A LATE VICTORIAN OXIDISED BRASS ANEROID SURVEYOR'S BAROMETERJ. CASARTELLI AND SON, MANCHESTER, CIRCA 1900The 3.75 inch circular silvered register signed J. CASARTELLI & SON, MANCHESTER beneath COMPENSATED to the recessed centre, within scale calibrated in barometric inches divided into fiftieths and concentric outer scale calibrated in feet in both directions for ASCENT and DESCENT from 0 to 3000 divided into ten-foot increments, with slender blued steel pointer and revolving canted inner bezel adjusted via the crown incorporating a small scale annotated and divided 0-5-10 in both directions and also labelled ASCENT and DESCENT, the outer bezel with thick bevelled glass and applied scale magnification lens also revolving manually; with a Stuart's Patent distance meter, retailed by G. Lee and Son, Portsea, late 19th century, with fixed shallow-angled glass prism set next to a section of concave lens whose relative position can be adjusted via a rack and pinion until the split image viewed through the telescope attachment lines-up, the upper surface of the slide applied with radial cream celluloid scale of alternating dotted and dashed lines annotated TENTHS OF MILES to upper margin, overlaid with a slider attached to the frame of the instrument moving against scale annotated in feet 0-100-200 and with locking screw. Stamped G. LEE & SON., THE HARD, PORTSEA. to lower left, the right-hand brass side panel inscribed STUART'S, DISTANCE METER, (PATENT) and No. 125, the rear with delineated table with columns titled SHIP, MAST H'D TO W L, MAST H'D TO LOWER TOP and UPPER SPEED TO STERN L'T, in original mahogany box with black japanned sighting telescope and instruction sheet (torn), (2).The barometer 14.5cm (5.75ins) high to top of crown, 7cm (2.75ins) approx. deep; the distance meter box 4.5cm (1.75ins) high, 19cm (7.5ins) wide, 10cm (4ins) deep. J. Casartelli and Son are recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS & RETAILERS 1660-1900 as opticians and mathematical instrument makers working from 43 Market Street, Manchester, from 1896-1925. George Lee and Son are recorded by Banfield as working from Ordnance Row, The Hard Portsea and 3 Palmerston Road, Southsea circa 1880-1900. Stuart's Patent distance meter is a form of optical rangefinder which requires the height of the object viewed (ship) to be known. By setting the height (in feet) on the central slider and then lining-up the split image viewed through the telescope, after adjustment of the rack and pinion assembly, the distance of the object from the viewer can then be read-off the radial 'Tenths of Miles' scale.  Condition Report: IVORY LICENCE 6W1NDVJ7Condition Report Disclaimer

A rare Great War ‘India theatre’ M.S.M. group of six awarded to Sergeant Major 2nd Class R. T. Short, Royal Air Force, late Army Ordnance Corps 1914-15 Star (216 Q.M. Sjt. R. T. Short, A.O.C.); British War and Victory Medals (338059. S.M. 2. R. T. Short. R.A.F.); Delhi Durbar 1911 (Q.M.S. Short. A.O.C.) neatly engraved naming; Royal Air Force Meritorious Service Medal, G.V.R. (216. S.M. 2 R. T. Short) naming slightly rubbed, and missing unit; Royal Air Force L.S. & G.C., G.V.R. (338059. S.M. 2. R. T. Short. R.A.F.) mounted on card for display, (6) £600-£800 --- M.S.M. London Gazette 3 June 1919 (India). Awarded the M.S.M. for services in India, one of just 4 M.S.M.s awarded to the R.A.F. for this theatre during the Great War. Reginald Thomas Short was born in Plymouth, Devon, in December 1876. He enlisted in the Army Ordnance Corps in August 1901, and was attached as Armament Quartermaster Sergeant attached to the 66th Battery, Royal Field Artillery at Jhansi, India in 1911 (Delhi Durbar confirmed on the roll of Ordnance Department - Headquarters, 6th Brigade A.O.C.) Short remained in India throughout the Great War, and according to his MIC he had some affiliation with the Royal Flying Corps. This may well have been behind his decision to transfer to the Royal Air Force on its formation. At some stage he re-engaged for a term of 21 years. Short’s service record is a little confusing in that an original entry shows transfer to the R.A.F. as being on 5 August 1918 - this is later amended to 1 April 1918. This could be the part explanation of his A.O.C. Service Number ‘216’ continuing to be used during the first few months of the new organisation. Short’s R.A.F. M.S.M. is gazetted on 3 June 1919 as ‘216 S/M2, and surprisingly the medal itself is so named - but with the exception of his unit. Obviously by this time he had the R.A.F. number ‘338059’. At the time of transfer his unit was R.A.F. Air Park, India confirming his previous attached service to the R.F.C. Short remained with the above unit until leaving for the UK, 15 May 1920 (R.A.F. L.S. & G.C. announced in AMO N.119/1922, but with an effective date of 13 August 1919). His only unit thereafter being the School of Technical Training, Manston, where he remained until discharged to pension on completion of 21 years’ qualifying service, on 13 August 1922. The confusion with the dates of his transfer form the A.O.C. appears to have continued with the award of his medals - with them all being issued a year or two after his discharge. Short died in Truro, Devon, in 1945. Sold with copied research.

A Boer War D.C.M. group of four awarded to Sergeant W. J. Park, 1st Tower Hamlets Rifle Volunteer Brigade and City of London Imperial Volunteers, Maxim Gun Section Distinguished Conduct Medal, V.R. (888 Serjt: W. J. Park. C.I.V.); Queen’s South Africa 1899-1902, 4 clasps, Cape Colony, Johannesburg, Wittebergen, Diamond Hill (888 Sgt. W. J. Park, C.I.V.); British War and Victory Medals (019822 Pte. W. J. Park. A.O.C.) mounted court-style for display, good very fine (4) £1,800-£2,200 --- Provenance: A. A. Upfill-Brown Collection, December 1991; Jack Webb Collection, August 2020. D.C.M. London Gazette 27 September 1901. One of only 14 Distinguished Conduct Medals awarded to the City Imperial Volunteers during the Boer War. William John Park was born at St. George in the East, London, on 10 December 1877. A leather cutter by occupation, he enlisted into the 1st Tower Hamlets Rifles in 1896 and served with their detachment in South Africa during the Boer War as the senior volunteer N.C.O. - under Sergeant Stevens, Royal Artillery - in the Maxim Gun Section of the Mounted Infantry, City Imperial Volunteers. For his services during the Boer War he was Mentioned in Despatches (London Gazette 10 September 1901) and awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal. Park later saw service in the Army Ordnance Corps during the Great War. The above sketch was reproduced in the Daily Graphic on 26 July 1900 and was drawn from notes provided by Captain Edis who had been present at the action. The British occupied Pretoria on 5 June 1900, and the sketch shows the C.I.V.s bringing their Maxim into use at Diamond Hill on 18 June. Fripp wrote, ‘They brought their Maxim over the roughest ground - almost carrying it - and managed to keep it in action for about a quarter of an hour, to the great discomfort of the enemy, notwithstanding a cross fire of “pom poms” and field guns. As usual the Boers got into a nest of rocks, but in spite of the impregnable position which they held, the discretion of valour compelled them to retire with a couple of wagon loads of dead.’

A post-War B.E.M. group of four awarded to Captain N. Priestley, Royal Army Ordnance Corps British Empire Medal, (Military) E.II.R. (10596505 A/W.O. Cl.2. Norman Priestley, R.A.O.C.); War Medal 1939-45; General Service 1918-62, 1 clasp, Malaya, E.II.R. (10596505 W.O. Cl.2. N. Priestley. R.A.O.C.); General Service 1962-2007, 1 clasp, South Arabia (Capt. N. Priestley. B.E.M. RAOC.) mounted as worn; together with the recipient’s riband bar; and the related miniature awards for the first three medals, these similarly mounted, good very fine (4) £300-£400 --- B.E.M. London Gazette 1 January 1955. The original Recommendation, dated 7 July 1954, states: ‘At the end of 1953, expansion of the Ammunition Repair Factory’s activities caused a progressive increase in the production of repaired ammunition to the extent that the Repair Factory was no longer self-sufficient in the supply of serviceable packages. It became necessary to set up a separate organisation to satisfy this requirement and it was decided that a “Package Renovation Centre” should be created at a depot road transit area. Speed and efficiency of improvisation were essential pending the study and implementation of Works Services in order to maintain production. Early in 1954, a non commissioned officer was available to undertake the task of creating this special department, Warrant Officer Priestley being detailed to carry out the work under broad terms of reference, and in addition to his normal duties as an Ammunition Examiner. The task was formidable. The predicted delays in making provision for and obtaining equipment, and in planning and organising work and documentation procedures, foretold various interruption in the flow of serviceable ammunition. This was prevented, however, by the capable and energetic way in which Warrant Officer Priestley tackled the problem. He displayed admirable efficiency and with much determination, ingenuity, and pride of achievement, he brought about the start of production sufficiently early to alleviate a bottleneck in the flow of serviceable ammunition from the Repair Factory. Today the “Package Renovation Centre” is a smoothly-working and self-accounting sub-department. Works Services are not yet completed, but improvisation and self-help under the continued supervision of Warrant Officer Priestley have ensured continuity in the interim. It is anticipated that the “Package Renovation Centre” will supply all the needs of the Repair Factory, thus releasing the present Repair Factory packages facilities and labour for repair of ammunition.’ Norman Priestley was commissioned Second Lieutenant in the Royal Army Ordnance Corps on 31 August 1964. He was promoted Lieutenant on 21 July 1966, and Captain on 31 August 1966, and retired on 31 March 1972. Sold with the original named Buckingham Palace enclosure for the B.E.M.; and three letters of congratulations on the award, from General Sir Ouvry L. Roberts; Major-General W. W. Richards; and Major-General G. A. N. Swiney.

W. Clark was born in Oxton, Birkenhead, and was educated at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich. He was commissioned Second Lieutenant in the Royal Garrison Artillery in 1885 and served in India, Malta and Gibraltar, before being appointed Private Secretary and Aide de Camp to the Governor of Trinidad in 1893. Advanced Lieutenant-Colonel in 1913, he served during the Great War on the Western Front from 19 August 1915, and was Brigadier-General, Heavy Artillery, Headquarters, 15/Army Corps. For his services during the Great War he was twice Mentioned in Despatches (London Gazettes 4 January 1917 and 15 May 1917) and was appointed a Companion of the Order of St. Michael and St. George in 1917. He retired in 1922 and died on 21 November 1944. Charles Edward Tulloch Rolland was born on 28 November 1874 in Madras, India, the son of Colonel Alexander Tulloch Rolland of the Madras Staff Corps. Emulating his father, he was Commissioned on 16 December 1893 and promoted to full Colonel on 3 June 1921. Whilst serving as Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel during the Great War he was seconded to the Research Department on 19 June 1916, and for his services he was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (London Gazette 3 June 1919). He was appointed a Member of the Ordnance Committee on retirement on 1 January 1926. Garnet Robert de la Cour Corbett served with the 206th Siege Battery, Royal Garrison Artillery during the Great War, and for his services was awarded the Distinguished Service Order (London Gazette 3 June 1918). The Reverend William Drury was born in Burton on 19 June 1876 and was educated at Christ’s Hospital and Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. Ordained a Priest at Worcester in 1900, he was employed as Acting Chaplain to the Forces during the Boer War and was appointed Chaplain to the Forces at Woolwich, Singapore, Aldershot and Crownhill. Raised Deputy Chaplain General 1916-18, he was three times Mentioned in Despatches (London Gazette 22 June 1915, 4 January 1917, 15 May 1917) and later served as Chaplain to the Royal Hospital, Chelsea, from 1918-23. He died at Binstead Rectory on 24 October 1943. Sold with copied research.

A Second War ‘Italian Campaign’ G.M. group of six awarded to Gunner J. Heaney, Royal Artillery, who entered a German minefield to save the life of a severely wounded Indian soldier; recognising the importance of haste, he repeatedly swam across a fast-flowing river, enabling his charge to receive hospital treatment in time to save his life George Medal, G.VI.R., 1st issue (930511 Gnr. John Heaney, R.A.) officially re-impressed naming in small capitals; 1939-45 Star; Africa Star, 1 clasp, 1st Army; Italy Star; Defence and War Medals 1939-45, good very fine (6) £1,000-£1,400 --- G.M. London Gazette 8 June 1945: ‘In recognition of conspicuous gallantry in carrying out hazardous work in a very brave manner.’ The original recommendation states: ‘On the 7th November 1944 on the bank of the River Savio, close to Cesena, an Indian other rank walked into a minefield and was blown up on a mine. Gunner Heaney saw the accident from the opposite bank, and as there was no bridge, and although the river was flowing very fast at this point, without hesitation he plunged in and swam across. He picked his way through the minefields, applied dressings to the wounds and swam back across the river, where both were pulled out in an exhausted condition by means of a rope. The river at this point was 150 feet wide and swift running. Gunner Heaney showed great endurance and superb disregard for his personal safety and by his action undoubtedly saved the life of the wounded man.’ John Heaney was born in Anfield, Liverpool, on 14 December 1913. A livestock transport motor-driver, he attested at Birkenhead for the Royal Artillery on 11 December 1939 and was posted to the 11th Field Training Regiment soon thereafter. Transferred to the 22nd Field Regiment 20 June 1940 and briefly attached to the Royal Army Ordnance Corps on 24 February 1941, he married Miss Winifred Knight at Hambledon, Hampshire, before being sent to North Africa on 11 March 1943 with the 22nd Field Company, Royal Engineers. Joining the First Army in Tunisia, Heaney was appointed Driver in Charge on 13 April 1943 and was present during Operation Vulcan when a final ground attack effectively ended the campaign against the Axis Forces with the surrender of nearly 250,000 German and Italian soldiers; at around the time of the capture of Djebel Bou Aoukaz, the Germans were down to just 69 operational tanks, including 4 Tiger Tanks, in the entire Tunisian beachhead. Admitted to No. 72 General Hospital at Souk Ahras from 26 June to 3 July 1943, reason unknown, Heaney was later admitted for a short time to No. 69 General Hospital at La Reunion, before being transferred to the 8th Convalescent Depot on 1 November 1943. Returned to to the 22nd Field Regiment on 29 March 1944, Heaney was posted to Italy midway through the Allied attacks upon Monte Cassino and the Gustav Defences. Here the Germans made excellent use of the mountainous topography and fast-flowing rivers, and successfully held back the British XIII Corps for months on end; it fell to the ingenuity of the Sappers at Amazon Bridge on the night of 12-13 May 1944 to finally make the decisive breakthrough, a scene later immortalised by the artist Terence Cuneo in his painting Crossing the Rapido. Advancing up the Adriatic Coast, the Allies captured Ravenna on 5 November 1944, but faced still opposition from troops of the German 10th Army, established upon the raised banks of the River Senio. In support of 4th Infantry Division, it was at this time that Heaney determined to save the life of an Indian soldier, his troubles likely made worse by extremely cold water and the onset of early winter conditions. Severe fighting along the spine of Italy would continue until the Gothic Line was finally breached in April 1945, barely one week before the formal German surrender on 8 May 1945 which ended the war in Europe. Admitted to hospital in Athens from 21 March to 7 April 1945, Heaney was struck off strength, Central Mediterranean Force, on 16 November 1945, and likely returned home to his wife in Hambledon. He remained in the Royal Artillery Reserve, but his health finally got the better of him in April 1952 when he was discharged medically unfit for further service. Sold with copied research.
