*A Boer War Pair awarded to Private James Calderwood, 2nd Battalion Seaforth Highlanders, comprising: Queen’s South Africa, 1899-1902, 2nd type reverse with ghosted dates, 3 clasps, Cape Colony, Orange Free State, Transvaal (6712 Pte J. Calderwood, 2: Sea: Highrs:); King’s South Africa, 1901-1902, 2 clasps, South Africa 1901, South Africa 1902 (6712 Pte J. Calderwood. Seaforth Highrs:); with two handsome regimental prize medals for Cricket, both hallmarked for Birmingham and engraved with the recipient’s name for ‘Cricket Shield’ prizes in 1904 and 1907;lightly toned, once polished, about very fine (4). Private James Calderwood was born c.1880 in Perth, Scotland, and had previously worked as a Cabinet Marker. He joined the Seaforth Highlanders on 2 September 1899, and served in the Anglo-Boer War of 1899-1902. His name is recorded in the ‘Military History of Perthshire’ which includes a portrait photograph of the recipient in uniform, and confirms his service and medal entitlement (also confirmed in the rolls). He continued to serve until 1 September 1911, having completed 12 years with the colours. This group offered with copied attestation papers.

A Great War Pair & Memorial Plaque awarded to Private James Sydney Swinden, 2nd Battalion Cheshire Regiment, killed in action during the Salonika Campaign on the first day of the offensive at Kumli, the 15th of April 1918, where the 2nd Cheshires suffered 50% casualties, comprising: British War and Victory Medals (315439 Pte. J. S. Swindon. Ches. R.); Memorial Plaque (James Sydney Swinden); With original memorial certificate, portrait photo in uniform, and contemporary memorial poster. Private James Sydney Swinden was born in 1896 in Horley, Surrey, and he enlisted for Great War service with the 2nd Battalion Cheshire Regiment at Camberwell, London. He was present with this battalion in Salonika, where he was killed in action on 15 of April 1918. This date coincides with a fierce offensive launched on the evening of 14/15 April in the face of vastly superior Bulgarian numbers near the Struma River in and around the village of Kumli – just 50 miles to the northeast of Thessalonika. Consolidating their position around Kumli, with outposts near Kjupri and Barakli, they repelled numerous bayonet attacks and bomb attacks, and endured sustained sniping and shelling. The 2nd Cheshires suffered roughly 50% casualties, and only after 3 days of fighting were they relieved. It would appear that Private Swinden died on the first day of the offensive, and his name is commemorated at the Doiran Memorial. Extremely fine or better, tiny verdigris spots to plaque (3)

An Interesting WW2 ‘Battle of France’ Air Force Cross Group of 4 awarded to Flight-Lieutenant Alfred James Hartley, Royal Air Force, who served as a Sergeant with the British Expeditionary Force in Northern France at the time of the evacuations at Dunkirk in June 1940. Continuing to serve for 12 days after then final boats left Dunkirk, his unit was evacuated on 16 June some 12 days later. He later served as an ‘exceptional’ Senior Flying Instructor with No.3 Flying Training School in Airspeed ‘Oxford’ aircraft, for which he was awarded the A.F.C., comprising: Air Force Cross, G.VI.R, reverse engraved to lower terminal of cross ‘1944’; 1939-1945 Star; Defence and War Medals; Offered with 3 original log books, the first of which records ‘1st, 2nd & 3rd logbooks lost in evacuation from France June 1940’, medals court-mounted on board for display, toned extremely fine. A.F.C.: London Gazette: 01 September 1944 (Original recommendation states: ‘Total Instruction hours – 2000; completed during last six months – 358. This Officer has been a Flying Instructor with the Unit since its formation in 1942 and has commanded a Flight for the past 18 months. He has set a fine example to other Instructors and has run his Flight very efficiently. He is conscientious and reliable.’) Flight Lieutenant Alfred James Hartley was born 7 March at Ambala, India, and lived at 52 Wilton Road, Salisbury, Wiltshire. He joined the RAF on 1 October 1929, joining No.4 Flight Training School. On 1 July 1930 he was assigned to No.9 (Bomber) Squadron, with whom he served until March 1935. After further training and service with the School of Naval Cooperation he went to France with the British Expeditionary Force on 10 October 1939. It was during this time in France that the B.E.F.’s supporting R.A.F. units fought doggedly to defend its ground troops in the face of almost overwhelming German air superiority. Whilst Hartley’s first 3 logbooks were lost during his unit’s evacuation on 16 June 1940, it would appear from this given evacuation date in his 4th logbook that he was likely serving with the A.A.S.F. (Advanced Air Striking Force). This force, equipped with Fairey Battle and Blenheim IV light-bomber aircraft were no match for the faster and more advanced German fighters, and suffered very heavy losses whilst trying to harry the advancing German Army. After playing a largely underappreciated role during the Dunkirk evacuations, a number of R.A.F. units continued to fight for some weeks later until they were also evacuated between 13-16 June, with Hartley probably amongst the many R.A.F. personnel evacuated from Brest. After these events, he returned to Britain and served largely in a training capacity. Hartley was rapidly promoted first to Warrant Officer on 11 April 1941, to Pilot Officer, to Flying Officer on 1 October 1941. He became an ‘exceptional’ flying instructor (as noted in his log books) to the many new recruits joining the R.A.F. who were in great demand to serve in its rapidly increasing ranks. New pilots continued to be in great demand throughout the war, as casualties mounted during the great bombing raids over Germany. Alfred James Hartley was awarded the Air Force Cross for his work as a Senior Flying Instructor on 1 September 1944, now at the rank of Flight-Lieutenant. He eventually retired at his own request on 29 September 1947. This lot offered with 3 log books covering his career after June 1940, an original portrait photograph, Application for Pilot’s Licence, and other useful research.

*An Interesting ‘Operation Market Garden’ Arnhem Casualty G.S.M. with Palestine Clasp awarded to Sergeant Frank Herbert Chesson, Army Air Corps, late Royal East Kent ‘Buffs’. He was killed in action during an ambush whilst commanding a section of No. 4 Platoon of the 10th Parachute Battalion, 6 miles from Arnhem on 19 September 1944. He was awarded an M.i.D. for Palestine, reputedly for service in connection with the Palestine Police, and may have served as Major-General Roy Urquhart’s bodyguard, comprising: General Service Medal, 1918-62, single clasp, Palestine (6285440 Pte. F. H. Chesson. A.A.C.), second digit of service number and unit officially re-impressed, toned extremely fine. M.i.D.: London Gazette: 13.01.1944 – ‘in recognition of gallant and distinguished services in the Middle East.’ Sergeant Frank Herbert Chesson was born c.1914 in Kent, and initially joined the Army for service in the Royal East Kent Regiment (The Buffs). Having served in Palestine with the 1st Battalion Buffs, where he may have played a role with the Palestine Police, for which he reputedly earned a Mention in Despatches (this as yet unconfirmed) he later transferred to the Army Air Corps (later the Parachute Regiment). Research suggests that he may have served as bodyguard to Major-General Robert ‘Roy’ Urquhart before Operation Market Garden, with the nickname ‘Crankie Frankie’, and that he may possibly have had some LRDG / SAS involvement. During Operation Market Garden he served in the 10th Parachute Battalion, and commanded No.4 Platoon, landing by Glider at Ginkel Heath. Whilst details are scant, the 9 men in his group appear to have been ambushed and killed instantly alongside the Amsterdamseweg, beside the 6 mile marker from Arnhem. He and his comrades were there given a field burial, before later being re-interred at the Arnhem Oosterbeek War Cemetery. Chesson’s name is confirmed on the roll for the G.S.M. with Palestine clasp, but it does not appear in the book ‘The SAS and LRDG Roll of Honour 1941-47’ by Ex-Lance-Corporal X, Q.G.M. Concerning the re-impressed unit on the medal, it is quite understandable that the unit may have been amended to reflect his later service either prior or after issue. His portrait photo clearly shows a riband bar with ribbons for the GSM and Africa Star only.

Germany, A WWI Iron Cross and Memorial Cup Pair with original citation card, comprising: Imperial, Iron Cross, 2nd Class, dated 1914, in silver and iron, with ‘M’ mark on suspension ring; A named and engraved 800 silver Memorial Cup and original citation & photo card, engraved ‘Sebastian Hofer 13 April 1918; Also offered with ‘Sterebild’ citation card & portrait picture, confirming the recipient as Sebastian Hofer, 2nd Reserve Infantry Regiment, killed in action on 13 April 1918 by an artillery shell, at the age of 37 years and 4 months old. Medal good very fine, cup somewhat unevenly toned, very fine or better, and rare (2). Many such ‘Ehren Pokal’ cups were sold for scrap during the post WWI depression in Germany, and as such they are rare to the market, particularly when offered with the original ‘Sterebild’ citation. The above recipient was also entitled to the military merit cross, as noted on the card. The 2nd Reserve Infantry Regiment appears to have been part of the 3rd Reserve Division, which at the time of Sebastian Hofer’s death is recorded as having been positioned in a trench system to the north of Ailette, France, near the Chemin Des Dames in the Aisne area.

The Great War ‘Longueval & Delville Wood’ Interest Trio & Memorial Plaque awarded to Sergeant John Harris Marlowe, 3rd Battalion, Rifle Brigade, who was killed in action on 1 September 1916 at Longueval, being ‘hit whilst taking his gun into action’ and who as recorded by his battalion Chaplain Rev. Arthur Buxton ‘refused to go back, although unable to keep up with his men’, with small archive of photos and material. He had in civilian life been Valet and Butler to Mr Drabble of Brockhurst Hall, comprising: 1914-15 Star (Z-1461 Pte J. H. Marlowe. Rif: Brig:); British War and Victory Medals (Z-1461 Cpl. J. H. Marlowe. Rif. Brig.); Memorial Plaque (John Harris Marlowe). Sergeant John Harris Marlowe was born c.1883 at Basingstoke, near London. Working as a Footman and Butler, he saw service in and around Cheshire with Lady Delamere, Mr W. H. Verdin of Darnhall Hall, and latterly under Mr Drabble at Brockhurst Hall. He joined the Rifle Brigade on 3 September 1914, seeing service on the Western Front from February 1915. He was wounded at the Battle of Hill 60 during a fall into a large artillery crater. Having returned to the Front after his recovery, he was later killed on 1 September 1916 during the Battalion’s attack to retake Trenches lost to the East of Delville Wood, and suffered heavy casualties. His battalion’s Chaplain, the Reverend Arthur Buxton recorded his death later in a letter to the family, offered with this lot: “It is with deepest regret that I have to tell of bad news, respecting Corporal, or rather, Sergeant, Marlow. He was in an attack on Sept 1st, and was hit while taking his gun into action. He refused to go back, although unable to keep up with his men, he followed them as best he could. His men, of course had to go on, and the next they knew, was when some returned next morning, and found him dead, dear fellow. It is heartrending, but it was a “noble” ending, to a splendid life, few men, would have carried on as he did, after being hit.” Offered with portrait photographs, letter in full as above, newspaper cuttings, memorial scroll, postcards etc., in a surprisingly complete and fascinating WWI group. His name is commemorated on the Thiepval Memorial. Trio extremely fine, plaque well-polished (3)

A Great War Trio & Memorial Plaque awarded to Private John Henry Smith, 17th Battalion (Glamorgan Bantams) Welsh Regiment, who was killed in action on 25 November 1917 – the last day of the 40th Division’s offensive to take Bourlon Wood – the ‘Butchery at Bourlon’, after which the Battalion ‘ceased to exist’ comprising: 1914-15 Star (14226 Pte J. H. Smith. Welsh. R.); British War and Victory Medals (14226 Pte. J. H. Smith. Welsh R.); Memorial Plaque (John Henry Smith). Old cabinet tone, good extremely fine (4). Private John Henry Smith, of 156 Broadway, Cardiff, Wales, was killed in action whilst serving with the 17th Battalion ‘Glamorgan Bantams’ – this one of the new ‘Pals’ regiment created during WWI. He was killed on 25 November 1917, which was the final day of the attack upon Bourlon Wood. Fighting as part of the 40th Division, and in support of newly unleashed tanks, the three day attack was successful, but resulted in ‘the appalling figure of over 4,000 casualties (after which they) symbolically took the acorn as their divisional sign after their ordeal’. The battalion was later that day considered to have ‘ceased to exist’ and the few survivors were absorbed elsewhere. The 17th Welsh Regiment lost 18 Officers and 301 other ranks, earning 8 Military Crosses, 4 D.C.M.s, and 15 M.M.s. Private Smith’s name is recorded on the Cambrai Memorial, France, and he was mentioned in various local newspapers with a small portrait photo.

James Tassie: two 18th century bust length paste portrait medallions, the first of Dr John Hunter 1791, the other of Dr William Cullen MD 1786, impressed T, each 9.4cm oval in moulded ebonised frames Other Notes: James Tassie was born in Pollokshaws, near Glasgow, in 1735. Of Italian descent, he worked as a stonemason before moving to Glasgow to study art. He then moved to Dublin and became an assistant to Dr Quin and together they invented the white enamel composition. Exhibiting at the Royal Academy in 1769-1791 and at the time of death in 1799, his work was said to number 20,000 pieces. Dr John Hunter (1729-1793) was the founder of Scientific Surgery and this portrait may have been commissioned when he was made Surgeon General in 1791. Dr William Cullen (1710-1790) was a physician, chemist and agriculturalist and was one of the most important professors at the Edinburgh Medical School.

The pilots depicted - several referred to by their nicknames - are as follows:First PaintingCharlie: Dubbed "Polish Charlie", most probably Sgt. Karol Michalkiewicz, born 1921, joined 610 Squadron on 21 November 1941 from 316 (The City of Warsaw Polish Squadron) . Left 610 on 3 April 1943. No information about his subsequent service but it seems that he stayed in Britain after the War and died in Birmingham on 27 September 1988.Stewie: P/O Andrew Stewart Barrie was educated at Harrow, studied law and trained in Canada. Shot down and killed on 22 June 1943 aged 25 whilst on a "Ramrod" escorting mission over Rotterdam. Fighter Pilots intensely disliked Ramrod duties which involved escorting bombers to ground level targets in daylight hours at slow speed . He is buried in the Hook of Holland General Cemetery.Doug: F/Lt. Douglas Owen Collinge, DFC. On his second appointment to 610 Squadron he became one of two Flight Commanders to his Commanding Officer Johnnie Johnson. Prior to co-joining 610 on 4 September 1942 he had been recommended for the DFC and received his medal from the King at Buckingham Palace on 20 November 1942. Shot down and killed in Cayeux on 21 April 1943.Feathers: Squadron Leader W A Laurie, DFC. A Liverpudlian, he joined 610 on 8 September 1942 and became one of the Flight Commanders. Succeeded Johnnie Johnson as Commanding Officer of 610 from March 1943 until January 1944. He retired from the RAF in 1961.Johnnie: Squadron Leader James Edgar "Johnnie" Johnson , DFC and Bar, had been officially posted to 610 Squadron as its Commanding Officer on 13 July 1942 and remained in that position until 19 March 1943, when, concurrently being promoted to Wing Commander, he left to take command of the Canadian wing comprising 403 and 416 Squadrons at Kenley.During his eight months as 610's Commanding Officer there were innumerable changes to the pilot personnel in the squadron for various reasons, not least numerous casualties. His time at 610 was a difficult one for the squadron, particularly because the Mk V Spitfires with which they were equipped were no match for the German Focke-Wolf Fw B190 fighters which were very formidable machines. 610 was also heavily involved in the Dieppe raid on 19 August 1942 which was a disaster for the ground forces and not much less dire for all of the squadrons of Fighter Command involved. On that operation Johnson came perilously close to being shot down.Arnt: 2nd Lt. Arnt Hvinden. A Norwegian, who was a Civil pilot before the War and who had been awarded the Norwegian King's Medalie for gallantry during operations in Norway. Born 1917. Instructed in Canada prior to joining 610 Squadron on 20 January 1943 and posted elsewhere (by then a Captain) 12 September 1943. Died 1987.South: P/O Southwell C Creagh, Australian, Joined 610 on 3 April 1942 and was the squadron's "Eye" who could spot German fighters before the other pilots. Shot down over the sea, 19 August 1942. Rescued and returned to 610. In early September 1942 he was credited, jointly with Sgt. Greggory, with shooting down the first Messerschmitt Me 210 to be downed over mainland England. Gerry: Lt. Gerry Volkhersz, Royal Netherlands Naval Air Service. Joined 610 February 1943, left March 1943 to join the Fleet Air Arm. Living in Germiston, South Africa, in 1987. Died 1994.Sammy: F/O George Samuel Malton, a Canadian and one of the Squadron's youngest pilots. Joined 610 26 August 1942. Shot down and killed 28 March 1943 while escorting American bombers near Fecamp. Ironically, he should not even have been flying on that day as he was still on sick leave with a broken jaw following a fight in the Regent Palace Hotel, London, with American servicemen.Second PaintingMike: Sgt. H Dallow had been in the Durham Light Infantry during the retreat from Dunkirk and subsequently transferred to the RAF. Nothing is known about this pilot's subsequent service or life.Reg: F/O Pearson, a former rear-gunner in Coastal Command, who saw action at Dunkirk and in the Far East before training as a pilot, and then became an instructor. Nothing is known about this pilot's subsequent service or life.Dave: P/O Alan Hubert Davidson was in the Buffs before transferring to the RAF. Joined 610 from 521 Squadron on 29 January 1943 and posted elsewhere on 5 May 1943. Born Putney in 1917.Doris: F/Lt. Peter Pound, a fighter pilot in Libya early in the War, was wounded and joined 610 on 19 February 1943. No more is known about this pilot's subsequent service or life.Jeff: P/O Jeffrey Martin Cremer. Joined 610 on 23 February 1943. Killed aged 19 on his first operational flight 14 March 1943 when he stalled his Spitfire over Bognor and crashed in the sea.Paddy: Probably Sgt. (later F/O) J G A Small, a fiery Irishman from Limerick with a particular penchant for blowing up steam engines. Joined 610 in January 1942. Posted from 610 Squadron to Montrose, Scotland, 19 January 1944 for an Instructor's Course.Hoppy: F/Lt. Colin G Hodgkinson. Joined 610 from 131 Squadron on 20 January 1943, having previously been in the Fleet Air Arm. He had lost both legs at the age of 19 in a Fleet Air Arm flying accident but, inspired by Douglas Bader, was determined that this would not keep him from flying. Dai:F/Sgt. Dai T Jones was formerly a docker's foreman. Joined 610 on 28 August 1942. Promoted to P/O on 18 May 1943. Transferred from 610 on 19 January 1944.Willie: F/Lt. P I Howard-Williams, DFC, a regular RAF officer who had been in action during the retreat from Dunkirk. Awarded the DFC in November 1941, thereafter joining 610 on 22 February 1943. He was a regular RAF Officer who had been in action at Dunkirk. Transferred in April 1943 but returned to 610 June-November 1943. After the War he remained in the RAF until retiring as a Squadron Leader in 1958. He bought the Pandora Inn at Restronguet in Cornwall. He retired to Spain from 1979-1991 and died in England in 1993. His brother Jeremy was also a fighter pilot and was also awarded the DFC but was killed in 1940.Olive Snell (1888-1962) married Colonel Ebenezer Leckie Pike, CBE, MC, of Dale Park, Arundel, Sussex Born in Durban, South Africa Lived in London and Petersfield, Hampshire Olive Snell studied under Boris Anrep and Augustus John, and exhibited at the Goupil Gallery, Fine Art Society, Grosvenor Gallery and the New English Art Club, Portrait Painters, the Royal Institute of Oil Painters and The Society of Women ArtistsOlive Snell was related to Hugh "Cocky" Dundas (later Group Captain Sir Hugh Dundas, DSO and Bar, DFC) who was Johnson's great friend in the war and indeed his best man at his wedding, so it is possible that it was through this connection that Olive Snell came to be asked to paint these portraits, although she is believed to have done similar pilot portraits of 610 Squadron in 1941..Olive Snell's work is in the Imperial War Museum, London.

English School (19th Century) Portrait of Lieutenant Arthur Boulnois (1830-1852), in the undress / mess kit of the Bengal Engineers, circa 1850 pastel 60 x 50cm (23 x 20in) Provenance: By descent within the family of the sitter Arthur Boulnois was killed on 14th January 1852, shot by the Momunds, in the Michenee territory, Punjab, while riding near the Fort of Dubb. Arthur Boulnois, Lieutenant Bengal Engineers, was the second son of William Boulnois, Esq., of St. John's Wood, London, in his 22nd year. Lieutenant Boulnois is buried at Fort Michni, India. His plaque reads: "Sacred to the memory of Arthur Boulnois who was killed near the fort of Michnee by a band of Momunds on 12 January 1852, chivalrous, accomplished and full of promise, this tablet was erected by comrades who esteemed him while living and sorrow at his loss, his remains lie buried in the ramparts of Fort Michnee".

§ Gilbert Gardiner (British, 20th Century) Portrait of an Officer oil on canvas 60 x 49cm (23 x 19in) Other Notes: The present portrait is of an officer in the rank of Lieutenant.; he is wearing the 1916-2015 pattern of Service Dress. Judging from his lack of medal ribbons, this officer was commissioned after World War I and the portrait was painted before World War II. He may be an officer in the British Indian Army - looking through all the cap badges for the British Indian Army and the closest - but not exact - match is The Madras Regiment, formed in 1758 and still in existence.

W T Roden (British, exh. 1880-1916) Portrait of Lieutenant Joseph Parkes in uniform oil on canvas, 90 x 70 cm Other Notes: The portrait is of Lieutenant Joseph Parkes, a Regular Commission Officer who joined the York & Lancaster Regiment in 1914 before the outbreak of hostilities, fought through WW1 and resigned his Commission in 1922. At the start of the war the York and Lancaster had two Battalions; the 1st Bn did not go to France until mid-1915 whereas the 2nd Bn was in France in 1914. Parkes was is the 1st Bn and had been promoted to Lieutenant, as depicted in the portrait, which was painted (as was the custom) before he sailed for war. Lieutenant Parkes is wearing the 1908-1916 pattern of British Army officer's Service Dress uniform; before 1908 the uniform had a closed collar and, after 1916, badges of rank were worn on the shoulder straps not the sleeve. Parkes is wearing the cap badge and collar dogs of The York & Lancaster Regiment. The background in the portrait looks like the Yorkshire Moors, which fits with the cap badge and the collar dogs. We are grateful to Christopher Joll for his assistance with the catalogue entry. The painting is in oil on a canvas support which has been lined. In the area of the sitter's shirt is an old tear which has been mended, filled and retouched. The texture in this area is uneven but the retouching is fairly well matched but glossy. There are other areas of retouching across the painting. There is a thin layer of varnish present, the surface is semi-matte. The frame has some areas of loss to the gilded and gesso surface. Inscribed on the reverse: By W T Roden / Lt Parkes".

Attributed to Reginald Easton (British, 1807-1893) Lieutenant William Campbell (1819-1858), wearing the uniform of an Officer of the Grenadier Company of the 39th Bengal Native Infantry, his scarlet coatee with gold lace, gold shoulder wings and the Punniar Star watercolour on ivory, oval 10 cm (3.94in) Other Notes: William Campbell was the second of three sons of Archibald Montgomery Campbell of Askomel, Argyllshire (1788-1832). At the age of sixteen, William was sent to the East India Company's Military Seminary at Addiscombe, Surrey, where he trained as a cadet destined for a commission in the Company's military forces. Appointed Ensign in the Company's Bengal Army in December 1837, he sailed for India, arriving at Fort William, Calcutta, in August 1838. He was posted to the 39th Bengal Native Infantry later that year and was promoted Lieutenant on 22nd April 1840. Campbell served with his regiment during the Gwalior Campaign in December 1843, notably participating in the battle of Punniar on 29th December 1843. The present portrait was most likely executed on Campbell's return to England in 1854. He wears the Punniar Star, which was awarded to him by the Government of India for his participation in the Gwalior campaign. The heavy gold chain and 'bullion' shoulder wings denote his company which, by tradition and as a reflection of its élite status, was placed on the right flank of the regiment in battle and on parade. His shoulder-belt plate bears the regimental number and title above a scroll bearing the battle honour 'Seringapatam', awarded after the capture of that fortress in 1799. Slight discolouration or staining by the lower edge. Few scratches above the head of the sitter.
