EXTREMES OF HUNGER AND HARDSHIP A GREAT PRINCIPLE OF POLITICAL JUSTICE WAS VINDICATED £2,000-3,000

The date on Anna Smith's Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) Medal, '21st May 1914’, pinpoints the occasion of the act for which shewas arrested, imprisoned and went on hunger strike. Not unusually there is no specific mention of Anna in the main accounts of that day andthe court appearances that followed (for example, in 'Votes for Women'. 'The Suffragette', 'The Times'). In common with most other women whoparticipated in acts of civil disobedience at this time, she remains anonymous, except for her medal. Publicity was inevitably centred on the majorplayers, such as Mrs. Pankhurst, Sylvia Pankhurst, Annie Kenney etc. Reporting the names of participants was difficult because of the number ofwomen involved and the fact that many Suffragettes refused to give names and address when arrested and tried. Indeed, they often gave false details.

Nonetheless, the events of 21 May 1914 itself are well documented and constitute a famous incident in Suffragette history. They followed an eventfulcouple of months which had seen escalating damage to churches, mansions, grandstands, golf links, paintings in art galleries and to other public mon-uments and installations. Much police activity followed, aimed at arresting the culprits and preventing further civil disobedience and criminal damage.

On 21 May, the WSPU organised a deputation to Buckingham Palace with the intention of presenting the King with a number of grievances, espe-cially the lack of progress in its campaign to enfranchise women. About 200 women participated, led by a very weak Mrs. Pankhurst, who hadonly recently been released from prison after being on hunger strike. As the planned deputation had been well advertised in advance, the author-ities were prepared and had drafted about 1,500 Constables into the neighbourhood and put a cordon put around the entrances to the Palace.At the top of Constitution Hill there was a force of Mounted and Foot Police, with Mounted Police at the top of the Mall and opposite WellingtonBarracks. There was also a large crowd of spectators, many, though by no means all, ill-disposed to the Suffragettes.

As the vanguard of the Deputation approached Constitution Hill, scuffles broke out and several women were pushed to the floor and, apparent-ly, one policeman felled by a club, which some of the women carried as protection. Soon the violence escalated and it was reported by the womenand some onlookers (who became more sympathetic to the WSPU as events unfolded) that Police brutality had exceeded that experienced inParliament Square of the infamous 'Black Friday', on 18 November 1910. Accounts said that the Police had struck the women, sometimes usingbatons, and had thrown them around 'like hockey balls'; others were 'ridden down'. Eventually the demonstration was broken up even before itreached Buckingham Palace and this resulted in 68 arrests (including two men). Mrs. Pankhurst was taken back to Holloway. Those arrestedreported further violence at the Police Station with the 'plain clothes Police being the most brutal'.

Next day, the women appeared at Bow Street, still refusing the give their names and addresses and, according to 'The Times', behaving in a dis-orderly manner. Before proceedings started, someone engaged for the purpose played 'The Marseillaise' on a cornet outside the court and hadto be found and removed. Inside the court there were scuffles as the women were dragged into the dock. A bag of flour and an egg were thrownand a boot was aimed directly at the Magistrate (who caught it). This and the disorder in the public gallery, led to Sir John Dickinson clearingthe court before proceedings could continue. Most of the women refused to be bound over or to pay fines, hence they were sent to Hollowayprison, where most went on hunger strike only to be released after a short period of time due to their weakened condition.

Following the events of 21 May, further significant acts of damage took place with the WSPU arguing that the King had acted unconstitutionallyby not receiving the delegation. Such acts included the harming of pictures in the National Gallery and Royal Academy, also of a mummy casein the British Museum in London as well of other targets throughout the country. But such activities did not have long to run as, with the adventof war in August 1914, most former woman activists became focused on more patriotic acts.

Regimental Order 1019 of 1917, 9th Battalion, Royal Warwickshire Regiment.

“His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief is pleased to place on record his appreciation of the gallant conduct of the undermentioned Officers,Non-Commissioned Officers and men who volunteered to assist in quelling a fire which broke out in the coal bunkers of one of His Majesty’sTransports when at sea.

The ship’s engineering staff were unable to overcome the fire, which had been gaining headway for some days. The gas fumes form the burn-ing bunkers caused frequent and terrific explosions and the heat in the bunkers was tremendous. 25 per cent of the volunteers who were sentdown were severely burned, gassed or injured. Notwithstanding these hazards the fire was overcome. The Commander-in-Chief considers thatthe gallantry displayed by both Officers and men was of the highest orders and reflects the greatest credit on themselves and their regiments.”

The following information is taken from Stanistreet, Allan, Brave Railwaymen:

GEORGE RHODES was born in Dudley, Worcestershire on 15 December 1886 one of 12 children. On leaving school after working as a moulder anda builder he joined the London and North Western Railway and during this time he assisted in loading the anchor of the ill-fated Titanic at DudleyPort.

Prior to the outbreak of the Great War George Rhodes served in the local militia and when war broke out, he and four of his brothers volun-teered for service in the forces. This was a record for any Dudley family and all the more remarkable since all five were to return. On 13 August1914 he joined the 9th Battalion of the Royal Warwick Regiment. By 1916 the Battalion was engaged in the Mesopotamia campaign and he wasstationed in Baghdad.

In May 1917, Acting Company Sergeant-Major Rhodes was at sea aboard H.M. Troopship Caronia, which was travelling from Durban to TunghiBay when a series of fires occurred in the bunkers. After several days the crew had to call for assistance from the troops aboard. A number vol-unteered to go into the bunkers and they gave valuable help in extinguishing the flames. One officer and 18 N.C.O.s and other ranks, as well astwelve crew members were all awarded the Sea Gallantry Medal for the incident.

After demobilisation George Rhodes returned to the L&NWR and on the 11 December 1919 he received his medal from the hands of the King atBuckingham Palace. He was again in the news in February 1941, when he rescued a friend, Harold Foster, from a canal at Tipton Staffordshire.He died in 1972 aged 83.

As far as can be ascertained George Rhodes is the only railwayman to have received the Sea Gallantry Medal since its inception in 1855.

Military Cross: London Gazette: 24 January 1946 (General Citation for North West Europe).

The following is taken from the official recommendation:“Major Gordon landed by glider in Normandy of D Day and was in charge of the Royal Ulster Rifles 6 pounder Anti-tank guns, who were respon-sible for the anti-tank defence of Longueval. During the early days the village was repeatedly attacked by strong armoured forces form the 21st

Panzer Division. These attacks were driven off and several enemy tanks knocked out. His inspiring leadership and courage during these battlescontributed to a great extent the success achieved by his Battalion.

In early August 1944 Major Gordon assumed the appointment of Brigade Major, 3rd Parachute Brigade, and carried out his duties with outstand-ing success during the battles in the Bois de Bavent and the Brigade’s advance on the Seine which concluded in September 1944.

He was with the Brigade throughout the battles in the Ardennes in the winter of 1944-45.

After playing a leading part in the Brigade planning for the Rhine offensive, he dropped with them over the Rhine on the 24th March 1945. Hiscomplete disregard for danger and imperturbable disposition contributed in no small way to the great success achieved by the Brigade immedi-ately on their re-organisation on the conclusion of their drop.

After the breakout from the Rhine bridgehead until the brigade reached Wismar on the Baltic, Major Gordon’s outstanding staff work, calm judge-ment and advice contributed largely to the success of the Brigade’s operation.

Throughout the campaign in France and Germany form 6th June 1944 to 10th May 1945 Major Gordon’s great devotion to duty and complete dis-regard of danger have proved an inspiring example to all ranks in the Brigade.”

On 12th December 1944, Gnr Coxon was employed as a signaller responsible for maintaining the line communication with the observation poston Mt CERERE. During the day this feature was strongly attacked by the enemy and the observation post subject to heavy artillery and mortarfire, line communication was cut several times, and on such occasions Gnr Coxon left his shelter without hesitation and made repairs, thus main-taining vital communications. All repairs were carried out in the open under intense shell, mortar and small arms fire. One mortar bomb landedso near that Gnr Coxon was blown on his back , and another wounded a fellow signaller a yard or two away.

If it had not been for the fearless way in which Gnr Coxon exposed himself to maintain constant communications, it would not have been pos-sible for fire to have been brought on to the enemy reserves moving up and the battle might well have been different.

The official citation reads:

In the early hours of 18 July 2006 Private Copping was the driver of a Warrior, as the lead platoon of a Brigade level arrest and search opera-tion into the heart of Basra at the height of the state of emergency.

His was the first vehicle to enter the city and shortly after, came under intense small arms and rocket propelled grenade fire from the Shia flatsarea of the city. The enemy were utilising every opportunity to blind and confuse the Warrior with light and multi-directional ambushes and thestreets were strewn with obstacles. It was at this stage the crew were struggling to identify both the enemy and the route to take to push ontothe objective. Copping opened the driver’s hatch to gain greater situational awareness. From his exposed position he immediately began iden-tifying the enemy positions that were pouring grenades and small arms fire upon the vehicles and steered his gunner onto them; a number ofenemy positions were destroyed as a result. He remained calm and continued to keep the hatch open despite the enormous amount of fire hereceived as lead vehicle; instead he talked the gunner onto target after target.

Private Copping has demonstrated a near complete disregard for his own safety in order to do what he believed to be the act needed to ensurethe vehicle, platoon and operation did not become bogged down. Despite very real and obvious danger he put second his own safety for thesake of his team and loyalty to what he knew was right.

The lot is offered with: a framed copy of the official citation; eleven original photographs, including some of Private Copping on duty in Iraq, andtwo of the Investiture Ceremony; various newspaper cuttings, mostly relating to the award of the Military Cross but including one relating to the2008 F.A.

The following is taken from the official recommendation:“…N.T.O. in charge of the Emtsa River, where transport was particularly difficult owing to the extreme shallowness of the river (fell to 18 inch-es). Displayed great energy and zeal and managed this difficult tributary with marked ability.”

Distinguished Service Cross: London Gazette: 24 November 1942:“For courage and determination in the Mediterranean.”

The following is taken from the official recommendation:“H.M.S. Farouk was Lieutenant Commander Lockington’s idea and he chose and fitted out the vessel. He had “Q” boat experience in the last warand though 53 years of age put the heart of a young man into the enterprise. Unfortunately his only action with an enemy U-boat took place atlong range and his carefully laid plan to send a way a panic party and wait until the u-boat closed did not materialise. The U-boat did not closebut destroyed his vessel from a distance of from 3,000 to 4,000 yards; but this did not prevent Lieutenant Commander Lockington and the major-ity of his crew from remaining on board until she was literally blown from under them.

I consider this to be a magnificent example of cool courage in the face of heavy odds, in the hope that even at the last some opportunity mightturn up to attack the enemy.”

There appears to be no Gazette entry for the Order of St Stanislaus; it is however listed by Ray Brough, White Russian Awards, p.108, andLockington’s service details contain the following marginal annotation:“Unofficial permission to wear ribbon of the Order of St. Stanislas, 2nd class with Swords, 15.11.19.”

H.M.S. Farouk was a Palestine two-masted schooner requisitioned by the Admiralty as a transport vessel in 1940 and brought 200 prisoners-of-war from Mersa Matruh to Alexandria in December 1940. Later the vessel was converted in Alexandria to a Q-ship, armed with two hidden guns.

At 10.09 hours on 13 June 1942, U-83, commanded by Hans-Werner Kraus, spotted Farouk off Ramkin Island and began shelling her from a dis-tance of 9,000 metres. The ship evaded all shots until being hit after 15 minutes and soon caught fire amidships. The planned panic party hadabandoned ship in a lifeboat, but the U-boat never came close enough for Farouk to engage her and soon the remaining crew had to leave in asecond lifeboat before the schooner sank at 11.50 hours.

While with Colonel Guard’s force his behaviour both in command of troops and on special service carryingimportant despatches was always of the utmost gallantry: On one occasion, disguised as a peasant he car-ried an urgent cipher message to General Finlayson’s Headquarters through 80 miles of hostile territory inface of great natural difficulties and obstacles.

His health broke down owing to these exertions, but he nevertheless continued to carry out patrol work ofthe utmost value until November 23rd, when he was ordered to return to Archangel for duty with GeneralSavvitch.

The conduct of this Officer has throughout been of an order demanding the highest courage, determination and energy.”

Morton & Eden Ltd.’s Authenticity Guarantee

If Morton & Eden Ltd. sells an item of

Property which is later shown to be a

“Counterfeit”, subject to the terms below

Morton & Eden Ltd. will rescind the sale and

refund the Buyer the total amount paid by

the Buyer to Morton & Eden Ltd. for that

Property, up to a maximum of the Purchase

Price.

The Guarantee lasts for two (2) years after

the date of the relevant auction, is for the

benefit of the Buyer only and is non-

transferable.

“Counterfeit” means an item of Property

that in Morton & Eden Ltd.’s reasonable

opinion is an imitation created with the intent

to deceive over the authorship, origin, date,

age, period, culture or source, where the

correct description of such matters is not

included in the catalogue description for the

Property.

Property shall not be considered Counterfeit

solely because of any damage and/or

restoration and/or modification work

(including, but not limited to, traces of

mounting, tooling or repatinating).

Please note that this Guarantee does not apply

if either:-

(i) the catalogue description was in

accordance with the generally accepted

opinions of scholars and experts at the date of

the sale, or the catalogue description indicated

that there was a conflict of such opinions; or

(ii) the only method of establishing at the date

of the sale that the item was a Counterfeit

would have been by means of processes not

then generally available or accepted,

unreasonably expensive or impractical; or

likely to have caused damage to or loss in

value to the Property (in Morton & Eden

Ltd.’s reasonable opinion); or

(iii) there has been no material loss in value of

the Property from its value had it accorded

with its catalogue description.

To claim under this Guarantee, the Buyer

must:-

(i) notify Morton & Eden Ltd. in writing

within one (1) month of receiving any

information that causes the Buyer to

question the authenticity or attribution of the

Property, specifying the lot number,

date of the auction at which it was

purchased and the reasons why it is believed to

be Counterfeit; and

(ii) return the Property to Morton

& Eden Ltd. in the same condition as at the

date of sale and be able to transfer good title in

the Property, free from any third party claims

arising after the date of the sale.

Morton & Eden Ltd. has discretion to waive

any of the above requirements. Morton &

Eden Ltd. may require the Buyer to obtain at

the Buyer's cost the reports of two

independent and recognised experts in the

relevant field and acceptable to Morton &

Eden Ltd. Morton & Eden Ltd. shall not be

bound by any reports produced by the Buyer,

and reserves the right to seek additional

expert advice at its own expense. In the

event Morton & Eden Ltd. decides to rescind

the sale under this Guarantee, it may refund

to the Buyer the reasonable costs of up to

two mutually approved independent expert

reports, provided always that the costs of

such reports have been approved in advance

and in writing by Morton & Eden Ltd.
