INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE - Photo-Matched Tank Model Miniature Side PanelA photo-matched side panel from the oversize model miniature tank from Steven Spielberg's adventure sequel Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) rescued his father, Henry (Sean Connery), and Marcus Brody (Denholm Elliott) from a tank before it crashed down a cliffside.While full-scale functional tank props (based on Mark VII tanks) were built for the film, a remote-controlled model miniature was constructed for shots of the tank going over the cliff. Dubbed "Babe" by the production, it was built at Elstree Studios under mechanical effects supervisor George Gibbs, who incorporated his own lawnmower engine into it. The metal model was over 6.5-feet long with removable side panels for interior access. The tank model was shot on location at Rambla de las Salinas in Valencia, Spain and then shipped to Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) in California for bluescreen work. Following production it was sent to a scrapyard, where this right side section was recognized and recovered by a staff member before the remainder of the model was scrapped.This two-part section is constructed of welded steel with a removable turret piece and a long breaker bar affixed with three green canvas supply bags, two "120/DAT" ammunition boxes, and two "YALNIZ SU" engine hatches. Loose metal wiring is attached along the edges and a hole underneath the cannon allows for a maneuvering rod to be inserted. This piece's paintwork and detailing matches to behind-the-scenes photos of the tank model being prepared for the drop shots.This lot exhibits extensive rusting and discoloration throughout, chipped paint on the breaker, fraying canvas, repainted turret portions, and some broken or missing rivets. Dimensions: 74" x 19" x 12" (187 cm x 48.25 cm x 30.5)Special shipping required; see notice in the Buyer's Guide. Estimate: $5,000 - 7,000ΔThis lot will be auctioned on Tuesday, June 21st.

John Andrew Bowring Paul, M.C., East Surrey Regt.’, the whole contained in an old wooden display case including an inlaid portrait photograph of the recipient and an East Surrey Regiment cap badge, generally extremely fine (6)£3,000-£4,000 --- M.C. London Gazette 26 September 1916: ‘For conspicuous gallantry when in charge of a working party. When a shell burst in an ammunition store, causing many casualties, he rescued and bound up several wounded men at great risk from exploding bombs. Later, on two occasions, he rescued officers under heavy fire.’ John Andrew Bowring Paul was born in 1894 and attested for the Honourable Artillery Company at Armoury House on 21 September 1914. He served with them during the Great War on the Western Front from 30 December 1914, and was commissioned Second Lieutenant in the 10th Battalion, East Surrey Regiment, on 12 August 1915. He was awarded the Military Cross for his gallantry on the Somme on 29 July 1916, the the regimental history of the East Surrey Regiment giving the following account: ‘On the night of 29 July, “C” Company sustained thirty-two casualties through an 8-in. shell landing in the Brigade advanced store containing bombs, S.A.A., Véry lights and rockets. Several men were badly burnt by the Véry lights and rockets, but only a few bombs exploded. 2nd Lieutenant J. A. B. Paul, who was in charge of the working party, showed great coolness in extricating his men from their dangerous position, and for this and other gallant acts was subsequently awarded the Military Cross.’ Paul was killed in action a few months later, on 10 October 1916, while serving on attachment to the 7th Battalion, East Surrey Regiment - ‘He was an absolutely fearless officer and a great loss to the Battalion’. He has no known grave and is commemorated on the Thiepval Memorial, France. Sold with Buckingham Palace enclosure; named Record Office enclosure for he campaign medals; and copied research.
A fine Second World ‘Burma operations’ M.M. group of seven awarded to Corporal A. H. Ford, West Yorkshire Regiment, who, as a member of his battalion’s “Guerilla Platoon”, regularly penetrated enemy lines in the Arakan Military Medal, G.VI.R. (4390907 L. Cpl. A. H. Ford, W. York. R.); 1939-45 Star; Africa Star, clasp 8th Army; Burma Star; Defence and War Medals 1939-45; Efficiency Medal, G.VI.R., 1st issue, Territorial (4390907 Cpl. A. H. Ford, M.M., W. Yorks), generally very fine (7) £2,400-£2,800 --- M.M. London Gazette 8 February 1945. The original recommendation states: ‘On the night of 9-10 January 1944, Lance-Corporal Ford was Bren-gunner during the time when the Guerilla Platoon was ambushing the enemy as they withdrew across the Iron Bridge, Kanyindan, Arakan. The enemy opened fire with L.M.Gs from three sides, but Lance-Corporal Ford continued to fire his gun, inflicting casualties on them, and then covering the Platoon withdrawal. Not until the whole of his Platoon was clear of the bridge did he himself move back. On arrival at the leaguer, Lance-Corporal Ford volunteered to take a message to Kanyindan to ‘C’ Company, which involved passing through the enemy positions. This he did, and being unable to locate ‘C’ Company, who, as it happened, were not there, then returned to his platoon, again passing through the enemy. Throughout the whole operation he showed a complete disregard for his personal safety. Recently Lance-Corporal Ford has led a number of small reconnaissance patrols, and has always succeeded in obtaining accurate information without loss to his own men. On 1 May 1944, in the Wakan area, Manipur, he was ordered to patrol the “Buttertubs” feature with a view to locating enemy positions, and sniping any movement seen there - this feature was known to be strongly held by the enemy. Lance-Corporal Ford led his patrol with great skill into the middle of the enemy locality in daylight and discovered the layout of their positions - he then found that a number of the enemy were asleep in their trenches and dugouts, and succeeded in killing three of these with T.S.M.G. and grenades before the alarm was given. He then withdrew his patrol without loss in spite of heavy enemy L.M.G. fire. The forgoing is typical of the way he has discharged his duties throughout the campaign.’ Alex Havelock Ford, a native of Skelton-in-Cleveland, was serving in the 2nd Battalion, West Yorkshire Regiment at the time of the above cited deeds, which unit had already lent valuable service in East and North Africa. But in June 1943, the Battalion arrived on the Burma front, to face a very different type enemy, not least in the Arakan operations in early 1944, when the Japanese launched a furious counter-offensive against Slim’s 14th Army - and right in the centre of that determined thrust lay the West Yorkshires, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel G. H. Cree, who was shortly to be awarded the D.S.O. for his courage and leadership in what became known as the “Battle of the Admin Box”. The “Admin Box” battle proper raged throughout most of February, shortly after Ford’s exploits with a Bren-gun in the Guerilla Platoon at Kanyindan, the defenders comprising just two battalions of regular infantry, the West Yorkshires and the Gurkhas, together with artillery and two squadrons of tanks - and a mass of administrative troops, pioneers, sappers, signallers, ordnance and medical units, mule companies and native road builders, most of whom, by the month’s end, had taken up arms, often in hand-to-hand fighting: ‘Down in the bowl of the Admin Box, under the guns of the enemy on the surrounding hills, soldiers fought on, conscious only of the fact that the hour called for every ounce of courage and endurance that British and Indian could pull forth. All day long clouds of smoke rose from the target area and the sound of explosions echoed round the hills as another ammunition or petrol dump blew up. Four times stocks of ammunition were reduced to dangerously low level. Luckily, the Japanese did not realise it, and the airmen quickly replaced each loss. But the enemy continued also to pour in a torrent of mortar bombs, grenades and shells of every calibre up to 150 millimetre. Every part of the Box was vulnerable to fire, and a glimmer of light attracted an instant hail of bullets. Wounded men were operated on within 100 yards of the spot where they had fallen ... Green-uniformed snipers roped to trees and even “built” into tree-trunks took regular toll. A veteran of Dunkirk, who had spent two days on the beaches, said he would have been ready to spend two weeks there if he could be let off with two days in the Box ... ’ (The Campaign in Burma, H.M.S.O., 1946 refers). An understandable wish given Japanese atrocities: ‘There was no spot in the Box which was free from direct or indirect Japanese fire, and casualties were heavy, many being taken to a dressing station in the shadow of one of the smaller hillocks within the perimeter, known as MDS Hill, where life-saving surgery was carried out around the clock under incessant fire ... A week into the battle, MDS Hill became the scene of an infamous act. It was overrun by screaming Japanese soldiery who slaughtered the wounded on their stretchers, and then set about the medical staff, doctors and nursing orderlies alike. As the West Yorkshires mounted a counter-attack the surviving staff and patients were lined up by their attackers and used as human shields by laughing Japanese, who then shot most of them in cold blood. Finally, six doctors were put to death after tending the Japanese wounded. A few days later the West Yorkshires avenged this terrible deed when they ambushed a party of the enemy in a nearby river bed. On inspection of the bodies, many items identified as coming from the MDS were found ... ’ (The Unforgettable Army, Slim’s XIVth Army in Burma, by Colonel Michael Hickey, refers). In fact the West Yorkshires accounted for around 50 of the enemy in this river bed ambush, a feat they were to repeat on further occasions, as a result of which the river bed became known as “Blood Alley”; the Battalion also twice evicted the enemy from “Ammunition Hill”, costly work of a head-on nature that won the admiration and praise of Lieutenant-General Philip Christison, 15 Corps Commander - ‘Never has any regiment counter-attacked so successfully and so often as in that battle. It is rare in history that one regiment can be said to have turned the scale of the whole campaign.’ But turned it was, the Japanese offensive in the Arakan ending in huge loss, the likes of Corporal Ford adding to those losses over the coming weeks and months, initially in the operations that led to the relief of Kohima, and then in the advance along the Tiddim Road, when the Battalion fought an action about every three miles of its 200-mile length.
A Second War ‘Burma Operations’ M.M. group of seven awarded to Havildar Golaba Ram, 3rd Battalion, 2nd Punjab Regiment, who won an immediate award for his gallantry in facing off a protracted attack in May 1945, nine dead Japanese being found in front of his position at daybreak: he had earlier participated in the Eritrean campaign in 1941, in which he was wounded in the action at Gogni Military Medal, G.VI.R. (10741 Hav. Golaba Ram, Punjab R.); 1939-45 Star; Africa Star; Burma Star; Defence and War Medals 1939-45; General Service 1918-62, 1 clasp, S.E. Asia 1945-46 (10741 Hav. Gulaba, 3-2 Punjab R) generally good very fine (7) £600-£800 --- M.M. London Gazette 20 September 1945. The original recommendation, for an immediate award, states: ‘On the night of 6-7 May 1945, at Abya, Havildar Golaba Ram’s company was heavily attacked by a large party of Japanese supported by medium machine-guns and other automatic weapons for a period of three to four hours. The attack was entirely against the front of one platoon, of which this N.C.O. was the Platoon Havildar, and shortly after the beginning of the action, the Subedar commanding it was killed. Havildar Golaba Ram at once took control of the Platoon, which was then being hard pressed and, in spite of heavy enemy fire from close range, went to his foremost sections steadying them and cooly directing their fire. Later in the action, finding his platoon reduced by casualties, he himself went to and fro to his sections regardless of the fire, keeping them supplied with ammunition and taking his place in the line wherever the threat was greatest. The attack was beaten off and at daybreak 13 bodies were recovered from the Platoon’s front. This N.C.O’s courage under heavy fire and coolness in an emergency were a steadying example to his men at a critical time and contributed to his company’s success in the action.’ Golaba Ram was a Dogra Jat from Kangar village in Balaspur State. Prior to his M.M.-winning exploits in Burma, he saw action as a Sepoy in the 3rd Battalion, 2nd Punjab Regiment in Eritrea, and was wounded in his unit’s action, at Gocni, on 26 January 1941. He saw later service during the operations in South-East Asia 1945-46. Sold with copied research.

R.A.); Army Meritorious Service Medal, G.V.R., 1st issue (47804 Dvr. W. F. Bowerman. R.H.A.) nearly very fine (4) £120-£160 --- William Francis Bowerman, a native of Wellington, Somerset, attested for the Royal Artillery on 2 October 1907, and transferred to the Army Reserve on 1 October 1913. Recalled on 5 August 1914, he served with ‘F’ Battery, 3rd Brigade Ammunition Column during the Great War on the Western Front from 15 August 1914, and for his services during the Great War was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal (London Gazette 3 June 1919). He was discharged on termination of engagement on 1 October 1919. M.I.D. unconfirmed.
