Maxwell was discharged for service with the Royal Flying Corps in May 1917, and posted to Egypt for pilot training. He qualified as a pilot and advanced to Flying Officer in November 1917. Maxwell was posted for operational flying with 72 Squadron at Basrah, but he was subsequently transferred for service with 30 Squadron in March 1918. The following extracts from The History of No. 30 Squadron, Royal Air Force by Major J. Everidge, R.A.F., published in 1919, give a flavour of Maxwell’s operational flying against Turkish forces from March 1918 - March 1919: ‘Period March 17th to 23rd, inclusive... Reconnaissances - Fourteen, of which eight were photographic, have been carried out. A reconnaissance was carried out on the 18th by Lieut. Maxwell (Pilot) and Lieut. Lindop, M.C.

Maidan Bani - Khalian Road. Nothing seen. Sheik Maidan, nothing seen. Halabja - What appeared to be about 12 shelters (rather less than the size of an E.P. tent) were seen on west side of town, and three white tents about half mile further out. No movement. Time taken, 2 hours 15 minutes..... On the 12th [October] over the Taza area by Lieut. Maxwell (Pilot) and Lieut. Yeates (Observer) escorted by Lieut. Jenoure (Pilot) and Lieut. McNab (Observer) reported the Tauq Bridge intact. 11 small tents were seen south of the town. At Tazah 18 large shelters were seen, also 10 small tents and 150 men.

Maxwell and McNab landed on Kirkuk Aerodrome one day too soon [it was captured by the British the following day] and were greeted by a hot fire from troops holding it. They were lucky enough to take off again, but not before the enemy had scored a large number of hits in their machine.... Bushire, January 9th to 25th, 1919.... On the 15th Major Everidge, with Corpl. Helps arrived. Lieuts. Fielden and Maxwell were detained at Ahwaz owing to the latter’s machine having magneto trouble. Lieuts. Fielden and Maxwell arrived with Corpls. Cagliari and Tidmarsh on the 16th... Bombing - On the 27th [January] five machines bombed Robatak.

Information received that Nasir Diwan’s son was very badly wounded during the first bomb raid. Pilots on each occasion were Major Everidge, Capt. Adams, Lieuts. Hawkins, Maxwell and Carryer.... Resume of ‘C’ Flight, Bushire, March 2nd to 8th, 1919.... Whilst machine-gunning at a low height, Capt. Adams was seen to crash very badly. Lieut. Bull went down to help him and touched the ground 12 yards from the other machine. The ground was found very rough and impossible to land on and he was obliged to take off again. He was very heavily fired on by a number of Persians at point blank range and his machine was badly shot about. He reported the engine of Capt. Adam’s machine was buried in the ground and the under carriage and left planes were wiped off, and also that there was no possibility of Capt. Adams being alive. March 7th - Lieuts. Hawkins and Maxwell, with A/Ms. Porter and Judge, flew over the crash taking photos of it and saw the dead body of Capt. Adams lying close by it.’ After the cessation of air operations in Persia, Maxwell returned to Basrah, Mesopotamia and went on to take part in the Kurdistan operations. He later served with 63 Squadron in Iraq before travelling to the UK in July 1919 in order to be repatriated to South Africa. Maxwell transferred to the Unemployed List in December 1919, and volunteered for service with the outbreak of the Second World War. He was employed on recruiting duties, November 1939 - September 1945, having advanced to Temporary Major in November 1940 (the King’s Commendation Protea Emblem was authorised in the Government Gazette 31 December 1943, his Efficiency Decoration having been authorised in April of the same year).

A fine Great War ‘Western Front’ V.C., D.C.M. group of five awarded to Sergeant A. Loosemore, 8th Battalion, Duke of Wellington’s (West Riding Regiment), for his great gallantry south of Langemarck on 11 August 1917: after two members of his section had been killed beside him, he fought with every means at his disposal - machine-gun, bomb, rifle and revolver - to thwart a determined counterattack which appeared to many as though it must succeed, and accounted for about twenty of the enemy as well as a number of snipers, before returning to his original post with a wounded comrade under heavy fire. Remarkably, Loosemore’s V.C.-winning exploits came the day after he was reputed to have shot down with his Lewis gun a German fighter that was engaged in a ‘dog-fight’ with a British aircraft, this saving the British pilot’s life. Subsequently awarded the D.C.M. for his gallantry with the 1st/4th Battalion at Zillebeke during a raid on 20 June 1918 - ‘a highly successful operation, 11 prisoners and one Machine Gun being captured and numerous casualties being inflicted on the enemy’ - Loosemore was severely wounded by machine gun fire at Villers-en-Cauchies on 11 October 1918, resulting in his left leg being amputated. He never fully recovered from his war wounds, and died as a result of tuberculosis in 1924 Victoria Cross, reverse of suspension bar engraved ‘No. 15805 Pte. A. Loosemore. 8th. Bn. West Riding R.’, reverse of Cross engraved ‘11. Aug. 1917.’; Distinguished Conduct Medal, G.V.R. (15805 Sjt: A. Loosemore. V.C. 1/4 W. Rid: R.); 1914-15 Star (15805. Pte. A. Loosemore. W. Rid. R.); British War and Victory Medals (15805 Sjt. A. Loosemore. W. Rid. R.) recently re-mounted, but together with the original court-mounted riband bar, and housed in a contemporary Hunt & Roskell, London, case, traces of lacquer, light pitting and contact marks, nearly very fine and better (5) £180,000-£220,000 --- Provenance: Sotheby’s, May 1969 (when sold by the recipient’s son). 32 men received both the Victoria Cross and the Distinguished Conduct Medal during the Great War; of these, the vast majority (unlike Loosemore) received the D.C.M. prior to the V.C.; consequently Loosemore’s D.C.M. is just one of a handful to be named with the post-nominal letters ‘V.C.’ V.C. London Gazette 14 September 1917: ‘For most conspicuous bravery and initiative during the attack on a strongly-held enemy position. His platoon having been checked by heavy machine-gun fire, he crawled through partially cut wire, dragging his Lewis gun with him, and single-handed dealt with a strong party of the enemy, killing about twenty of them, and thus covering the consolidation of the position taken up by his platoon. Immediately afterwards his Lewis gun was blown up by bomb, and three enemy rushed for him, but he shot them all with his revolver. Later he shot several enemy snipers, exposing himself to heavy fire each time. On returning to the original post he also brought back a wounded comrade under heavy fire at the risk of his own life. He displayed throughout an utter disregard of danger.’ D.C.M. London Gazette 3 October 1918: ‘When out with a fighting patrol he displayed conspicuous gallantry and powers of leadership when his officer was wounded and the platoon scattered by hostile bombs. He rallied the men and brought them back in order, with all the wounded, to our lines. On a subsequent occasion he handled his platoon with great skill and complete disregard of his own danger under heavy machine-gun fire, and it was owing to his determination and powers of leadership that the platoon eventually captured the enemy post which they were attacking.’ Arnold Loosemore was born in Sharrow, Sheffield, on 7 June 1896, the son of George Loosemore, a gardener at the Sheffield Central Cemetery, and his wife Selina, and the sixth of seven brothers, all of whom served during the Great War. Educated at Clifford School in Sheffield, he was employed as a farm-worker at Fulwood, Yorkshire when War was declared in 1914, and immediately volunteered. Turned down for enlistment owing to his frail physique, he took a job with a coal merchant in order to build up his strength, and successfully attested for the York and Lancaster Regiment on 2 January 1915. He transferred to the Duke of Wellington’s (West Riding Regiment) on 10 March 1915, and served with the 8th Battalion during the Great War in the Gallipoli theatre of War from 11 September 1915. Departing Turkey in December 1915, Loosemore returned to England, before being posted to France, arriving on the Western Front on 3 July 1916 as a Lewis machine-gunner. V.C. Action - Langemarck, 11 August 1917 On the night of 7 August 1917, the 8th Battalion Duke of Wellington’s - as part of the 32nd Brigade - entered the front line north of Ypres at Steenbeek, just south of Langemarck. Their route to the front, via Poperinghe, Elverdinghe, and Flamatinghe, had provided a harsh initiation with torrential rain and enemy shells marking their every step. After four days ‘holding the line’, on 11 August 1917 the battalion was tasked to mount an attack on German Positions on the east bank of the Steenbeek, in preparation for the next British attack on Langemarck. The battalion’s contribution was a minor one, but was memorable for the exceptional courage and great gallantry displayed by a 21 year-old private soldier. Loosemore, a Lewis gunner in No. 12 Platoon, was one of fifty men from “Y” Company assigned the task of capturing a German blockhouse known, appropriately, as Wellington Farm. The attack went in at daybreak, after a night spent sheltering in shell-holes, up to their knees in mud. Company Sergeant Major Miles described it thus: ‘We advanced on the farm in extended order, but went too far ahead and had to retire to keep in touch with the company on our left and right. It was then that a very brave act was committed by a Lewis gunner of ours named Loosemore; he certainly saved a very awkward situation. He stayed in a shell-hole and covered our retirement with a Lewis gun. Well, this gun got put out to action, but Loosemore hung on and kept the advancing Germans at bay with this revolver. When that gave out, he threw his disabled gun at the remaining Germans and came back to where we had consolidated, a truly brave act.’ Miles reported the young soldier's gallantry to his company officer, Second Lieutenant E. Wood, who gathered eyewitness statements to support the V.C. recommendation. Included among them was the testimony of Sergeant Ridgeway, another member of 12 Platoon, who described how Loosemore held off ‘a great number’ of the enemy, enabling the company to consolidate ‘in front of the Boche wire’: ‘He displayed great courage when attacked by a party of German bombers who put his Lewis gun out of action. He then threw two German stick bombs at the said bombers and using his revolver, he killed four Germans and when he came in to where our company had dug in under heavy machine [gun] fire, he brought out a wounded comrade. During the day, while we still held to our new position, he sniped off five of the enemy.’ Writing to Loosemore’s parents, Second Lieutenant Wood described their son as the ‘bravest lad I have ever seen’ and said ‘his magnificent gallantry undoubtedly saved the whole of the company.’ Such claims were not exaggerated. After two members of this section had been killed beside him, Loosemore had fought with every means at his disposal - machine-gun, bomb, rifle and revolver - to thwart a determined counterattack which ap...

A Great War ‘Ypres 1916’ D.C.M. group of five awarded to Private G. M. Wright, 20th Canadian Infantry Battalion, who, despite being wounded in seven places by a bomb, picked up his mortally wounded officer and carried him back to our lines under continuous fire Distinguished Conduct Medal, G.V.R. (412874 Pte. G. M. Wright. 20/Can: Inf: Bn:); 1914-15 Star (412874 Pte. G. M. Wright. 20/Can: Inf:); British War and Victory Medals (412874 Pte. G. M. Wright. 20-Can. Inf.); France, Third Republic, Croix de Guerre 1914 1917, with bronze Palme, light contact marks, otherwise better than very fine (5) £1,000-£1,400 --- D.C.M. London Gazette 27 July 1916: ‘For conspicuous gallantry. During a raid on the enemy the officer in charge of the party fell mortally wounded on the enemy’s parapet. Private Wright, although wounded in seven places by a bomb, picked up his officer and carried him back to our lines under continuous fire. He then had to be himself carried away on a stretcher.’ The above incident took place at ‘The Bluff’, near the Ypres-Comines Canal, on the night of 27-28 June 1916, as recorded in the battalion war diary: ‘Our raiding party deployed at 12 midnight close to enemy parapet - the enemy had a working party out and was very alert - our party was observed and fired on - Pte Burns being killed - the party then prepared to advance and bomb. The enemy then opened up a heavy rifle fire and commenced to bomb. About this time Lieut. Anderson was killed and the party, knowing nothing of this, were waiting his signal to enter the trench - the delay thus caused made it necessary for the party to retire, this was done and they returned to our trench, only after considerable difficulty and delay - Pte Wright, though wounded himself, carried in Mr Anderson’s body - it was impossible to recover Pte Burns’ body - Pte Baker is missing. Pts Andrus and Mitchell were wounded. This experience only confirms the belief that such enterprises cannot hope to be successful without a great deal of preparation. The enemy line along our front is apparently strongly held and sentries very alert.’ French Croix de Guerre London Gazette 14 July 1917. George Mervyn Wright was born at Picton, Ontario, on 25 July 1894, and enlisted there for the 39th Battalion on 1 February 1915. He transferred to the 20th Battalion, C.E.F. on 31 December 1915, and served in France from 1 January 1916. After being wounded near Ypres on 27/28 June 1916, he was evacuated in Hospital Ship St Denis to Folkestone and then transferred to 1st Northern General Hospital, Newcastle-on-Tyne, for treatment. He was discharged ‘medically unfit’ due to wounds at Toronto on 5 March 1919. Sold with copied research including attestation papers, war diary extracts and gazette notices.

He was commissioned Second Lieutenant on 30 May 1917, and was posted to the 7th Service Battalion, Lincolnshire Regiment. He led ‘C’ Company in action during the First Battle of Passchendaele on 12 October 1917, and was advanced Captain on 25 October of that year. He was captured and taken Prisoner of War on 24 March 1918- the Battalion History gives the following account: ‘The pressure of the enemy on Demicourt and Doignies on the night of 22-23 March had, as was anticipated, its effect on the 7th Lincolnshire, holding Hermies, for that Battalion early on the 23rd observed the enemy massing in the valley north and north-west of the latter village. Hermies was heavily shelled, the trench system round the eastern and northern exits escaped with only slight shelling. During the morning headquarters ordered the evacuation of Hermies. The Commanding Officer (Lieutenant-Colonel Metcalf) with A and C companies, withdrew at 1.45; he was followed at 2.15 p.m. by Major Peddie with B and D Companies. At 2 p.m. the enemy had broken into the Hermies line south of Graincourt Road (Lurgan Switch), and there was a gap from south of the road, which was filled by one platoon of D Company under Second Lieutenant Dunn. Hermes was now beset by the enemy on three sides. His troops poured down the Graincourt and Demicourt roads and up the valley north-west of the village. On the Graincourt road flank, Second Lieutenant Dunn with his platoon was soon engaged in a stiff rearguard action, a platoon of B Company being similarly engaged on the Demicourt road flank. Captain Carr and Captain Wotherspoon and Second Lieutenant Hommert, with about sixty other ranks of B Company, who had taken cover in the Quarry, were cut off and surrounded and presumably captured. After falling back from Hermies, the 7th Lincolnshire formed up in column of route at the eastern end of Bertincourt, A and C Companies being detailed to move to the north-eastern end of Velu Wood.’ Wotherspoon was repatriated after the end of the War on 29 November 1918. He saw further service as a regular soldier with the Royal Scots, and then during the Second World War, first as Acting Major from 12 December 1940 with the South African Technical Services Corps, having responsibility as Officer Commanding at various stations such as at the Bomb Assembly and Shell Fill Depot Camp at Pretoria. He was confirmed in this rank on 1 January 1941, and in 1944 he served as Officer Commanding at the No. 96 T.S.C. Camp at Lenz. He died following a coronary thrombosis in Johannesburg on 13 April 1954.

‡ JOHN PETTS important stained glass installation in two sections with bespoke aluminium stand - abstract, signed and dated 1963, 127 x 228cms (incl. inner frame)Provenance: private collection since 2008, purchased from British Gas when located at Helmont House, Churchill Way, CardiffAuctioneer's Note: We have sold many works by the versatile John Petts over the years but most of those have been paintings or prints which are seen most regularly at auction rooms. However, perhaps ironically, John Petts' most famous work is not a painting but is a stained glass installation from 1963. On 16th September 1963, a bomb exploded in the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama. Planted by a splinter group of the Ku Klux Klan, it killed four young girls who were attending Sunday school – Cynthia Westley, Carol Robertson, Denise McMair and Addie-May Collins – and seriously injured many more. The nation was shocked and this incident became a catalyst for the Civil Rights Act a year later. John Petts was so moved that he launched a newspaper campaign to raise money to replace the stained glass windows of the church with a message, ‘From the people of Wales’ and an image of a Black Christ figure pushing away hatred and injustice. Black and white children queued up in Tiger Bay, Cardiff to donate their pocket money. The window still stands today as a living reminder of the horrors of the violence of Birmingham, Alabama, and the bonds of friendship that grew out of it.To our knowledge another stained glass piece by John Petts has never been offered at auction and so we are absolutely thrilled to offer such an important piece which is of sensational quality and shares a similar style and colours to the famous Black Christ of Alabama. The glass was previously and for many years part of the fabric of the former Wales Gas headquarters building in South Wales known as Snelling House (before restructuring and relocating to Helmont House). Snelling House is a building which was inspired by the Cubist art movement and is now a hotel. The piece was created in the same year as Petts' most famous glass installation for the Baptist Church in Alabama.Condition Report:The frmae looks like it is starting to split, both bottom corners.All the glass looks good, no damage.There is a stand or support that came in with the glass. The framed glass would sit ontop of the stand, three / four foot off the ground. It’s very big, very heavy.

WW2 Royal Air Force Medal, Log Book and Flying Helmet Grouping of Sergeant Edward Dockray, Air Gunner with No55 Squadron, interesting grouping of medals consisting of OHMS boxed (sent to his wife, possible late claim) set of 1939-45 star, Italy star, Defence medal and 1939-45 War medal. Complete with two padded Air Gunners brevet wings and two piece brass forage cap badge. Medals un-named as issued. Accompanying the medals is his original Observers and Air Gunners log book covering the period 1942-1945. The log book begins with training before he moved operationally with No69 Squadron and then No55 Squadron flying bombing missions in Martin Baltimore aircraft over Italy. The log is well filled out with operational entries, photograph of him and his crew and newspaper cuttings etc. Also accompanying the log book is technical note books, service and release book and a well written personal diary where he mentions many of the raids and his experiences during the raids. Also with the group is his original C-Type flying helmet with the original wiring loom and jack plug. Chamois lining to the interior of the helmet. Accompanying the helmet is his original G-Type oxygen mask with microphone. The set remains in very good overall condition and nice to find complete groups such as this today.Edward ‘Ted’ Dockray was born in Leeds in 1920. He served with the Royal Air Force from 15th September 1941 until 7th June 1946. He qualified as an Air Gunner in November 1942. He undertook training in Rhodesia and Kenya and trained in Oxford, Blenheim’s and Baltimore aircraft. In August 1943 he was posted to No69 Squadron operating reconnaissance operations out of Malta and then Sicily. He was posted quite quickly to No55 Squadron, where he was involved in bombing operations, mostly over targets in Italy. His log reports his first operation raid being on a railway junctions and marshalling yards in Lamezia, Southern Italy, where he mentions the fighter escort shooting down enemy aircraft. His diary records this mission, ‘Felt quite shaky as we took off and most of the way to the target which was a railway junction at (blank) Italy. The flak did not start until after we had bombed the target and were just turning away. Then it started thick and fast. Wheeled away from the target and out to sea again and headed for home. The leader of the formation was Sq. Ldr. Hannah, who led the box very well, this evasive action was very good. All planes returned safely back to base, no casualties. On the way back, I accidently fired my guns which I had to clean in the afternoon. Photographs show excellent results. 4 Enemy fighters shot down by escorting Spits.’He mentions a number of hair raising incidents whilst on active service, including one incident in 12th October 1943 where part of the turret blew away in a dive, when they were dropping quickly to 4,000 feet, his comments in his diary were, ‘By Jesus it was cold’. On the 8th December 1943 his crew were tasked with bombing gun positions and troops near Miglianico, his log notes heavy flak and his diary states, ‘This is about the worst raid I ever went on up to present and the worst I want to go on. As we approached the target from the sea the flak started thick and heavy until we crossed the bomb line. Derrick had two holes in his cabin, Mac had one through the nose, I had one through the turret and one just went over Taff’s head just missing my legs. A very shaky raid. The CO’s observer was wounded in the leg. 223 squadron lost one kite which blew up over the target. Damage in our aircraft – one of two holes through the main plane, three pieces of shrapnel in the port engine, one big piece which passed just under my legs and just missed Taffie’s head and smashed through the electrical circuit. Two more pieces in the fuselage which half served two control wires’. By September 1944, he had completed his 80 operational sorties and thus his tour of 183 operational hours. He was transferred to No2 Group Support unit in a training role, based in Norfolk. Upon his release from the RAF, he returned to his career as a professional Golfer at Sand Moor and Middleton park, near Leeds where he lived with his wife and two children.

Another document on 1st May 1944 details a special commendation for the bomb group who attacked a target in Germany, ‘With its escort of P-51’s outnumbered and drawn off in combat, this formation was left, for more than an hour, without fighter protection. Before and during this period, in addition to intense fire from ground defenses, the crews of the 41st B Combat Wing were exposed to repeated savage assaults from more than fifty ME 109’s and FW 190’s, at one time remaining under unremitting attack for approximately forty minutes’. Grouping remains in very good overall condition. 1st Lieutenant Leon C Druckenmiller was from Reading, Pennsylvania. He entered active duty in 1943, serving in the European theatre of operations from March 1944. After the war he appeared to serve in the reserves.

Fragments of a Zeppelin metal, boxed, shot down in 1916In the First World War Britain suddenly became vulnerable to aerial attack. Alf Wilkinson records a memorable turning-point in the battle against the Zeppelin menace.On the night of the 2-3 September 1916 Lieutenant William Leefe Robinson became the first pilot to shoot down a Zeppelin raider over Britain. He was immediately acclaimed as a hero and awarded the Victoria Cross. He was feted wherever he went, and received a bounty of £4,200 – an absolute fortune at the time. What was so special about Lieutenant Robinson’s action, and did he deserve a VC?We are used to talking about the Blitz during the Second World War but in 1914 nothing like aerial bombing had taken place before. It was only a few years since Bleiriot had managed to cross the Channel, and the old idea of Britain as an ‘island fortress’ was still strongly held. And yet, soon after the start of the war, the German Navy had bombardedeast-coast ports – especially Hartlepool – inflicting casualties. Count von Zeppelin had been developing airships since 1900 and both the German Navy and Air Force had ordered some, seeing them primarily as airborne reconnaissance, although one did bomb Brussels in August 1914. The Kaiser was very reluctant to order bombing of Britain, feeling that the reaction of neutral countries would have an impact on Germany

Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork The painting shows and is named after the 'House of Reeves', an independent furniture store in Croydon south London, run by the same family for over 150 years London. On 8th of August 2011, during the London riots, the store was burnt down. In this painting I used a found photograph showing the store on fire, but replacing the arsonists and rioters with flying saucers, and AT-St Walkers/Tie-Fighters from Star Wars. This work is coupled with another image I did in 2020, made during the Black Lives Matter protests, in which the rioters are shown as they are, and the authorities replaced with Star Wars AT-AT walkers. These kinds of themes are generally very unusual in my work, but give me an outlet for looking at social issues and my interest in sci-fi - creating images that combine cinema, surrealism and social realism.   You must not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any works. In doing so, you endanger our relationships with artists, and directly jeopardise the charitable work we do.
