Lot 387
One secret and two humorous Royal Navy communications (1935-1941): 1. 'Report of Operations in Pursuit of the Bismarck' with 28/05/41 cover letter of congratulations from Admiral Jack Tovey to the commanding officers of the Home Fleet (659/H.F. 1325). The first of the 12-page enclosure stamped 'SECRET' and the tenth includes Tovey’s assessment of the sinking in point 28: 'After being torpedoed on both sides, Bismarck sank at 1037 in position 48°09’N, 16°07’W, close to where the action started, with her colours still flying. She had put up a most gallant fight against impossible odds, worthy of the old days of the Imperial German Navy. It is unfortunate that “for political reasons” this fact cannot be made public.’ Tovey goes on to say in point 29 how HMS Dorsetshire and Maori rescued 103 German officers and ratings and were forced to abandon the remaining survivors when ‘Dorsetshire sighted a suspicious object, which might have been a U-boat.' 2. Naval Message dated 30/12/35 – ‘It is a custom in some localities of Alexandria to throw bottles from the windows of houses at about midnight on the 31st December. This is an old custom and although it has no hostile intent but endangers passers by and the broken glass is detrimental to motor tyres. Officers and men who land on the 31st December are to be warned accordingly.' 3. Floyd Gibbons - 'Ear-Shattering Exhibition of John Bull's Might' - dated 21/11/35, 1800 words of truly entertaining and fast-reading copy wired by the intrepid American war correspondent from Alexandria in between his 1934 Mussolini interview and his coverage of the Spanish Civil War. It covers the 'Big Shoot [which] had been scheduled for the purpose of impressing Egypt with Britain's might’. Floyd managed to witness the spectacle, a 31-ship and 60-plane live-round exercise off Alexandria, from the bridge of the newly launched HMS Ajax, because, he said, he was wearing an ‘English sombrero’ (presumably a sun-helmet), which had nearly cost him his life three days before in the Cairo student riots. According to the authors of ‘Grippo’, the 1935-1937 history of the Ajax, Gibbons was inexplicably allowed on board by the Officer of the Watch without an invitation to the British-Press-only affair despite his gangster-like appearance. The leather-faced ace reporter for the Hearst Press, had a rasping voice, boisterous personality and had lost an eye in France during the First War.Once it had been wired to America, Gibbons' copy was distributed to the red-faced commanders of the Mediterranean Fleet. It is quoted in full and the story recounted in 'Grippo - A Record of the First Commission of HMS Ajax (1935-1937)’ under the chapter subtitle 'ENTER FLOYD GIBBONS OR HOW THE BRITISH WERE BALLYHOOED.' www.axfordsabode.org.uk/pdf-docs/ajax09.pdf Provenance - by descent through the family of Capt. Philip Foster Glover RN, Commander of the Ramillies in 1935 and Director of the Signal Department in 1941.
