Later this officer single-handed captured an enemy howitzer together with ammunition, and himself organised a gun crew from the men of the battalion and directed the fire from this weapon on to the enemy. Throughout the action he displayed great courage under heavy fire and complete contempt for danger.’ Territorial Efficiency Decoration: London Gazette: 25 February 1955.

STANLEY CHARLES “BOMBS” PANTER, born in Warwickshire on 5 September 1909, joined the 9th (2nd City of London) Royal Fusiliers as a private soldier just before the outbreak of War in August, 1939, having previously been an active member of the Territorial unit based in Balham High Road, Tooting, South London. He fought in France and Belgium, was evacuated and granted an emergency commission as 2nd Lieutenant on 28 December 1940. In late 1941 Panter volunteered for the 1st Parachute Brigade shortly after its formation, and by July 1942 he was commanding an experimental airborne platoon nicknamed “Panter’s Pirates” before a formal transfer to the Parachute Regiment is recorded as having taken place on 1 August. He served in Tunisia, including Medjez El Bab, and as part of Operation Torch led a successful operational jump with parachute mortars over Tunis in December, 1942 (when he seems to have gained the sobriquet ‘Bombs’ for the first time). He was in Italy from September 1943 to 1 May 1944 before dropping with the A Company in Sicily (Operation Husky), and was awarded an immediate M.C. for Catania Plain. Panter landed near Arnhem on the afternoon of Sunday 17 September 1944 as T/Capt., Officer Commanding Support Company, 2nd Parachute Battalion and was closely involved in the capture and defence of the Arnhem Road Bridge under Frost, based at “Company HQ” to the north of the bridge where they held out until capture by the Germans on Thursday 21st. As Panter was wounded he was sent to a makeshift hospital but succeeded in obtaining boots and a revolver, and walked out of the building during Allied shellfire on the night of the 21st. Unluckily he did not get far, walking straight into a German patrol beside the river, and he was recaptured. Like many Arnhem prisoners he was sent initially to Stalag XIIA at Limburg before transfer to Oflag 79 (Brunswick), via Oflag XIIB; Oflag 79 was as it happened the former home of a German parachute regiment and was to be liberated by the U.S. Ninth Army on 12 April 1945. After the war Panter served with the Territorial Army until 1959, receiving the Territorial Efficiency Decoration in 1955, and he also joined the City of London Special Constabulary. He evidently wore an unofficial bar to his M.C. for Arnhem but it should be reiterated that although he was recommended for this by his unit it was not confirmed at Divisional - or, perhaps, ‘suits’ - level. Stan Panter died 0n 20 April, 1968.

He walked from carrier to carrier encouraging the crews across shell swept ground. On two occasions carriers became stuck and this officer showing the utmost coolness and determination and disregard for his personal safety, directed their recovery although they were the target of the enemy artillery. Throughout these days this officer's conduct has been an inspiration to all ranks. The Battle of Medenine, Tunisia saw the final defeat by the British Eighth Army of the Afrika Korps.

Pair: M.G.S. 1793-1814, 1 clasp Salamanca; Waterloo 1815 (Lieut. Henry Quill, 32nd Regiment Foot), GVF or better, (Waterloo suspension ring replaced by straight bar). A superb pair, roll confirms. Plate 2. Note: “The Morning Post”, Monday April 2nd 1849 states “Died, at his residence in Talbot Street, Dublin, on Monday, the 26th instant, in the 65th year of his age, Henry Quill Esq, late of the 32nd Regiment, with which corps he served in the Peninsula campaign. It was but a few weeks previous to his decease that he was presented with the well merited decoration and clasps (sic) for his services. He entered the army in 1809, and was present at the reduction of Flushing in that year. He received two severe wounds at the Siege of Burgos - one of which carried away his left eye, and considerably impaired the sight of the right; the other so shattered his leg that it narrowly escaped amputation. He was present at the Battle of Salamanca, and served in Picton’s division, which was so distinguished at Waterloo, where he received two gunshot wounds in the chest - one of the balls fractured the collar bone, penetrating the lung and carried with it some of his clothing, which was thrown up with the expectoration, but the ball became embedded in the substance, and a recovery, perhaps without a parallel in the annals of surgery ensued. The wound however, with its long train of sufferings, by weakening the constitution and inducing hoemoptysis, ultimately proved fatal. He was esteemed both in the army and in Private life for his high sense of honour and undeviating integrity. A beloved widow and four children are left to deplore his irretrievable loss.” National Archive records shows “Age at first appointment 25 Years, March 1809 Ensign 32 Foot by recommendation of General Obilbie Colonel of the 32nd Foot. £70 pension awarded in respect of “In the trenches before Burgos in Spain, loss of 1 eye” and £70 “at Quatre Bras in Flanders June 1815 a severe wound of the lungs”.

Registration : 108 YUR Chassis Number : 9698 Engine Number : 11127 Odometer reading : 21,274 miles Estimate : £5,500 - £7,500 In 1933, Velocette decided to introduce a new line of overhead valve machines in order to cut production costs and make a more affordable motorcycle. The K-Series was expensive to produce, requiring selective hand assembly of the shaft-and-bevel camshaft drive; it was determined that a simpler OHV design would be quicker to build and require less skilled labour to assemble. The first of these new machines was the MOV, using a 250cc engine of 'square' dimensions. It was an immediate success, having lively performance for the time and proved a reliable machine with excellent road manners. Velocette went on to build a 350cc version for use primarily by the British army. It is one of these that is the basis for this modified version. Whilst the frame and ancillaries are correct, it was an MAC in origin but has now been converted to the far more desirable and better performing MOV specification with a 250cc engine installed. It also has a new cylinder head, cylinder and piston and is reported to run very well indeed with a very lively motor. Restored just two years ago, all chrome work, exhaust and paintwork is in good condition and the motorcycle, overall, presents well. It has been carefully maintained by a long standing Velocette enthusiast and forms part of a fascinating collection of these classic English motorcycles.
