Edward Medal (Industry), G.V.R., 1st type obverse, 2nd type reverse, silver (Thomas Coppard), very fine, in case of issue E.M. London Gazette 10.5.1918 Thomas Coppard, Police Sergeant, National Filling Factory No. 13, in joint citation with 3 others for the Edward Medal, and listed alongside 8 men who received the K.P.M. for the same action, 'On account of their gallant conduct on the occasion of a fire which occured at a Munitions Factory on the 1st October, 1917.'Heroic Endeavour by D.V. Henderson, G.M., offers further insight on Coppard's actions, '1 October 1917. He saved a number of lives when fire and explosions occurred at the White Lund factory, near Morecombe, Lancashire.'The Lancaster Guardian states, 'on the evening of October 1, 1917, an explosion at the National Filling Factory on White Lund was so strong its force was felt as far away as Burnley. Ten people were killed during the night the majority of whom were firemen.Most of the factory workers were in the canteen on their supper break when the alarm was raised around 10.30pm which probably saved many other lives though in the rush to escape the site, some were injured. The biggest explosion occurred around 3am.The works fire brigade was unable to contain the fire which spread quickly and there were some staff who put their own lives on the line to save further casualties. Among them was Thomas Kew who shunted 49 ammunition trucks holding 250,000 live shells out of the danger zone to prevent further explosions.Shells which had been filled at the factory began to explode with the intense heat. In Morecambe, shells were seen flying overhead into the bay while in Lancaster shop windows were blown in and shrapnel travelled as far as Scotforth and Quernmore....The factory was so wrecked by the explosion that it was out of commission for the rest of the war.The cause of the disaster was never found though some suspected spy action or a Zeppelin air raid.The National Filling Factory was one of two new factories which had been opened in the area by the Ministry of Munition by the middle of 1916. The National Projectile Factory in Caton Road was mainly turning and filling shell cases delivered from Barrow.Such was the pride in these factories and the work they were doing for the war effort that both were visited by King George and Queen Mary in May, 1917 when they were presented with a silver plated shell as a memento.The real shells were transported from Caton Road to White Lund where they were filled with explosives. This factory had taken seven months to develop, covered 400 acres and included 150 buildings.More than 8,000 people worked in these factories at their peak and three quarters of them were women.'Subject to 20% VAT on Buyer’s Premium.

His subsequent initiative and resource in organising into a convoy those scattered ships which had reached Matochkin Strait and bringing so many of them safely to Iokanki despite heavy air attacks was a most valuable achievement deserving of recognition.'D.S.O. Second Award Bar London Gazette 23.5.1944 Acting Captain John Henry Jauncey, D.S.O., Royal Navy (Retired)'For outstanding courage, resolution, leadership, skill or devotion to duty in operations which led to successful landings on the Italian mainland and at Salerno.'The Recommendation, dated 24.12.1943, states: 'For skill, gallantry, and devotion to duty as Commanding Officer of H.M.S. Palomares during operations in the Mediterranean. The Palomares took part in the initial Torch operation. She was bombed and damaged on 9th November, 1942 off Algiers and suffered many casualties. Her steering gear was put out of action and fire started. Despite this gun crews continued firing and the ship was finally brought into Algiers harbour. After repairs in the U.K. Palomares returned to the Mediterranean where she has been continuously employed as an Anti-Aircraft ship for through Mediterranean convoys. Palomares took part in Avalanche, operating as Fire Defence and Anti-Aircraft ship for the Southern Attack Force. She claims four aircraft shot down during this operation.'Captain John Henry Jauncey, D.S.O., (1889-1958), was born in Eastbourne, Sussex, the son of Commander H.H. Jauncey, R.N. and Blanche Pringle, and was educated at H.M.S. Britannia. Appointed Midshipman, 15.9.1905, he served before the Great War in H.M.S. Triumph and later in H.M.S. Swiftsure. Commissioned Sub-Lieutenant, 30.12.1908, he was promoted Lieutenant, 22.6.1911, serving in H.M.S. Blenheim. During the Great War he served in the Dover Patrol, escorting the convoys of ships backwards and forwards to France supplying the British Armies on the Western Front, and received his first command, H.M.S. Flying Fish, 24.10.1915, transferring to the torpedo boat P.12, 10.2.1916. In December 1916, whilst in command of the P.12 and on escort duty he helped save the life of a number of the crew of the French Destroyer Yatagan after she had collided with H.M.S. Teviot in thick fog during the night of 3-4.12.1916 off the coast of Dieppe, for which he was awarded the Naval Life Saving Medal by the French Government in appreciation of services rendered.Promoted Lieutenant-Commander, 2.6.1919, Jauncey continued to serve in Destroyers, before being appointed Officer Instructor, East Scottish Division, R.N.V.R., 15.8.1927, he retired with the rank of Commander, 15.4.1932. On the outbreak of the Second World War he was called back to the Navy, and in the summer of 1940 was appointed to the command of H.M.S. Versatile (Destroyer). 'Her role was to escort the coal convoys supplying English power stations from Methil in the Firth of Forth to Sheerness in the Thames Estuary. This involved passing through the notorious 'E' boat Alley off the East Anglian coast where these German high speed motor torpedo boats based in Holland and Belgium as well as aircraft attacked these convoys. The Versatile saw a fair amount of action and the newspapers recorded that on one occasion she shot down a Messerschmitt fighter/bomber hitting it full in the nose. This class of destroyer required to have her boilers cleaned regularly to maintain her performance and during boiler cleans short leave was usually granted to the ship's company. This created a problem because there were a number of Glaswegians on board who reckoned that a spell in jail for desertion was a more comfortable form of existence than life on the mess-deck of a 1918 destroyer in the North Sea. The normal drill was that deserters were brought back to the ship, then court-martialled and duly sent to Barlinnie. The ship was very short-handed and the loss of every man threw an extra burden on the remainder of the crew. Jauncey therefore decided to solve the problem in his own way. When a deserter was brought back to the ship instead of passing him on for court-martial he had him secured to a stanchion in the mess-deck by a long chain enduring the taunts and insults of his messmates. As soon as the ship left harbour he was released. This unorthodox treatment which could have got him into severe trouble with the authorities was most effective and deserters ceased to present a problem.' (Account written by the recipient's son refers).Convoy P.Q.17Appointed to the command of H.M.S. Palomares (Anti-Aircraft ship), with the acting rank of Captain, 30.4.1941, Jauncey spent the next year based in the Irish Sea, escorting convoys between Belfast and Milford Haven, and providing anti-aircraft fire cover. In early June 1942 the Palomares sailed for Seydisfiord in Iceland and on the 27th June she was sailed from Hvalfiord, attached to a convoy of 34 merchant ships destined for Archangel. The Russian convoy routes, in contrast to the complete freedom of movement of the Atlantic routes, were restricted to the east and south by an enemy-occupied coastline and to the west and north by ice. The convoys themselves were subject to attack by surface forces over a large part of their 2,000-mile passage, to air attack for 1,400 miles, and to U-boat attack throughout their entire run. The severe Arctic weather added to their navigational difficulties during winter months, and they ran a greater risk of attack between March and September owing to the continuous daylight. The convoy escort consisted of 6 destroyers, 4 corvettes, 3 minesweepers, 4 trawlers, 2 anti-aircraft ships and 2 submarines. The convoy was first spotted by enemy aircraft and U-boats on the 1st July, and therefore was shadowed and attacked continuously. On the 4th July the Admiralty inexplicably ordered the convoy to scatter, the consequences of which were disastrous, leading ultimately to 23 of the 34 merchant ships which had left Iceland being sunk, with the loss in material amounting to 3350 vehicles, 430 tanks, and 210 aircraft. The Palomares reached the Matochkin Strait in Nova Zemlaya, some 500 miles NE of Archangel where she was joined by a number of other ships which had survived. After some days a small convoy with Jauncey as the senior officer of the escort sailed for Archangel. They came under heavy air attack and two more out of the five merchant ships in the convoy were sunk. By the time the Palomares reached Archangel she had virtually expended all her ammunition, as had all the other escorts, and four destroyers had to be sent out from the United Kingdom with ammunition for the escorts to make the return journey. Churchill called the episode 'one of the most melancholy naval episodes in the whole of the War.' The Palomares spent two months in Archangel and finally returned to Belfast in September 1942. For his 'bravery and resolution in the face of relentless attack by enemy aircraft and submarines', Jauncey was awarded the Distinguished Service Order.Operation 'Avalanche'In late October the Palomares sailed to the Mediterranean to take part in Operation 'Torch', the joint British/American landing in French North Africa, 7.11.1942. While stationed off the Tunisian coast she was hit astern by a bomb which caused a number of casualties, a fire which raged for several hours, and damage to her steering gear. She limped into Algiers where temporary repairs were effected which enabled her to return to Tilbury in early 1943 for permanent repairs. She returned to the Mediterranean in time for Operation 'Avalanche', the Allied landings at Salerno, south of Naples, 9.9.1943, where she provided anti-aircraft fire, and was heavily engaged with German aircraft during the landings. For his 'outstanding courage, resolution, leadership skill and devotion to duty' Jauncey was awarded a Second Award Bar to his Distinguished Service Order. He also received the thanks of the Commander of the United States Naval Forces, Admiral H.K. Hewitt, who wrote: 'Your outstanding performance of duty as Commanding Officer of H.M.S. Palomares during the amphibious invasion of Italy is worthy of the highest praise. Your command, which was assigned as a unit in the Attack Force to provide anti-aircraft protection for the flagship of the Task Force Commander and other ships of the Control Group, performed its task in a highly satisfactory and effective manner. You handled your ship expertly and directed heavy, accurate fire on all attacking enemy planes throughout the critical period of the assault operations. You contributed materially to the defense against continuing enemy air attack on shipping which was vital to the support of the invasion forces. I wish to express my appreciation of your dependable services and great assistance in bringing these operations to a successful conclusion.'The Palomares remained in the Mediterranean and took part in Operation 'Shingle', the landings at Anzio, 22.1.1944, where she was mined and once again severely damaged.In July 1944 Jauncey was appointed Captain at Greenock, a shore-based appointment which gave him command of the Clyde Escort Force which consisted of destroyers and other escort vessels escorting convoys from and to the Atlantic, and appointment he held for the rest of the War. On the conclusion of hostilities he served for a further 14 months, first as Naval Officer in Charge, Falmouth, and then as Captain of the battle cruiser H.M.S. Renown which was used as an accommodation ship at Plymouth, finally retiring with the rank of Captain, 8.10.1946.Sub-Lieutenant Charles Eliot, Baron Jauncey of Tullichettle, (1925-2007), was born in Edinburgh, the son of Captain J.H. Jauncey and Muriel Dundas, and was educated at Radley and Christ Church, Oxford. Commissioned Sub-Lieutenant, Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, 8.5.1945, he served during the Second World War in H.M.S. ML.879. Called to the Scottish Bar in 1949, he was employed as standing junior counsel to the Scottish Ministry of Works in Coronation Year 1953. Appointed a Queen's Counsel in 1963, he became a Senator of the College of Justice in Scotland in 1979, and a Lord of Appeal in Ordinary (Law Lord) in 1988. Lord Jauncey also served as a Member of the Queen's Bodyguard for Scotland from 1951, and as Kintyre Pursuivant of Arms for 16 years from 1955.For the medals awarded to Commander H.H.

CAMERA MACHINE GUN. It`s not every day one will come across an extreme rarity like this. When commercial air travel began to hit its stride in the 1930s its use as a military application was already in its stride and being perfected. The US War Dept. (which eventually changed names to the Defense Dept.) was training combat pilots to an unstoppable force. Since it wasn`t practical to practice with live ammunition the US Army Air Corp with the help of engineers at Fairchild Aviation developed a camera gun that operated like the machine guns the airmen were used to firing while being able to record their maneuvers to improve shooting accuracy. This item in heavy gauge nickel plated bronze was designed to mount in an aircraft like the machine guns of the period with an interior to hold film with the trigger snapping pictures at a rate of up to 6 frames per second. Complete with cross-hair sites, wooden handles and a long barrel it mimicked the look of the military machine gun. Affixed with an official plaque identifying it along with a serial number of ""A.C. 37-217"". Accompanied by documents pertaining to aerial photography including an equally rare official War Dept. technical manual dated July 8, 1941 and a de-classified manual for aerial gunnery dated August 1919 (these were most often destroyed) as well as correspondence between the present consignor and aeronautical historians about the camera gun.

Together with a further smaller diary. With full typed transcript. A remarkable and frank diary chronicling the activities of the wife of an Irish baronet who went to France in order to do whatever she could for the relief of the front line soldiers during WWI. The Diary begins with her departure to France in June 1915and continues through to the end of the following July and is extensive in its observation. The transcript indicates that the diary was written specifically for Lady Denys-Burton`s children. `..A Northamptonshire Yeomanry Tommy told me he had been about since November and having been six months in the trenches had had enough of it. He said he could not understand by Kitchener`s army were not set out to replace himself and others as he heard that Kitchener`s army were dying to come out...` `...I had a conversation with an 18th Hussar man who was off to the Front. He had been gassed and had been a month in the hospital...he was very interesting about the gas which he said was like a rising fog...` `...we made acquaintance with a nice Capt Dormer and Capt Carstairs...they both took a very gloomy view of the war and saw not end to it. Capt C [said] he had done nothing and that it was the French who were now entirely holding the German line. He said he had no guns and no ammunition and not enough men and that the French had every reason to be angry with us...` `...[a 2nd Dragoon Guardsman] told me about some battles when the fighting was desperate and his officer had the top of his head blown off...he himself was shot in the face by a shell with poison gas...it was full of many spies at the Front and some of the Germans dress themselves in our uniforms taken from the dead. He told that a company of Highlanders were suddenly seen coming towards them but as they were wearing their kilts the wrong way round then there was no doubt who they were...` `...a very nice Territorial RAMC ...said that in the trenches the Saxons did not at all dislike the English and that on one occasion the Germans and English were talking in quite a friendly way when the German trench was re-enforced and a Saxon called to one of the English men to keep his head down. Immediately before the English man could duck his head he was shot and the Saxon was also shot by one of his officers - on another occasion when one of his regiment saw a wounded German with a shattered thigh and went to bandage it up and immediately this was done the German shot the RAMC. The rest of his men were so angry they tore the German to pieces. Lady Grace Denys-Burton was the wife of Sir Francis Denys of Carlow^ Republic of Ireland.
