A prized piece for any WWII militaria collection. Good condition. Historical Description: The 2nd Infantry Division, United States Army, nicknamed the Indian Head Division, due to the design of their black badge with a cartoonlike head of a Native American on a white star. The patch was created by the unitÕs troops during World War 1. The unit landed on Omaha Beach on D Day plus one, June 7, 1944, and were in Germany in October. In early April 1945, the division occupied Hadamar, liberating a psychiatric clinic that was a major killing center for the Nazi euthanasia program for the physically and mentally disabled. The unit provided aid for the remaining inmates. They then liberated Leipzig-Schšnfield concentration camp, a subcamp of Buchenwald, on April 14, 1945, where they interred the uncovered corpses in graves. On the following day, troops liberated Spergau/Zšschen labor education camp in Zšschen. The division continued into Czechoslovakia in early May, taking the city of Pilsen on VE Day, May 8th. The unit remained in Pilsen until they returned to the US on July 10, 1945 to train for a scheduled invasion of Japan. The division was still in training when victory over Japan was announced on August 14, 1945.

The historic group of four awards to Ensign and Lieutenant (later Colonel) Charles Napier Sturt who was severely wounded carrying the Colours of the 3rd Battalion Grenadier Guards at the Battle of Inkermann: Crimea Medal 1854-56, 4 clasps: Alma, Balaklava, Inkermann, Sebastopol (ENSIGN & LIEUT.

Guas.), reverse engraved in cursive script, contact marks, particularly to obverse, otherwise very fine. [4] 36mm diameter of first medal By descent. Charles Napier Sturt was born in London on the 9th of August 1832 and on the 14th of February 1851 he purchased a commission as Ensign and Lieutenant in the Grenadier Guards. The Russian and Ottoman Empires went to war in October 1853 and in February of the following year three battalions of Foot Guards - including Sturt in the 3rd Battalion Grenadier Guards - sailed for Malta to form the nucleus of the British Army of the East. Sturt was present at the Battle of Alma, and was also at Balaklava - presumably as part of the small Guards detachment that occupied a fort in front of Kadikoi in support of the Turks. In the coming days his duties included service in the siege lines before Sebastopol.At the momentous Battle of Inkermann, on the 5th of November 1854, the 3rd Grenadier Guards are renowned for having been the only battalion that carried its colours into battle, and it was Ensign and Lieutenant Sturt who bore the regimental colour. The battle was famously hard fought, and Sturt stood courageously in the midst of intense close quarters fighting in an advanced position until he was shot through the body by a Russian musket. Although severely wounded he did not drop the colour, handing it to a Guardsman before he fell. After being carried to the rear he spent several weeks in the notoriously insanitary hospital at Scutari. When he was partially recovered, and having been promoted Lieutenant and Captain without purchase, he returned to England for service in a home battalion. The following year he returned to the Crimea as Aide-de Camp to Major General James Craufurd, who had been appointed to command the Brigade of Guards in the Crimea. Sturt remained in this role until the conclusion of the war.Following the war he was promoted Captain and Lieutenant Colonel 28th December 1860 and Colonel 9th September 1876*. He was to become Colonel Commandant of the Hampshire Regiment and serve as Conservative MP for Dorchester. He was uncle to Humphrey Napier Sturt, 2nd Baron Alington (see lot 42) and great uncle to The Honourable Gerard Philip Montague Napier Sturt of the Coldstream Guards (see lot 81) and The Honourable Napier George Henry Sturt, RAF, 3rd Baron Alington (see lot 80). Charles Napier Sturt died of bronchitis at Winchester on the 13th of March 1886.* Hart's Army List 1881

London Gazette 04/01/1917Edmund Ernest Wilford was born in London in 1876, and educated at Clifton College. He entered the armed forces as 2nd Lieutenant in the East Yorkshire Regiment in 1896, before transferring to the Indian Army in 1898. Following various appointments in pre-war India he entered France in 1914 as Major & Squadron Commander, 30th Lancers (Gordon's Horse), Indian Expeditionary Force. In November 1915 he was given command of the newly trained 13th Battalion York & Lancaster Regiment (1st Barnsley Pals), taking over from Colonel Joseph Hewitt, who had raised the force.He commanded the 13th in Egypt, whence they sailed on the 29th of December 1915 in the S.S. Adania to join the Suez Canal defences. The battalion returned to France, landing in Marseilles on the 17th March 1916, where their duties included mining operations.On the 1st of July 1916 – the first day of the Battle of the Somme - the 13th York and Lancashire suffered notoriously high casualties, in common with other of the 'Pals' regiments. Wilford was highly regarded both by his men and by his superiors, and his D.S.O., awarded in January 1917, may be presumed to have been in recognition of his services on the Somme.On the 14th of May 1917 he was hospitalised by a wound caused by a fragment from a long-range shell that hit the Battalion H.Q., situated in a railway cutting near Gaverelle Windmill.
