Group Captain Donaldson’s firm and tactful handling of aircrews, his cheerful spirit and devotion to duty have earned him the unswerving loyalty of all ranks.

The squadron’s Operations Record Book shows: ‘On Monday 20th September, 2 x 1000lb bombs exploded accidentally some 150 yards from the squadron dispersal and several of the squadron’s aircraft were damaged. The damage to most was very slight but one aircraft WK133 received damage which has entailed placing it CAT3. A piece of shrapnel entered the port lower mainplane skin inboard of rib 6 and ricocheted forward passing through rib 6, the main spar and rib 7, after which it passed through the trailing edge of the aileron. The top skin of the mainplane was slightly buckled along the path of the shrapnel. As a result of this damage, the aircraft needs a complete port mainplane change.’ An additional section records: ‘One airman from the squadron, LAC Hopkins, together with two airmen from 115 Squadron, distinguished themselves by rescuing chief technician Bawley, the tractor driver. The three airmen were approximately 200 yards from the scene of the accident but within 30 seconds they had chief technician Bawley clear of the tractor, this regardless of the fact that there were four more unexploded 1000lb bombs lying on the peritrack and that shrapnel was falling about them whilst they were running towards the tractor. It was unfortunate that, in spite of their efforts, chief technician Bawley died after being admitted to King’s Lynn Hospital.” Group Captain Donaldson retired in May 1957. Sold with copied research.

The Indian Mutiny Medal awarded to Cornet C. A. Copland, Bengal Yeomanry Cavalry, who was twice mentioned for gallantry by Colonel Rowcroft while attached to the Sarun Field Force, on one occasion single-handedly killing 3 mutineers during the charge at Almorah Indian Mutiny 1857-59, no clasp (Cornet Chas. Copland, Bengal Yeo. Cavy.) fitted with engraved silver ribbon brooch, toned, good very fine and scarce £900-£1,200 --- Charles Albert Copland was born in Dublin on 18 May 1840, son of Charles Copland, Manager and later General Manager of the Bank of Ireland, and his wife Euphemia. Charles senior had been born in Jamaica where his father owned a sugar plantation, and had later been manager of the Bank of Ireland from its commencement. 
Copland received a classical and mathematical education and was nominated a Cadet for the East India Company's Bengal Infantry season 1856-57, passing out from Addiscombe on 17 March 1857. He travelled by the overland route, arriving at Calcutta on 15 May 1857, five days after the outbreak of the mutiny at Meerut. He was commissioned Ensign and ordered to do duty with the 30th Bengal Native Infantry by General Order, 22 July 1857. 
Calcutta being in a state of frenzy after the news of the mutiny at Meerut rumours were rampant among the citizenry regarding the possibility of a similar rising in Calcutta. In these conditions of anxiety, nervous tension and fearful expectations the Government, under Lord Canning, raised a body of cavalry, some 250 in number to be called the Bengal Yeomanry Cavalry. They were formed and led by Colonel J. F. Richardson C.B., a hero of Mooltan in 1848 where he was wounded no fewer than 17 times. The Bengal Yeomanry Cavalry fought 17 actions during the campaign with ferocity and daring. Their cavalry charges against overwhelming superior forces were legendary and it is therefore unsurprising that the mutineers gave them the soubriquet “Shaitan-i-Pultan”, the “Devil's” or “Satan's Regiment”. Although promoted to Lieutenant on 3 November 1858, with 30th Bengal Native Infantry, Copland had actually been doing duty with the Bengal Yeomanry Cavalry since March 1858, with the rank of Cornet, being attached to the 2nd Troop in the Sarun Field Force, under Colonel (later Brigadier, C.B.) Rowcroft, serving until the end of the Trans-Gogra campaign. Copland is shown in the Quarterly Bengal Army List of August 1859 as still doing duty with the Bengal Yeomanry Cavalry. He was twice specially mentioned in dispatches for his gallantry by Colonel Rowcroft: Colonel Rowcroft to Colonel R. J. H. Birch, C.B., Camp Amorah, 6 March 1858. ‘….I detached a party of 20 troopers to the rear of the naval guns to cover and protect them, and this party, under acting Cornets Copland and Prinsep, by their gallant and excellent service aided in capturing some of the guns...’
 Colonel Rowcroft to Colonel R. J. H. Birch, C.B., Governor-General Allahabad. Camp Amorah 19 April 1858. ‘...After giving them 4 rounds of shell, I ordered Major Richardson, in command of the 2nd troop right Squadron Bengal Yeomanry Cavalry, with my portion of the force to move from my right flank and charge this body of the enemy. The 2nd troop under its gallant leader, made a noble charge, and although they came upon a larger body of the enemy behind a village, and the sepoys made a desperate resistance, nothing stopped this brave cavalry, and they cut down and killed fully sixty of the rebels and captured a 6-pounder gun with limber and the enemy was completely dispersed... My best thanks are specially due to the officers and men of the 2nd troop Bengal Yeomanry Cavalry and to their gallant leader Major Richardson, who, himself killed 6 of the enemy, Supernumerary Cornet Copland killed three, Cornet and Quartermaster Kloer killed three, Cornet Scott killed several...’ 
Lieutenant Copland is shown as serving with the 3rd Sikh Irregular Cavalry in January 1859, and with the Lahore Light Horse in January of 1861. He died of cholera at Barrackpore, India on 19 of June 1862, being then described as 'Lieutenant, Lahore Light Horse'. He was twenty-two years old. He died intestate and, as was tradition, all his goods and chattels were sold at public auction. Messrs Cook and Dhurrumtulla sold his horses and two buggies, although one horse named ‘Lord of the Isles’ was sold privately for Rupees 1,600. Over 350 other items from sleeping drawers, to a life preserver, dog collars and a smoking cap were all sold.

Scots.) fitted with steel clip and straight bar suspension, edge bruising and contact marks, otherwise better than good fine £1,800-£2,200 --- Provenance: Purchased Spink, January 1980.

Having attained the age of 18 on 7 August 1809, he served for 30 years 64 days, including 2 years for Waterloo. At some point after Waterloo, likely in 1817 when the 3rd Battalion was disbanded, he transferred to the 2nd Battalion and served in the East Indies from 30 April 1821 to 24 October 1831, and was finally discharged at Fort George on 11 July 1832, having served ‘Ten years and one hundred and twenty eight days in the East Indies and at the Battle of Waterloo’, and ‘intends to reside and draw his pension at Drumore in the County of Antrim.’ ‘The Regimental Board is of the opinion that his General Character as a soldier is good - The Board having recorded the above character of Private Charles McLaren, owing to his general good character for twenty five years in the Regiment during which time his name appears 5 times only in the Defaulters Book, and those times not for offences of a very serious nature, deem it necessary to remark that in the year 1830, he was charged with the Commission of an unnatural Crime, for which he was tried before the Supreme Court of Indicature at Madras and acquitted.’ Sold with 7pp copied discharge papers where his name is generally spelt ‘McLaren’ but on one page in particular it is also given as ‘M’Larnen’ and MacLarnen.’
