A PABUJI PHADA, RAJASTHAN, EARLY 20TH CENTURY pigment with ink on cotton, of long, horizontal rectangular form, 53 x 170cmFor a related phada in the Calico Museum, Ahmedabad, see Talwar and Krishna 1979, p.101ff, no.120. Pabuji is a folk hero in Rajasthan who lived in the fourteenth century and has since gained semi-divine status. In this large scale composition, the hero is depicted holding a sword and lotus, and accompanied by his four generals. Other scenes include episodes from his life, along with others shown as comparisons with his deeds. Below is the beautiful black mare presented to him by Charani Deval, a form of Shakti. The story is told that the goddess gave the horse in exchange for an unconditional promise to defend her herd of cattle. On the day of Pabuji's wedding, the cattle were stolen, and in the battle to retrieve them, the hero was killed.

Rendell, Royal Marines, who was captured and taken Prisoner of War whilst serving in H.M.S.

R.M.), mounted court-style for display, minor edge bruise to last, otherwise good very fine and an unusual combination (9) £800-£1,000 --- R.V.M. A.F.O. 2392/47. Awarded for the Royal Tour to South Africa in H.M.S. Vanguard, Medal presented 25 June 1947. B.E.M. London Gazette 13 June 1957. Arthur Rendell was born in Wolverhampton on 23 November 1917 and enlisted into the Royal Marines in November 1935. He was promoted Corporal on 21 January 1937 and Sergeant (Temporary) on 22 August 1941. ‘Massacre at Tobruk’
The objective of Operation “Agreement”, the raid on Tobruk, was to gain control of the harbour and to demolish the installations of a port which saved the Germans 260 miles of road transport. Prepared in the greatest secrecy - and timed to coincide with land operations undertaken by the Long Range Desert Group - the main thrust of the assault fell to the men of the 11th Battalion, Royal Marines, all of whom were embarked in H.M.S. Zulu and her fellow Tribal-class consort H.M.S. Sikh at Haifa. They had in addition attached elements from the Royal Artillery and Royal Engineers - both ships had Italian red and white diagonal identification stripes painted on their fo’c’sles, in addition to other minor modifications to try and confuse the enemy, but in the event such alterations proved utterly ineffective. Having then received a good luck signal from Winston Churchill, Zulu and Sikh escorted by the cruiser H.M.S. Coventry - also sunk in the raid - and two Hunt-class destroyers (Croome and Hursley), made their way towards Tobruk for “zero hour” on the night of the 13-14 September 1942 and, on nearing their destination, broke away from their escort and steamed due west at top speed until, at midnight, they altered course and turned south for the final run-in. At this moment, 60 R.A.F. Wellingtons began a three hours’ bombardment of the town and at 2 a.m. the code word was received, indicating that the L.R.D.G. had taken a coastal battery at the mouth of the harbour, thereby setting in motion the lowering of the first wave of assault craft from Sikh and Zulu. As it transpired, these were the only Marines disembarked, for the ferocity of the enemy’s response by shore battery and small-arms was immense - in fact fewer than 100 Marines survived the terrible passage from ship to shore where, after numerous acts of gallantry, the survivors were taken prisoner. Meanwhile, in their attempt to close the shore and try and rescue assorted men in heavily damaged assault craft, Sikh was caught in enemy searchlights and swept by a heavy fire, so much so that she was eventually stopped dead in the water, her guns and engines out of action. Rendell was in the water by this time. Zulu fared little better, taking three or four hits, but nonetheless made a bold attempt to get the seriously damaged Sikh in tow. Owing to the scale of the enemy’s fire, however, Commander White was compelled to abandon the task and sheer off for Alexandria, but not before closing with the shore to lay a smokescreen: not long afterwards the Sikh went down with the loss of two officers and 20 ratings. Rendell’s own account of the action, as given to a subsequent court of inquiry, states: 'I was a 3" Mortar Platoon Commander of the 11 Battalion. I was in A.2 dumb lighter in the 1st Flight which left the ship and formed up at 0345hrs approximately. There was a heavy sea running and approximately ten minutes later [we] parted. Contact was lost with A.1 owing to the sea and darkness and A.3 was cast off so that we could use our paddles. At 0415hrs, shore searchlights started to sweep the sea and passed over us many times. Shortly afterwards, shore batteries opened fire, presumably at H.M.S. Sikh which had been illuminated many times. About 0445hrs, Sikh came between us and the shore and at approximately 0500hrs she was seen to be hit aft.
About 0510hrs Sikh hailed us to come alongside as she was waiting for us. Approximately 0520 we came alongside Sikh which immediately got underway. An officer and 2 men were left in the boat and were picked up later by the Italians. Sikh's engines had now seized up.
At approximately 0610hrs the order was passed to place scuttling charges and destroy R.D. gear instantly. I passed the order on the men's deck to mount all automatic weapons on the upper deck for A.A. This order was carried out efficiently. Shortly afterwards, Sikh was hit and caught fire on the for'ard and men's deck. Many men were killed and badly burned.
At 0710hrs the order 'Abandon Ship' was passed. The ship was being hit very frequently by this time.
At approximately 1100hrs I was picked up by a German 'E' Boat.' Rendell was taken aboard and taken Prisoner of War. He was eventually returned via a prisoner exchange with the Italians on 21 March 1943. In October that year he was asked to present his experiences to fellow Marines:
'At 0720 the abandoned ship started to list to starboard - it was hopeless. The Captain was the last man to leave - 20 minutes after we had gone. We took everyone we could, even those who had been burnt though the salt water did not do them much good and many died. The enemy continued to shell us until 0920hrs even after the ship had gone. I saw a Carley Float which received a direct hit and it just disappeared. I had a shell very near me - about 5 yards away - which exploded and I felt as if somebody had hit me below the belt. After the ship had disappeared the Italian Air Force put in its appearance and began to machine-gun us in the water. About 11 o'clock having been in the water since 7.20 some E Boats started to leave Tobruk and came towards us. We were picked up. Warnings about security and other orders were shouted in the water. It was just the same when the Bismark was sunk. The only thing we can say is 'I cannot say'. I was hooked up by my shorts and hoisted on board and left to dry out on the quarter deck of an E Boat. I was with all the other fellows, one being a Lieutenant who was hit in the head - a piece of skull was missing - and then he was babbling away, therefore people started to sing so that the Germans could not hear him if he said anything secret. One of my opposite numbers took his shirt off and put it over the German Ensign - a very unwise thing to do. It was not over there for long, however.' Having seen further service in Burma, Rendell was appointed to H.M.S. Vanguard for the Royal Visit to South Africa in 1947 and was awarded his Long Service and Good Conduct Medal on 9 December 1950. His B.E.M. was awarded for his services at the Royal Marines Initial Training Centre, and he was presented with his B.E.M. by Major-General Fellowes on 16 October 1957. He finally retired to Exmouth on 25 November 1962. Sold with a copy of the book ‘Massacre at Tobruk’, by Peter C. Smith; and extensive copied research.

Pair: Private F. Crockett, 14th (Swansea) Battalion, Welch Regiment, later Lancashire Fusiliers, who was wounded in action during one of the final large-scale attacks of the Great War British War and Victory Medals (78681 Pte. F. Crockett. Welsh R.) mounted as worn, nearly very fine (2) £50-£70 --- Frederick Crockett attested for the 3rd Battalion, Welch Regiment on 30 September 1916. Transferred to the 14th Battalion, he took part in the final major engagement of the Welch Division on 4 November 1918 which aimed to continue the push east and capture vast tracts of enemy-held territory around the French commune of Locquignol. The attack proved a considerable success, the Division capturing 500 prisoners, 35 guns, and securing the last intact bridge across the River Sambre at Berlaimont, but stubborn German resistance and well-placed machine-gun nests caused heavy casualties. Receiving a gunshot wound the following day, Crockett was evacuated to the 59th Casualty Clearing Station at Awoingt, and spent over a month under treatment in hospital. He was awarded a Silver War Badge on 9 May 1919. Discharged on Christmas Eve 1918, Crockett returned home to 16, Cross Cliff, Glosesh, Derbyshire. He later returned to the Colours with the 2nd Battalion, Lancashire Fusiliers, from 8 November 1921 to November 1929, and was at some point raised Corporal (No. 3438947). Sold with an attractive approximately A5-sized colour certificate of discharge from the Lancashire Fusiliers, mounted upon card.
A Great War ‘1919, Dvina Offensive’ D.S.M. pair awarded to Petty Officer Telegraphist F. S. Stuckey, Royal Navy Distinguished Service Medal, G.V.R. (J29 F. S. Stuckley, P.O. Tel. "M27" Archangel River 10/8/19); British War Medal (J.29 F. S. Stuckey. L. Tel. R.N.) pitting and contact marks, worn, good fine (2) £700-£900 --- 1 of 22 D.S.M.s awarded for the Russian campaign. D.S.M. London Gazette 11 November 1919: ‘For services in Russia.’ Frederick Simeon Stuckey was born in Islington, London, in 1892 and joined the Royal Navy as a Boy Second Class in 1908. He served during the Great War in H.M.S. Dido from 18 July 1914, before transferring to H.M. Monitor 27, on 16 April 1919. Northern Russia - Early Involvement for M. 27 Stuckey served in H.M. Monitor 27 from 16 April to 30 September 1919, arriving with her, as part of Captain E. Altham’s Flotilla, in Northern Russia in June 1919. As part of the Flotilla, M 27 participated in the operations to capture the high ground between Topsa and Troitsa on 29 June, providing heavy bombardment on the Bolo position prior to the land attack, and offering countering fire to the enemy ships. Once the flotilla had swept a path through the minefields they made a base at Troitsa. With the Mutiny in Dyer’s Battalion (7 July) the position came under heavy attack, with the enemy forces advancing to within 1200 yards of the flotilla anchorage and seaplane base, but ‘M. 27 did useful service with her triple 4 inch mounting’ (Bolos & Barishynas, The North Dvina 1919, refers). Advance to Retreat, The August Offensive Due to the failure of Koltchak, and the laborious and dangerous progress of the British combined forces (it had taken weeks to reach Troitsa, having been confronted by endless minefields and a variable river), pressure from the UK prevailed and the British troops were ordered to initiate evacuation. What followed was a large scale British Offensive in the form of several columns of attack, with the aim of capturing the Bolos positions including those of Seltso, Nijni Seltso, Sludka, Lipovets, Chudinova, and Borok amongst others of strategic importance. All land troops were in their assembly positions by 11am on 10 August, some having set out the night before. The plan was a surprise attack to be supported by the naval forces as and when they were required: ‘when trouble was announced at Borok, the Navy soon set to work and banged shell after shell into the village. The result of that shoot was exceedingly beneficial to the infantry, who were not having too pleasant a time in front of Borok. All through the afternoon the guns of the Navy dropped shells on to points selected for special treatment. They enjoyed the hurricane bombardment of Seltso amazingly. H.M.S. Humber, M.27, and M.33 bombarded in conjunction with the shore artillery, and Nijini Seltso was taken. Subsequently fire was lifted 500 yards and another 37 minutes’ bombardment carried out, the latter part being very intensive. Seltso was taken that evening... But the Navy’s work did not end with mere shooting. The coastal motor boats had another little adventure when the attack on Seltso took place, and their Lewis guns did good work amongst the fleeing Bolos. During these operations the flotilla also co-operated with the Army ashore. Thirty-five seaman under Lieutenant M. S. Spalding, R.N., and thirty-nine Marines under Lieutenant C. M. Sergeant, R.M.L.I., were landed to reinforce at the base.’ (ibid). All objectives had been taken by the early hours of the morning of 11 August, and complete surprise had been effected: ‘Thus ended the blow delivered at the Bolshevik forces opposing us. The results were most serious for him. He had lost out of his 6,000 effectives at least 3,700 killed, wounded and missing. Hundreds of Bolos were lost in the woods, and, being without food, must have perished from exhaustion. In guns and equipment his losses were enormous. We captured 18 guns, 50 machine guns, 2,600 rifles, 7 trench mortars.... thousands of rounds... In short, he was entirely crushed as an offensive or as a force at all on the Dvina, for those remnants which remained were thoroughly disorganised and cowed.’ (ibid). In the following month the British Combined Forces effected an organised withdrawal; the major set back - as far as the naval contingent was concerned - was the rise and fall of the river; sand-bars which they attempted to clear by dredging and explosion of depth charges were eventually to prove the downfall of M.27 and M.25, both being too deep of draught and, as a consequence, ‘after removing everything of value and leaving but the bare shells, the two ships that had served us so well were blown up in a most thorough fashion.’ (ibid). Thus was the end of Stuckey’s service in M.27, and after being evacuated with the rest of the Russian Relief Force at the end of September, he returned for service in the U.K., being discharged in 1922. Sold with a photograph of the recipient’s ship M.27; and a booklet regarding her sister ship M.33.
