London Gazette 16 September 1918. The following recommendation is taken from The Tank Corps Honours and Awards 1916-1919, a shorter, redacted version of which was published in the London Gazette of the above date: ‘During the action near Villers-Bretonneux on April 24, 1918, this officer led his section of light tanks into action with the greatest gallantry and determination. Finding a large body of enemy drawn up ready to attack, he charged right into the midst of them, and by running them down and firing on them at point-blank range inflicted on them exceedingly heavy casualties. There is no doubt that this action completely disorganised two battalions of the enemy and prevented the attack developing in this sector during a very critical period. Later he rescued the crew of another tank, which had been put out of action, under heavy fire and at great personal risk. On April 25-26, 1918, he assisted in carrying out two valuable reconnaissances, on each occasion under heavy fire. Lieut. Elsbury has been previously brought to notice for fighting his tank with gallantry and initiative, especially at the Battle of Cambrai in November 1917.’ Arthur Elsbury served as a Private in the 1st South African Infantry, 7 October 1914-18 July 1915. He was commissioned into the 7th Battalion London Regiment on 24 June 1916. In January 1916 he was attached to the recently formed ‘C Battalion, Heavy Branch, Machine Gun Corps, which in June 1917 became the 3rd Battalion Tank Corps. He entered France in October 1916. He served as Tank Commander in 12 Section, ‘C’ Company of the Mark V Heavy 3rd Tank Battalion, fighting in Belgium and his service was brought to notice for fighting his tank with gallantry and initiative at Cambrai in November 1917. Promoted to Lieutenant in December 1917. As a Section Commander at the battle of Villers Brettoneux, April 1918, he earned his Military Cross. In the action, it is recorded that an attack by just six Whippet tanks on two German battalions resulted in at least 400 of the enemy killed. Sold with comprehensive research, including copied gazette, Medal Index Card, record of service, various metal and cloth insignia, a reprint of The Tank Corps Honours and Awards 1916-1919, and Tanks and Trenches, edited by David Fletcher, together with a ‘Tank Corps’ Christmas card 1918, inscribed, ‘To All at Home From Dad, 18.12.18’, and copied record of service for his brother below. William Henry Elsbury, brother of Arthur, was born in Broken Hill, New South Wales. A Clerk by occupation, he attested for the Australian Imperial Force at Brisbane on 14 December 1914. Posted to the 5th Company Army Service Corps, A.I.F., he embarked for active service abroad in April 1915, travelling on the Star of England. Was in Egypt in 1916 and was attached to the 1st Australian Light Horse Brigade in April 1916-August 1917. Admitted to hospital suffering from malaria in July 1917. Promoted to Sergeant in December 1918. Embarked at Kantara on H.T. Essex for Australia and demobilisation in February 1919.
Three: Private W. J. Meredith, South Wales Borderers, who was wounded at the siege of Tsingtao, North China, in November 1914 1914-15 Star (10535 Pte. W. J. Meredith. S. Wales Bord.); British War and Victory Medals (10535 Pte. W. J. Meredith. S. Wales Bord.) very fine (3) £140-£180 --- Walter J. Meredith was present in September 1914 with the 2nd Battalion, South Wales Borderers, stationed at China where they formed part of the international garrison at Tientsin. In September 1914 the Battalion, supported by half a Battalion of the 36th Sikhs, joined their Japanese allies in an expedition against the German occupied territory of Kiaochow and its port of Tsingtao. On 23 September the battalion’s embarkation of 22 officers and 910 men landed at Lao Shan Bay about forty miles N.E of Tsingtao and began the difficult trek to the well fortified main German settlement on Kiaochau Bay which was the object of the expeditionary force. Casualties were generally light although the extremely arduous conditions and bad weather caused them great discomfort. The nights of 5 and 6 November, however, brought the battalion heavier casualties than it had yet suffered and it likely that Meredith was wounded on one of these days. Brigadier-General Nathaniel Barnardiston, Commanding Tsingtau Expeditionary Force gave the following details in his third Despatch: ‘On the 5th November I was ordered to prepare a Third Position of attack on the left bank of the river. This line was to a great extent enfiladed on both flanks by No. 1 and 2 redoubts, especially the latter from which annoying machine-gun fire was experienced. The bed of the river (a small stream running over a broad bed of sand) had also to be crossed, and in doing so the working parties of the 2nd Battalion South Wales Borderers suffered somewhat severely, losing 8 non-commissioned officers and men killed and 24 wounded.’ The siege was soon brought to a successful conclusion with the assistance of an assault by Japanese forces present and the white flag went up on 7 November 1914, giving the Regiment the unique distinction of a battle honour held by no other British Regiment. The Battalion’s losses overall had been just 14 men killed or died of wounds or disease, and 2 officers and 34 men wounded. Private W. J. Meredith is confirmed in the official list of casualties reported from North China, under date 25 November 1914. He later served with the Labour Corps in France and was discharged on 11 March 1919. Sold with research.
Three: Lieutenant J. B. MacBrayne, 17th Battalion, Highland Light Infantry, who was killed in action on the first day of the Battle of the Somme, 1 July 1916, on which date the Battalion suffered over 450 casualties 1914-15 Star (Lieut. J. B. MacBrayne High: L.I.); British War and Victory Medals (Lieut J. B. MacBrayne.); Memorial Plaque (John Burns MacBrayne), with Buckingham Palace enclosure, all mounted in a glazed display frame, verdigris to Star, otherwise extremely fine (4) £600-£800 --- John Burns MacBrayne was born in Glasgow on 13 December 1896, the son of Lieutenant-Commander Laurence MacBrayne, R.N.V.R., and was educated at Aldenham School. Volunteering for service following the outbreak of the Great War he was commissioned Lieutenant in the 17th (Chamber of Commerce) Battalion, Highland Light Infantry on 10 September 1914, and served with “A” Company during the Great War on the Western Front from 22 November 1915. Appointed Reserve Machine Gun Officer, the Battalion War Diary records that he was slightly wounded on the head by shrapnel on 11 February 1916, when the Battalion was relieving the 11th Borders Regiment in the trenches. MacBrayne was killed in action on the first day of the Battle of the Somme on 1 July 1916, on which date the Battalion, as part of 97th Brigade, 32nd Division, was involved in an attack on the Leipzig Salient. Leading the assault with the 16th Battalion H.L.I., the leading companies moved out from the front line at 7:23 a.m., creeping forward to within 30 or 40 yards of the German front line. At 7:30 a.m. they rushed forward, overran the German front line, and obtained possession of the Leipzig Redoubt. They quickly moved on towards the Hindenburg Trench but heavy fire from the Wonder Work brought the assault to a standstill, and they were forced to retired to Crucifix Corner. Total casualties suffered by the Battalion that day were 469. His Colonel subsequently wrote: ‘He died in the most gallant manner, encouraging his men to hold on to a position we had just captured….. I must tell you how well he did his duty.’ He is buried at Serre Road Cemetery No. 2., France. Sold together with a large pencil and crayon portrait of the recipient, mounted in a glazed display frame. For the O.B.E. attributed to the recipient’s father, see Lot 55.
A Second War 1943 Wellington and Lancaster Rear Gunner’s D.F.C., and rare Netherlands Bronze Cross for Arnhem group of six awarded to Gunnery Leader Flight Lieutenant W. R. ‘Bob’ Chalk, Royal Air Force. His first operational sortie was the first 1,000 Bomber Raid to Cologne, 30 May 1942, followed two days later by a trip to Essen, when he shot down a night fighter. Having flown in the daylight raids to Le Creusot and Milan Chalk undertook Special Operations with 299 Squadron to S.O.E. and S.A.S. operatives in Northern France, August 1944. He flew as Gunnery Leader for 299 Squadron with Wing Commander P. B. N. Davis for Operation Market, and was shot down and taken prisoner of war over Arnhem, 19 September 1944 Distinguished Flying Cross, G.VI.R., reverse officially dated ‘1943’; 1939-45 Star; Air Crew Europe Star, 1 clasp, France and Germany; Defence and War Medals 1939-45, with M.I.D. oak leaf; Netherlands, Kingdom, Bronze Cross, with Caterpillar Club badge, in gold with ‘ruby’ eyes, reverse engraved ‘F/Lt. W. R. Chalk’, mounted as worn, generally good very fine (6) £4,000-£5,000 --- D.F.C. London Gazette 15 June 1943. The original Recommendation, dated 27 April 1943, states: ‘This Officer has set the highest possible standard by his ability and efficiency throughout an operational tour of 23 sorties. His conduct throughout has been outstanding and all gunners in the Squadron have been influenced by his fine example. His operations have included two attacks on Berlin and many against other heavily defended targets in the Ruhr. He also took part in the famous daylight attacks on Le Creusot and Milan. On his second operational sortie his accurate fire commentary enabled his pilot to manoeuvre the aircraft and thus allow this Officer to destroy an enemy night fighter. On every one of his sorties he has shown the same high degree of skill and co-operation with the rest of his crew. He is strongly recommended for the award of the D.F.C.’ M.I.D. London Gazette 1 January 1942. Netherlands, Bronze Cross London Gazette 2 September 1949 The original Recommendation, dated 2 November 1945, states: ‘Whilst on this Squadron F/Lt. Chalk proved himself a brilliant leader, and welded his gunners into a highly efficient team. He took part in a number of sorties in support of resistance movements. In September, 1944, he flew as gunner on the leading aircraft engaged in the Airborne Operations at Arnhem. His persistence and courage in the face of fierce enemy opposition set a fine example to his comrades in the Squadron. Whilst engaged in a re-supply mission to Arnhem, his aircraft was severely damaged by flak and set on fire. In spite of this, F/Lt. Chalk continued firing on the enemy ground positions until finally ordered to abandon aircraft by his captain. He landed amongst the enemy and was taken prisoner. For his high example of courage and determination in the face of the enemy F/Lt. Chalk well merits the award of the Bronze Cross.’ Approximately 8 Dutch Bronze Crosses were awarded to R.A.F. and R.A.F.V.R. personnel in recognition of gallant actions undertaken during the Second War, 7 of that number were awarded for Arnhem, and 3 of them were awarded to Chalk’s crew. William Robert ‘Bob’ Chalk was born in Porthcawl, Glamorgan, in 1913. He was educated at Claysmore School, Winchester, and was articled to a firm of auctioneers in Bromsgrove. He left the firm shortly after joining, and having been turned down for a commission in the R.A.F. on medical grounds Chalk emigrated aged 17 to Nova Scotia. Whilst in Canada Chalk had a farming accident, as a result of which he broke his arm and suffered lung damage. He was forced to return to the UK, and subsequently enlisted in the Royal Air Force in June 1935. After training and a brief posting to 101 Squadron Chalk was sent overseas to Air H.Q., Signals Section, Habbaniya, Iraq, in 1938. He was present during the Iraqi uprising, 30 April 1941 - 31 May 1941, and once the latter had been put down Chalk volunteered for Aircrew training as an Air Gunner. He was posted to No. 24 Combined Air Observer/Air Gunner School, Moffat, in August 1941, and was commissioned Pilot Officer in December of the same year. After several more training courses Chalk was posted to ´D´ Flight 25 O.T.U., Bircotes, in May 1942, and it was from here that he took part in his first operational sorties, the first of which being as a Rear Gunner in a Wellington engaged in the first 1,000 bomber raid to Cologne, 30 May 1942. The second sortie was in the same capacity to Essen, 1 June 1942, ‘Operations - To Essen Shot Down German Night Fighter - Confirmed’ (Log Book refers). Chalk offers more detail, ‘I sighted the enemy aircraft at a distance, closing in on a straight course towards my aircraft and waiting for him to get close enough for me to fire and not wanting him to deviate from our course. I finally fired and he went down in flames. (personal account included in lot refers). After an aborted trip to Bremen Chalk was posted to 61 Squadron (Lancasters), at Syerston, in July 1942. He flew two operational sorties as Mid Upper Gunner (Wilhelmshaven and Kassel) before flying the rest of his tour as a Rear Gunner, these included: Nurnburg; Gardening-Denmark (2); Karlsruhe; 17 October 1942, Le Creusot (Daylight); Genoa (2); 24 October 1942, Milan (Daylight); Turin (2); Mannheim; Munich; Essen; Berlin (2); Dusseldorf; Hamburg (2), and Bremen. Chalk was posted as Rear Gunner/Instructor to 81 O.T.U., Whitchurch Heath, in March 1943. He returned to operational flying when he was posted as Gunnery Leader to 299 Squadron (Stirlings), Keevil, in August 1944. Chalk flew in operational sorties with the Squadron as Rear Gunner in the Officer Commanding´s (Wing Commander P.B.N. Davis, D.S.O.) Stirling. Throughout August he flew on Special Operations to SOE and SAS groups based in France, including 6 August 1944, ‘Special Operation. 24 Containers, 5 Bicycles. D.C.O. A/C Hit by Light Flak Nr. Le Mont Michel’; 11 September 1944, ‘SAS Operations Holland’; 12 September 1944, ‘SAS Operations Nr. Bordeaux.’ (Log Book refers) Operation Market Garden On 17 September 1944 Chalk´s squadron took part in Operation Market, the airborne element of Operation Market Garden. On the first day of the operation Chalk´s Stirling towed a glider carrying airborne troops and motor transport which was successfully released over Landing Zone ´Z´. The following day saw another successful release of a similarly laden glider over the same landing zone. On 19 September Stirling LK135 5GN returned on a resupply mission carrying containers of petrol in the bomb-bay, ‘the Stirlings suffered the same punishment when it was their turn to drop, and six were shot down or were so badly damaged that they crashed soon afterwards. One was the aircraft of Wing Commander Peter Davis, the Commanding Officer of 299 Squadron. He died at the controls of his Stirling when the containers of petrol in the bomb-bay caught fire after the aircraft was hit.’ (Arnhem - 1944: The Airborne Battle refers). Davis’ co-pilot for the mission takes up the account, “The approach to the dropping area” says Squadron Leader R.W. Lovegrove, flying in the aircraft piloted by Wing Commander Peter Davis, in command of the Operations, “was rather a disconcerting spectacle. Flak was simply being pumped up; heavy flak, light flak, machine-gun fire and rifle fire.” Having watched a Stirling go down in flames, they reached the dropping zone where they were at once hit in the bomb-bay by a shell. “As we were carrying petrol, ...

1960 Morris Minor 1000 Cotswold Blue, 64 000. The Morris first registered on 4th February 1960, engine number 9.M.U.H 401469, VIN/Chassis nr M/AS.3792663, two owners from new, with current owner since October 1968 and subject to professional restoration and ideal project for someone who wants to add the finishing touches. Background: First registered in February 1960, purchased by ourselves in October 1968. It appeared to have been a one owner Cheltenham based car, undersealed from new, with an odometer reading of 53100 miles. It had recently had a top overhaul and piston service, and was generally in sound condition. It was purchased for use as a second car, and was used as such (by my ex-wife) until mid 1969 (mainly in the garage at the family home) mileage 64100 miles and kept in reserve as a spare car. At this stage oil was injected into the cylinders to prevent corrosion and the motor hand cranked periodically. This continued until around 2012, when it needed to be moved and the decision was taken to re-build it. It was trailered to a professional body shop, where the bodyshell was dismantled, the glass, doors bonnet and boot removed. Four new (genuine) wings were fitted, the front two were showing the characteristic signs of corrosion along the rear edge, the back two had both had minor scrapes. After extensive preparation (the original paint was still in good, but faded, condition) and correctly repainted in the original blue colour. All of the new work was then stone chip painted to give further protection, the windscreen replaced (old was scratched) and rear window, both with new seals, and the car trailered back to its (current new) garage for final assembly in 2014 (brake service, electrical reconnections, interior upgrade and detailing. Outstanding works: The 'fits' of the various openings, doors etc. need to be finally adjusted. The original leather upholstery is basically sound, but the stitching on some of the panels needs to be redone and the cushion material replaced. New carpet sets readily available. It was the intention to replace the wheel and master cylinders (and maybe some of the rubber hoses) simply because of their age (genuine parts readily available) Routine lubrication service and battery, wiper blades etc.Service History: October 1968 - change of oils, new filter, wiper blades, gearchange grommet. New Michelin tyre.December 1968 - grease, replace top water hose and heater hoses. Change engine oil, new brake hoses, overall starter, replace O/s/r bulb.January 1969 - Fit new clutch and carbon thrust bearing.April 1969 - Replace battery, general light service, new air filter. July 1969 - Engine oil change service, from the mid 1970's laid up to date until 2014 it had two new tyres fitted. Kindly provided by the current owner.
