Rifles), officially impressed naming, edge bruising and contact marks, good fine (2) £600-700 Ex Elson Collection. gibbes Rigaud was born in Richmond, Surrey, the third son of Stephen Peter Rigaud, the Astronomer and Radcliff Observer at Oxford. Commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in 1841; he was promoted to Lieutenant in 1844 and Captain in 1850. With the 2nd Battalion 60th Rifles he served in the 3rd Kaffir War, 1850-53. Promoted to Major in 1858, he sailed to India in that year and was instrumental in quelling a mutiny which broke out on board the troopship which had become becalmed. He then served in the 2nd China War, for which he was mentioned in despatches and received the brevet of Lieutenant-Colonel. Rigaud was promoted to Colonel in 1868 and attained the rank of Major-General in 1873. Retiring on Full Pay to the City of Oxford, he spent his remaining years writing, and received an honorary degree of M.A. from Oxford University.

Six: Corporal D. A.

As verified by accompanying documentation, he served in the B.E.F. from September 1939 until being evacuated in June 1940, and went out to the Middle East in June 1942, in which theatre of war he appears to have been actively employed until the end of hostilities. indeed it is clear from his original Soldier’s Service and Pay Book that he was a qualified parachutist and a member of ‘Raiding Forces’, most probably as a Wireless Operator - he completed No. 1 4 Parachute Course in April 1944, was awarded his ‘operational wings, left breast’ in February 1945, and was further entitled to wear the ‘Badge of the Greek Sacred Regiment’. The same source also confirms that he won a ‘mention’ in June 1945. most probably, therefore, he joined the Raiding Support Regiment (R.S.R.) soon after it was established at the end of 1943, a call for parachute volunteers for ‘duties of a hazardous nature’ gaining around 3,000 applicants from 60 differents regiments and corps. Over the coming months, its members assisted a number of clandestine units in operations in Albania, Greece, Italy and Yugoslavia - in Greece alone its men destroyed 17 bridges, blew up six roads, wrecked hundred of metres of railway line on 18 different occasions, shot up or derailed five trains, blew up five petrol / ammunition dumps, knocked out 150 vehicles, destroyed a dam and killed around 300 of the enemy. read’s entitlement to wear the Badge of the Greek Sacred Regiment, a sister unit, is not without interest, for the R.S.R’s ‘Foxforce’ became embroiled in the Greek Civil War 1944-45, the British losing 250 troops in five weeks of bitter fighting against E.L.A.S. Discharged to the Army Reserve in the rank of Corporal in June 1946, he was serving as an Acting Warrant Officer in the 5th (Cadet) Battalion, Suffolk Regiment in the mid-1950s. sold with a quantity of original documentation, including the recipient’s Soldier’s Service and Pay Book, Regular Army Certificate of Service, a sketch book, a wartime field message form, with pencilled statement in a foreign language (‘If liable to be intercepted or to fall into enemy hands, this message must be sent in cipher ... ‘), and a calendar booklet for 1941-42, which includes a list of officers Read was appointed to train in Morse and wireless operation, suggesting perhaps even earlier participation in clandestine operations. £300-£350

Wilfred G. May, pastel sketch of a girl with blonde hair in suspenders, unsigned, circa 1940, and five others W. G. MAY 1922 -. , (Wilfred Glyndon May BSc FICE) W. G. May is a self-taught watercolourist who also works sometimes in pastels, crayons or oils. His greatest influence is Sir W. Russell Flint, of whose technique he has made a lifelong study. Russell Flint's fluid watercolours and exotic nudes inspire many of May's nude figure paintings, but the artist also specializes in clothed figures - particularly female dancers - and portraits. The occasional flower study, landscape or still life also finds a place among his work. May attained his Civil Engineering degree at University College, London in 1943, after which he became an officer in the Royal Engineers for the remainder of the Second World War, stationed in North Africa. He then worked for the WS Atkins Group until 1981, when he retired in order to become a full-time artist. He has exhibited in galleries in the Epsom and Dorking area, and served for several years as Chairman of the Epsom Art Group, whose exhibitions are held at Bourne Hall, Ewell. In his home village of Tadworth he has been influential in the amateur art world, as an inspirational art tutor and leader of outdoor painting expeditions. W. G. May continues as an art tutor, but gave up his own painting career two years ago due to illness. Most of his earlier work has been sold. What remains is pieces of work never before offered for sale, and some from recent years. h: 14 x w: 12 in.
