The medals were released to the recipient’s son in 1983. Provenance: Buckland Dix & Wood, September 1994. D.C.M. London Gazette 28 March 1918: ‘For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty when in charge of the brigade runners in an attack. His work was carried on night and day, and frequently under heavy shell fire, and it was to a great extent due to him that communication was kept up. He showed great initiative and determination.’ Alfred Allerton attested for the 3rd Volunteer Battalion, Prince of Wales’s Own (West Yorkshire Regiment) in 1899, and served with the 2nd Volunteer Service Company in South Africa during the Boer War from March 1901. Awarded the Territorial Force Efficiency Medal under Army Order 95 of 1911, he subsequently served with the 1st/7th Battalion (Leeds Rifles) during the Great War on the Western Front from 15 April 1915 - the date that the 49th Division moved to France for active service. Discharged on 8 April 1916 upon the termination of his period of engagement, he was immediately recalled to the Colours, this time with the Regimental number 5665, and was appointed Company Sergeant Major. In accordance with the re-numbering of all Territorial Forces in early 1917 his regimental number was changed from 5665 to 267579. Allerton was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal for his actions on 10 October 1917 west of Passchendaele in what was known as the Battle of Poelcappelle. The 49th Division was the centre of three divisions, 66th on their right and 48th on their left. 146 brigade was the centre brigade of the division; 1/7 Battaalion West Yorkshires the centre battalion of the brigade. The St. Julien Road was behind them and Passchendaele a mile or two ahead. The terrain was a nightmare of mud, shell holes, destroyed equipment and decaying bodies. The march to the jumping off position itself was a triumph of spirit over adversity. The Battalion War Diary gives the following account: ‘The battalion assembled at La Brique at 9am on 8 October and at 5pm stared to move up no 6 track to the assembly position. The night was very dark and rain commenced to fall shortly before 5pm and continued during the night making the march up to Calgary Grange very difficult, many parts of the track being almost impossible to follow; shortly after leaving the St. Julien road it was found that all the trench grids had been removed for a considerable distance. The head of the battalion reached Calgary Grange about midnight and the whole battalion was in position by 3am on 9 October; the men were all very tired. There was a certain amount of shelling on the way up but no casualties occurred until the battalion reached the assembly position. The barrage opened at 5.20am; the troops were all ready and advanced at once; owing however to the broken ground, which was very wet and soft, and to the water in the Stroombeek, the troops did not keep up to the barrage at first, but I think they got up to it again before reaching the first objective. The companies at first kept rather too much to the right in the direction of Peter Pan but they afterward changed direction and passed Yetta Houses at about the proper distance. Battalion HQ moved forward behind the companies and took up a position in shell holes near Calgary Grange. No news was received from companies until Lieutenant Baldwin MC, Officer Commanding left Company, for second objective came back wounded about 7am and said that his company was held up by machine gun fire and sniper fire from the left as soon as they moved forward through the first objective companies; he told me that he had given orders that 2 platoons should move along to deal with this M.G. but they apparently failed to silence this gun. As I got no reports whatever from the companies I went up to the front line myself near Yetta Houses and found that 3 companies were consolidating there with their left about 100 yards from Yetta Houses. The men were too crowded and I gave orders that the men of one company were to be collected and taken to some trenches further in rear. Two officers were left on duty with my right company, but in the other 3 companies all the officers and the greater part of the senior N.C.O.s had become casualties, this made it difficult to obtain really reliable information. Enemy machine guns and snipers in carefully concealed positions were very active; they continued to fire through the barrage and were able to prevent our advance to the second objective owing to the accuracy of their fire and the difficulty of locating their exact positions. A number of the enemy were killed by our rifle and Lewis gun fire and an enemy machine gun firing from the parapet of a trench on the right and enfilading troops advancing on the left was rushed by one man single-handed whereupon the team ran away; as the man found that he could not work the gun he disabled it. During the morning of 9 October Captain Mander with 2 companies of the 1st/4th West Riding Regiment reported to me and at 2pm I sent one of these companies to Yetta Houses to fill the gap between the left of my line and the right of 1st/8th West Yorkshire Regiment. Small counter attacks were attempted by the enemy about 2pm and 6pm but these came to nothing. At 10.30pm on 9 October I received instructions that a company of the 1st/6th Battalion West Riding Regiment would mop up the area between my line and the most advanced posts. Early in the morning of 10 October, the Officer Commanding the 1st/6th Battalion West Riding Regiment mopping-up company reported that his company had covered all the ground up to the post held by my right company; where Lieutenant Moore informed him that he was in the most advanced position of the Battalion; he therefore considered that he had carried out his instructions. During the night of 9-10 October I sent first my Intelligence Officer and afterwards my Regimental Sergeant Major to ascertain the position in the front line, both were wounded however and I had no one else to send at the time. At 6am on 10 October I sent my Signalling Officer up to the front line; he reported that all was quiet and in order. The first companies of the relieving Battalion of the New Zealand Rifles came up about 9pm and relief was completed about midnight. Enemy shelling was heavy throughout the day of 10 October and during the relief and the New Zealand Rifles suffered a good many casualties.’ Allerton received a hand written note from General Goring-Jones (who was by now recuperating from wounds in England) congratulating him on the award: ‘My heartiest congratulations on your well earned D.C.M. I was very glad indeed to hear that you had got it, for I am sure no man ever earned it better...’ Allerton was discharged ...

J** DANIELS (Circa 1840) RED INDIANS OF NORTH AMERICA TAKEN FROM LIFE AT MR CATLIN'S EXHIBITION Bears inscription verso with title and further inscriptions A Sketch by Daniels and An Original Sketch/ By J Daniels of Liverpool, oil on board 30 x 22.5cm. * Trained as a lawyer, Pennsylvania-born George Catlin (1796-1872) gave up his legal endeavours in order to pursue a career in art and, following an inspiring meeting with a tribal delegation of Plains Indians, Catlin was determined to honour their customs in his art. From 1832, he began to produce a vast collection of paintings and he also amassed some of the tribes' artifacts (including a 7m-high tepee) in order to bring his pictures to life. Catlin travelled to Europe in 1839 to show his so-called `Indian Gallery` in London, Brussels and Paris and was accompanied by some Indians, who were keen to see Europe and to be simultaneously honoured for their traditions. Catlin found that the nine Ojibwas and fourteen Iowan Indians drew larger crowds and they were even invited to Windsor Castle to perform ritual dances and show off their sporting prowess for Queen Victoria. In Paris, Charles Baudelaire was impressed to see that Catlin had captured the proud and noble spirit of the Indian race and, encouraged by the other eager responses of those who attended his exhibitions, Catlin tried to sell the collection of over 600 pictures en bloc to the US Government. However, failing to find an appetite amongst the Government officials for this vast archive of social history, Catlin was obliged to sell it to a collector to defray his mounting debts. It is now to be found, almost entirely complete, in the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, DC. The artist J Daniels is not recorded. There is a slight similarity of palette (though not obviously of technique) with the celebrated Liverpool artist, Williams Daniels (1813-1880). It is conceivable that William Daniels, who led a rather reckless and bohemian life, might have been intrigued by the dignified and composed restraint of these visiting American Indians whose lifestyles were already familiar in English literature to readers of Southey, Wordsworth, Coleridge and others. If it is by William Daniels, the date would place it amongst his earliest works as he did not exhibit his work before 1840.

Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela (South African, 1918-2013)Lock signed 'N Mandela' (lower center)watercolour and crayon 42 x 59.5cm (16 9/16 x 23 7/16in).Footnotes:ProvenanceThe collection of Nelson Mandela (1918-2013);A private collection.On 16th June 1999 Nelson Mandela retired as President of South Africa. What is less well known is that following his retirement he began a new career as a talented artist.'When my father retired as the president, he didn't have much to do. I think for him, art was a good way of expressing himself or trying to come to terms with his history and his (I wouldn't want to say) demons but just coming to terms with his whole life.'Makaziwe Mandela.Mandela began a series of sketches on the subject of Robben Island in early 2002. He painted under the watchful eye of his art teacher Varenka Paschke, who aided with the basic composition of the sketches and method of the colour applications. Around twenty-two sketches were completed that included images he found meaningful, both symbolically and emotionally, during the period of his incarceration on the island.Ten of these original drawings were then reproduced as editions of lithographs 'My Robben Island' in 2002 and 'Reflections of Robben Island' in 2003. The above drawing of his cell lock on Robben Island was produced at this time but was not used for the edition of lithographs, it remained in the collection of the Mandela family until acquired by a private collector.'Today when I look at Robben Island I see it as a celebration of the struggle and a symbol of the finest qualities of the human spirit, rather than as a monument to the brutal tyranny and oppression of apartheid.Robben Island is a place where courage endured in the face of endless hardship, a place where people kept on believing, when it seemed their dreams were hopeless and a place where wisdom and determination overcame fear and human frailty.It is true that Robben Island was once a place of darkness, but out of that darkness has come a wonderful brightness, a light so powerful that it could not be hidden behind prison walls, held back by prison bars or hemmed in by the surrounding sea.In the sketches entitled: My Robben Island, I have attempted to colour the island sketches in ways that reflect the positive light in which I view it. This is what I would like to share with people around the world and, hopefully, also project the idea that even the most fantastic dreams can be achieved if we are prepared to endure life's challenges.'Nelson Mandela, June 2002Nelson Mandela's Robben Island cell No 5 has been visited by presidents, prime ministers and VIPs from across the globe including President Obama (2013) and President Clinton (1998). It has become a place of pilgrimage for those who wish to trace the footsteps of a man who dedicated his life to freedom.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Ridden by Tommy RobbHonda 250cc RC163 Grand Prix ReplicaRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. JML-PMR 006Engine no. MC14E-1072447•Built by Phil Morris•Based directly on Mike Hailwood's RC163•Honda CBR250RR engineThe Honda RC163 won the 250cc World Championship with Jim Redman riding in its debut year of 1962, which also marked the recruitment of Tommy Robb into the Honda Grand Prix Team. The diminutive Ulsterman duly rewarded their faith in him by winning the 250cc class at the Ulster GP, beating champion-elect Jim Redman in the process. In fact, Tommy finished inside the top six in all four World Championship classes contested by Honda that year, a better performance than any of their other riders. Genuine examples of Honda's fabulous Grand Prix-winning multi-cylinder racers of the 1960s have always been out of the financial reach of all but the most wealthy collectors and museums. Generally considered far too precious to parade, let alone race, they are seldom seen in action. The result of this situation has been the growth in recent years of a 'cottage industry' of replica-builders, many of whom use the four-cylinder engine of the modern CB250R sports roadster, a Japan-only model never officially imported into the UK. When first introduced in 1986 as the Type MC14, this little jewel had around 45bhp on tap at 14,500rpm. The series progressed via the CBR250R (MC17 and MC19) to the CBR250RR (MC22) and was last made in 1999, though the engine type (MC14E) remained the same throughout. Water-cooling aside, it is the closest in spirit to Honda's Grand Prix power units of the 1960s. This CBR250RR-powered RC163 replica is one of 25 built by Phil Morris, which were eagerly snapped up by customers worldwide. Frame number '006', it is based on Mike Hailwood's works RC163 (owned by Frank Levy and displayed in the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu) which was borrowed for the purpose. The rolling chassis, cycle parts, tanks, and exhausts are faithful copies of the originals, while the machine also boasts numerous Hailwood-specific details. This is the first example completed and has been kept by Phil as a reference. 'There isn't another as close to the real thing,' he tells us. This RC163 replica has been ridden by former Honda works rider and Grand Prix winner Tommy Robb at numerous major events, and is the No. 2 bike of two similar available to him. The machine comes with a massive history file of invoices and other material.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

MC14E-1062676•Built by John Locksley•Modified by Phil Morris•Honda CBR250RR engineIntroduced for the 1962 season, the four-cylinder 250cc RC163 was little changed from the preceding year's World Championship-winning RC162. It too would enjoy the ultimate success, Jim Redman taking the '250' World Championship that year together with the '350' crown, while Luigi Taveri bagged the '125' title to make it three out of four championships contested for Honda. Only in the 50cc category, won by Suzuki, did they fail. The year 1962 also marked the recruitment of Tommy Robb into the Honda Grand Prix Team, and the diminutive Ulsterman duly rewarded their faith in him by winning the 250cc class at the Ulster GP, beating champion-elect Jim Redman.

This CBR250RR-powered RC163 replica was built by John Locksley and bought directly from him by Phil Morris. Phil has since rebuilt the engine and modified the bike, swapping over the gearchange/rear brake to the 'British' arrangement and fitting new 'period' exhaust pipes. Ridden by former Honda works rider and Grand Prix winner Tommy Robb in numerous major events, this was one of two similar machines available to him. It was on this machine that Tommy had the accident that prompted him to retire from the track. The RC163 has also been ridden by TT star John McGuinness at the 'Festival of 1,000 Bikes'. Offered with history file.
