The 1944 submariner's 'Far East' D.S.M. group of seven awarded to Chief Stoker R. J. Phebey, Royal Navy, who had previously been 'mentioned' in 1943 for his services during Eastern Mediterranean war patrols in H.M.S. TaurusTaurus served in the Mediterranean and the Pacific Far East during the Second World War, sinking several Japanese merchant vessels including the Japanese submarine I 34 and later damaging Japanese submarine I 37Phebey had previously served on the mine-laying submarine Rorqual, the first submarine to carry supplies to the beleaguered island of MaltaDistinguished Service Medal, G.VI.R.

London Gazette 25 July 1944, the original citation states:'For daring, endurance and resource in the conduct of hazardous and successful operations in His Majesty's Submarines against the enemy.'M.I.D. London Gazette 19 October 1943.Richard John Phebey was born at Richmond, Surrey on 10 September 1910, the son of Richard and Maud Phebey. Educated at the Vineyard School, Richmond he enlisted in the Royal Navy as a Stoker 2nd class on 5 August 1930 and was posted to the submarine base Dolphin on 13 March 1934. He was mostly shore based at submarine depots until 25 May 1939 when as Stoker Petty Officer he was posted to the mine laying submarine Rorqual.Rorqual - Mission Malta - Magic Carpet RunsSent to the Mediterranean in 1940, Rorqual began laying minefields and attacking enemy shipping. Amongst the shipping vessels lost to mines laid by Rorqual were the Italian merchants Loasso, Celio, Leopardi, and Salpi; the Italian Navy water tankers Verde and Ticino; the Italian pilot vessel F 34 / Rina Croce, the Italian torpedo boats Calipso, Fratelli Cairoli, Generale Antonio Chinotto, Altair and Aldebaran; the Italian auxiliary submarine chaser AS 99 Zuri, the German troop transport Ankara; the French merchant (in German service), P.L.M. 24; and the French fishing vessel Coligny. The Italian merchants Caffaro, Ischia and the brand-new Italian merchant Carbonello A. were damaged by mines laid by Rorqual. Rorqual was also active in attacking enemy shipping herself, torpedoing and sinking the Italian tanker, Laura Corrado; the Italian submarine Pier Capponi; the Italian merchants Cilicia and Monstella; the German tanker Wilhemsburg and the French merchant (in German service) Nantaise. Rorqual's torpedoes also damaged the Italian auxiliary cruiser Piero Foscari, unsuccessfully attacked an Italian submarine and the Italian merchant Securitas and sunk two Greek sailing vessels with gunfire.In August 1940 she attacked an Italian convoy, missing the Italian merchants Verace and Doris Ursino with torpedoes. Following this failed attack Rorqual was heavily depth charged by the Italian torpedo boat Generale Achille Papa.In January 1941 Rorqual attacked the tug Ursus and a floating battery mounted on a lighter. The lighter could not be torpedoed, as she was of too shallow draught for the normal depth setting of the torpedoes, and the only other weapon the Rorqual had was her single 4-inch gun. Rorqual surfaced at about 500 yards range. Her opening attack hit the Ursus and damaged the battery. Heavy fire from the damaged tug forced Rorqual to shift her fire from the battery and engage the Ursus again, forcing her crew to abandon her. Though badly damaged, the floating battery opened fire and forced the Rorqual to dive. She then fired a torpedo set to run on the surface, only to find that the torpedo developed a gyro failure and returned on its own tracks. Rorqual had to dive deep to avoid it. When last seen, the Ursus was sinking and the battery was on fire. The battery however did not sink and was later towed to Dubrovnik. Due to her large size and space within the mine casing, Rorqual was well suited to carrying stores and in June 1941, after loading at Alexandria, became the first submarine to carry supplies to the beleaguered island of Malta. In all she performed, at considerable risk to the submarine, 5 storing runs to Malta in 1941 from Alexandria and in 1942 from Beirut. These were known as "magic carpet runs".Phebey remaining in 'the silent service' was next posted to the T Class submarine Taurus (P 339) on 9 June 1942 shortly before her official launch on 27 June 1942.Taurus - an eventful period of serviceShe served in the Mediterranean and the Pacific Far East during the Second World War. Whilst serving in the Mediterranean, she sank the small French merchant Clairette, the Spanish merchant Bartolo, the Italian merchant Derna, the French tug Ghrib and two barges, the Portuguese Santa Irene, the small Italian tanker Alcione C., the Italian sailing vessel Luigi, twenty-eight Greek sailing vessels, and the small Greek ship Romano. She also damaged a further two sailing ships and the Greek merchant Konstantinos Louloudis. It was during this period off the Greek coast she had the unusual distinction of engaging a Bulgarian cavalry unit while bombarding a small port. Phebey received a 'Mention' for his service aboard her during her Eastern Mediterranean war patrols.Taurus transferred to the Far East on 9 September 1943 where she sank the Japanese submarine I 34 10 miles off Penang Island. On 11 January 1944 she joined the 14th Submarine Flotilla to operate against the Japanese in the Malacca Straits and west coast of Thailand where she sank two Japanese tugboats, a barge and the Japanese salvage vessel Hokuan I-Go. She also laid a number of mines, which damaged the Japanese submarine I-37 and sank the Japanese transport ship Kasumi Maru. Phebey was richly rewarded with the D.S.M. for the period January to April 1944 which was presented by the King on 17 October 1944.On 10 August 1945 he was awarded his Long Service and Good Conduct Medal. In an email which accompanies the group, Phebey's son confirms that his father lost his Long Service and Good Conduct Medal following a motorbike accident in 1956.Subsequent careerThe war over, Phebey undertook instructor roles within the service initially with Elfin and later several spells on Trenchant being discharged on 24 July 1956. Leaving the Navy Phebey worked initially for Johnson & Johnson at Hilsea before becoming a Royal Park warden at Richmond Park. His last role was as a boiler man at Stowe school.Phebey died at Aylesbury in November 1988; sold together with an extensive archive of copied research including his copied service papers, copy patrol reports for Taurus, 6 November 1943 to 27 April 1944 and the book 'Dark Seas Above' by J.F. Gibson.…

The 1940 Dunkirk M.C. group of four awarded to Major L. A. F. P. Gould-Marks, Royal Army Service Corps, late Royal Tank RegimentMilitary Cross, G.VI.R., the reverse officially dated '1940' and additionally inscribed 'Capt. L. A. F. P. Gould-Marks. Dunkirk'; 1939-45 Star; Defence and War Medals 1939-45, mounted as worn by Spink & Son, 5 King Street, London, good very fine (4)M.C. London Gazette 20 December 1940, the original recommendation states:'When most of the Divisional R.A.S.C. had embarked this officer organised his ammunition section as the Divisional R.A.S.C. and he fed the 1st Division and several other divisions from 29th May to 2nd June. This well nigh on impossible task was carried out under continuous air bombardment and shell fire. It was intirely due to his initiative, re-sourcefulness and devotion to duty that all ranks of the Division received rations. His example was worthy of the best traditions of the R.A.S.C..'Langton Alfred Francis Gould-Marks was born in June 1910 at Streatham, London and had been commissioned into the Royal Army Service Corps from the Supplementary Reserve of Officers, Royal Tank Regiment in June 1939. Further detail into his award is extracted from 1 Div A+Q records (TNA WO167/192 refers), written at Hondschoote:'D.A.Q. found Captain Marks, R.A.S.C., who still had his section of lorries intact, but was short of a few drivers. Four volunteers were obtained from 2 Hampshires and so there were drivers for all the vehicles. Captain Marks was then told to scavenge everywhere and collect all the supplies he could find and establish a Supply Depot at Bray Dunes.Captain Marks with his loyal band of NCO's and drivers performed the impossible. He found supplies here, there and everywhere and brought them all into Bray Dunes. A half-unloaded Belgian supply train, a beached lighter, discarded lorries all along the front, were all searched and supplies of every description poured into the little supply depot. About four divisions passed through Bray Dunes during the next four days, and they were all given some rations, all which time Captain Marks continued to supply 1 Division and all troops under command. Four lorry loads of rum also proved invaluable.'An active member of the film industry, he was involved in producing the Central Office of Information short film Britain Can Make it, No. 14, which had Geoffrey Sumner starring. His three Campaign Medals were issued to him in August 1948, before going out to Sydney with his wife in May 1949 to produce more titles and died in Camden, London in October 1997; sold together with photocopies of the Invitation to Investiture, dated 20 August 1940, which was retained by the family upon the original sale of these Medals.…

Attributed to Luis de Texeda (or Detegeda) (New Spain, Mexico 17th century).                “Our Lady of Guadalupe”.Oil on canvas. 178 x 107,5 cm.Luis de Texeda was an indigenous painter active in New Spain during the 17th century. According to historical references, Texeda was known as “the Indian who had the gift” to portray Our Lady of Guadalupe with great devotion and technical precision.Among the Guadalupes signed by Texeda, there is one in the National Museum of History in Chapultepec, dated 1669 and another in the former convent in Santo Desierto de Tenancingo, Mexico, dated 1682.The painting we present here reflects the novo-Hispanic baroque style, characterized by its dramatism and ornamental richness. Luis de Texeda used a painting technique consisting of thick and carefully worked layers, which allowed him to achieve a polished finish and great luminosity. Comparing this work with other depictions of Our Lady of Guadalupe from the same period, such as those made by Juan Correa, there is a difference in the treatment of colors and facial expression. While Correa preferred lighter tones and a more translucent palette, Texeda opted for darker tones and a greater pictorial density, which endowed his paintings with a unique air of solemnity.This distinction is key to understanding Texeda's relevance as a master of Guadalupan art, whose work not only fulfilled a devotional function, but also reaffirmed the artistic skill of indigenous painters in New Spain.The composition presents the Virgin Mary surrounded by a radiant mandorla of golden hues, symbolizing her divinity and immaculate purity. The use of a palette rich in colors such as deep blue, pearly white and gold emphasizes her celestial character. The proportion of the figure follows the traditional canons for Our Lady of Guadalupe, with a serene, stylized face and a “snowy wheat” tone that relates to the descriptions of the original model. The arrangement of the drapery and the ornamental details in the clothing, especially the brocade, denote meticulous technique and a clear intention to imitate the supernatural qualities also attributed to the original.During the 17th century, the Virgin of Guadalupe was consolidated as a symbol of identity in New Spain, associated both with evangelization and with the unification of indigenous and Creole communities under a shared religious imaginary. In this context, indigenous painters such as Luis de Texeda became renowned for their ability to replicate this sacred image with a level of detail considered miraculous. The worship of Our Lady of Guadalupe spread internationally, with copies spreading to places as far away as Genoa, where its impact was even manifested in historical events such as the protection of the Doria palace with was attributed the Virgin during the French bombardment of 1684.The painting faithfully follows the model established by the original, which is painted on a cloak, incorporating elements such as the crescent moon at her feet and the angel bearing her, representing victory over sin and the alliance between heaven and earth. The solar mandorla alludes to the woman of the Apocalypse, while the use of blue and gold connects with the regal and heavenly attributes of the Virgin. Texeda's indigenous character adds a level of cultural syncretism, in which Catholic elements merge with local artistic sensibilities, reinforcing his connection to indigenous communities.Reference Bibliography:- Gruzinski, Serge.
