A fine British War Medal awarded to Chauffeuse Miss Emily R. Duncan, Scottish Women's Hospitals and French Red Cross, who spent two years driving an ambulance in Salonika, much of this time as part of the pioneering 'All Women' Girton and Newnham Unit British War Medal 1914-20 (E. R. Duncan.) nearly extremely fine £80-£100 --- Emily Robertson Duncan was born on 5 October 1883 and lived at 20 Queen's Road, Aberdeen. She volunteered for the Scottish Women's Hospitals in the summer of 1917 and served in Salonika as a chauffeuse from 17 July 1917 to 24 November 1917. A contemporary newspaper article written by a Press Association Special Correspondent offers a little more information about the lives of these women volunteers at that time: ‘It is only right to pay a tribute to the bravery and devotion of the chauffeuses of the Scottish Women's Hospital attached to the Serbian Army, who take the ambulances as far as the cars can go along the precipitous paths in order to meet the wounded, and are constantly risking life and limb in this dangerous work, which requires skill as well as nerve. Yet young girls perform the journey sometimes twice daily, and often have to spend the night on the mountain side, as breakdowns are, unfortunately, too frequent in such bad country.’ On 23 March 1918, Duncan was posted to the Girton and Newnham Unit of the Scottish Women's Hospitals. Named after the only two Cambridge colleges to admit women, this all-female establishment og 60 staff was led by the pioneering Dr. Anne Louse McIlroy, a former surgeon in gynaecology, who devoted her time to treating wounded and sick French, Serb, Albanian and Russian servicemen. Reports from this time state that the heat of the Greek summer of 1918 made conditions almost unbearable to work in, with many diseases spreading from the patients to the staff; nevertheless, the staff proved that women were more than capable of running a war hospital and able work in any field of medicine or surgery, including those specialities previously restricted to male doctors. Such pioneering work and endurance was not lost on the local dignitaries. According to a Correspondent working for the Daily News: 'The large corps of the Scottish Women Motor Transport, etc., in the Dobrudja, is earning the great admiration of the Rumanians and Russians alike. The Prefect of Constanza said to me... "It is extraordinary how these women endure hardship. They refuse help, and carry the wounded themselves. They work like navvies. No wonder England is a great country if the women are like that."’ Duncan left Salonika on 1 July 1919 and likely returned home to Scotland. She is later recorded as working at St. George's Hospital in London in 1939, her employment described as 'Late Appeal'. She died in Chelsea on 24 November 1963.

A fine post-War 1964 ‘Aden Brigade’ B.E.M. Pair awarded to Staff Sergeant J. K. Roberts, Royal Signals, who was instrumental in enabling military and civil communications across Aden British Empire Medal, (Military) E.II.R. (22515075 Sgt. John K. Roberts. R. Sigs.) with Royal Mint case of issue; Army L.S. & G.C., E.II.R., 2nd issue, Regular Army (22515075 S.Sgt. J. K. Roberts. B.E.M. R. Signals.) mounted as worn; together with the related miniature awards, these similarly mounted, good very fine (2) £200-£240 --- B.E.M. London Gazette 1 January 1964. The original recommendation states: ‘Aden Colony and State. 17 May 1961 to 6 May 1963. He carried out his basic line work and administrative duties as Troop Sergeant of Line Troop most successfully. These line duties entailed a supervision of work effort on cable projects, works services and fault repairs through the whole of Aden State. In addition to these, his established duties, he was intimately concerned in the detailed planning of Signals Works Services for Aden Colony (and State) and the preparation of specifications and stores forecasts for such projects. He applied the knowledge gained from his General Post Office background and training to the multitudinous line communication problems, with an intelligence and shrewdness which always produced the right answer. His task on line communications was a difficult one owing to the paucity, indeed non existence in many instances, of cable routing records in the Services and Posts and Telecommunications Aden: These difficulties were aggravated by the rapid build up of Army units with associated new camps and installations. He showed admirable flexibility of mind in coping with the continual changes in communication planning required by this build up. A flair for making use of what equipment and cable was available as opposed to what was technically required enabled him to produce the solution to many immediate communication problems. His work called for a considerable and sustained personal effort far greater than that required or expected from one of his rank and seniority. His example was an inspiration to those who worked for and with him. These additional duties entailed close liaison with the Senior British engineers of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications Aden and his work enabled the first intelligible set of cable records for both civil and military installations, to be made. His conduct and ability gave an excellent impression of the potential of Army Signals to the Civil Technical Staff in Aden: so much so that the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications acknowledged his fine spirit of cooperation and his excellent work by sending a letter of appreciation, at the end of his tour, to Headquarters Middle East Command.’ John Keith Roberts was recommended for the B.E.M. on 3 July 1963 by Major P. A. MacGillivray, Officer Commanding No. 254 Signal Squadron (Aden), and Brigadier M. Harbottle, Commander Aden Garrison. Formerly known as Headquarters British Forces Arabian Peninsula (Independent) Signal Squadron, No. 254 Signal Squadron (Aden) was disbanded in 1965 and absorbed into No. 15 Signal Regiment, being later tasked with UN peacekeeping duties in Cyprus.

Diameter: 34mm.Some British coins minted in 1745 and 1746 feature a privy mark in the form of the word 'LIMA' below the bust. This includes Five Guinea, 'full' Guineas, Half Guineas, Crowns, Halfcrowns, Shillings and Sixpences. These King George II coins were struck using gold and silver captured from European treasure ships on the way back from Peru, hence the use of 'LIMA', the Peruvian capital. The capture is often attributed to Admiral George Anson, later 1st Baron Anson with the ships said to be Spanish galleons. However, archival research reveals that the captured ships were French (the Louis Erasmus and the Marquis d'Antin). These vessels were taken by British privateers: government-sanctioned pirates whose prize money was shared between sponsors and crew.The Gentlemen's Magazine reported in September 1745 that the 'privateers waited on the King and offered £700,000 - their share of the prizes - to be immediately employ'd for his majesty's service, which was accepted and the money is to be repaid by Parliament.'. The loot, consisting of Spanish coin and bullion, was then transported to the Royal Mint. The application to place the word 'LIMA' under the royal portrait was made by the Bank of England in December 1745.

'17 23 · BRVN ET · L · DVX S · R · I · A · TH ET · EL ·'. Composition: 925 silver. Weight: 5.90g. Diameter: 26mm.The South Sea Company was founded in 1711 as a joint-stock company with a British government-granted monopoly on the supply of African slaves to the islands in the 'South Seas' (Oceania) and South America. Since the area was controlled by the Spanish and Portuguese there was no realistic prospect of profiting from the monopoly. However, this did not stop mass speculation in the Company, causing their stock to rise, peaking and crashing in 1720 when the so-called 'South Sea Bubble' collapsed, ruining many investors.Too big to fail, the British government continued to support the Company including buying a cargo of 25 tonnes of silver from them in 1723. About 40% of this silver was delivered to the Royal Mint which was quickly converted into King George I Halfcrowns, Shillings and Sixpences, struck in May 1723 with a privy mark to the reverse with the letters 'SSC' between the cruciform shields.The government's bail-out of the South Sea Company was controversial and it may be the case that SSC coins were intended as a form of propaganda, reminding the British public that the Company did bring in some profits. This is similar to earlier 'VIGO' coins, struck during the reign of Queen Anne, celebrating a notable victory in the War of the Spanish Succession.
