Royal Air Force Battle Dress Blouse and Forage Cap Attributed to Warrant Officer Arthur John Coles 39 Squadron, Member of the Goldfish Club and Taken Prisoner of War in Italy when his Beaufort Crashed into the Tyrrhenian Sea on 25th February 1943, 1944 dated War Service Dress RAF issue battle dress blouse having embroidered signallers brevet wing above medal ribbons for 1939-45 star, Africa star with rosette and Defence medal. To the breast pocket is his original embroidered Gold Fish club badge. Embroidered warrant officer rank badges to each cuff. Accompanying the battle dress is his original officers type forage cap with gilt metal two piece cap badge. Some moth damage to the lower section of one of the battle dress pockets. Accompanying the set is a photograph of Arthur Coles when he was in the Police force after the war and photocopied paperwork relating to his time in captivity and an account of the night his aircraft crashed. Amongst the paperwork is a photocopied photograph of Coles wearing this battle dress and forage cap during a D-Day celebration near Banbury. Warrant Officer Arthur John Coles served as Signaller in 39th Torpedo Bomber squadron. He was part of a crew which took off from Malta after midnight on 25th February 1943, they were sent to target a convoy of Italian vessels which was heading for Naples from a Tunisian port. He states “I picked up the convoy on my ASV (radar) screen at a position 95 miles from Marettimo Island, off the coast of Sicily. Jimmy Hewetson, a Rhodesian, flew parallel with the convoy at a distance of about a mile, keeping to the dark part of the sky. He turned into attack, sighting the convoy in the moon-path, and chose one of the two merchantmen. Normally we would keep down low and climb to 60 feet to release the torpedo. Suddenly something fundamental went wrong. There was an almighty bang, and a vivid flash of light in front of me, momentary blinding me. We had flown straight into the Tyrrhenian Sea, out torpedo still in the bomb-bay! I probably owed my life to being strapped into my seat and, as was my practice during night attacks, having placed my head against my parachute which, in turn, was pressed up against the radio. As the water began lapping around my feet, I released the seat straps and moved swiftly towards the rear hatch just behind the port wing, and pulled the release catch. The rubber dinghy was stowed in the port wing.” He continues to state that whilst in the water, the aircraft sank very quickly, taking the pilot with it. The escape dinghy was sadly leaking badly and they were luckily able to signal to the Italian ship using their Aircrew whistles. Whilst on the ship, the rescued crew were looked after very well. The Italian captain explained why he had risked being sunk by British Submarines rescuing them, “His brother had been a Captain on an Italian Submarine earlier in the war and had been rescued by the Royal Navy after his submarine had been depth charged and he had been obliged to surface and surrender. Thus the Captain on the torpedo boat felt he had, in honour, a debt to repay. How lucky can one be?” He was originally held in an Italian Prisoner of War holding camp. It was whilst here that he gained a job as a office clerk which got him out of the day to day camp life. When the Italians surrendered to the Allies they were left in the camp with no guards. Many of the prisoners were free to walk out of the camp, although they were ordered to stay put. The camp was soon overtook by the German forces in Italy and the prisoners were moved by cattle truck up through the Brenna Pass into Austria and then onto Germany where he was held at Stalag IVB before being liberated by the Russians on 23rd April 1945.

In the early 20th century, the company was located at 4 & 6 Boulevard Bourdon, Neuilly sur Seine. Alcyon moved to Courbevoie, Seine, in 1912, and ceased trading in 1957.The early 1920s was a time of innovation for Alcyon. A few years after World War One, cyclemotors and small motorcycles started to become popular, particularly among cyclists and women. Alcyon encouraged them to upgrade from pedal bicycles to motorised bicycles. One of these machines was a bicycle with an engine over the front wheel – the ‘Motrix’ – while the ‘Alcyonette’ was essentially a strengthened bicycle frame with sprung forks and a 98cc two stroke centrally-mounted engine. The style later became known as an ‘autocycle’ and then as a ‘moped’. In France it was called a ‘B.M.A’ and Alcyon made a female frame version too, known as the ‘Dame et Ecclesiastique’ because it was also suitable for priests with cassocks.Condition: Minor discolouration, minor surface scratch.The absence of a condition statement does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging.
