Both bars are later tailor's copies, otherwise very fine to good very fine. (Lot)Footnotes:D.S.O. London Gazette 17.7.1945.Since being recommended for a bar to the Distinguished Flying Cross, this officer has taken part in many operational missions over enemy territory, in the course of which he participated in the destruction of eight enemy aircraft. In June 1943, whist supporting an attack on Cologne, his aircraft was damaged, the port engine being set on fire by enemy fighters. By his skill as a Navigator, Squadron Leader Gregory enabled his pilot to avoid the attacks of the enemy aircraft and assisted him during the return flight. On another occasion, he and his pilot engaged two enemy fighters in a combat which lasted 25 minutes, destroying one of the enemy. In May 1944 Squadron Leader Gregory assisted his pilot to destroy a Focke Wulf 190 while returning from a sortie against Aalborg. Shortly afterwards, the aircraft was severely damaged by a Messerchmitt 109. With their petrol draining rapidly from the damaged tanks, they attempted to fly the aircraft to base, but were forced down on the North Sea and were picked up after 30 minutes by a Naval vessel. For the past seven months, this officer has fulfilled his duties of Station Navigation Officer, in which capacity his experience and advice have been most valuable.D.F.C. London Gazette 4.8.1942.This officer has taken part in the destruction of six enemy aircraft at night. He has shown great skill and devotion to duty.Bar to the D.F.C. London Gazette 16.7.1943.As observer, this officer has completed much operational flying and, by his outstanding ability, has proved himself to be a most valuable member of aircraft crew. By his personal example, tuition and zeal, Flight Lieutenant Gregory has contributed materially to the high standard of efficiency of the observers of his squadron. Since being awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross he has taken part in many sorties and has contributed to the destruction of at least 4 enemy aircraft.D.F.M. London Gazette 17.10.1941.In August 1940, Flight Sergeant Gregory whilst flying in a Blenheim with the late Pilot Officer Rhodes on a night patrol, intercepted a Heinkel 111 which Rhodes over-shot and Gregory, with great coolness, gave the enemy aircraft a long burst from the beam gun with a single Vickers gas-operated gun, destroying the enemy aircraft. Again, in July, 1941, by quick and accurate work on the A.I., he enabled Flt.Lt.J.R.D.Braham, D.F.C., to destroy a Junkers 88 at 6,000 feet in the Thames Estuary and again on 12th September, 1941, although his pilot was apparently overtaking an enemy aircraft very rapidly, by clear and precise instructions, he enabled his pilot to destroy yet another enemy aircraft. Flight Sergeant Gregory has been in the Squadron since 19th May 1940, during which time he has always shown great keenness to contact the enemy and has been an inspiration to the other operators. I therefore most strongly recommend him for the award of the Distinguished Flying Medal.Air Efficiency Award London Gazette 21.3.1946.The lot additionally comprises: The framed warrant for the Distinguished Service Order; two RAF log books one of which is his official one whilst the second is a mirror of the first but with further information and 'extra flights' throughout his flying career; Warrant for promotion to Flight Lieutenant dated 16th February 1949; Caterpillar club badge engraved on reverse (Sgt W.J.Gregory); Caterpillar Club badge engraved on reverse (Sgt W.Gregory Pres by Irvin Co); Silk handkerchief; Caterpillar club membership card; Goldfish club membership card; Bullet marked cigarette case engraved internally (W.J.G.) this was one of his father's most treasured possessions where fighting over Dunkirk this case no doubt saved his life (newspaper article states); two silver plated dishes given to him by the Officers and NCO's of 29 Squadron on the occasion of his marriage; R.A.F. shields for 29, 141 and 926 Squadrons; a photograph frame made from the tip of a pre WW2 aeroplane with photograph of him in uniform; a letter relating to his visit to Buckingham Palace dated 20th November 1942; a letter relating to his D.S.O. dated 19th September 1946; A signed Guildhall reception booklet dated 22nd July 1980 with signatures including Bob Stanford-Tuck, James 'Ginger' Lacey, John Cunningham; An R.A.F.

This booklet has a number of black and white photographs of the facility during WW1.Mrs Amy Anderson became the Commandant of Red Cross Detachment No. 56 in Surrey Division before the war. During the war, the family gave up Waverley Abbey the family home to the government for it to become the Waverley Abbey Military Hospital. It opened in September 1914, thus becoming one of the first country houses to be converted into a military hospital. Amy was appointed as Commandant of the hospital, with her daughters becoming nurses: Misses Amy, Elizabeth, Anne and Margaret. Miss Amy went on to work at the Astoria Hospital in Paris in 1916 until the end of the war. Miss Elizabeth was awarded the Royal Red Cross, 2nd class, for her nursing service during the war. The Andersons' son fought in WW1 becoming Second-Lieutenant Rupert Darnley Switheen Anderson and by 1934 he was a Lieutenant-Colonel.The Anderson family saw more than 1,000 wounded soldiers each year that the military hospital was open, seeing around 5,000 soldiers throughout the entirety of the war. They were visited by members of the royal family in 1916, 1917 and 1918.Whilst Amy was Commandant of Waverley Abbey, Rupert fought in and survived the war. He served as a Major in the 5th Queen's Royal West Surrey Regiment and also in the Royal Air Force during the end of the war. He was awarded an O.B.E. in WW1 for his services to the Territorial Army and the Air Force. In January 1918, towards the end of the war, Amy Anderson was also appointed an O.B.E for her help in the upkeep of Waverley Abbey and for her service towards the soldiers that stayed there.In 1919, when the war had ended, Waverley Abbey Hospital was closed. It had been open for 4 and a half years under the care of the Anderson family and to celebrate, they hosted a farewell dinner for the hospital staff.Later that year, Rupert conveyed a part of the Waverley estate to Horace Trimmer, downscaling due to most of his daughters (and his son) marrying and leaving home. By 1931 Amy and Rupert had downscaled even more, expressing in a letter to Lord Farrer of Abinger that 'one cannot afford that kind of amusement' and that they were not 'justified with a large family' any more.Throughout his time in Waverley Abbey, Rupert became integral to the Farnham community. He was the President of the Tilford Institute, Chairman of the managers of the Church of England School, Vicar's warden and he founded Loyal Rupert Anderson Lodge of Oddfellows.Amy Anderson was also at the forefront of town affairs becoming chairwoman of a committee advocating the use of Farnham castle for the Bishop of the Diocese in 1930.Major Rupert Darnley Anderson died on the 23 December 1944, aged 85, from natural causes.
