WW2 Corps of Military Police 1944 Anzio Immediate Military Medal Group of Six. This is an official REPLACEMENT group awarded to ‘6977089 LCpl P Donaghy CMP’. Comprising: Military Medal GVIR (stamped ‘R’), 1939/45 Star, Africa Star, Italy Star, Defence Medal. GC MM has been lacquered. The Military Medal recommendation is dated 5th April 1944 and was for Anzio Italy ‘In the early hours of 17 March 1944, enemy planes were active over the beachhead. One bomb was dropped in the area, Map Ref 828218, Italy, sheet no. 158iv, 1:50000, which made a direct hit on a mortar carrier loaded with mortar bombs. The vehicle caught fire and there was great danger of damage to personnel and vehicles in the vicinity. Without regard for his own safety, Lance Corporal Donaghy rushed to the carrier and commenced to throw out the mortar bombs, clear of the burning carrier. These bombs were by then very hot and had begun to explode, but regardless of the fact, Donaghy continued. He was wounded in the leg but continued till he received a serious wound in the back from the exploding mortar bombs. Hostile aircraft were still overhead and bombing the area. There is no doubt that the resourcefulness and quick action of Lance Corporal Donaghy saved many casualties among personnel and vehicles and was responsible for the early controlling of the fire. Lance Corporal Donaghy`s behaviour was of the highest order. He was lying in his dug-out in the CMP lines, well clear of any possible danger from the carrier when it was hit.’ Lance Corporal Peter Vincent Donaghy had previously served with the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers and was a native Co. Tyrone. He was wounded and sent to 22 Casualty Clearing Station. Information supplied by thye vendor indicates that Donaghy was later commissioned.

1944 North West Europe Bomb Disposal Special Unit ‘T’ Force George Medal Group. A rare example of a Front Line award of the George Medal, awarded to Corporal William Jones GM a bomb disposal Specialist who served with the Special unit ‘T’ force which was tasked with the capture of Hitler’s secrets, often operating in front of the advancing Allied Armies. Comprising: George Medal ‘2128323 Cpl William Jones RE’ (Mounted as a single medal as originally worn), 1939/45 Star, France & German Star, Defence Medal, War Medal. Medals loose GC ... Accompanied by original documentation including Special ‘T’ Force Pass, allowing the bearer to commandeer any men or equipment to secure an instillation. Pay Book and Release Book. ..... Original snap shot photographs including groups, liberation of towns, German POW’s etc. The citation for the award of the George Medal appeared in the London Gazette on the 2nd February 1945. ‘The Platoon in which Jones was serving, was engaged during the month of September, 1944 in the clearance of mines and booby traps from a village in the neighbourhood of Arbois. In the village there had been at least four accidents to civilians and other soldiers due to booby traps. During the period 3rd to 7th September he was responsible for the clearing of eleven armed traps, personally clearing two of which were in extremely sensitive condition. On the 8th September an accident occurred in a field of Schu mines, in which an Officer was severely wounded Jones, a Platoon Sergeant and a Lance Sergeant became casualties. On the following day, Jones continued to work in the same field, although the Officer concerned had expressed doubts as to the efficiency of the equipment being used. On the 12th of September, a Lance Corporal from the same Platoon was killed and a Sapper injured by an exploding Schu mine being rendered safe. Jones immediately took charge of the situation and continued working at the same place, in spite of considerable danger occasioned by fallen branches and various pieces of equipment with which the area was littered. During the time that the section was working in the area, Teller mines, Schu, mines and S mines were encountered in considerable numbers, together with booby traps in houses, out buildings and also the covering slit trenches in the fields and lanes. Throughout the period Jones maintained a very high standard of devotion to duty and appeared completely unaffected by the risks to which he exposed himself. Leadership and initiative were the most important factors in maintaining a very high standard of moral amongst his men, over a very trying time and he was a source of inspiration to the other Sub Units of the Company who heard of his conduct.’ Corporal William Jones was born in 1911 and volunteered for service with the Royal Engineers in October 1940, and was later trained as a bomb Disposal expert. His service book shows that in August 1944 he was employed as a minefield and Booby Trap clearance. Serving with 5th Bomb Disposal Unit, he was selected to serve with ‘T’ Force, attached to the 1st Canadian Army. This special Force had unlimited powers in implementing the capture designated targets containing Hitler`s secret weapons and development facilities. A target was given and T Force often in front of the advancing Army would secure the area, capture valuable Prisoners and equipment. He was demobbed in January 1946 and on the 19th November 1946 Corporal Jones received the George Medal from the hand of King George VI at Buckingham Palace.

WWII – RAF Bomber Command a fine collection of primary source documents relating to Flight Officer Falgate RAF collected in a scrap book. The documents include original documents such as a loading charts for bomb stations indicating the numbers of bombs loaded into each plane documents relating to specific raids bombing maps including detailed bombing maps of Berlinand Aachen Braunschweig Munich Kaiserslauten etc and route maps showing the flight path of Falgate’s squadron from Lincolnshire to target cities including Hamburg Hannover Kassel Bremen Rotterdam etc; a ms report in pencil on a raid on Magdeburg in January 1944: ‘...attacked by unseen a/c approx 50 miles short of target. Mid upper turret sustained damage but gunner unhurt. Attacked target dead on zero hour being in first wave bombed centre of three greens but ground detail obscured by cloud & haze...’; some reconnaissance photographs presumably taken from his plane; a sectionalised diagram of a Lancaster Bomber etc. There are also a number of propaganda leaflets in both German and French which RAF planes dropped over Europe as well as sheets of fake German food ration coupons which were presumably dropped by the RAF in some sort of attempt to deplete German food supplies in the latter stages of the War. Another intriguing aspect of the documents is evidence that Falgate was involved in bombing Paris in advance of D-Day. A particularly useful aspect of the collection is Falgate’s personal collection of press cuttings which can be used to pinpoint the raids he actually took part in. This fine collection was found only recently in an attic and has not been available to scholars before. It will doubtless provide considerable information on RAF bombing activities and certainly with further research it will be possible to identify F/O Falgate’s squadron

Sir Claude Francis Barry (1883-1970) - portrait of Mary Marshall, signed oil on board. Sir Claude Francis Barry was born 128 years ago into a rich family whose wealth was based on heavy industry. But he had a troubled childhood after the death of his mother when he was two and his father`s subsequent re-marriage in 1893. In 1905 he went to live in St Ives. Barry was a pacifist and was anyway exempted from military service; he did not fight in the First World War. From about 1905, he exhibited his pointilistic works at the Royal Academy and elsewhere. Between the Wars he became renowned for his etchings and spent much of his time on the Continent returning to St Ives in 1939. Most of his etching plates were stored in Milan and were destroyed by a bomb in 1944. After the War he left Cornwall to live on Jersey. It is during this period that he painted many of his portraits including this one. PROVENANCE; This portrait is sent in for sale by the sitter. Mary Marshall knew the artist well and he had great admiration for her as a singer. She was born in Bolton and was a solo artiste with Columbia in the 1950`s. For a short time she was a member of a group "The Three Shades". She moved from her recording company and accepted a contract to perform in the Channel Islands for impresario Sydney James, where she caused an unprecedented sensation; they were married in 1960 and settled in Guernsey. Mary continued in Sydney`s Olde Tyme Music Hall shows and cabarets for many years having had two daughters. She retired in 1979 and remains in Guernsey today having remarried after her husband`s death in 1985. 24 x 18in. (60.96 x 45.72cm)
