First World War Battle of Cambrai Tank Corps Section Commander Tank Mask, Belonging to Captain John King Wilson, 14th (London Scottish) Battalion London Regiment, Later Commanding Officer 7 Section, I Battalion Tank Corps, Who’s Tank Received Two Direct Hits on Welsh Ridge Resulting in Him Being Wounded and Sent to Sidcup Hospital Where he was Treated by the Plastic Surgery Pioneer Sir Harold Gillies, Leather covered steel face section with slotted eye section. Chamois covered reverse. Complete with chainmail linked bottom. The brown leather covering has become very dry and flaking. This mask was originally found along with a number of uniform items relating to this officer, sadly the lot has been split up over the years. John King Wilson enlisted as a private into the British Army on the outbreak of the First World War, being an original member of the 14th (London Scottish) battalion London Regiment, and landed with them in September 1914 before being involved in the 1st Battle of Ypres where he was involved in savage fighting around Messines Ridge and the woods around Klein in Zillebeke, where his battalion suffered heavy losses. He also participated in the Battle of Aubers Ridge as well as the Battle of Loos. In 1916, He commissioned into the Heavy branch of the Machine Gun Corps before being transferred to 26th Company, I Battalion Tank Corps. Whilst training in Bovington before leaving for France in the spring of 1917, Wilson was a friend of the 2 OC of the battalion, Captain Clement Atlee, the future Prime Minister of Great Britain. Before landing in France in the late summer of 1917, Wilson was promoted to captain and given command of 7 Section just prior to the battle of Cambrai, where he was in command of a section of 3 tanks, himself being in tank I35. Quickly into the advance, Wilson’s tank is recorded to have destroyed an emplaced trench mortar at R15c.75.92 then ditched in the German front line, after managing to get free and joined the second wave and silenced enemy MGs in La Vacquerie, where he and his crew continued advancing but was suffered two direct hits and was knocked out whilst advancing down the north East slope of Welsh Ridge, seriously wounding Wilson in the Face, which he later wrote about in a memoirs held by the Imperial War Museum, which has been used in numerous books about the Tank battle at Cambrai: “We flattened the machine gun posts that were impeding our infantry’s advance and the isolated posts were easily disposed of by our 6 pounder guns. After penetrating the two front lines, with hindsight the tanks should have halted on the south side of Welsh Ridge, but our sights were on Cambrai. We went rather blindly with the unhappy result that quite a lot of our tanks received direct hits from a German artillery battery laying in the valley below. We were unlucky to receive two hits in as many minuets, the first smashed the left track, leaving the tank exposed when the second hit the broadside…..Badly wounded in my face, I succeeded in escaping the tank and hiding in a shell hole and plastering my face with a field dressing, before fortifying myself with a swig of rum”. After being evacuated to England, he was sent to Sidcup hospital where the wound on his face was treated by the Pioneering plastic surgeon, Sir Harold Gillies, where in Gillies mentions him by name in his biography, Gillies, surgeon extraordinary: “Captain J K Wilson, now of St George Street, Hannover Square, London, was the first casualty to reach Sidcup after the great Tank Corps assault on Cambrai in November 1917”. In Wilson’s later writings, he forever held Harold Gillies and his work in the highest regard. During the Second World War, Wilson served as a Platoon commander in the Hampstead Home Guard, and his day job entailed working at Albemarle Street premises of John Morgan, bespoke tailors, supplying uniforms to officers.

1981 Moto Guzzi Le Mans Mk II, 950 cc (see text). Registration number UNM 755M. Frame number 23226. Engine number 82726. The Le Mans 850 café racer was first shown at the Milan motorcycle show in November 1975 and sales began in 1976. Like the 750S and the 750 S3, the Le Mans 850 was developed from the 53 hp V7 Sport model of 1971, but power was increased to 71 hp, giving a top speed of 130 mph. Compared to its roadster sibling, the T3, the Le Mans had higher-compression domed pistons, larger engine valves, and Dell'Orto 36 mm pumper carbs with filterless velocity stacks with clip-on handlebars and a bikini nose fairing. The Mark II (1978 - 1981) was similar to the Mark I, but the small 'bikini" fairing became a larger half-fairing incorporating indicators. The fairing had been tested in Moto Guzzi's wind tunnel (which had been used to test race bike fairings in the 1950s). The new fairing had a rectangular headlight, rather than the earlier round item. Cylinder bores were coated with Moto Guzzi's patented "Nikasil". Front suspension became air-assisted. The brake calipers on the front wheel, previously mounted on the front, were now mounted behind the forks. A new dual seat could now carry a pillion. Further changes included a revised instrument cluster derived from the 1000 cc SP. Brakes were linked, with the handlebar lever operating the front right caliper and the foot brake operating both the front left and rear caliper. Described by Bike magazine as 'the sleekest, horniest thing you've ever seen on two wheels', the Le Mans looked like it was doing 100mph while stationary and on the open road delivered 130mph-plus performance. Without doubt one of the definitive superbikes of the 1970s and today highly collectible. UNM was first registered on the 31st March 1981 and in long term ownership from the 26th February 1982 with David Kinsella of Runcorn until our vendor bought it in February 1996. When he purchased it the fairing had been replaced by a twin headlight version (original type included in the spares); over the years in his ownership it has been well maintained and in the early 2000's the engine was upgraded to 950 cc from the original 850 cc (original barrels are included in the spares), K & N air filters were fitted (original stacks are in the spares), Jota bars replaced the clip ons for comfort (original bars are in the spares), the frame was powder coated and the body work resprayed in green over red. In 2011 a new clutch was fitted. The extensive MOT history confirms the current mileage of some 35,000 and a new MOT will be with it for the auction. On a SORN since 2016, it is sold with the V5C, V5, original owner's manual, new MOT, old MOT's, large history/receipt folder, rear carrier and a quantity of spares including spare pipes, the old barrels and a luggage rack.
