Scarce Hanoverian Jager Battalion Nr 10 Officers Shako / Helmet Plate, starburst plate with the centre having painted enamel centre, lower two part scroll with battle honours “PENINSULA, WATERLOO, VENTA DEL POZZO”. One of the two loop fittings remains to the helmet plate. The Prussian Hannoversches Jäger-Batallion Nr. 10 was formed in 1866 when Prussia annexed the Kingdom of Hanover and absorbed their army, though their official date of formation was 1803 as the light infantry of the Hanoverian Army. They traced their history further back to service under the British crown, most notably at the Siege of Gibraltar in 1779-83, then later at Venta Del Pozo in 1812 during the Peninsular Campaign and at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. Later as light infantry it had been part of the Hanoverian army that defeated the Prussians at the Battle of Langensalza in 1866. As the new Prussian 10th Jäger Battalion they saw action in the Franco-Prussian War, including the Battles of Mars la Tour and Gravelotte-St. Privat. In 1914 it was garrisoned at Goslar and formed part of the X Army Corps with which it fought during the opening campaign of the First World War on the Western Front. In 1915 they were transferred to the Alpine Corps, seeing action in Italy, Serbia, Romania and again on the Western Front.

Accompanying the set is a photograph of Arthur Coles when he was in the Police force after the war and photocopied paperwork relating to his time in captivity and an account of the night his aircraft crashed. Amongst the paperwork is a photocopied photograph of Coles wearing this battle dress and forage cap during a D-Day celebration near Banbury. Warrant Officer Arthur John Coles served as Signaller in 39th Torpedo Bomber squadron. He was part of a crew which took off from Malta after midnight on 25th February 1943, they were sent to target a convoy of Italian vessels which was heading for Naples from a Tunisian port. He states “I picked up the convoy on my ASV (radar) screen at a position 95 miles from Marettimo Island, off the coast of Sicily. Jimmy Hewetson, a Rhodesian, flew parallel with the convoy at a distance of about a mile, keeping to the dark part of the sky. He turned into attack, sighting the convoy in the moon-path, and chose one of the two merchantmen. Normally we would keep down low and climb to 60 feet to release the torpedo. Suddenly something fundamental went wrong. There was an almighty bang, and a vivid flash of light in front of me, momentary blinding me. We had flown straight into the Tyrrhenian Sea, out torpedo still in the bomb-bay! I probably owed my life to being strapped into my seat and, as was my practice during night attacks, having placed my head against my parachute which, in turn, was pressed up against the radio. As the water began lapping around my feet, I released the seat straps and moved swiftly towards the rear hatch just behind the port wing, and pulled the release catch. The rubber dinghy was stowed in the port wing.” He continues to state that whilst in the water, the aircraft sank very quickly, taking the pilot with it. The escape dinghy was sadly leaking badly and they were luckily able to signal to the Italian ship using their Aircrew whistles. Whilst on the ship, the rescued crew were looked after very well. The Italian captain explained why he had risked being sunk by British Submarines rescuing them, “His brother had been a Captain on an Italian Submarine earlier in the war and had been rescued by the Royal Navy after his submarine had been depth charged and he had been obliged to surface and surrender. Thus the Captain on the torpedo boat felt he had, in honour, a debt to repay. How lucky can one be?” He was originally held in an Italian Prisoner of War holding camp. It was whilst here that he gained a job as a office clerk which got him out of the day to day camp life. When the Italians surrendered to the Allies they were left in the camp with no guards. Many of the prisoners were free to walk out of the camp, although they were ordered to stay put. The camp was soon overtook by the German forces in Italy and the prisoners were moved by cattle truck up through the Brenna Pass into Austria and then onto Germany where he was held at Stalag IVB before being liberated by the Russians on 23rd April 1945.
