Geoffrey Williams (British, 1911-1958) A Golden Retriever signed 'Geoffrey/Williams' (lower right) watercolour 29 x 22.5cm (11 7/16 x 8 7/8in). Footnotes: Williams often worked in watercolour, but also on varnished wood, not unlike Frances Mabel Hollams. His works were published, including pictures in 'Hutchinsons Book Of The Dog'. He also worked on some books with Ronald Searle, 'The Dog's Ear Book' and 'How to be a Topp'. The latter was a satire on the English public school system and it is in this the name 'Hogwarts' first appeared - now immortalised by J K Rowling, Harry Potter. Some of Williams' notable paintings of champion dogs included Lorna Countess Howe's Labrador 'Ch Inglestone Ben'; Mrs Crouch's Saluki, 'Ch. Orchard Shahzaman'; Lieut-Colonel Bedford's Long-haired Dachshund, 'Ch. Rose of Armadale'; Mrs Clay's Dalmatian, 'Ch. Lucky James'; McNeil's Borzoi, 'Ch. Miss Mazeppa'; Mr Chapman's Scottish Terrier, 'Ch. Heather Realisation'; and Mr Goodwin's Cairn, 'Ch. Princelo Jester'.

A Second War 1942 Malta ‘Immediate’ D.S.M. group of seven awarded to Stoker Petty Officer A. A. Gill, Royal Navy, for his gallantry during the bombing and sinking of H.M.S. Maori in the Grand Harbour, Valetta, on 12 February 1942 Distinguished Service Medal, G.VI.R. (K.63381 A.A. Gill S.P.O.); 1939-1945 Star; Atlantic Star; Africa Star; Italy Star; War Medal 1939-45; Royal Navy L.S. & G.C., G.VI.R., 1st issue (K.63381 A. A. Gill. S.P.O. H.M.S. Defiance.) mounted as worn, nearly extremely fine (7) £2,000-£2,400 --- D.S.M. London Gazette 12 May 1942. The original Recommendation, dated 20 February 1942, states: ‘When His Majesty’s Ship Maori was hit by a bomb at about 0115 on 12 February 1942, this rating was in charge of one of the Fire Parties under Chief Stoker Worrall. He showed great determination and courage in his efforts to check the spread of fire. When it became evident that further efforts in this direction were useless, he assisted in the shutting of water-tight doors and the lowering of boats. He was one of the last to leave the ship. He conducted himself throughout with exceptional zeal and devotion to duty and showed no regard for his personal safety when in great danger of being hit by splinters from exploding ready-use ammunition, thereby setting a fine example in accordance with the highest traditions of the Service.’ H.M.S. Maori (destroyer) served during the Second World War as part of the Mediterranean Fleet; she had been earlier involved in the pursuit and destruction of the German battleship Bismarck in May 1941, and served with the 14th Destroyer Flotilla during the Battle of Cape Bon in December 1941. The Maori (Commander R. E. Courage, RN) was attacked by German aircraft and sank at her moorings in the Malta Grand Harbour on 12 February 1942; the commanding officer’s report adding the following: ‘H.M.S. Maori, while lying at No. 3 Buoy, Grand Harbour, was hit by a bomb in the Engine Room and Gearing Room... The attack was unexpected as the aircraft was not engaged by any ship or shore battery, with the result that nearly all the Officers and Ship’s Company were asleep at the time. A large fire developed rapidly in the vicinity of the Gearing Room, separating the Officers, who were all in the after part of the ship, from the Ship’s Company; and this fire grew and spread to the ready use ammunition lockers on the after superstructure, causing continuous explosions with flying splinters as round after round of ammunition exploded. Finally, a large explosion took place, probably caused by the Depth Charges in the War Head Magazine... The fact that the Officers were aft and the Ships Company forward, threw the responsibility of initiating the fighting of the fire onto the senior ratings. Chief Stoker C. J. Worrall... and Stoker Petty Officer A. Gill... showed outstanding efficiency and zeal and courage in organising and carrying out this duty.’ Miraculously, despite the loss of the ship, only one of the crew was killed. Maori was raised and scuttled off Malta on 15 July 1945; located a few hundred metres off the shore of Valletta, she is now a popular dive site. Sold with a contemporary H.M.S. Maori Christmas Card, inscribed ‘To My Darling Wife, Your Loving Hubby, with the Seasons Compliments, xxx’; and copied research.

South Atlantic 1982, with rosette (MEM(M)1 L Pearce D171866B HMS Ardent) in its named card box of issue, good very fine £1,600-£2,000 --- H.M.S. Ardent sustained serious damage from enemy air attack on 21 May 1982, and sank off North West Island in Falkland Sound during the following evening, her casualties amounting to 22 killed and 37 wounded. The ship’s fate is summarised in the citation for the D.S.C. awarded to her captain, Commander A. J. West, R.N., as per the following announcement in the London Gazette of 8 October 1982: ‘On 21 May 1982, H.M.S. Ardent, commanded by Commander West, was deployed to Grantham Sound to conduct Naval Gunfire Support during the amphibious landings in San Carlos Water; in particular to cover the withdrawal of an S.A.S. diversionary patrol. Isolated there, H.M.S. Ardent was subject to heavy air attack (at one stage eleven aircraft were involved). Despite these overwhelming odds, Commander West covered the S.A.S. withdrawal and supported 2 Para establishing themselves on Sussex Mountain. He fought his ship bravely, shooting down one Pucara, and continued to bring fire to bear on enemy aircraft despite the progressive loss of the ship’s propulsion, Seacat system and 4.5-inch gun. Eventually, after being hit by no less than nine bombs and several rockets, and with no hope of saving the ship, he ordered her to be abandoned. The utmost credit should go to Commander West for continuing to fight his ship in the face of extreme adversity and in particular for the well organised manner in which she was abandoned. Without his calm courage and personal direction in the face of overwhelming odds far greater loss of life might have occurred.’ In addition to Commander A. J. West, Lieutenant-Commander John Sephton was also awarded the D.S.C., a posthumous award stemming from a V.C. recommendation; Petty Officer John Leake was awarded the D.S.M. (see Dix Noonan Webb, 23 September 2011, Lot 958); Able Seaman John Edward Dillon the G.M., and M.E.A. 1 K. Enticknapp the Q.G.M., another down-graded recommendation.

Cochrane during the operations against the pirates in Borneo in August 1845, where he was engaged on shore during the action at Brunei, the destruction of a stockade, and the capture of a battery of guns together with large quantities of ammunition. Subsequently, he participated - with the foremost line of boats - at the attack of the pirate stronghold of Mallodoo and on the boom being broken, was landed with the Royal Marine Force which drove the pirates from their entrenchments and pursued them up country. In 1846, Kennedy served with the force under Colonel Despard in operations in New Zealand, and was actively engaged in the advance on, siege and capture of the Ruapekapeka Stockade, an event which ended the war.

A rare 1914 ‘Affair at Nery’ group of four awarded to Sergeant S. G. Roe, “L” Battery, Royal Horse Artillery 1914 Star (57021 A.Bmbr: S. G. Roe. R.H.A.); British War and Victory Medals (57021 Sjt. S. G. Roe. R.A.); Army L.S. & G.C., G.V.R., 2nd issue with fixed suspension (1032311 Sjt. S. G. Roe. R.A.) mounted as worn, light contact marks, nearly very fine (4) £300-£400 --- Samuel Gibbons Roe was born in Nottingham in 1892. He married Irene E. Cross at Marylebone in 1912 and served in France from 15 August 1914 with “L” Battery, Royal Horse Artillery. Responsible for light, mobile guns designed to provide firepower in support of the cavalry, “L” Battery and “I” Battery formed 7th R.H.A. Brigade in support of the 1st Cavalry Brigade. Heavily engaged on 24 August 1914 in the area of Quievrain and Baisieux, the guns of “L” Battery proved devastating against waves of enemy infantry; firing shrapnel shells low and with accuracy, Major Tom Bridges of the 4th Dragoons noted ‘two British guns firing away as if they had been on the range at Okehampton.’ Having survived this engagement, Roe and his comrades joined the famous ‘Retreat from Mons’ with German forces consistently nipping at their heels. Tired from endless marching and the manoeuvring of heavy limbers along cobbled and unmade roads, “L” Battery and the 1st Cavalry Brigade selected the somewhat remote, small and ancient commune of Nery as the place to spend the night of 31 August-1 September 1914. Remarkably, the German 4th Cavalry Division had similar ideas, bivouacking a mere two miles away. Thus, as the fog lifted the following morning and each side sent reconnaissance patrols out to determine the situation, the scene was set for one of the most famous engagements of the entire Great War: the Affair at Nery. The Affair at Nery At first light on 1 September 1914 the Germans launched their attack on two flanks. Fired upon by 12 artillery pieces, supported by numerous machine guns, the men of “L” Battery awoke to a scene of utter chaos and destruction. Men and horses, mostly in the open and packed closely together, were shot down in swathes. Being closest to the enemy on the east side of the village, “L” Battery received the full weight of enemy fire from 700-800 yards; as the frightened horses plunged in their harnesses, the poles of their limbers embedded themselves in the ground and the horses were pinioned as they were blown to pieces by German shellfire. Amidst this scene of hell, the surviving Gunners rallied under the command of Captain E. K. Bradbury, initially getting three guns into the fight. Expending their ammunition to the very last, “L” Battery were eventually reduced to a single artillery piece, their gallantry decisive in ‘buying time’ for the classic cavalry charge by the Queen’s Bays which ultimately restored the situation by creating confusion amongst the enemy. The action cost the British 135 casualties, including 23 killed and 31 wounded from the Battery. It also resulted in the award of three Victoria Crosses to the men of “L” Battery, Royal Horse Artillery. Today, the surviving ‘Nery Gun’ is preserved in the Imperial War Museum, testament to the ‘David and Goliath’ struggle of that early autumn morning. Roe survived the Great War and never claimed the clasp to his 1914 Star. He died at Worksop, Nottinghamshire, on 5 December 1946. Sold with copied research.
