Biography : Son of Walter Reid, C. Aberdeen ; born Aberdeen, 10 February 1891 ; educated at the Grammar School ; student in Science, 1907-08. He studied chemical engineering at Aberdeen and Glasgow and subsequently in France and Germany, and became F. At the outbreak of war he was with the firm of Orr’s Zinc White Ltd. He served as a Private in the Liverpool Scottish before the war, and in 1913 was commissioned 2nd Lieutenant in the West Lancashire R. In June 1915, after serving in England since mobilization, he went overseas and served in Gallipoli, Egypt, the Sinai Peninsula and the Balkans. For his services at Salonika, where he was in temporary command of a Greek Labour Battalion, he was mentioned in dispatches.

He died at Archangel on 6 November 1918 of illness contracted on service.

Ww1/ww2 Rn Officer Medal Group Mine Instr, Casualty Luftwaffe Bombing Raid 1941

Here is a most unusual RN WW1 WW2 Casualty Medal Grouping being a WW1 15 Star Trio named to R. Comben (Leading Seaman on Star) & PO on BWM & Victory. CPO Richard Edward Comben was born in 1890 and joined the Navy as a Boy II in 1913 where he served on board HMS Impregnable, then on a number of other ships including HMS Terrible, Jupiter, Swiftsure and Euryalus etc. He then appears on King George V, Excellence, Gossamer and Circe including shore bases like HMS Victory. Vernon and Dido etc. Most of the above are WW1 postings up until 1919. He then appears to leave the Service but rejoins and is promoted in 1926, to (CPO,). Then in 1939 on HMS Victory in Portsmouth before joining HMS Vernon. The latter being a shore base which was responsible for Mine disposal and which specialisied in counter measures on German Mines & Torpedo’s. On April 8th 1941 the sirens sounded and most of the personnel went into the shelters at 21.45 hrs. The Luftwaffe had deployed a major raid on Coventry that night but a subsidery force was sent to bomb Portsmouth. Between 21.45 hours and 0245 hours enemy aircraft of Luftflottie 3, mainly made up of HE111′s dropped 40 tons of H. E and 12.536 Incendiaries on the Portsmouth area. A number of direct hits left much of HMS Vernon in ruins. Over 100 RN and civilian personnel were killed including CPO Richard Comben. He was laid to rest in the Military section of Portsmouth Highland Road Cemetery. The Gruppenkmdr of 1/KG55, Hptm Otto Bodemayer was piloting one of the six enemy aircraft shot down in this and the Coventry raid with his Bomber crashing in Leicestershire. He survived to become a POW. After the raid HMS Vernon was moved to quieter areas with parts relocating at Roedean School in Brighton. The group consists of his WW1 1915 Trio together with a 1939 War Medal contained in an original period tin. This was his only WW2 entitlement and he was not entitled to a Defence medal having not served a straight 3 years at home. His sporadic service also presumably denied him of a LSGG medal. There is also a small diary and various original photos inc an Xmas party at HMS Vernon in 1940 plus one of King George VI etc. The group also comes with some of his PRO papers which state DD (Date off Death) 8th April 1941, “Vernon”, by ENEMY ACTION. Military personnel who served throughout WW1 and died during WW2 as a result of enemy action are rare.

Rare WW1 Bronze British War Medal Chinese Labour Corps Casualty

I have been clearing a few items from my fathers estate, this medal I remember playing with as a child in the early 1970′s, according to my father he was given the medal as a boy in London from a Chinese family who lived nearby and who worked in the docks area, they told him the recipient of the medal had died in the first world war, my brother was able to check with the Commonwealth war graves people and download a copy of the certificate commemorating his death. The medal which comes in the rarer bronze metal is marked around the rim with: No 40732 Chinese L. C, the certificate shows that this relates to Labourer Lo Hai Ch’lng 40732 100. Coy Chinese Labour Corps who died on 22 November 1917 and who is remembered with honour at the Arques-La-Bataille British cemetery. To go with the medal is a small brass trench art shell case pot, this is marked to the base Aug 1918 with other numbers and symbols, the outside of the pot is very faintly decorated (and hard to photograph) with two fish and two flower pots and running from top to bottom are two lines of Chinese characters, obviously I havent the first clue what this means but I would like to think that it is in celebration of Lo Hai Ch’lng’s life. The medal is very dirty and the ribbon is very rough, there is a bump on the edge near the number, the shell case is in good condition but faintly decorated as previously stated, this stands 3.5 inches high.
