D.S.O. London Gazette 29/10/1943 William Cunningham enlisted as a Marine on the 14th May 1940. He was commissioned as a Temporary Lieutenant in August of that year, and in October he was appointed to 103 Brigade for the 8th Battalion R.M.. He spent some of this time as an instructor at the R.M. Cadet Training Unit at Thurlestone. In November 1942 he transferred to the newly formed 41 (Royal Marine) Commando, with the rank of Acting Temporary Captain. A period of intensive training followed - the unit diary for 21 June 1943 records, for example: "…40 and 41 Commandos and Bde H.Q. landed at Brodick (Arran) for cliff climbing exercises". Two days later, the senior officers travelled by air to London to "collect latest oblique photographs of "HUSKY"" The planning for Husky involved the convergence on Sicily of three naval task forces. The Special Service Brigade comprised of 40 and 41 Commandos and commanded by Brigadier Robert Laycock was attached to the 1st Canadian Division, which set out from the UK as part of Task Force V under Admiral Philip Vian, on the 28th June. The Special Service Brigade was assigned to the extreme western end of the British landing beaches, on the Pachino peninsula, to protect the Canadian landing by capturing coastal gun emplacements and then providing flank protection until the rest of the force was established ashore. The neutralisation of one such strong point was the particular responsibility of Cunningham and his troop, but their landing was hampered by heavy seas and logistical problems, and he found himself ashore in the wrong place, with a drastically understrength unit. He led his men swiftly to their objective, where another problem awaited them. The enemy position, which Cunningham had approached from the rear, was protected by barbed wire entanglements, and the Bangalore torpedoes that he needed to clear it had been lost in the landing. He was obliged to use wire cutters instead - a far more hazardous method. Next, Cunningham dashed round to the front of the emplacement, exposing himself to direct enemy fire, and personally silenced the position by putting a grenade through a loophole. The price of this success was a severe wound to his left arm caused by machinegun fire. In spite of this he refused to leave the field until the action had concluded, and according to the recommendation he accounted for a significant number of the enemy - either dead or taken prisoner. The significance of his deed is summarized in the recommendation thus: "His leadership especially after a painful wound was an inspiration to all. I consider that less resolute action by this Officer would have resulted in considerably heavier casualties to our Troops" It is noteworthy that for the Second World War the Royal Marines were awarded a mere 38 D.S.O.s (including second and third awards) - a tiny proportion of the overall total of 5,444. This group is thus very rare. Also of great interest is the fact that William Cunningham was the younger brother of the highly decorated pilot John 'Cat's Eyes' Cunningham. Following a period of recuperation, Cunningham was assessed as unfit for further commando service, and joined the staff at Thurlstone. He subsequently served as Town Mayor of Middelburg after the capture of Walcheren. Rejoining 41 Commando after the war, he rose to become its commanding officer. He received further injuries in a car accident, while on duty, in January 1946. He was released from the Royal Marines in August 1946, and awarded the King's Badge. Commissioned a Captain in the R.M.F.V.R., he was promoted Major in 1950, before finally retiring from the armed forces in June 1960. He died 23rd February 1989, aged 68 years.

Original vintage sport poster for the Tour de France 1965 sponsored by Coca-Cola and showing a blue and red map of the race's route. This map was included in a special issue dedicated to the Tour by the magazine Miroir du Cyclisme, and results for each stages have been hand written onto to the map. The Tour de France (French pronunciation: ?[tu? d? f???s]) is an annual men's multiple stage bicycle race primarily held in France, while also occasionally passing through nearby countries. Like the other Grand Tours (the Giro d'Italia and the Vuelta a España), it consists of 21 day-long stages over the course of 23 days. It has been described as "the world’s most prestigious and most difficult bicycle race". The race was first organized in 1903 to increase sales for the newspaper L'Auto and is currently run by the Amaury Sport Organisation. The race has been held annually since its first edition in 1903 except when it was stopped for the two World Wars. As the Tour gained prominence and popularity, the race was lengthened and its reach began to extend around the globe. Participation expanded from a primarily French field, as riders from all over the world began to participate in the race each year. The Tour is a UCI World Tour event, which means that the teams that compete in the race are mostly UCI WorldTeams, with the exception of the teams that the organizers invite. It has become "the world's biggest annual sporting event." Traditionally, the race is held primarily in the month of July. While the route changes each year, the format of the race stays the same with the appearance of time trials, the passage through the mountain chains of the Pyrenees and the Alps, and the finish on the Champs-Élysées in Paris. The modern editions of the Tour de France consist of 21 day-long segments (stages) over a 23-day period and cover around 3,500 kilometres (2,200 mi). The race alternates between clockwise and counterclockwise circuits of France.Year of printing: 1965, country of printing: France, designer: Unknown, dimensions (cm): 61x49.5. Good condition, folded as issued, yellowing and staining, pinholes in corners. Hand written annotations have been added to the map.

Original vintage advertising poster for La Radiophonie Normande (LNR), a French radio manufacturer or a radio station, reading: 'Hyphen between the world and everyone' (Text in French reads: 'Trait d'union entre le monde et tout le monde'). The poster features an Art Deco style design by Bertrand showing a lightning symbol connecting a globe to a radio. Printed in France by S.E.P. Marseille. Radio Normandie was one of the most successful commercial radio stations in Europe in the years between the two world wars. It was based in the small French coastal town of Fécamp, which became one of the evocative names on radio dials. From its origins in the Radio Club de Fécamp, a gathering of enthusiasts founded in January 1924, it was granted licence EF81C by the French PTT (telegraph authority) in 1926 and on 18 November that year became a fully-fledged broadcaster as Radio Fécamp. The driving force was Fernand Le Grand, who enjoyed a personal fortune from the manufacturing of the liqueur Bénédictine, which was the town's main industry. In 1928 a new transmitter gave the fledgling station a range of 100 km, enough to cover not only Normandy and much of north-west France but also to reach across the Channel to southern England. In 1929 Radio Fécamp became Radio Normandie. It occupied several buildings in the coastal town of Fécamp, the principal one being the villa Vincelli la Grandière. Year of printing: 1936, country of printing: France, designer: Bertrand, dimensions (cm): 120x80. Fair condition, staining, folded as issued, creases, small tears in margins.
