The Defence Medal awarded to Air Raid Precautions Rescue Party Member Mr. A. Dore, who received a King’s Commendation for Brave Conduct for his gallantry in rescuing the inhabitants of a bombed house in Streatham, South London, on 11 January 1941 Defence Medal, in card box of issue; together with two King’s Commendation for Brave Conduct plastic pin-backed badges, in card box of issue; two King’s Commendation for Brave Conduct silver laurel leaves, in card box of issue; and the recipient’s A.R.P. silver lapel badge, extremely fine (6) £300-£400 --- K.C.B.C. London Gazette 16 May 1941: Albert Dore, Member, A.R.P. Rescue Party, Wandsworth. The official citation for the British Empire Medal awarded to Frederick Charles Bell in the same Gazette, who led the rescue attempt, states: ‘Bombs demolished several houses and the occupants of one house were buried under many tons of masonry. This mass of debris was pressing against the walls of the next house which was wrecked and leaning over. The whole of this wreckage was visibly slipping and the walls cracking. The Rescue Party, under the leadership of Mr. Bell, set to work to tunnel through a tottering wall. At every step it had to be shored to prevent complete collapse. The people were trapped under floorboards and rescue was impeded by a piano which was both pinning down the victims and at the same time preventing the floorboards from crushing them. Despite the steadily widening cracks in the walls and the increasing danger from the moving wreckage, the Rescue Party continued to work for nine hours and succeeded in bringing out six casualties.’ Sold together with the recipient’s King’s Commendation for Brave Conduct in Civil Defence Certificate, in OHMS envelope, addressed to ‘Mr. Albert Dore, 173 Eardley Road, SW16’; Central Chancery enclosures for the emblems; two London County Council letters of congratulations; HQ London Civil Defence Region letter of congratulations; copy of the London Gazette announcing the award; and other ephemera.

Sold by Order of the Family ‘Ohio, being the only tanker, was marked for particular attention, and during the course of her voyage suffered a direct hit from a torpedo, direct bomb hits, any number of near-misses, and was struck by two Luftwaffe aircraft shot down while attacking her. Despite her engines being dead and her hull practically broken in two, she was towed into Grand Harbour by three destroyers and a minesweeper with her cargo virtually intact.’ (The Ohio and Malta - the Legendary Tanker that Refused to Die by Michael Pearson) ‘H.M. Ships were handled throughout with skill and daring, particularly during the final stages when, in the face of concentrated attack from air, submarine and surface forces, it became necessary to tow one of the most important and unwieldy vessels in the convoy, the S.S. Ohio, which had been seriously damaged.’ (Introduction to recommendations for awards to officers and men for Operation Pedestal - Honours and Awards Committee) The important Second War 1942 ‘Operation Pedestal’ D.S.O. group of twelve awarded to Commander H. J. A. S. Jerome, Royal Navy, who, as Commanding Officer of the 17th Minesweeping Flotilla, Malta Force, took operational command during the later stages of Operation Pedestal - the allies final effort to relieve the beleaguered island of Malta - and, under the most trying of circumstances, successfully co-ordinated the safe passage of the vital yet crippled tanker, Ohio, to the safe berth of Valetta’s Grand Harbour. Having arrived in H.M.S. Speedy following the departure of the main convoy escort, Jerome set about organising repeated efforts to stabilise the slowly sinking Ohio even as she remained the object of relentless air attack and under continuous threat from enemy submarines and E-boats. Finally, with a destroyer on either side, another destroyer secured astern to act as rudder and a minesweeper positioned for towing, he succeeded in slowly manoeuvring the fragile tanker through the heavily mined approach towards her ultimately tumultuous reception from the Maltese. A young Midshipman in the battle cruiser H.M.S. Courageous during the Great War, Jerome had served in submarines between the wars and went on to end his distinguished naval career as Commander in Chief of the Irish Navy. Sold with a substantial archive of related original material Distinguished Service Order, G.VI.R., silver-gilt and enamel, reverse officially dated 1942, with integral top riband bar; British War and Victory Medals (Mid. H. J. A. S. Jerome. R.N.); 1939-45 Star; Atlantic Star, 1 clasp, France and Germany; Africa Star, 1 clasp, North Africa 1942-43; Italy Star; Defence and War Medals 1939-45; Naval General Service 1915-62, 1 clasp, Minesweeping 1945-51 (Cdr/ H. J. A. S. Jerome. D.S.O. R.N.); Spain, Franco Period, Cross of Naval Merit with White Decoration; Italy, Republic, Order of Merit of the Italian Republic, Commander’s neck badge, silver gilt and enamel, the Great War pair very fine, otherwise nearly extremely fine (12) £8,000-£12,000 --- D.S.O. London Gazette 10 November 1942: ‘For bravery and dauntless resolution while serving in H.M. Ships when an important Convoy was fought through to Malta in the face of relentless attacks by day and night from enemy submarines, aircraft and surface forces.’ The original recommendation states: ‘For the brilliantly successful feat of saving the tanker Ohio after she had been severely damaged and immobilised I consider the following officers worthy of immediate awards. Acting Commander H. J. A. S. Jerome (Commander Minesweepers Malta) who was in charge of operations during the last day and night on board Speedy.’ Henry Joseph Alexander Savile Jerome was born on 3 June 1900 in Mexico City, the son of the diplomat Lucien Joseph James Robertson Jerome, then British Vice-Consul in Mexico, and his Australian wife Vivien Fane (Savill). He was admitted as an Officer Cadet to the Royal Naval College, Osborne in January 1914 and proceeded to the Royal Naval College Dartmouth before joining the battlecruiser H.M.S. Courageous as a Midshipman in April 1917, remaining in her until the conclusion of the war. Jerome was promoted Lieutenant in September 1921 and went up to Caius College, Cambridge two months later, winning the Oxford and Cambridge Universities Welterweight 1st prize medal in March 1922 (medal with lot) - an artist’s depiction of his victory over P. I. Bell (Queen’s, Oxford) subsequently appeared as a full page feature in the Christmas 1922 edition of The Field magazine (copy with lot). Returning to sea, Jerome joined the Submarine L 56 in September 1922 and served mostly in submarines until August 1927 when he joined the destroyer H.M.S. Sesame. His advancement to Lieutenant-Commander in 1929 was followed by service in a succession of surface ships until 1935 at which time he joined the Royal Marines in Egypt for a year. In 1936, he transferred to an Officer Instructor role with the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve (South Africa) and was still serving in this capacity when war broke out in 1939. Recalled to home waters, Lieutenant-Commander Jerome served in the Minesweeper Trawler H.M.S. Wardour from January 1941 until his appointment as Commander Minesweepers at Her Majesty’s Naval Base Clyde in March of that year. Then, in June of 1942, with the war in the Mediterranean - and Malta’s prolonged siege in particular - reaching a critical stage, Jerome was sent to Valetta as Commander Minesweepers Malta, his arrival coming as immediate relief to the submariners of the 10th Submarine Flotilla who had been required to leave Malta on account of mines and the temporary supremacy of enemy aircraft: ‘The one small success of the two failed convoy operations [Harpoon and Vigorous] had been the arrival in Malta of Commander Jerome in Speedy. He had led his three up-to-date fleet minesweepers round Cape Bon during the night of 14/15 June, unnoticed by the enemy who were concentrating on ‘Harpoon’ and the supply ships. The sweepers slipped safely into harbour. Their hard work and courage in the face of constant danger meant that the Tenth’s submarines could now return to their home base.’ (The Fighting Tenth - The Tenth Submarine Flotilla and the Siege of Malta by John Wingate D.S.C.) Operation Pedestal With Operations Harpoon and Vigourous having failed to revictualise the stricken island of Malta, the War Cabinet decided to make one last all out effort. Planning for Operation Pedestal began immediately and Churchill’s assertion that the ‘The Navy would never abandon Malta’ would be put to the test. As Leonard MacDonald, a Royal Marine in H.M.S. Manchester on Pedestal later put it: ‘What other convoy during the war had an escort of 54 men o’ war, including 2 battleships, both 16 inch, four carriers, twelve cruisers and 40 destroyers plus the smaller stuff? We were warned that if we got one ship through and lost half the escort it would be classed as a success.’ Having left the Clyde on 3 August, the convoy passed through the straits of Gibraltar on 9/10 August and, together with its various escort formations, was then subjected to relentless attack from U-Boats and Italian submarines, the Luftwaffe and Regio Aeronautica, and from Axis surface vessels. This story of continuous violence needs no retelling here, but suffice it to say that by the afternoon 13 August, as the now depleted force neared the end of its epic journey, of the 14 merchantmen that originally set out, nine were sunk and three damaged, while the senior service had sustained losses of an aircraft carrier, a cruiser and a destroyer, as well as havin...

The rare and well-documented Great War ‘Balloonatics’s’ D.F.M. group of five awarded to 1st Class Air Mechanic, later Squadron Leader, C. H. ‘Curly’ Palmer, No. 1. Balloon Company, No. 8 Kite Balloon Section, Royal Air Force, for his gallantry during an epic 4 and half hour flight at Ecurie, 19 July 1918. During the latter he, and his commanding officer and fellow observer Flight Lieutenant Bell, were engaged by “DB1” - a long-range naval gun which ran on rails from a concrete hide-out some 15 miles behind the Front. Despite the balloon being punctured in nine places by shellfire, Palmer and Bright carried on observing and gave observations for their Battery to engage the hostile gun and finally neutralise it. Palmer had been ordered to jump by Bell, but decided to stay with his officer, whose own parachute had been destroyed by shellfire, and was suffering from shell-shock. During the Second World War Palmer was employed as an ARP Warden during the Bristol Blitz, before going on to command 2152 (North Bristol) Squadron, Air Training Corps Distinguished Flying Medal, G.V.R. (21530 A.M.1. Palmer, C. H., R.A.F.) suspension slack; British War and Victory Medals (21530. 1.A.M. C. H. Palmer. R.A.F.); Defence Medal; Cadet Forces Medal, G.VI.R. (Act. Sqn. Ldr. C. H. Palmer. R.A.F.V.R.(T)) generally very fine (5) £4,000-£5,000 --- D.F.M. London Gazette 21 September 1918, the original recommendation states: ‘For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. On the 19th July, 1918, at Ecurie, this airman ascended at 2.25pm in the Balloon on observation work. At 3.25pm, this Balloon, while in Flight, was subjected to hostile shelling continuing at intervals until 6.05pm. Twelve rounds (air bursts) were fired in all and, in spite of the fact that several of the rounds burst very close to the Balloon, puncturing same in nine places, this airman carried out his observing and gave observations for the Battery, engaging the hostile gun for neutralisation. A.M. 1. Palmer has, on five previous occasions, been shelled while on observation work in the Balloon, and has invariably carried on his observing.’ Cecil Herbert Palmer was the son of Mr and Mrs H. H. Palmer of 18 Brighton Road, Weston-super-Mare. He was educated at the Central Council Schools, and won a County Council Scholarship to attend Sexey’s School, Blackford. Palmer successfully sat for a clerkship in the Postal branch of the Civil Service, and was also a member of the local R.A.M.C. unit. The following article written by Palmer, that appeared in Sports Quarterly, The Magazine of the Civil Service Sports Council, September 1971, gives the following detailed account of his Great War service: ‘I was mobilised on the 4th August, 1914, with my Territorial unit which formed part of the first 18 months of the war on the East Coast. The Brigade was then ordered to Gallipoli, but to my chagrin I found that I was to be left behind with the Reserve Unit at Colchester, it having been discovered that I was under age for service overseas. In the Reserve Unit I was employed on clerical duties, in the course of which I saw a memorandum asking for volunteers to transfer to the Royal Flying Corps as Clerk (General Duties) or Despatch Rider. This offered me the prospect of a more adventurous life and prompted me to apply. I was as promptly accepted and soon found myself transferred to the RFC depot at Farnborough. Life here was very hectic because of the rapid expansion of the Corps. Fresh batches of transferees, also of recruits straight from civilian life, were arriving daily to undergo the Initial Training Course - commonly known as “square bashing”, The Drill Instructors and senior NCOs were all transferees from the Brigade of Guards, so it may be well imagined that on parade the discipline was pretty rigid.... With our course completed we were posted to Perham Down on Salisbury Plain so as to make room for further batches of raw recruits at Farnborough.... The time was by now February 1916 and very wet and cold. My main recollection of this camp is of a collection of Nissen huts in a sea of liquid mud criss-crossed by numerous lines of duck-boards to permit passage from one part to another without becoming submerged in the mud. Luckily our stay there lasted only a month, and then we were back at Farnborough pending drafting to France. We landed at Le Havre on 19th April, 1916, and stayed overnight in the rest camp near the docks prior to moving up to Bethune. There we were due to replace the RNAS at No. 1 Wing Headquarters. Our party consisted of one Corporal (a Despatch Rider), two 19 year old Clerks (GD), namely Duggie Garrett and myself, and about 36 others. The Corporal, no doubt due to his previous Service experience and age, was placed in charge of the Administration offices; but Duggie and I considered this a diabolical invasion of our rightful preserves and, with youthful impetuosity, were not slow to voice our displeasure. In consequence, within a month or five weeks we found ourselves posted, without any warning, to No. 8 Balloon Section and our trade transferred to Kite Balloon Telephonist. The duties of the these Tradesmen consisted of manning the Section Exchange on a two-hourly rota. We were also responsible for manning the Section Exchange, situated in a deep dug-out in the support trenches. This exchange linked up Balloon and Field Batteries, whereas the Section exchange had lines to Artillery Group HQ, Wing HQ and other Balloon Sections. The Forward exchange was manned by two KB Telephonists for 8-10 days at a time repairing any lines rendered unserviceable through enemy action. During this period we ate, slept and lived underground, except for our “constitutional” above ground to visit the converted soap-box with the hole carved out which acted as our “loo”. The times I enjoyed most, however, were our periods of duty in the Operations Room. There we did duty during balloon ascents acting as liaison between Balloon and Batteries and passing on messages and observations. There was a large library of aerial photographs which clearly showed damage to enemy positions after attack by our guns or aeroplanes. My assistance in these duties was evidently thought worthy of encouragement by the Balloon Observers, for one of them offered to give me a trip in the Balloon to see how things worked aloft. I was excited at the prospect and gladly accepted. The Spencer Observation Balloon was about 60 ft. long and some 15-20 ft. high. It required a crew of 30-36 men to handle it from its “bed” to the Winching Position situated usually 80 to 100 yds. away. There were two stabilising fins, one on each side of the balloon, and a rudder, all three being filled with air; the balloon itself, however, was filled with Hydrogen gas - very inflammable stuff! The balloons were attached to a drum of heavyweight cable which was let out slowly by the winch to the extent of 1,500 to 2,000 ft.... Some 20 ft. below the balloon was slung the observation basket, about 5 ft. by 3 ft., attached to the balloon rigging. The basket comfortably housed two observers, their equipment and sandbags, the latter being used as ballast and jettisoned when more height was required. A pair of telephone wires attached to the cable passed through a transformer in the basket, and both observers could carry out separate conversations over the one pair of wires without interference. My first balloon trip did not come off until April 1917. In those days ballooning was much a fine weather venture and even on fine days the visibility had to be good before it was worthwhile to make an ascent. My trip, however, was a big disappointment, the whole cou...
