Sladden Inter Squadron Officers, Halton, May 1921’, all housed in a privately made velvet lined wooden case with ‘RFC’ embossed on lid, and R.F.C. cap badge, generally very fine (6) £4,000-£5,000 --- M.B.E. London Gazette 3 June 1919: ‘In recognition of distinguished services during the war.’ D.C.M. London Gazette 31 May 1916 (Egypt): ‘For consistent good work in connection with the care and repair of aeroplanes.’ One of only 92 Distinguished Conduct Medals awarded to members of the Royal Flying Corps. Approximately 63 Khedive’s Sudan 1910 Medals were awarded to R.F.C. personnel, 23 of them with them with the ‘Darfur 1916’ clasp. Robert John Sladden was born in Stoke, Devon, and attested for the Royal Artillery at Devonport in August 1906. He served as a Gunner with 148 Battery, Royal Field Artillery prior to transferring to the Royal Flying Corps and being posted to the Flying Depot, 16 July 1912. He advanced to Sergeant in July 1913, and to Senior Mechanic 1st Class and Sergeant Major, and served with 17 Squadron in the Egyptian theatre of war, November 1915 - December 1916. Sladden participated as the senior non-commissioned officer in the Darfur operations of March-December 1916, when four B.E. 2c aircraft from the squadron’s ‘C’ Flight went into action with the Governor-General Sir Reginald Wingate’s blessing, for ‘the sudden appearance out of the blue of flying chariots would impress on Ali Dinar’s followers the futility of resistance.’ Henry Keown-Boyd’s article, From Private to Pilot (O.M.R.S., June 2010), takes up the story: ‘With hindsight, the inclusion of the Flight seems to have been a curiously unnecessary addition to the burden of the war effort bearing in mind the considerable logistical and transportation problems involved, balanced against it uncertain effectiveness. Neither the aircraft or equipment and stores required could be flown in those days the 1,000 miles to destination, so four crated aeroplanes, their fuel in drums, two Leyland lorries, four Crossley tenders, a spare aero engine, two canvas hangars together with arms, ammunition and about 60 officers and men had to be transported by sea and land, the latter part of the journey across trackless desert into central Africa. Via a series of landing grounds and depots the Flight and its equipment was transported from Port Sudan via Khartoum and El Obied by rail, lorry and camel to its main base at Nahud and advance base at Jebel el Hula.’ Keown-Boyd continues: ‘The first operational flight was made on 12 May 1916 by Lieutenant F. Bellamy and on the 17th a plane piloted by Captain Bannatyne was hit by a bullet. On the 23rd, 2nd Lieutenant (later Marshal of the Royal Air Force Sir John) Slessor was wounded in the thigh while attacking Ali Dinar’s army retreating from its defeat at the battle of Beringia but displaying a certain defiance against Wingate’s Flying Chariots! The Sultan Ali Dinar escaped from Beringia but was killed by a Camel Corps patrol a few months later.’ Having been awarded the D.C.M. for his good work in Egypt, Sladden returned to the UK at the end of 1916. He was commissioned Acting Second Lieutenant in the Royal Flying Corps in April 1917, and saw out the remainder of the war with postings in the UK. Sladden advanced to Acting Captain in March 1919, and to Flying Officer in July 1920. He subsequently served at No. 1 Technical Training School, Halton, and retired as Captain in November 1921. The medal group is illustrated in both A Contemptible Little Flying Corps by I. McInnes and J. V. Webb, and On Patrol, The Story of the Khedive’s Medal 1910-22 by B. Hewitt. M.I.D. unconfirmed.

The A.F.C. awarded to Captain L. L. M. Evans, Royal Flying Corps and Royal Air Force, who was killed as a result of an engine failure whilst flying an experimental aircraft from France to England, 9 May 1919, ‘It is difficult to imagine a more tragic situation than that of those three men, uninjured and not drowned, but drifting in their life belts for hours up and down the Channel holding each other up as they died from exhaustion one after another, and were found next morning’ Air Force Cross, G.V.R., in John Pinches case of issue, this with remnants of original named label on underneath, Mint £1,000-£1,400 --- A.F.C. London Gazette 3 June 1918. Llewellyn Lewis Meredith Evans was born in November 1897, and was the son of the Vicar of Brightlingsea, Essex. He was educated at St. Cuthbert’s College, Nottinghamshire, and was a Corporal in the O.T.C. Evans cut short his studies at Cambridge, and was commissioned Second Lieutenant in the Royal Flying Corps in May 1916. He gained his ‘Wings’ in a Maurice Farman Biplane at the Military School in Birmingham, 6 July 1916, and carried out further training as a pilot at C.F.S., Upavon. Evans was employed as an Instructor and Flight Commander at various training squadrons and establishments (A.F.C.). He advanced to Temporary Captain in March 1918, and transferred to the Royal Air Force the following month. Evans was killed in a flying accident, 9 May 1919, in the English Channel near Dover while flying an experimental aircraft from France to England. The following is an extract from his college magazine, 'The Cuthbertian', September 1919 issue No 2: 'It was a great shock to all of us to read in the papers last May that Ll. L. M. Evans was one of the three airmen who were drowned so tragically in the Channel. Evans was Captain of the School during the Last Term of 1915, during which he won a History Exhibition at Magdalene College, Cambridge. The following quotation is taken from the letter of a Priest who knew him since infancy and had been a life-long friend. "In Lllewellyn Evans, S. Cuthbert's has indeed suffered the loss of one of its brightest and best. It is difficult to imagine a more tragic situation than that of those three men, uninjured and not drowned, but drifting in their life belts for hours up and down the Channel holding each other up as they died from exhaustion one after another, and were found next morning. To say exactly where his charm lay would be difficult, but it was chiefly, I think in his undisguised eagerness,and in the unaffected delight he took in everybody and everything." A few days before his death, he had announced his intention of giving up flying on the first opportunity, for he had begun to feel the tremendous strain on his nerves, and of preparing himself for holy orders which had been the ambition of his life. The School has lost one of its best sons, a standing tribute to her influence. The Church on earth has lost an ideal priest. His friends have last one whom it was a joy to have ever met. The very world is the poorer. That is to be set on the other side. His own gain, doubtless, and for us a fragrant and unsullied memory, with a lively hope of meeting him again.’ Captain Evans was buried at Springfield Holy Trinity Churchyard, Essex, and is commemorated on the Chelmsford War Memorial. Sold with the following related items and documents: a selection of items cut from recipient’s tunic including Royal Flying Corps cloth Wings, with A.F.C. horizontal striped riband underneath; 7 R.F.C. Buttons and 2 R.F.C. Collar Badges; R.A.F.
