*The 2-Clasp N.G.S. awarded to Rear-Admiral John Skekel, who served as Lieutenant aboard H.M.S. Courageux at the reduction of St. Lucia, was wounded in action aboard H.M.S. Hero during Sir Richard Strachan’s action the 4th of November 1805, and ‘highly distinguished himself’ whilst in command of one of H.M.S. Bellerophon’s small boats during the cutting out of Russian gunboats off Percola Point on 7 July 1809. He was later shipwrecked off St. Edward’s Island whilst Captain of H.M.S. Bold in September 1813 comprising: Naval General Service, 1793-1840, 2 clasps, 4 Novr. 1805, 7 July Boat Service 1809 (John Shekel Lieut.), with reverse brooch pin to ribbon, and modern case, once polished, lightly toned, extremely fine, and a scarce combination of clasps. Ex Glendining, June 1952, lot 9. Rear-Admiral John Skekel (note spelling) was born 29 March 1778, at Mortlach, co. Banff, Scotland, the son of John Skekel and Katherine Skekel (née Wilkie). Whilst genealogical information is relatively scant concerning his family, two men, by the names of Alexander Skakel/Skekel and John Skekel undertook studies at the King’s College Aberdeen, and both were from Banffshire. The former became an educator of great importance in Montreal, Canada, and may be a direct relation (perhaps his brother). John Skekel joined the Royal Navy on 10 December 1795, as an Able Seaman on board the Thisbe (28) under Capt. John Oakes Hardy, with whom he served in various ships until the end of 1802, at Halifax and on the Home station as Midshipman and Master’s Mate. On the breaking out of war in 1803 he sailed with Captain John Oakes Hardy in the Courageux (74), for the West Indies, where, in June of the same year, he served as Acting Lieutenant at the reduction of the island of St. Lucia. Being confirmed as Lieutenant aboard Pandora 44 on 21 Feb. 1804, under the command of Captain John Nash, he was present during the expedition against Surinam and took part in the operations which resulted in the surrender of the colony, serving in the flotilla located on the Commewyne River. O Byrne’s ‘Naval Biographical Dictionary’ also records that he had previously been engaged in the boats which prevented supplies from being thrown into Martinique; and had been, 13 March, present at the cutting out of the Privateer Mosambique of 10 18-pounder carronades close to Pearl Rock. Once the Pandora was paid off in February 1805, Lieutenant Skekel was transferred to H.M.S. Hero (74) under the command of Captain Hon. Alan Hyde Gardner, where he would see his first major actions. He fought in Sir Robert Calder’s action against the combined French and Spanish Fleets on 22 July 1805 - the Battle of Cape Finisterre, and was wounded in action whilst assisting in the capture of 4 French ships of the line on 4 November 1805 – sometimes called The Battle of Cape Ortegal or ‘Sir Richard Strachan’s Action’. Here, a squadron of French ships which had escaped at Trafalgar were successfully discovered, chased down and battered into submission. Skekel’s ship H.M.S. Hero played the major part in this action, and took just shy of half of the British casualties, with 10 killed and 51 wounded (from the total of 24 killed and 111 wounded). Lieutenant Skekel was wounded in the process, and was duly mentioned in the London Gazette despatch of 8 October 1805). For his wounds, he received a donation from the Patriotic Society. He also was present on 13 March 1806 at the capture of the French ship Marengo(80), the Flagship of Rear-Admiral Linois, and at the subsequent capture of the Frigate Belle Poule (40) on 23 May 1807. After a year’s service aboard the Ville de Paris (110), he joined HM.S. Bellerophon (74) on 15 July 1808, Flagship of Admiral Lord Gardner in the Channel, and soon after commanded by Captain Samuel Warren as a private ship on the Baltic station. It was here that he was placed in command of one of Bellerophon’s boats and ‘highly distinguished himself in a most brilliant and successful attack upon a Russian flotilla’ (John Marshall’s ‘Royal Naval Biography’ refers), for which he was mentioned in the subsequent despatch (London Gazette 8 July 1809). The squadron of small boats attacked a fortified squadron of 8 Russian gunboats off Percola Point, 7 July, 1809, which were situated between two large rock outcrops. The British boats attacked directly, without firing, waiting until they were able to reach the enemy boats before boarding and storming the vessels ‘sword in hand’. Six gunboats were carried, one was sunk, and one escaped, but 12 supply craft and a number of Russian prisoners were taken. Soon afterwards, and probably as a result of his gallant conduct at Percola Point, he was promoted to Acting Commander and placed in charge of the Fly sloop (16) on 25 June 1811 from which vessel he exchanged soon afterwards into the Gluckstadt (18) as full Lieutenant on 1 September 1811. Whilst aboard the Gluckstadt a violent storm nearly sunk the ship, but narrowly escaped once Skekel took the decision to part with all the ship’s guns. Commander Skekel had another encounter with severe weather aboard his next command – the Bold (14) on the North America Station, which was this time wrecked during a strong north-east gale off the North end of Prince Edward’s Island whilst proceeding with the convoy up the St Lawrence on 27 September 1813. He attained the Post-rank of Captain 27 May, 1825; and accepted Retirement on 1 October 1846. Captain Skekel married in July, 1835, Louisa Madalina Hughes, of York Street, Portman Square, London, and was given the rank of Rear-Admiral in his retirement. He later died on 20 June 1854 at his home in Kensington, London. The original N.G.S. medal roll held at the National Archives shows the recipient’s signature in the remarks column and a date of ‘19/2/49’ suggesting the date of issue of his medal. Only 8 officer’s medals were awarded for the action of 4 November 1805, and just 4 for 7 July Boat Service 1809.

*The WWI C.M.G. O.B.E. Group of 4 awarded to Captain John Wallace Ord Davidson, Chinese Labour Corps, who first went to China as a Student Interpreter at Canton, and after WWI service resumed his Foreign Office Career, later attaining the position of Consul-General in Shanghai in 1938, comprising: The Most Distinguished Order of St Michael and St George, Companion’s (C.M.G.) neck badge, by Garrard, in silver-gilt and enamels, with remnants of original case of issue; The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, Civil Division, Officer’s breast badge in silver-gilt; British War and Victory Medals (Capt. J. W. O. Davidson); Small chip to reverse enamel of first, the second well-polished with a few contact marks, small bruise to last, generally good very fine (4). C.M.G.: London Gazette: 23 June 1936 (H.M. Consul in China); O.B.E.: London Gazette: 3 July 1926 (Acting British Consul at Kiu Kang). John Wallace Ord Davidson was born in Shanghai, China in 1889, the son of George Greenshields Davidson, a Marine Engineer (born 1854 in Kirkinner), and Jane Egan Ord (born 1863 in Tynemouth). His parents had married in Shanghai, where both he and his elder brother William were born. The two brothers were sent to be educated as ‘boarders’ at Dumfries Academy, and then at Christ’s Hospital School in London, where John is shown as a 12-year old at the time of the 1901 census. Leaving school in July 1906, he applied as a Student Interpreter to join the Foreign Office Consular Service in China in July 1909, where he was one of 5 applicants accepted – coming in second place (by only a single mark), and joining in September that year. After the outbreak of war in late 1914 his brother William joined up as a Lance Corporal in the 1/14th (London Scottish) Battalion, London Regiment, but was tragically killed in action on 15 June 1915 in France. Two years later, it was logical that given his language skills and experience in China, John was made a Temporary Captain in the Chinese Labour Corps on 13 June 1917, and soon after served in France on the Western Front. The Chinese Labour Corps’ 96,000 volunteers (and a further 30,000 working for the French) made a vast and often misunderstood contribution to work unloading ships and trains, digging trenches, making roads and also repairing British tanks on the Western Front – becoming known as ‘the forgotten of the forgotten’. Often based close to the front lines, many were shot at or shelled, or gassed during service. Furthermore, they remained for some time after the Armistice on November 1918, continuing with the difficult and highly dangerous work of clearing live ordnance and exhuming bodies to be reburied elsewhere. Many of these men died en route from China, and a further 2,000 are themselves buried in Commonwealth War Graves – however some claim that as many as 20,000 died in total. Returning to the Consular Service in China after the war, he was made Vice-Consul in China on 1 December 1925, and was duly appointed as O.B.E. on 5 June 1926. He was promoted to Vice Consul 1st Grade on 14 December 1928, and then as full Consul on 25 January 1931. As part of his role there he helped to promote British trade and access to the Chinese market, and letters of appreciation from the firms ‘Butterfield & Swire’ and ‘Jardine Matheson and Company’ concerning the resumption of British shipping in Wanhsien after an exclusion incident in 1926 show that he had some success It would appear from these letters (offered herewith) that he played an important role at Chunking, and that subsequently General Chiang Kai Shek moved on the exclusion. He was made C.M.G. on 22 June 1936, and reached the position of Consul-General on 17 December 1938. During WW2 he was also behind the organisation of an ‘Old English Fair’ at the consulate in Hankow, which raised over £161 for the Lord Mayor’s National Air Raid Distress Fund in May 1941. He reached the ‘Sixth Grade’ in the Foreign Office in May 1947, but appears not to have served further. He died in 1973 in Holsworthy, Devon. Offered with matching set of four miniature awards, eight original warrants or award documents, higher education certificates, two photos relating to his brother, and a quantity of other related letters and documentation.

*A WW2 D-Day Interest Group of 4 attributed to Flying Officer Edward Henry Donne, No. 266 (Rhodesia) Squadron, Royal Air Force, who having bailed out successfully from his damaged ‘Typhoon’ over Caen on ‘D-Day’ - 6th June 1944, returned to action just 48 hours later. He was killed in action when his aircraft was hit by flak over Lingen on 1 April 1945, comprising: 1939-45 Star; Air Crew Europe Star, with clasp ‘France and Germany’; Defence and War Medals, 1939-1945, all four medals privately engraved (F/O E. H. Donne 266 Rhod. Sqdn., R.A.F.); Group court-mounted, good extremely fine (4) Ex A.A. Upfill-Brown collection. DNW, 25 June 2008, lot 1093. Edward Henry Donne was born in Wimbledon, London on 27 August 1923, being educated at Prince Edward School, Salisbury, Rhodesia. Here he served in the Prince Edward School Cadets as an N.C.O. and first class shot. Having worked previously as a Clerk in the Native Development Department, and based at Umtali, he first was attested for service with the R.A.F. as an A.C. 2, pilot under training in the Royal Air Force on 29 January 1942. Completing his training in Rhodesia, he proceeded overseas to the U.K. in March 1943, joining No. 266 (Rhodesia) Squadron, a Typhoon unit, as a Sergeant Pilot, in January of the following year. Compelled to take to his parachute five miles north-west of Caen on D-Day, he reported back to his unit 48 hours later. He was soon after commissioned, and ‘Ted’ Donne remained actively employed on numerous sorties with No. 266 until he was reported missing on 1 April 1944. His death was subsequently confirmed when his Typhoon - downed by flak in the Lingen area during armed reconnaissance – was discovered as a wreckage at Lonneker, near Enschede, Holland, and his remains interred in the local cemetery. His mother was sent his campaign medals in August 1949. This lot offered with a file of related research, including a photocopied photograph of 266 Squadron personnel, including Donne, and an original but later Rhodesian Government condolence / transmission slip, and an original Record of Service supplied by the H.Q. of the Rhodesian Air Force in 1979.

Under glass. One large foxing spot in the second lot of men.The Tatler and Bystander, 16 June 1943, "Men of the 610 Squadron - Portraits by Olive Snell", illlus. p.341610 SquadronThe present portrait studies were probably initiated towards the end of February, 1943 while the Squadron was based at Westhampnett, a satellite airfield to the main base at Tangmere. The pilots depicted - several referred to by their nicknames - are as follows:First PaintingCharlie: Dubbed "Polish Charlie", most probably Sgt. Karol Michalkiewicz, born 1921, joined 610 Squadron on 21 November 1941 from 316 (The City of Warsaw Polish Squadron) . Left 610 on 3 April 1943. No information about his subsequent service but it seems that he stayed in Britain after the War and died in Birmingham on 27 September 1988.Stewie: P/O Andrew Stewart Barrie was educated at Harrow, studied law and trained in Canada. Shot down and killed on 22 June 1943 aged 25 whilst on a "Ramrod" escorting mission over Rotterdam. Fighter Pilots intensely disliked Ramrod duties which involved escorting bombers to ground level targets in daylight hours at slow speed . He is buried in the Hook of Holland General Cemetery.Doug: F/Lt. Douglas Owen Collinge, DFC. On his second appointment to 610 Squadron he became one of two Flight Commanders to his Commanding Officer Johnnie Johnson. Prior to co-joining 610 on 4 September 1942 he had been recommended for the DFC and received his medal from the King at Buckingham Palace on 20 November 1942. Shot down and killed in Cayeux on 21 April 1943.Feathers: Squadron Leader W A Laurie, DFC. A Liverpudlian, he joined 610 on 8 September 1942 and became one of the Flight Commanders. Succeeded Johnnie Johnson as Commanding Officer of 610 from March 1943 until January 1944. He retired from the RAF in 1961.Johnnie: Squadron Leader James Edgar "Johnnie" Johnson , DFC and Bar, had been officially posted to 610 Squadron as its Commanding Officer on 13 July 1942 and remained in that position until 19 March 1943, when, concurrently being promoted to Wing Commander, he left to take command of the Canadian wing comprising 403 and 416 Squadrons at Kenley.During his eight months as 610's Commanding Officer there were innumerable changes to the pilot personnel in the squadron for various reasons, not least numerous casualties. His time at 610 was a difficult one for the squadron, particularly because the Mk V Spitfires with which they were equipped were no match for the German Focke-Wolf Fw B190 fighters which were very formidable machines. 610 was also heavily involved in the Dieppe raid on 19 August 1942 which was a disaster for the ground forces and not much less dire for all of the squadrons of Fighter Command involved. On that operation Johnson came perilously close to being shot down.Arnt: 2nd Lt. Arnt Hvinden. A Norwegian, who was a Civil pilot before the War and who had been awarded the Norwegian King's Medalie for gallantry during operations in Norway. Born 1917. Instructed in Canada prior to joining 610 Squadron on 20 January 1943 and posted elsewhere (by then a Captain) 12 September 1943. Died 1987.South: P/O Southwell C Creagh, Australian, Joined 610 on 3 April 1942 and was the squadron's "Eye" who could spot German fighters before the other pilots. Shot down over the sea, 19 August 1942. Rescued and returned to 610. In early September 1942 he was credited, jointly with Sgt. Greggory, with shooting down the first Messerschmitt Me 210 to be downed over mainland England.  Gerry: Lt. Gerry Volkhersz, Royal Netherlands Naval Air Service. Joined 610 February 1943, left March 1943 to join the Fleet Air Arm. Living in Germiston, South Africa, in 1987. Died 1994.Sammy: F/O George Samuel Malton, a Canadian and one of the Squadron's youngest pilots. Joined 610 26 August 1942. Shot down and killed 28 March 1943 while escorting American bombers near Fecamp. Ironically, he should not even have been flying on that day as he was still on sick leave with a broken jaw following a fight in the Regent Palace Hotel, London, with American servicemen.Second PaintingMike: Sgt. H Dallow had been in the Durham Light Infantry during the retreat from Dunkirk and subsequently transferred to the RAF. Nothing is known about this pilot's subsequent service or life.Reg: F/O Pearson, a former rear-gunner in Coastal Command, who saw action at Dunkirk and in the Far East before training as a pilot, and then became an instructor. Nothing is known about this pilot's subsequent service or life.Dave: P/O Alan Hubert Davidson was in the Buffs before transferring to the RAF. Joined 610 from 521 Squadron on 29 January 1943 and posted elsewhere on 5 May 1943. Born Putney in 1917.Doris: F/Lt. Peter Pound, a fighter pilot in Libya early in the War, was wounded and joined 610 on 19 February 1943. No more is known about this pilot's subsequent service or life.Jeff: P/O Jeffrey Martin Cremer. Joined 610 on 23 February 1943. Killed aged 19 on his first operational flight 14 March 1943 when he stalled his Spitfire over Bognor and crashed in the sea.Paddy: Probably Sgt. (later F/O) J G A Small, a fiery Irishman from Limerick with a particular penchant for blowing up steam engines. Joined 610 in January 1942. Posted from 610 Squadron to Montrose, Scotland, 19 January 1944 for an Instructor's Course.Hoppy: F/Lt. Colin G Hodgkinson. Joined 610 from 131 Squadron on 20 January 1943, having previously been in the Fleet Air Arm. He had lost both legs at the age of 19 in a Fleet Air Arm flying accident but, inspired by Douglas Bader, was determined that this would not keep him from flying. Dai:F/Sgt. Dai T Jones was formerly a docker's foreman. Joined 610 on 28 August 1942. Promoted to P/O on 18 May 1943. Transferred from 610 on 19 January 1944.Willie: F/Lt. P I Howard-Williams, DFC, a regular RAF officer who had been in action during the retreat from Dunkirk. Awarded the DFC in November 1941, thereafter joining 610 on 22 February 1943. He was a regular RAF Officer who had been in action at Dunkirk. Transferred in April 1943 but returned to 610 June-November 1943. After the War he remained in the RAF until retiring as a Squadron Leader in 1958. He bought the Pandora Inn at Restronguet in Cornwall. He retired to Spain from 1979-1991 and died in England in 1993. His brother Jeremy was also a fighter pilot and was also awarded the DFC but was killed in 1940.Olive Snell (1888-1962) married Colonel Ebenezer Leckie Pike, CBE, MC, of Dale Park, Arundel, Sussex Born in Durban, South Africa Lived in London and Petersfield, Hampshire Olive Snell studied under Boris Anrep and Augustus John, and exhibited at the Goupil Gallery, Fine Art Society, Grosvenor Gallery and the New English Art Club, Portrait Painters, the Royal Institute of Oil Painters and The Society of Women ArtistsOlive Snell was related to Hugh "Cocky" Dundas (later Group Captain Sir Hugh Dundas, DSO and Bar, DFC) who was Johnson's great friend in the war and indeed his best man at his wedding, so it is possible that it was through this connection that Olive Snell came to be asked to paint these portraits, although she is believed to have done similar pilot portraits of 610 Squadron in 1941..Olive Snell's work is in the Imperial War Museum, London.

The 1942 personal hand written leather bound war-time diary of Wing Commander (later Air Vice-Marshal) James Edgar "Johnnie" Johnson, CB, CBE, DSO and 2 Bars, DFC and Bar, from 1st January to 31st December 1942 with detailed entries of his every-day life both domestic and RAF related. 1942 was, for Fighter Command if not for Bomber Command and the other armed forces, a year of transition. The Battle of Britain and the worst of the Blitz were now over and the focus, and Luftwaffe resources, on the part of the Germans was now concentrated on the Russian Front. Notwithstanding this, the Germans provided stiff and fierce resistance to all attempts to attack their industrial institutions and communication links. Fighter Command's principal role was changing from one of destroying German bombers attacking Britain to escorting British, and latterly American, bombers attacking mainland Europe. Many Fighter Command pilots disliked this role. Fighter pilots were also involved in "Rhubarb" operations which were low level attacks generally carried out only when there were low cloud and poor visibility conditions. Pilots generally - but not unanimously - also intensely disliked these operations which were considered dangerous but achieving very little. Johnson was certainly of this opinion and makes mention of this view a few times in the diary. A sample entry for Sunday 25th January reads: "Kirton: Flight arrived back from Garhill more dead than alive, made my report to Group Capt. Woolhams. In the evening Neville, Nip, Derek and I slipped down to the Royal and met old Nat, pushed along to The Jolly Sailor and had several more beers and the odd brandy. Lovely night with almost a full moon and Nip decided he was going to fly; tried to persuade him not but the bugger was very obstinate and moved quietly off in my van; rang up Kimby & told him to tell Nip that the CO's instructions were not to take off, Dicky Stafford also refused him permission from opps - no use, he took off and after beating up the mess pranged when landing - stalled from about 20 feet. Hell of a row, C.O. talking about a court -martial and the Nip walking about as white as a ghost". The diary also includes operational information of life in 610 Squadron such as the entry on 19th August for the Dieppe raid: "West Malling: The wing took off at 07:40 to provide cover for Army & Navy operations at Dieppe. Jamie leading with 485 Sqd, 411 next and ourselves top cover. We saw a lot of aircraft returning and when halfway across saw a heavy smoke fall over the town. When about 5 miles off the coast we were heavily engaged by over 100 190's and 109's. Self: 1FW 190 Destroyed. Self, F/Sgt Creagh & P/O Smith. 1 Me 109 Destroyed. Self & P/O Smith. 1 FW 190 Damaged. P/O Hakam. 1 FW 190 Damaged. F/LT Crowley Milling. 1 Me 109 Destroyed. Our Casualties: F/LT Poole & Sgt Leach Missing. F/Sgt Creagh - Bailed out & picked up by Navy. 2nd Patrol, 3rd Patrol & 4th Patrol" Interestingly, the diary indicates that Johnson had 3 days shooting grouse in Scotland on 5th, 6th and 7th August; under the 1831 Game Act, grouse shooting may not commence until 12 August. The diary also has a photograph glued in of Johnnie with his dog Pusher. Pusher sadly was killed by a Motor Transport lorry when running across the perimeter track on 23 August 1942. Whilst on holiday/leave in the north of England where he indulged his love of shooting, Johnson came by a litter of Labradors and promptly bought one, Sally, for 7 guineas. Sally was to feature in several subsequent photographs with Johnson and his then current Spitfire. The diary is accompanied by a typed transcript and a 610 Squadron plaque. Provenance: By descent within the family of Johnnie Johnson.
