A GREAT WAR AND SECOND WORLD WAR M.C. C.B.E. MEDAL GROUP, Awarded to Brigadier Alec Pendock Aveline C.B.E. M.C., 1897-1982. Royal Berkshire Regiment. GV Military Cross with box of issue, C.B.E. with box of issue, War and Victory impressed (2. LIEUT. A.P. AVELINE.), GV Service Medal with N.W. Persia clasp impressed (LIEUT A.P. AVELINE), GV India Service Medal with Waziristan 1921-24 clasp impressed (LIEUT. A.P. AVELINE R. BERKS. R.), GVI Defence and Service Medals, Elizabeth II Coronation Medal, 1953. All but the C.B.E. bar mounted with miniatures. Photographs in uniform, Identity Card, Farwell Dinner Card 1947, badges, engraved pocket watch, maps, trophy cup, tags and other related items and ephemera. Literature: The Biscuit Boys, Interlude II - 1st Bn (Nov 1916 to Apl 1917). 5th February 1917. "A party of two Officers and fifty-nine other ranks was employed, and it is significant that its captures of prisoners exactly equalled it's own numbers... They were supported by twenty five Lewis gunners and thirty seven stretcher bearers. The casualties of the raiders were slight, and the raid was recognized as one of the most successful of the war... The leading wave (Second-Lieut. Aveline) jumped the eastern arm of the salient on a front of about 40 yards... The raiding party had to pass through three rows of concertina barbed wire, 2.1/2 feet thick... The appreciation of it by the Commander-in-Chief is evidenced by the immediate grant to the Officers in charge of the raid: the D.S.O. to Burgess and M.C. to Aveline.".
