Bids made online cannot be seen by others and do not go live until the actual moment that the lot in question is being offered for sale. All bids can be easily altered or cancelled by the bidder prior to this point. An automated email will be sent confirming all bids and alterations.

Rockwood passed away March 3, 2014 at his home in Batesville, Indiana after a long illness. He will be fondly remembered as an avid collector, meticulous researcher, and true friend of the hobby. His knowledge of military history, medals, and militaria was frequently sought by collecting friends around the world. An early and sustained interest in stamps led Fred into coins and finally to orders, decorations, and medals where he collected worldwide. He was a partner in FJP Auctions, Inc., a strong supporter of the OMSA, and the Ohio Valley Military Society (OVMS). Fred was a Salt Lake City born, Stanford University undergrad, Harvard law Renaissance man, with varied interests in many different fields of learning. He had an extraordinarily eclectic library, all of which he could instantly recall. He loved languages and spoke many of them fluently, including Chinese (both Mandarin and Cantonese) and German. Fred held many Church leadership positions, was President and CEO of a Fortune 500 Company, served on the Boy Scouts of America Cincinnati Council board of directors, and supported all forms of the arts. Every travel opportunity for Fred led to a favourite book store. Once, after an overnight flight to London, he could not check in at the hotel because the room wasn’t ready. Thinking there was time to spend an hour searching the stacks and still have time to catch a much needed nap before dinner; Fred made an early afternoon visit to a book store. He was soon in an almost hidden corner of an upstairs room. He found something of interest on a bottom shelf, bent over to pick it up, and then sat down on the floor to take a better look. The next thing he remembered was being awakened by a security guard hours after the store had closed. Fred Rockwood was a unique individual who will be missed by those who knew him. He is survived !by his wife Jolene, six sons and daughters, and eighteen grandchildren. B.W.

  • 1 the Crown and Honours
    The Crown and Honours: Getting it Right Christopher McCreery I N T R O D U C T I O N In the words of that early scholar of Commonwealth autonomy, Sir Arthur Berridale Keith, “The Crown is the fount of all honour.”i The role of the Crown as the fount of all official honours in Canada is a precept that is as old and constant as is the place of the Crown in our constitutional structure. Since the days of King Louis XIV residents of Canada have been honoured by the Crown for their services with a variety of orders, decorations and medals. The position of the Crown in the modern Canadian honours system is something that is firmly entrenched, despite consistent attempts to marginalize it in recent years. Indeed honours are not something separate from the Crown, they are an integral element of the Crown. A part that affords individuals with official recognition for what are deemed as good works, or in the modern context, exemplary citizenship. Just last year we witnessed the Queen’s direct involvement in the honours system when she appointed Jean Chrétien as a member of the Order of Merit. While many commentators and officials in Canada seemed confused as to just what this honour is – the highest civil honour for service – people did realize how significant it was, in large part because it came not from a committee or politician, but directly from the Sovereign. With this paper I will delve into the central role the Crown and Sovereign play in the creation of honours and I will also explore the areas where attention and reform are required in the Canadian honours system.

  • Your Career Guide
    ROYAL NAVAL RESERVE Your career guide YOUR ROLE | THE PEOPLE YOU’LL MEET | THE PLACES YOU’LL GO WELCOME For most people, the demands of a job and family life are enough. However, some have ambitions that go beyond the everyday. You may be one of them. In which case, you’re exactly the kind of person we’re looking for in the Royal Naval Reserve (RNR). The Royal Naval Reserve is a part-time force of civilian volunteers, who provide the Royal Navy with the additional trained people it needs at times of tension, humanitarian crisis, or conflict. As a Reservist, you’ll have to meet the same fitness and academic requirements, wear the same uniform, do much of the same training and, when needed, be deployed in the same places and situations as the regulars. Plus, you’ll be paid for the training and active service that you do. Serving with the Royal Naval Reserve is a unique way of life that attracts people from all backgrounds. For some, it’s a stepping stone to a Royal Navy career; for others, a chance to develop skills, knowledge and personal qualities that will help them in their civilian work. Many join simply because they want to be part of the Royal Navy but know they can’t commit to joining full-time. Taking on a vital military role alongside your existing family and work commitments requires a great deal of dedication, energy and enthusiasm. In return, we offer fantastic opportunities for adventure, travel, personal development and friendships that can last a lifetime.
