Dennis ENDEAN IVALL (1921-2006) 'The Miner' and 'Old Quay & Cave, St Agnes Each watercolour and ink, signed, 25.5cm x 35.5cm; together with a 19th century miniature watercolour of a girl and a dog by a different hand, 10cm x 7cm. Dennis Endean Ivall was born in Essex in 1921, the youngest of four children. His father was then an accountant with ICI and his mother was a member of the Endean family of St. Agnes, so he visited Cornwall for holidays from an early age. He attended the Sir George Monoux Grammar School in Chingford, and then joined ICI. In the Second World War he enlisted in the Ordnance Corps, seeing active service in the retreat from Burma, and later in Ceylon and the Cocos Islands, where he reached the rank of Warrant Officer, First Class. After the war he trained as an artist and art teacher. Working at first as a freelance artist, he later became an art teacher in Barnstaple, North Devon – the nearest to Cornwall that he could get at the time. In 1973, Dennis took early retirement and moved to Cornwall, living at first at Ponsanooth and then for thirty years at Perranwell. He worked as a designer, a record agent and principally as a heraldic artist and designer, only retiring from this work when suffering from illness in the last three years of his life. Heraldic art was his great passion, and he carried out the design and painting of coats of arms for many clients across the world. He was the author of the book Cornish Heraldry and Symbolism and, among the work he carried out in Cornwall, was the painting of the organ panels at Cuby church, the repainting of the coat of arms at St.Dennis after the fire and the design and painting of a banner for St.Agnes and, of course, the banner of St. Piran in this church. Heraldry and his military service gave rise to an interest in army insignia and badges and, with Professor Charles Thomas, he was the author and illustrator of Military Insignia of Cornwall. He was a founder member of the Cornwall Militaria Group, and a long serving member of the Perranarworthal branch of the British Legion. His enthusiasm for heraldry led Dennis to join the Order of St.Lazarus, an international charitable order founded in the Holy Land. He was a member of the Commandery of Avalon in the West Country, and became Judge of Arms of the Commandery, of the Bailiwick of England and then of the whole order worldwide, attaining the rank of Knight Grand Cross. Although he was such a talented artist, with a worldwide clientele, he was always ready to lend his talents to local activities, whether painting scenery for Carnon Downs Drama Group, drawing posters for the Women’s Institute or touching up the lettering on the war memorial.

A poignant Second War Coastal Forces D.S.M. awarded to Ordinary Seaman T. W. Walkinshaw, Royal Navy, an 18-year-old rating who was decorated for his gallantry in M.T.B. 723 in the summer of 1944 but subsequently a victim of the terrible conflagration that engulfed Ostend harbour in February 1945 Distinguished Service Medal, G.VI.R. (Ord. Smn. T. W. Walkinshaw. C/JX. 579799.) mounted on original investiture pin, toned, extremely fine --- Importation Duty This lot is subject to importation duty of 5% on the hammer price unless exported outside the UK --- --- Provenance: Sotheby’s, December 1998. D.S.M. London Gazette 19 September 1944: ‘For outstanding courage, skill and determination in light coastal craft in successful actions with enemy forces.’ The original recommendation states: ‘For outstanding courage, coolness and devotion to duty in action against strong enemy forces on the nights of 9-10 June and 27-28 June 1944. In the first action this rating at his Oerlikon gun continued to fire with skill and accuracy although wounded in the leg. He refused medical attention until his boat had made a successful withdrawal.’ Thomas William Walkinshaw was born in Birmingham, Warwickshire in July 1926 but his family later settled in Lichfield, where his father was publican of the Angel Inn in Market Street. Young Thomas was briefly employed as an electrician at a Midland aerodrome prior to joining the Royal Navy, aged 16. Subsequently drafted to Coastal Forces, he was awarded the D.S.M. for gallant deeds enacted in M.T.B. 723 in actions in the Nore area in June 1944, when she was commanded by Lieutenant A. McDougall, D.S.C., R.N.V.R. and formed part of the 58th Flotilla. The first of those actions took place off Egmond on the night of 9th, when six boats carried out an attack on four enemy armed trawlers and a gun coaster, using newly delivered ‘magnetic pistol’ torpedoes (CCR). One of 723’s consorts was set on fire and sank with a loss of two men. Less than a week later – on the night of the 14th - five boats from the 58th Flotilla were back in action off the Texel, including 723, an enemy coaster being sunk and a large tug heavily damaged. Following these successful actions, 723 took a direct hit on her bridge during a ferocious fire fight off Ymuiden on the night of 4-5 July. An eye-witness who saw the fatal round find its mark later wrote, ‘a shower of red sparks burst amidships, she reeled, slowed, swung off course but regained station almost at once.’ Her bridge a shambles and her skipper ‘Archie’ McDougall mortally wounded, 723 nonetheless made it back to Lowestoft. Walkinshaw later transferred to M.T.B. 798, in which he was killed in Ostend on 14 February 1945, when a fire broke out during a refuelling session, causing catastrophic explosions of ordnance and petrol tanks. In what amounted to the greatest disaster to befall Coastal Forces in the entire war, a dozen boats were destroyed with a loss 64 officers and ratings, and a further 65 wounded. Aged just 18, he was the son of Charles Clarence and Beatrice Maud Walkinshaw, of Lichfield, Staffordshire. He is commemorated on the Chatham Naval Memorial. Sold with full research including copied photographs of the recipient and his crew.

Three: Ordnance Artificer Fourth Class T. Marsden, Royal Navy, who was killed in action during the First Battle of Sirte when H.M.S. Neptune, on convoy duty to Malta, struck four mines in quick succession off the Tripoli coast on 19 December 1941, and sank within minutes; of the 764 Officers and crew in Neptune only one man survived 1939-45 Star; Africa Star; War Medal 1939-45, with named Admiralty enclosure, in card box of issue addressed to ‘Mrs. E. Marsden, 673 Tongemoor Road, Bolton, Lancashire’, extremely fine (3) £60-£80 --- Thomas Marsden served during the Second World War in the Leander class light cruiser H.M.S. Neptune, as part of Force K deployed as convoy support to Malta. On 17 December 1941 the supply ship MV Breconshire was being escorted to Malta by Force K near the Gulf of Sirte, when the British ships sighted Italian battleships escorting a convoy to Tripoli. After seeing Breconshire safely into Malta, Force K sailed again to search for the Tripoli convoy. At 1:0 a.m. on 19 December 1941, whilst approximately 20 miles off the Tripoli coast, Neptune hit a mine. She then went full speed astern and struck two more mines, seriously damaging her propellers and rudder. The destroyer H.M.S. Kandahar went to assist but in doing so she herself struck a mine. At about 4:00 a.m. Neptune was struck by a fourth mine and sank within a few minutes. Only 16 men from a compliment of 764 survived the initial sinking and managed to climb aboard a raft; however, all but one man succumbed whilst on the open seas. The Neptune’s sole survivor, Able Seaman Norman Walton, was picked up by the Italians on Christmas Eve and made a prisoner of war. The loss of H.M.S. Neptune represented the greatest single tragedy for both the Mediterranean Fleet and the New Zealand Navy of whom 151 men were part of Neptune’s crew. Marsden was amongst those killed, aged 21. He is commemorated on the Plymouth Naval Memorial, and his medals were sent to his mother, Mrs. Emma Marsden.

Registration No: 553 XUH Chassis No: 16103248 MOT: ExemptCurrent ownership for over 20 yearsSupplied new to the MoDUnderstood to have been used by the Military Explosive Ordnance Disposal UnitThis is where `The Best 4x4 by Far' started - a utility vehicle devised in 1947 by the Wilks brothers for use on their farm and inspired by the wartime Jeep. Aluminium panels, used because of a shortage of steel, meant the bodies did not rust and thanks to an ingenious high/low ratio four-wheel drive system, the new small truck was possessed of incredible climbing ability in all conditions including glutinous mud. Initially powered by a 1595cc inlet-over-exhaust Rover engine, a 2-litre unit was soon adopted. More than 60 years after the prototype first ran, Land Rovers of all ages continue to give faithful service all around the world. Reputedly one of just 3,971 Series One 80-in Landies made for the ‘home market’ during the 1951 model year, chassis 16103248 was supplied new to the British Armed Forces. Allocated the armed forces registration ’33 BD 05’, the compact 4x4 is understood to have been used by the Military Explosive Ordinance Disposal Unit. Still sporting a Ministry of Supply plaque which indicates that it was subject to a ‘base overhaul’, the Land Rover was demobbed in 1965. Entering the current ownership over twenty years ago, the Series One exchanged its initial civilian number plate (‘FNU 947C’) for the current one (‘553 XUH’) in 2008. The Blue / Green paint worn by the engine suggests that it is a MOD reconditioned unit, while the vendor believes that the canvas tilt could well be original! Maintained in-house as part of a small collection of agricultural and off-road machinery, the Landie started readily and ran well during our recent photography session. Bearing military insignia once more, this delightfully patinated Series One has charm aplenty. For more information, please contact: Luke Hipkiss luke.hipkiss@handh.co.uk 07886398226
