B2 Rare Robert Taylor "Helping Hand" signed by an impressive 16 famous Luftwaffe, USAAF, RAF and RCAF WW2 Aces and veterans. When originally issued in 1989, "Helping Hand" was signed only by the artist, Robert Taylor, this print being number 124 from an issue of 1250 and today is a sought after print in its own right. However, over the years this particular print has benefited greatly by being additionally autographed by 16 extremely well known WW2 aircrew from the Luftwaffe, the RAF and the USAAF including many leading Aces. This print is supplied with a Vector Fine Arts Certificate of Authenticity from 2007 confirming that this is one of just three prints to carry this combination of 16 autographs and giving details of the signatories (see photographs). This print is signed by the artist, Robert Taylor and Colonel Bob Morgan Pilot of the B-17 Memphis Belle, Lt. Colonel Francis "Gabby" Gabreski (Ace) 56th Fighter Group, General Gunther Rall (Ace) JG52, Lt. General Walter Krupinski (Ace) JG52 JV44, Colonel Don Blakeslee (Ace) Officer Commanding 4th Fighter Group, Lt.

The print measures approximately 84cm x 60cm (33 x 23. 5 inches) and has been stored flat, out of the light and is in very. Print Historical Detail: The scene is a familiar one back in 1944. A damaged B-17 Flying Fortress, down on power and speed, has lost touch with the formation and is alone in a hostile sky - easy prey for the enemy fighter. With crew members injured and unable to bale out, the skipper has elected to stay with his ship in an effort to bring his crew home. All on board knew the drill: Once hit, damaged, slowed down and unable to maintain their position in the formation they were on their own. Losing height and dropping out of the relative safety of the group they would become a prime target for the marauding high-altitude fighters of the Luftwaffe, and their chances of survival would be slim. But this day was different. Their luck was in! High above, a P-51 Mustang long-range escort pilot, himself low on both fuel and ammunition and weary from combat with German fighters, has assessed the plight of the B-17 and closed in to 'ride shotgun' for the long journey home.

The mounted group of seven miniature dress medals worn by Corporal A. W. Currie, M.C., 1st Battalion, King’s Own Scottish Borderers Military Cross, E.II.R.; General Service 1962-2007, 1 clasp, Northern Ireland; Iraq 2003-11, no clasp; Iraq Reconstruction Service Medal 2003; Civilian Service Medal (Afghanistan) 2001; Jubilee 2002; Accumulated Campaign Service Medal 1994, E.II.R., mounted court style as worn, nearly extremely fine (7) --- M.C. London Gazette 23 April 2004: ‘In recognition of gallant and distinguished services in Iraq during the period 1st April to 30th September 2003.’ The original recommendation states: ‘Corporal Currie was commanding a Fire Team in a Multiple, located at the Al Uzayr Security Force Base, Maysan Province, Southern Iraq on the night of 8th August 2003 when he was instructed by his Platoon Commander to deploy his team, augmented by the Quick Reaction Force, to investigate the continued and heavy weapons fire that was coming from the Southern quarter of the town. At 2115hrs Corporal Currie’s team advanced through the narrow streets and was engaged by a Heavy Machine Gun position. They immediately returned fire and began to suppress the position. Meanwhile, the remainder of the Multiple deployed to reinforce the Team, taking up positions to the South of Corporal Currie. A total of 5 enemy positions were identified; 2 machine gun and 3 rifle positions with an estimated 25 enemy at ranges less than 150 metres. During the subsequent battle Corporal Currie continuously pushed forward in order maintain contact with the enemy positions and came under effective fire on several occasions, from both small arms and machine gun fire. At around 2145 hrs Corporal Currie once again came under heavy gunfire and assessing his position to be untenable repositioned his team behind a large building to give them some cover from fire. Identification of enemy positions in the darkness was proving to be very difficult and an illumination round was called for. Corporal Currie moved forward, exposing his position in order to draw enemy fire and identify their positions. Judging that shock action would have a salutary effect Corporal Currie immediately led his men on a frontal assault into heavy small arms and machine gun fire. During the assault an unexpected enemy appeared between Corporal Currie’s team and the first position. Corporal Currie killed this enemy and maintained the momentum of the assault; clearing two buildings and wounding a further 2 enemy. The team recovered one RPG launcher, two RPG rounds and three rifles with 1000 rounds of ammunition from the buildings. Corporal Currie’s selfless courage and inspirational leadership during this action were instrumental in the success of this assault and the withdrawal and capture of the enemy who were engaging them. He led his men tirelessly, often placing himself in extreme danger to allow his men to better identify targets and engage them. For this exceptional example of leadership in the face of the enemy Corporal Currie deserves public recognition.’ Sold together with an original letter of congratulations from the Right Honourable John Reid M.P., Hamilton North and Bellshill Constituency, dated 14 May 2004.

The superb ‘Iraq 2003’ M.C. group of seven awarded to Corporal A. W. Currie, 1st Battalion, King’s Own Scottish Borderers who, coming under heavy machine gun fire near Al Uzayr security base on the night of 8 August 2003, led his team forward in a prolonged fire fight with over 20 enemy gunmen operating from 5 different positions. Finally assessing his position to be untenable, he called for an illumination round to aid identification of the enemy positions in the darkness before leading his men in a frontal assault on the Iraqi gunmen who were armed with machine-guns, AK47 rifles and RPG7 rocket-propelled grenade launchers. During the assault, another Iraqi gunman appeared suddenly between the British soldiers and the Iraqi positions, threatening the momentum of the British attack. Corporal Currie shot the Iraqi dead and then cleared two buildings, wounding two other Iraqis. His men subsequently recovered one RPG7 launcher, two RPG grenades and three rifles as well as 1,000 rounds of ammunition. The following morning, when again required to confront heavy machine gun and small arms fire from an enemy in a number of well prepared positions, Currie took a leading role as his Multiple cleared the insurgents through a combination of suppressing fire and direct assault. Currie’s involvement in this action - which led to the award of the C.G.C. to Corporal S. G. Jardine - is well documented in Jardine’s personal account which appears in the book In Foreign Fields by Dan Collins Military Cross, E.II.R.

For this exceptional example of leadership in the face of the enemy Corporal Currie deserves public recognition.’ Anthony William Currie was born on 12 October 1973. He enlisted into the Regular Army in January 1994 and after completing basic training he joined the 1st Battalion, King’s Own Scottish Borderers in April 1994. During his 13 years of service he was employed in Iraq, Canada, Cyprus, Northern Ireland and and Mainland United Kingdom. He was awarded the General Service Medal for operational service in Northern Ireland and the Iraq 2003-11 Medal for operational service in Iraq as well as the Military Cross for actions on Operation TELIC 2. King’s Own Scottish Borderers on Operation TELIC 2 Corporal Currie deployed to Iraq with the 1st Battalion, King’s Own Scottish Borderers on Operation TELIC 2 after the initial invasion in mid-June 2003. A week after their arrival in Basra, six Royal Military Policemen were murdered in Al Majar Al Kabir, a town 100 miles to the north and so earlier than planned the 1st KOSB was fast tracked to move up to Camp Abu Naji near Al Amarah with a remit to find the killers and reinforce British Army control in the region. Corporal S. G. Jardine, C.G.C., in command of another fire team in the same battalion worked in close co-operation with Currie during this period and describes this opening phase of the deployment: ‘We made our way up through Basra towards Camp Abu Naji. The way it worked was we rotated on a four week basis...The fourth week was spent down at the Al Uzayr Security Force Base, an out station roughly 70 or 80 km south of Al Aamarah and the same distance north of Basra. It was a very small camp, an old police station in the shape of a squared-off figure eight, with courtyards in the middle. Around the whole compound, five or ten metres from the building, there was a perimeter wall. If you looked over the wall you would see Al Uzayr itself. Its a pretty poor place sitting on the banks of the Tigris there in the middle of the marshland that runs down to the Iranian border which isn’t far away at all... We would patrol the immediate area of the village and then strike out into the other villages and the marshland round about. We were just showing a presence, and obviously looking for weapons and insurgents.
