Rare Arnhem 'Theirs Is the Glory' Souvenir

A souvenir metal ticket from the premier of the 1946 film "Theirs is the Glory", and made of metal from one of the crashed gliders which carried the British 1st Airborne Division into battle at Arnhem. The film was a docu-drama covering the experiences of the British airborne forces at Arnhem and Oosterbeek, and was filmed on location with veterans of the battle itself. Directed by Brian Desmond Hurst and Terence Young, it received high critical acclaim. It was premiered simultaneously in Ottawa, Arnhem and the Gaumont Theatre in the Haymarket, London on the 17th September 1946. These special tickets were manufactured from alloy salvaged from a glider which took part in the Arnhem landings. They are of course seldom encountered and highly prized.

Rare Special Forces issue Wireless Set Number 46

The Wireless Set No 46 was a British Army portable manpack radio developed in 1941 for Combined Operations use, designed for beach landings and Commando or airborne operations. Manufactured by the firm E K Cole it provided R/T or MCW communications over short ranges of 6-10 miles. It was also designed to survive being submersed in seawater for up to one minute. This specialist equipment was issued on an operational requirement basis, though signalers highly regarded the instrument and units were known to retain these sets whenever the opportuinity arose. This as a very good untouched example of this important manpack wireless set.
