A Second War B.E.M. awarded to Volunteer R. Juby, Home Guard, for his gallantry in attempting to save the life of the pilot of a Handley Page Hampden that had crashed and caught fire on the Nottinghamshire/Yorkshire Border on 27 September 1940 British Empire Medal, (Military) G.VI.R., 1st issue (Voltr. Richard Juby. H.G.) good very fine £240-£280 --- B.E.M. London Gazette 22 January 1941: ‘For gallant conduct in carrying out hazardous work in a very brave manner.’ The original Recommendation states: ‘On 27th September 1940 an aircraft from the Royal Air Force Station at Finningley struck the ground near Misson and immediately burst into flames. The pilot, after being thrown from his seat, was caught by his parachute harness and remained hanging from the aircraft. Volunteer Juby, who immediately ran to the aircraft when it crashed and burst into flames, cut away the parachute harness and freed the pilot. He then carried him to the windward side of the aircraft. The pilot was later taken by ambulance to hospital but he died from the injuries he had sustained in the accident. Volunteer Juby disregarded personal safety and danger when he approached the burning wreckage and entered the flames to cut away the pilot's harness. Had it not been for the injuries which he had received in the accident, there is little doubt that Volunteer Juby's prompt action would have saved the pilot's life.’ Richard Juby served during the Second World War with the 3rd Battalion, Doncaster Group, Home Guard, and was awarded the British Empire Medal for attempting to rescue the crew of a Handley Page Hampden from 106 Squadron that had crashed near the village of Misson on the Nottinghamshire/ Yorkshire border at 21:25 hours on 27 September 1940. Sold with copied research.

CHARLES RENNIE MACKINTOSH (1868-1928) FOR MISS CRANSTON’S ARGYLE STREET TEAROOMS CHAIR, 1898 oak, with original drop-in rushed seatDimensions:48cm wide, 99.5cm high, 43cm deepProvenance:Provenance: Private Collection, GlasgowNote: Literature: Billcliffe, R. Charles Rennie Mackintosh: The Complete Furniture, Furniture Drawings & Interior Designs, Cameron & Hollis 2009, pp.62 and 63, 1898.45, ‘Chair with curved top rail for the Argyle Street Tea Rooms’ (with later horsehair seat), illustrated. Note: In 1898, early in the career of renowned Scottish architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868-1928), entrepreneur Catherine Cranston - known simply as Miss Cranston - commissioned him to furnish her new rooms at her tearooms on Argyle Street, Glasgow. Miss Cranston was to be an important patron for the young architect, who came to rely on a relatively small number of patrons throughout his career. The commission afforded Mackintosh a new freedom to experiment, whilst leading to further projects, including the Ingram Street Tea Rooms (1900) and the Willow Tea Rooms (1903). The work at Argyle Street followed on from his previous work at Miss Cranston's new Buchanan Street Tea Rooms, which had been conceived two years earlier in 1896, in collaboration with designer George Walton who designed the furnishings. In this new undertaking, however, Mackintosh found himself in a role reversal, being fully in charge of the furnishings whilst Walton was preoccupied with designing the interiors. Walton had just opened his new offices in London and his involvement with new projects in the south probably curtailed his ability to take on the commission of designing all of the furniture for Miss Cranston's new venture. The furniture Mackintosh designed for these new rooms exhibit a new, more robust evolution of his repertoire and established a style for much of his work up to 1900. Combining English Arts & Crafts and Scottish vernacular design, Mackintosh produced furniture in a bold and simple aesthetic which marked him out from his contemporaries. The distinctive furniture he produced was also employed to define and separate the rooms as designed by Walton. Their collaboration suggested that they were ‘moving away from each other’. The rather delicate refinement of Walton’s scheme was not emulated by Mackintosh, and his furniture for the Argyle Street Tea Rooms demonstrates a far more robust manner. All the pieces are made of oak with an emphasis on broad, unmoulded planes, the timber being clear-varnished or, more usually, dark-stained and waxed as in the present example. The use of broad laths to the backs and subtle tapered elements to the top rail and legs enliven the rectangular blocked outline. Used at one end of the Luncheon Room about twenty chairs of the present design appear in contemporary photographs, of which five are known to survive. Mackintosh went on to develop this chair design for a chair at Ingram Street. Related chairs, probably produced as replacements but with design differences including a kidney-shaped handle, were produced later but it is thought not with Mackintosh’s involvement. The Argyle Tea Rooms closed in 1920, and much of the furniture was dispersed.
