Canadian Memorial Cross, G.V.R., the reverse officially inscribed ‘Lieut. A. Shortt. M-C.’, good very fine £100-£140 --- M.C. London Gazette 21 December 1916: ‘For conspicuous gallantry in action. When his company was held up, with five men he succeeded in bombing a machine gun and putting it out of action. Later, he returned across “No Man’s Land” under heavy fire in daylight to give information on the situation.’ Edward Allen Low Shortt was born at Arrochar, Staten Island, New York, on 17 April 1896. He married Marie Crevalin Clark at Kingston, Ontario on 16 February 1916 and the same year embarked for the Western Front, having accepted a commission in the Central Ontario Regiment, despite being due to matriculate at Harvard in 1917. Lieutenant Shortt was awarded the M.C. and later reported missing in action during a raid on the German trenches on 10 December 1916. He was later confirmed killed in action on this date. The following article appeared in the Boston Sunday Globe on 04 February 1917: ‘Harvard ‘17 Man Falls in to Hands of the Germans on the British Front on Dec 10. Reports come to Cambridge that Allen Shortt, Harvard ‘17, has been captured by the Germans during recent fighting on the British front on Dec 10, 1916. At that time he was among the long list of British missing and as he had not been heard from since, the British authorities were compelled to report him as among the prisoners. Shortt has won a reputation since he enlisted and went to the front with the British forces. A month after reporting for service, Shortt was awarded the Military Cross for marked bravery in action. During one battle in particular, Shortt, alone, put a German machine gun out of action and in another he crossed “no man’s land” carrying information under a heavy fire, the German bullets grazing his body, cutting one place the leather strap of his equipment.’ Shortt has no known grave and is commemorated on the Vimy Memorial, France.

An Earth and Moon pendant necklace by Minas, the bi-coloured globe rotating on an axis, suspended from a black cord with a full moon slider, signed ‘Minas’, length adjustable. £600-£700 --- Minas was born in Athens in 1938 to a Greek family of migrants from Asia Minor. From a young age he showed his interest and love for design. At 15, he began an internship with Angelos Vourakis, the official jewellery supplier to the Greek royal court, which led to his first job in the art of jewellery making. In 1959, Minas began his military service in the Greek Royal Navy, gaining an interest and experience in mechanical engineering. Leaving Greece in 1969, with 200 dollars in his pocket and a one way ticket to America, he quickly secured a job with David Webb, one of the most famous jewellery manufacturers of the time. He soon set up his own workshop in New York, creating and marketing his own designs, focusing on the themes of simplicity, ergonomics and harmony. By 1976 he began exporting his jewellery to Italy, moving to Milan to cooperate fully with leading gemologist Roberto Cusi. After Cusi’s death in 1981, Minas returned to his homeland Greece, continuing to develop his designs for furniture and machinery as well as jewellery. In 1986 he moved to the island of Mykonos, and in 1992 exhibited his full body of work at the Zoumboulakis Gallery. During that year he made contact with the Danish company Georg Jensen and his 12 year cooperation with the brand began, leading to major exhibitions in Copenhagen, New York, London and Paris. He opened his first official store in Mykonos in 1998 and second store in Athens in 2005.
