GARDNER Philip J.
A.L.s from Philip 'Pip' Gardner VC.
Single sheet measuring 6.0 x 6.0 ins (approx. 15.0 x15.0 cms), on blank stationery, and dated 18 June 1997; near fine state. THE LETTER IS WRITTEN, DATED AND SIGNED ENTIRELY IN 'PIP' GARDNER'S HAND, AND IS SOLD WITH A POOR QUALITY PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAIT. Philip John 'Pip' Gardner was gazetted for the Victoria Cross on 10 February 1942. The citation reads: 'On 23 November 1931 at Tobruk, Libya, Captain Gardner took two tanks to the rescue of two armoured cars of the King's Dragoon Guards, which were out of action and under heavy attack. Whilst one tank gave covering fire the captain dismounted from the other, hitched a tow rope to one of the cars, then lifted into it an officer, both of whose legs had been blown off. The tow rope broke, so Captain Gardner returned to the armoured car, but was immediately wounded in the arm and leg. Despite this he managed to transfer the wounded man to the second tank and returned to British lines through intense shell-fire'. Philip John 'Pip' Gardner (1914-2003) was serving with 4RTR in 32nd Tank Brigade during Operation CRUSADER, designed to destroy the bulk of Rommel's armour and force him to abandon his siege of Tobruk.

Harrison, Frank
Tobruk : The Great Siege Reassessed
No marks or inscriptions. A very clean very tight copy with bright unmarked laminated boards and no bumping to corners. Dust jacket not price clipped or marked or torn with creasing to edges. 352pp. This book is an analytical reassessment by a veteran of the campaign in the Western Desert during the Second World War. It has three principal sections, firstly the siege, in which the Australian 9th Division held out so manfully against Rommel's Afrika Korps, then the breakout, where the British 70th Division broke clear of the fortress to create a corridor towards an intended rendezvous with the Eighth Army, and finally an important appraisal of the main opponent the Allies faced - the Desert Fox, Erwin Rommel.
