A WWII Second World War interest medal group and archive of related effects, to one 158222 Captain (later Major) William Gordon Tollworthy of the Royal Engineers who served in Burma from 1942-45 and was head of Military Intelligence in Perak (and took part in Operations Juno and Jetsam) as part of The Malayan Emergency in 1956-58. The medal group comprising; Military Cross, 1939-45 STar, The Burma Star, Defence Medal, War Medal (with oak leaf for a mention in despatches), QEII General Service Medal (with Malaya clasp and impressed Capt WG Tollworthy MC RE), George VI Territorial Efficiency Medal (impressed ditto) and Pangkuan Negara medal (Order Of The Defender Of The Realm). All with ribbons, and mounted on bar, and with their original set of miniature medals. The Military Cross comes with its original citation which, in part, reads; 'During the operations of 51 Indian Infantry Brigade at KANGAW from 27th January for a period of fourteen days, constantly under fire of every nature, he worked with unfailing energy and determination, both by day and by night with little rest. He frequently visited all areas from the beach to the forward troops, supervising the landing of heavy equipment, the development of water points, the construction of bridges and tracks and the demolition of enemy bunkers and ammunition dumps.' The medal group comes with a wealth of paperwork, effects and history - all related to Tollworthy, and includes;  - Tollworthy's Perak Combined Operations Room Pass - A box of Tollworthy's cap badges, uniform patches and other such items - A small silver white metal presentation statue engraved 'Presented To Major W.G. Tollworthy 63 Ind. Fd. Coy. Burma 1944-1945' - a post-war presentation Kundo mantel clock engraved to the top ' Presented To Major WG Tollworthy MCRE by 39 FD SQN RE, 8th Sep, 1960' - a typed copy of ' The Military Memoirs Of Major WG Tollworthy ' - based on tape recordings made by his family in 1996. The memoirs detailing his entire life and military career in great and personal detail. Also included are several copied drafts of the memoirs. - an original captured C96 'Broomhandle' Mauser detachable wooden stock / pistol case (no pistol present) - Five folders of period-written (mostly handwritten) documents written by Tollworthy during Operation Junto (some marked 'Top Secret') - includes some letters written by those arrested, various official documents, orders, notes, letters etc. As well as copious handwritten notes, encounters and other such entries.  - a 'Confidential' marked map showing the District Boundaries in Perak Police Contingent Operational Area with hand-drawn additions by Tollworthy - an original edition of 'In Defence Of Singapore - A Series Of Drawings With Brief Notes' - an envelope of photographs of Malayan soldiers / civilians - each with code numbers present to the images (presumably for identification purposes) - Various handwritten lists of ' Jetsam Surrenders ' - which appears to detail the individual details of those who surrendered during Operation Jetsam (some marked 'Surrendered To SAS'), - Photocopies of 1930s / Wartime sketches that Tollworthy drew in a friend's autograph book (with accompanying letter) - Tollworthy's 1919 dated hallmarked silver miniature tankard (likely a Christening tankard) - A large box-file of maps, documents and other items relating to the Policing of Perak and other such items including details of communist terrorist captures, interrogations, and captured CT hand-drawn maps of jungle routes, camps etc. - a quantity of intricately drawn jungle maps confiscated from terrorists during Junto - various paperwork relating to his MC including the official letter from King George An interesting piece of history within the collection is perhaps a copy of an original Japanese diary that Tollworthy once discovered when on service in the Burmese jungle during WW2. Tollworthy kept hold of the diary for many years, and in the 1990s - with the help of The Daily Telegraph - Major Tollworthy was able to reunite the diary with the family of its original owner. Lots of documents relating to the diary are included, as well as a photocopy of the entire diary itself, and a photograph of Tollworthy with the Japanese family who came over to visit him. Newspaper cuttings and related letters are also present. The entire archive makes fascinating reading, and is perhaps the most poignant factor in the collection. (more can be read about the diary here: www.olioo-me.medium.com/never-forget-that-of-250-only-20-survived-diary-of-emon-tochio-9ccfe41780f4) The entire collection - which must be considered as Tollworthy's complete military career archive from 1942-1965 - is one of the most interesting, and most important collections we have ever seen. A truly unique archive, with well over 500 individual documents and supporting items of great historical importance.

TWO PAINTED PINE TRUNKS AND TWO AMMUNITION CARTRIDGE BOXES

Pair: Sergeant V. H. Helm, Royal Army Ordnance Corps General Service 1962-2007, 1 clasp, South Arabia (23657053 Cpl V H Helm RAOC); Army L.S. & G.C., E.II.R., 2nd issue, Regular Army (23657053 Sgt V H Helm RAOC) mounted court-style as worn, the GSM a slightly later issue, nearly extremely fine (2) £80-£120 --- Volker “Buck” Hagen Helm, of 17 Woodside Road, Chilwell, was the son of Les Helm, who also served in the Ordnance Corps. He served in HQ Company, Ordnance Depot Cyprus from 1963, where he represented the Army against the Royal Air Force breaststroke. He saw further service overseas with 154th Forward Ammunition Depot in Germany; HQ BAOR Northag as a Sergeant;ANZUK (the tripartite force) in Singapore; and HQ British Forces Belize, where he served as Sergeant Supply Clerk of 3 Base Ammunition Depot. He was discharged in February 1983.

Three: Private D. Hogan, 2nd Battalion, Royal Munster Fusiliers, who was captured and taken Prisoner of War following the rear-guard action at Etreaux, during the retreat from Mons, on 27 August 1914 1914 Star, with copy clasp (8075 Pte. D. Hogan. R. Muns: F.); British War and Victory Medals (8075 Pte. D. Hogan. R. Mun. Fus.) traces of verdigris, about very fine (3) £300-£400 --- Dan Hogan served with the 2nd Battalion, Royal Munster Fusiliers during the Great War on the Western Front from 13 August 1914 and was taken prisoner of war on 27 August 1914 following the battalion’s famous rearguard action at Etreux during the retreat from Mons. The ‘Last Stand’ of the 2nd Battalion Royal Munster Fusiliers at Etreux was the result of the ‘Munsters’ being ordered to save the 1st Division, to cover the rear-guard of its retreat from Mons, to hold the village of Fesmy and only to retire if ordered or was driven out. For a whole day and more, the battalion stuck to its task, holding up nine German battalions, out-numbering the ‘Munsters’ by 5 to 6 times their strength. The Story of the Munsters at Etreux, Festubert, Rue de Bois and Hulloch, by Rickard, and The History of the Royal Munster Fusiliers, by McCance, cover the action in detail. The latter refers: ‘The action is likely to become the classical example of the performance of its functions by a rear-guard. The Battalion not only held up the attack of a strong hostile force in its original position, thereby securing the unmolested withdrawal of its Division, but in retiring drew on itself the attacks of very superior numbers of the enemy. It was finally cut off at Etreux by five or six times its numbers, but held out for several hours, the remnant only surrendering when their ammunition was practically exhausted and only a small number of men remained unhurt. The survivors were warmly congratulated by the Germans on the fine fight they had made. No other claim to a memorial near Etreux is likely to be advanced-certainly nothing which would not take second place to the Munsters.’ Sold together with a Buckingham Palace letter to released prisoners of war.

Pair: Private W. J. Sandford, Tank Corps, who was killed in action on the Western Front on 25 August 1918, during an act of heroic self-sacrifice as he succeeded, at the cost of his own life, in rescuing four of his comrades from a burning tank, for which act of gallantry he was strongly commended British War and Victory Medals (109780 Pte W. J. Sandford. Tank Corps); Memorial Plaque (William Joseph Sandford) in card envelope, with Buckingham Palace enclosure, extremely fine (3) £240-£280 --- William Joseph Sandford was born in Worcester and attested there initially for the Royal Army Service Corps, before transferring to the Tank Corps. He served with the 11th Battalion during the Great War on the Western Front, and was killed in action on 25 August 1918, whilst performing an heroic act of self-sacrifice in an attempt to rescue wounded comrades. An Appendix to the Battalion War Diary for 25 August 1918 states: ‘From:- Lieutenant F. A. Burton, No. 5 Section, “B” Company, 11th Tank Battalion. To:- Officer Commanding, 11th Tank Battalion. Sir, I have the honour to submit the following report in connection with the action at Boyelles on 23 August, 1918, in which I was wounded and taken prisoner. Orders were received from Battalion Headquarters for “B” Company to leave Blairville Wood about 10:30 p.m. on 22 August, and proceed to the front line, distant about 6 kilometres. I was in command of Tank No. 9659. The first driver and the first gunner were taken to the line by car in order that they might rest before going into action. On arrival within 2km of the line the Company had to pass under enemy shrapnel fire and all ranks were ordered to remain in their tanks until the shelled area was passed. The Company arrived in the vicinity of the “Jumping off” place about 6:15 a.m. when an enemy aeroplane was sighted and orders were received to shut down engines and camouflage tanks at once. The action was to commence at 7:00 a.m. Owing to the time taken in camouflaging, greasing, filling up, etc., the reconnaissance of the battle area had to be limited to a rather hurried discussion over a map. There was no time for Tank commanders to examine the ground over which they had to travel. The first driver and first gunner arrived just as our barrage was opened. All tanks were immediately uncovered and started into action. The Orders received by me were as follows:- Tank (9659) was to be the right hand tank of the section. On the crest of the hill about 1,000 yards distant was our front line, and on top of the next crest was the enemy front line (about 700 yards from ours). The tanks were to start after the infantry, overtake them, then cross the enemy front line and patrol it until the arrival of the infantry, after which all tanks would proceed as quickly as possible to the rallying point. The crew of the tank with the exception of the first driver and the first gunner, having been on the move all night, were more or less fatigued, and the tank was very hot. As the action proceeded the heat inside the tank became intense. On crossing the enemy front line my first driver (Corporal Hammond) and first gunner (Lance-Corporal Watkins) were killed by A.P. bullets, and whilst they were being replaced the tank received a direct hit through the front which stopped the engine and set the tank on fire. I remember nothing more until I found myself lying in a shell hole alongside the tank, and discovered that I was wounded in the right leg. The tank was burning furiously and continuous explosions of the 6 pdr. and S.A. ammunition occurring With me in the shell hole were three other survivors, Gunners Hurd, Goozee and Clark, all wounded. Gunner Clark informed me that he had been carried from the burning tank by Gunner W. Sandford, who, up to that time, was unwounded. This gallant action was performed under the heavy machine-gun fire which was being concentrated on the tank. On entering the tank again to see if he could effect further rescue Gunner Sandford was killed, presumably by the explosion of the ammunition in the tank. This statement is corroborated by the other survivors. I strongly commend to your notice the gallant conduct of Gunner W. Sandford.’ There were many cases of gallantry that, for whatever reason, went un-rewarded during the Great War, and Sandford ultimately received no medallic recognition for this gallant act. He has no known grave and is commemorated on the Vis-en-Artois Memorial, France. Sold with copied research

1914-15 Star (21756 Sjt. W. H. Clarke. North’n. R.) very fine £30-£40 --- William Henry Clarke was born in Shropshire in 1872 and originally attested for the Cheshire Regiment in 1889. Following the outbreak of the Great War he attested for the Royal Fusiliers at Chelsea on 20 August 1914 and served at home with both the 6th and 9th Battalions. Advanced Sergeant on 20 September 1915, he transferred to the newly formed 1st Garrison Battalion Northamptonshire Regiment on 27 September 1915 and embarked from Devonport on 24 October 1915. On 8 November he was charged with being drunk on ammunition guard and resisting an escort whose duty it was to apprehend him whilst at sea; on landing at West Mudros on 11 November 1915 he appeared before a Field General Court Martial and was reduced to the ranks. He later transferred to the Army Pay Corps on 12 April 1918, was promoted Corporal, and was discharged to the Reserve on 23 July 1919.

Wood, Sultan of Oman’s Armed Forces, late Royal Army Ordnance Corps, who served as the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Officer in Northern Oman Oman, Sultanate, Order of the Special Royal Emblem, Expatriate Officer’s type, silver, with Omani crown emblem on riband, in fitted Asprey, London, case of issue; Sultan’s Distinguished Service Medal, for Gallantry, bronze, with Khunjar gallantry emblem on riband; Peace Medal, bronze, with Omani crown emblem on riband; Tenth Anniversary Medal, silvered; Glorious 15th National Day Medal, bronze; Great Britain, 1939-45 Star; Italy Star; Defence and War Medals 1939-45; Army L.S. & G.C., E.II.R., 2nd issue, Regular Army (22231899 W.O. Cl.2. W. G. Wood. RAOC.) mounted court-style as worn, edge bruising, generally very fine (10) £1,000-£1,400 --- William George Wood joined the Sultan of Oman’s Armed Forces on 7 August 1976, and was awarded the Sultan’s Distinguished Service Medal for Gallantry. The Recommendation states: ‘Ra’ees [Major] William George Wood is the Officer Commanding the Ammunition Sub Depot of the Base Ordnance Depot and the senior Ammunition Technical Officer in Northern Oman This entails being on continual stand-by to deal with Explosive Ordnance Disposal requests routed through the Royal Oman Police. He has been called to deal with a number of unexploded bombs and rockets dating from 1958 which he has made safe with deceptive ease. On at least two occasions he displayed gallantry of a particularly high order. In June 1978 he had to recover an unexploded aircraft rocket from a well at Izki and because of the risk of damage to life and property he subsequently drove with it cushioned on his lap to an area where it could be safely destroyed. This was a most hazardous operation carried through with courage and skill. On 19 July 1979 he was again tasked to deal with an unexploded bomb located 800 feet below Halhal in the Jebel Akdar. Access to the bomb could only be gained by Ra’ees Wood being winched down from a helicopter. He had not flown in a helicopter before and he was therefore briefed on winching techniques prior to being winched down with his detonating equipment onto a ledge by the bomb. The fuse was lit and Wood was winched back into the helicopter to await detonation at a safe distance. No detonation occurred and after the prescribed safety time allowance Wood was winched back down to the bomb. This experienced officer was immediately aware, having seen the state of the detonator, of the danger of an immediate explosion which would have put his life and that of the helicopter crew at risk. With complete disregard for his own safety he urgently waved the helicopter away instead of asking to be winched up. He then calmly removed the faulty detonator from the charge and prepared a second. The helicopter returned, the fuse was ignited, Wood was winched back up to the helicopter, and the detonation was ultimately successful. Wood’s entire service in Oman has been characterised by tireless effort and leadership of the highest possible order. He has removed the risk of loss of life and damage to civilians and their property, and put his own life at risk on their behalf. The incidents at Izki and Halhal are examples of this officer’s outstanding personal courage and devotion to duty.’ Sold with the Bestowal Document for the Omani Order of the Special Royal Emblem, named to Major William George Wood, and dated 18 November 1985; the original typed Recommendation for the Sultan’s Distinguished Service Medal for Gallantry, mounted on card with embroidered ribbon surround; the recipient’s riband bar; and related miniature awards for the 1939-45 Star; Italy Star; War Medal 1939-45; and Army L.S. & G.C., these mounted as worn.

Four: Wing Commander R. G. Frith, Auxiliary Air Force, late Royal Flying Corps and Royal Air Force a Camel pilot in 45 Squadron who was shot down and taken Prisoner of War in November 1917 - a short but gallant combat career described in detail in an article in the Cross & Cockade Journal British War and Victory Medals (Lieut. R. G. Frith. R.A.F.); Defence Medal; Air Efficiency Award, G.VI.R., 1st issue (Wg. Cdr. R. G. Frith. A.A.F.) good very fine (4) £400-£500 --- Provenance: Dix Noonan Webb, June 2012 (when sold without the Defence Medal). Roy Godfrey Frith was educated at Whitgift Grammar School and served in the ranks of the South African Scottish for a few months prior to being commissioned Second Lieutenant, General List, for duty in the Royal Flying Corps in May 1917. Having then qualified for his pilot’s certificate, he was posted to No. 45 Squadron, a Camel unit operating out of St. Marie Cappel, near Cassel, in mid-October 1917, under Major A. M. Vaucour, M.C. He subsequently participated in numerous sorties prior to being downed in the following month, the whole in support of the recently launched Passchendaele offensive, as described in detail in James Brown’s article “Fleeting Fighter” in the Cross & Cockade Journal (Volume 10, No. 3, 1979). Frith’s first encounter with enemy Scouts during a patrol flown on 18 October, when dogfights were played out over Moorslede and Becelaere, quickly followed by another combat on the 21 October, with about 20 enemy Scouts near Houthulst, and, on the 22nd, a successful ground-strafing operation against enemy troops and transport, each of the Squadron’s Camels expending around 850 rounds. On 27 October, Frith participated in no less than three operational patrols, all of which produced close encounters and combats with enemy aircraft, with both sides taking losses; so, too, in an attack on an enemy ammunition dump, which was left burning furiously. On 29 October, he was back in action in a dogfight with 16 enemy Scouts and two-seaters over Moorslede, while on 30 October he fought an inconclusive combat with a two-seater in the vicinity of Westroosebeke. A few days later, on 5 November, Frith’s luck ran out, and he was shot down and taken Prisoner of War while piloting Sopwith Camel B5175 on an observation patrol over Moorslede, most probably by Leutnant Paul “The Iron Eagle” Baumer of Jasta 2, who ended the War as a 43-victory ace and recipient of the Blue Max. Frith survived captivity and was placed on the Unemployed List in February 1919. He subsequently joining the Auxiliary Air Force, and was advanced to Flight Lieutenant in July 1938, while serving in No. 903 (County of London) Squadron, a Balloon Section of the A.A.F., and to Squadron Leader in August 1939. Mentioned in Despatches for his services in a Balloon Section during the War (London Gazette 8 June 1944), he was advanced to Wing Commander, and received the Air Efficiency Award in May 1947.
