Dambuster Flt Sgt Grant McDonald signed The Men of the Dams Raid Bill Townsend Lancaster FDC PM The Dambusters 617 Squadron Royal Air Force Scampton Lincoln 17 May 09. Grant McDonald was born in Grand Forks, British Columbia in 1921. By the time he left school, the war had already started, and he applied to join the RCAF. At that stage it was not accepting new recruits, so he went first into the Canadian army, but was able to transfer to the air force a few months later. After training in Canada as an air gunner, he crossed the Atlantic on a troopship in May 1942. After some more training in Bournemouth and at a gunnery school near Stranraer, he was posted to an Operational Training Unit at Kinloss, where he crewed up with fellow Canadian, Ken Brown and navigator Dudley Heal. Their first operations were a number of anti-submarine patrols from St Eval in Cornwall, but they were then transferred to a Heavy Conversion Unit for Lancaster training. Here a full crew of seven was formed. It was made up of three Canadians, Brown, McDonald and bomb aimer Steve Oancia, and four Britons, Heal, flight engineer Basil Feneron, wireless operator Harry Hewstone and gunner Don Buntaine.

A Second War ‘Pacific Operations’ D.S.C. group of seven awarded to Surgeon Lieutenant-Commander A. C. K. Yates, Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve: decorated for his gallantry and skill in ministering to the wounded of the aircraft carrier H.M.S. Indefatigable during Japanese “kamikaze” attacks in 1945, he went on to win the Liverpool Shipwreck and Humane Society’s Marine Medal while serving as Ship’s Surgeon in the R.M.S. Queen Mary in 1955 - one newspaper declaring the latter incident to be ‘one of the most daring rescues ever carried out by a giant liner’s crew’ Distinguished Service Cross, G.VI.R., the reverse officially dated ‘1945’; 1939-45 Star; Atlantic Star; Africa Star; Burma Star, clasp, Pacific; War Medal 1939-45; Liverpool Shipwreck and Humane Society’s Marine Medal, bronze (To Arthur K. Yates for Gallant Service, 30/1/55), mounted as worn, good very fine or better (7) £3,600-£4,400 --- D.S.C. London Gazette 23 October 1945: ‘For gallantry, skill and great devotion to duty during operations performed in collaboration with the United States Pacific Fleet in the capture of Okinawa and the Nansei Shoto area, over the period 26 March to 20 April 1945.’ Arthur Charles Kingsgate Yates qualified in medicine at Sydney University in 1922, and served as an Honorary Assistant Gynaecologist at the Royal South Sydney Hospital before coming to the U.K. in 1925, where he was appointed a F.R.C.S. (Edinburgh). Later on, however, he journeyed South to take up an appointment as a Clinical Assistant at the Great Ormonde Street Hospital for Sick Children in London. The War Years Joining the “Wavy Navy” as a Surgeon Lieutenant in November 1939, Yates was serving as a Temporary Acting Surgeon Lieutenant-Commander in the cruiser H.M.S. Hermione by March 1941, in time, therefore, for her part in the Bismarck episode later that year and, indeed, for the action in which she rammed and sank the Italian submarine Tambien off Tunis that August. In fact, as a component of “Force H”, the Hermione went on to see extensive action in the Mediterranean right up until her loss on 16 June 1942, when she was torpedoed north of Sollum by the U-202 - she went down stern first with eight officers and 79 ratings out of her complement of about 450 men. It is probable that Yates was present on the same occasion, for he is still listed as her Surgeon in the Navy List of February 1942. Having then returned to the U.K., where he enjoyed a long posting ashore at President, Yates joined the aircraft carrier Indefatigable. And by early 1945, her F.A.A. aircraft were hotly engaged against assorted Japanese targets in “Operation Iceberg”, when she lent support to the U.S. landings at Okinawa. It was at the commencement of the latter operation, on 1 April 1945, that Indefatigable became the first British victim of a kamikaze aircraft, being hit on the flight deck above her “island” superstructure, the detonation of the Zero’s 500lb. bomb wrecking both flight deck barriers and the briefing room. Moreover, in so far as Yates was concerned, it also wrecked the flight deck sick bay - eight men were killed instantly, and the final casualty total was four officers and ten ratings killed, and 16 wounded. Nor were these the only casualties with which Yates had to contend, F.A.A. aircrew sometimes returning wounded from operations. A case in point would be Sub. Lieutenant D. M. James, R.N.V.R., an Avenger pilot, who was seriously wounded in the thigh by 13mm. shellfire on 17 May 1945 - he carried out an emergency landing on Indefatigable’s flight deck and was taken below to Yates but sadly died of his wounds later that day. Following repairs at Sydney, the Indefatigable returned to an operational footing, and her aircraft were in action right up until 15 August 1945, on which date they fought the last air-to-air combat of the War. Throughout this period she remained under threat from further kamikaze attacks. Most probably, however, the catalyst behind the award of Yates’ D.S.C. dated back to Indefatigable’s first painful experience of “The Divine Wind” on 1 April 1945. High drama in the North Atlantic As evidenced by Yates’ subsequent award of the Liverpool Shipwreck and Humane Society’s Marine Medal, his post-war career also took him to sea, and his part in the rescue of two injured seamen from the S.S. Liberator in the North Atlantic on 30 January 1955, was certainly one of high drama - all the more remarkable then that the Queen Mary’s captain later reported that his surgeon ‘looked as fresh and smiling as if he was just going in to bat for his home team in Sydney, Australia’. The Society’s records state: ‘At 15.40 hours on 29 January 1955, the Queen Mary received a radio message from the S.S. Liberator asking for medical aid for two members of crew who were seriously injured. A reply was dispatched immediately informing the Master that the Queen Mary would proceed towards Liberator. A rendezvous was made and the Liberator was reached at 0.30 hours on 30 January. At 2.01 hours the Queen Mary lowered No. 1 sea boat in charge of Mr. L. K. Goodier, Senior 1st Officer, which took across the Ship’s Surgeon, Dr. A. C. K. Yates, and the ship’s Second Dispenser Mr. A. J. Chapman. The Liberator’s gunwale was about 30 feet from the water line and she was rolling heavily. With the ship’s roll and the high sea the boat, when alongside the Liberator was rising and falling approximately 25 feet up and down the ship’s side, against which it was being thrown heavily. When the boat first arrived there was a ladder over the Liberator’s lee side, but so far aft that the boat could not approach it owing to the danger of getting water under the counter, or of going on to the propeller which was half above water. The ladder was eventually moved to amidships, but because of the language difficulties it was decided to put a seaman on board to assist the surgeon and to convey the 1st Officer’s requirements as to boat ropes and lowering lines. Able Seaman Marrington jumped on to the ladder when the boat was on top of a sea - the next sea brought the boat higher up the ship’s side and but for his agility he would have been crushed between the ship and boat. When Marrington got on board he had a line lowered for the Surgeon and Dispenser, who were hoisted up clear of the boat and on to the ladder. From the time the boat left the Queen Mary the wind and sea had been increasing in force to a fresh gale, high sea and heavy confused swell with fierce rain squalls. After getting the Surgeon and Dispenser on board the 1st Officer considered it was too dangerous to lie alongside, or in the lee of the Liberator while the surgeon was examining the injured men, so he returned to lie in the lee of the Queen Mary.’ At this juncture, it was decided to hoist the No. 1 sea boat back aboard the Queen Mary, the latter’s captain remaining convinced that the prevailing conditions would make it near impossible to return to collect Yates and colleagues. He was, therefore, very surprised to receive a radio message reporting that he did indeed intend to return to the Queen Mary with the two injured men. The Society’s records continue: ‘At 3.33 the boat was again lowered and sent away with a different volunteer crew in charge of Mr. P. A. Read, Chief Officer, and reached the Liberator at 03.48 hours. They then took aboard Dr. Yates, the Dispenser and the seamen from the Queen Mary and the two injured seamen from the Liberator and returned to the Queen Mary at 04.27 hours. The second boat’s crew experien...

British War and Victory Medals (623045 Pte. A. Mann. 8-Can. Inf.) good very fine (9) £700-£900 --- M.M. London Gazette 9 December 1916. The original recommendation states: ‘During the general advance on Sept. 26th-27th, he, although only a Private showed conspicuous gallantry and determination in organising the small party which arrived at the final objective. He pushed forward from the final objective with a party and brought back valuable information. He supervised the construction of blocks, carried up grenades and when he saw the man fall who had been detailed to carry the S.O.S. rockets he relieved him of his burden. He further volunteered his services as bomb carrier to a squad of another Regiment which had been detailed to make an attack on an enemy trench.’ Lauchlan Mann was born in Culloden, Inverness-shire, Scotland, in September 1893. He shared his father’s name, and was employed as a Freight Train Brakeman in Canada prior to the Great War. Mann served during the Great War with the 8th Battalion (90th Winnipeg Rifles), Canadian Infantry on the Western Front, and distinguished himself at Courcelette, Somme, 26-27 September 1916. John Mann was born in Culloden, Inverness-shire, Scotland, in June 1892. He was employed by the Railways like his younger brother Lauchlan. Mann served during the Great War with the 8th Battalion (90th Winnipeg Rifles), Canadian Infantry on the Western Front. He was killed in action ‘while attached to the No. 2 Tramways Company, Canadian Engineers, he was employed as a brakeman, and was in charge of a train carrying ammunition for the Battery in the vicinity of Lens, on the night of 24th September, 1917. Hostile shelling was rather severe in this sector, and he was instantly killed when the enemy obtained a direct hit on the train.’ Private Mann is buried in Thelus Military Cemetery, France. Alexander Mann was born in Fort William, Argyllshire, Scotland in June 1891. He served during the Great War with the 8th Battalion (90th Winnipeg Rifles), Canadian Infantry on the Western Front. Private Mann was killed in action at Courcelette, 26 September 1916, the same day and action as his brother Lauchlan was to win his M.M. Private Mann is commemorated on the Vimy Memorial, Pas de Calais, France. Sold with copied service papers.

A scarce Second War 1940 ‘Fall of France’ Evader’s M.M. group of three awarded to Sergeant G. Roskell, Royal Air Force, who was wounded whilst taxiing aircraft on his aerodrome during a German air attack, 14 June 1940. His arm was amputated the same day, and two days later with the Germans approaching he left hospital, partly walking, partly begging for lifts and arriving in Nantes on 17 June 1940. After a number of unsuccessful attempts to get out of France, and in a continual race against the advancing Germans, Roskell managed to get in to Unoccupied France and out through Marseilles and the American Consulate in December 1940 Military Medal, G.VI.R. (613552 Sjt. G. Roskell. R.A.F.) minor official correction to surname; 1939-45 Star; War Medal 1939-45, mounted for display, suspension slack on first, nearly very fine (3) £3,000-£4,000 --- M.M. London Gazette 13 March 1942. The original recommendation states: ‘On June 14th, 1940 this Sergeant Pilot was wounded as a result of a German air attack on his aerodrome. His arm was amputated on the same day. Two days later, as the Germans were approaching, he left hospital and, partly walking, partly begging for lifts, succeeded in reaching Nantes on June 17th. A week later the Germans occupied Nantes where Sgt. Roskell was in hospital. After two months he escaped with French help, crossed the line of demarcation on foot, and eventually reached Perpignan. He was unable to raise sufficient money for guides so was obliged to return to Marseilles where he was repatriated by the Medical Board. This sergeant showed great courage and persistence in attempting to escape whilst badly wounded.’ Approximately 119 Military Medals awarded to the RAF during the Second World War. George Roskell was born in Leyland, Preston in June 1919. He enlisted in the Royal Air Force as a Fitter Airframes Engineer in June 1938, and subsequent postings included to No. 7 F.T.S., Peterborough in July 1939, where he re-mustered to become a Fitter II (Engines). Roskell was posted to No. 2 Air Depot at Henlow in September 1939, and moved with them to France. The following month he was posted to No. 1 Salvage Section as part of 72 Wing, and then joined No. 6 Repair & Salvage Unit in February 1940. He advanced to Sergeant (but was not aircrew as erroneously listed in recommendation), and was serving with 226 Squadron, and had been taxiing aircraft when his airfield was attacked by German aircraft, 14 June 1940. 226 Squadron flew Battles, and was one of the day-bomber squadrons that made up the Advanced Air Striking Force in France. The latter took a hammering during the fall of France, regardless of which 226 Squadron carried on fighting a retreating battle until its surviving aircraft flew back to the UK on 15 June 1940 (the day after Roskell was wounded). Roskell’s M.I.9 debrief adds the following: ‘On 14 June, while engaged in salvage work, connected with the coming evacuation of the aerodrome in the village of Sooge (sic), about 30 miles north of Paris, I was hit by pieces of a bomb in a G.A.F. raid. Was removed in an ambulance with two other (L.A.C. Victor MacFarlane - slight injuries, L.A.C. Taylor - right leg blown off) Air Force personnel to a hospital in Sooge. There was also a Canadian, Pte. Thompson, George, lying in hospital with internal trouble. My fore-arm was amputated the same day. Two days later, having been told that the Germans were rapidly approaching, MacFarlane [also awarded the M.M. for his gallantry during evasion], Thompson and I left, and shortly afterwards we were picked up by a French convoy and taken as far as Angers. We walked south for about ten miles and were picked up by another French ambulance and taken to Nantes (17th June). We were admitted to a large French Military Hospital on the outskirts of Nantes. A week later the Germans occupied Nantes, took over the hospital, but, fortunately, the French were able to smuggle us out and took us to a small hospital in a convent in the centre of town. A week later the Germans had evidently been informed of our whereabouts as they entered the hospital and we were informed that we were P/W and were not to leave the buildings. We were two months in this convent, and towards the end of this period a Frenchman, Monsieur B. (a dental mechanic working in Nantes), came and offered to get us out. About 30th September we availed of his plan and scrambled over the outside wall into the street, where the Frenchman and two others were waiting to guide us. They took us to the house of a friend of theirs and we hid there for seven days; during this time the Frenchman got us civilian clothes and collected about 5,000frs. for us from among his friends. We went with him, and two other Frenchmen and a Frenchwoman, in a train to Angouleme, which we reached the following evening. We then took a small local train to Celle Frome and went on foot to La Pladieure at the line of demarcation and were guided across by friendly farmers. Once in Unoccupied France we went by train again to Limoges and Toulouse and from there to Perpignan, where we intended to cross the Pyrenees into Spain. As we could not raise sufficient money between us for guides and the necessary bribing, we decided to maker for Marseilles, where we approached Mr. Fullerton, the American Consul. On his advice we three Air Force personnel went to 36 Rue de Forbin, where the Rev. Caskie looked after us during our stay in Marseilles. On the 14th December I went before the Mixed Medical Board at the Michel-Levy Hospital and was passed for repatriation, as being unfit.’ Roskell left Gibraltar on 14 February 1941, and arrived at Greenock on 23 February. He was eventually transferred to Halton Hospital, and was presented with his M.M. by His Majesty the King at Buckingham Palace, 5 May 1942. Sergeant Roskell was discharged ‘Medically Unfit’ in August 1941, and died in Chelmsford in 1981. Sold with copied research.

Family Group: A Second War B.E.M. awarded to Police Constable W. G. Grant, Portsmouth Police Force, for his gallantry during the Portsmouth Blitz on 27 April 1941 British Empire Medal, (Civil) G.VI.R., 1st issue (William George Grant) on original mounting pin, nearly extremely fine Pair: Driver W. T. Grant, Australian Imperial Force British War and Victory Medals (11065 Dvr. W. T. Grant. 3 F.A.B., A.I.F.) very fine (3) £240-£280 --- B.E.M. London Gazette 19 September 1941: William George Grant, Police Constable, Portsmouth Police Force (in a joint citation with Miss Jessie Eskdale Walker, Section Leader, First Aid Party, Portsmouth, and John Maurice Holder, Police Constable, Portsmouth Police Force): ‘While a First Aid Party were rendering assistance to air-raid victims, a bomb fell nearby and most of the Party were killed or severely injured. Miss Walker, although suffering from shock and the effects of blast, remained at her post and began rescue work. She was joined by Constables Grant and Holder, who had also been badly shaken by the explosions. The two men entered damaged property and brought out injured people and these were attended to by Miss Walker. A gas main caught fire and conditions were extremely dangerous but Miss Walker and the two Constables continued working and many casualties were rescued and given first-aid treatment. All three showed devotion to duty with no regard for themselves.’ William George Grant served during the Second World War with the Portsmouth Police Force, and was awarded the British Empire Medal for his gallantry on the night of 27-28 April 1941. The recipient’s own account states: ‘After the sounding of the Alert on the night of 27 April 1941, together with P.C. Holder, I left my lodgings at 245 Chichester Road, North End, in civilian clothes, and patrolled that vicinity for the purpose of dealing with any incendiary bombs which might be dropped. Later it came to our notice that high explosive bombs had been dropped in the city, and we decided to change into uniform and report to our station. As we approached Beresford Road we saw that an air raid incident had occurred there, and that a high explosive bomb had fallen near the junction of Laburnum Grove. A number of houses had been damaged and there were casualties lying on the ground. We commenced to help generally... Suddenly there was a blinding flash followed by a loud explosion, and I lost consciousness momentarily. When I recovered I saw masonry and other objects falling down on top of us. I heard cries of help from various directions. Going to the crater we found that a land mine had dropped on the edge of the original crater. Several members of the First Aid Party and Rescue Squad lay near the crater, some dead and others injured.... From No, 57 Beresford Road we heard a man crying out “I am nearly buried”. Holder and I climbed over the debris surrounding the front of this house and in the passage found a man buried up to his neck in debris. We dug him out, and using a door as an improvised stretcher, carried him to the junction of Laburnum Grove and Beresford Road, where we met Miss Walker. She was the only surviving member of the First Aid Party who was not a casualty. At this time a gas main which had been fractured was blazing furiously, enemy aircraft were overhead, gunfire was extensive, and high explosive bombs were still falling. Together with Miss Walker we attended to other people who were lying injured. The heat from the fire was almost unbearable, but to render aid to the people who were injured we had to work near it. We also found several people in shelters who were injured, and Miss Walker dressed their injuries, working heroically and without thought for herself.’ William Thomas Grant, father of the above, was born in Portsmouth, and having emigrated to Australian attested for the Australian Imperial Force at Lithgow, New South Wales, on 11 September 1915. He served with the 3rd Field Artillery Brigade during the Great War on the Western Front from 29 April 1916. Sold with copied research.

PHILIPPE HALSMAN (Riga, 1906 - New York, 1979)."Cosmic Dalí", 1948.Photograph on silver gelatin.Presents signature, and stamp "Copyright by Philippe Halsman" on the back.Size: 20.5 x 17.5 cm; 44.5 x 41.5 cm (frame).Halsman studied electrical engineering in Dresden, after being accused of the murder of his father, he spent two years in prison. On his release Halsman decided to move to France, where he began contributing to fashion magazines such as Vogue and soon earned a reputation as one of France's finest portrait photographers. Famous for his sharp rather than soft-focus, tightly cropped images. When France was invaded by Germany, Halsman fled to Marseille. He eventually managed to obtain an American visa, with the help of his family friend Albert Einstein, whom he later photographed in 1947. Halsman had his first success in the United States when the cosmetics firm Elizabeth Arden used his image of model Constance Ford against the American flag in an advertising campaign for "Victory Red" lipstick. A year later, in 1942, he found work at Life magazine, photographing hat designs; in 1941 Halsman met the surrealist artist Salvador Dalí and they began collaborating in the late 1940s. The 1948 work Dalí Atomicus explores the idea of suspension, depicting three cats flying, a bucket of water being thrown and Dalí in the air. The title of the photograph is a reference to Dalí's work Leda Atomicus, which can be seen on the right of the photograph behind the two cats. Halsman and Dalí eventually published a compendium of their collaborations in the 1954 book Dali's Moustache, which presents 36 different views of the artist's distinctive moustache. Another famous collaboration between the two was In Voluptas Mors, a surrealist portrait of Dalí next to a large skull, in fact a tableau vivant composed of seven nudes. In 1947 Halsman took what would become one of his most famous photographs of a mournful Albert Einstein, who during the shoot recounted his regret at his role in the United States pursuing the atomic bomb. The photo would later be used in 1966 on a US postage stamp and, in 1999, on the cover of Time magazine, when it called Einstein the "Person of the Century". In 1951, NBC commissioned Halsman to photograph several popular comedians of the time, including Milton Berle, Sid Caesar, Groucho Marx and Bob Hope. The photographer developed a philosophy of jump photography, which he called jumpology. He published Philippe Halsman's Jump Book in 1959, which contained an ironic discussion of jumpology and 178 photographs of famous jumpers.
