Queen’s South Africa 1899-1902, 1 clasp, Natal (Tpr. J. Burdon. Murray’s Horse) two small edge bruises, otherwise good very fine and rare £300-£400 --- This irregular corps was raised in Natal, mostly in Pietermartizburg district, during the last week in October 1899, and took the field in the Anglo-Boer War early in November, about 80 strong, under the Hon. Thomas Keir Murray, ex-Colonial Secretary of Natal, who held the rank of Commandant. Within a week the strength had risen to 150. No military rank was held by members, they being purely civilians who had volunteered to assist, in a military capacity, the military forces in any possible way in face of the invasion of Natal by the enemy forces early in the war, their rapid advance down country, and the investment of Ladysmith. The members provided themselves with everything - horse, arms, equipment, uniforms and other necessaries at their own cost, and they served without any pay or allowances, except rations and ammunition. Their particular efficiency lay in their value as scouts, guides, interpreters and intelligence work. Many of the members had an intimate knowledge of the districts operated in, were good Zulu and Afrikaans linguists, and full of veld craft. This force was really a commando, with an organisation, or absence of any, similar to the system of Boer commandos, but with military discipline. The first and urgent duties of the corps were that of patrolling the districts south of the Tugela River, and putting up at big a show of force as possible during the critical fortnight following the retirement of the British forces across the Tugela River, closely beset by the enemy in strength, pending the arrival of reinforcements from Cape Town and overseas, being hurried northwards to stem the tide of invasion. These duties Murray's Horse carried out with great determination and efficiency. Thereafter a portion of the force was released from their military duties, but Commandant T. K. Murray, and the bulk of the unit, now known as Murray's Scouts, remained on active service with the Natal Field Force until the relief of the beleaguered Ladysmith on 28th February 1900, when they, too, were released from military service and returned home.

London Gazette 7 August 1915: ‘For conspicuous coolness and gallantry on the 28th April, 1915, when in charge of a naval gun on shore in Belgium in removing ammunition from a burning building under heavy and well directed fire.’ Arthur Henry Seymour Casswell was appointed Sub-Lieutenant R.N.V.R. on 15 September 1913, and Lieutenant on 15 July 1915. From March 1915 he was borne on the books of H.M.S. Victory at Portsmouth, for ‘Miscellaneous duties’, and from December 1916 he was 1st Lieutenant of H.M.S. Rosalind. He was in command of the torpedo boat destroyer Owl from October 1918, and subsequently served in Carlisle and Benbow. Casswell became Lieutenant-Commander in July 1923 and saw further service aboard the aircraft carrier Pegasus and the submarine depot ship Titania, becoming No. 2 on her in November 1930. In 1934 he was serving as an R.N.V.R. instructor and retired with the rank of Commander on 5 September 1937. Sold with copied research.

Pair: Able Seaman M. A. Chick, Royal Navy and Mercantile Marine, who served aboard H.M.S. Newfoundland when she sank the Egyptian frigate Domiat by gunfire in 1956 - the last occasion that a warship was destroyed by conventional gun action Naval General Service 1915-62, 1 clasp, Near East (P/SSX.871490 M. A. Chick. A.B. R.N.); South Atlantic 1982, with rosette (M. A. Chick) officially named in the style associated with the Mercantile Marine, mounted as worn, nearly extremely fine (2) £500-£700 --- Michael Arthur Chick was born in Salisbury on 4 September 1933, the son of chief clerk and special constable Hector A. Chick. Educated locally, he joined the Royal Navy and was aboard the light cruiser Newfoundland in the autumn of 1956; liaising with the British destroyer Diana, the sloops Crane and Modeste, the Royal Fleet Auxiliary Wave Sovereign and the French frigates La Perouse, Gazelle and Jasmin, Newfoundland headed an Anglo-French flotilla detailed to the protection of shipping in the Gulf of Suez as part of Operation Toreador. On the night of 31 October 1956, Newfoundland encountered a ‘darkened ship’ cruising to the south of the Canal. Ordered to heave-to, the Egyptian Navy Frigate Domiat refused and opened fire on Newfoundland with her 4-inch armament. An early salvo shattered Newfoundland’s pay office which was situated directly below “B” turret, leaving a hole in the side of the British warship. Enraged, Newfoundland, supported by Diana, retaliated by illuminating her aggressor with a 20-inch Signal Projector and then proceeded to sink Domiat with nine broadsides from her main armament. The Wreck of the Domiat describes the carnage: ‘Our next broadside smashed into Domiat’s bows and ignited her paintshop so that her bows glowed cherry red in the dark night. Diana, astern, had seen Domiat turn and got in seventeen rounds of 4.5” from her A’s and B’s. As we closed the range, the 4” and bofors joined in and the Captain of one of the port bofors later received a DSM for his good work in hosing Domiat’s decks down with 40mm.’ Despite Egyptian hopes to ram Newfoundland, it soon became clear that Domiat was sinking and the fight was over; seeing shadows in the water, the British and French sailors transferred their attentions to rescuing 69 Egyptian survivors from the shark-infested waters. These men were later landed at Djibouti and enjoyed a spell in French custody. British casualties amounted to one man killed in action aboard Newfoundland and 6 wounded. Transferred to the Merchant Navy, Chick served aboard the former roll-on roll-off car transporter Europic Ferry during the Falklands War. Requisitioned by the Admiralty as a stores transport vessel, she was modified at Southampton and fitted with pintle-mounted Bren light machine guns; a rudimentary but invaluable defensive measure against low-level air attack. Loaded with ammunition, stores, fuel and vehicles, including much of the support equipment for the 2nd Battalion, Parachute Regiment, and 4 Westland Scout helicopters lashed to her deck, the Europic Ferry sailed on 25 April 1982 and liaised with Norland at Ascension Island on 8 May. Assembled to the east of the Falkland Islands in the build up to Operation Sutton, Europic Ferry joined the third wave of landings in San Carlos Water. Unloading her stores under clear skies, she proved a sitting duck to Argentine air attack and suffered a near miss. According to Amphibious Assault Falkland: The Battle of San Carlos Water, it was similar close-calls that convinced Commodore Michael Clapp to order all merchant ships out of the bay by midnight. Later camouflaged with mottled grey paint, Europic Ferry ended her campaign as a floating platform and workshop for Chinook helicopters. Chick later returned home to Salisbury where he died on 1 June 1994, a short while after selling his medals to the Castle Galleries. Probate recorded at Winchester later confirms his final address as 69 Belle Vue Road, Salisbury. Sold with a compliments slip from the Castle Galleries, Salisbury, dated 19 May 1994, hand annotated by recipient and confirming service.

South Africa 1877-79, 1 clasp, 1877-8-9 (938. Pte. W. H. Smith. 2-24th. Foot.) edge bruising, very fine £600-£800 --- William Henry Smith attested for the 25th Brigade at Tredegar, Brecon, in 1876, and was posted to the 2nd Battalion, 24th Regiment of Foot on 15 December 1876. He served with the 2nd Battalion in South Africa during the Zulu War, and witnessed the aftermath of the massacre at Isandalwana. The Cardiff Times of 29 March 1879 takes up the story: ‘The following letter has been received from Mr. Ephrame of Tirphil: “My friend, I now take the pleasure in writing these few lines to you, hoping you are quite well, as it leaves me present. I am sorry to have to relate you as of what happened here, but I expect you have seen it in the papers at home, but the eyesight can relate more than the reading. On the 18th of January we crossed into the enemy's country and pitched camp on the 22nd January. General Thesinger took half our column out to meet the enemy, but instead of us meeting them, the half-column that was left in camp had to meet the fatal charge. About 25 000 of the enemy took up another position of which we knew nothing about and only 1,000 of our men was in camp, so that we were on the losing side. They came in such force that they cut every man off the face of the camp, and there was not one left to tell of that fatal day, and the enemy was not satisfied with killing our men, but they even cut them to pieces and took every thing that we were possessed of, so that when our half-column came back, about three miles from the camp, we could see nothing but a van and only a few waggons. They had taken about 1,000 rifles and two large guns. These they took to a high precipice and smashed them all to pieces. And they took all the ammunition, rations and everything they could lay their hands on, so we had to take the camp with the end of the bayonet, when, after charging to the top of a hill, they retreated and we were not able to go any further, and we saw all our poor men lying dead on the most terrible field and they fought to the last, killing about 6,000 of the enemy, so that the place was strewn with the dead. The next day we retreated to the nearest commissary [Rorke’s Drift] to get something to eat, but they had attacked that, but with God's providence, some men that was left there kept it, having 13 killed, or else I am afraid I should not have been able to write to you any more. Give my regards to all old friends. Yours &c., W Thomas, No. 939, 2-24th Regt.” A similar letter has also been received by Mr. Henry Smith of New Tredegar, from W. H. Smith, No. 938, 2-24th Regt.’ Departing South Africa in early 1880, Smith arrived with the Battalion in Gibraltar on 12 February 1880, and went into quarters in the Casemate barracks. On 20 July 1880, amid the war in Afghanistan, the battalion was ordered to be held in readiness for embarkation to India, where they arrived in August 1880. They were in Fort St George, Madras, when William Henry Smith died of 'Hepititus and brain disease' on 4 July 1885. Sold with copied research.

A fascinating and scarce early 20th century Boer War era photograph album, and diary, once belong to 6751 Cpl Arthur Holloway of the Volunteer Service Company, 2nd Worcestershire Regiment. To include: a leather bound pocket diary, named to ‘Lance Corporal A.Holloway 2nd Wor Vol Ser Coy Field Forces S.Africa’. The diary appears to have been written in a period address book of sorts, with lettered index leaves to the right hand side. The cover is entitled ‘Where is it?’. On the 3rd page, it states that the diary covers the period 1900/1901 from Jan 10th 1900. Interestingly, 1899 is crossed out, which may suggest that Arthur believed that he may have expected to have been deployed earlier. There are approximately 115 pages of entries, all in pencil, describing Arthur’s experiences while on campaign. Some entries tell of mundane military formalities, such as reveille, with others covering engagements against the Boers, and grim, brutal realities of warfare at the time. Several entries, detailed below, covering the period through June 1900 and July 1900 describe the regiment in action against the Boers, with the harsh and brutal nature of warfare exposed (particularly if you were captured!). Saturday June 23rd: Rev at 6 am packed our bivouacs & were just having rations served out when we were surprised by a shell flying over our heads quickly followed by another from the Boers who had got up three guns close to us during the night, Our artillery replied while we went out in extended order, & then M Is got on their flank & forced volleys into them & they retired as fast as possible our casualties were five wounded belonging to the Bedfords, we then proceeded on the march again camping about five miles from Winburg. Thursday June 28th: Reville at 6 am on the march with the column, composed of the 2nd Worc 2nd Brabants 63rd Field Battery Wilts Regt & Bedfords, Royal Irish & 2, 5 inch siege guns (Lyditti?? to the capture of Bethlehem our Coy was escort to the siege guns after marching about three miles we came in contact with the enemy & were soon at work, the right flank guard was in the thick of it, we then got the two siege guns into action & opened fire at a range of 6,500 yds, the second shell bursting beautiful & knocked one of the Boers guns out of action, the fighting lasted until dusk. Tuesday July 3rd: Came off outpost at 3 pm, on half rations artillery & M I fighting again Brabants caught twelve prisoners at a farm having lunch, & as they would not surrender they shot them all  & they also captured a Field Cornet & left him in charge of one guard, he was very cheeky so we tied him to a wagon without any blankets for the night & it was a very frosty night so he was much quieter in the morning. Friday July 6th: Reville at 6.45 am starting again on the march at 10 am our Coy left flank guard fighting began in about an hours time the artillery having plenty to do, as the Boers had about 7 guns shelling us with however we wanted to capture Bethlehem that day, & we moved forward again the shells flying over our heads, our Coy had a very hot fire poured into them by some Boers from a farm that we passed & didn’t the bullets whistle around our ears but we returned the compliment & then they got a little quieter the fighting all around was very heavy until dark, & we had to retire on account of the darkness the Boers putting volleys into us as we returned but the shots went high & no damage was done, we formed camp about two miles from the town & it was the coldest night I ever had, our blankets were like stiff bonds in the morning with the frost. Saturday July 7th: Up at 4 am stood to arms at 5 am, the artillery on both sides opened fire at daybreak & just after fighting began in all its fury all around us, the shells from the Boers Long Tom caused our Coy to retire out of range but our forces on the right flank flanked them & they had to rush their guns out of danger, if ever the Boers shells had burst properly  our Coy would have been cut up, as shells were dropping all around us, the Royal Irish charged one hill & captured a 15 pounder, the fighting lasted until 1.30 pm when the enemy were driven from their positions, leaving a large stock of ammunition on the hills, we lay out on the hills for an hour & half & then marched to the town & formed our camp, (still on half rations) fellows offering 1/- for one biscuit. Sunday July 8th: Reville at 6.30 quiet enough after the fight of yesterday, Babants had one their men captured by the Boers & they shot him six times & then knocked his head in with the butt of their rifles we had another wash the first for a week, our column does look a wreck now, we are all in rags or very close to it. Also included is a period photograph album, depicting various scenes of blockhouses, the ‘SAC’ (South African Constabulary), General Botha, and General Botha meeting General Clements. Hospital and armoured trains, camps, Boer prisoners, local Zulu women and refugees, and others. Approximately 48 photographs, all housed in thick card mounts. The album measures 19cm x 13.5cm, with each photograph measuring 8cm x 5.5cm. Notes: Cpl Holloway was born in 1880 in Oldbury, Worcestershire. He is entitled to the Queen South Africa medal, with the clasps for Wittebergenm Cape Colony, Transvaal, and South Africa 1901. Photographs of Arthur are featured on the History of Oldbury website, with one from his deployment, and another from his jubilant return (reproduced in the image pack). Condition: generally good for their age and use. The photograph album has wear to the linen cover, particularly to the spine area. Some of the photographs area a little loose in their mounts, but remain safely in place. The diary condition is good, with all the entries being written in pencil, thus remaining quite legible. A little wear to the spine, but it doesn’t detract. N.B. A transcript of the diary (on CD) can be included if desired. All proceed from the sale will be donated to the Royal British Legion,

The Sten Mk III, often simply referred to as the Sten gun, was a British submachine gun used during World War II and the post-war period. Here are some key details about the Sten Mk III:**1. Development:** - The Sten gun was developed during World War II as a cost-effective and quickly producible submachine gun for the British military. - The "Sten" name was derived from the initials of its designers, Major Reginald V. Shepherd and Harold Turpin, and the "EN" from the Enfield factory where it was designed.**2. Design and Features:** - The Sten Mk III had a simple and straightforward design, consisting of a tubular steel receiver, a wooden or Bakelite stock, and minimal controls. - It was chambered for the 9x19mm Parabellum pistol cartridge, which was readily available and allowed for standardized ammunition use. - The Sten Mk III had a simple blowback operation and a cyclic rate of around 500 rounds per minute.**3. Magazine:** - The Sten used a detachable box magazine, typically holding 32 rounds of 9mm ammunition. - It featured a distinctive side-mounted magazine housing.**4. Variants:** - The Sten gun went through several modifications and variants during its production, including the Mk I, Mk II, Mk III, and Mk V, with each iteration addressing various issues and making improvements.**5. Manufacturing Simplicity:** - One of the primary goals of the Sten's design was to simplify production. It could be manufactured with basic metalworking equipment and minimal skilled labor. - As a result, Sten guns were relatively inexpensive to produce in large quantities.**6. Service History:** - The Sten gun became the standard issue submachine gun for British and Commonwealth forces during World War II. - It saw widespread use in various theaters of war, including North Africa, Europe, and the Pacific.**7. Legacy:** - The Sten gun's design was considered crude but effective. It was known for its simplicity, reliability, and ease of use. - After World War II, the Sten gun remained in service with various countries and conflicts for several decades.**8. Replicas and Surplus:** - Today, Sten guns have become collector's items, and some replicas and surplus models are available to firearms enthusiasts.Despite its simplicity and sometimes rudimentary construction, the Sten gun served a crucial role in the British and Commonwealth forces during World War II. Its design allowed for mass production at a time when rapid armament was needed, and it became an iconic symbol of the era.Wood.

Hochgeschwindigkeitskamera "Zeitlupe 16", um 1940Zeiss Ikon, Dresden. Bestehend aus: 1 Hochgeschwindigkeitskamera mit motorischem und Handkurbelantrieb, 1 Objektiv Sonnar mit Zwischenringen und einer großen Anzahl von einschiebbaren Zusatzlinsen, einem Aufsatzsucher und einem schweren zerlegbaren Holzstativ. Die Aufnahmen erfolgten auf doppelseitig perforiertem 16mm-Filmmaterial auf Tageslichtspulen. Elektrische Funktionen nicht geprüft. - Dabei: Original-Bedienungsanleitung von 24 Seiten mit Preisblatt sowie Erwähnung des Projektors "Kinox S". - Kurz vor Kriegsbeginn stellte die Firma Zeiss Ikon in Dresden zusätzlich zu ihrer 35mm-Zeitlupenkamera Modell 2 diese neue Schmalfilmzeitlupe vor. Auf der Leipziger Messe wurde diese Kamera beworben mit: "Eine neue Kamera für Wehrmacht Industrie". Die produzierte Stückzahl ist nicht bekannt. Die meisten dieser Anlagen wurden zur Dokumentation von panzerbrechender Munition und anderer technischer Vorgänge an die Heeresversuchsanstalt in Kummersdorf und für Dokumentationen der V1- und V2-Raketengeschosse in die Erprobungsanstalt nach Peenemünde geliefert. Auch in der Luftwaffenerprobungsstelle Rechlin soll eine solche Kamera im Einsatz gewesen sein. Anstelle des üblichen Einzelbildschaltwerks einer Filmkamera wird wegen der hohen Bildgeschwindigkeiten ein Spiegelkranz verwendet, an dem der Film kontinuierlich vorbeigeführt wird. Im Elektroantrieb erreicht man unter Verwendung verschiedener Zubehörteile Bildgeschwindigkeiten von 500 bis 3000 B/s. Start Price: EUR 600 Zustand: (3+/2+)Slow Motion 16 High-Speed Camera, c. 1940Zeiss Ikon, Dresden. Consisting of a high-speed camera with motor and hand-turned mechanism, a Sonnar lens with intermediate rings and a large number of insertable additional lenses, an attachment viewfinder and a dismantled heavy wood tripod, electrical functions untested. - In addition: Original operating instructions of 24 pages with price sheet as well as a mention of the "Kinox S" projector. - Note: Shortly before the start of the war, the Zeiss Ikon company in Dresden introduced this new narrow film slow motion camera as an addition to the 35mm Model 2 slow motion camera in its range. At the Leipzig trade fair, the product was advertised as "a new camera for the armed forces industry". The number of units produced is unknown. Most of these systems were delivered to the army testing facility in Kummersdorf for documentation of armor-piercing ammunition and other technical processes and to the testing facility in Peenemünde for documentation of the V1 and V2 rocket projectiles. Such a camera is also said to have been in use at the Rechlin Air Force testing center. The recordings were made on double-sided perforated 16mm film material on daylight reels. Because of the high image speeds instead of the usual single-frame switching mechanism of a film camera, a ring of mirrors is employed, which the film is continuously guided past. In the electric drive, image speeds of 500 to 3000 fps can be achieved using various accessories. Start Price: EUR 600 Condition: (3+/2+)
