The Milton shield of Leonard Morel-Ladeuil dating: third quarter of the 19th Century provenance: England Of oval shape, made in "Electroforming" (a very revolutionary technique for that period), made of silver-plated copper, partially gilt, with high-and bas-relieved decorations, consisting in four, riveted parts. Signed "Morel Ladeuil Fecit 1866" on the left, Elkington & Co." on the right and "Department of Science and Art. Elkington" at the back, inside a medal. Provided with the monogram "VR" under crown at the center. Leonard Morel-Ladeuil depicted the shield with scenes of the Epic poem "Paradise Lost", written by the famous, English writer John Milton (1608-1674). The central part shows Archangel Raphael telling Adam and Eve about the "Paradise War", starting from the rebellion of Archangel Lucifer to his expulsion from the Paradise by Archangel Michael. The original shield was made by Leonard Morel-Ladeuil (1815-1888) in 1866 for the Exposition Univeselle of 1867 in Paris. From 1859, the famous artist worked for Elkington & Co. and the factory asked him a special work to launch is mass products, especially cutlery and tea tools. Leonard Morel-Ladeuil did his apprenticeship with Antoine Vechte (1800-1868), worked on the shield from 1864 to 1866 and was awarded not only with the gold medal during the Exposition in 1867, but also with a great, general success; the Art Journal declared that his shield was the best object exhibited in that year. The Victoria and Albert Museum bought the shield for 2000 Francs, an unbelievably high sum. Samples like this one are kept in very important museums, such as the Met Museum in New York and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. dimensions: dimensions 65 x 85.5 cm.

WORLD WAR TWO BATTLE OF MONTE CAMINO MILITARY MEDAL, Immediate Award, 2615780 L'CPL J EDWARDS G DS London Gazette 23 March 1944. Guardsman Joseph Edwards, 6th Battalion Grenadier Guards was recommended for the Distinguished Conduct Medal but was instead decorated with the Military Medal. The recommendation, which when granted was n signed by Field Marshall Earl Alexander (then C-I-C 15th Army Group) reads: "This Section Commander found himself under H.G. fire from five different directions at once. By his excellent control of the section two of these were rapidly silenced but three of his men were hit. Under heavy fire from the remaining H.G.s he went to their aid and by his immediate attention was responsible for saving the lives of two. These he subsequently helped down the hill and returned bringing with him on his own initiative reinforcements. Later on the same day while his Section was held down to the ground with fire he found his men running short of ammunition. In spite of being wounded himself he crawled round four section posts collecting ammunition from casualties and delivering it to his men before consenting to go back and get his own wound dressed. His great leadership, gallantry and outstanding courage were undoubtedly the cause of his men remaining in an extremely difficult position."
