12 Air Defence Royal Artillery in the Gulf War 1990-91 by David Rowlands. (Y) These canvases are from stock and have been in our various mobile displays for some time, and now have damage on the back of the canvas only. These spotted areas appear either down one side or across the back, or on both side areas of the back. The damage does not affect the front image as the fronts have a protective coating. You can see the type of damage in the extra image shown below. They will frame up showing none of the damage and will look superb. Due to this damage, we are selling them below cost. |
Bombardier Cook Taking Live Shells out of a Blazing Ammunition Wagon. Bombardier C. W. Cook, of the 368th Battery, Royal Artillery, won the D.C.M. for a remarkable example of cool courage and presence of mind at Cape Helles on the Gallipoli Peninsula. On June 28th 1915, the position of his battery was discovered by Turkish observers on the Asiatic shore and was subjected to a severe fire from heavy howitzers. One lucky shot hit the gun on which Cook was working and killed or wounded the whole detachment. A little later the ammunition wagon was set on fire. Bombardier Cook immediately rushed forward to save the ammunition. No one could have blamed him for retiring to a safe distance in such an emergency, but so far from retiring he saved most of the shells from the wagon and also the ammunition stored in the pits instead. |

The Royal Regiment of Artillery at Le Cateau. Maj A F Becke. Invaluable detailed stage-by-stage account of the second major battle (after Mons) fought by the BEF in 1914. Becke was attached to the Historical Section (Military Branch) of the Committee of Imperial Defence, so had - for a regimental historian writing in 1918 - privileged access to the relevant War Diaries. In addition, he interviewed every available artillery officer who was present, and as a respected military historian and gunner officer his analysis and thoroughness are beyond question. |
