Royal Air Force - An archive relating to Wing Commander Eric N. Adlington, 910 Balloon Squadron, Admiralty, London. An extensive collection of papers covering 1939-45, comprising approximately 163 items of Balloon Sqd., ephemera, secret and other documents, together with wartime and post-war correspondence of over 60 letters, Airgrams, postcards etc from his elder brother Lt. Colonel R “Bill” Adlington, RASC, GHQ MEF, who is surprisingly frank and descriptive and apparently his own censor, written from USA, Normandy, and the Middle East. The two brothers appear to have a particularly close relationship and the letters show good insight into daily life and activities of the Royal Army Service Corps.The lot also includes over 250 items of extensive correspondence received from other serving officers, his wife and young children, father, and other relatives, blank Royal Air Force stationary and further Balloon Sq. ephemera/notebooks. The two letters marked SECRET, relate to a 1943 letter, from the Admiralty, about two balloon units for overseas at very short notice.Other literature includes a B.R 1938 Naval Ratings Handbook named to M.J.B Adlington; British S.O. Book 136 notebooks, instructions for the use of Royal Navy Glider Mk. 111, Royal Naval Kite and Balloon Section Christmas and greetings cards, together with some post-war correspondence including an invitation to drinks from the First Lord of the Admiralty, 1st Viscount Hall in 1950.The origin of the Barrage Balloons dates from around 1917, when they were created as a reposte to German Barrage balloons around industrial targets hoisted in 1914/15. As early as 1936, the Air Defense Command felt it was necessary to maintain a London barrage in case of a future war. In 1937, Balloon Barrage Group No 30 was formed as war clouds gathered over Europe. By 1939, there were 47 Barrage Balloon Squadrons, by then the English had improved designs so that dive bombing by German planes was frustrated and this reduced their ability to bomb accurately. Balloons were tethered from barges, drifters and mobile lorries as well as fixed static sites. The flying of Barrage Balloons was finished in the United Kingdom in 1944 and Balloon Command was disbanded in February 1945.Provenance: Purchased at Dickins Auctioneers in November 2010, originally from the collection of RAF Wing Commander Adlington.

A silver military twin-handled trophy cup awarded to 2nd Lieutenant Bremner, 20th Hussars, at the Army Athletic Meeting 1893, for 1st Prize in the Officer's Tent Pegging competition, hallmarked for John Newton Mappin for Mappin and Webb, London, 1892, 13.2cm highNotes: Harry Bremner (1870 - 1896). Harry joined Cheltenham College at the age of fifteen shortly following his father's death in 1895. Bremner was noted for being a very keen sportsman and competed for the college in rowing and rugby in 1888, and, according to college records, was Amateur Heavyweight Boxing Champion in Scotland.In 1892, he joined the army (following in the footsteps of his older brother, Donald). He joined the 20th Hussars from the militia and was made Lieutenant in October 1893. By 1896, he was the senior subaltern at Mhow in India and had recently been appointed adjutant when, according to An Irregular Corps in Matabeleland by Lt. Col. H. Plumer, he ... 'took leave to Matabeleland. He had ridden from Umtali in the hopes of catching up the Natal troop of Volunteers which, under Captain Turner, 2nd West Riding Regiment, was on its way to Matabeleland via Charter, when the Mashona rebellion broke out, and it was ordered to Salisbury. Lieutenant Bremner rode in one day from Marandell's to Charter, and there finding that the Natal troops had gone on to Salisbury, determined to ride back the next day on the same and only available horse to Marandella's. He had evidently off-saddled to rest at White's farm, on the return journey, when he was murdered. The body was lying half under a table in the dwelling-house, and from its position it appeared as if Bremner must have been suddenly attacked from behind. Some weeks later a letter written by White was found in the bush near the house, stating that the Mashonas had suddenly attacked him and Bremner, that the latter had been killed and he himself was mortally wounded. White's body was never found. Before leaving, we buried poor Bremner in front of the house as decently as possible in the circumstances.'The event was of sufficient significance to be raised in parliament; Harry was seen as a very promising young officer.Sold together with a transcript of related research and family history.Condition:Weight is approximately 300 grams.
