A scarce 'Mohmand Operations' I.D.S.M. awarded to Subedar-Major M. Bakhsh, 3rd Battalion, 2nd Punjab Regiment, a long-served Indian officer who additionally received a 'mention' for the Loe-Agra Operations on the North-West FrontierIndian Distinguished Service Medal, G.V.R., 2nd 'Crowned Head' Type (Subdr. Maj. Maula Bakhsh, 3-2 Punjab R.), minor official correction to last initial of first name, good very fineJust 98 of this 'Crowned Head' G.V.R. type issued.I.D.S.M. G.G.O. 309 of 1936.M.I.D. G.G.O. 166 of 1936.Maula Bakhsh enlisted for service with the 3rd Battalion, 2nd Punjab Regiment on 24 May 1909 and rose steadily through the ranks during a career spanning some 27 years. He was made Jemadar in August 1918, Subedar in June 1923, and was finally promoted Subedar-Major on 12 June 1934 - this rank was the aspiration for any Indian soldier wanting to make a career out of the Army. The Subedar-Major was the most senior Indian rank in the Battalion.Bakhsh likely received his 'mention' for one of two events during the Loe-Agra Operations between 23 February-13 April 1935, either for his personal participation in a 'well arranged ambush of a sniping party' undertaken by two platoons of the 3rd Battalion, or an attack on a picquet. On the first instance, after an exceptionally detailed reconnaissance that afternoon, the same evening the troops involved (almost certainly with Subedar-Major Bakhsh) left camp to take up their positions. Official History takes up the story:'The party was in position by 2030 hours. Owing to the excessive darkness visibility was difficult beyond ten to fifteen yards.At 2245 hours a party of approximately twenty five enemy snipers came down the track immediately north of the Jindai Khwar from a westerly direction, and it transpired later that there was another party of ten following behind them. The section north of the Khwar opened fire on the leading party at a range of about five yards. This was immediately followed by rapid fire from the remainder of the ambush party. The enemy scattered and taking cover behind rocks and walls began a heavy but futile fire at close range on the ambush party. The firing ceased at 2330 hours, during which time, the enemy collected their casualties. They then moved off to the north west, making much noise and shouting abuse at each other and at the troops.The enemy losses in this successful affair were one killed and four wounded, of whome two died of their wounds. There were no casualties among the troops.' (Official History of Operations on the North-West Frontier of India 1920-1935, p. 177, refers).The second possible occasion is also worth noting in detail; the attack on Kila Hari has been described as 'one of the most ferocious and sustained attacks that was ever inflicted by tribesmen in the history of the North-West Frontier'. The night defence of the Kila Hari post in the Loe-Agra operations of the Nowshera Brigade in April 1935 by a party of the 72nd Punjabis (3/2nd Punjab Regt) is an epic - a small detachment was attacked by an unexpectedly-well-led tribal lashkar of some 1,000 Shamozais. The picquet was almost overwhelmed in the hand-to-hand fighting which involved revolvers, bayonets, stones and knives and lasted an incredible ten hours; this piquet consisted of one rifle company and a machine-gun platoon drawn from the 3/2nd Punjabis. An intelligence report, received during the afternoon of 5 April, stated that a large enemy lashkar had been sighted and was intending to launch an attack on Kila Hari Post from the east, but this report was considered unreliable and not given credence.The unexpected attack began about 7.30 p.m. when Shamozai swordsmen attempted to rush the machine-gun post. This resulted in severe hand-to-hand fighting but the tribesmen's attack, although pressed home with considerable ferocity, was beaten back. The enemy made further assaults at approximately 15-minute intervals until midnight, but all were repulsed. At about 9.30 p.m. the lower post on the ridge was heavily attacked, followed by other attacks against other posts which were also beaten off. The tribesmen surrounded the position and kept it under constant fire until just before dawn, when they withdrew. It was then confirmed that during this night attack 28 tribesmen had been killed and almost certainly a far larger number wounded.As for Bakhsh's I.D.S.M., the Official History makes no reference to any specific actions by the 3/2nd Battalion during the Mohmand operations, but it is worthy of note that this is a unique award to the Regiment for that campaign; sold together with copied service history extracts, Indian Army lists, Gazette entries, a compact disk of copied research, and official histories - also a copy of an article written by the recipient in 1936 for the Duke of Wellington's Regiment journal, 'Comrades in Arms: Friendship Between British and Indian Troops in Nowshera' (The Iron Duke, No. 35, October 1936, p. 217-218 refers).…

A rare The Putney VCS3 EMS Electronic Music Studios (London Ltd) Analogue Modular Synthesizer early 1970s, serial number 1003, no leads, manuals or accessories are present. . Please note, due the awkward size / shape and value of this item, we are unable to arrange postage. You are welcome to collect in person or arrange your own courier. This item has been well looked after and has its original cover, but is untested. this item is compatible with the EMS Synthi DK.1 also offered in this sale. Viewing is recommended. The EMS Synthi VCS3 Mk2 modular synthesizer, in original wooden case with two panels providing controls for: two voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs), a low frequency oscillator (LFO), voltage controlled low pass/band pass voltage controlled filter (VCF), trapezoid envelope generator, noise source, ring modulator, voltage controlled spring reverb, 16 x 16 patch board matrix and 18 resistive connecting pins, joystick providing X, Y modulation control, reverse with power connector, headphone output, oscilloscope output, stereo output, two voltage control outputs, keyboard connector, two line level inputs and two microphone level inputs, trigger input, accompanied by a EMS manual and plug, approx 17in wide x 20in high (43cm x 51cm) Footnotes Electronic Music Studios, Ltd, better known as EMS was formed in 1969 by Peter Zinovieff, Tristram Cary and David Cockerell, mainly as a way to fund Zinovieff's experimental music studio. The Cockerell-designed VCS3 'Putney' (after the location of the studio) was the first commercial product. It was an attempt, at a time when the current offerings from early synthesizer companies such as Moog and Buchla were large modular systems that covered walls, to provide a compact (considered portable at the time) version of an electronic studio, hence the name VCS (Voltage Controlled Studio). The VCS3 was also modular, but utilized an ingenious patch matrix that alleviated the need for patch cables to connect the separate modules. The synthesizer soon found its way on to the soundtracks of popular television programs like Doctor Who and onto a number of popular albums of the day. It was prominently featured on tracks by Pink Floyd (such as the Dark Side of the Moon's 'On the Run,') The Who (the 'Won't Get Fooled Again' intro includes Lowrey organ processed through a VCS3), Roxy Music where it was played by original member Brian Eno who also used it on his solo albums, Led Zeppelin (played by John Paul Jones on 'Four Sticks,') Hawkwind, King Crimson, Jean Michel Jarre, Tangerine Dream, etc. The VCS3 Mk2, known as the 'Synthi' remedied some of the issues of the earlier iteration especially regarding the oscillator instabilities and issues with the power supply and added envelope triggering on external audio through the input channel. It's uncertain how many VCS3s were built, but some estimates put the number at 800. Doubtlessly, many of those had been discarded with the change of fashion that came with widely available digital synthesis and MIDI in the 1980s. This is a rare opportunity to purchase one of the legendary British synthesizers from the golden age of synthesizers. Loss of some of the silvered caps.
