Landon); Coronation 1911, unnamed, these mounted for wear in incorrect order; together with Royal Society of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce, Silver Medal, G.V.R., 55mm., edge with engraved inscription (Perceval Landon for his paper on “Basra and the Shatt-Ul-Arab” Session 1914-15) extremely fine and very rare (7) £3,000-£4,000 --- Perceval Landon was born in 1868 and educated at Hertford College, Oxford. While at Oxford, he was one of the original subscribers to John Woodward and George Burnett's Treatise on Heraldry British and Foreign (1892), and he had a lifelong interest in heraldry. He was called to the Bar by the Inner Temple but in 1899–1900 he was War Correspondent of The Times during the South African War. He was also involved, with his close and lifelong friend Rudyard Kipling and others, in a daily paper called The Friend started by Lord Roberts in Bloemfontein during the Boer War. This South African experience launched a career of world travel, journalism, and other writing, so that he described himself in Who's Who as "special correspondent, dramatist, and author". Landon was private secretary to the Governor of New South Wales in 1900; in 1903 he was special correspondent of the Daily Mail at the Delhi Durbar, in China, in Japan and in Siberia; in 1903–1904 he was special correspondent of The Times on the British military expedition to Lhasa, Tibet; in 1905–1906 he was special correspondent of The Times for the Prince of Wales' visit to India; and after that he was in Persia, India, and Nepal, 1908; Russian Turkestan 1909; Egypt and Sudan 1910; on the North Eastern Frontier of India and at the Delhi Durbar, 1911; in Mesopotamia and Syria, 1912; in Scandinavia and behind the British and French lines in 1914-1915; behind the Italian lines and to the Vatican in 1917 (the war and Vatican visits with Rudyard Kipling); at the Paris Peace Conference, 1919; in Constantinople, 1920; in India, Mesopotamia, Syria, and Palestine 1921; on the Prince of Wales' tour of India and Japan, 1921-1922; in China and North America 1922; at the Peace Conference in Lausanne, 1923; in China, Nepal and Egypt 1924; and in China in 1925. By this time, in 1925, Landon was 57 and had travelled constantly since the age of 21. Landon for a time had a cottage in the grounds of Kipling's house, Batemans, in Sussex. His address in 1907 was at Pall Mall Place, St James's, London, and, by the time of his death in 1927, his final address was 1 The Studios, Gunter Grove, Chelsea, London. He was the author of numerous books, essays and novels, including Lhasa (1905) covering the Tibet Mission, Under the Sun: Impressions of Indian Cities (1906) resulting from his observations during the Prince Of Wales’ visit of 1905-06, and Raw Edges (1908) a volume of short stories, chiefly ghostly or gruesome. Percival Landon died unmarried on 23 January 1927. Sold with a ‘true copy’ letter requesting tickets from the Royal Society of Arts to the reading of Landon’s paper on Basra and the Shatt-ul-Arab; together with copied extracts from Lhasa and Under the Sun, obituary from The Times and Medal Index Card for ‘War Correspondent’.

A fine American group of ten awarded to Colonel F. A. Flynn, United States Air Force, late Royal Flying Corps and Royal Air Force, who served with the Dwina Wing in North Russia, was wounded whilst fighting the Bolsheviks, and was awarded the Russian Order of St. Anne with Swords United States of America, Allied Victory Medal 1917-19; American Defense Service Medal 1941; American Campaign Medal 1941-45; World War II Victory Medal 1941-45; National Defense Service Medal; Armed Forces Reserve Medal; Great Britain, British War and Victory Medals (Lieut. F. A. Flynn. R.A.F.); together with a duplicate Victory Medal (Lieut. F. A. Flynn. R.A.F.); France, Third Republic, Commemorative Medal for the Great War 1914-18, generally very fine and better (10) £600-£800 --- Frank Anthony Flynn was born in San Francisco, California, on 21 May 1896, a United States citizen, and attested for the Royal Flying Corps at Toronto, Ontario, on 2 October 1917 having previously, by his own admission, ‘served as Second Lieutenant in the United States Cavalry at the beginning of the War.’ Appointed an Air Mechanic Third Class, he was commissioned Second Lieutenant on 1 February 1918, and was initially posted as an Instructor with the 85th Training Squadron, Canada. However, at the end of February he was granted four weeks’ sick leave and he returned home. On 3 March, while at Tallaferro Field, Fort Worth, Texas, Flynn took an air cadet from Los Angeles on a flight and when 400 feet from the ground the machine went into a tailspin. The controls refused to work, and the machine started to drop. There aircraft struck the ground in a newly ploughed field which may have saved their lives, the air cadet, who was in the front seat, received a broken arm and two broken ribs, while Flynn received a broken nose. Recovering, Flynn proceeded to England and served with the 33rd Training Squadron, before receiving an operational posting to the 20th (Bristol) Fighter Squadron in France. He was subsequently attached to the Dwina Wing for service in North Russia, and was wounded whilst fighting the Bolsheviks, whilst doing some low level flying over the lines. In the California Honour Roll, War History Department for the First World War, Flynn describes his service thus: ‘My work consisted partly in chasing down submarines on the East Coast of England; the work was rather monotonous except for a stray Hun patrol or Zep, and through our vigilance we kept these rather scarce. later I went to France and my work consisted of escorting bombers, which I was just getting warmed up to, when the armistice was declared. I then answered the call for volunteers to Russia and certainly worked hard up there, bombing the Bolshevik positions and dumps and doing considerable artillery observation for the Army and Navy; it was for good work along this line that I received the Russian Order of St. Anne with crossed swords. Whilst observing some gun positions I stopped a machine gun bullet in my leg, thus concluding my war in Russia.’ A study of the Royal Air Force casualty cards confirms that Flynn was not wounded from ground fire, in fact he was wounded while flying over the Bolshevik position while trying to reload an automatic pistol, when it discharged, and he shot himself in the leg. He was admitted into the 53rd Stationary Hospital at Archangel, Russia and he was repatriated to the Royal Air Force Hospital at Eaton Square, London in August 1919. On 27 November he departed from Southampton for New York, and whilst en route he was transferred to the unfit list. For his services during the Great War the American authorities officially approved him to wear the British War Medal, the (British) Victory Medal, and the Russian Order of St. Anne (US Service record confirms), although, given the political situation in Russia at the time, and the lack of available insignia, it is possible that he never physically received the Russian insignia. After completing his legal studies in San Francisco, Flynn enlisted with the United States Army Air Corps Reserve on 6 July 1923, and was advanced First Lieutenant on 12 June 1926. On 17 September 1928, he was co-pilot of an aircraft which was en route from Mines Field at Los Angeles to Crissy Field, San Francisco when their gasoline was getting dangerously low. They circled over the city of Tulare in the dark searching for a landing field when they crashed in an alfalfa field north of the city. The aircraft struck the ground and plunged through the telephone wires along the railway, entirely destroying service between Tulare and Points North and the plane immediately caught fire, however both men escaped. After this mishap, he returned to duty and was promoted to the rank of Captain on 18 May 1930, being rated a Pilot from 27 July 1931. He remained with the reserves while working as a lawyer (Attorney) in his civilian life, specialising in aviation law, defending airlines from liability claims. He applied for a Purple Heart on 27 October 1932; however, his application was rejected as he received his wound as a member of the British Expeditionary Force and not with the American Expeditionary Force. Flynn was promoted to the rank of Major on 18 October 1935, and the following year, on 30 May 1936, endured another crashed landing: Chosen to pilot the plane to scatter the ashes of a comrade, and air ace, ‘Tex’ Frolich, over Chrissy Field, Flynn had only just completed the memorial service when suddenly his motor failed when at approximately 400 feet. With hundreds of picnickers in the park, Flynn skilfully manouvered the plane to avoid hitting anyone and landed between some trees; at the time he was noted in the local newspapers as having risking his own life to avoid killing others. Flynn saw further service during the Second World War, and was promoted Lieutenant-Colonel on 22 June 1943. serving with 461st American Air Force Base, San Francisco, California and 464th American Air Force Base McChord Field, Washington D.C, as executive officer. Reverting to the Reserve following the cessation of hostilities he was promoted Colonel on 22 July 1949, finally retiring, unfit for further duties, on 31 January 1956, after 32 years’ service. He died at San Rafael, California on 12 April 1980, aged 84. Sold with various N. S. Meyer, New York, silver Wings; an R.F.C. and R.A.F. cap badge; and other metal and cloth insignia; as well as extensive copied research (both hard copies and on a memory stick), including a photographic image of the recipient.

A German Second World War Luftwaffe Honour Goblet Awarded to Feldwebel Alfons Kunik A very nice condition Luftwaffe Honour Goblet constructed in the Alpaka material, marked on the base Feinsilber Alpaka Joh. Wagner & Sohn. The majority of the pre 1942 goblets were made from pure silver and after were made from the substitute Alpaka material. This example having all its original hand stippling remaining, good clear detail to the two fighting eagles with the Iron Cross on the reverse side with swastika centre. One small edge knock to the base. The goblet is at the moment housed in a very good reproduction box and apart from the very slight edge knock it is a fine example of this always attractive award, very good condition £1,500-£2,000 --- Feldwebel Alfons Kunik was awarded the Honour Goblet on 5 June 1942 and went on to become a German Cross in Gold recipient. He was a member of the 8th Staffel Lehr-Geschwader 1. This unit was formed in 1936, and was a training wing and a multi purpose unit during the Second World War; operating both fighters, bombers and dive bombers, they served in every battle front and we would assume that of the date of 1942 that this was awarded for actions on the Russian Front.

Four: Admiral R. P. Cator, Royal Navy, the only R.N. officer to receive an officially impressed medal for Azoff Crimea 1854-56, 2 clasps, Azoff, Sebastopol (Lieut. R. P. Cator, R.N.) officially impressed naming, but with engraved correction to second initial [from ‘I’]; China 1857-60, 2 clasps, Canton 1857, Taku Forts 1858, unnamed as issued; Ottoman Empire, Order of the Medjidie, 5th class, silver, gold and enamels; Turkish Crimea, Sardinian issue, contemporary tailor’s copy by ‘J.B.’, dark toned, light contact marks and chips to red enamel, otherwise good very fine (4) £2,000-£2,400 --- Ralph Peter Cator was born on 19 May 1829, at Bangalore in the Kingdom of Mysore, India, eldest son of Peter Cator, of Beckenham, Kent, Barrister-at-Law, who was for thirteen years Registrar of the Supreme Court of Madras. He was nephew of Major-General William Cator, C.B., Director-General of Artillery, and of Vice-Admiral B. C. Cator; and first cousin of J. B. Cator, R.N. He entered the Royal Navy on 22 May 1843, on board the Castor, in which frigate he was employed for four and a half years, chiefly on the China and New Zealand stations (also entitled to New Zealand medal dated 1845-46 - his name is shown on the medal roll but this medal is never mentioned in his services in the Navy List right up to his death and has never been seen on the market. The Admiral is, however, depicted wearing a New Zealand medal in a portrait held in the collection of the Defence Academy of the U.K.). He served off the coast of Africa, where, in 1850 whilst in command of the pinnace of Philomel, he made prize of the Brazilian brigantine Condor off the river Louisa Loanga, for which he was mentioned for his judgement and gallantry. In January 1853 he was appointed to the Rodney, and, in August 1854, to the command of the Danube, steam tender to the ship last named, and in September 1855 to the Rodney again. In command of the Danube he performed much valuable service. He assisted in landing the army in the Crimea, and in embarking the wounded after the battle of the Alma; he was in attendance on the allied fleets during the attack on the forts of Sebastopol, 17 October 1854; and in April 1855, he aided in embarking the Turkish troops under Omar Pasha at Eupatoria. He also accompanied the expedition to Kertch, where he was again employed in landing troops; and entering the Sea of Azoff with the flotilla under the orders of Captain Edmund Moubray Lyons, he contributed to the destruction of a vast accumulation of stores belonging to the Russian Government at Taganrog, Marioupol, and Gheisk, 3, 5 and 6 June; rendering, at Taganrog, good service with a 24-pounder howitzer and rockets, and evincing merit, which was mentioned with praise in the despatches of the senior officer. On the night of 16 June, prior to the unsuccessful attack on Malakhoff and Redan, the Danube was engaged in pouring a shower of rockets on the sea defences and town of Sebastopol. As First-Lieutenant of the Furious he was attached to the Naval Brigade at the storming of the city of Canton in December 1857, on which occasion he assisted Captain Osborn in burning the houses in the vicinity of the North Gate, a service executed under sharp fire and with considerable difficulty, the houses containing little or no inflammable matter. His conduct during the operations against Canton was brought to the notice of the Commander-in-Chief, by whom he was mentioned for his services on shore (while belonging to the Calcutta) as Senior Lieutenant of the 2nd division of small-arm men at the destruction of the Chinese fortifications at the entrance of the Peiho River, 20 May 1858. He was rewarded with the rank of Commander in September 1858, and advanced to Captain in 1866, to Rear-Admiral in 1882, and to Vice-Admiral in 1888. He was A.D.C. to the Queen from December 1879 to December 1882, and the inventor of a “fog alarm buoy” which was approved by the Admiralty and issued to the Fleet. He was advanced to full Admiral in May 1894. Admiral Cator died in Chelsea, London, on 30 July 1903 and is buried in Northwood Cemetery. Cator’s officially impressed Crimea medal is the only such example issued to an R.N. officer with the clasp for Azoff. Rodney was one of the four ships to which officially impressed medals were issued but Cator was the only officer to be detached for service in the Sea of Azoff from any of those ships. Sold with copied research and Liverpool Medal Company catalogue entry offering these four medals for sale circa 1980-85.
