A Second World War Group of four comprising 1939-45 Star, Aircrew Europe Star, Pacific Star and War Medal, unnamed as issued, with a posthumous condolence note named to Squadron Leader J. Turton. The medals mounted for wear, and in home-made case with conformation slip mounted to the lid and side. With the recipients Royal Canadian Air Force Pilot's Flying Log Book. A collection of letters to his sister, a framed photograph of the recipient in uniform signed 'Lots of Love Jack'. Photographs of Turton and his colleagues in 197 Squadron, images from his funeral, copies of sketches by Official War Artist Cuthbert Orde, patches, presentation tankard and other items. Jack Turton of Knowles Road, Batley had a successful career in the RAF Volunteer Reserve during the Second World War. Serving with number 124816 he rose to the rank of Squadron Leader (Pilot) before his tragic death at the age of 24 in a flying accident on active service. Jack Turton's log book detail his flying career, primary training began in 1941 at the U.S. Army Air Corps, Lakeland School of Aeronautics, Florida. By Autumn of 1942 he is with NO. 56 OTU flying Hurricanes, he describes flying in a letter to his sister Sally 'Hurricanes are lovely aeroplanes to fly and we do lots of formation which as I have told you before is real good fun'. He moved on to fly Typhoons with 197 Squadron. Initially formed in Egypt towards the end of the First World War, 197 squadron failed to acquire any aircraft so was re-designated as an artillery observation school. Reformed on the 21st November 1942 at RAF Turnhouse in Edinburgh they flew Typhoons from RAF Manston, Tangmere and Hurn. Operational from January 1943, the Typhoon had taken a while to find its role in the RAF, but once its suitability as a ground attack craft had been established this fighter bomber became one of the most important of the Second World War. Turton's log book lists many hours in the Typhoon undertaking 'Standing Patrol' 'Close Escort' and other tasks noting 'Heavy Flak' and on May 17th 1943 'Bounced 12+ 190s Squirted at a 109 Damaged/Broke up Went out on deck what a distance?'. On September 9th 'Fighter Commands Der Tag - Foo!!!'. October 17th 'Huns at Beecmet Viz 300 yds, Much Panic'. October 31st 'Dive Bombed Aerodrome left it burning slight Flak', similarly on November 3rd 'Flew around looking for target bombed docks & left ruined'. A report of events of the 13th May when 197 Squadron supported a Ramrod Operation. 'F/O. Turton held the enemy aircraft in sights and fired a short burst of 1 sec. when about 350 yards away. Strikes were seen on fuselage about the cock-pit and small bursts of flames noticed on the wings presumably the result of incendiary explosive shells hitting. Enemy aircraft banked steeply then dived vertically with smoke pouring from the cockpit. Last seen at about 4,000 feet going straight down'. A number of the pilots of 197 squadron were subjects for Captain Cuthbert Orde (1888-1968), himself a pilot during the First World War who went on to be highly regarded as a War artist, most famously for the sketches of young Battle of Britain pilots and his volume 'Pilots of Fighter Commend: Sixty Four Portraits'. Orde explained how the pilots who sat for him were chosen 'In no case did I choose the sitter myself. He was selected either by Group Headquarters or by the station commander and, generally speaking four or five in each squadron were chosen, the four or five who were considered the most valuable. So it was for them rather in the nature of a mention in dispatches, I merely being the scribe who wrote out the dispatch'. Copies of the sketch of Turton are included with this lot as are images of Pilot Officer Aherns, S/Ldr Holmes D.F.C., Flight Lieutenants Hyde, Elkington and Mulliner from 197 Squadron. Turton left 197 squadron towards the end of 1943, at this time his ability as a fighter pilot was recorded as 'Above Average'. He joined 146 Squadron at Baigachi in India flying Hurricane Mark IIs before moving to 135 Squadron at Mineriya, Ceylon flying Thuderbolts. He continued to fly regularly, entries for January 1945 include 'Dive Bomb Jap Concentration Good Bombing Myohaung' and 'Bomb Jap Positions with Napalm 2x1000lbs Napalm Fire Bombs + Straffe Kangaw Area'. The last entry is on March 1st, this is followed by a rubber stamp 'Killed on Active Service' Having flown hundreds of missions and accumulated over 766 hours Turton played his part against the German's and Japanese in two different theaters of war as a valuable, effective and highly regarded fighter pilot. Jack Turton died at the age of 24 on the 4th of March 1946 when his plane crashed in Malaysia. The accident occurred during takeoff when his Thunderbolt II stalled and crashed when attempting to clear high ground when taking off from Kuala Lumpur in a semi-stalled condition. He is buried in Kuala Lumpur at the Cheras Road Civil Cemetery, grave number 869. The documents and photographs with this lot include a number relating to his funeral and grave with initial cross and later headstone. Incorrectly named on the Batley War Memorial as R. Turton, it took his mother Mrs Edith Turton of White Lee Road in Batley 18 years of campaigning to get the local authority to correct the error. Offered for sale by a direct descendant of the recipient *Condition: Medals as issued, paperwork tatty in places.

Following his death, Lorna, along with architect Rifat Chadirji supervised the completion of this iconic monument. In the 1960s, Lorna taught drawing at Baghdad University's Department of Architecture headed by the prominent Iraqi architect Mohamed Makiya. As a teacher she encouraged her students to sketch structures along the Tigris and exposed her young architects to Iraq's vernacular structures, alleyways and historical monuments. This work cultivated and inspired a generation of architects to consider including Iraqi design alongside modern Western architecture in their designs.Lorna was fascinated by the traditional Iraqi houses found along the banks of the Tigris river, from the bayoot (houses) and the mudhif (reed dwellings). Not long after her arrival in Baghdad, the city underwent a period of modernisation, and many traditional homes were being demolished. Dismayed by the destruction of the city's vernacular architecture due to rapid oil-funded modernisation, Lorna took it upon herself to paint these neighbourhoods and document them before they were erased from living memory. Lorna began by sketching a building then she would return home to start the layout of the painting. She would then return to the building to sketch the finer details and note down the colours. Between 1957 and 1963, she sketched many vernacular buildings and homes.Lorna illustrates Baghdad's architecture in her work through abstract forms of simple lines giving hieratic postures to the figures in their daily lives. And with an earthy colour palette, she celebrates the ancient culture from Mesopotamia using symbols from the Iraqi environment such as palm trees or crescent. The yellowish-sepia tones Lorna employed in the 1960s were also meant to render this architecture in an antiquated and ghostly light, a warning that these were already relics of a bygone era. It's fair to say that she immortalised a Baghdad that is all but forgotten.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A notable campaign group of five awarded to Lieutenant-Colonel P. R. Oliver, ‘The great Peter Oliver of Everest’, 13th Frontier Force Rifles, Indian Army, who was killed in action in Burma on 25 February 1945 - an internationally renowned mountaineer who made a number of notable ascents in the Himalayas he participated in the British Everest expeditions of 1936 and 1938, and his illustrations were used in a number of books on Himalayan mountaineering India General Service 1936-39, 1 clasp, North West Frontier 1936-37 (Capt. P. R. Oliver, 1-13 F.F. Rif.); 1939-45 Star; Africa Star; Burma Star; War Medal 1939-45, with M.I.D. oak leaf, good very fine and better (5) £700-£900 --- Peter Roderick Oliver was born at Monsoorie, India, on 29 August 1907, the son of Major E. W. Oliver, Indian Army, and was educated at Sherborne School and the Royal Military College, Sandhurst. He was commissioned Second Lieutenant in the Indian Army on 1 September 1927, and was posted to the 1st Battalion, 13th Frontier Force Rifles (Coke’s) on 1 November 1928. He served as a Company Officer until March 1930 when he was appointed Quartermaster, retaining that post until attached to the South Waziristan Scouts from December 1933-February 1937. Frank Smythe wrote: ‘For some years he was attached to the South Waziristan Scouts, a force of levies recruited to guards the North-West Frontier, in which he saw much varied service and participated in a number of skirmishes.’ Relinquishing this appointment, he rejoined the 1st/13th as a Company Officer, then officiating Company Commander, serving with them on the North West Frontier from 9 October to 16 December 1937, before being appointed Station Staff Officer, Fort Lockhart (on the North-West Frontier) in February 1939, a post he held until August 1939. Mountaineer Peter Oliver was elected to the Alpine Club in 1933. The foremost mountaineer of his generation, Frank Smythe, wrote: ‘His qualifications included three seasons’ climbing and exploration in the Himalayas, and one season without guides in the Alps. His first climbs were made with E. H. Marriott in the Kanawar Kailas group, Baspa valley; thenceforward part at least of his leaves were spent in the hills. In 1930 he visited the Dhaula Okar range above Dharmsala in the Kngra valley and recorded his experiences in Vol. III of The Himalayan Journal. These ascents, made either alone or with an unskilled orderly, involved both rock climbing and snow and ice work. Like the good mountaineer he was quickly becoming, he records how, when descending a steep snow slope overlaid with loose hail, he took the greatest care to drive his crampons into the firm substrata...’ Oliver made a number of notable ascents in the Himalayas, and participated in the British Everest expeditions of 1936 and 1938. He was a talented artist and his illustrations were used in a number of books on Himalayan mountaineering, and was immortalised as ‘Peter Oliver of Everest’ by Jon Masters in Bugles and a Tiger: ‘Scouts on the move were a magnificent sight. The British Officers were indistinguishable from the men – all brown as berries, all wearing khaki turbans, gray shirts flapping loose outside khaki shorts, stockings and nailed sandal... Several famous mountaineers, including the great Peter Oliver of Everest, had served with Scouts at one time or another.’ Second World War Oliver was appointed GSO III in 5th Indian Division (which was formed in India in 1939) on 17 July 1940, and was advanced to Staff Captain of the 9th Infantry Brigade in the same division on 14 July 1941. He returned to India in March 1942 following active service with the famous 5th Indian Division in the Sudan (September 1940 to January 1941), Eritrea (January to June 1941), and the Western Desert (June 1941 to March 1942). He was promoted to Acting Major in April 1941 and temporary Major in July of the same year. Back in India Oliver went to the Tactical School. His next appointment was to HQ, 2nd Division in June 1943 as DAQMG, at which time he was promoted Acting (afterwards Temporary) Lieutenant-Colonel. Then, in September 1944 he was made second-in-command of the 8th Battalion of his regiment before proceeding to take command of the 9th Battalion in November 1944. The 9th Battalion Frontier Force Rifles was the Machine Gun Battalion of the famous 17th Indian Division and Colonel Oliver led the battalion into Burma in January 1945. As a Machine Gun Battalion, companies were parcelled out to brigades as operations required, leaving the C.O. with undefined duties. As such, Colonel Oliver was attached to Divisional HQ during the advance on Meiktila. The Adjutant of the battalion later wrote: ‘I always thought Peter took over the battalion somewhat reluctantly - his consuming desire was to get into Combined Operations, and I think he found commanding a Machine Gun Battalion something less than romantic.’ Killed in Action Douglas Monghir, another brother officer in Oliver’s Battalion in Burma, wrote: ‘Peter Oliver was cast in the mould of a Boy’s Own Paper hero of the Empire, lean, tanned, tall and handsome... Before he joined us he had a party in the Regimental Centre in Abbottobad and said “I shall either be killed or win a VC”.’ At Taungtha on 25 February 1945 Colonel Oliver met his death in action. The 5th Indian Division was was advancing on the village in a pincer movement and the fighting became confused. Divisional HQ found itself involved in the battle and Oliver, who was then in charge of the Divisional Headquarters Column, went in his jeep to find the leading troops of the Divisional HQ escort, who had taken a wrong turning, and ran into a Japanese ambush: ‘Unfortunately he ran into a party of Japs with an L.M.G. and was killed while returning their fire from the edge of the road. His body was brought back by Subadar Saif Ali and a small party, and he was buried the next morning just outside Taungtha’. According to his obituary in The Journal of the Alpine Club: ‘Together with his driver and his orderly he left the jeep and engaged the enemy with his rifle. The sound of his firing warned the vehicles [that had taken a wrong turning] and by taking a diversion they managed to escape. Having accomplished his purpose, he decided to return, but before he could regain the jeep he was shot in the neck and body by machine gun fire and instantly killed.’ Oliver was posthumously Mentioned in Despatches for Burma (London Gazette 9 May 1946), and is buried in Taukkyan War Cemetery.
