Angelina May Davis Untitled, 2025 Gouache and pencil crayon on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Angelina May Davis is a contemporary painter and member of Contemporary British Painting. Her paintings are fabrications, plundering imagery from childhood TV and art history. She is interested in what shapes us, using the transformative act of painting to reflect on history and culture as well as her own sense of belonging. She has been restoring the English Elm as depicted in remembered films, archival footage and English landscape painting as a metaphor for loss and longing, recalling a nostalgic and insincere past. Her paintings are claustrophobic worlds in which there is ambiguity, artifice, and the possibility of things just out of view.

Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork Tattered ribbons hang from a bright upright tree, a TV set is on in the corner, and fragments of landscape are contained, framed and slide out of view in what is probably an artist's studio. Painting allows me to think about ideas simultaneously and constructed landscapes provide the settings for me to ruminate about history, pop culture, and my own sense of belonging.

Aluminium Binoculars Retailed By R & J Beck London,French, c.1890, engraved to each eyepiece 'R & J Beck, London' and further engraved to the drawer tube 'CECIL BOYLE Braghill Wimboldon', finished in polished aluminium with black leather covering in original leather case, missing its lid, length extended 38cmCaptain Cecil William Boyle was a notable English sportsman and military officer whose life was marked by significant achievements in both sports and military service. Born on March 16, 1853, in Westminster, London, Boyle excelled at rugby and cricket during his time at Clifton College and later at University College, Oxford.In the sporting arena, Boyle made a historic impact in rugby union by becoming the first Oxford University player to be selected for the England national team. He earned his cap in 1873 in a match against Scotland. In cricket, he played for Oxford University, where he was known for his fast round-arm bowling. During his brief first-class cricket career, he took an impressive 30 wickets at an average of 10.30. Notably, in a match against the Marylebone Cricket Club, he took 7 wickets for 40 runs in the first innings and followed it with a remarkable performance of 7 for 33 in another match, showcasing his considerable skill.Boyle's military career was equally distinguished. He served as a captain in the Queen's Own Oxfordshire Hussars and was later appointed a lieutenant in the Imperial Yeomanry for service in the Second Boer War. His dedication to duty was profound; he took 30 of his own horses to South Africa, where he fought in the war. Tragically, he became the first member of the Imperial Yeomanry to be killed in action during the Battle of Boshof on April 5, 1900. This battle marked a significant moment in the war, and Boyle's death was notably the first among the Yeomanry officers in this conflict.

Educated at Taunton School along with his younger brother William, he was a talented sportsman and captained the school cricket XI in both 1912 and 1913. After returning to Neath to join the family business he played rugby for the Y.M.C.A. and represented Neath R.F.C. at full back at least once in the 1913-14 season. He also turned out regularly for the Neath Cricket Club. He attested for service on the same day as his younger brother in December 1915, and after training in the Inns of Court O.T.C., in November 1917 he was commissioned into the Gloucestershire Regiment. Posted o the 2/5th Battalion, on 23 April 1918 his battalion launched a successful attack on a position called Bacquerolles Farm. The German retaliatory bombardment caused a number of casualties and Jack was one of four officers killed. He is buried in the St Venant Robecq Road British Cemetery, France. Sold with a silver mounted presentation cricket ball, silver band (no hallmarks) engraved: ‘Taunton School 1910. Average Ball won by Jack Griffiths who also won the average Bat’; and an original photographic image of Jack at Taunton School. William George Griffiths was born in 1896, the youngest of three sons to John Griffiths. Along with his older brother ‘Jack’ he was educated at Taunton School where, like his older brother, he excelled at sport. He spent a year in the school’s Officer Training Corps and after leaving studied mining engineering, with the intention of following his father into the coal exporting trade. He attested for military service alongside his brother in December 1915 and after a brief period in the Reserve and the Inns of Court O.T.C., was accepted for a temporary commission in the army. In July 1917 he landed at Alexandria to join 5th Battalion the Royal Welsh Fusiliers, in the 53rd Welsh Division, Egyptian Expeditionary Force. On 9 March 1918 his battalion was ordered to capture a position on Cairn Hill, adjacent to Tell ‘Asur.

The Second War bomb and mine disposal George Medal awarded to Lieutenant S. E. Jenner, Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, whose gallant work encompassed the Coventry Blitz of November 1940 George Medal, G.VI.R., 1st issue (Elec Lieut Stanley Edmund Jenner, RNVR.) mounted on original investiture pin, nearly extremely fine £2,800-£3,400 --- Importation Duty This lot is subject to importation duty of 5% on the hammer price unless exported outside the UK --- --- Provenance: Penrith Farmers and Kidds, March 2000. G.M. London Gazette 27 June 1941: ‘For gallantry and undaunted devotion to duty,’ The original recommendation states: ‘This officer in November 1940 rendered safe three unexploded enemy mines, two at Coventry and one near the R.A.F. Station, Wythall. One mine, which fell in Humphrey Barton Road, Coventry, called for particular courage and coolness. It first had to be towed out of a hole by rope before it could be dealt with, and this task was made more harassing by an unexploded bomb within 10 yards. During this operation Lieutenant Jenner was ably helped by A.B. Tuckwell, G.C., who showed his usual complete disregard of danger.’ Stanley Edmund Jenner was educated at St. Dunstan’s College, London, and was a playing member of Aldershot Rugby Football Club in the mid-1930s. Commissioned as an Electrical Sub Lieutenant in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve in September 1940, he was quickly enrolled as a bomb and mine disposal officer at the shore establishment H.M.S. Lucifer. An account of some of his subsequent ‘incidents’ appeared in the Reader’s Digest in September 1942: ‘The land [parachute] mine is wholly unpredictable. If one fails to explode in the usual 22 seconds, it is impossible to guess when its mechanism may suddenly start. Lieutenant Stanley E. Jenner, for example, once rushed off to deal with a mine which had crashed through two upper stories of a Birmingham flour warehouse and was lying on the sixth floor. “I didn’t like the situation at all,” he told me. “Moving it was out of the question and working on it there meant that I had no chance of escape if it should show signs of going off. “Well, I started to work and in about an hour the mechanism suddenly began ticking – the Nazi rattlesnake’s usual 22-second warning. I fell downstairs in a hurry, expecting next step would find me on my way to Kingdon Come in a cloud of flour. But nothing happened, so after a bit I went back upstairs and found that the ticking had stopped. Thirty minutes later the mechanism went into action once more. Again I moved out in a hurry. “This time, when nothing happened, I sat down and smoked a cigarette. I couldn’t leave the mine there, of course – flour is too valuable in England. So back I went for a third try. When the ticking started again 15 minutes later, I stuck on the job as though nothing was wrong. It stopped again and in two hours the mine was as innocent as a baby.” ’ The recommendation for Jenner’s G.M. refers to two parachute mines that he rendered safe in Coventry in November 1940, most likely after the most devastating Luftwaffe raid of them all on the night of the 14th-15th, when the city was attacked by 500 aircraft. But omitted from the recommendation is the following incident, as also described in The Reader’s Digest: ‘Sometimes a deactivating job can be completed in 30 or 40 minutes. Other mines require four of five hours of nerve-racking effort. In one mine that fell on Coventry, Lieutenant Jenner told me, gadgets were not where he expected to find them; the colour of the wires had been changed; things stuck; the whole internal set up seemed to have been altered – and there he was all alone with it in a vast area of gutted buildings. Suddenly the clock started ticking and Jenner raced towards an underground shelter which he had selected in advance. When the explosion came, he was completely buried but they dug him out unharmed.’ Jenner was advanced to Lieutenant in January 1941 and gazetted for his G.M. in June, but it would not be until May 1943 that he was able to attend an investiture. In the interim, for a subsequent act of gallantry in disposing of a UXB aboard the M.V. Empire Salvage, he was mentioned in despatches (London Gazette 2 September 1941, refers). The UXB may well have been one dropped by the Fleet Air Arm on 15 June 1941, when the ex-Dutch ship was in the service of the Kriegsmarine. She was then boarded and taken as a prize. Sold with his Royal Society of St. George membership certificate, dated 8 October 1941, and an original copy of the above quoted edition of The Reader’s Digest.
The rare Great War S.G.M. group of six awarded to Canon R. J. P. Peyton-Burbery, Chaplain, Royal Navy, for his gallantry in saving life at sea off Bermuda Sea Gallantry Medal, bronze, G.V.R. (Rev. Robert J. P. Peyton-Burbery, “Pollokshields” 8th September 1915); 1914-15 Star (Chapn. R. J. P. Peyton-Burbery, M.A., R.N.); British War and Victory Medals (Chapn. R. J. P. Peyton-Burbery. R.N.); Defence and War Medals 1939-45, mounted as worn, together with his black silk stole richly embroidered with the badges of a Naval Chaplain, very fine and better (6) £1,400-£1,800 --- Importation Duty This lot is subject to importation duty of 5% on the hammer price unless exported outside the UK --- --- Provenance: Dix Noonan Webb, September 1999. S.G.M. presented 25 November 1916: Rev. Robert J. P. Peyton-Burbery, M.A., Chaplain, R.N., H.M.S. Suffolk: ‘On the 7 September 1915, the S.S. Pollockshields (of Sunderland) stranded on the reefs at Bermuda and during the night the vessel broke in two. On the following day a whaler manned by local fishermen was launched and managed to secure a line to the wreck. The boat then veered astern just clear of the surf and Mr. Peyton-Burbery swam over to her from the beach with a line. As it was impossible to take the boat alongside the wreck, the shipboard men were hauled through the water into the boat by means of a buoy with endless line attached, and the boat was then hauled towards the shore and the men were assisted ashore through the surf.’ (BT 261/6, refers). Robert Jackson Peyton Peyton-Burbery was born on 27 October 1881 and was educated at Christ’s College, Cambridge, gaining a B.A. in Special Theology. Ordained as a Priest in 1908 by the Bishop of Winchester, he was appointed a Chaplain, R.N. in June 1909. He subsequently served as sea as Chaplain to H.M. Ships Achilles, 1909-10; Charybdis, 1910; Astraea, 1910-12; Euryalus, 1912; Russell, 1912-13; Suffolk, 1913-16, and Crescent, 1916-19. On retiring from the Royal Navy, he was Rector of St Mary’s, March, until 1968, and Rural Dean of March from 1937 until 1968, when he became Canon Emeritus of Ely, Cambridgeshire. Peyton-Burbery volunteered for service again in the Second World War and served as an Assistant Chaplain of the Fleet in 1939-41. At the Royal Military School at Thurlestone in 1944, when he was 63, it was said that in spite of his age he was still playing rugby and hockey, and that few cadets could beat him at rope-climbing. He lived for some years in retirement in Hampshire, and until his death in 1977 he was believed to be the oldest living clergyman who had been a naval chaplain.
