Auty, Squire The National Orange and Protestant Minstrel. Bradford: Printed and published by Squire Auty, at the Orange and Blue Banner Office, Kirkgate, 1852. 12mo, leather backed boards; provenance: Francis Thompson, 1858 (owner's ink MSS signature to ffep). Billed as a 'Collection of Constitutional & Protestant Songs, Hymns, Toasts, Sentiments, and Recitations, Original and Select', this little volume seems curiously at odds with its own intent. The preface by Auty admits truth in the statement that 'Orangemen have ever been regarded as tyrannical, bloodthirsty, implacable bigots' - especially if one studies their songs. He hopes that there is no line in this collection that 'would offend the most moral and religious of the brotherhood'. This preface would seem to be advocating charitable and Christian songs in a sense of brotherhood as Orangemen, rather than in the position of an opposition in Ireland. This sense by no means carries over to the words, which complain about groaning under popery, laud the valiant death of the Duke Schomberg and sing of remembering the Gunpowder Plot to the tune of Auld lang Syne. It would seem Christian brotherhood stops at ecumenicism. The poems and songs vary in their quality and vehemence, but it is hard to be unimpressed by the combination of liturgical education and merry ballad in 'Popery A Novelty' This catchy song (to the tune of anti-Irish 'Croppies Lie Down') calls for Irish Catholics to return to Celtic Irish Christianity by advising them St Patrick knew nothing of Transubstantiation 'Or I'm certain he'd told us before he had flown;/Look to the fourth Latern council and there you shall see,/That in it they invented this necromancy.' A seemingly rare and definitely intriguing work.. Boards a little rubbed and bumped, variable foxing throughout, MSS ink note on upper pastedown,

The recommendation for this officer's O.B.E. refers to his part in the defence of Malta, and the importance of his role in that vital and valiant effort was clearly very significant: "As chief technical officer at Kalafrana, Squadron Leader Hipwood has been responsible for the overhaul and repair of all aircraft in the island during a period when the number of aircraft has increased from three Gladiators to its present size and complication. Frequent shortages of spares and equipment have made a great deal of improvisation necessary but this has been tackled with great efficiency and initiative. It is chiefly due to Squadron Leader Hipwood's example of hard work and quiet efficiency that such a high standard of work has been turned out in spite of difficulties"

A DESIGN AUTHORITY DIAGNOSTIC REFERENCE MODEL FOR H.M.SUBMARINE CONQUEROR , BUILT BY CAMMELL LAIRD, 1970 the 34in. ebonised hull carved from the solid in two halves with articulated veins, rudder and seven blade brass propeller, the starboard half pulling apart on section of base to reveal hand-coloured technical profile drawing of the internal layout including reactor, wardroom, torpedo tubes etc., secured by a lift-off conning tower with plug fittings to hull and complete with snorkels, periscopes etc., the conjoined halves mounted on chock stands to display base with carved laminated name plate and contained and secured within fitted travel case of issue – case 16 x 40¼ x 7in. (41 x 102 x 18cm.) Provenance: Design Authority, Bath (closed 2012) ~~*~~ The Design Authority was an M.O.D. department that provided technical support to all three services wherever located around the globe. The model was most likely supplied by Cammell Laird as the information contained within would have been classified as Top Secret for the duration of Conqueror's career. The 4000 ton Improved 'Valiant' Class nuclear attack submarine Conqueror was laid down by Cammell Laird on the 5th December, 1967, launched eighteen months later and completed in November 1971. Perhaps her greatest moment has also remained her most controversial -- the sinking of the General Belgrano on 2nd May, 1982 during the Falklands campaign which has provoked impassioned debate ever since. She was sold for breaking in 1990 but as of 2017 was still at H.M.N.B. Devonport and being considered for public opening.

A fine collection of awards for the Action at Sanna's PostAt first light on 31 March 1900, a large column of 2000 men under General Robert George Broadwood was subject to a vicious opportunity ambush by Boer troops led by General Christiaan de Wet and his brother Pieter Daniel de Wet. Having initially intended to capture the waterworks at Sanna's Post, 23 miles east of Bloemfontein, the enemy saw the chance of this far greater prize - which they grasped with both hands - deploying the first large-scale use of guerrilla tactics during the conflict. Utilising the cover of a deep spruit created by the Modder River, approximately 1600 Boers, supported by artillery from high ground, deployed in darkness and surprised the British, creating chaos amid a maelstrom of mauser-fire. As Broadwood's force began to withdraw from the main body of attack towards the direction of a ravine, a blocking force of 400 Boers held fire until large numbers of British troops lay squarely within their sights, entirely devoid of cover or any realistic opportunity to fight back without being slaughtered. Over 200 were forced to surrender in the first few minutes including six guns of 'U' Battery. Those stragglers to the rear of the captured main body faced the almost suicidal return towards the only cover available - a railway station - across 1300 yards of open ground.Within minutes, the Boers successfully captured over 100 wagons and a further artillery piece. The British began to retreat towards the station and it was amidst this apparently hopeless situation that the men of 'Q' Battery under Major Phipps-Hornby, joined by a single gun from 'U' Battery and the Mounted Infantry, decided to stand their ground and fight back. For four hours they fought continuously, aided by rifle fire from the railway station, and managed to transform a stampede into an orderly retreat. Those who managed to escape under the cover of British artillery were fortunate; had it not been for an eagle-eyed officer who noticed what was happening in the first few minutes and ordered 'Q' Battery to gallop away towards the railway buildings, the outcome may have been disastrous. Broadwood eventually managed to break contact and approximately three hours later the 9th Infantry Division commanded by Major General Sir Henry Colville arrived to relieve the Mounted Brigade. The element of surprise now lost, the Boers withdrew to highly defensive positions across the Modder River leaving a small garrison at the captured waterworks. The British forces, now low on ammunition, chose to retire from the field.In all, the British suffered 155 men killed or wounded with approximately 430 taken prisoner. The exact numbers vary by source, however what cannot be denied is the one-sided nature of the casualties. In his book Three Years' War, Christiaan de Wet noted his losses as 3 killed and 5 wounded. Had it not been for the desperate rearguard action of the British artillery, it is possible that British casualties may have been considerably higher.For the men of 'Q' Battery, it was a resounding example of bravery and professionalism, resulting in the award of 4 V.C.'s and 3 D.C.M.'s to the Battery, the former by ballot, there being no fair way to choose four from so many who performed so heroically on that day. This was the fifth case of the application of Clause 13 and the first since the conclusion of the Indian Mutiny. As a result, Major Edmund John Phipps-Hornby, Sergeant Charles Edward Haydon Parker, Gunner Isaac Lodge, and Driver Horace Henry Glasock were each awarded the Victoria Cross. Following the intervention of Queen Victoria, a further V.C. was awarded to Lieutenant Francis Aylmer Maxwell, 18th Bengal Lancers, attached Robert's Horse, for gallantry in assisting to save the guns.The capture by the Boers of their original target - the Bloemfontein waterworks - had tragic consequences for the citizens of the local region by greatly aggravating an epidemic of enteric fever, dysentery and cholera which eventually caused 2000 deaths. In a despatch to the Secretary of State for War, Lord Roberts placed the blame on an early morning patrol from Boseman's Kop which failed to warm the column of the preparations for an ambush. Subsequent writers, including the Boer Generals themselves, expressed surprise at the apparent lack of any proper enquiry into the circumstances surrounding the disaster, however the words of Rudyard Kipling are probably the best epitaph:'Let us admit it fairly as a business people should;We have had no end of a lesson; it will do us no end of good.'A very rare Sanna's Post D.C.M. awarded to Trooper T. Murphy, Robert's Horse, who formed part of the Mounted Infantry rearguard which enabled the guns of 'Q' Battery to escape ambush and make a valiant standDistinguished Conduct Medal, E.VII.R. (Trooper T. Murphy: Robert's Horse.), good very fine. Subject to 20% VAT on Buyer’s Premium. For more information please view Terms and Conditions for Buyers.

(x) 'Squadron Leader W. P. Sutcliffe, D.F.C., with three other pilots and their crews, returned from their flight to France the previous day, when they escorted and navigated fighters. Charlie Breese, Attie Atkinson, Joe Hunt and Philip Sutcliffe stood before Paddy Bandon as he said, "We're now 82 Squadron. Yes, just us."Philip Sutcliffe recalls:When I returned to our base airfield, I was sent for by the Squadron Commander, Wing Commander the Earl of Bandon, who told me that of twelve Blenheims of 'B' Flight led by Mike Delap, no fewer than eleven had been shot down by A.A. and fighters over Belgium. Only one returned to Watton and it was very badly shot up. Squadron Leader Delap survived and I received a letter from him whilst he was in a Belgian hospital. The squadron commander had the squadron up to full strength in aircraft and crews within the next three days.'Valiant Wings, by Norman Franks, refers.A fine post-war C.B., early Second World War operations D.F.C. group of ten awarded to Air Commodore W. P. Sutcliffe, Royal Air Force, a lucky survivor of the massacre of Blenheim aircrews over the Low Countries and France in May-June 1940Pre-war he became something of a star during a protracted period of attachment to the Senior Service, surviving several close calls and in excess of 300 deck landingsBut it was for his gallant part in a low-level and hotly contested recce of Sylt Island, the morning after a much hyped strike on Hornum aerodrome in March 1940, that he won his D.F.C. His part in that trail-blazing operation was a success, unlike the cover-up of the results of his photographic work on the same occasion - for those photographs later came to light and revealed that Hornum aerodrome had escaped unscathedSubsequently plunged into the relentless - and costly - Blenheim operations of May-June 1940, he led formations of No. 82 Squadron on numerous occasions, a period of active service reflecting admirable courage in the face of heavy opposition: small wonder he was invited in the summer of 1940 to assist in the production of an episode of Time Inc.'s 'March of Time' short film seriesThe Most Honourable Order of the Bath (C.B.), Military Division, Companion's neck badge, silver-gilt and enamel, in its Garrard & Co. case of issue; Distinguished Flying Cross, G.VI.R., the reverse officially dated '1940'; 1939-45 Star; Atlantic Star, clasp, Air Crew Europe; Africa Star; Burma Star; Defence and War Medals 1939-45, M.I.D. oak leaf; Coronation 1953; United States of America, Legion of Merit, Officer's breast badge, gilt and enamel, the reverse machine engraved, 'Walter P.
