The outstanding campaign group of seven awarded to Corporal C. J. O'Dell, Special Air Service & Parachute RegimentO'Dell served with the famed 11th Battalion at the Battle of Arnhem and was taken a Prisoner of War on 23 September 1944, when sharing in the fruitless task of relieving Frost's 2nd Battalion at Arnhem Bridge - he didn't go quietly, made good his escape but was re-captured by SS Troops in Holland with a hole in his leg; the gallant O'Dell subsequently saw further campaign service with the S.A.S.1939-45 Star; Africa Star; Italy Star; France and Germany Star; Defence and War Medals 1939-45; General Service 1918-62, 3 clasps, Palestine 1945-48, Malaya, Cyprus (866848 Pte. C. J. O'Dell. A.A.C.), neat rods between clasps, mounted as worn, good very fine (7)Charles John O'Dell was born on 2 July 1918 and was a joiner by trade upon his joining the East Surrey Regiment on 1 September 1938. He joined the Parachute Regiment and served with the 11th Battalion during the Battle of Arnhem. On 18 September 1944, the Battalion jumped under fire, onto DZ ‘Y’ at Ginkel Heath, in Holland, with the second lift at Arnhem during Operation Market-Garden. The 11th Battalion was fought to a stand-still suffering heavy casualties just over 1,000 metres short of relieving Frost’s 2nd Battalion at the Arnhem bridge, before falling back to the 1st Airborne Division perimeter at Oosterbeek.The remnants of the 11th Parachute Battalion, along with those from the 1st and 3rd Parachute Battalion’s, and the 2nd Bn, The South Staffordshire Regiment, would be put under command of the 11th Battalion’s Second-in-Command, Major. Richard Thomas Henry Lonsdale, and become known as ‘Lonsdale Force’. They would hold their positions from the 20-25 September.O'Dell himself was taken a Prisoner of War on 23 September 1944 and taken into captivity. He did his very best to make it back to allied lines:'Escapes attempted: YESFrom Holland but was retaken again, it was before I was registered. I was retaken in Holland. No I was not physically fit, I had a small hole in leg, was retaken by SS Troops.'He spent time at Fallingbostoll and then at Salzitter Arb. Kdo. 7005 building camp from November 1944-April 1945. Returned home, he saw further active campaign service in post-War Palestine with the 17th Parachute Battalion, Army Air Corps. He subqeuently transferred to the Special Air Service, with whom he appears to have served in Malaya & Cyprus. In the near future, when previously closed sources are opened to the public, may reveal that he was one of the original members of Brigadier ‘Mad’ Mike Calvert’s newly formed Malayan Scouts in 1950. O'Dell returned to Arnhem for the 50th Anniversary in 1994 and died at Colchester in July 2013; sold together with his Parachute Regiment beret.Please see Lot 456 for his miniature dress medals.…

Hans Holbein d. J., 1497 Augsburg – 1543 London, Kreis desHEINRICH VIII VON ENGLANDÖl auf Eichenholz. Parkettiert.23,5 x 18,5 cm.Auf dem Flammleisten-Rahmen verso Aufkleber „Sedelmeyer Gallery“.Beigegeben ist ein materialtechnologischer Bericht von Prof. Dr. Manfred Schreiner, Akademie der Bildenden Künste Wien, März 2025, das Alter des Werkes bestätigend.Das Halbbildnis ist eine Wiederholung nach Bildvorlagen, die den König mit Federbarett, Hermelinkragen und Goldkette zeigen. Der einheitlich schlichte Hintergrund ist in glattem Blau gehalten, als Komplementärkontrast zum Gold-gelb im Wams, den Bordüren und in den Goldketten. Wenngleich das Gemälde 1958 in einem Gutachten von M. J. Friedländer noch als Werk Holbeins angenommen wurde, lässt sich diese Ansicht nach heutigen Kriterien nicht mehr aufrecht halten. Das großformatige Original Holbeins ist 1698 bei einem Brand des Palace of Whitehall zerstört worden. Eine Kopie von 1667 und weitere nachfolgende Wiederholungen zeigen den Herrscher in unterschiedlicher Bekleidung. Eine wesentliche Beobachtung zeigt, dass in den sämtlichen frühen Gemälden das Federbarett, stets schräg auf dem Kopf, so dargestellt ist, dass die weiße Feder an der rechten Kopfseite herabzieht. Lediglich Kupferstiche nach den Gemälden zeigen dies seitenverkehrt. Der Maler hat sich an die extreme Feinmalerei Holbeins gehalten, was vor allem in der Wiedergabe der Damast- und Brokatstruktur zur Geltung kommt. Die Goldkette in Muschelgold aufgetragen. Rest. A.R.Provenienz: Gallery Sedelmeyer, Paris.Collection Cabroule de la Broderie, Paris.Collection J. G. Renard, Paris. (1430769) (11)Hans Holbein the Younger, 1497 Augsburg – 1543 London, circle ofKING HENRY VIII OF ENGLAND Oil on oak panel. Parquetted.23.5 x 18.5 cm.Accompanied by a material analysis report by Professor Dr Manfred Schreiner, Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna, March 2025, confirming the age of the artwork.Although M. J. Friedländer still regarded the painting to be a work by Holbein in his 1958 report, this opinion can no longer be supported based on today’s knowledge. A copy from 1667 and other subsequent repetitions show the monarch in different attire. An important observation shows that in all early paintings the feather beret, always at an angle on the head, is depicted in such a way that the white feather droops down on the right side of the head. Only copper engravings after the paintings show this reversed. The painter stuck to Holbein’s extremely fine painting, which is particularly evident in the reproduction of the damask and brocade fabrics. The gold chain is applied in shell gold.Provenance: Gallery Sedelmeyer, Paris.Cabroule de la Broderie collection, Paris.J. G. Renard collection, Paris.
