A rare and deeply poignant Second War ‘Operation Demon’ D.S.M. group of seven awarded to Commissioned Engineer L. F. Bartlett, Royal Navy, who was decorated for his gallant deeds aboard the destroyer H.M.S. Hero during the evacuation of Allied troops from Greece in April and May 1941. Described by one old hand as ‘far worse than Dunkirk’, the traumatic events are largely forgotten today, but bear witness to terrible suffering and loss Distinguished Service Medal, G.VI.R. (L. F. Bartlett. Ch. Engn. Room Art. H.M.S. Hero.); 1939-45 Star; Atlantic Star; Africa Star; Defence and War Medals 1939-45; Royal Navy L.S. & G.C., G.V.R., 3rd issue, coinage head (M.34517 L. F. Bartlett. E.R.A.1. H.M.S. Courageous.) mounted as worn, the last with minor official correction to ship’s name, good very fine and better (7) £1,000-£1,400 --- Provenance: Oliver Stirling Lee Collection, Dix Noonan Webb, December 2004. D.S.M. London Gazette 11 November 1941: ‘For gallantry and distinguished services in operations in Greek waters.’ Leslie Francis Bartlett was born in Weymouth, Dorset, on 23 December 1903. He joined the Royal Navy at Portsmouth on 3 December 1921 as a schoolboy, later witnessing service aboard a wide variety of ships and shore establishments, including Warspite, Crocus, Fisgard, Ross and the light cruiser Cardiff. Awarded his Long Service and Good Conduct Medal in December 1936, he transferred to the destroyer Hero as Chief Engine Room Artificer 2nd Class on 26 July 1939 and was soon in the thick of the action during the Norwegian campaign, and that off Cape Spada on 19 July 1940. The latter encounter proved a short and violent affair where the cruiser H.M.A.S. Sydney successfully despatched one Italian cruiser and severely damaged another off the coast of Crete; it fell to Hero and her consorts to pluck 525 survivors of the Bartolomeo Colleoni from the Mediterranean Sea. Successfully intercepting a Vichy French convoy of four merchant ships off Melilla on 1 January 1941, Hero was soon engaged in the British invasion of the Italian island of Kastelorizo, a prime site for a motor-torpedo base to challenge Italian naval might in the Dodecanese region. Transferred to escort duties in the spring, Bartlett witnessed the bombardment of Tripoli by Allied warships on 20 April 1941, before it soon became clear that the Metaxas defensive line had been overwhelmed and Britain, Australian and New Zealand were facing a critical situation in Greece. Sent to investigate the situation at Kalamata, the account by Leading Torpedo Operator A. L. Ward gives a detailed insight as to the sights witnessed by the crew of Hero at that time: ‘As we approached to within a few miles, we could see what seemed to be huge fires burning and, as we closed, tracer bullets could be seen flying from it seemed in all directions... Both sea boats (whalers) were lowered and, because the regular crews were closed up on the guns, manned by a motley crew, in fact anyone who could use an oar and was willing to have a go. The boats returned with many defiant, angry, worn out, tired and hungry troops... Under the control of the Chief Coxswain, the senior ratings organised the distribution of our passengers around the ship, in every conceivable nook or space on the upper deck, even under the torpedo tubes for the walking fit. A few swimmers did survive and these were, after a hot shower, given a variety of clothes from volunteers whilst their clothes were being dried out in the boiler room.’ Ward continues: ‘Long after collecting my demob suit in 1947, I was still occasionally awakened at night following dreams of the events at Kalamata in the Peloponnese. No other episode or incident such as dive bombing by Stukas, the action at Narvik, night action in the Mediterranean, or involvement in the relief of Tobruk and the later evacuation of Crete, affected me [so much] as did the retrieving of troops from the beaches of Kalamata. The cries of obviously exhausted men, making valiant attempts to swim from the shore, pleading for help, still echoes in my ears. “Can you see me?” some called out, and, peering into the inky night blackness, we would, with an effort of untruthful reassurance answer, “Yes, a few more strokes and you have made it!”; a cry, a gurgle and then silence, absolute silence and nothing that we on the waiting ship could do...’ Awarded the D.S.M., Bartlett later served aboard the minesweeping sloop Fraserburgh and the sloop Folkestone. Advanced Commissioned Engineer, he came ashore in September 1945, ending his career on attachment to the United States Navy Advanced Amphibious Base at Appledore. Sold with copied research.

Bear & Nibbler ‘Screem’ ‘Screem’ is an interpretation of Edvard Munch's famous work 'The Scream'. Bear and Nibbler invite you to take your time trying to find the screaming face. Bear and Nibbler have used a different colour palette to that of their favourite 18th-century oil painter, as they wanted to use some brighter tones to better reflect their bold personality. The painting was created using only the artist's nose, tongue and legs and they enjoyed seeing their vision come to life. Measuring approximately 30 x 21 cm. Each unique piece of artwork has been created by the animals, using card or canvas and animal-safe paints, which are squeezed onto the medium and covered with a protective film. The animal's favourite food is then placed on the film, and the paint underneath is 'painted' onto the canvas as they enjoy their tasty treat! Animal painting is an activity that carers at the Rescue Centre do with dogs as part of their rehabilitation programme, to help them get ready for rehoming. Jodie Bennett, Community & Engagement Officer at Bristol Animal Rescue Centre says 'Part of the rehabilitation process is doing a series of enrichment activities to help the animals bond with carers and learn to have fun again. Many of the animals really enjoy painting, it’s a fantastic enrichment activity for them that gets them out of the kennels and gives them that one-on-one attention that they love.' Bristol A.R.C. has been caring for the city’s pets and wildlife since 1887, helping, healing and homing thousands of vulnerable animals each year. They are the longest-standing and largest local animal charity, and although we are proud to be affiliated with the RSPCA, they receive no automatic funding from it. They rely entirely on local support within the community to fund their vital work. More information can be found on their website www.bristolarc.org

Lot 1405
Circa 15th century A.D. Formed with a slightly curved profile and with suspension loops; buff-coloured. 298 grams, 26.5 cm (10 1/2 in.).Acquired 1990s-early 2000s. East Anglian private collection.Apart from badges as souvenirs of visits to various saints’ shrines, pilgrims might also bear away with them various noise-making items such as horns, whistles, rattles and bells. The miniature horn-shaped lead whistles known from London and Salisbury bear various inscriptions including bla me [blow me] and ave maria. In the contemporary ‘morality’ play Mankind (c.1465-70) of East Anglian provenance, the character Nought says I kan pype in a Walsyngham wystyll, which suggests that such souvenir whistles were available from the shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham too, and that already such ‘tourist’ trinkets were regarded as a proverbial type of worthlessness, ‘not worth a whistle’, indeed.
