Bibles - Polyglot: Biblia sacra polyglotta, 1657 vols 1,2 and 4, edited by Brian Walton, three plans of Solomon's Temple and a double-page map of Jerusalem engraved by Wenceslaus Hollar Provenance: Kings College London stamp "this was the most accurate and best-equipped of the great polyglots" (Darlow & Moule). The printing of the work began in 1653, two presses being kept employed, and between 1654 and 1657 all six volumes appeared. Nine languages are represented in the work (including Persian and Ethiopic which had not been included in the three earlier great Polyglots), although no single book of the Bible appears in more than eight versions. "The polyglot Bible was regarded at the time of its appearance as a monument to the intellectual capacity of an English nation previously eclipsed by some of its European brethren. It was also a successful commercial speculation. Though not the first book printed by subscription in England it was one of the earliest and most ambitious" (DNB).

Lance Corporal Coult has been employed as a Team Commander in the 1st Battalion The Royal Irish Regiment throughout his Iraq tour. He was a member of the UK Protection Force based in Baghdad, providing security for and escorting the Senior British Military Representatives - Iraq and Senior UK Service personnel. At the time of his tour, Baghdad was the scene for very numerous lethal insurgent attacks against Coalition Forces on a daily basis. On the 6th November 2005 Lance Corporal Coult was a member of an escort task, travelling along Route IRISH form Baghdad International Airport to the Green Zone, assessed to be the most dangerous road in the world. The task consisted of 3 Snatch Land Rovers providing protection for 2 heavy logistic vehicles. Lance Corporal Coult was top cover sentry in the rear vehicle, a role he was conducting for the first time. Approaching Check Point 540 the lead Snatch stopped due to a suspicious vehicle parked at the road side. With a specific and substantial threat form suicide vehicle bomb explosive devices, the top cover sentries in the lead Snatch tried to move the suspicious vehicle, but instead it moved towards the convoy. With a clear and unambiguous immediate threat to life, three warning shots were fired. Despite this activity Lance Cpl Coult steadfastly observed his arcs, not being drawn to the activity at the front of the convoy. With all attention focussed to the front, 3 gunmen opened fire from a flank with extensive automatic gunfire aimed at the stationary vehicles. Lance Cpl Coult immediately realised the complex and dual nature of this lethal ambush. He scanned his arcs and quickly identified the gunmen. Amidst considerable incoming small arms fire, with tracer striking the ground beside the logistic vehicles, he calmly controlled the other top cover sentries, gave precise target information over his personal radio, returned fire and controlled the movement of his vehicle. His accurate and effective fire suppressed the gunmen and enabled the 2 logistic vehicles to extract from the killing zone, thereby undoubtedly saving the lives of the logistic vehicle crews. Lance Corporal Coult’s Snatch remained in the killing zone covering the extraction of the other vehicles, one of which stalled. He ordered his vehicle to be driven alongside the stalled vehicle attracting considerable additional incoming fire. This selfless act saved the stalled vehicle from being immobilised and the crew from becoming casualties. Throughout this complex and well prepared insurgent ambush, Lance Cpl Coult returned proportional, justified and accurate fire, remaining totally focussed, and acted in a considerable, professional and courageous manner. Lance Corporal Coult’s actions undoubtedly save the lives of the logistic soldiers. On his first day as top cover in Baghdad, he showed outstanding judgement, bravery and restraint in returning fire against the enemy. His life saving actions, personal and tactical control, with total disregard to his own safety, are an indictment of the highest qualities of a British JNCO in the face of the enemy and are richly deserving of official recognition'. An excellent lot worthy of inspection.
