A SECTION OF LAUNCH FROM H.M.S. HAMPSHIRE composed of laminated teak pinned in opposing diagonals with section of wale still attached, wooden and brass plaques inscribed Portion of Launch of H.M.S. Hampshire Lost with Lord Kitchener aboard, 5th June 1916 Ñ 25 x 21in. (63.5 x 53.5cm.) H.M.S. Hampshire was an armoured cruiser built at Tyneside in 1908. Departing from Scapa Flow in poor weather at 4.45pm on the 5th June she rendezvoused with escort destroyers who, in now dreadful conditions, were sent back. Aboard was Lord Kitchener and staff whom the British Government had entrusted on a secret mission to discuss the financial and material difficulties of Russia with the Tsar. At 7.40pm Hampshire hit a mine field laid by U-75 a few days before and took less than fifteen minutes to sink. It was impossible to launch any boats and one warrant officer and thirteen men clinging to a raft were washed up on the coast of Marwick Head the next morning, of these two died almost immediately.
A FINE BUILDER`S PRESENTATION GIN:1FT SCALE MODEL OF H.M. M.G.B. 334, BUILT BY A.M. DICKIE & SONS FOR THE ROYAL NAVY, 1941 modelled by A.W. Penny of Teddington, with carved hull with gold-plated fittings including twin prop shafts, propellers and rudders, detailed superstructure and fittings including full set of main and secondary armament, radio and signal mast, flag locker with flags, fitted inflatable dinghy, mounted on twin columns within original glazed display case with maker`s plates and stand. Measurements including stand Ñ 54 x 51 1/2 x 17 1/4in. (137 x 131 x 44cm.); together with a signed and framed photograph of H.M. M.G.B. 334 on active service, (2) One of a large number of high speed gun boats hastily ordered at the beginning of World War II and constructed between 1940 and 1944, MGB 334 was completed by the Dickie works in Bangor on the 9th October 1941. Measuring 110 feet, she displaced just 72 tons, her 3 Hall-Scott Defenders petrol engines generated 2700bhp giving her a speed of 26.5knots. Forming part of the 16th MGB Flotilla, based at Great Yarmouth, her significant action of the War was her heroic performance in company with her sister, MGB 335, on 10th September 1942 when the pair of them took on a squadron of eleven enemy Schnell Boots off the Dutch coast. Without waiting for back up, both flew at the surprised German flotilla with all guns blazing and engaged them in a furious circling action which culminated in MGB 335 disabled and ablaze, but still firing at the enemy who had formed a semi-circle around their "kill". To the Germans` astonishment, MGB 334 returned to assist her stricken sister and, with guns maintaining a steady fire, proceeded to lay alongside and disembark all but two of the crew, before retreating whilst firing to sink her sister. By this time the Germans had stopped firing in admiration of their foe`s heroics and, anecdotal evidence suggests that they agreed to behave in the same manner should they ever be in MGB 335`s situation. The Commanding Officer of MGB 334, Lt Ernest Michael Thorpe was awarded the DSO and went on to become Senior Officer of the 19th MGB Flotilla. This model, which is of unusually high quality for a wartime production, may possibly have been made to commemorate this action, although whether for her builders or commander is not clear. MGB 334 was struck from the list of active service in October 1945 and broken up.

February, 1915.` - A 1920s Photograph of three ladies (the cataloguer assumes the lady in the foreground to be Anna Tweedie, the daughter of Abbie and Frank Mahin), printed by `The Brompton Press Bureau, Nottingham` (Anna Tweedie (1880-1970) born in Muscatine, Iowa) Abbie Anna Mahin born Muscantine, Iowa 1857, married Frank W. Mahin 1879. New York Times 1.8.1916 The Hague, July 31.- Frank W. Mahin. The American Consul at Amsterdam, and his wife Mrs Abbie Mahin were the only American passengers on board the Koningin Wilelmina (K.W. thereafter). Both were saved. This information was given to The Associated Press by the Zeeland Steamship Company. The Zeeland Company also is authority for the information that all the passengers and crew were saved except the three stokers who were killed. All the passengers are on board a British torpedo boat destroyer, which is proceeding to England. None of the passengers was injured. The first passengers to enter lifeboats were rowed to the North Hinder Lightship. On arriving there it was seen that the K.W. remained afloat, seemingly justifying the hope that the thousands of empty barrels would keep her buoyant. The lifeboat, accordingly, returned to the ship. The K.W., however, began to sink by the head and soon disappeared. The lifeboats with the passengers then returned to the North Hinder Lightship, where they were picked up by a British destroyer, two tugs with doctors, who were on hand to rescue the survivors. This is the third mail steamer the company has lost since the war started. History of the D.A.R. The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution was founded in 1890, women felt the desire to express their patriotic feelings and were frustrated their exclusion from men`s organisations formed to perpetuate the memory of ancestors who fought for independence and it was limited to ladies who "could prove lineal, blood line descent from an ancestor who aided in achieving American independence."

Derrick Greaves (British, b.1927), Study of a Baby Asleep - the artist`s son, Simon, signed lower right "Derrick Greaves", black chalk, 63 x 50cm (24.57 x 19.5in). Derrick Greaves is one of the most important British painters of the last half century. Greaves came to the fore in the 1950s, when he represented Britain at the Venice Biennale along with the other `Kitchen-Sink` social realism painters such as John Bratby, Edward Middleditch and Jack Smith.
John Randall Bratby R.A., L.G., A.R.C.A.(Lond) (1928-1992), Venetian Scene from a Gondola, showing the Doges Palace and St Mark`s Square, Signed and inscribed verso "Priscilla", oil on canvas, 122cm by 91.5cm, unframed. Bratby was born in Wimbledon and studied at Kingston School of Art (1949-50) and the Royal College of Art (1951-4). It was for his generation of young R.C.A. artists that the art critic David Sylvester coined the phrase `Kitchen Sink` to describe the depressing realism of their art. Included in the British Pavilion at the Venice Biennale in 1956, he won first prize in the Junior Section of the John Moores Liverpool exhibition in 1957. He designed the sets for the film The Horse`s Mouth (1957-8). His vigorous realism went out of fashion in the 60s. He made it his task in the 1970s to paint portraits of `names`, from tycoons and businessmen to television stars. Bratby also wrote several novels including the autobiographical Breakdown (1960). He became a Royal Academician in 1971. See illustration
