A well documented Second World War A.F.C. group of three awarded to Wing Commander R. S. Sikes, the Reserve of Air Force Officers Air Force Cross, G.VI.R., reverse officially dated 1942 and privately inscribed, S./Ldr. R. S. Sikes, R.A.F.; Defence and War Medals, these also privately inscribed, W./Cdr. R. S. Sikes, R.A.F., good very fine and better (3) £1000-1200 A.F.C. London Gazette 11 June 1942. Richard Somerville Sikes, who was born in May 1907, and who completed his education at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he joined the Universitys Air Squadron, was appointed a Pilot Officer on the Royal Air Forces Reserve of Officers in June 1929. Advanced to Flying Officer in December of the following year, he transferred to non-flying duties in June 1933, possibly to pursue his other abiding interest - motor-cycling; accompanying newspaper cuttings indicate he was a talented driver and participated in a pre-war Isle of Man T.T. race. Recalled on the outbreak of hostilities, he attended the Central Flying School in July 1940 and was posted to No. 2 Service Flying Training School at Brize Norton as an instructor in August 1940, where he also fulfilled the duties of O.C., Fire Section. Advanced to Flight Lieutenant in May 1941, he removed to No. 17 Blind Approach Training School at Ipswich as Chief Flying Instructor that October, where he was advanced to the acting rank of Squadron Leader and was gazetted for his A.F.C. in the New Year. In June 1942, Sikes was transferred to an appointment in an Air Safety Department at the Air Ministry, gaining advancement to war substantive Squadron Leader in October 1943. Then in the following year he went out to Italy to improve the safety of assorted types of airstrip being used by the Mediterraean Allied Air Force (M.A.A.F.), but not in time to qualify for the Italy Star. Sykes eventually relinquished his commission on the Reserve in July 1954, when he was permitted to retain the rank of Wing Commander. Sold with a quantity of original documentation, including several congratulatory telegrams and letters for the award of his A.F.C.; two or three typed records of service, one bearing an Air Ministry stamp dated 22 September 1942; a letter to Sikes from the Ministry of Aircraft Production, dated 14 August 1943 (I have not yet had an opportunity to discuss C.G.A. with Sir Stafford Cripps ... I found it a most valuable and interesting experience and am very much in your debt); a number of safety reports, including one written by Sikes while employed by M.A.A.F. in Italy in February 1944; a good assortment of career photographs (approximately 25 images), including a large format picture of graduating officers from 67th Flying Instructors Course at the Central Flying School, Upavon, July-August 1940; several newspaper cuttings reporting on his success as a motor cyclist in assorted competitions in the 1930s; and the Air Ministry Private Pilots Certificate and Licence issued to his brother, H. L. S. Sykes, dated 18 August 1931, together with related R.A.F. Certificate of Proficiency, dated 1 January 1932.
A rare Great War period D.C.M. group of nine attributed to Gunner M. Kriz, a Czech Legionnaire Czech War Cross 1918; Czech Revolutionary Medal 1918; Czech Victory Medal 1918; Czech F.I.D.A.C. Medal for Veterans of the Great War; Czech Commemorative Cross for Volunteers 1918-19; Czech Zborov Memorial Medal 1917-47; Czech Bachmac Memorial Medal 1918-48; Austria, Empire, Karl Troop Cross 1916; Great Britain, Distinguished Conduct Medal, G.V.R., unnamed as issued to foreign nationals, this last with refixed suspension claw, generally very fine or better (9) £1200-1500 As is nearly always the case, no verification has been found for this particular award of the D.C.M., but it is worth noting that Abbott & Tamplin state some 290 such decorations were issued to Czech Legionnaires. Miloslav Kriz was born in Marsovicich, in the district of Benesov, near Prague in April 1888, and joined the Austro-Hungarian Army in 1910. Sent out to the Eastern Front on the outbreak of hostilities, he was wounded and taken prisoner at Tschemenovka in July 1915, and signed up for the Czech Legions at a P.O.W. camp near Kiev in October 1916. Assigned to the 4th Company of the 1st Gunner Regiment, he subsequently fought in the famous battle of Zborov in July 1917, and afterwards in the actions at Kungut, Omsk, Nikolsk, Usurrijsk, Perm, and Tagil, in addition to other skirmishes against the Bolsheviks. In February 1918, having been posted to a reserve unit, he participated in the engagements fought during the Siberian retreat, all the way to Vladivostok, and was finally demobilised back in Czechoslovakia in March 1920, having returned there via Canada and Western Europe. Kriz died on 18 March 1937, so presumably his Zborov and Bachmac Medals were issued posthumously at a later date. Sold with his original Ministry of Defence, Czech Legions Office service certificate, bearing an official stamp, signature and the date 18 March 1937, together with a contemporary portrait photograph, in uniform, by F. Wokac of Roznov.
