Six: Captain A. H. Waddy, Bedfordshire Regiment, later Royal Flying Corps and Royal Air Force, who first enlisted under the Tricolour in August 1914 as a Private in the French Army 1914-15 Star (2.Lieut. A. H. Waddy. Bedf. R.); British War and Victory Medals (Lieut. A. H. Waddy. R.A.F.); France, Third Republic, War Commemorative Medal 1914-18, bronze; Inter-Allied Victory Medal 1914-19, bronze; Croix du Combatant Voluntaire 1914-18, bronze, good very fine and better (6) £400-£500 --- Alexander Harry Waddy was born at Regent's Park, London, on 25 April 1896, the son of Harry Waddy, a member of the London Stock Exchange. Educated at Cheltenham College from 1910-13, he crossed the Channel to France a short while later in order to improve his language skills. His life at this time was carefully detailed by The Evening Sentinel on 30 August 1934: 'At the outbreak of the war, he was in France, studying French, and, with a patriotism that was typical of his character, he at once joined the French Army as a private.' With the declaration of war on 29 July 1914, a call was made for foreigners residing in France to support their adopted country. While many would have preferred direct enlistment in the regular French Army, the only option immediately available was that of the Foreign Legion. On 3 August 1914 a reported 8,000 volunteers applied to enlist in the Paris recruiting office of the Legion. The speed of the German Advance in accordance with the Schlieffen Plan caught the French Army heavily by surprise, not least the enemy proximity to Paris in early September 1914. Detailing every available man to the defence of the city and famously utilising over 600 taxicabs to carry soldiers from Les Invalides to Nanteuil-le-Haudouin, some fifty kilometres away, the German sweep was halted - something which the French later termed 'The Miracle on the Marne'. With the front temporarily stabilised, Waddy returned to England and was appointed to a commission in the Bedfordshire Regiment on 11 May 1915. Posted to France from 7 July 1915 with the 1st Battalion, Bedfordshire Regiment, Waddy arrived in the aftermath of the defence of Hill 60 - likely as a replacement - and was later moved south in defence of the Somme. In 1916, the 1st Battalion witnessed heavy action at High Wood and Guillemont and took part in the Battles of Morval and Le Transloy. Transferred to the 7th Battalion, Waddy was mentioned in the Battalion war diary of 5 October 1917 during practise exercises near Irish Farm and Canal Bank, in preparation for his unit going into the line during the Battle of Passchendaele. The war diary later adds: 'The mud was very bad and duck-boards few. The men suffered considerably from cold and wet. The line consisted of shell holes filled with water.' Keen to leave the life of an infantryman, Waddy transferred to the Royal Flying Corps on 5 February 1918 and was posted to 21 Squadron. Qualifying Temporary 2nd Lieutenant (Observer) 5 April 1918, he was sent to Armaments School at R.A.F. Uxbridge for Pilot training; the war subsequently ended before Waddy had the opportunity to take on the Luftwaffe and he relinquished his commission on 9 February 1919 after taking employment as managing director of T. R. Boote Ltd, Waterloo Potteries (Tile Manufacturers), Burslem. Married to a local girl in 1918, Waddy soon became a popular and successful industrialist. Appointed Lieutenant in the 5th Battalion, North Staffordshire Regiment (Territorial Army) on 28 December 1928, he was placed in the command of "C" (Burslem) Company and set up home at Standon House, Standon. Beset by a sudden illness, Waddy died a few years later at the North Staffordshire Royal Infirmary on 29 August 1934, his loss much lamented by his family and workforce of over 250 people: 'He was a soldier of ability and a man of understanding, and he has helped, by his knowledge, fairness and grit, to keep the flag flying' (The recipient's obituary, refers). Waddy's premature death at the age of 38 years proved the first of many tragedies for his family; both of his sons died during the Second World War, the first, Midshipman Roger Latham Waddy, R.N.V.R., being killed whilst piloting a swordfish aircraft on a depth-charge practice sortie on 16 July 1941, the second, Major Alexander Peter Harry Waddy, being killed in action at Arnhem on 18 September 1944 whilst leading "B" Company, 3rd Battalion, 1st Parachute Brigade, in an attempt to destroy a panzer using a 'Gammon' bomb. Sold with copied R.A.F. Service Record, newspaper entries, and a photographic image of the recipient in officer’s uniform.

A small blue mosaic tile that was previously part of John Lennon’s swimming pool at his Kenwood residence in Surrey. This was the home of John, Cynthia and son Julian Lennon from the end of July 1964 until 10th December 1968 when it was put up for sale following John and Cynthia’s divorce on 8th December. The tile measures approximately 3.5cm x 2.5cm (1.5 inches x 1 inch). The condition is very good minus. Provenance: the tile comes with a letter from the person who obtained it. It reads as follows. “My name in Rolf Hammarlund and I am a music journalist. In May 2000 my friend and I travelled around London and also around the south of England carrying out research for one of my TV programmes about The Beatles. One of the locations I visited was St. George’s Hill in Weybridge which is south of London and is where John Lennon lived between 1964 to 1968 in his house Kenwood. When my friend and I visited we were very lucky because the young American family who recently had bought the house were at home and welcomed us to walk around in the garden to take photos. We discovered that the new American owners had just torn out John’s old swimming pool to replace it with a new one. We went down into the excavated area where the pool had been and saw that a few of the original blue mosaic tiles from the pool at Kenwood were left lying on the floor so we asked if we could keep them. They gave us permission to do so and we started digging like an archaeological expedition and found a few more. One of these small blue mosaic tiles from the original pool at Kenwood is illustrated below. Also illustrated below are the following: two photographs of my friend in the excavated area of swimming pool holding the blue mosaic tile in his hand, a picture of myself outside of Kenwood, a photo of John Lennon’s son Julian in the pool and a photograph of John Lennon sunbathing next to the pool at Kenwood”
