GREAT WAR - GALLIPOLI - AN EMOTIVE TRENCH ART 'SHELL DRIVING BAND' DECORATIVE BROOCH the reverse inscribed 'Sulva Bay 16 Aug 1915', complete with pin, 35mm long. Note: 16th August 1915 - The Turks Counter Attack. - 'The British troops had done well to take what ground they had. Despite massive gaps in their ranks, being low on ammunition, with no bombs available and suffering from extreme thirst, they dug in and held their ground. However, at 4am on the 16th the reinforced Turks began a vicious series of bombing and bayonet attacks. The attacks were unrelenting. The Irish and English troops held their ground with a grim determination, but without fresh troops and bombs the battalions just could not realistically hold out much longer. Desperate appeals for reinforcements and more ammunition fell on deaf ears and the surviving men 'threw rocks when their meagre supply of jam tin bombs ran out' '.
SECOND WORLD WAR - ORP BLYSKAWICA - A RARE POLISH NAVY 'TRENCH ART' 40MM ENGRAVED BRASS SHELL CASE dated 1939, decorated with a profile image of the Polish destroyer with bi-planes above and a crossed flag device, inscribed 'O.R.P. Blyskawica', 'Glasgow' and 'Listoped 1940', 31cm high. Note: ORP Blyskawica is a Grom-class destroyer which served in the Polish Navy during the Second World War and is the only ship of the Polish Navy awarded the Virtuti Militari medal. It is preserved as a museum ship in Gdynia, and is the oldest preserved destroyer in the world. Two days before the out break of the Second world War, on 30 August 1939, the Blyskawica withdrew, along with the destroyers Grom and Burza, from the Baltic Sea to Britain in accordance with the Peking Plan to avoid open conflict with Germany and possible destruction, reaching Leith in Scotland at 17:30 on 1 September 1939, from then on they acted in tandem with the Royal Navy's Home Fleet. In early May 1940, B?yskawica took part in the Norwegian Campaign, shelling German positions and downing two Luftwaffe aircraft. Her sister ship Grom was bombed and sunk during the campaign. Later that month, she took part in covering Operation Dynamo, the successful Franco-British evacuation from Dunkirk. On the night of May 4-5, 1942, Blyskawica was instrumental in defending the Isle of Wight town of Cowes from an air raid by 160 German bombers. The ship was undergoing an emergency refit at the J. Samuel White yard where she was built and, on the night of the raid, fired repeated rounds at the German bombers from outside the harbour, her guns becoming so hot they had to be doused with water. Extra ammunition had to be ferried over from Portsmouth. This forced the bombers to stay high, making it hard for them to target properly. The ship also laid down a smokescreen hiding Cowes from sight. During the war, she logged 146,000 nautical miles (270,000 km) and escorted eighty-three convoys. In late 1945 and early 1946, the B?yskawica along with the destroyer HMS Onslow took part in Operation Deadlight, the scuttling of over 100 German U-Boats.
