Average Very Fine The citations for the above awards as follows: CB Colonel (Acting Major General) Henry Robinson Swinburn, MC (London Gazette 12th June 1947 Birthday honours); OBE 2nd type, as Lieutenant Colonel, 17th Dogra Regiment, Indian Army (London Gazette 11th October 1945 “in recognition of gallant and distinguished services in the field”), the recommendation as follows: ”Lt Col Swinburn was captured at St Valery in June 1940. Throughout his imprisonment he took a keen and active interest in all Intelligence, Escaping and Security work, acting as Chief co-ordinating officer for Major General Fortune. Included in this work was the frequent communication of vital information to the War Office by secret means. Lt Col Swinburn has been highly praised by three colleagues who had knowledge of the work he had undertaken. Major General Fortune has also commended him as one of the most outstanding Intelligence workers in German camps”. Whilst in captivity Swinburn was a major part of an organised system allowing coded messages to be sent directly to, and received from, MI9, he was mentioned in despatches (London Gazette March 1946), and awarded the OBE (London Gazette October 1945). MC (London Gazette 19th December 1922 to Lt Henry Robinson Swinburn, 15th Sikhs, I.A.) 1 of only 9 MCs awarded in 1922 and the only issued for Kurdistan - citation reads “During the retirement at Rania Plain on the 1st September, 1922, when the rear guard platoon of his regiment was hard pressed, he reinforced them with the only other platoon available, and charged the enemy with the bayonet, inflicting heavy casualties, and improving the situation generally. He was wounded shortly after, but continued to encourage his men. Lieutenant Swinburn commanded his company with marked success, resource and energy under difficult circumstances”. Sold with the awards are two cuttings books covering 1940-41 relating to the progress of the War including scraps for St Valery : one unidentified news cutting states “Heroic Fighting by the Highland Division”.. June 7th, it was learnt that hostile tanks had broken through the French on the British right and were making for Rouen, then our base for supplies. Arrangements were therefore made to procure supplies from Havre, and on June 8th the division fell back to the River Bethune, which enters the sea at Dieppe, this line being occupied soon after daylight on June 9.That day provided the division with its first respite for a long period. As retreat in the direction of Rouen was now out of the question, it was arranged to evacuate the whole French IX Corps, of which the Highland Division formed part, from Havre. One brigade group was dispatched to hold a covering position round the port. Then came the tragedy which has already been reported. German movement northward from Rouen cut off the division from Havre and made it necessary to attempt an evacuation from Saint-Valery. But during June 11th German assaults on the perimeter established round the little port, supported by dive bombers, though repulsed in the British sector, broke through that of the French. As is now well known, fog prevented the Navy from giving its wonted aid to the cornered troops, and except for a handful who managed to escape to Veules-les-Roses, this portion of the Allied force was captured..” another cutting records “An hour later there was heavy bombing, and many parts of the town began to blaze fiercely. Then to my surprise I heard heavy machine gun fire, and the British troops began to rush up the streets with fixed bayonets“; these books also include telegrams received by Mrs Swinburn advising that her husband is reported missing, a second reports Lieutenant Colonel H.R. Swinburn last seen fit well and unwounded as Prisoner of War 15th June.. An August 13th telegram states “Very glad received postcard from Henry Swinburn who is well and prisoner number1253 at Oflag VII C/H”; in January 1942 he was sent to Oflag IX A/H.camp. Included also in this lot: “The Legendary 51st 1940-1990” a booklet which “commemorates the 50th anniversary of the event. It illustrates the Division’s history prior to 1940 and deals, too, with the story of the reborn Division which avenged its predecessor and liberated St Valery in 1944”; cufflinks bearing the Sikh Regimental device and also of chakram (Indian throwing weapon) design; a 2nd Royal Battalion The Sikh Regiment programme for The Trooping of the Colour in celebration of the Centenary of the Battalion, Bombay 1946 and few other items of ephemera.

Lynch is remembered as 'an exceptional horticulturist, one of the greatest and most influential of this period.

His first record, a cover version of Buster Brown's US rhythm and blues hit "Sugar Babe", with guitar by Big Jim Sullivan and produced by Chris Blackwell, was released by Decca in 1962. It did not chart, and nor did two subsequent singles on Decca, but the record was a groundbreaking attempt at a proper R&B style on a British recording and helped pave the way for what was coming. In 1963, Powell moved to London and started visiting the Marquee Club, where British musicians such as Alexis Korner and Cyril Davies performed. His new manager, Malcolm Nixon, auditioned groups to act as his backing band, and offered the role to the Dimensions who were a London-based group formed in 1962 by guitarist Gary Leport, bassist Louis Cennamo, guitarist Peter Mariosa and drummer Brian "Chick" Kattenhorn. In 1963 they added rhythm guitarist Mike Webb and singer and harmonica player Rod Stewart. Leport and Stewart were old school friends, and had played together previously in a north London band, the Raiders, who (without Stewart) subsequently became the instrumental group the Moontrekkers and recorded with Joe Meek. With Jimmy Powell joining them as lead singer in 1963, the group changed their name to Jimmy Powell and The 5 Dimensions.
