  • 45 Commando South Atlantic Medal

    A 45 Commando Royal Marines South Atlantic Medal with rosette. Awarded to Marine Michael Krolik RM.

    Correctly named to MNE 2 M A KROLIK PO42327Q RM

    The Royal Marines South Atlantic Medal Roll shows that Marine Krolik served with 45 Commando during Operation Corporate and was therefore entitled to his campaign medal and rosette.

    Having sailed ‘south’ on 10th April 1982 aboard RFA Stormness, 45 Commando eventually landed on Red Beach at Ajax Bay on 21st May 1982. Due to a lack of helicopters, they were forced to ‘yomp’ 80 km across East Falklands from San Carlos Bay via Teal Inlet to Mount Kent with each Marine carrying on average 120 pounds in kit.

    Having taken up position on Mount Kent on 4th June, the Commando spent the next week patrolling towards the peaks of Two Sisters. Finally launching a silent attack on this feature on the night of 11th June, 45 Commando encountered the heavily entrenched positions of the Argentine 4th Infantry Regiment, which were mined and well-defended. In order to achieve their objectives, X, Y and Z companies endured heavy Argentine machine gun, artillery, mortar and small arms fire. The ferocity of the fighting can be gauged by the fact that elements of ‘Zulu’ Company were obliged to take on entrenched Argentine positions with fixed bayonets.

    Yet by dawn on the 12th June, 45 Commando was in possession of its objective, but not without loss. In total, 3 Royal Marines and a member of 59 Commando Engineers were killed in action that night with 17 members of the Commando wounded. Argentine casualties amounted to 20 killed, and at least 60 wounded. Fifty-four members of the 4th Infantry Regiment were taken prisoner.

    Medal is accompanied by a piece of 'trench art', namely the percussion cap off a British 105mm artillery round dated 1980 and converted into an ashtray. A Falkland Islands 5p piece has been inserted inside the cap.

  • Royal Marine Light Infantry China War Medal 1900

    1900 China War Medal (no bar) awarded to Sergeant Hugh Frederick Webber, Royal Marine Light Infantry.

    Correctly named in square serifed capitals to H.F. WEBBER. SERGT. R.M., H.M.S. PIQUE.

    HMS Pique operated in China during the Boxer Rebellion of 1900. According to W.H. Fevyer and J.W. Wilson, editors of ‘The China War Medal 1900 to the Royal Navy and the Royal Marines’, (Eastbourne: Naval & Military Press, 1985), ‘H.M.S. Pique was a 2nd Class Cruiser of 3,600 tons and 300 x 43½ feet. Her armament consisted of 2 x 6 in, 6 x 4.7 in and 8 x 6 pdr guns. The vessel was built by Palmer and launched on 13th December 1890. She was sold on 9th May 1911 to Rudge.’

    The China War Medal Roll records that 289 medals were awarded to the ship’s company. None of HMS Pique’s crew, however, was eligible for the clasps ‘Taku Forts’, ‘Defence of Legations’ or the ‘Relief of Peking’.

    The medal roll not only confirms Sergeant Webber’s eligibility for the medal, but shows that as the senior NCO aboard HMS Pique, and with the absence of any RMLI officers, Webber in fact commanded the Royal Marine Light Infantry detachment, consisting of 30 Marines, assigned to Pique during the period 15th February 1900 to 31 December 1900.

    The medal is accompanied by a copy of Webber's service record, located in ADM 159/86, which attests that he was born in Paignton, Devon on 20th January 1868 and was a labourer before enlisting in the Royal Marines on 20th January 1886 at Torquay. It also confirms that Webber reached the rank of Seargeant within the Plymouth Division on 11th September 1893.

    Correctly named to RM. 21550 G.G. SILLS. MNE. R.M.

    Medal is mounted 'ordinary style' with a brooch pin on the reverse for wearing.

    Born in September 1940, Gordon Glynn Sills joined the Royal Marines in 1961. After completing basic training at Deal between 1961 and 1962, Marine Sills underwent further training aboard HMS Sheffield (two weeks) and with the SBS at RM Poole where he undertook a two month canoe course.

    Ellis's own Green Beret (named inside) with stay-bright Royal Marines Officer's Globe and Laurel badge, which he wore from 1966 to 1971.

    In Ellis's own words:

    'The beret was worn as a Troop Commander with 42 Commando RM on active service in Aden, when the Commando covered the withdrawal in November 1967 and was the last unit to leave. It was unusual to wear the beret with the shiny cap badge in a combat zone, as normally the second beret with the dull bronze badge would be worn, as it presented less of an obvious target. We were ordered to wear smart gear initially when we arrived from Singapore, however, as it was seen as an internal security operation. The order was rescinded when a Marine in my troop on OP duty was shot in the head. We, thereafter, donned full combat gear and wore our berets with the bronze badge until evacuation by helicopter from Khormaskar airfield perimeter to HMS Albion on 29th November 1967. Then back on with this beret on board ship.'
