The South Atlantic and Gulf operations group of four awarded to Lieutenant-Commander S. J. Ball, Royal Navy, who was aboard H.M.S.

Stephen James Ball was born in 1956 in Tripoli, Libya. He volunteered for service in the Royal Navy in January 1974 serving aboard a number of different vessels, including H.M.S. Sheffield from 3 March 1980, which ship he was still serving aboard when she was sunk by an Exocet missile during the Falklands War. A specialist engineer, he received his commission in February 1989, remaining with the service until his retirement as Lieutenant-Commander in September 2006. The sinking of H.M.S. Sheffield At approximately 10a.m. on 4 May 1982, HMS Sheffield was at defence watches, second degree readiness, as part of the British Task Force dispatched to the Falkland Islands. Sheffield had relieved her sister ship Coventry as the latter was having technical trouble with her radar. Sheffield and Coventry were chatting over the radio when communications suddenly ceased. Then an unidentified message was heard flatly stating "Sheffield is hit". The flagship, Hermes dispatched the escorts Arrow and Yarmouth to investigate, and a helicopter was launched. Confusion reigned until Sheffield's Lynx helicopter unexpectedly landed aboard Hermes carrying the Air Operations Officer and Operations Officer, confirming the disaster. Sheffield had picked up the incoming missiles on her ancient radar system and the Operations Officer informed the Missile Director, who queried the contacts with the fire control system. The launch aircraft had not been detected as the British had expected, and it was not until smoke was sighted that the target was confirmed as sea skimming missiles. Five seconds later, an Exocet impacted Sheffield amidships, approximately 8 feet above the waterline on Deck 2, tearing a gash in the hull, whilst the other one splashed into the sea half a mile off her port beam. The Exocets were fired from two Super Étendards launched from Río Grande, Tierra del Fuego, Naval Air Base, piloted by Lieutenant Armando Mayora and Captain Augusto Bedacarratz, who commanded the mission. The MOD report into the sinking of the Sheffield concluded that; "Evidence indicates that the Warhead did not detonate". Some of the crew and members of the Task Force believe however that the missile's 165 kilogram warhead did in fact detonate upon impact. Regardless, the impact of the missile and the burning rocket motor set Sheffield ablaze. Accounts suggest that the initial impact of the missile immediately crippled the ship's onboard electricity generating systems and fractured the water main, preventing the anti-fire mechanisms from operating effectively, and thereby dooming the ship to be consumed by the raging fire. After the ship was struck, her crew, waiting to be rescued, sang "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" from Monty Python's Life of Brian. The burnt-out hulk was taken in tow by the Rothesay class frigate HMS Yarmouth but sank at 53°04'S, 56°56' W on 10 May 1982; high seas led to slow flooding through the hole in the ship’s side which eventually took her to the bottom. This made her the first Royal Navy vessel sunk in action in almost forty years. Twenty of her crew (mainly on duty in the Galley area) died during the attack. The wreck is a war grave and designated as a protected place under the Protection of Military Remains Act 1986. Sold with original Certificate of Service, History Sheet for Marine Engineering Artificer, copy of recipient’s final appraisal prior to his retirement, Kit Record Book and three photographs including recipient.

Lot 495

The notable Northern Ireland and South Atlantic campaign group of three awarded to Sergeant (later Lieutenant) I. D. Fisk, Royal Marines, who was mentioned in despatches for gallantry whilst serving as Missile/Gun Director aboard H.M.S. Yarmouth, when during repeated Argentine air attacks ‘his efforts were rewarded by at least two confirmed kills’ General Service 1962-2007, 1 clasp, Northern Ireland (P028197B I. D. Fisk L. Cpl RM); South Atlantic 1982, with rosette and M.I.D. oak leaf (Sgt I D Fisk P028197B RM); Royal Navy L.S. &  G.C., E.II.R., 2nd issue (Lt I D Fisk RM) mounted as worn, good very fine (3) £4,000-£5,000 --- Importation Duty This lot is subject to importation duty of 5% on the hammer price unless exported outside the UK --- --- Provenance: Dix Noonan Webb, May 2016. M.I.D. London Gazette 8 October 1982. The original recommendation states: 'During the period of the Falklands conflict, Sergeant Fisk served as Missile/Gun Director (Visual) in H.M.S. Yarmouth. In the period prior to hostilities he used considerable initiative to acquire and mount extra close range Anti-Aircraft weapons on the upper deck and trained crews to use them. During hostilities and, in particular, during amphibious operations in San Carlos Water the days following (21 May-2 June), the ship came under numerous air attacks. Throughout these attacks Sergeant Fisk conducted the close range Air defence of the ship from his exposed position on the G.D.P. with exceptional vigour, courage and leadership. His efforts were rewarded by at least two confirmed kills and several other aircraft were damaged or deterred by close range weapons. Throughout long periods of less immediate danger, but often in appalling weather, between late April and late June he sustained the morale and vigilance of his lookouts and weapon crews in their exposed positions. Although no single act of gallantry or leadership can be cited, Sergeant Fisk's stamina, courage and leadership made a major contribution to the effectiveness of the ship over a prolonged period and are worthy of recognition.’ A further endorsement on his recommendation, signed by Admiral J. D. E. Fieldhouse, states: ‘Sergeant Fisk showed outstanding courage, resource and leadership during repeated air attacks. He is recommended for the award of a Mention in Despatches.’ Ian David Fisk joined H.M.S. Yarmouth in August 1981 and had been serving in the Royal Marines for 12 years at the time of being recommended for his “Mention” in June 1982. The Yarmouth was a Type 12 Rothsay Class Frigate and steamed almost 40,000 miles in the period April-July 1982, often in atrocious conditions. She arrived off the Falklands in late April and quickly saw action. When on 4 May Sheffield was hit by an Exocet missile, Arrow and Yarmouth having narrowly been missed by a second missile, went to her aid. While Arrow was fighting the fire, Yarmouth fought off a possible submarine attack. She then joined Arrow alongside Sheffield and fought the fire until the destroyer was abandoned and the survivors taken off. For the next four days of foggy weather Yarmouth remained with the carrier group, before being despatched to take the still floating Sheffield in tow. She went along­ side the stricken ship in the early hours of 9 May and passed a tow. For twenty-nine hours Sheffield, with her White Ensign still flying, was towed much of the time in daylight and within range of enemy aircraft until, as the wind increased to gale force, the towed ship heeled over and, at 7a.m. on 10 May, sank. Yarmouth headed back towards the Task Force. A week of storms followed and Yarmouth, the oldest escort ship in the Tank Force, rode out the weather with no damage despite her twenty-two years. On 19 May, the amphibious landing group arrived, joined the Task Force and headed West to the Falkland Sound. The amphibious landing took place in the early hours of the 21 May in San Carlos Water. Yarmouth’s task was to provide anti-submarine and anti-air Protection. Throughout the bright, sunny day she patrolled in Falkland Sound as enemy Mirage and A4 aircraft attacked both the landing area in San Carlos Water and the ships protecting the landing force. During one such attack in the afternoon, Ardent was hit and set on fire. Shortly afterwards a wave of Skyhawks again attacked Ardent which immediately began to list and to burn more fiercely. Yarmouth went to her aid and took off the ship's company as the fire spread towards the magazines. She then headed for San Carlos Water where she transferred Ardent’s crew to the Canberra before resuming her patrol in the Sound. The next ten days saw Yarmouth in San Carlos Water by day and leaving at dusk each night to carry out a variety of tasks including shore bombardment, anti-submarine patrols, covert operations and escorting merchant ships to and from the landing area. Each morning at dawn she returned to San Carlos Water to provide anti-aircraft protection for the landing ships. This was a particularly testing, time for the two hundred and fifty men onboard as they spent the daylight hours at Action Stations, subject to frequent air attacks, and with little time for sleep at night. Many ships present at that time suffered damage from air attacks and only the concentrated fire of Yarmouth’s 4.5, inch and 20mm. guns, Seacat missile and small arms kept the enemy air­craft at bay. After this testing period, Yarmouth sailed East to the repair area and spent two days with a repair ship where she carried out essential maintenance before rejoining the Task Force. Most nights during the following week 6-13 June the ship was in­volved in bombarding enemy positions to the West of Port Stanley with her 4.5 inch guns. During the conflict she fired well over a thousand rounds, some thirty-two tons of shells. The ship’s machinery performed marvellously as Yarmouth dashed nearly two hundred miles each way to and from the Islands at high speed to carry out the bombardment by night and arrive back with the battle group to replenish fuel and ammunition before heading inshore once more. On one such mission the ship encountered a small coaster packed with Gurkhas and essential supplies, immobilised by a rope around her propeller and prey for enemy aircraft. Yarmouth’s diving team freed her screws, and the vessel was able to proceed to Goose Green. On another night the frigate stood by and provided firefighting and medical aid to the Glamorgan when the destroyer was hit by an Exocet missile fired from shore near Port Stanley. After Port Stanley had been re-taken, Yarmouth was despatched to South Georgia, an island of glaciers and icebergs, and from there to Southern Thule to join Endurance and enforce the surrender of the Argentine contingent there. She later took the prisoners of war from South Georgia to Port Stanley.­ On 7 July, after several more days patrolling with the Battle Group, she began her eight thousand mile voyage home in company with Exeter and Cardiff.  Apart from invincible she was the last of the original Task Force to leave the area.

British Pattern 1908 Cavalry Sword, WWI Era A British Pattern 1908 Cavalry Sword, standard issue for British cavalry troops during World War I (1914–1918). Key features include a straight, thrust-oriented steel blade with a pronounced fuller running along its length for improved balance. The hilt is fitted with a polished steel bowl guard providing hand protection and a grip wrapped in textured material, likely leather or composite, with a crosshatched pattern for secure handling. Markings on the ricasso include the iconic Broad Arrow symbol, denoting British government property, "EFD" for the Royal Small Arms Factory, Enfield, and potential date codes such as "12 88" or "17" indicating manufacture or inspection years. The blade length for such swords typically measures around 35 inches, with an overall length of approximately 43 inches. The sword reflects design changes prioritising thrust over cutting, aligning with the demands of early 20th-century cavalry combat. The visible marking "P '08" confirms it as a Pattern 1908, a model that remained in service through WWI and later ceremonial use. Further examination may reveal additional regimental or manufacturer-specific details.

The box, rectangular and textured with a grey mottled finish, measures approximately 20-25 cm in length, 12-15 cm in width, and 4-5 cm in height. The top features "PARKER" in gold text alongside the iconic arrow logo. The interior is lined with a soft light-grey velvet, housing a dense foam insert to secure the pen. A metallic insignia affixed inside reads: "PARKER BY APPOINTMENT TO H.M. THE QUEEN MANUFACTURERS OF PENS, PENCILS AND INKS PARKER PEN COMPANY, NEWHAVEN, ENGLAND," along with a royal warrant crest. The pen itself features a marbled green resin cap with gold-tone accents, including the signature arrow clip and two parallel bands at the cap's base. A polished black barrel with engraved "PARKER" text and additional gold rings completes the refined aesthetic. Likely part of a collectible range, this set dates from the mid-20th century to early 21st century, a period when Parker combined vintage-inspired designs with modern manufacturing.
