London Gazette 5.8.1916 Capt. (temp. Maj.) Lionel Wilmot Brabazon Rees, R.A. and R.F.C.For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. Whilst on flying duties, Major Rees sighted what he thought to be a bombing party of our own machines returning home. He went up to escort them, but on getting nearer discovered they were a party of enemy machines, about ten in all. Major Rees was immediately attacked by one of the machines, and after a short encounter it disappeared behind the enemy lines, damaged.Five others then attacked him at long range, but these he dispersed on coming to close quarters, after seriously damaging two of the machines. Seeing two others going westwards, he gave chase to them, but on coming nearer he was wounded in the thigh, causing him to lose temporary control of his machine. He soon righted it, and immediately closed with the enemy, firing at a close-contact range of only a few yards, until all his ammunition was used up. He then returned home, landing his machine safely in our lines.'O.B.E. London Gazette 3.6.1919 Lieut.-Colonel Lionel Wilmot Brabazon Rees, V.C., M.C., A.F.C. (R.G.A.)'In recognition of distinguished services rendered during the War.M.C. London Gazette 29.10.1915 Captain Lionel Wilmot Brabazon Rees, Royal Artillery and Royal Flying Corps.'For conspicuous gallantry and skill on several occasions, notably the following:On 21st September, 1915, when flying a machine with one machine gun, accompanied by Flight-Serjeant Hargreaves, he sighted a large German biplane with two machine guns 2,000 feet below him. He spiralled down and dived at the enemy, who, having the faster machine, manoeuvred to get him broadside on and then opened heavy fire. In spite of this Captain Rees pressed his attack and apparently succeeded in hitting the enemy's engine, for the machine made a quick turn, glided some distance and finally fell just inside the German lines near Herbecourt.On 28th July he attacked and drove down a hostile monoplane in spite of the fact that the main spar of his machine had been shot through and the rear spar shattered.On 31st August, accompanied by Flight-Serjeant Hargreaves, he fought a German machine more powerful than his own for three-quarters of an hour, then returned for more ammunition and went out to the attack again, finally bringing the enemy's machine down apparently wrecked.'A.F.C. London Gazette 2.11.1918 Lieut.-Col. Lionel Wilmot Brabazon Rees, V.C., M.C.

(77787), Royal Air Force.The Recommendation states: 'For the past two years Wing Commander Hallows has been responsible for planning the war organistation of the R.A.F. It has been his duty to convert operational plans into practical administrative possibilities. This has meant an enormous amount of troublesome, detailed work which, in a continuously changing situation, has been complicated and full of frustrations and disappointments. Nevertheless despite innumerable setbacks Wing Commander Hallows has preserved throughout an unshakable spirit and unbounded energy. The smooth and efficient manner in which large U.S.A.F. reinforcements were received into this country during the recent international crisis was very largely due to the careful, painstaking and thorough preliminary work which had been done by Wing Commander Hallows and the officers under him. Much of this was far beyond the duties normally expected of an officer of his rank and appointment and required considerable initiative. His exceptional efforts are deserving of recognition.'D.F.C. London Gazette 28.4.1942 Flight Lieutenant Brian Roger Wakefield Hallows (77787), Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, No. 97 Squadron'On the 17th April, 1942, a force of twelve Lancaster heavy bombers was detailed to deliver an attack in daylight on the diesel engine factory at Augsburg in Southern Germany. To reach this highly important military target, and return, a most daring flight of some 1,000 miles over hostile country was necessary. Soon after entering enemy territory and whilst flying at a very low level the force was engaged by 25 to 30 enemy fighters. Later, the most i

London Gazette 1.1.1918 Fireman James Henry Rich YabsleyThe Recommendation states: 'On the 19th January 1917, a very serious explosion took place at Silvertown. The West Ham Fire Brigade were summoned and on arriving with their engine were told to save themselves as they could do no good. Nevertheless, though well aware of the danger, they began to couple their hose. The explosion took place blowing away the engine. Sub-Officer Henry Vickers and Fireman Frederick Sell were killed, and Station Officer Samuel Betts, and Firemen James Betts, Henry Chapple, and James Yabsley were injured.'Chief Fire Officer James Henry Rich Yabsley, K.P.M., born Salcombe, Devon, February 1869; enlisted in the Royal Navy, March 1885; invalided out, February 1889; subsequently served in the Merchant Navy before joining the West Ham Fire Brigade; served throughout the Great War and present at the Silvertown Explosion, 19.1.1917, where his crew of six was the first to attend the chemical factory where fire had reached 50 tons of T.N.T.; seriously wounded in the head by the explosion, Yabsley was fitted with a silver plate in his crown for the rest of his life; subsequently appointed Chief Fire Officer at Penge. He retired in 1935The Silvertown ExplosionThe Brunner Mond Chemical Works was established at Crescent Wharf, Silvertown, East London in 1893 for the production of caustic soda. Production ceased in 1912 but the building remained. With the onset of the Great War and the huge demand for munitions, the plant was reactivated but was this time utilised for the purification of the high explosive T.N.T. On the evening of the 19th January 1917, a fire broke out in the factory. As the news spread, many living in the immediate area and knowing the nature of the plant fled. Others, like the plant’s chief chemist Andreas Angel (awarded a posthumous Edward Medal), knowing full well the danger they were in, rushed to tackle the blaze. Amongst the first on the scene were firemen from a nearby station, including amongst their number, Fireman James Yabsley.At 6.52 p.m. a huge explosion ripped through the factory, utterly destroying the place and devastating the surrounding area. The shock waves of the explosion were felt throughout London and the explosion heard over 100 miles away, and the resulting fires could be seen over 30 miles away. More than 900 homes were destroyed; a further 60,000 others were damaged to some degree; red hot metal was blasted far and

MILITARY MEDALS, The Rare and Important GSM and South Atlantic Medal Casualty Pair awarded to Staff Sergeant Sidney ‘Sid’ Davidson, ‘D’ Squadron, 22nd Special Air Service Regiment, late Parachute Regiment, who having fought in several key operations against Argentine forces during the Falklands War, including the capture of South Georgia and the Raid on Pebble Island, was tragically killed with 18 senior SAS NCOs and officers when their Sea King Helicopter crashed into the sea 19 May 1982 –the largest single loss to the regiment since WW2, comprising: General Service Medal, 1962-2007, 3 clasps, South Arabia, Dhofar, Northern Ireland (24057552 Pte. S. A. I. Davidson. Para.), South Atlantic Medal, 1982, with rosette (24057552 Ssgt S A I Davidson SAS); pair officially impressed, court mounted with reverse pin for wear, latter clasps attached unofficially with bar to second, third sewn in. A few light hairlines and minor bruise to first, otherwise nearly extremely fine, toned and extremely rare. (2) Sidney Albert Ivor Davidson was born 18 November 1947, and lived in Chepstow, Gwent. He joined the Parachute Regiment c.1970 before being selected for service with the Special Air Service in 1973. He served with the SAS in South Arabia, in Dhofar during Operation Storm, and in Northern Ireland. He was present during several key operations in the Falklands War as a member of ‘D’ Squadron, 22 SAS which took part in the capture of South Georgia at the very start of the British campaign, and is clearly present in the famous ‘D’ Squadron SAS photograph taken there (as shown on the front cover, back row, 4th from the left). He was also present during the important action at Pebble Island at the north of the Falkland Islands, where ‘D’ Squadron was deployed by helicopter to a position nearby to reconnoitre the Argentine land and air forces based at the strategic airstrip. The operation was superbly executed, as the SAS soldiers led by Captain Hamilton (with the support of shelling from HMS Glamorgan, HMS Hermes and HMS Broadsword) successfully disabled the airstrip, radar station, fuel and ammo dump, whilst also disabling or destroying 6 Argentine Pucara aircraft, four T-34C Mentors, and a Coast Guard Skyvan. Furthermore, they also forced the surrender of the Argentine garrison, thus taking control of the island. One noteworthy setback was the unfortunate discovery of a previously unknown minefield, where a member of his unit accidentally set off an anti-personnel mine, sending himself high into the air and leaving him dazed and lightly injured from shrapnel. In the aftermath, Sid Davidson helped to settle him, and carried him to safety before extraction. Despite these early successes, Staff Sergeant Davidson tragically died on Wednesday, 19 May 1982, when the 846 Squadron RAF Sea King 4 being used to transport his team from HMS Hermes to HMS Intrepid ditched into the sea, with reports of the cause varying between the widely accepted ‘birdstrike’ report as recorded in the national newspapers, and the less often reported suggestions of engine failure or a heavy impact between the ship and helicopter whilst landing in very rough seas. Tragically the Sea King hit the waves with a very hard impact, very quickly turning and sinking with just one wheel visible above the waves. In the aftermath of the crash, some 8 of the personnel aboard survived (including the two pilots), however 21 others died as a result of the incident, including 18 from the SAS, as follows: Cpl R E Armstrong, Sgt J L Arthy, WO M Atkinson, Cpl W J Begley, Sgt P A Bunker, Cpl R A Burns , Sgt P P Currass QGM, Sgt S A I Davidson, WO L Gallagher BEM, Sgt W C Hatton QGM, Sgt W J Hughes, Sgt P Jones, L/Cpl P N Lightfoot, Cpl M V McHugh, Cpl J Newton, S/Sgt P O’Connor, Cpl S J G Sykes, Cpl E T Walpole, and three other servicemen: Cpl M D Love DSM (Royal Marines), Cpl D F McCormack (Royal Signals),

MILITARY MEDALS, The Very Rare Queen’s Sudan Medal to Chief Engine Room Artificer S G Milton, Royal Navy, who served aboard Lieutenant David Beatty’s Nile Gunboat ‘El-Fateh’ during the expedition to Khartoum, one of only 46 such awards to the Royal Navy & Royal Marines Artillery, comprising: Queen’s Sudan Medal, 1896-1897, silver issue (128, 934, C.E.R. Artifr S. G. Milton. R.N.); officially engraved in sloping capitals. Dark old cabinet tone, surface contact marks and slight edge bruises, nearly very fine and rare. Whilst not as imposing as many larger vessels, the small flotilla of ten shallow-draught gunboats which supported Kitchener’s Anglo-Egyptian Force were seen as being of key tactical importance in securing the Nile itself and its cataracts, as well as by providing covering fire and support for the land-based forces ashore. Chief Engine Room Artificer S G Milton was present aboard the newly-built Nile Gunboat El-Fateh, commanded by the charismatic Lieutenant David Beatty RN in the expedition to Khartoum in 1897-8, and took part in the shelling of the city at Omdurman and the battle itself – with both flanks of the enemy harried by the gunboats. Sold with copy roll mentions confirming this award, and some other useful related articles, confirming this as a rare Royal Naval award for this medal issue.
