during the annual summer camps. he qualified as a pilot in early 1940 before being sent to france as a reinforcement to 501 squadron. but. before he could join them. the train on which he was travelling was bombed outside amiens and he lost all his belongings. casson managed to escape by boat back to england from cherbourg. after a brief spell flying hurricanes with 79 squadron at biggin hill. he rejoined 616 at leconfield. yorkshire. just as the battle of britain gathered momentum. at lunchtime on august 15. the fighter squadrons based in north-east england were scrambled to face the luftwaffe's most concentrated attack against industrial targets in scotland and the north of england. casson flew one of the 12 spitfires which met the enemy as they crossed the yorkshire coast. within minutes. 616 squadron had accounted for six of the unescorted bombers. with similar results achieved by other northern-based squadrons. a few days later. 616 flew south to kenley where the squadron was involved in some of the fiercest fighting of the battle as part of air vice-marshal keith park's no 11 group. casson and his colleagues were scrambled three or four times each day and losses mounted; in a five-day period 10 squadron pilots were killed or wounded. on august 30 casson was credited with a probable and a damaged heinkel 111. two days later he claimed an me 109 fighter. followed by the destruction of a dornier 17 bomber. after suffering severe losses. the squadron was withdrawn to kirton in lindsay on september 4 with just seven of the original 21 pilots fit to fly.

616 became fully operational again in early 1941. it was transferred and came under the command of the new wing leader. the legless pilot douglas bader. at tangmere. the squadron boasted a glittering array of outstanding pilots. including \"johnnie\" johnson and \"cocky\" dundas. with his steadying and mature influence. allied to the experience gained during the hectic summer days of 1940. casson became a section leader. on may 5. he shared in the destruction of a junkers 88. but was hit by return fire. and was forced to bale out over chichester harbour. throughout the summer of 1941. the wing

an me 109 when he went to the aid of a lone spitfire. but before he could join up he was engaged by a german fighter. cannon shells damaged his aircraft's engine. forcing him to crash near st omer. where he was captured. shortly after his arrival at stalag luft iii at sagan. it was announced that casson had been awarded the dfc. during his years in captivity. casson's outstanding talents as a draughtsman were put to good use by the camp's escape committee. he maintained a detailed and beautifully illustrated diary of events throughout his imprisonment. which he was able to salvage despite the horrors and privation he and his colleagues suffered on the \"long march\". during the severe winter of 1945 when the pows were driven eastwards ahead of the advancing soviet army. on returning home. casson rejoined the steel industry in sheffield. in june 1946 he was one of the first to volunteer for service when 616 squadron was reformed at raf finningley. the squadron was initially equipped with mosquito night fighters but it soon reverted to the day fighter role. flying meteor f 4s before re-equipping with the f 8 version. in january 1951. casson was promoted to squadron leader and appointed to command 616 squadron. his outstanding period in command culminated in the award of the esher trophy. awarded annually to the most efficient auxiliary air force squadron. casson

australia. on october 2 1917. after school. he received a cadetship in the royal australian air force and in 1937 sailed for britain. where he was granted a short service commission in the raf and was posted to no 72 squadron. during the battle of britain. desmond got his first victories and was shot down twice during the battle of britain. in the course of which he accounted for three enemy aircraft destroyed. one shared. two probably destroyed and two damaged. by the summer of 1940. sheen. was serving as a spitfire pilot with no 72 squadron. based at acklington. northumberland. although well to the north of the main area of the battle of britain. on august 15 the squadron was heavily engaged with the enemy. flying from denmark and norway. a luftwaffe force of more than 60 bombers with a 34-strong fighter escort was making for the raf's fighter bases in north-east england. with two other spitfire squadrons. no 72 raced to intercept them. in the ensuing action. beyond the farne islands. sheen accounted for two me 110 fighters. one of which almost did for him. flames and smoke appeared near the inside of the port engine. he said. the enemy aircraft. either with the pilot shot or in a deliberate attempt to ram me. approached head on left wing low. sheen took evasive action and saved his neck. a fortnight later. on august 31. no 72 was ordered south to no 11 group fighter sector station at biggin hill. kent - where they landed as the airfield was being heavily bombed. the next morning. having transferred to croydon. they were scrambled to intercept a large enemy force approaching london. this time sheen's aircraft was hit. as his cockpit filled with dense smoke. he released his straps. turned the spitfire on its back. pushed the stick forward and dropped out. it was a sunny day. and as he drifted to the ground he had a grandstand view of the battle several dogfights were going on and an me 109 went past me in flames. i think the pilot baled out but his harness broke and he didn't make it. on reaching the ground. sheen was confronted by a girl and a young army officer who. suspicious of the darker blue of sheen's old australian uniform. brandished a revolver. the misunderstanding cleared up. the girl took sheen to a nearby house where a party of guests were enjoying pre-lunch drinks on the lawn as they watched the battle in the sky overhead. four days later. back with his squadron. sheen was shot down again. as his spitfire hurtled towards the ground. sheen. though wounded. managed to release his harness. he was sucked out of the cockpit. but his boots caught on the windscreen and he was left lying on top of the fuselage. after what seemed an age. he recalled. my feet came free and i pulled the ripcord and my parachute opened with a terrific jerk. i just had time to see treetops underneath when i was in them. these broke my fall and i landed on my feet as light as a feather. a bobby appeared on the proverbial bicycle. he pulled out a flask. bless him. and handed it to me. 'you left it a bit late. ' he said. his first real taste of action came on october 21 1939. when he shot down two of some dozen heinkel 115 floatplanes that were attacking a north sea convoy off the yorkshire coast. in early december. north of arbroath in scotland. sheen shared in the destruction of an he 111 bomber. flying so low that he opened fire at a level below the top of a nearby lighthouse. he was hit by return fire and wounded in the leg. i stopped a couple of bullets. sheen explained. one went through my earphones and the other got me in the thigh. the most serious was a bullet in my fuel tank. the petrol began to stream into the cockpit. i went in again to attack but i was dizzy and decided to turn for home. after a spell in hospital. in april 1940 sheen was posted to the embryo photographic-reconnaissance unit which had been formed under sidney cotton. another intrepid australian. the two men flew down to the south of france and to sardinia where. flying unarmed spitfires. they made photo-recce sorties over italy. sheen resumed with no 72 at the end of july 1940 and later. after the battle of britain and a second spell in hospital. took part in a night action over the north sea which he described in a broadcast on the bbc. in bright moonlight. on the night of march 13-14 1941. he intercepted a ju 88. as i opened fire i could see my tracer bullets bursting in the junkers like fireworks. . . when i turned in for my next attack i saw that one of the germans engines was beginning to burn but just to make quite sure of him i pumped in a lot more bullets then i had to dive like mad to avoid ramming him. not long after this. sheen received command of no 72. flying from biggin hill. he led the squadron - and sometimes the spitfire wing - in offensive sweeps over occupied europe. subsequently. he held staff appointments and station commands in britain and in the middle east. he was awarded a dfc in 1940 and a bar to it in 1941. sheen was released from the raf in 1947. but in 1949. dropping in rank from wing commander to flight lieutenant. he rejoined with a permanent commission. from 1950 to 1952. he commanded no 502. a royal auxiliary air force fighter squadron equipped with spitfires. and later with vampire jets. in 1954. he was posted to the central flying establishment's air fighting unit. and a year later to raf leuchars. in scotland. as wing commander flying. subsequent appointments included the command of raf odiham (1962-64). and group captain organisation at transport command. after retirement in 1971. he joined the bac/british aerospace to administer the company's bac 111 and concorde marketing teams. he died aged 83 in 2001. single vendor raf cover collection. good condition. all autographs come with a certificate of authenticity. we combine postage on multiple winning lots and can ship worldwide. uk postage from £5.99, eu from £7.99, rest of world from £9.99"},"estimateMax":10,"lotNumber":"89","url":"https://uk.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/chaucerauctions/source/catalog/auction/68577/lot/261463/view","tags":["ukCollectibles_MedalsandMilitaria","ukCollectibles_philately","ukCollectibles","ukCollectibles_all"],"directSalePrice":8,"soldPrice":10,"lastUpdate":"2026-07-25T00:37:42.200Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"£8 -

of junior infantrymens battalion signed lt col commanding. 31 july 1974 bfps 1458 shorncliffe camp re-designation of junior infantrymens battalion special postmark. redesignation of junior infantrymens battalion to the infantry junior leaders battalion. personally signed by lt col. commanding junior infantrymen. s battalion shorncliffe. on 31st july 1974 the junior infantrymen's battalion at shorncliffe was redesignated \"the infantry junior leaders battalion\". in 1952 the infantry boys battalion was formed and stationed at tuxford. once again harrogate played a part as 'a' company was permanently detached to harrogate. the infantry boys battalion was something different however. the success of training young apprentices was to be transferred to infantry training. the concept was simple. recruit young men between the ages of 15 and 17 who had the potential to become non commissioned officers and warrant officers. give them top class educational training alongside leadership and infantry training to prepare them for rank. the battalion name was changed to the infantry junior leaders battalion in 1954 to reflect the status of the young people who were selected and the high quality training aimed at producing nco's and warrant officers. the battalion moved first to plymouth when 'a' company joined them from harrogate and in 1960 it moved to park hall camp oswestry where it was to be stationed for the next 15 years. at this time under the auspices of lt colonel coutts and lt colonel barker (later brigadier general barker) the syllabus was amended to reflect the sandhurst training model. the first year was a mixture of education and military training. education was based upon a syllabus to enable the 'junior leader' to obtain army certificates of education which would enable them to gain promotion in their service careers. most were successful in obtaining ace senior or first class levels in such subjects as maths. english. current affairs. map reading etc. which meant that they were able to be promoted to warrant officer level due to this achievement. the second year was military training culminating in several strategic tests such as an escape and evade exercise and a march and shoot alongside tactical and weapon training. signalling was also covered to ensure a fully rounded professional soldier passed out. those passing the entrance exam to become junior leaders at the recruiting office were from all walks of life and all parts of the country. the infantry junior leaders battalion became known as the nco's sandhurst as it successfully trained nco's and warrant officers for the guards and the 54 regiments of the line. oswestry continued to be the base for ijlb and many ex juniors were posted back as permanent staff instructors as they were promoted through the ranks. this was extremely successful as their experience of being junior leaders was invaluable in passing on insights and motivating the junior soldiers. at this stage the lowest permanent staff training instructor was a sergeant instructor. junior leaders themselves were designated junior nco's and warrant officers and were given the responsibility of section commanders. platoon sergeants. company sergeant major or regimental sergeant major with the corresponding responsibilities. the junior regimental sergeant major took the whole responsibility for the battalion passing out parade whilst other junior nco's and warrant officers took appropriate responsibilities for their rank. so successful was the concept that ex junior leaders became the backbone of the british army for many years right into the new millennium. in 1967 the junior infantrymen's battalion was formed at shorncliffe in kent. in 1970 a junior infantryman's wing was added to the oswestry camp. these recruits were young people who were unable upon enlistment reach the desired level for joining ijlb. in 1973 the infantry junior leaders battalion was awarded the 'freedom of oswestry. in recognition of its association with the town an unusual accolade for a boys battalion. in september 1972 and in preparation for the change in the school leaving age the last intake to complete the 7 terms (two years training) was taken in at oswestry. intakes in january 73 completed 6 terms. april 73 5 terms and september 73 4 terms. new intakes were not recruited after january 1974 all those at oswestry passing out together in december 1974 when the camp closed. single vendor raf cover collection. good condition. all autographs come with a certificate of authenticity. we
