7½'' x 4½'' No. 979 of 1000 Limited Edition British East African Campaign | 19 January - 27 November 1941 Flown Cover flown cover SIGNED to the front cover 'Eric Wilson V.C.' Certification signed by Group Captain W. S. O. Randle to the rear + three cachet inserts + 5'' x 3'' white card SIGNED 'Eric Wilson V.C. | Somaliland Camel Corps'. Most unusual for E. C. T. Wilson to have added 'Somaliland Camel Corps' underneath his autograph. Two Certificates of Authenticity (one for each signature) also enclosed. The formal citation for Wilson's VC, published in the London Gazette in October 1940 when he was still presumed dead, reads: 'The KING has been pleased to approve of the award of The Victoria Cross to: Lieutenant (acting Captain) Eric Charles Twelves Wilson, The East Surrey Regiment (attached Somaliland Camel Corps). For most conspicuous gallantry on active service in Somaliland. Captain Wilson was in command of machine-gun posts manned by Somali soldiers in the key position of Observation Hill, a defended post in the defensive organisation of the Tug Argan Gap in British Somaliland.

Dimensions six inches by eight. Four of the photographs very good, the other good, but with staining in one corner (capable of professional cleaning). Good, clear, professional images against a black background. The goblet was commissioned by Bonham Carter from Whistler as a wedding present to the present queen of England on her marriage to the Duke of Edinburgh. The body is etched with intricate images and the words 'Elizabeth | so be it ever, joy and peace. | And mutual love give you increase, | That your posterity may grow | In fame, as long as seas do flow. | The words of Thomas Campion, on the Marriage of PRINCESS ELIZABETH 1613'. On the base: 'The Twentieth of November 1947 | from Mark Bonham Carter'. The latter's address onj the front of the envelope partly obscures previous addressees, including Laurence Whistler himself. Perhaps Whistler recycled. See Image.
