The Charterhouse two-day September collector’s auction on September 9 and 10 includes a group of First World War medals to a Somerset lad. “The market for medals continues to be strong with collectors looking to add to their collections,” said Richard Bromell. “This combined with fresh to the market medals with a good side story produces great results.” The group of medals being sold by Charterhouse were awarded to Farrier Staff-Sergeant Stanley Layzell and come to the auction directly from a family relation. Layzell served in the Royal Artillery from the start of the First World War through to North West Persia and Iraq after the First World War. In addition, he was awarded a Long Service and Good Conduct Medal for exemplary service. Having served for King and Country, he settled down in Chard where he ran The Choughs Hotel. With the medals is a guest book from the hotel dating to 1931 with his business card glued in the front “Good Accommodation for Motorists & Cyclists, Garage & Good Stables”. The last entry in the book dates to 1935. Also with the lot is a letter from the Royal Army Service Corps dated June 19 1931. Addressed to Stan, albeit in poor condition, the type letter notes the gift of a silver cigarette case “…when you handle this case, we hope it will remind you of some happy occasions spent in our company, and, when puffing away at your ‘weed’, bear in mind all of us have expressed a unanimous wish for your good health, happiness and prosperity, in your new sphere… In conclusion, once again let us wish you all the best of good things, not only for yourself, but for Mrs Layzell and the baby….” The silver presentation cigarette case looks to have been appreciated and well used by Stan as it bears many dents. The medals, visitor book, letter and silver presentation cigarette

Spotlight on: East Dorset Riding Club

East Dorset Riding Club is based at Hurn Bridge Equestrian Centre, Parley Lane (by kind permission of Martin & Lisa Wickham). Hurn Bridge has a fantastic floodlit school, plenty of parking and a round pen for lunging – if you need to safely, and a sand warm up area. The majority of their events are held there, but theywe do sometimes use other venues so please check the Calendar of Events for more details. The club offers a community of friendly, like-minded horse riders and owners in the local area who want to enjoy their horses. They say: “No matter what you want to do, be it compete or just join in our social events, you will be welcomed, encouraged and supported. “EDRC strive to embrace all abilities of both horse and rider, to enable you both to progress. With our fantastic bank of trainers and instructors across all disciplines, from grass roots to the high level competitors, we aim to offer something for all. “Our goal is to offer top class training at an affordable price and further your knowledge from professionals which may not be available to you as an individual.” EDRC is affiliated to British Riding Club, which safeguards members with a clear set of rules and regulations. The club and its members are insured (3rd party public liability) at all events, whether on the club’s home ground or as guests at another venue. The fun side of being part of BRC is the opportunity to participate in their team events and qualify for regional and area championships, and of course the discounts that are offered to our members for being part of a large organisation.
