MILITARY MEDALS, A Pleasing Great War DCM and WW2 Group of 5 awarded to Private Robert Farnham, 1st Battalion, Hertfordshire Regiment (TF), awarded the DCM for making a daring wire-cutting trip into No Man’s Land where he was wounded by German gunfire, but still managed to retrieve a wounded soldier and return to his trench, comprising: Distinguished Conduct Medal, GVR (4420 Pte R. Farnham. 1/Herts: Regt-T.F.), 1914-15 Star (4420 Pte. R. Farnham, Herts. R.), British War and Victory Medals, 1914-1920 (4420 Pte. R. Farnham. Herts. R.), Defence Medal, 1939-1945; first four medals officially impressed, the latter unnamed as issued, group swing mounted on bar with reverse pin for wear, sold with original Hertfordshire Regiment cap badge. Good very fine. (6) DCM London Gazette 11.03.1916 – ‘For conspicuous gallantry in carrying out a very daring and useful piece of reconnaissance.’ By family repute Private Robert Farnham volunteered to a request for volunteers in his company to venture out into ‘No-Man’s Land’ and cut the wire in advance of a planned attack. The wire was, however, only 50 yards from the German trenches, and upon arrival at the wire he was shot in the wrist and both legs, but still managed to return to his own trench, whilst also helping to retrieve another wounded soldier. The family record that it was for this act that he was awarded the DCM. Two other men, 1732 Corporal William G Spinks, and 3630 Pte Charles Hagger, both of the 1st Herts Regiment, share similar citations with a touch more information, and clearly make up the other members of the reconnaissance party. Given the date of the award, it is possible that the event took place in September 1915 at Loos. Private Farnham reputedly carried the scars and a bullet still inside his wrist until his final days. He was born 11 October 1891, and died 9 April 1976. Sold with copy MIC and SWB mention, showing that he enlisted 5 January 1915, and that he was discharged 1 September 1916. Worthy of further research.

Lieutenant Colonel Mike Snook. Like Wolves on the Fold-The Defence of Rorke`s Drift 24 X 16cm Wednesday 22 January 1879 was one of the most dramatic days in he annals of military history. In the morming,a modern British army was swept aside by the onset of a seemingly unstoppable host at Isandlwana. Nearby, at a remote border outpost on the Buffalo River, a single company of the 24th Regiment anda few dozen recuperating hospital patients were passing another hot, monotonous day, News of the disaster across the river came like a bolt from the blue. Retreat was not an option. It seemed certain that the Rorke`s Drift detachment would share the terrible fate of their comrades. Lieutenant Colonel Snook brings the insights of a military professional to bear in this strikingly original account. It is an extraordinary tale- a victory largely achieved by the sheer bloody-mindedness in adversity of the British infantryman. fighting at remarkable odds of over thirty to one. The heroics of all eleven VC winners are recounted in detail, and we are offered new insights into how the Zulu attack unfolded and how 150 men achieved their victory.
