British Empire Medal, to 771102 CORPORAL ERNEST MARMADUKE BOWES, RAFVR, awarded 1943 for his outstanding gallantry on two occasions dealing with burning Typhoons at his RAF base, extremely fine, RARE LONDON GAZETTE 14/03/1944: On two occasions this airman, while in charge of the crash tender, showed outstanding gallantry in his attempts to save the lives of pilots by quelling the flames of burning aircraft. The first incident occurred in August 1943, when two Typhoon aircraft had collided in the air bursting into flames on impact with the ground. The second took place in November 1943, when an aircraft landed from an operational sortie with a bomb which had failed to release; the bomb fell off during the landing run, exploded, and set the aircraft alight. In the face of great danger from exploding cannon shells and petrol tanks Corporal Bower, on both occasions, showed fine courage and devotion to duty by approach-ing, without hesitation, very close to the burning aircraft to enable his extinguisher to reach the flames. His excellent example encouraged the other airmen engaged in the fire fighting and enabled the flames to be subdued in a very short time.

John Landseer A.R.A. (British, 1769-1852) Interior of Les Dehus Dolmen, Guernsey watercolour sketch, heightened with white, signed and inscribed, unframed 11½ x 8½in (29 x 21½cm). * John Landseer was the father of Sir Edward Landseer R.A. John was engraver to King George III and a Fellow of the Society of Antiquities. Les Dehus passage grave lies on the west side of Rue de Dehus in the parish of Vale, Guernsey, an area rich with archaeological history. Les Dehus was described as a `Druids Temple` by John Gosselin of Guernsey in 1813. The site was extensively excavated by the Lucas family of Guernsey between 1837 & 1847. John Landseer was presumably invited over to Guernsey to record stages of the excavation by Frederick Corbin Lukis, and a series of engravings depicting the Dolmen were published in `Prehistory of Northern Europe`. During the excavation deposits of shells, human bones, pottery and jars were discovered.
