Oxford, All Souls College, Mallard Night, a rare early 19th century gold badge, 1801, circular form, with the mallard-bearer holding a staff on which sits a mallard, the reverse with the Lord Mallard and six officers in gown and full bottomed wigs with staves, with a hole for a ring attachment, diameter 3.2cm, approx. weight 37g. C.E. Mallet's 'A History of the University of Oxford' gives an explanation of this event. Mallard night was January 14, when the so called hunting of the mallard took place. This event happens every bone hundred years. This mythical bird or huge duck was supposed to have been found in the early days of the college in the sink or the drains. Another explanation is that it derives from the discovery of a medieval seal for a certain William Malard, whose device was a four legged gryphon. A silver example is in the Montague Guest Collection in The British Museum with a catalogue entry M.G.193/1493.

Ken Loach's debut feature "Poor Cow" is a rather bleak, British 'kitchen-sink' drama. I'm not sure if German artist Fritz Fischer read the synopsis. His use of bright primary colours and pop-art imagery of the Film's two leads Terence Stamp (Dave) and newcomer Carol White (Joy) on this German A1 is certainly memorable and a fine example of variant, country unique artwork.23" x 33" (58.5 x 84 cm)Condition: ExcellentUnrestored, folded (as issued).

2021 Shepherds Hut Transmission: Mileage:The shepherd's hut (or shepherd's wagon) was, since the 15th century and into the 20th century, used by shepherds during sheep raising and lambing, primarily in the United Kingdom and France. They often had iron wheels and corrugated iron tops. Sometimes the sides were also made of corrugated iron.Use of shepherd's huts by farmers reached a peak in the late 19th century and dwindled in the 20th century with the advent of mechanised farm machinery and electric power reaching even remote farms. Their use persisted in some northern counties in the United Kingdom, particularly Westmoreland and Northumberland, where the terrain of the uplands supports little else but sheep farming.There have been numerous different materials used to construct shepherd's huts and after World War I, when metal was in short supply the chassis were often built with wood and the sides built with interlocking planks of larch or spruce. Sometimes the roof covering would be constructed from felt and tar and insulated with lambswool. Cast iron wheels were frequently recycled from other farm machinery. The shepherd's hut was a kitchen, dining room, bedroom, sitting room and storeroom all rolled into one. The designs vary but all were constructed to provide the shepherd with practical and durable accommodation. The old huts had a stove in one corner for warmth and cooking, and a window on each side so the shepherd could see the flock. A hinged stable door, which was always positioned away from the prevailing wind, enabled him to hear the flock, and strong axles with cast iron wheels were used to withstand the constant movement from field to field. This brand new Shepherds Hut which measures 18ft X 8ft is custom made with box section metalwork chassis on a turntable with drawbar. It has stud work walls, floor & ceiling insulated with organic recycled sheeps wool with an engineered oak floor over. It has textured hand painted redwood internal cladding walls with a Tongue and Groove barrel roof, oak featheredge cladding to the exterior and oak double width steps. The owner has bestowed this wonderful Hut with bespoke hardwood doors and windows with five lever locks to the door and hand forged window furniture. For those who like to be cosy on those chilly evenings/days, a delightful ‘Hobbit’ wood burner has been installed to full HETAS regulations. Four double sockets and four vintage LED style wall lights have also been installed with two bulkhead lights to the exterior to finish off that authentic look and feel. A fitted kitchenette with base level units and worktop, including hot water heater, Belfast sink and tap (will need connecting to mains drainable and water supply) has been installed to complete the interior aspect of this traditional Shepherds Hut. The Hut doesn’t include any groundwork, mains connections, or installation, all of which can be quoted separately. Also buyers please not that this Shepherds Hut does not include, any interior props or free standing furniture which can be seen in the photographs or whilst on display. *Delivery within a 50 mile radius (only ‘Standard’ delivery with easy access) £600.00 is being offered by the owner.

Zinnia Patrol Services up to 1 October 1916.’ Amongst the several incidents in which Zinnia played a part during this period was the Easter Rising / Roger Casement affair in April 1916, when Zinnia was closely involved in the capture of the German steamer Aud, which was disguised as a Norwegian vessel. D.S.M. Second Award Bar London Gazette 11 August 1917: ‘For services in action with enemy submarines.’ The recommendation states: ‘H.M.S. Zinnia. Action with enemy submarine 4 May 1917. As Gunlayer with A.B.

G. F. W. Wilson, R.N., was awarded the D.S.O. for the same action. H.M.S. Zinnia Following commissioning in 1915, Zinnia joined the First Sloop Flotilla, based at Queenstown. On 28 March 1916, Zinnia spotted the German submarine U-44 63 nautical miles ESE of the Fastnet Rock, shooting twice at the submarine, which dived away unharmed, Zinnia's shells falling short. On 29 March, U-44 torpedoed the sloop Begonia, which did not sink. Zinnia and sister ship Snowdrop were ordered to go to Begonia's aid, and the damaged sloop was towed into Queenstown. On 20 April 1916, Zinnia came across the German submarine U-69, south-west of Ireland, just after U-69 had sunk the steamer Cairngowan, forcing the submarine to dive away, and dropped two depth charges, but U-69 was unharmed. On 22 April 1916, Zinnia, and also H.M.S. Bluebell but from another direction, both hastened to the assistance of H.M.S. Lord Heneage, which ship had intercepted the Aud, a German vessel disguised as a Norwegian steamer, which had been attempting to rendezvous with Sir Roger Casement in Tralee Bay to deliver a consignment of arms for an imminent uprising in the southwest. She was being escorted to Queenstown when Lieut. Karl Spindler scuttled her. On 23 October 1916, the sloop Genista was torpedoed and sunk by the submarine U-57 120 nautical miles west of Cape Clear Island. Zinnia and Camellia were ordered out from Queenstown to pick up her survivors, but at first failed to find them, and were joined by the cruiser Adventure. Eventually, 12 survivors were picked up. On 8 March 1917, Zinnia encountered a German submarine, possibly U-53, off Fastnet, and opened fire, claiming an apparent hit on the submarine. On 28 March 1917, Zinnia was escorting the tanker Gasfa 15 nautical miles out of Queenstown when the submarine U-57 torpedoed and sunk Gasfa. Zinnia retaliated with two depth charges, which the submarine's crew considered ‘uncomfortably close’, but the submarine escaped. Seven of Gasfa's crew were killed in the attack, with the remainder rescued by Zinnia. On 3 May 1917, the German submarine U-62 torpedoed the British steamer Frederick Knight West of Ireland. Zinnia came to Frederick Knight's assistance, forcing the submarine to submerge, but could not stop the submarine torpedoing the merchant ship again, sinking Frederick Knight. The next day, U-62 stopped the Danish barque Jörgen Olsen, and attempted to sink the sailing vessel with gunfire. Zinnia again interrupted U-62, opening fire and forcing the submarine to submerge. Jörgen Olsen remained afloat and was towed into Berehaven. On 7 June 1917, the Q-ship Pargust was on patrol off the south coast of Ireland when she was torpedoed by the German submarine UC-29. Part of Pargust's crew abandoned ship as a ‘panic party’, in order to tempt the submarine to surface, which UC-29 did after thirty minutes. Pargust then opened fire, sinking UC-29. Zinnia, the sloop Crocus and the American destroyer U.S.S. Cushing came to the assistance of Pargust which was kept afloat by her cargo of timber, with Crocus towing Pargust into Queenstown, with Zinnia and Cushing in escort. On 20 August 1917, Zinnia collided with the American destroyer Benham, badly damaging the American ship, which was towed into Queenstown by Zinnia, which remained part of the First Sloop Flotilla at the end of the war. Clifford Joseph Campbell was born at Lancaster on 6 January 1879, and joined the Royal Navy as a Boy 2nd Class aboard H.M.S. Northampton on 15 October 1896, advancing to Boy 1st Class on 29 January 1897.

He received his L.S. & G.C. medal aboard H.M.S. King Edward VII, in which battleship he served from August 1911 to December 1913. At the outbreak of war in 1914 he was serving aboard the battleship Mars where he remained until the ship was paid off at Belfast in February 1915, being subsequently disarmed and laid up in April 1915. After a brief spell at Pembroke I he joined Zinnia on 15 September 1915, and served in her, based at Queenstown, until April 1919. He was demobilised on 21 January 1920.
