Footnotes

Richard John Baynton Hippisley OBE CBE, he became an Honorary Lieutenant Colonel of the North Somerset Yeomanry in 1908. He had an interest in wireless telegraphy and while working at the Lizard in 1912 picked up messages from the Titanic. In 1914 he was made Commander RNVR. He set up a series of listening posts which enable the British to receive low wavelength signals from the German Navy. Other listening posts enabled the Royal Artillery to hear Zeppelin orders and predict their raids over Britain.

This pistol may be held under both catagories of s.7 Heritage Pistols in the U.K.
