* ATTRIBUTED TO WILLIAM MERVYN GLASS RSA PSSA (SCOTTISH 1885 - 1965), IONA SHORE oil on canvas, laid down on board, signed with initials 40cm x 50cm Framed Note: William Mervyn Glass was born in Aberndeenshire in 1885. He studied at Gray's School of Art in Aberdeen and at the Royal Scottish Academy Life School in Edinburgh. He also studied in Paris and Italy. In 1913 he moved to Edinburgh before serving in the War. A painter of coastal scenes, seascapes and landscapes, he was particularly fond of painting Iona, where he would paint alongside Maclauchlan Milne, Cadell and Peploe. Glass refused to teach and committed his time to painting: ' The thing that gets me is that 9/10 ths of the painters in Scotland have to beg for their bread and butter. In their spare time and during holidays they squeeze in enough time to do some real painting'. His work was exhibited at the Royal Academy, Royal Scottish Academy, Royal Glasgow Institute and Aberdeen Artists' Society. He was awarded the Maclaine-Watters bronze medal and Chalmers Jervise prize. Glass often signed his work with his initials 'WMG'.

The Second World War North-West Europe Military Cross group of five medals to Captain Alexander Watt Waddell, The Cameronians: M.C., George VI, reverse dated 1946 and privately engraved 'CAPTAIN A.W. WADDELL. M.C. THE CAMERONIANS.'; 1939-45 Star; France and Germany Star; Defence Medal; War Medal 1939-45; mounted for wearing; together with the case and transmission slip for the M.C., and a corresponding group of mounted miniatures, medals good very fine or better. M.C. London Gazette 24/01/46 'in recognition of gallant and distinguished services in North West Europe' The recipient studied at the Glasgow Academy (1919-28), and according to their Roll of Honour his military service commenced in the Royal Artillery. He was made 2nd Lieutenant from a Cadet 9th August 1941. He joined the 9th Bn Cameronians 22nd July 1944 and was wounded in the ankle on the 30th October. The recommendation for his M.C. continues: In the action in which Capt. Waddell was wounded he refused to leave his platoon until he had seen them on to their objective, consolidated, and administered with food and reserve ammunition, despite having a piece of shrapnel in his ankle and despite being ordered by his company commander to be evacuated to the Regimental Aid Post for treatment. His platoon in this action received severe casualties and Capt Waddell was left with barely two sections during the period of consolidation, and after he had been wounded the platoon area was long subjected to accurate and sustained enemy shell and mortar fire, but Capt Waddell's cheerfulness, leadership and disregard for danger set an example which resulted in the company successfully holding their hard-won ground. On the 15th February, 1945, "D" Company was approaching a FUP preparatory to launching an attack through closely wooded country in the MOYLAND area against considerable numbers of enemy. The line of march was very heavily shelled. Communications had temporarily broken down by both wireless and runner (all wounded) and his company commander ordered Capt Waddell to proceed with his platoon, plus one section of another platoon, into the attack. It was vital for the further commitments of the battalion and the artillery programme that the company gained the support of the artillery over the Start Line. This Capt Waddell did, and although the Start Line was under direct small arms and automatic fire from three directions he succeeded in destroying and capturing three Spandau posts before he was halted through casualties, lack of fire power and personnel. Capt Waddell shewed extreme courage and a very high standard of leadership under the most difficult circumstances. Capt Waddell has shewn himself to be a fearless leader - his unfailing cheerfulness in dangerous situations and his disregard for danger has done much to maintain a high standard of morale in the company. He has at all times shewn courage and leadership of a high order which has been a constant source of inspiration to the men under his command.

ROBERTSON. E.SURR:R.), good very fine or better. M.M. London Gazette: 11/05/17 The recipient entered France 31/08/15, and was discharged to commission (2nd Lieutenant Wiltshire Regiment) 12/11/18. The schedule number for his M.M. is 72,471 which indicates a probable period for his act of March and April 1917*. The battalion diary indicates minor actions during this period in the line at Calonne. The most notable occurrence was during the 13th and 14th of April when, following notification from 72nd Brigade HQ that there was "every reason to believe that the enemy had retired from our front" the battalion sent out "fighting patrols" which successfully occupied the enemy trenches, and was later congratulated by the Division for their competence in carrying this out. *Ref: Williamson

The Shipwrecked Fishermen and Mariners Royal Benevolent Society Medal to Captain M.W. Hall, in silver, double dolphin device on a slide to the ribbon (CAPTAIN M.W. HALL. S.S. "TEESIDER" NOVEMBER 20. 1927.), Elkington & Co., Birmingham 1927, nearly extremely fine. Captain W Hall and Chief Officer G Atkinson of the ss Teessider of Stockton for the rescue of the crew of the schooner Gauntlet of Lancaster. The Gauntlet was caught in very bad weather off Flamborough Head on November 19th, there was a very rough sea running, with a strong southeasterly wind blowing at gale force. Two of her masts were carried away, and as the schooner was leaking badly, distress signals were made in the early morning of November 20th, and these were answered by the Teessider, which stood by from 3am until daylight. Owing to the state of the sea and the strong wind blowing, it was found impossible to man a lifeboat from the Teessider. This vessel, however, was twice manoeuvred close to the Gauntlet, when lines with lifebuoys attached were got on board, but the crew, owing to their long exposure, were unable to secure these lines. After about two hours' manoeuvring, the Teessider was brought into a favourable position to the weather side of the schooner, when a jolly boat attached to a line was drifted down to the Gauntlet. The Master and the three members of the crew were then able to get into this boat, which was hauled back to the Teessider, and the rescued men got safely on board.
