King D.S.O.) re-engraved naming, mounted court-style as worn, generally very fine and better (11) £1,800-£2,200 --- D.S.O. London Gazette 23 August 1945: ‘In recognition of gallant and distinguished services in Italy.’ The original Recommendation, for an Immediate Military Cross (subsequently upgraded to a D.S.O.), dated 11 May 1945, states: ‘For conspicuous gallantry, boldness, and devotion to duty. On the night of 22-23 April 1945, Major C. V. King was in command of a squadron of tanks ordered to support the Royal Durban Light Infantry in securing the road and bridge intersection at Finale (Map Ref. 866857). This objective proved to be a strongly held enemy rear guard position. Soon after darkness this strongly held position was overrun and the tanks had driven a wedge right into the centre against heavy opposition. Despite the darkness and lack of manoeuvre, owing to the impossibility of deploying the tanks off the road, Major King pressed his tanks forward through enemy infantry armed with bazookas, he himself moving with the leading troop. From here he was able to effectively engage an animal drawn convoy protected by enemy tanks. By this time the animal convoy had been cut in two, the leading tank began engaging Major King and the leading troop from two sides, resulting in two of our tanks being knocked out. The extent of the damage and loss off equipment caused to the enemy was evident the following morning when some fifty to sixty vehicles were found to be destroyed. During the confused fighting that lasted till 0300 hrs, Major King remained with his leading tanks, and his coolness and imperturbable courage during intensive tank and shellfire was an inspiration to his men, and an outstanding example of zeal and devotion to duty. He displayed an exceptional degree of tenacious courage and resourceful determination under the most adverse tank conditions. His personal bravery and leadership could not be surpassed.’ Cecil Vincent King was born on Robben Island, Cape Town, on 3 August 1900 and joined the Royal Navy as a Boy Second Class on 7 August 1916, serving initially in H.M.S. Hyacinth and H.M.S. Impregnable. He was advanced Boy First Class on 26 February 1917, and was promoted to Able Seaman on 3 April 1919. He was invalided out of the service, suffering from Rheumatism, on 10 December 1919. Having moved to Southern Rhodesia King saw early service in North Africa during the Second World War, before being assigned to the Prince Alfred’s Guard, with who he saw extensive service in Italy with the rank of Major, and was wounded on 3 June 1944 when his foot was crushed by a lump of flying earth thrown up by an exploding shell. For his services as a Sherman tank commander at the crossing of the Finale in April 1945 he was awarded the Distinguished Service Order; Neil Orpen’s Victory in Italy gives the following coda to his D.S.O. action: ‘Strewn among the wreckage of more than 60 enemy vehicles lay the corpses of Germans who had tried to hold open the line of retreat. The carcasses of horses and oxen killed in the night’s hail of crossfire sprawled among shattered lorries, carts, semi-tracked vehicles, guns, limbers and piles of wrecked enemy equipment of every conceivable kind. At the crossing point over the canal about 200 metres from the river, smashed carts, dead oxen, mules, and horses were so entangled with trucks and knocked-out assault guns and tanks that a bulldozer was needed to clear the way for the advancing columns. A ground check in the area immediately south-east of Finale showed enemy losses amounting to 51 guns, 17 mortars, 2 tanks, 17 half-tracks, 100 or more motor-drawn vehicles, and more than 150 horse-drawn vehicles.’ During the actual fighting the R.D.L.I. had taken 160 prisoners, and no fewer than 200 enemy dead were found on the battlefield, compared to the R.D.L.I. casualties of just 12 wounded.’

The historically interesting South Africa 1834-53 Medal awarded to Mr. R. Graham, Cape Irregular Cavalry and Civil Commissioner of Albany; he was the son of Colonel John Graham, the Founder of Grahamstown South Africa 1834-53 (Mr. R. Graham, Cape Irregular Cavalry) officially renamed in large engraved serif capitals (see Footnote), good very fine and unique to unit £800-£1,000 --- Robert Graham, the only son of Colonel John Graham and Johanna Catharina Cloete, a descendant of Jacob Cloete, the first permanent settler at the Cape, was born at Grahamstown, the settlement that his father established in 1812. He served as Civil Commissioner of Albany, and commanded a Corps of Irregular Cavalry during the Third Kaffir War, 1851-53. ‘With reference to an application for a Kafir [sic] War Medal for Mr. R. Graham, who commanded a Corps of Irregular Horse during the Kafir War of 1851-2. By a General Order dated Horse Guards 19th December 1857 the period for the reception of Claims of this nature has been limited to the 1st December 1858 which has now expired - but as the Claimant in the present case has preferred his application prior to that date, although it was not received until the prescribed period had elapsed, and as he was probably not aware at the time of the existence of the General Order in question, Major General Peel has recommended to His Royal Highness the General Commanding in Chief, that the observance of the strict letter of the General Order referred to, should be waived in the present instance as a special case, and the Claim be taken into consideration - and His Royal Highness having expressed his entire concurrence in that recommendation, has informed Major General Peel that the Claim appears to be valid. Under these circumstances, directions have been given for the preparation of a Kafir War Medal for Mr. Graham accordingly.’ (Letter to Lieutenant-General Sir H. G. Smith, Bt., G.C.B. from the War Office, dated 20 January 1859, refers). It would appear that, whilst Mr. Graham’s medal has been renamed, this was officially done at the Royal Mint utilising a previously named but unissued medal, to avoid the need to carry out the 48 separate operations required to produce a single impressed medal from start to finish.

London Gazette 16 November 1915: ‘For conspicuous bravery on the 14th September, 1915, on the Gallipoli Peninsula. During mining operations, Private Wilkinson remained at his post in a mine gallery where the enemy’s shaft was expected to break through. When they succeeded in doing so, he shot the first Turk who appeared, and then assisted a Non-Commissioned Officer to lay and fire the charge, so destroying the enemy’s gallery. This was done at great personal risk’. Thomas Wilkinson landed with the 4th Battalion, East Lancashire Regiment (T.F.) at Cape Helles on the Gallipoli Peninsula on 9 May 1915, and went into the line to the south-west of Krithia. There followed a period of routine trench warfare before the Battalion took part in the battle of Krithia on 4 June, suffering 212 casualties in killed, wounded and missing. During 6-13 August the battalion took part in the battle of Krithia Vineyard, suffering further heavy casualties before being withdrawn to re-organize. Much like the Western Front, Gallipoli saw mining and counter-mining operations by both sides and the 42nd Division formed a Mining Company, to which Private Wilkinson volunteered, being granted extra pay for this duty. September 1915 was a particularly active month for mining operations, with the Turks exploding mines on the 3rd, 15th, 18th, 21st, 22nd and 29th, all opposite an area of trenches on the Division’s right known as the ‘Gridiron’. On the left, at Fusilier Bluff, the Mining Company successfully put out protective galleries which negated the Turkish miners. Wilkinson was awarded the D.C.M. for services during these mining operations, possibly the only Gallipoli D.C.M. award to the the 4th Battalion. The battalion was withdrawn to Mudros on 17 October, returning to the Peninsula on 2 November, landing at W Beach and taking up positions at Y Ravine. The battalion remained on the Peninsula until the evacuations on 29 December, when they embarked on the Princess Alberta. They went on to serve in Egypt and Palestine in 1916, taking part in the battle of Romani, before moving, along with the rest of the 42nd Division, to the Western Front in March 1916, where they served for the remainder of the war. Sold with brass shoulder title and copied research.
