Maharajpoor Star 1843 (Lieutenant William Tinley H.M. 39th Regt.) fitted with a replacement silver bar suspension, good very fine £300-£400 --- William Newport Tinley was born in 1819 and was commissioned Ensign in the Royal African Colonial Corps on 15 November 1839. He transferred to the 39th Regiment of Foot on 31 December 1839, and was promoted Lieutenant, by purchase, on 11 June 1841, serving with the regiment in the Gwalior campaign of 1843, including the battle of Maharajpoor on 29 December 1843. He was promoted Captain on 27 May 1853, and was awarded the Royal Humane’s Society’s Silver Medal for his action on 9 August 1853: ‘During the morning of 9 August 1853 Mortimer Flynn (27), a Private in the 39th Regiment, got into difficulties while bathing in Cork harbour and sank in some ten feet of water. Captain Tinley, who was based at Fort Camden, Cork, was himself going out to bathe, when, shortly after passing the barracks, he spotted Flynn struggling in the water. He ran down to the rock at the edge of the water and jumped in full dressed. Having swam to where Flynn had last appeared, Tinley managed to grab his hair and thus pull his head above the surface. He then held him and swam back to the rock were other soldiers from the guard room helped take the unconscious Flynn ashore and into the guard room to recover. No medical assistance was available. Details of the rescue were quickly brought to the attention of the Royal Humane Society by Lieutenant W Greesham and Lieutenant J Dixon, both of the 39th Regiment, as well as others. The Society initially considered the circumstances at its committee meeting on 21 September 1853 who then referred it on to their General Court. They approved the award of the Society's silver medal to Captain Tinley. The Society sent Tinley's medal to the War Office on 6 April 1854 for them to arrange its presentation.’ (R.H.S. Case no. 15,419 refers) Tinley saw further service during the Crimean War, going out to the Crimea with a draft of the 39th Regiment aboard H.M.S. Princess Royal, sailing from Queenstown on 13 January 1855. He was present at the siege of Sebastopol and the attacks on the Redan of 18 June and 8 September 1855 (entitled to a Crimea Medal with clasp Sebastopol and Turkish Crimea Medal - these medals, together with an unnamed Maharajpoor Star, were sold at auction in November 2014). He retired from the Army on 20 May 1864 and died at Bruff, County Limerick, on 8 February 1874. Sold with copied research. Note: At least one other Maharajpoor Star named to this man is known to exist. For the medals awarded to the recipient’s brother, see Lot 197.

50th Anniv of Operation Overland D Day Signed 4 all involved in D Day action. D-day Multiple signed FDC 50th Ann Operation Overlord Signed 4 Navy veterans. 6 June 1994 Douglas First Day Issue Postmark. 50th Anniv of Operation Overland D Day with full set of 8 Isle of Man D Day Stamps. Personally Signed by General Mogg, M S Salter, Rear Admiral F B P Brayne - Nicholls, Vice Admiral Sir Peter Berger, I H Cosby Battle of Britain Pilot. General Sir John Mogg, who has died aged 88 in November 2001, was in his time, probably the British army's most popular general, and finished his career in one of NATO's most influential posts. There he paid more attention to cricket than to his studies, with the result that, instead of taking the entrance exam for Sandhurst, he chose the alternative route of a Y-cadetship in the Coldstream Guards. After three years in the ranks, he was selected for Sandhurst, where he gained the sword of honour in 1936, being commissioned in January 1937 into the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry (the 43rd and 52nd). Mogg did not see active service in the second world war until, in August 1944, he was chosen to command the 9th battalion of the Durham Light Infantry, which with its armoured personnel carriers, formed part of the 22nd armoured brigade of the 7th division. In operations from Normandy to Hamburg, he was twice mentioned in dispatches and twice awarded the distinguished service order. By then a lieutenant colonel, Mogg attended the first postwar course at the Camberley staff college, from which he was posted as general staff officer grade one (virtual chief of staff) to the 7th armoured division in Germany. He returned to Camberley as a member of the directing staff, before taking command of the 10th battalion of the Parachute Regiment in the Territorial army in 1950, where, in spite of his weight, he became a keen parachutist. That was followed by two years as chief instructor of the school of infantry, and two on the staff of the Imperial Defence College in London. Also enclosed a compliments slip signed by the general.
