A good Great War 1917 ‘Ypres operations’ stretcher bearers’ M.M. and Second Award Bar awarded to Private A. Robinson, 7th Australian Infantry Battalion, Australian Imperial Force, a veteran of Gallipoli who was later Mentioned in Despatches Military Medal, G.V.R., with Second Award Bar (2653 Pte A. Robinson. 7/Aust: Inf:) cleaned, very fine £800-£1,000 --- M.M. London Gazette 11 December 1917. The original recommendation states: ‘During the operations near Polygon de Zillebeke, east of Ypres, on 20-22nd September 1917. Private Robinson as a stretcher bearer worked with great courage under heavy shellfire, collecting wounded and assisting at the Regimental Aid Post.’ M.M. Second Award Bar London Gazette 25 January 1918. The original recommendation states: ‘Near Ypres on 4/5th October 1917 as a stretcher bearer he showed great courage and devotion to duty. Under heavy shellfire he rendered continuous assistance to wounded men. By his energy and coolness he materially assisted in clearing, the wounded from his company sector and then undoubtedly saved many lives.’ M.I.D. London Gazette 28 October 1919. Arthur Robinson was born near Talbot, Victoria, Australia in 1890. He served with the Australian Imperial Force in the Gallipoli theatre or war, before serving in the French theatre of war from March 1916. Robinson is mentioned for his gallantry during operations in Ypres in Our Dear Old Battalion - The Story of the 7th Battalion, A.I.F., 1914-1919, including: ‘Rather than halting as they entered the mist-covered Glencourse Wood, the two right hand companies ventured a further 500 metres into the shell-shattered wood. Bill Peach who was to win the M.M. that day, described the scene: “The form-up in Glencourse Wood, our three minute barrage, then on it lifting, the quick move forward under its cover looking not unlike the crowd getting away immediately on the finish of a football match. Unfortunately, some of the boys, in their eagerness to press on, failed to await the successive artillery lifts, with the result they got caught up in our own barrage.” The R.M.O. Captain Doug Barlow, followed behind the creeping barrage, and set up the R.A.P. in Remus Wood, and throughout the morning his team of stretcher bearers brought in the wounded for Barlow to dress their wounds, whereupon the casualties were handed over to the field ambulance bearers. Privates William Glasspool, Benjamin Joyner, Percy Payne, and Arthur Robinson (died 29 September 1959) upheld the reputation of the regimental stretcher bearers by constantly going out under heavy shell fire to bring in the wounded, acts which were later recognised by the award of the M.M. to each man.’ Robinson returned to Australia in November 1919, and was discharged in January the following year.

Second Award Bar London Gazette 25 July 1941: ‘In June 1941, this officer was the captain of the leading aircraft of a formation of three aircraft which carried out an attack on Kiel in clear daylight. Despite accurate anti-aircraft fire, bombs were dropped and observed to burst on the objective. The success which attended this operation was largely due to the magnificent leadership and courage together with the brilliant airmanship displayed by this officer.’ D.S.O. Third Award Bar London Gazette 22 September 1944: ‘Since he was awarded a Bar to the Distinguished Service Order this officer has completed many sorties against targets in enemy-occupied territory and Germany. On several occasions Wing Commander Tait has remained in the immediate vicinity of the target area, often in the face of heavy opposition, for a considerable time. His excellent leadership, gallantry and untiring devotion to duty have contributed materially to the successes achieved by the squadron he commands.’ D.S.O. Fourth Award Bar London Gazette 9 January 1945: ‘This officer has displayed conspicuous bravery and extreme devotion to duty in the face of the enemy, constantly exemplified over a long period of operational flying. He has completed a very-large number of sorties, many of them against most dangerous and difficult targets and the successes obtained are a magnificent tribute to his brilliant leadership and unsurpassed skill. On 3 occasions, Wing Commander Tait has led attacks on the German battleship Tirpitz. The last occasion was on 12th November, 1944. The vessel was lying at Tromso. Visibility was good as Wing Commander Tait led his squadron in to the attack. In spite of continuous fire from 3 ships and from land batteries, the attack was pressed home. The first bomb, dropped by Wing Commander Tait, hit the Tirpitz. Another hit was obtained almost immediately and another 12,000 Ib bomb fell close alongside. The battleship caught fire and smoke poured from her. Finally, she capsized. By his outstanding skill and leadership, Wing Commander Tait played a prominent part in the success of the operation. This officer has completed 98 sorties and throughout has set an example of a high order.’ D.F.C. London Gazette 22 October 1940. D.F.C. Second Award Bar London Gazette 5 December 1944: ‘Recently, this officer led a formation of aircraft in an attack on the sluice gates of the Kembs Barrage. When nearing the target considerable light anti-aircraft fire was encountered. Nevertheless Wing Commander Tait led his formation into the attack with his usual skill and determination. Although his aircraft was hit and sustained damage, Wing Commander Tait pressed home his attack with precision. Some time previously this officer flew with great distinction in a successful attack on the Dortmund-Ems Canal. He displayed the highest standard of devotion to duty in both attacks on dangerous and difficult targets.’ M.I.D. London Gazette 25 September 1941. James Brian ‘Willie’ Tait was born in Manchester on 9 December 1916 and was educated at Wellingborough School and R.A.F. College Cranwell. He was commissioned Pilot Officer in the Royal Air Force on 1 August 1936, and served during the Second World War, succeeding Leonard Cheshire as the Commanding Officer of 617 (Dambusters) Squadron. He conducted 101 bombing missions during the War, including the one that finally sunk the German battleship Tirpitz. Remaining in the R.A.F. post-War, he was advanced Group Captain in 1953, and was appointed an Aide-de-Camp to H.M. The Queen in 1959. He retired from the R.A.F. in 1964, and died on 31 August 2007. With six gallant decoration to his name Tait is one of the most decorated airmen in the history of the Royal Air Force, and was the only airman to receive four D.S.O.s during the Second World War.

During his service with this Regiment, Captain Gillings has carried out his duties in a manner worthy of the highest praise. He has ever given of his best and has in no way spared himself in the execution of his duty and in any other Unit activity. His little spare time has been devoted to the interests of the Regiment, and in every way he has given far more than his duties require of him. His conscientiousness, spirit of co-operation, loyalty, devotion to duty, and utter disregard of self have been an outstanding example to all ranks of the Regiment.’ Gordon Jack Gillings served with the Royal Corps of Signals throughout the Second World War and, having been advanced War Substantive Regimental Sergeant Major, was commissioned Lieutenant (Quartermaster) on 10 April 1945.

A Kushutara Kira, Bhutan, circa 1972-76,multiple geometric designs, worked in raw silk of mixed pigments on handspun cotton, 130 x 242cmProvenance:Mrs Joy Watkin, by whom gifted to Her Royal Highness Ashi Kesang, the Queen Mother, circa 1972-76acquired by Alain Rouveure in the early 1980s Exhibited:Venice, Textiles du Bhutan pour Expo Venise, 2014Footnote: The present lot was gifted by the Queen Mother, Her Royal Highness Ashi Kesang Choden, to Mrs Joy Watkin, on one of her numerous visits to the Royal Palace. Whilst the Queen Mother was known to receive guests in her private bedroom, close friends, such as Mrs Watkin, the wife of the private doctor of the Royal family of Bhutan and Sikkim, were often invited to sit at the end of the bed. Despite the seemingly informal nature of these visits, however, strict Royal etiquette was observed by other means, with all guests, including close friends and foreign visitors, being required to wear Bhutanese national dress. At each visit, the female guests would be gifted with a new Kira and the men with a Gho. To avoid any embarrassment, servants were allocated to each guest to ensure the complicated folds at the back of the garments were presentable to the court. Woven in the workshop of Her Royal Highness Ashi Kesang Choden, the design of this Kushutara Kira was exclusive to the Queen Mother and could not be replicated elsewhere. Condition report: Very good overall

Hotah Jaloh Kira (lady’s dress cloth), Northern Bhutan, mid 20th century,composed of conjoined panels of worked wool in multi-coloured stripes, all from narrow strap loom, 246 x 125cmProvenance:Acquired in the early 1980sFootnote: Recognised as the national dress of Bhutanese women, the Kira is an ankle-length garment composed of a rectangular piece of fabric woven in three panels on an upright backstrap loom. Traditionally, the Kira is wrapped around the body, secured at the shoulders by Komas (metal buckles) or Tingkhep (metal pins) and cinched at the waist with a Kera (sash/belt). Often used to indicate the social status of the wearer, it is not uncommon for the most intricate Kiras to take more than a year to produce. A variation on the traditional Kira, the Hotah Jaloh Kira is typically manufactured from tightly woven yak or sheep wool and is the favoured winter dress of many Bhutanese women.Condition report: In excess of 10 small holes across the main field, the piece is finished to the reverse with cotton borders
