A post-War O.B.E., Second War ‘Battle of Crete’ D.S.C. group of nine awarded to Commander M. J. Clark, H.M.A.S. Nizam, Royal Australian Navy, later Naval Officer in Charge, North East Australian Area, and Resident Naval Officer Port Melbourne The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, O.B.E. (Military) Officer’s 2nd type breast badge, silver-gilt; Distinguished Service Cross, G.VI.R., reverse officially dated 1942, hallmarks for London 1940; 1939-45 Star; Atlantic Star; Africa Star; Burma Star; War Medal 1939-45; Australia Service Medal, the six campaign awards all impressed ‘M. J. Clark. R.A.N.’; Coronation 1953, unnamed as issued, mounted as worn; together with the recipient’s related miniature awards, these similarly mounted as worn, the Burma Star additionally with the Pacific clasp, lacquered, generally good very fine (9) £2,400-£2,800 --- O.B.E. London Gazette 1 January 1958. D.S.C. London Gazette 8 January 1942. The original Recommendation states: ‘For outstanding gallantry, fortitude, and resolution whilst in command of H.M.A.S. Nizam during the Battle of Crete. The excellent manner in which he handled his ship on more than one occasion saved her from being damaged by bombs. At Sphakia on 28-29 and 30-31 May 1941, his organisation greatly assisted the embarkation of so many men and there was never any doubt that he would interpret his orders in the way intended. Very good reports of him have also been received from the Senior Officers of the forces taking part in the various other operations off Crete. He has always handled his ship with that dash which one expects from a good destroyer officer.’ Max Joshua Clark was born at Franklin, Tasmania, on 30 March 1906 and joined the Royal Australian Navy at Melbourne, Victoria, as a Naval Cadet on 1 January 1920. He was appointed Midshipman on 15 May 1924, and was commissioned Acting Sub-Lieutenant on 15 September 1926. Promoted Lieutenant on 30 September 1929, and Lieutenant-Commander on 30 September 1937, he served during the Second World War in command of the Destroyer H.M.A.S. Nizam from 19 December 1940. On 21 May 1941, H.M.A.S. Nizam took part in the bombardment of Scarpento. Having then landed troops and stores at Suda Bay for the reinforcement of Crete, she was the last British vessel to leave, only four hours before the Germans occupied the port. On 28-29 May, during the evacuation of Crete, Nizam, with the 7th Flotilla, embarked 114 troops at Sphakia. On he return passage to Alexandria the flotillas was bombed by enemy aircraft and Nizam sustained minor damage from near-misses. Next evening, on 30-31 May, Nizam, along with H.M.S. Napier, arrived at Sphakia on a second evacuation mission Two Royal Navy vessels had been forced to withdraw, one with engine trouble, the other bomb-damaged. Between them Nizam and Napier embarked over 1,400 troops, who were landed at Alexandria on 31 May. For his services during the Battle of Crete, Clark was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross. Characteristically, upon learning of the award, he informed his crew: ‘This belongs to all of us, for we all won it.’ Promoted Commander on 31 December 1942, he was presented with the insignia of the D.S.C. by H.E. The Governor-General at Government House, Melbourne, on 20 November 1943. After a spell as a Training Commander at Flinders Naval Depot, he was subsequently given command of the Destroyer H.M.A.S. Warramunga on 19 April 1945, and two years later was appointed Executive Officer of the Balmoral Naval Depot. He held various other land based rolls for the rest of his career, including State Civil Defence Co-Ordinating Officer, Premier’s Department, State of Victoria; Naval Officer in Charge, North East Australian Area; and Resident Naval Officer Port Melbourne and Commanding Officer of H.M.A.S. Lonsdale. Created an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in the 1958 New Year’s Honours’ List, he retired from H.M.A.S. Lonsdale on 3 April 1958. Sold with a copy of the book N Class, in which the recipient is frequently mentioned; various individual and group photographic images; and a large quantity of copied research.
Lot 63
A fine and extremely well documented Great War 1918 ‘Western Front’ DH4 pilot’s D.S.C. group of four awarded to Flight Lieutenant C. F. Brewerton, Royal Naval Air Service and Royal Air Force, who served as a Flight Commander of 2 Squadron, R.N.A.S., and flew countless reconnaissance missions over Belgium - often engaging enemy aircraft, with his aircraft being hit by machine gun and anti-aircraft fire, and two observers suffering wounds as a consequence. Brewerton went on to fly BE2b’s with 20 Squadron on the North West Frontier, with his letters home providing valuable insight into the extreme dangers of flying during that conflict. He commanded No. 423 (Fleet Spotter) Flight, Malta, and was killed in a flying accident whilst piloting a Bison, 18 January 1927 Distinguished Service Cross, G.V.R., hallmarks for London ‘1917’; British War and Victory Medals, with M.I.D. oak leaves (Capt. C. F. Brewerton. R.A.F.); India General Service 1908-35, 2 clasps, Waziristan 1919-21, Waziristan 1921-24 (F/O. C. F. Brewerton. R.A.F.) with unofficial retaining rod between clasps, mounted for wear, edge bruising, very fine (4) £3,000-£4,000 --- D.S.C. London Gazette 17 April 1918 (in joint citation with H. A. Furniss, R.N.A.S.): ‘For skill and courage displayed by him in carrying out many long and valuable photographic reconnaissance's over enemy territory, particularly over Ostende, on 21 February 1918.’ Cyril Fraser Brewerton was born in Sevenoaks, Kent in 1898. He was appointed Flight Sub Lieutenant (on probation) in the Royal Naval Air Service in July 1916. Brewerton carried out pilot training at R.N.A.S. Chingford, and gained his ‘Wings’ in December 1916. He was posted as a pilot to R.N.A.S. East Fortune at the end of January 1917, and subsequently to Pembroke and Dover in the following months. Brewerton was posted for operational service with 2 Squadron, R.N.A.S., on the Western Front, 1 September 1917. The Squadron was employed primarily in DH4’s on photographic reconnaissance and light bombing operations. Brewerton’s Log Book shows him as flying numerous photographic reconnaissance operations over Ostende and Nieuport throughout September 1917, including carrying out spotting for Monitors. He continued in a similar role, also covering Bruges, the following month - including 27 October 1917, ‘Photos: Attacked by 5 E.A. at long range on return.’ (Log Book refers) Four days later Brewerton was carrying out another reconnaissance over the same target, ‘Escort to photo m/c. Attacked two E.A. on return, gun jammed and just before crossing the lines was attacked by high patrol of 6 E.A. Gunlayer wounded in arm after shooting one down.’ Brewerton carried out a large number of reconnaissance missions into the New Year, including a two and half hour flight to Ostende, 21 February 1918. In a letter to his mother dated, 30 March 1918, Brewerton writes: ‘I got the D.S.C. the other day so I am quite pleased with life. I expect it will be in the papers in a day or two so look out for it...’ 2 Squadron was renumbered 202 Squadron with the formation of the Royal Air Force in April 1918. Brewerton, who had advanced to Captain, stayed on with the squadron and was flying DH4 A7632 when his aircraft was hit by anti-aircraft fire over Ostende, 13 June 1918. His Observer, Lieutenant M. G. English, was wounded. Brewerton’s letters home hint at difficult times, including one written, 15 June 1918: ‘I have got some fairly interesting news for a change and that is that I have been given a home job for a few months at Dover for a rest. I have had some rather rotten trips just lately ending up with my observer getting a piece of shell in his head over Hunland, so the CO put in for me to go to a home job for a bit...’ Brewerton was appointed to the command of No. 491 (Light Bomber) Flight in June 1918. The latter flew DH9’s from Guston Road, Dover, and Brewerton’s Log Book states, ‘total time at Guston Road on Submarine Patrols 70 hours.’ Brewerton advanced to Flying Officer in August 1919, and was posted for operational flying with 20 Squadron (BE2b’s) in India in February 1920. In a letter to his mother, dated 24 January 1921, Brewerton offers the following insight: ‘We ‘beat up’ some tribesmen yesterday and had the satisfaction of killing two women as well as several men. The women are much worse than the men up here if you are captured, one day I will tell you some stories about them.’ To put the above into context, there were examples of women carrying out castration amongst other atrocities on those being unfortunate enough to be captured. Brewerton was subsequently appointed to the command of No. 423 (Fleet Spotter) Flight, Malta, and was killed in a flying accident, 18 January 1927. The following official statement was issued by the R.A.F. at the time: ‘The Air Ministry regrets to announce that as a result of an accident at Malta to an Avro Bison of No. 423 Flight on January 18 Flight Lieutenant Cyril Fraser Brewerton, D.S.C., Royal Air Force, the pilot of the aircraft; Edwin Chafe, Lieutenant, Royal Navy; Lieutenant Guy Owen Owens-Jones, Royal Navy and J.39729 Leading Telegraphist George William Burton, Royal Navy, were killed. The aeroplane had just taken off, and, still flying directly into the wind, approached the coast where the cliff is about 300 feet high. Here the air was unusually disturbed by a gusty wind blowing seawards at about 30 miles an hour. The machine, at a height of 50 feet was thrown out of control, the starboard lower wing struck the ground near the cliff edge, and the machine plunged into the sea. There is no indication of any defect in the aircraft or engine. Flight Commander C. F. Brewerton, who commanded the Flight, was a most skilful pilot, with many years’ experience, both during and since the war.’ Brewerton’s brother Eric, who had been awarded a D.F.C., was officer commanding of No. 440 (Fleet Reconnaissance) Flight also based on Malta, at the same time as the accident. Flight Lieutenant Brewerton is buried in Pieta Cemetery, Malta. M.I.D. unconfirmed. Sold with the following original documentation: Royal Naval Air Service Pilot’s Flying Log Book (8 September 1916 - 11 February 1919); R.N.A.S. Pilot Graduation Certificate, dated 13 December 1916; 3 Service and Conduct Certificates; Gunnery and Bomb Dropping Qualification Certificates; 6 Appointment and Posting Certificates; several photographs of recipient from service; a large number of letters, predominantly written to recipient’s mother and mostly on R.N.A.S. Station East Fortune letter headed paper, from wartime service including on the North West Frontier; with other ephemera.
Lot 66
A fine Great War ‘1917’ FE2d and DH4 Ace’s M.C. group of three awarded to Major H. R. Harker, Royal Flying Corps and Royal Air Force - a skilled Flight Commander with 57 Squadron, who extricated his bomber formation from a dog fight with a vastly superior numbered German force led by Lothar Von Richthofen, 30 April 1917. A veteran of such skirmishes during ‘Bloody April’, Harker went on to claim at least 5 Victories before tragically succumbing to the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1919 Military Cross, G.V.R., reverse engraved ‘1917 Awarded To 2nd Lieut. (Temp. Capt.) H. R. Harker. R.F.C. “Consistently Set A Splendid Example To His Brother Officers” Died 27.2.1919 Major In R.A.F.’; British War and Victory Medals, with M.I.D. oak leaves, mounted upside down (Capt. H. R. Harker. R.F.C.) mounted for display, good very fine (3) £3,000-£4,000 --- M.C. London Gazette 9 January 1918: ‘For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. For nearly a year he has carried out extremely valuable work in taking aeroplane photographs and leading bombing raids far behind the enemy lines, often in the face of great opposition and trying weather conditions. On a recent occasion while returning from a successful bombing raid his formation was attacked by more than twice its number but by his fine offensive spirit and skilful leadership the enemy were dispersed. He has consistently set a splendid example to his brother officers.’ M.I.D. London Gazette 27 May 1919. Howard Redmayne Harker was born in May 1891, and was the son of Mr and Mrs J. D. Harker of Prestwich, Manchester. He was educated at Laurence House School, St. Annes-on-Sea, Rossall School and Manchester University. Harker had been a member of the university O.T.C., and upon leaving in 1913 was employed in the Experimental Department of the Royal Air Craft Factory. Eventually, despite deferment because of important war work, he successfully obtained a commission as a Second Lieutenant in the Royal Flying Corps in April 1916. Harker gained his Royal Aero Club Certificate (No. 2945) in May 1916, and having completed his flying training advanced to Flying Officer the following month. He was posted for operational flying with the newly formed 57 Squadron (FE2d’s) to France, 16 December 1916. The Squadron were employed on fighter reconnaissance duties, and Harker achieved their first victory when flying with Second Lieutenant V. D. Fernauld (an American) as his observer, 24 March 1917. The Combat Report gives the following: ‘FE2d A/1954, armed with 2 Lewis guns, Pilot 2/Lt. H. R. Harker, Observer 2/Lt. V. D. Fernauld engaged a hostile aircraft at 1145, east of Lens, at 9,000ft. The H.A. was a signle seat tractor biplane with one or two fixed guns. The H.A. was engaged from above on his right side with the sun behind the FE2d. A burst of about 20 rounds was fired, from almost directly above the H.A. at a range of less than 50 yards, by the Oobserver. The tracer bullets were seen entering the engine and fuselage, and H.A. went down practically vertically, twisting about....’ The superiority of the German aircraft was to come to the fore the following month, known as ‘Bloody April’, when the Squadron lost a number of pilots in combat. Harker wrote home, 7 April 1917: ‘We are having quite a busy time of late for reasons which you will gather by the time you get this letter and see its date. We are engaged in the somewhat arduous and occasionally mildly exciting task of gaining what the politicians love to call ‘The supremacy of the air.’ I have for the third time been appointed acting Flight Commander and may possibly remain so this time. The man who relieved me of my temporary command the last time went over the line yesterday morning and the unkind Huns promptly shot him down and he landed within 50 yards of our outposts in front of the Hindenburg line. He is now in ‘Blighty’ I expect. He was luckier than the other four machines, which did not return all... This particular patrol were asked to do a well nigh impossible task which we have not been required to repeat so you need not think I am likely to follow them... It is somewhat parky in the upper atmosphere just now and many of us are suffering from mild frostbite...’ A ‘scrap’ with Lothar Von Richthofen Harker led a bombing formation, 30 April 1917, which had a brush with Lothar von Richthofen: ‘Forty minutes after his destruction of the 16 Squadron BE, Lothar Von Richthofen and his command, together with elements of Jasta 12, spotted a formation of FEs in the morning light. The FEs, led by Captain H. R. Harker (A6401), were from 57 Squadron. Earlier at 06.50 the British had spotted German fighters over Lécluse but, outnumbered as they were, had decided that discretion was the better part of valour and withdrew. At 07.00 over Vitry, they were approached by yet another formation of enemy scouts, six above them and three others at their own altitude. In the initial attack, two of the FE’s fell, one to Lothar, the other to the leader of Jasta 12, Adolf von Tutschek.... Another of the FE’s (A1966) was picked off by the three enemy scouts operating at the lower level.... An enemy machine was also hit, going down two miles SW of Douai. Yet another of the German planes went down under the fire of the FE’s, landing near to Vitry at 07.15. The German losses were soon more than made good by the arrival of reinforcements.... Still the Germans continued not to commit themselves to an all-out attack, a situation which allowed Harker and three other FE’s to edge their way slowly back to the British lines.’ (Under the Guns of the German Aces, by N. Franks and H. Giblin refers). It is highly likely that the above action is one the one referred to in the recipient’s M.C. citation. Harker advanced to Acting Captain and Flight Commander after ‘Bloody April’. The Squadron re-equipped with DH4’s in May 1917, and was tasked with long range bomber reconnaissance. It moved to Boisdinghem the following month, and joined the 27th Wing as part of V Brigade. The latter was employed in support of the British Army during the Ypres Offensive, and this new role seems to have suited Harker as he added at least another 4 enemy aircraft to his score between 18 June - 21 August 1917 (some sources credit him with 7 enemy aircraft shot down). Having completed his tour with 57 Squadron, Harker returned to the UK at the end of August 1917. Subsequent appointments included as Acting Squadron Commander of 3 I.T.S., and also instructing at No. 2 School of Navigation and Bomb Dropping, R.A.F. Andover. He advanced to Acting Major in October 1918, and tragically succumbed to the then raging Spanish Flu pandemic, dying at the Officer’s Military Hospital at Tidworth, 27 February 1919. Major Harker was mentioned in despatches for his work at Andover, and this was posthumously gazetted. He is buried in the Southern Cemetery, Manchester. Sold with a large amount of copied research, including photographic images.

Between March and November 25 operations flying the four engined Liberator operating from India. An unpublished autobiography covering his life from 6th March 1917 to 29th August 1992.Various training manuals cuttings etc. Recommendation for the Air Force Cross:Squadron Leader Barlow, while on exchange duties with No. 103 Rescue Unit of the Royal Canadian Air Force, carried out several mercy missions and rescues. Most of these were under trying conditions, but Squadron Leader Barlow, by his example and courage, always set the highest standards both as Captain and as a Flight Commander. On one occasion as Captain of a Dakota aircraft he was forced to land on a beach in order to effect a rescue and on another with only one engine functioning and while lost over Labrador, he finally managed to carry out a safe landing. His most hazardous trips were as Captain of a Canso aircraft. He carried out landings in unknown waters in bays and inlets around the shores of Newfoundland and Labrador. The most outstanding was at Saglik Bay where a construction hand was delirious owing to spinal meningitis. Because it was breakup season no commercial concern would attempt the evacuation. While a rescue Lancaster dropped medical supplest sustain the patient Squadron Leader Barlow made a through reconnaissance of the water areas and found that he might just manage to land and take off in the space cleared among the ice flows by the winding tide. This clearing action only lasted for about an hour and the Canso would be damaged or sunk if caught in the ice. After warning the party on the ground to have the patient in a boat and ready to transfer him rapidly as possible Squadron Leader Barlow carried out a water landing. The landing proved that the cleared area was even shorter than it appeared from the air and assistance was necessary to clear the floes on takeoff. Squadron Leader Barlow would have been justified in not risking his crew in order to save one man, yet by his skill and good judgment he was able to safe a life. The skill courage and devotion to duty displayed by Squadron Leader Barlow during his tour of duty as a Sea Air Rescue Pilot in this group are worthy of recognition.A pre war regular he enlisted in 1936, volunteering for aircrew duties he qualified as a WOP/AG and at the outbreak of WW2 was serving with 16 Squadron which operated the Westland Lysander aircraft. He embarked with the Squadron to France serving with the BEF in the army co-operation role but the Squadron was quickly evacuated. In 1942 he was selected for pilot training and trained in Canada returning to the UK and was then posted to India serving with 159 Squadron flying Liberator bombers. At the end of the war he was serving with the A.H.Q/ Malaya as a Staff Officer with the rank of Squadron Leader. Remaining with the RAF after the end of the war and in February 1950 was posted on an exchange with the RCAF. Now flying with 103 Rescue Unit it would be gallantry on various operations that would earn him the AFC. He retired in 1958 his last posting being Castle Archdale Station Commander. He flew as pilot Canso, Dakota, Sunderland, Lancaster, Meteor and Vampire aircraft.SEE 390A FOR SQUADRON LEADER BARLOW'S UNIFORMS
