Liverpool Shipwreck and Humane Society, Marine Medal, 2nd type oval medal with ‘Liver Bird’ suspension, reverse inscribed ‘John Park A.B., S.S. Batavia, 16 Dec. 1872’, additionally inscribed on the edge, ‘For great courage & humanity in going in the boat in a heavy gale & rescuing 9 of the crew of the Charles Ward abandoned 20. Nov. 1872’, edge bruises, otherwise good very fine £500-£700 --- The Liverpool Shipwreck and Humane Society records state:
‘For a most gallant and seaman-like rescue of nine survivors of the crew of the “Charles Ward” which was dismasted and about to be torn to pieces by the fearful violence of the winds and waves in the Atlantic on the 20th November 1872. The weather was so bad that they could not hoist up the lifeboat after the rescue and it had to be abandoned.’ John Park was serving as Able Seaman aboard the Cunard liner S.S. Batavia on her last voyage to Boston when she was alerted to the plight of the Charles Ward, of Newcastle, which was foundering a mid-Atlantic gale. The Liverpool Albion of 14 December 1872 describes the scene: ‘At 4 p.m. a dismasted vessel was sighted. A furious squall had just broken upon us, and the sea was running mountains high, to use the popular expression. Nevertheless, Capt. Moreland immediately bore up to the wreck, which was making signals of distress, ordered out a life boat and called out for volunteers. To a landsman it seemed like deliberate suicide to go out in such a storm, but our third and fourth officers and eight men answered the call with a promptness that compelled a cheer. The wreck, a barque, was in a pitiful condition. Her main-mast was naked; her mizzen-mast and her bowsprit were gone, and her foremast was but a stump wreathed and cumbered with a ruin of sails and cordage... We could see nine men clinging to the main rigging.’ The rescue was effected over an hour, one man at a time, using a line and buoy in treacherous seas. Once aboard the Batavia it was noted: ‘They had been in the main rigging some thirty-one hours, without food or water, and were so frozen and exhausted that they could hardly speak and the minds of several were wandering’. The Charles Ward sank the following morning; for their bravery, the crew of the lifeboat received silver medals and Captain Moreland was recognised with the award of the gold medal.

The Great War D.S.O. group of nine awarded to Captain P. W. S. King, Royal Navy, who commanded H.M.S. Liberty at the battle of Jutland and was decorated for ramming and sinking the UC-46 in February 1917 Distinguished Service Order, G.V.R., silver-gilt and enamel, with integral top riband bar; 1914-15 Star (Lt. Commr. P. W. S. King, R.N.); British War and Victory Medals, with M.I.D. oak leaves (Lieut. Commr. P. W. S. King. R.N.); 1939-45 Star; Atlantic Star; Defence and War Medals 1939-45, with M.I.D. oak leaf; Russia, Empire, Order of St Anne, 3rd Class breast badge with swords, gold and enamels by Edouard, one sword blade lacking, mounted as worn, generally good very fine (9) £3,000-£4,000 --- Importation Duty This lot is subject to importation duty of 5% on the hammer price unless exported outside the UK --- --- D.S.O. London Gazette 23 March 1917. M.I.D. London Gazette 15 September 1916 (Jutland) and 4 October 1940. Order of St Anne, 3rd Class with swords London Gazette 5 June 1917. Conferred by the Russian Government for distinguished service rendered in the Battle of Jutland. Philip Wilfred Sidney King was born at Penge on 19 March 1881, and entered the training ship Britannia in May 1899, being appointed Midshipman in October 1900. He was promoted to Lieutenant in June 1906 and to Lieutenant-Commander in June 1914, whilst commanding H.M.S. Flying Fish. He took command of H.M.S. Liberty in October 1915, in which ship he fought at the battle of Jutland as part of Admiral Tyrwhitt’s Harwich Force, attached to the Battle Cruiser Fleet (Mentioned in Despatches). In the early hours of February 8th, 1917, H.M. Destroyer Liberty was patrolling in the Dover defile when, at just after 3 a.m., a large submarine was seen to break surface and lying almost at right angles to Liberty, slightly off the destroyer’s starboard bow but right in the centre of the moon’s rays. Straight for the conning-tower under the full moon the Liberty steered at full speed, firing one shot. Unfortunately this shot fell wide, and the flash from the gun blinded those on the bridge. Lieut.-Commander King therefore determined not to waste time but ram the German. Travelling at a speed of 24 knots, the destroyer hit the enemy a magnificent blow only two feet forward of the conning-tower. Despite the great speed and weight of the destroyer hitting a mere 420 German tons, the latter’s dull weight momentarily stopped the destroyer dead. Not put off by that, Lieut.-Commander King began dropping depth charges, which of course exploded to some purpose, and the fate of UC-46 was rapidly settled. It was discovered that the destroyer was beginning to leak quickly but it was later established beyond all doubt that she must have cut through the submarine to a depth of at least four feet. King was awarded the D.S.O. for his neat performance. King was placed on the Retired List at his own request on 17 July 1930, with the rank of Captain. During the Second World War, he was appointed Deputy Sea Transport Officer at Falmouth and was mentioned in despatches in October 1940 ‘for good services over a period.’ Sold with original D.S.O. Warrant, two M.I.D. Certificates, dated 15th September 1916 and 4 October 1940, three photographs and a Lt-Cmdrs epaulette; together with copies of his service record, confirmation of the Russian Award from Admiralty records, and the official action reports for the sinking of the UC-46 (Oberlt. Fritz Moecke) which include a photograph of the considerable damage caused to the hull of H.M.S. Liberty.

London Gazette 31 December 1977. Cecil Barry Brennan first saw active service in the Korea War, most likely aboard one of several aircraft carriers employed in that conflict, but in exactly what capacity he was employed during the Suez crisis and off the Malay Peninsula in the mid-1960’s remains unknown. He had, meanwhile, in September 1962, been awarded the Royal Navy L.S. & G.C., while serving at Osprey, the A./S. School at Pentland. In terms of adding further ribands to his already impressive array of awards, 1977 proved a busy year, witnessing as it did the gazetting of Brennan’s B.E.M. (listed under M.O.D. Navy Department), the award of his Jubilee Medal (official records confirm) and of his Royal Navy Meritorious Service Medal, the latter being one of the first of the “new issues” (see O.M.R.S. Journal, Spring 1980). Extraordinary it is then to relate that yet another campaign award was to follow, namely his South Atlantic 1982 for services as Master at Arms aboard H.M.S. Endurance. As the ‘sole regular bearer of the White Ensign south of the Equator’, the Endurance represented the only visible trace of British interests in the Falkland Islands being taken seriously, so when news was received that she was to be withdrawn and scrapped, her C.O., Captain N. Barker, took up the offensive with Whitehall. Fortuitously for British interests, he won a reprieve, and, as a consequence, his ship and his crew were able to play a crucial part in the capture of South Georgia and at the retaking of the outlying dependency of South Thule - and in associated S.B.S. operations. Barker, ‘who had a swashbuckling disregard of rules and regulations which was bound to annoy bureaucrats’, paid a heavy price for his intuitive and determined intervention into the world of diplomacy and politics, any promise of flag rank being effectively curtailed before the War even started. Equally upsetting was the fact that his C.B.E. was not announced until the October following the main Falklands Honours List, but by then his respect for such accolades had clearly dwindled. As he later remarked, on hearing that a formal Falklands inquiry was to be established, “Most of those who might be found culpable [for the invasion having taken place] have been knighted, promoted or decorated - or all three.” The full story of the Endurance’s significant role in the South Atlantic campaign is related in his memoirs Beyond Endurance: An Epic of Whitehall and the South Atlantic, but also see Roger Perkins’ definitive history Operation Paraquat.

Cumberland) mounted as worn, the Great War medals good fine, otherwise good very fine (11) £1,800-£2,200 --- Importation Duty This lot is subject to importation duty of 5% on the hammer price unless exported outside the UK --- --- Provenance: Douglas-Morris Collection, Dix Noonan Webb, February 1997. D.S.M. London Gazette 26 January 1943: ‘For Bravery and Resolution in H.M. Ships while taking a convoy to North Russia in the face of relentless attacks by enemy aircraft and submarines.’ The following recommendation was extracted from Admiralty records: ‘Samuel James Hughes, Chief Mechanician, H.M.S. Dianella. For efficient performance of his duties in full charge of the engines throughout an arduous period in North Russia from July to September 1942 and particularly as part of the escort of PQ.17 and for fine example shown when carrying 61 survivors in the ship for 8 days, and his sound bearing during repeated air attacks.’ PQ 17, consisting of 36 merchant ships, left Reykjavik on 27 July 1942, bound for North Russia and carrying arms and supplies at a critical phase of the War in Russia. The importance attributed to this convoy may be judged by the size of the close escort which comprised: the Destroyers Keppel, Offa, Fury, Leamington, Ledbury and Wilton; Corvettes Lotus, Poppy, Dianella and La Malouine; Minesweepers Brittomart, Halcyon and Salamander; Trawlers Lord Austin, Ayrshire, Northern Gem and Lord Middleton; AA Ships Palomares and Pozarica; and the Submarines P614 and P615. The close covering force consisted of the Cruisers London, Norfolk, Tuscaloosa (USA) and Wichita (USA), and Destroyers Somali, Rowan and Wainwright. The distant covering force consisted of the Battleships Duke of York and Washington, the Aircraft Career Victorious, the Cruisers Cumberland and Nigeria, and 14 Destroyers. The total number of major and minor war ships involved in the escort and support groups was greater than the vessels they were to protect. Yet, with such protection, the Convoy suffered losses of nearly 70%. On 30 June the German Force I put to sea comprising the Battleships Tirpitz, the Cruiser Admiral Hipper, and the Destroyers Karl Galster, Friedrich Ihn, Hans Lody, Thedor Riedel and the Torpedo Boats T7 and T15. On 3 July, Force II put to sea comprising the pocket battleships Lutzow and Admiral Scheer and the Destroyers Z24, Z27, Z28, Z29, Z30 and Richard Beitzen, the intention being to join up with Force I. Relentless air attacks by bombers flying from German airbases in northern Norway, coupled with incendiary attacks by submarines operating in Wolf packs, began to take a heavy toll on the merchant ships with losses increasing daily. On 4 July the First Sea Lord Admiral Pound, expecting a German surface attack in superior strength on the close support group, ordered the cruisers and escort destroyers to turn back to the west and instructed the convoy to scatter. Between 4 and 6 July, 18 freighters were sunk by surface ships, submarines and land-based aircraft. On 7 July three further ships were torpedoed by submarines. On 10 July three ships were bombed and sunk by aircraft. Only when the surviving ships of the convoy began to straggle onto Archangel did it become apparent that the convoy had suffered catastrophic loses. Nine ships of 56,611 tons were sunk by U-Boats; eight ships of 40,376 tons were sunk by the Luftwaffe; and eight ships which were damaged during air attacks were finished off by U-Boats. A total of 24 ships totalling 143,977 tons were lost, along with 3,350 military vehicles, 430 tanks, 210 aircraft and 99,316 tons of war supplies. Samuel James Hughes was born in Poplar, London, on 5 June 1894. After earning his living as a porter in a jam factory, he joined the Royal Navy as a Stoker 2nd Class at H.M.S. Pembroke, Chatham, on 24 October 1913. He was drafted to the Royal Naval Division on 17 September 1914 joining the Benbow Battalion and was subsequently sent to Antwerp, where he was captured and interned as a Prisoner of War at H.M.S. Timbertown, Gronigen, Holland, for the remainder of the War. He had been advanced to Stoker 1st class on 23 October 1914, and to Acting Leading Stoker on 5 February 1921. Whilst serving aboard H.M.S. Cyclops (1923-26) he was made a Stoker Petty Officer on 15 December 1923, and after passing the Mechanician's Course (1924-26) was rated Mechanician aboard H.M.S. Benbow on 21 November 1927. He subsequently served at sea aboard Cumberland (1927-29), Valiant (1930-32), Kent (1932-34) - where he was advanced to Acting Chief Mechanician 2nd Class in march 1933 - and Suffolk, prior to being pensioned on 23 October 1935. During 1933 when serving aboard Kent, he served part of his time as chauffeur Mechanic to the Commander in Chief, China Station. He was awarded the King's Jubilee Medal on 26 June 1935. Recalled for service in the Second World War on 27 August 1939, he served aboard Lucifer (1939-40) and Ferret (for Dianella) (December 1940 to 18 October 1942), when he was promoted to Temporary Acting Warrant Mechanician, a rank and original seniority date which was confirmed on 15 December 1942. He was released from the service on 26 September 1945. The Corvette H.M.S. Dianella formed part of the escort for Convoy PQ 17. When the convoy scattered and the destroyers of the escort were withdrawn on 4 July 1942, the corvettes, trawlers and rescue ships continued to North Russia and did excellent work in rounding up and taking charge of the scattered ships. He received his D.S.M. at an investiture at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday 16 February 1943. Sold with original parchment Certificate of Service, certificate for Jubilee Medal, Investiture ticket, numerous naval forms and papers and a quantity of photographs including several of Hughes.
The ‘Okinawa operations’ D.S.M. group of six awarded to Acting Leading Seaman D. I. J. Moyse, who as a Bofors gunner displayed ‘great courage and presence of mind’ aboard the aircraft carrier Illustrious during ‘a suicide attack by a Japanese aircraft which missed his position by only a few feet’: the enemy pilot’s eyeballs were afterwards found on the flight-deck, and booted overboard by a “Kiwi” from the F.A.A. Distinguished Service Medal, G.VI.R. (A./Temp. L.S. D. I. J. Moyse, DJ/X. 245806); 1939-45 Star; Atlantic Star; Burma Star, 1 clasp, Pacific; Italy Star; War Medal 1939-45, mounted as worn, some edge bruising but generally good very fine (6) £3,000-£4,000 --- Importation Duty This lot is subject to importation duty of 5% on the hammer price unless exported outside the UK --- --- D.S.M. London Gazette 23 October 1945: ‘For gallantry, skill and great devotion to duty whilst serving in H.M. Ships Formidable, Victorious, Indefatigable, Illustrious and Indomitable during the operations performed in collaboration with the United States Pacific Fleet in the capture of Okinawa and the Nansei Shoto area, over a period from 26 March 1945 to 20 April 1945.’ The recommendation states: ‘As Captain of No. 2 Bofors during a suicide attack by a Japanese aircraft which missed his gun position by only a few feet, he showed great courage and presence of mind in jumping into the layer’s seat and firing the gun when the layer was absent from his position, scoring several hits on the enemy and thereby materially assisting in the enemy’s destruction clear of the ship.’ In what was code-named “Operation Iceberg”, a series of air strikes against Okinawa and surrounding targets between March and May 1945, five British aircraft carriers, as part of Task Force 57, worked alongside the American Pacific Fleet. The British assignment was to neutralise, and keep neutralised, the enemy airfields of the Sakishima group. On several occasions the carriers were subjected to Japanese suicide attacks, or as the enemy preferred to term it “Divine Wind”, but they remained on station and mounted numerous F.A.A. strikes which accounted for 100 enemy aircraft. Of the action in which Moyse, a Devonshire man, won his D.S.M., on 6 April 1945, Kenneth Poolman records in his history Illustrious: ‘Five days later it was the turn of Illustrious. The gunners saw him coming, diving towards the forward part of the ship. Perhaps he was following the usual Tokko practice of aiming for the forward lift. Whatever he had in mind the Bofors gunners changed it for him, knocking him about so much that he exploded over the side. But he left some souvenirs behind. The starboard wing of the suicider had actually crashed into the bridge about nine feet away from Captain Lambe, and pieces of plane and pilot were scattered over the flight deck. Bob Ellison bent down rather dazedly and picked up two eyeballs and a piece of skull. He was looking stupidly at them when Don Hadman, a wild Kiwi from 1833, dashed up and grabbed the piece of skull from his hand. “That’s my mascot from now on!” he yelled. Then he booted the eyeballs over the side, for Don had never heard of Emperor Meiji and cared even less for the immeasurable blessings of the Imperial Goddess. Even so, he very soon helped yet another acolyte towards deification and “everlasting honours in the temple”, for Don was carrying his mascot when he took off and stopped the breath of the next Divine Wind to appear over the Fleet.’

Nationally Important Gold Caterpillar Club Badge and Log Books of Air Vice Marshall Donald Bennett CB, CBE, DSO, Royal Air Force, Commander of the Pathfinder Force During WW2, Caterpillar Club badge in gold with ruby eyes, reverse engraved ‘WC/CDR D C T BENNETT’. Brooch pin fitting to the reverse. Accompanying the badge are eight original Royal Air Force and Civilian Flying Log Books belonging to Bennett, the log books cover pre-war, wartime and post war period. The logs cover his time training with the RAF and also his time serving with the Imperial Airways. The most interesting from a wartime period is his civilian log book titled as ‘4’, this log has the entry on 27th April 1942, which states he was ‘Shot down low level attack on Tirpitz’ and the last entry in the log on 5th July 1942, ‘Appointed to Command Path Finder Force’. The logs are well filled out with many interesting details, including his involvement in the Berlin Airlift. Being sold by direct family descent of Air Vice Marshall Bennett. Donald Bennett was born the youngest son of a grazier and business agent in Queensland, Australia. He attended Brisbane Grammar School. After some time working in his father's business, he joined the Royal Australian Air Force in 1930, qualifying at RAAF Point Crook as a pilot. He transferred to the RAF a year later. Starting with the flying Boats of no 210 Squadron. Bennett developed a passion for accurate flying and precise navigation that would never leave him. After a period as an instructor, he left the service in 1935, retaining a reserve commission, to join Imperial Airways. Over the next five years, Bennett specialised in long-distance flights, breaking a number of records and pioneering techniques which would later become commonplace, notably air to air refuelling. In July 1938 he piloted the Mercury part of the Short Mayo Composite flying-boat across the Atlantic; this flight earned him the Oswald Watt Gold Medal for that year.During 1940 Bennett was involved in setting up the Atlantic Ferry Crossing, bringing many aircraft over from the USA to the UK. In 1941 he was recommissioned into the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve as a Squadron Leader. Promoted to Wing Commander, he was posted to command No77 Squadron, as part of Bomber Command. In April 1942, No. 77 Squadron was transferred to Coastal Command and Bennett was given command of No. 10 Squadron (Handley Page Halifax) and shortly afterwards led a raid on the German battleship Tirpitz. Shot down during that raid, he evaded capture and escaped to Sweden, from where he was able to return to Britain; he and his copilot were awarded the Distinguished Service Order (DSO) on 16 June 1942. It was for this raid on the Tirpitz which resulted in the award of the Caterpillar Club badge. In July 1942, Bennett was appointed to command the new Pathfinder Force (PFF), an elite unit tasked with improving RAF Bomber Command's navigation. At this stage of the war, Bomber Command had begun to make night-time raids deep into Germany, but had not yet been able to cause significant damage, largely because only about a quarter of the bomb loads were delivered "on target" — and this at a time when "on target" was defined as within three miles of the aim point. Bennett was called to Bomber Command HQ when he was on the point of leaving with his squadron for the Middle East. There he was informed by Sir Arthur Harris (Bomber Harris), that he was to lead a special force to make use of the new bombing and navigational aids then available and the more sophisticated ones that would follow. With effect from 5 July he was promoted to group captain. In 1943 Bennett was promoted with the upgrading of PFF to group status to air commodore, and then in December to acting air vice marshal, the youngest ever to hold that rank, giving him a rank similar to those of the other commanders of groups. He remained in command of the Pathfinder Force until the end of the war, overseeing its growth to an eventual 19 squadrons, a training flight and a meteorological flight, working relentlessly to improve its standards, and tirelessly campaigning for better equipment, in particular for more Mosquitos and Lancasters to replace the diverse assortment of often obsolete aircraft with which the force started.

The briefcase comes with a non-related letter dated the 17th September 1990 to Anna George from Ahmet Ertegun, co-founder and president of Atlantic Records. The briefcase measures 39cm x 32.5cm (15.3 inches x 12.8 inches). There are signs of use and wear including some scuffing to the corners of the case. The condition is very good.

CLEMENT MEADMORE (AUSTRALIAN 1929-2005) UNTITLED Cor-ten steel 156 x 156cm (61¼ x 61¼ in.) Executed in 1966. Provenance: Ahmet Ertegun (Turkish/American 1923-2006), record producer and philanthropist,co-founder and president of Atlantic Records Private Collection, Robert Stigwood (Australian 1934-2016), music and film producer, acquired from the above Clement Meadmore was an Australian born American sculptor renowned for his monumental pieces of sculpture that embodied the exploration of modernism. Born in Melbourne, Meadmore studied engineering at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. Shortly after enrolling on the course Meadmore converted to industrial design. Meadmore's skills in both engineering and design facilitated his artistic output aiding the successful production of monumental pieces in steel, full of balance and energy. After visiting an outdoor sculpture exhibition at Middelheim Park in Antwerp, Meadmore started experimenting with metalwork and welding. His works during the 1950s represented interlocking vertical and horizontal rods creating textured, jagged grids with a tactile nature. In 1963, frustrated by the contemporary art scene in Australia, Meadmore moved to New York. The present work was executed in 1966 after Meadmore developed a sculpture titled Bent Column, which is now held by the Newport Harbor Art Museum on Newport Beach in California. A contact sheet of twelve black-and-white images, held in the collection of the Estate of Clement Meadmore, illustrates five different sculptures that were produced as he explored new ideas in the aftermath of Bent Column. The fourth row shows the present lot, a c-shaped sculpture, with both loops straightened and twisted at ninety degrees to the broad front of the form. The simplistic, paired back nature of the work which occupies a square-section volume encourages the viewer to explore the relationship between mass and space created by the single geometric form. 'It is important to me that the entire form of a sculpture can be deduced from any single angle, otherwise one is only seeing half a sculpture at any given moment.' Clement Meadmore The present lot was acquired by Ahmet Ertegun, the co-founder and president of Atlantic Records. The independent record label was launched to support gospel, R&B and jazz music in New York. The company went on to record hit records with major artists including The Drifters and Ray Charles. Under the pseudonym of 'nuggy' Ertegun was also a successful song-writer, he famously wrote 'Mess Around' for Ray Charles amongst many other hits. Ertegun was a renowned art collector and in 2000, the art collection of Ahmet Ertegun was acquired by The Baker Museum in Naples, Florida. The collection of modern art included important pieces by American abstract artist Irene Rice Pereira, politically driven Gertrude Glass, American modernist Oscar Bluemner and Russian-American abstract painter Illya Bolotowsky amongst others. In 2006, Ertegun tragically died after falling at a Rolling Stones concert at the Beacon Theatre, New York. A year following his death Led Zeppelin performed at the O2 Arena in London as a one-off tribute concert in memory of Ertegun. The concert raised funds for the Ahmet Ertegun Education Fund which supported University scholarships throughout the UK, US and Turkey. The present work was originally installed in the grounds of Ahmet Ertegun's Russian dacha style house in Southampton, New York where he lived with his wife Mica Ertegun. It was noted in Vanity Fair that during the renovations Ertegun had the living room enlarged to accommodate an orchestra. It was most likely during the 1970s that music producer, Robert Stigwood saw the work whilst visiting his friend Ertegun at his Southampton estate. A sale was agreed and Stigwood purchased the work direct from Ertegun. Robert Stigwood was born in Port Pirie, Southern Australia in 1934. By the mid-1950s Stigwood moved to the United Kingdom and went on to become one of the most important music entrepreneurs and film producers of the 20th century. By 1970 Stigwood had achieved great success in managing Cream, Eric Clapton and the Bee Gees. Stigwood then turned his attention to film production launching with Saturday Night Fever (1977) and Grease in 1978.
