A 1940s gold plated pocket watch, its case back bearing a period-engraved presentation inscription 'To "Skipper" Barton, 1942-1944', [Believed to be that of Cyril Joe Barton VC (5 June 1921 – 31 March 1944), Second World War RAF bomber pilot and posthumous recipient of the Victorian Cross, the award citation reads (London Gazette 27th June 1944): "On the night of 30th March, 1944, Pilot Officer Barton was captain and pilot of a Halifax aircraft detailed to attack Nurenberg. When some 70 miles short of the target, the aircraft was attacked by a Junkers 88. The burst of fire from the enemy made the intercommunication system useless. One engine was damaged when a Messerschmitt 210 joined in the fight. The bomber's machine guns were out of action and the gunners were unable to return the fire. Fighters continued to attack the aircraft as it approached the target area and, in the confusion caused by the failure of the communications system at the height of the battle, a signal was misinterpreted and the navigator, air bomber and wireless operator left the aircraft by parachute. Pilot Officer Barton faced a situation of dire peril. His aircraft was damaged, his navigational team had gone and he could not communicate with the remainder of the crew. If he continued his mission, he would be at the mercy of hostile fighters when silhouetted against the fires in the target area, and if he survived he would have to make a 4 1/2 hours journey home on three engines across heavily-defended territory. Determined to press home his attack at all costs, he flew on and, reaching the target, released the bombs himself. As Pilot Officer Barton turned for home the propeller of the damaged engine, which was vibrating badly, flew off. It was also discovered that two of the petrol tanks had suffered damage and were leaking. Pilot Officer Barton held to his course and, without navigational aids and in spite of strong headwinds, successfully avoided the most dangerous defence areas on his route. Eventually, he crossed the English coast only 90 miles north of his base. By this time the petrol supply was nearly exhausted. Before a suitable landing place could be found, the port engine stopped. The aircraft was now too low to be abandoned successfully. Pilot Officer Barton therefore ordered the three remaining members of his crew to take up their crash stations. Then, with only one engine working, he made a gallant attempt to land clear of the houses over which he was flying. The aircraft finally crashed and Pilot Officer Barton lost his life, but his three comrades survived. Pilot Officer Barton had previously taken part in four attacks on Berlin and 14 other operational missions. On one of these two members of his crew were wounded during a determined effort to locate the target despite the appalling weather conditions. In gallantly completing his last mission in the face of almost impossible odds, this officer displayed unsurpassed courage and devotion to duty."
Charles I penny love token. 1625-1649 AD. Silver, 0.54g. 11.5mm. In Britain, the practice of giving ‘love tokens’ has been around from at least Roman times. The breaking of gold and coins were often included as part of the marriage ceremonial contract, as noted by Loreen Giese in Courtships, Marriage Customs, and Shakespeare’s Comedies (2006). Ardent suitors would often bend the coins and present them to the lady they wished to court as a symbol of the strength of their love, affection and intent. If the love token was accepted, that meant the suitor was successful; if they were discarded, it was a rejection.
