All questions and comments relating to the operation of this sale or to its content should be addressed to Morton & Eden Ltd. and not to Sotheby’s. Important Information for Buyers All lots are offered subject to Morton & Eden Ltd.’s Conditions of Business and to reserves. Estimates are published as a guide only and are subject to review. The actual hammer price of a lot may well be higher or lower than the range of figures given and there are no fixed “starting prices”. A Buyer’s Premium of 15% is applicable to all lots in this sale. Excepting lots sold under Temporary Import rules which are marked with the symbol ‡ (see below), the Buyer’s Premium is subject to VAT at the standard rate (currently 17½%). Unless otherwise indicated, lots are offered for sale under the auctioneer’s margin scheme and VAT on the Buyer’s Premium is payable by all buyers. Lots marked with the symbol ‡ have been imported from outside the European Union (EU) to be sold at auction under Temporary Import Rules. When released to buyers within the EU, including the UK, the buyer will become the importer and must pay import VAT at the rate of 5% on both the hammer price and the Buyer’s Premium. In effect this means that the invoice total for most EU buyers, including the Buyer’s Premium, will be at the level of the hammer price + 20.75% (i.e. just over 3% higher than the rate of 17.625% which typically applies to lots sold under the domestic Auctioneer’s Margin VAT scheme). Buyers outside the EU will not be required to pay temporary import VAT provided that satisfactory documentary evidence of exportation is obtained. Further information on this matter is available on request. Morton & Eden Ltd. will be pleased to execute bids on behalf of those clients unable to attend the sale in person, subject to our Conditions of Business. All bids must be submitted in writing in good time and lots will always be purchased as cheaply as possible (depending on any other bids received, reserves and competition in the saleroom). This service is offered free of charge. Morton & Eden Ltd. can supply quotations for the shipping of purchases, including transit insurance and VAT refund administration fees, and will assist in the application for any export licences which may be required. Buyers are reminded that it is their responsibility to comply with UK export regulations and with any local import requirements. Payment Instructions Payment is due in sterling at the conclusion of the sale and before purchases can be released. Please note that we require seven days to clear sterling cheques unless special arrangements have been made in advance of the sale. We are pleased to accept major credit cards, for which a surcharge will be made of 3% of the transaction total. There is no charge for payments made by debit card.

    ON 0UR DOORSTEP I MEMORIAM THE SECOD WORLD WAR 1939 to 1945 HOW THOSE LIVIG I SOME OF THE PARISHES SOUTH OF COLCHESTER, WERE AFFECTED BY WORLD WAR 2 Compiled by E. J. Sparrow Page 1 of 156 ON 0UR DOORSTEP FOREWORD This is a sequel to the book “IF YOU SHED A TEAR” which dealt exclusively with the casualties in World War 1 from a dozen coastal villages on the orth Essex coast between the Colne and Blackwater. The villages involved are~: Abberton, Langenhoe, Fingringhoe, Rowhedge, Peldon: Little and Great Wigborough: Salcott: Tollesbury: Tolleshunt D’Arcy: Tolleshunt Knights and Tolleshunt Major This likewise is a community effort by the families, friends and neighbours of the Fallen so that they may be remembered. In this volume we cover men from the same villages in World War 2, who took up the challenge of this new threat .World War 2 was much closer to home. The German airfields were only 60 miles away and the villages were on the direct flight path to London. As a result our losses include a number of men, who did not serve in uniform but were at sea with the fishing fleet, or the Merchant avy. These men were lost with the vessels operating in what was known as “Bomb Alley” which also took a toll on the Royal avy’s patrol craft, who shepherded convoys up the east coast with its threats from: - mines, dive bombers, e- boats and destroyers. The book is broken into 4 sections dealing with: - The war at sea: the land warfare: the war in the air & on the Home Front THEY WILL OLY DIE IF THEY ARE FORGOTTE.

  • Of Saxony's Decorations and Medals, Perhaps the Most Important
    This book is the third volume in his series on the aviation awards of Imperial Germany during World War I, and like the two previous volumes (Bavaria and Prussia) is superb in all respects. Volume III explores the awards of the Kingdom of Saxony, a region that had long been embroiled in conflict and turmoil, and whose capital city (Dresden) was to become the site of the most fearsome bombing raids of World War I1. Of Saxony’s decorations and medals, perhaps the most important was the Military Order of St. Henry, which was founded on October 7, 1736 by Augustus III, King of Poland and Elector of Saxony. It predates many of the other pre- eminent German orders, including Prussia’s Pour le Merite (1740) and Bavaria’s Military Order of max Joseph (1797). It was originally instituted in one class for award to officers of the Royal saxon Army, but was later enlarged to three classes in 1768 (Grand Cross, Commander, and Knight). The Commander grade was divided into a First and Second class in 1829. During the First World War 2,717 awards of the order were made, of which 107 went to aviators. The lion’s share of O’Connor’s book is the chapter that discusses this order, which provides a wealth of information on the order itself and includes the citations of all 107 aviation recipients. Like the book as a whole, this chapter is liberally illustrated with photos of the recipients, their awards,and their aircraft. The other principal Saxon awards are also covered.

  • WARFARE OFFICERS CAREER HANDBOOK II Warfare Officers Career Handbook
    WARFARE OFFICERS CAREER HANDBOOK II WARFARE OFFICERS CAREER HANDBooK Warfare O fficers C areer H andbook IV WARFARE OFFICERS CAREER HANDBooK Foreword The Warfare Officers Career Handbook provides information for members of the Royal Australian Navy’s Warfare community. For the purposes of this handbook, the Warfare community is deemed to include all officers of the Seaman, Pilot and Observer Primary Qualifications. The Warfare Officer Community symbiotically contains personnel from the seaman, Submarine, Aviation, Hydrographic and Meteorological, Mine Clearance Diving and Naval Communications and Intelligence groups. The Warfare Officers Career Handbook is a source document for Warfare Officers to consult as they progress through their careers. It is intended to inform and stimulate consideration of career issues and to provide a coherent guide that articulates Navy’s requirements and expectations. The book provides a summary of the Warfare branch specialisations and the sub-specialisations that are embedded within them, leading in due course to entry into the Charge Program and the Command opportunities that follow. The Warfare Officers Career Handbook also describes the historical derivation of current warfare streams to provide contemporary relevance and the cultural background within which maritime warfare duties are conducted. It discusses the national context in which Warfare Officers discharge their duties. Leadership and ethical matters are explored, as is the inter-relationship between personal attributes, values, leadership, performance and sense of purpose. There is no intention that this handbook replicate or replace extant policy and procedural guidelines. Rather, the handbook focuses on the enduring features of maritime warfare. Policy by its nature is transient. Therefore, as far as possible, the Warfare Officers Career Handbook deals with broad principles and not more narrowly defined policies that rightly belong in other documents.
