Bombay Staff Corps - A two-part waist belt clasp, 1855 pattern but with acanthus finials, centrally the crown over `VR` and unit title in surround, matching bench marks `XXXVIII`, together with one only small officer`s gilt tunic button to the same unit, c. 1856-1901. The Indian Staff Corps was a branch of the British Indian Army during Colonial rule. Separate Staff Corps were formed in 1861 for the Bengal, Madras and Bombay Armies, which constituted the Indian Army, although they were later amalgamated. They were meant to provide officers for the native regiments, and for the staff and army departments. They were also designed to offer placements for civil and political appointments for posts for which Indian Army officers might be eligible. Those officers who were already employed by the Army had the option to join the Staff Corps or to stay employed under the old conditions of work. In that sense it was seen by the majority of post-1860 entrants as synonymous with the Regular Officer Corps of the Indian Army. 109th Bombay Infantry (Central India) -An officer`s waistbelt clasp, bi-metal, gilt finish, bearing regimental device The 109th Regiment of Foot (Bombay Infantry) was an infantry regiment of the British Army from 1862 to 1881, when it was amalgamated into The Prince of Wales`s Leinster Regiment (Royal Canadians).The regiment was originally raised by the Honourable East India Company in 1853 as the 3rd Bombay (European) Regiment, and served in the Indian Mutiny of 1857. As with all other "European" units of the Company, they were placed under the command of the Crown in 1858, and formally moved into the British Army in 1862, ranked as the 109th Foot. As part of the Childers Reforms in 1881, the regiment was amalgamated with the 100th (Prince of Wales`s Royal Canadian) Regiment of Foot to form The Prince of Wales`s Leinster Regiment (Royal Canadians). Black Watch Volunteers Regiment - An officer`s waistbelt clasp, 19th Century, bearing regimental device. The Black Watch was formed as part of the Childers Reforms in 1881 when the 42nd (Royal Highland) Regiment of Foot (The Black Watch) was amalgamated with the 73rd (Perthshire) Regiment of Foot to form two battalions of the newly named Royal Highlanders (The Black Watch). The 1st Battalion then served in Africa taking part in the Highland Brigade`s dawn assault on the Egyptian position at Tel-el-Kebir in 1882. Two years later it was in the thick of the fight with the Mahdi`s tribesmen at El Teb and Tamai. The following year (1885) saw it taking part in the Nile Expedition and fighting at Kirbekan and Abu Klea. 18th Regiment of Foot - An officer`s waistbelt clasp, bi-metal, 19th Century, bearing regimental device, (4)

A Rare `Jordan Valley` Great War Military Cross Group of Four to Lieutenant Leonard Charles Brothers of the Fifth Company, 2nd Battalion, Imperial Camel Corps, Late 1st Company of London Yeomanry, Military Cross GRI (Ammam Lt. L.C. Brothers Imperial Camel Corps E.E.F. 1918), 1914/15 Star (3333 SJT.L.C.Brothers,1st.Co.OF.Lond.Y.), British War and Victory Medals (Liet.L.C.Brothers), mounted for wearing, together with related dress miniatures, graduated bronze camel bell, with shell decorated hessien hanger, and a North African copper cooking pot with cover. London Gazette - 16 September 1918 T./2nd Lt. Leonard Charles Brothers, Gen. List and I.C.C. For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He organised the defence under a hot enfilade fire with the greatest ability, and when the majority of the men of his forward left-hand gun had been put out of action, he took charge of the gun himself and retained the position all day.` London Gazette, 16 September, 1918. The 5th Camel Company was a British manned Company drawn from the 53rd Territorial Infantry Division. On 16 December 1916 the 5th Camel Company was absorbed into the 2nd Camel Battalion, under Colonel Robert Buxton. After the breakup of the Imperial Camel Corps on 25 July 1918, the 5th Camel Company remained as a camel formation giving assistance in the Hejaz campaign. T. E. Lawrence and Colonel Buxton`s 2nd Camel Battalion, `In August 1918, via the suggestion of his friend Colonel Dawnay, Lawrence got clearence to use two companies of the Imperial Camel Corps, under Buxton, for a renewed initiative, `Dawnay and i sat down with a map and measured that Buxton should march from the Canal to Akaba, thence by Rumm, to carry Mudowwara by night-attack, thence by Bair to destroy the bridge and tunnel near Amman, and back to Palestine on August thirteenth`, Lawrences first mention of Buxton and the Imperial Camel Corps, such were the achievements of this irregular force over the following weeks- achievements in which Lawrence shared, for he delighted in riding alongside them, that he would dedicate an entire chapter in Revolt in the Desert to their story. In late July 1918, Lawrence visited Buxton and his men for the first time, `Accordingly i went down to Akaba, where Buxton let me explain to each company their march, and the impatient nature of the Allies whom they, unasked, had come to help, begging them to turn the other cheek if their was a row, partly because they were better educated than the Arabs, and therefore less prejudiced, partly because they were very few. After such solemnities came the ride up the oppressive gorge of Itm, under the red cliffs of Nejed and over the breast-like curves of Imran, that slow preparation for Rumms greatness, till we passed through the gap before the rock of Khunail, and into the inner shrine of the springs, with its worship compelling coolness. There the landscape refused to be accessory, but took the skies, and we chattering humans became dust at its feet. It was shortly after this visit, that Colonel Buxton, participated in the reconnaissance from Rumm towards Mudowwara in Arab cloaks, and of the subsequent attack on Mudowwara, Lawrence later wrote `Next morning we heard by aeroplane how Buxtons forces had fared. They decided to assualt it before dawn mainly by means of bombers, in three parties, one to enter the station, the other two for the main redoubts. Accordingly before midnight white tapes were laid as guides to the zero point. The opening had been timed for a quarter to four, but the way proved difficult to find, so that daylight was almost upon them, before things began against the Southern redoubt. after a number of bombs had burst in and about them, the men rushed up and took it easily, to find that the station party had achieved their end a moment before. These alarms roused the middle redoubt, but only for defeat. Its men surrendered twenty minutes later. The northern redoubt, which had a gun, seemed better-hearted and splashed its shot freely into the station yard, and at our troops. Buxton, under cover of the Southern redoubt directed the fire of Brodies guns which, with their usual deliberate accuracy, sent in shell after shell. Siddons came over in his machines and bombed it, while the Camel Corps from North and East and West subjected the breastworks to severe Lewis gun-fire. At seven in the morning, the last of the enemy surrendered quietly. We had lost four killed and ten wounded. The Turks lost twenty-one killed, and one hundred and fifty prisoners, with two field-guns and three machine-guns. Buxton at once set the Turks to getting steam on the pumping engine, so that he could water his camels, while men blew in the wells, and smashed the engine-pumps, with two thousand yards of rail. At dusk, charges at the foot of the water-tower spattered it in single stones across the plan. Buxton, a moment later called `Walk-march!`, to his men, and the three hundred camels, rising like one and roaring like the day of judgement, started off to Jefer. Thence we had news of them. They rested a day, revictualled, and marched for Bair where Joyce and myself had agreed to join them. And so it was, Lawrence rejoining the men of the Camp Corps for several days, a period in which he would undoubtedly have sought out information about the attack on Mudowwara - most likely, too, from one of the heroes of the raid. It was also during this visit to the Camel Corps that Lawrence observed with pride how well the men were progressing, largely thanks to Buxton having made some useful changes. Consequently, our Imperial camel Corps had become rapid, elastic, enduring, silent; except when they mounted by numbers, for then the three hundred camels would roar in concert, giving out a wave of sound audible miles across the night. Each march saw them more workmanlike, more at home on their animals, tougher, leaner, faster. Encouraged by the victory at Mudowwara, Lawrence guided the Camel Corps towards their next target, the railway viaduct at Kissir, South of Amman, a jouney entailing another 120 mile journey behind enemy lines, a daring enterprise best summed up by Buxton `It is not unlike an attempt on the part of the Huns to blow up Waterloo Bridge, as it is many miles at the back of their lines and within five miles of their Army headquarters. But with the promise of Arab support, Lawrence`s leadership and an element of surprise, the matter should not be difficult.` Battle of Amman (1918) - The first British raid on Amman began on 21st March. The Australian 1st and 7th Light Horse Brigades attacked, supported by the Camel Brigade. The raiders were to destroy two key structures in the railroad line, a viaduct and a tunnel, and then retreat back to the Jordan River. Over a twelve day period, British forces advanced toward Amman but were unable to complete the mission because of unfamiliar terrain, torrential downpours, and fierce resistance from Turkish troops.

Anderson), GVIR, ring suspension, cased 438918 Private John William Anderson of the 24th Battalion New Zealand Infantry, was killed in action on the 24th of September 1944 in Italy, aged 22 years, Son of Andrew Mowat Anderson and of Maud Jane Anderson (nee Gent), of Clydevale, Otago, New Zealand; husband of Joyce Anderson (nee Taylor), he is buried and Remembered with Honour at Ravenna War Cemetery The Ravenna War Cemetery On 3 September 1943 the Allies invaded the Italian mainland, the invasion coinciding with an armistice made with the Italians who then re-entered the war on the Allied side. Following the fall of Rome to the Allies in June 1944, the German retreat became ordered and successive stands were made on a series of defensive lines. In the northern Apennine mountains the last of these, the Gothic Line, was breached by the Allies during the Autumn campaign and the front inched forward as far as Ravenna in the Adratic sector, but with divisions transferred to support the new offensive in France, and the Germans dug in to a number of key defensive positions, the advance stalled as winter set in. Ravenna was taken by the Canadian Corps at the beginning of December 1944, and the burials in the cemetery there reflect the fighting for the Senio line and the period of relative quiet during the first three months of 1945. Many of the men buried there were Canadians; one of the last tasks of the Canadian Corps before being moved to north-west Europe was the clearing of the area between Ravenna and the Comacchio lagoon. Others are Indians from the 10th Indian Division, and New Zealanders. The site for the cemetery was selected by the Army in 1945 for burials from the surrounding battlefields. Ravenna War Cemetery contains 955 Commonwealth burials of the Second World War, 63 of them unidentified.
