Joining the press and puzzles agency Morley Adams Ltd, it is believed that over seven decades she compiled more cryptic crosswords than anyone else in history. In the meantime, Considine took up careers in advertising and journalism; it was said that after he left Aer Lingus, he had completely lost his enthusiasm for flying, and on winter trips across the Atlantic they always travelled by boat. In his spare time Considine played cricket for Ampleforth and became a successful member of the Royal Mid-Surrey Golf Club located in the Old Deer Park, Richmond, London. In 1964 his handicap dropped from 12 to 3 - a remarkable feat on the testing J. H. Taylor course. Perhaps unsurprisingly given his ability to regularly break 70\' (Times Obituary, refers), he won the prestigious Royal Air Force Golfing Society Veteran\'s Handicap Cup in 1985. Considine died without issue in London on 31 March 1996.The Group comes with an outstanding archive of original documentation and ephemera including: Royal Air Force Pilot\'s Flying Logbook No. 2, the opening page annotated by the recipient \'Continued from Old Book Lost Western Desert. 30/12/41\', detailing the flying operations of Considine from 12 February 1942-14 October 1946.

London Gazette 21 August 1945: ‘This officer has completed numerous sorties in the most adverse weather, often in the worst winter months. In September 1944, Flight Lieutenant Ashworth made an attack on an enemy airfield. Despite heavy anti-aircraft fire, he shared in the destruction of two enemy aircraft. On another occasion, in January 1945, he participated in an attack against the heavily defended harbour of Pola, contributing to the destruction of two small vessels and the damaging of another E-boats; quayside buildings and oil tanks were also set on fire. On yet another occasion during an attack on targets in Yugoslavia in March 1945, Flight Lieutenant Ashworth shared in destroying or severely damaging two enemy aircraft, the control tower and a hangar, as well as a number of locomotives and railway wagons. This officer has displayed outstanding courage and devotion to duty.’ Thomas Holmes Evelyn Battersby Ashworth was born in July 1922 and joined the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve as a Leading Aircraftman in August 1942. He was commissioned, advanced to Flying Officer (on probation) in February 1943, and to Flight Lieutenant in August 1944. After carrying out pilot training in Texas, Ashworth was subsequently posted for operational service with 249 (Gold Coast) Squadron (Spitfires & Mustangs), Brindisi, in July 1944. The Squadron joined the new Balkan Air Force that month and was employed over the coastal areas of Yugoslavia and Albania. Having converted to Mustangs in September 1944, the Squadron History gives the following: ‘Early in the morning of 21 September, Flg Off Ashworth (HB937) and Sgt Manning (KH422) were airborne from Brindisi, their take-off time being 0500. They crossed the coast south of Valona Bay and flew to Larissa, about 35 miles east of Trikkala. When about 10 miles north of Larissa they dived to 500 feet and then swept across the airfield at 300 feet. Manning, who was leading, strafed a Ju52 and set it on fire; Ashworth, following closely on his tail, strafed a second transport aircraft, which blew up. Unable to break away in time, he flew through the explosion, which tossed him to starboard, his Mustang suffering damage by debris. On looking back, he saw Manning’s aircraft flying through a curtain of 20mm and 40mm flak; the Mustang took hits in the rudder, fuselage and radiator and ad its hood shot away, but continued to fly until some distance from Larissa when Manning was compelled to bale out. He landed on a hilltop near Kritsini and was helped by Greek ELAS Partisans soon after he landed. Within a few days he was returned to Italy in a Dakota from a landing strip not far from where he baled out. He did not return to the Squadron as he had injured his back when baling out and was posted to the United Kingdom. He was advised later of the award of the DFM.’ After taking part in an attack on Pola harbour, 18 January 1945, Ashworth was wounded during a reconnaissance operation, 25 January: ‘A locomotive pulling wagons was sighted near Brod, this being strafed, and twenty wagons left in damaged condition. Accurate 20mm flak was experienced, Flg Off Ashworth’s aircraft (KH561 GN-B) suffering a hit which also wounded the pilot in the thigh. However, he was able to return to base safely.’ (Ibid) Having recuperated from his wound, Ashworth was back in action with a ‘bang’: ‘In the meantime, on 21 March 1945, Flt Lt Ashworth (FB328 GN-X) and new arrival Wt Off R. N. Wheeler RAAF (HB952 GN-F) departed Biferno at 1605 and flew to Prkos airfield near Zara, where they landed 45 minutes later. Next day they took off from Prkos at 0520 to carry out an offensive sweep of Maribor, Dravograd, Zeltweg and Bruck, rather less than 100 miles due south-west of Vienna. This operation was the furthest into enemy territory of any made by the Squadron. They strafed numerous targets, chiefly along the railway linking the towns and claimed two locomotives destroyed, two disabled and five more damaged, together with ten railway wagons damaged. At Zeltweg they attack the airfield where, in the south-west corner, was a Ju88, partly under tarpaulins, with men working on it. The bomber swung round sharply when hit and a small fire was started under the fuselage, and it was claimed probably destroyed. They next strafed and damaged the control tower, which was located on the south side of the airfield. In the south-west corner were two hangars, one with an aircraft, believed a Bf109, standing outside its closed doors. The Messerschmitt swung back against the hangar as it was hit and was claimed damaged. Both that hangar and the other were strafed as was a barracks hut just outside the airfield. On nearing Twimberg they strafed a factory building and south of Bruck they strafed and damaged a motor vehicle pulling a trailer, travelling north-east towards that town.’ Ashworth stayed with the Squadron until its disbandment in August 1945. After the war he was employed as a Bank Official in Nakuru, Kenya. Ashworth served as an Inspector of Police with the Kenya Police Reserve during the Mau Mau Rebellion. He subsequently moved to Tripoli, Libya, and retired to East Sussex. Ashworth died in February 1988. Group includes the following related items: D.F.C.

WW2 RAF DFC GROUPING TO WING COMMANDER C. A. VERNIEUX - FOR A SUCCESSFUL ATTACK ON THE GERMAN BATTLE CRUISERS SCHARNHORST & GNEISENAU A comprehensive Distinguished Flying Cross group of 5 to Wing Commander Cyril Ashley Vernieux, Royal Air Force, along with pilot\'s log books, photo\'s and supporting paperwork. A superb Second World War D.F.C. group of five awarded to Wing Commander C. A. Vernieux, Royal Air Force, who was decorated for his command of a section of three No. 15 Squadron Stirlings in a successful daylight strike against the enemy battle cruisers at Brest on18 December 1941: leading them in through curtains of flak - and in the face of enemy fighter opposition - he gained two direct hits. He had already completed a tour of duty in Hampdens of No. 50 Squadron in the period April-August 1940 - no mean feat for the flying glasshouse\' was a slow and vulnerable war horse. Distinguished Flying Cross, G.VI.R., the reverse officially dated \'1941\', in its Royal Mint case of issue; 1949-45 Star; Air Crew Europe Star; Defence and War Medals 1939-45. Good very fine. D.F.C. London Gazette 9 January 1942: \'One day in December 1941, a strong force of bomber aircraft carried out a determined attack on the German warships Gneisenau and Scharnhorst at Brest. The operation was carried out in the face of extremely heavy and accurate anti-aircraft fire and determined attacks by enemy fighters. Nevertheless, the air crews engaged pressed home their attacks to the utmost and succeeded in scoring hits on their objectives. Several enemy aircraft were shot down. The success of the operation, which demanded the highest degree of skill and courage, reflects the greatest credit on the efforts of the following officers and airmen who participated in various capacities as leaders and members of aircraft crews.\' The original recommendation states: \'This officer has completed 42 operational sorties, eight of which have been on Stirling aircraft since joining this squadron in October 1941. On 18 December 1941, he was detailed to lead a section of three Stirlings in a daylight attack on the battle cruisers at Brest. In spite of the delay experienced at the rendezvous, he succeeded in catching up the other two sections of his squadron shortly before reaching the target and, regardless of interference from fighters and intense heavy flak, bombed his target exactly on time and with such effect that a direct hit was scored on both battle cruisers. The accuracy of his run up was such that No. 3 in his section also secured direct hits on both ships. It is considered that Flying Officer Vernieux led his section with great skill and courage and that his steadiness under extremely arduous conditions was directly responsible for a notable feat of precision bombing.\' Covering remarks by the Air Vice-Marshal, No. 3 Group: \'I concur in the above remarks and consider that the leadership displayed by this young officer when entrusted with the responsibility of guiding a section of Stirling aircraft into this very strongly defended area, fully merits special recognition. The time for training was exceedingly short, and yet in the face of heavy anti-aircraft fire and attacks by enemy fighters, he kept his section well together and permitted his bomb aimer to carry out a successful attack.\' Cyril Ashley Vernieux was born in January 1913 and commenced pilot training at R.A.F. Wittering in November 1936. Confirmed in the rank of Pilot Officer after gaining his \'Wings\' in January 1937, he was serving as a recently promoted Flying Officer in No. 50 Squadron on the outbreak of hostilities in September 1939. He first flew operationally in the Squadron\'s Hampdens in April 1940, when he undertook a reconnaissance over the Elbe on the 23rd. In May he attacked targets in Cologne, Munich and Salzbergen, in addition to sorties to Flushing and Roermond in Holland. Having then flown another recce. over the Elbe on 1 June, Vernieux and his crew attacked eight further targets in the same month, Aachen, Frankfurt, Koblenz and Osnabruck among them. Then in July-August he raised his tally of operational sorties to the 32, his targets including Bremen, Gelsenkirchen, Wilhelmshaven. Tour-expired, he was quickly back in action after joining No. 15 Squadron - a Stirling unit - in October 1941, flying as 2nd pilot to Squadron Leader Sellick in a dusk strike on Brest on the 22nd. He gained further experience as a 2nd pilot in a return trip to Brest on the first day of November, prior to taking the helm himself in a raid on Mannheim on the 7th. Now fully acquainted with the Stirling\'s cockpit and controls, he undertook his D.F.C.-winning daylight trip to Brest on 18 December, leading a formation of three aircraft in the face of heavy odds.

White, Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, a member of the Goldfish Club as a consequence of his Lancaster having to ditch on the return from a raid on enemy shipping in La Spezia Harbour, 13 April 1943. He rallied his crew, who were stranded in their dingy for 63 hours before being spotted by a Whitley and returned home by motor launch. White flew in at least 30 operational sorties with 61 Squadron, prior to flying in at least a further 34 with 35 (Madras Presidency) Squadron as part of Pathfinder Force. He was heavily engaged with the Squadron during D-Day operations, and took part in the early morning raid on Longues Coastal Battery, 6 June 1944 Distinguished Flying Medal, G.VI.R. (618899. Sgt. S. A. White. R.A.F.); 1939-45 Star; Air Crew Europe Star, clasp, France and Germany; Defence and War Medals 1939-45, mounted for display, with Goldfish Club lapel badge, good very fine. D.F.M. London Gazette 16 November 1943. Details included in a R.A.F. Press Release state: ‘Sergeant White has completed a large number of attacks against major targets in Germany and Italy. At all times, he displayed a fine fighting spirit and great devotion to duty. On one occasion when returning from a raid on Spezia, his aircraft was forced down into the sea. During the three days and two nights the crew were in their dingy, Sergeant White’s cheerful and confident spirit did much to maintain the high morale of the crew. An excellent Air Gunner, always calm and collected, this airman’s vigilance has often enabled his Captain to avoid enemy night fighters.’ Stanley Arthur White served during the Second War with the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve. He carried out his initial training as an Air Gunner at No. 2 A.G.S., Dalcross, from November 1942. White was posted to No. 1660 Conversion Unit at Swinderby in January 1943, before being posted for operational flying with 61 Squadron (Lancasters) at Syerston the following month. He flew in at least 30 operational sorties with the Squadron, including: Gardening - Frisian Islands; Gardening - Laeso Island; Essen (4); Nuremburg (2); Duisburg (2); Frankfurt; La Spezia 13 April 1943 ‘Ditched Dinghy 250 miles S.W. of Scilly Islands. 3 days 2 nights 63 hours’ (Logbook refers); Dortmund; Pilsen; Dusseldorf; Wuppertal (2); Krefeld; Mülheim; Gelsenkirchen (2); Cologne (3); Turin; Mannheim; Milan (2); Leverkusen and Berlin. The raid on La Spezia, 13/14 April 1943, consisted of ‘208 Lancasters and 3 Halifaxes which bombed the dock area... and caused heavy damage. 4 Lancasters were lost and 3 more, either damaged or in mechanical difficulty, flew on to land at Allied airfields in North Africa. It is believed that this was the first occasion that the recently captured North African airfields were used for Bomber Command aircraft in distress. The 3 Lancasters flew back to England later.’ (Bomber Command War Diaries refer) White’s Lancaster, piloted by Flying Officer M. E. Chivers, was one of the 4 Lancasters to be lost on the raid.

WW2 RAF FIGHTER PILOT DFC GROUP TO S/LDR W.J. BODDINGTON WW2 RAF Fighter Pilot Distinguished Flying Cross Group of 6 to Squadron Leader William James Boddington D.F.C., 613 Squadron, R.A.F. The ‘Operation No-Ball 1944’ D.F.C. group of six awarded to Squadron Leader W. J. Boddington, Royal Air Force, late Major in the Cameronians (Scottish Rifles), who saw service with the infantry during the Fall of France before joining No. 613 Squadron for fighter and ground-attack duties throughout the war before returning to the Army in 1946. Distinguished Flying Cross, G.VI.R., reverse officially engraved \'1944\'; 1939-45 Star; Air Crew Europe Star, clasp, France and Germany; Defence and War Medals 1939-45; General Service 1918-62, 2 clasps Palestine 1945-48, Malaya (correctly named Sqn. Ldr. W. J. Boddington. D.F.C. R.A.F.), mounted as worn, overall contact wear, nearly very fine. D.F.C. London Gazette 29 December 1944, the original recommendation states: ‘F/Lt. Bodington has completed a total of 68 operations – 15 on Mustangs and 53 on Mosquitoes. While on Mustangs he carried out escort and shipping reconnaissance duties, being credited with one F.W.190 confirmed destroyed following a raid on Folkstone in 1943. F/Lt/ Bodington SIC has carried out 38 night and 15 daylight sorties on Mosquitoes in No. 2 Group. The daylight sorties included Ranger Operations and attacks on Flying Bomb sites. Attacks against enemy aerodromes, and a large number of stories in support of the Army and in search of enemy transport, were carried out by the night. F/Lt. Bodington SIC has shown the greatest perseverance and determination on Operations over a period of 18 months and has added greatly to their success.\' William James Boddington was born at Birmingham on 30 March 1921, the son of P. J. Boddington, a Surgeon who saw service in the Second Boer War and later as a Surgeon Captain with the Royal Horse Guards during the Great War, being wounded on 5 October 1915 in that capacity. The younger Boddington was educated at Haileybury and the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst being Commissioned 2nd Lieutenant with the Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) on 30 December 1939, making him among of the last batch of Pre-War regulars. Joining the 7th Battalion, Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) in France before later joining the Headquarters Staff with 156 Brigade. Escaping the Fall of France, he was promoted Lieutenant on 1 July 1941 and seconded to the Royal Air Force on 1 October 1941 he began to see service as a fighter pilot. Much of 1942 was spent training with one notably incident occurring on 15 December 1942 during a formation flying exercise on Mustangs. With the formation lost in deep fog and running low on fuel Boddington broke formation and attempted to land on Fountains Earth Moor, Nidderdale, unfortunately the terrain made that impossible so with the last of his fuel he climbed to a safe hight and bailed out. A search party was organised, and he was met by his would-be rescuers walking calmly down the road into Nidderdale, none the worse for wear. Posted to ‘A’ Flight, No. 613 (City of Manchester) Squadron equipped with Mosquitoes he flew bomber escort missions with them seeing action several times over the next few months, most notably on the 11 May 1943 when they caught a force of a dozen F.W.190’s over Great Yarmouth. Boddington proved himself on this occasion, catching one F.W.190 and blowing chunks from its port wing and damaging the fuselage, engine and cawling on the starboard side, he was officially awarded one F.W.190 damaged. Promoted Flight Lieutenant on 8 October 1943. With Robert ‘Pinpoint’ Bateston taking over No. 613 Squadron they began, a concerted campaign of bombing against V1 launch sites throughout Northern France starting with a raid on 31 December 1943 near Maintenay. During this attack 613 Squadron was to the rear of the British formation and both Boddington and one of his compatriots were hit by flak, although neither was lost. They continued to fly missions against ground targets in France over the next few months, including Day Rangers like the one flown on 16 May 1944 when Boddington personally attacked targets including flak positions around Chateaudun and Orleans. Later joining Op. ‘Rhubarb’ targeting German communications and logistics in preparation for D-Day. After the landings the objective changed to harrying the enemy and preventing their movement. Flying for the rest of the war Boddington reached the rank of Squadron Leader and with the award of his D.F.C. it seems despite his success he preferred Army service. His obituary notes one occasion on which he was shot down and ‘had to face a Court of Inquiry, not for the loss of a valuable aeroplane, but for failing retrieve his parachute’. Seeing further service in Malaya and Palestine he was later promoted Captain with the 1st Battalion Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) on 2 July 1946 he saw service at Gibraltar and Triesle and was further advanced Major on 31 July 1952. He saw more service in Germany, Bahrain and Kenya. Boddington died in 1985, at his Funeral the Cameronians were represented at the Funeral by Major-General F. K. G. Sixsmith. Comes together with a set of flying wings as well as copied research including census data, London Gazette entries and extracts from Mosquito and 2 Group History as well as a recommendation for award, Operations Record Book for 613 Squadron and a copied obituary.

His powers of endurance and concentration on reaching the target have not been appreciably affected, as he then executed vigorous and determined attacks the accuracy of which have been amply proved by the photographic evidence he has brought back. By such excellent results verifying the accuracy with which he presses home his attacks, it is evident that Flight Lieutenant Rhude goes through all enemy opposition, and lets nothing deter him from his primary objective.
