This auction is conducted by Morton & Eden Ltd.

in accordance with our Conditions of Business

printed at the back of this catalogue.

All questions and comments relating to

the operation of this sale or to its content

should be addressed to Morton & Eden Ltd.

and not to Sotheby’s.

Important Information for Buyers

All lots are offered subject to Morton & Eden Ltd.’s Conditions of Business and to reserves.

Estimates are published as a guide only and are subject to review. The actual hammer price of a lot may

well be higher or lower than the range of figures given and there are no fixed “starting prices”.

A Buyer’s Premium of 15% is applicable to all lots in this sale. Excepting lots sold under ‘Temporary

Import’ rules which are marked with the symbol ‡ (see below), the Buyer’s Premium is subject to VAT at

the standard rate (currently 17½%). Lots are offered for sale under the auctioneer’s margin scheme and

VAT on the Buyer’s Premium is payable by all buyers.

Lots marked with the symbol ‡ have been imported from outside the European Union (EU) to be sold at

auction under Temporary Importation Rules. When released to buyers within the EU, including the UK,

the buyer will become the importer and must pay import VAT at the rate of 5% on both the hammer price

and the Buyer’s Premium. In effect this means that the invoice total for most EU buyers, including the

Buyer’s Premium, will be at the level of the hammer price + 20.75% (i.e just over 3% higher than the rate

of 17.625% which typically applies to lots sold under the domestic Auctioneer’s Margin VAT scheme).

Buyers outside the EU will not be required to pay temporary import VAT provided that satisfactory

documentary evidence of exportation is obtained. Further information on this matter is available on

request.

Morton & Eden Ltd. will be pleased to execute bids on behalf of those clients unable to attend the sale in

person, subject to our Conditions of Business. All bids must be submitted in writing in good time and lots

will always be purchased as cheaply as possible (depending on any other bids received, reserves and

competition in the saleroom). This service is offered free of charge.

Morton & Eden Ltd. can supply quotations for the shipping of purchases, including transit insurance and

VAT refund administration fees, and will assist in the application for any export licences which may be

required. Buyers are reminded that it is their responsibility to comply with UK export regulations and

with any local import requirements.

Payment Instructions

Payment is due in sterling at the conclusion of the sale and before purchases can be released. Please note

that we require seven days to clear sterling cheques unless special arrangements have been made in

advance of the sale. We are pleased to accept major credit cards, for which a surcharge will be made of

3% of the transaction total. There is no charge for payments made by debit card.

until June 1839 he served on H.M.S. Melville off the coast of Africa. He was appointed Lieutenant in November 1841 and was soon afterwards

MAJOR GENERAL WILLIAM DUNLOP SMITH served on special services in the Dongola Expedition of 1896, for which he was mentioned in despatches

(London Gazette, 3 November 1896) and also awarded the Order of the Medjidjie, 4th class and the Khedive’s medal. Two years later he was

involved in the Nile Expedition of 1898 and took part in the Battle of Khartoum. For this he was again mentioned in despatches (London Gazette, 30

September 1898), and also received the Queen’s medal and clasp to his Khedive’s medal.

During the South African War of 1899-1902, Smith served as a Special Services Officer with the Bechuanaland Protectorate Regiment. He was

involved in operations in Transvaal in 1900, including action at Rhenoster Kop, and later saw action in Orange River and Cape Colonies before

returning to the Transvaal in late November. In March 1901 he took part in operations in Cape Colony before serving in Orange River Colony from

May 1901 to May 1902. Smith was once more mentioned in despatches (London Gazette, 10 September 1901), and received the Queen’s Medal

with three clasps and King’s Medal. He was subsequently promoted to Veterinary Captain, was further promoted to Major on 7 January 1906 and

again to Lieutenant-Colonel on 13 October 1913.

Smith served on the Staff during the Great War, based in France and Belgium at various periods from August 1914 to August 1916 before moving to

Mesopotamia from 4 October 1916 to 30 August 1917 and 5 November 1917 to 11 August 1918. He was mentioned in despatches on five occasions

(London Gazette, 19 October 1914, 4 January 1917, 15 August 1917, 12 March 1918 and 27 August 1918), awarded the Distinguished Service Order

(London Gazette, 18 February 1915 ‘For services in connection with operations in the field’) and created a C.M.G. in 1917. In October 1916 he was

made a Temporary Colonel, and further promoted to Temporary Brigadier-General (5 November1917) and Acting Colonel (28 September 1918).

After the War Smith was appointed Director-General of the Army Veterinary Services in 1921 and was created a C.B. in the same year. He

retired in 1925 and died in February 1940.

‘A young Hastinger, Private W. Jones, 2nd Royal Sussex Regiment, of 94 Manor Road, has had the misfortune to lose his hand in the Battle of the Aisne.

“We had been in the firing line about two hours and it was getting a bit warm, and one of the German officers showed his handkerchief on a

sword for surrender” said he. “We took their rifles and ammunition from them when the German Artillery opened fire on us. Of course

everybody scattered. A piece of shell caught my rifle and another piece struck my hand. I was dazed and did not know at first that I was

wounded.” Luckily a comrade bandaged his hand and arm, and he got back to the village hospital.

This was on the 15th September, close to village called Vailly. Private Jones had been in action once before on the 10th. Vailly is about 3½ miles

from the Aisne.

Private Jones’ hand and wrist were amputated on the boat, during his voyage back as it was feared mortification would set in. Since coming back

to England he spent some time at his colonel’s place at Teston, near Wateringbury.’

PRIVATE WILLIAM THOMAS JONES (1894-1969) was wounded near the Aisne 15 September 1914 and discharged from the army 6 December

1914. Following his discharge he became a Civil Servant, starting as a War Office messenger. He was awarded the Imperial Service Medal 26

Distinguished Flying Cross: London Gazette, 23 September 1941:

‘This officer has completed twenty operational sorties in daylight with damaging results. In June, 1941, he carried out a very successful low-level

attack on railway yards south of Olderburg causing great damage to rolling stock. Some time afterwards he participated in a raid on Nordeney.

After bombing he attacked gun emplacements on the coast with machine gun fire. In an attack on shipping in July, 1941, Squadron Leader

Kennedy, flying at a height of only 50 feet, bombed and destroyed an 8,000 ton merchant vessel. In August 1941, he participated in an attack on

enemy shipping off the Dutch coast. In the face of intense anti-aircraft fire, he pressed home his attack from a bout 50 feet and destroyed a 4,000

ton merchant vessel. Squadron Leader Kennedy has displayed great leadership, courage and devotion to duty.’

Bar to the Distinguished Flying Cross: London Gazette, 18 September 1942 and 2 October 1942 (joint citation with A/FO 47171 H.A. Asker

D.F.M. and F/O C/J4432 G.A. Casey):

‘On 19th August 1942, Squadron Leader Kennedy and Flying Offices Asker and Casey were pilot, navigator and wireless operator/air gunner

respectively of the leading aircraft of a formation of bombers detailed to carry out an attack in support of the combined operations at Dieppe. The

formation was met with formidable anti-aircraft fire and Squadron Leader Kennedy’s plane was repeatedly hit, one engine being put out of action.

Flying Officer Casey was wounded in both thighs, while his co-gunner was critically injured. In spite of this, Squadron Leader Kennedy, resolutely

supported by the skilful navigation of Flying Office Asker, led his formation over the town at low level and released his smoke bombs with precise

accuracy on the target. Meanwhile, Flying Officer Casey, disregarding his injuries, engaged the enemy’s defences wherever they came within reach

of his guns. Squadron Leader Kennedy eventually flew his damaged aircraft to base and landed safely. This officer, gallantly supported by Flying

Officers Asker and Casey, displayed great courage, skill and determination.’

GROUP CAPTAIN JOSEPH SHAW KENNEDY joined the Air Force in 1939 and first took part in operations in June 1941. In the following month he

was to start to earn his sobriquet of ‘The lowest flier in the R.A.F,’ when on 16 July a tree top lodged in his engine nacelle during a low-level

attack on the docks and shipping at Rotterdam. His reputation for low flying was enhanced by several more hair-raising experiences. While

flying Bostons in 1942, Kennedy had to take violent low-level evasive action to avoid a flak emplacement during a bombing run. Conscious of

the puffs of black smoke from the enemy guns, Kennedy quickly let go three of his bombs, closed his bomb doors, and applied full rudder. He

skidded round to the right, in the process dragging his wing along the ground, incredibly knocking a German soldier off his bicycle with one of

his machine guns. The German was propelled straight up into the air, while his bicycle carried on riderless.

Later, on 19 July 1942, Kennedy successfully bombed a large textile factory on the northern outskirts of Lille, and set course for base flying at tree-

top height. Near St. Pol he was caught in a withering cross-fire between two German flak emplacements. Kennedy’s forward gun scattered the

gunners of one battery, but a shell-burst in the Boston’s port wing knocked out the engine and considerably altered its aerodynamic qualities.

Desperate ground-hugging evasive action then forced him to fly under some high tension cables, or rather through them, sustaining further damage to

his aircraft. With the navigator’s bombing panel now smashed, a draughty course was set for the French coast at Berck-sur-Mer, and the Boston was

safely brought back to base on the remaining engine. The plane was examined for damage on its return, and the official report states “The shell

apparently burst on impact on the underside of the inner wing, adjacent to portside of fuselage. The aircraft…hit and severed ¼ inch copper high-

tension cables, which cut through the port wing tip…impressions of the high-tension cables occurring on the reduction-gear casing, port propeller,

ignition harness, nose cowling, bomb-aimer’s panels… A portion of high-tension cable was extracted from the port engine, during the ground

examination.” Part of the cable was fashioned into a napkin ring for the Kennedy’s daughter, Jane, and remains a treasured family possession.

Kennedy was to lead the first raid by American bomber crews, fittingly on 4 July 1942, on enemy occupied territory; their mission was to bomb enemy

aerodromes in the Netherlands. Of the twelve Bostons that took part six of the aircraft were manned by personnel of the American Army Air Corps.

Kennedy’s service in Blenheims was recognised with the award of a D.F.C. in September 1941. A year later he added a bar to his D.F.C. for

equally spectacular work on Bostons - in particular for his leadership and courage in the laying of an effective smoke screen for the ill-fated

Dieppe raid on the 19 August 1942. Considerable flak was encountered and Kennedy’s aircraft was continually hit. Reduced to flying on one

engine, his air-gunner George Casey wounded in both thighs but maintaining fire regardless, his passenger Flight Lieutenant McWilliam,

mortally wounded, he led his formation long enough to successfully lay the smoke screen before limping to Shoreham for a crash-landing.

In December 1942, Kennedy was ‘loaned to the Canadian Government.’ Most operational pilots seemed to regard instructional tours with more

trepidation than confronting the enemy, but Kennedy attacked his post as Armament Chief Instructor, No. 31 Bombing and Gunnery School, Picton,

Ontario, with his customary enthusiasm. The remaining months of the war saw him in warmer climes, when he was appointed C.O. Khartoum.

After the war, Kennedy commanded Turnhouse, Shepherd’s Grove and Bentwaters and was S.A.S.O. for 65 Group, before becoming Air

Attaché, Bucharest, in April 1954. This near three year tour behind the Iron Curtain appears to have had more than its fair share of excitement.

It is now common knowledge that diplomats of all sides were given instructions to keep their ears and eyes open, at the very least, and as such

were virtually espionage agents. It would appear that Kennedy’s appointment was no different. At one time the K.G.B. abducted him and caused

him great discomfort but fortunately he managed to escape their clutches.

In April 1959, Kennedy was forced to retire from the R.A.F. on medical grounds, and on 17 November 1971 he died aged just 57.

a) Log book covering November 19 1938-Sept 14 1942, from which the following entries from

1940 are taken:

‘July 18: I was flying in formation practice flight, one section, and by chance at 17000 ft. we encountered one JU 88 alone, and led by

F/Lt. Hanks D.F.C., No.1, 2 and 3 all put a long burst or two into the E/A. F/Lt. Hanks shot the port engine away and we followed in

with more bursts, a Hurricane which tailed on to us was shot down by the rear gunner of E/A. JU 88 crashed near Chalford. 3 of crew

bailed out, one; the rear gunner’s parachute did not open.’

‘July 31: Squadron engaged approx. 25 ME 109 over channel. I put 3 bursts into one but no effect was observed, I then tried two

deflection shots at another, which passed beneath, this also was non-effective. The Huns broke off combat and we chased them to

Calais. I was shot up and had to land minus U/C.’

‘August 8: Squadron engaged 20 ME 109 over Dover also approx 40 JU 87. I got onto a JU 87 and caught it with 3 long bursts, killing

rear gunner and damaging fuselage. I was the engaged by two ME109 after a short scrap during which I put the rest of my ammunition

into one, I broke off the engagement. R. Isaac missing.’

‘August 8: Squadron again engaged approx. 20 ME 109 over Dover, and as they attacked from the rear, I dived and one passed

beneath me. I gave chase and put 5 medium bursts into it as the pilot jettisoned his load, I closed up an put another long burst into the

cockpit and the E/M keeled over and went down in flames. K Davis (bailed out) & Squier killed in action.’

‘August 9: Squadron intercepted and engaged approx 60 ME 109 over mid channel. They split up to attack us and we kept in section

formation, however after I went straight, one group of them (was) firing short bursts all the time. I turned round to go back into them, saw

that the enemy had broken off the scrap and were heading back to France. We gave chase to them but were turned back by flack. J.Mann

wounded.’

‘August 11: Squadron intercepted and engaged about 15 ME 109: chased them back to France, 4 miles off coast I got behind one and

gave him a medium burst, saw him last diving gently with smoke coming out.’

‘August 12: Squadron engaged 100 ME 109 mid channel, we were hopelessly outnumbered but gave them a running fight down the

channel. Andreae & Roberts missing.’

‘August 12: Squadron spotted various large VICs of enemy aircraft, about 5 VICs of 60 each we intercepted 30 Do 215 which were off

Folkestone. I got separated from squadron and caught the tail end of one of them as the bombed Hawkinge. I gave him all I had and he

went down in smoke and crashed.’

‘August 15: Engaged 4 ME 109 balloon strafing, chased them back to France, one got back.’

‘August (15): Again engaged 15 ME 109. I was shot up and managed to reach Hawkinge and force land.’

‘August 18: 40 HE 111 bombed Kenley from 300 ft., we…dived down to engage. I chased one and he rolled and looped etc. I gave

him all I had over Redhill and he crashed nearby. I chased another but was forced to give up as I had no ammunition. Later on we

intercepted approx 150 HE 111 above clouds and green section did another attack on rear section. No effect was observed. We then

chased them as far as mid channel and finished our ammunition on them. C.O. bailed out. Finally we were jumped by ME 110. I was

shot about and had to bail out over Maidstone.’

‘Oct 23: Squadron engaged 15 ME 110. Self badly damaging one just off coast of France. I was then forced to turn back owing to the

sky suddenly being filled with ME 109s.’

A Great War Distinguished Service Order and Military Cross Group, Seven, Capt.

T. Peverell, 4th

Battalion Seaforth Highlanders, who was recommended for the

Victoria Cross and taken Prisoner-of-War, Distinguished Service Order, George V,

Military Cross, George V, 1914 Star and clasp, British War Medal, Victory Medal, with

oak leaf for Mention in Despatches, Defence and War medals, the 1914 star officially

renamed, generally good very fine or better (7) £5,000-7,000

Distinguished Service Order: London Gazette 30 January 1920:

‘His Majesty the King has been graciously pleased to approve of the undermentioned rewards in

recognition of gallant and distinguished services in the field which have been brought to notice in

accordance with the terms of Army Order 193 of 1919. To be dated 5 May 1919, unless otherwise

stated.’

Military Cross: London Gazette 1 January 1917 (general citation).

The following is taken from Lieut.-Colonel M. M. Haldane, A History of the Fourth Battalion The

Seaforth Highlanders, concerning the Battalion’s attack on Ancre Heights, October-November

1916 and on Cambrai, 20 November 1917.

(Captain Peverell’s account of the attack on Ancre Heights):

‘…I think I remember Colonel Unthank estimating that during a period of about ten hours they were coming at the rate of about one a minute-

mostly 5.9’s-in the close neighbourhood of Battalion Headquarters and of the dug-outs in the vicinity, the exact location of which was, of course,

known to the Germans. No less intense than the German shelling was the constant clamour from Brigade Headquarters for overdue reports,

returns, etc., which it was most difficult to cope with, owing to the telephone lines, both rear and forward, being continually cut by shell fire, and

to the almost impossible task of locating the breaks and keeping them repaired. Communication had, to a very large extent, to be maintained by

runners, who at times could not get near Headquarters, and, when they did, could not get away from it. As on many occasions, the Company

Battalion and Brigade runners, as well as the signallers, who constantly were out repairing the lines, performed their duties in a way which

anyone who realizes the importance, and the dangerous and exacting nature thereof, knows thoroughly how to appreciate…’

(The attack on Cambrai):

‘…At the east end of the village Captain Peverell had made a desperate stand on the Cambrai road. Here, assisted by Sergeant Robb of the Brigade

Machine Gun Company, who formerly had been in the Battalion, he held on until hardly an unwounded man remained. The Germans were fast

gaining ground, and when further resistance became only a matter of minutes. Captain Peverell ordered those who could to save themselves. He

himself was badly wounded in the leg and refused to be moved. None the less he continued the fight until the Germans were on him, thus covering

the retirement of the survivors. Captain Peverell gives the following graphic account of what befell him after he had been taken prisoner:

‘It was later in the day that a small party of several Germans - I had numerous visitors during the fifteen hours I lay out - debated whether or not

to “give me another.” Opinions seemed equally divided. I hoped that it would not be a bayonet, but something quick. Fortunately some others

arrived and gave casting vote against the proposal. Another one later on amused himself by walking up and down about ten yards away from me

for about ten minutes with a stick bomb in his hand. His amusement was at least equalled by my lack thereof. Others helped themselves to my

field glasses etc. One sportsman divided what money I had into two parts, kept one for himself, and gave me back the other; an officer saluted

and had a chat, and, quite unsolicited, said he would write to Cox’s and tell them that I was a prisoner.

‘Once the whole thing was over the situation was not without interest, if it had not been for the intense cold and the depressing thought of having to

sojourn in durance vile ‘for the duration.’ It was interesting to watch for once, on the wrong side, the progress of the battle and the relief at night of enemy

troops who had carried out the counter-attack. A particularly distressing thought was the uncertainty as to what had happened to one’s friends.’

The action is described in a letter from one of his fellow officers.

‘That morning in Fontaine, Peverell and I had a very cheery breakfast together. P. was suffering from rheumatism, but was most lively and

cheery trying to interrogate Boche prisoners. He raised a good laugh against himself when he asked one man in German, “What division are

you?” The prisoner replied in English “Five days ago.”

‘When the situation grew acute he went to readjust the position, and later I joined him there. Later it grew quite untenable with shell fire and so

we hopped it. He was roaring with laughter, as though it were the greatest joke in the world. Afterwards we separated and he took the centre

position, and I understand he went on fighting until all the ammunition was used up and nearly all the men were out. He was wounded in the legs

and very few of his men got away.

‘…Captain Peverell was recommended for the V.C.: as he was wounded and a prisoner of war it was difficult to get him the recognition his

gallant action had deserved; but later he was awarded the D.S.O.’

After he was taken prisoner of war the German surgeons treating him decided that it was necessary for his leg to be amputated.

Notwithstanding his disability, he volunteered his services at the outbreak of the Second World War so he could ‘free an able bodied man from a

desk job,’ and served in the War Office, working for the Department of the Chief of Imperial General Staff.

The lot is sold with the original warrant for the Distinguished Service Order, a photograph taken while Captain Peverell was a prisoner-of-war

(illustrated), and photocopies of extracts from the Battalion History.

Harding also received the Baltic Medal, the Ashantee Medal, and a Brazilian Medal and Warrant for Lifesaving (see below). The

lot also includes a small photograph of the recipient wearing his complete group of medals, an old fragment of blue V.C. ribbon,

Harding’s own account of the Bombardment of Alexandria as published in The Royal Magazine, 1907, copy correspondence and

a substantial file of newspaper cuttings (some items framed for display).

Victoria Cross: London Gazette, 15 Sept. 1882:

Mr. Israel Harding, Gunner, Royal Navy

‘At about nine o’clock, on the morning of the11th July, whilst Her Majesty’s Ship

“Alexandra” was engaging the Forts at Alexandria, a 10-inch spherical shell passed

through the ship’s side and lodged on the main deck. Mr. Harding hearing the shout

“there is a live shell just above the hatchway,” rushed up the ladder from below, and,

observing that the fuze was burning, took some water from a tub standing near, and

threw it over the projectile, then picked it up and put it into the tub. Had the shell

burst, it would probably have destroyed many lives.’

ISRAEL HARDING was born in Portsmouth on Trafalgar Day, 1833. He was proud of

his naval heritage; his grandfathers were a King’s pilot and a master mariner, whilst

his father was for many years Queen’s pilot at Portsmouth. At the age of fourteen he

began a distinguished naval career on joining his father’s ship, the H.M. steam vessel

Echo, as a cabin boy.

On the Echo Harding was involved with the successful salvage of H.M.S. Sphinx,

stranded off the Isle of Wight. Between 1849 and 1853 he served in H.M.S. Arrogant

before joining the Gunnery School H.M.S. Excellent, where he was a member of a

party testing Sir Joseph Whitworth’s invention of a new gun with a rifled bore. The

weapon exploded unexpectedly, fortunately whilst being fired remotely and therefore

without loss of life.

Harding spent two years on active service in the Baltic and was present at the

Bombardment of Sveaborg (Baltic medal). On his return he served in the Channel

Squadron, jumping into a stormy sea on one occasion to rescue two men who had been

swept overboard. He became a Warrant Officer in 1860 and was assigned to the

Barracouta as Gunner on the Expedition to Mexico, taking part in the Occupation of

H.M.S. Alexandra

Vera Cruz and the rescue of the gunboat Plover (for which he was

recommended for promotion to Lieutenant although this was not,

in the event, approved). From H.M.S. Gladiator, stationed off the

Brazilian coast, Harding led a landing party to assist in fighting a

serious fire which broke out on the night of 12/13 June 1871. For

his part in successfully extinguishing the blaze, Harding was

presented with a Medal and Warrant (believed to have been a 2nd

Class award for Lifesaving) by the Princess Imperial of Brazil,

acting as Regent for her father Don Pedro II.

During the Ashantee War Harding served aboard H.M.S. Victor

Emanuel, operating as a hospital ship, and received the Ashantee

medal. He subsequently spent three years in command of the

Castor, a drill ship for Naval Reservists on the Tyne, before

undertaking a gunnery and torpedo training course. Still a Warrant

Officer, he was appointed to H.M.S. Alexandra, one of 16 Royal

Navy ships of the Mediterranean Squadron despatched to

Alexandria in May 1882.

Following the expiration of Admiral Sir Beauchamp Seymour’s

ultimatum to Arabi Pasha, the Alexandra, stationed opposite the guns

of Fort Ras-el-Tin, opened the threatened bombardment of the forts of

Alexandria at 7 am on 11 July 1882. She soon came under returning

fire, with Captain Hotham (according to Harding’s own account)

having a narrow escape at an early stage of the engagement. Harding,

whose own duties were extended as a result of the illness of the

Alexandra’s gunnery lieutenant, was moving through the ship towards

the after-magazine when a further shell penetrated well into the ship,

passing through the armour-plating and the torpedo lieutenant’s cabin,

its fuse still burning. The men of a nearby fire party raised an alarm to

which Harding responded instantly – he extinguished the fuse and

carried the heavy ten-inch shell to a tub of water, which fortunately

rendered it safe. His action undoubtedly saved many lives and severe

damage to the ship; he later attributed the all-important promptness of

his response to instinct and to “early training in a hard school”. As well

as receiving the Victoria Cross, he was promoted to Chief Gunner.

The Alexandra bore the brunt of Egyptian gunfire and sustained about

60 hits in all, although casualties were luckily relatively light with one

man killed and three wounded.

Israel Harding’s final post was as officer in charge of naval

recruitment at Portsea. He retired in 1885 and died in May 1917 at

the age of 83, whilst visiting Billingshurst, Sussex. He was

accorded a funeral with full Naval Honours at Southsea (a copy of

the relating General Order by Admiral Colville is included in the

lot). Harding’s son received a letter of condolence from Admiral

Lord Charles Beresford (who had audaciously drawn enemy fire at Alexandria as Captain of the gunboat Condor): …“your gallant father, he

was a grand old gentleman and a brave seaman, the heroic act he performed at Alexandria justly earned him the Victoria Cross. He was a very

old friend of mine and I always regarded him with respect and esteem”… .

Provenance:

Amongst several specific bequests in Israel Harding’s Will were the following:

To his son Joseph:

Sword, Baltic medal, Brazilian medal, and a photograph of the presentation of the VC by Sir Beauchamp Seymour (Lord Alcester) in Malta;

To his daughter Louisa Clara:

Ashantee medal (and a work table);

To his daughter Annetta:

Egypt medal and Khedive's star (and ‘a satin picture of Queen Victoria’).

Harding stipulated that his Victoria Cross was to be drawn-for by all the beneficiaries of his Will, including the above. A July 1937 article from

a local Canadian newspaper, which is included in the lot, relates that the VC was at that time in the possession of another daughter, Miss E.

Castora Harding. Miss Harding, whose unusual name was chosen because she was born whilst the family was quartered aboard the Castor, was

reported as being on a visit to Canada accompanied by her sister Mrs. Dash (née Harding) of Calgary, the holder of their father’s Egypt medal

and Khedive’s Star. The three medals have descended to the present owner whilst the whereabouts of the others are currently unknown.

CHARLES SNODGRASS RYAN (1853-1926), was born in Derriwait, Upper Macedon, Victoria and was educated at Melbourne Grammar School and

University, finishing his medical studies in Edinburgh where he graduated as a surgeon in 1875. Following his graduation he travelled

throughout Europe.

While in Rome he noticed an advertisement in the Times announcing that the Turkish Government had vacancies for twenty military surgeons

and decided to apply for the post. Returning to London he applied in person at the Turkish Embassy and was accepted for the job. Two days

later he was en route for Constantinople, and on arrival was told to hold himself ready for active service in the Serbian war. A week later he

departed for Bulgaria and remained there until the armistice of December 1876.

On 24 April 1877 Russia declared war on Turkey, and in July Ryan was dispatched to Plevna which had recently been taken from the Russians,

arriving in the town on the 18th. The following day the Osman Pasha arrived with the main body of troops. On the 20th General Schilder-

Schulder launched the Russian attack upon the town and Ryan was to experience the full horrors of battlefield injuries in a commandeered school

house converted into a field hospital. He was impressed with the fortitude with which the Turkish soldiers bore their injuries, many cases which

were considered hopeless recovered and returned to active service. He was hampered by the Turks’ refusal to touch alcohol, even as a medicine

and their refusal to submit to amputation, believing that the loss of a limb would prevent them from entering Paradise. The first battle ended in

the Turks holding the town but with losses of over a thousand troops.

On 30 July General Krüdener launched a second attack on the town. Ryan

was to witness some of the battle first hand and almost had his retreat into the

town cut off. By the 31st the Turkish forces defeated the Russian attack, this

time with considerably fewer casualties than the Russians.

Following the capture of Pelischat and Lovtcha, the Russians launched an

artillery barrage on Plevna on 7 September which lasted for three days. The

following day the general assault commenced, and the Third Battle of Plevna

ended with the Russians again defeated but still investing the town. A few

days later the tail end of the Turkish supply convoy containing, amongst other

things, the medical supplies, was captured by the Russians. This was to spell

disaster for the field hospitals, where outbreaks began of small-pox, typhoid

and gangrene. Soon after Ryan was slightly wounded by a piece of shell

casing in the back of the neck, and the wound later developed into an abscess.

Eventually, suffering from a virtual breakdown in his health, Ryan asked for a

leave of absence which Osman Pasha granted. Due to the subsequent

blocking of the road to Plevna he was not to return there again.

Following leave in Constantinople Ryan was sent to Erzerum on the Black

Sea. which was in a desperate state following the defeat of Mukhtar Pasha.

Soon after his arrival in November 1877 a typhus epidemic broke out. On 8

January 1878 Ryan contracted the disease but fortunately after twelve days he

began to recover, and by the following month he had shown reasonable

improvement. On 31 January an armistice was signed, and on 17 February the

Turks started to evacuate Erzerum under the terms of the armistice. Soon

afterwards Ryan received a telegram from Constantinople informing him that

he had been awarded the fourth class of the Order of the Medjidjie, and he was

subsequently to receive the 4th class of the Order of Osmanie as well as the Turkish war medals. With the war finally ended he left Erzerum on

31 March, having received a vote of thanks from the Stafford House Committee, and returned to England via Trebizond and Constantinople.

Nearly 20 years later, in 1897, he was to publish his memoirs, Under the Red Crescent, describing his time in Turkey.

In 1880 Ryan, now back in Australia, was to become involved in another famous historical event. Following Ned Kelly’s capture after

the gun battle at Glenrowan, Northern Victoria, Kelly was transported by train from Benalla to Melbourne to await his trial. By virtue

of being duty surgeon for the Victoria police, Ryan accompanied Kelly on the journey and attended to his wounds.

Later, Ryan became the Turkish Consul General in Australia, and was decorated with the higher grades of the Orders of Osmanie and the

Medjidjie. During the First World War he was Principal Medical Officer of the Australian Forces and by special permission he was allowed to

wear his Turkish ribands. A man who did not suffer malingerers gladly, having seen the gallantry of the Turkish soldiers at Plevna and Erzerum,

it is said that when visiting soldiers in field hospitals he would throw a tennis ball in the air; anyone catching it was liable to be sent back to the

front. For his war service he was awarded the C.B. in 1916 and the C.M.G. and K.B.E. in 1919. He died on 25 October 1926.

MEDALS AWARDED TO MEMBERS OF THE BUCKLE FAMILY

The following four lots comprise the awards presented to four succeeding generations of the Buckle family. All attained the rank of

Admiral and their exploits are associated with several important episodes of British Naval history in the 18th and 19th centuries. The

very extensive Buckle Family Papers, preserved in the West Sussex Record Office at Chichester, give a unique perspective on Naval

and Military affairs of the period. The contents are précised in Readman, A.E. (ed.), "The Buckle Papers", Chichester, 1978.

edge marks caused by the swivelling of the mount and light touch-testing, good extremely fine and extremely rare £40,000-60,000

MATHEW BUCKLE (1718-84), perhaps the most celebrated member of the family, was Captain of Boscawen’s Flagship at the siege and capitulation of

Louisbourg in 1758. His log books, covering his remarkable career as the Captain of eight line-of-battle ships, are preserved at Chichester. He joined

the Navy in 1731, was appointed to his first command as Captain of H.M.S. Russell in 1745 and was successively Captain of the Assistance,

Culloden, Unicorn, Swiftsure, Invincible and Royal George. In 1758 he was appointed Flag-Captain to Admiral Sir Edward Boscawen in H.M.S.

Namur.

Early in his career as a Captain, Buckle distinguished himself in the Russell when, returning to England from the Mediterranean with a depleted ship's

company and reduced sail and gun power, he nonetheless pursued and captured a Spanish man-of war, the Glorioso, off Cape St. Vincent in 1747.

Subsequently he commanded ships in the protection of British interests in Africa. But it is for his Captaincy of the Namur, a vessel of 90 guns, that

he is most remembered, including his close involvement in the capture of Louisbourg from the French in 1758 during the Seven Years War.

The following are entries in Buckle's hand taken from the log book of H.M.S. Namur in 1758, all relating to the action at Louisbourg:

31st Jan (on taking up command of the Namur): "Finished turning the Royal George's people into the Namur & this ship's company into the

Royal George .... at 11 sent a boat with an officer to attend the execution of a man (who did belong formerly to this ship) that was hanged on

board of the Royal George for mutiny & desertion and read the Articles of War to the Ship's Company."

2nd June (on arrival off Louisbourg): "At noon made the signal for anchoring, 69 sails in sight. Ventilator working. Town of Louisbourg N.E.

and distance 2 leagues."

8th June (on the disembarkation of the troops): "At midnight hoisted all the boats out & at 1 a.m. sent them to assist the Disembarkation of the

Troops, at 4 saw the Boats rowing towards the Shore, half an hour after the Frigates began to fire on the enemy in order to cover the landing …

at 10 Adm. Charles Hardy in the Captain anchored here and saluted with 15 guns, we returned 13."

22 July (on the action in the harbour): "At 1/2 past 2 a.m. saw a great explosion in the Harbour which proved to be one of the Men-of-War, that

had taken fire from which two others catched & kept burning all Night.... N.B. The Names and Force of the Ships burnt are as follows:

Entreprenant 74, Celebre 64, & the Capricieux of 64 guns."

26th July (on the capture of Louisbourg): "6 a.m. our 1st Lieut returned and gave an account that in the night all the boats manned and armed to

the number of about 50 rowed into the Harbour. Capt. Laforey's Squad boarded the Prudent of 74 guns but she being aground, they burnt her.

Captain Balfour boarded the Bienfaisant of 64 guns and towed her into the N.E. Harbour. A.m. Dried sails, Punished Dominick Hays, John

Morgan, Phil Mafrey, Jonathan Bradley & William Ellis with a Dozen lashes for Drunkenness & Neglect of Duty. At 1/2 past 10 observed that

our Batteries and the Town ceased firing, the Admiral went ashore and found that Chev. de Drucour, the Governor of Louisbourg, had proposed

to Capitulate with Major General Amherst & Surrender up the Town."

Captain Mathew Buckle (after Reynolds)

(Buckle Family Collection)

Buckle's own description of the capture of the Prudent and Bienfaisant is exactly as depicted by Pingo on the reverse of the Louisbourg medal,

which was commissioned by Admiral Boscawen himself and was awarded in gold, silver and copper to both naval and military recipients with a

ribbon described as “half yellow, half blue”. Reference to the present gold medal is made in Rear Admiral Charles Mathew Buckle's "Memorials of

the Naval Members of the family of Buckle of Burgh, Co. Surrey" (1886, also part of the Buckle Papers in Chichester) in the following extract:

"Admiral Boscawen presented gold medals to all the Captains of the Ships concerned in the Capture of Louisbourg. Captain Buckle's gold medal

remains in the possession of his grandson Admiral Sir Claude Buckle K.C.B."

After Louisbourg, Captain Buckle commanded H.M.S. Namur during Admiral Boscawen's defeat of the French fleet off Lagos on 17th August 1759.

Subsequently, still in the Namur, he was part of Admiral Sir Edward Hawke's fleet which destroyed the French fleet in Quiberon Bay in November

of the same year. He remained in command of the Namur until 13th February 1762, employed in the blockade of the French coast. Mathew Buckle

was promoted to Rear-Admiral on 18th October 1770 and was second-in-command at Spithead, 1770-71. He was promoted to Vice-Admiral of the

Blue on 31 March 1775, subsequently commanding the fleet in the Downs, 1778-79. Finally, on 19th March 1779 he was appointed Admiral of the

Blue. In 1783, one year before his death, he was offered the command of the Fleet, but declined on the grounds of ill health.

Roll confirms, Lieutenant, H.M.S. Royal Sovereign (4/22).

MATHEW BUCKLE (1770-1855) was Admiral Buckle's elder and only surviving son. At the age of six, on 4 February 1777 he entered the Navy as

Captain's servant on board H.M.S. Despatch. He entered active service as an able-seaman in 1786 on board H.M.S. Salisbury engaged on the

Newfoundland station. On 21 January 1791 he received his first commission, as Lieutenant on H.M.S. Diana, and some two years later he

joined the Royal Sovereign, the flagship of Vice Admiral Thomas Graves, second-in-command of the Channel Fleet under Admiral Earl Howe.

He was present at Lord Howe's actions against the French on 29 May and 1 June 1794 (as confirmed by his NGS with appropriate clasp, here

offered) on which occasion, as related by O’Byrne: ‘... although deprived by rheumatism of the use of his limbs, he continued most efficiently to

discharge his duty at his quarters, the after-half of the

lower-deck, by causing himself to be carried about in the

arms of a seaman.’

His own first command was on board the H.M. Sloop Ferret

on 6 December 1796 and he was subsequently commander

of H.M. Storeship Camel. In the Buckle Papers an extract

exists of the account of one Robert Stocker, Master of the

James and Mary of Blythe, acknowledging the assistance

given by Buckle in saving the lives of his crew from

shipwreck: "Deserted and left to our fate by several Merchant

vessels that past us ..... we had given up all hope and were

endeavouring to reconcile ourselves to the fate that seemed to

await us. H.M. Storeship Camel hove in sight and with a

readiness highly honorable to the feelings of humanity of

Captain Buckle, immediately came down to us. .... Thus by

the humanity of Captain Buckle … I and eight more have

been preserved to our families and Country."

From 1804 to 1810 he was appointed Superintendent of the

Portsmouth division of the Sea Fencibles. At this time he

constantly applied for command of a ship but not until 16

August 1810 was he given one and between then and 1813

he was Captain of the Adamant and then the Latona on the

Leith station. However, due to failing eye sight and the fact

that he had not served sufficient sea time, he was passed up

for promotion and eventually, to his dismay, placed on the

retired list of Admirals. His sight continued to decline and

from 1833 he was totally blind. He became successively

Retired Rear-Admiral (1837), Rear-Admiral of the White

(1840), Rear-Admiral of the Red (1841), Vice-Admiral of

the Blue (1846), Vice-Admiral of the White (1847) and

Admiral (1852).

CLAUDE HENRY MASON BUCKLE (1803-94) was the second son of Admiral Mathew Buckle. He entered Portsmouth Naval College in 1817 and

first went to sea as a volunteer aboard H.M.S. Heron in 1819. During the Burmese War he served on H.M.S. Liffey at the capture of Rangoon in

1824 and in other naval encounters, hence the Ava clasp on his Army of India medal. Subsequently he served in various ships on the South

American and West Indian stations and was Flag-Lieutenant in the San Josef under Sir William Hargood.

In 1840-1 he studied the theory and construction of the marine steam engine at Robert Napier's Vulcan Foundry in Glasgow and was

subsequently given command of H.M.S. Growler, a new steam sloop. On the Growler he served on the African station in the suppression of the

slave trade. His account (to Commander William Jones, Senior Officer, H.M.S. Penelope) of an encounter between the Growler's pinnace, under

Lieutenant John Lodwick, and a Spanish slave ship off Shebar in 1845, in which two men were killed, includes the following commendation: "I

trust that the successful exertions of a handful of brave men in preventing several hundred slaves from being carried off will meet with your

approval and I earnestly hope will also induce you to recommend Lieut. Lodwick to the favourable notice and considerations of My Lord

Commissioners of the Admiralty".

The Buckle Papers include a letter from Admiral J. Bullen (dated 1st February 1850) to Buckle's father, commenting: "I beg that you will receive

my sincerest congratulations on the late noble brave and spirited conduct of your son against the Pirates on the Coast of Africa .....".

In 1852 he was appointed Captain of the paddle steamer Valorous and on the outbreak of war with Russia proceeded to the Baltic. He was

present at the first bombardment of Bomarsund in the Aland Islands when Valorous maintained fire for almost seven hours, taking part in the

second attack and eventual capitulation of the town. He subsequently distinguished himself in the Black Sea. O’Byrne records that he ‘chased

the Russian steamer "Vladimir" under the forts of Sebastopol, receiving their fire; assisted in defeating the Russian land attack on Eupatoria, and

in the night attacks on the Quarantine Fort, Sebastopol; "Valorous" bore the flag of Rear-Admiral Sir Houston Stewart at the attack and surrender

of Kinburn (Crimean and Turkish Medals, 4th class of the Medjidjie); C.B. and K.C.B.; was gazetted on three occasions’.

He was Captain Superintendent at Deptford Dockyard, 1857-63, subsequently promoted to Rear-Admiral on 14 November 1863 and placed on

the retirement list on 24 March 1866. He was appointed Vice-Admiral on the retired list on 1 April 1870 and Admiral on 22 January 1877.

London Gazette: 28 July 1858:

‘Employed on shore at capture of Taku Forts 20 May 1858, mouth of Pei Ho.’

CLAUDE EDWARD BUCKLE (1839-1930), nephew of Claude Henry Mason Buckle, started his naval career as a cadet in the Leander in the Black

Sea, later transferring to the Valorous where he served under his uncle, 1854-6. He was involved in two night attacks on the shores of

Sebastopol and the taking of Kertch and Kinburn. During the Second China War, 1857-60, he served on the Inflexible and was engaged in the

destruction of Chinese vessels at Escape Creek, Sawshu and Fatshan in 1857. He joined the Calcutta later that year and at Canton assisted in

dragging up two badly-needed field guns onto the walls of the city, a feat for which he was mentioned in despatches. Subsequently he took part

in the first and second attacks on Peiho forts, and on the latter occasion, whilst in charge of a gun and scaling ladders, was severely wounded in

two places and was again mentioned in despatches.

As a Lieutenant he served in the Hero when that ship, under Captain George Seymour C.B., conveyed H.R.H. the Prince of Wales to Canada in

1860. He subsequently served on the Narcissus on the Cape of Good Hope station. He was A.D.C. to Queen Victoria, 1889-91, Captain Senior

Officer at Gibraltar, 1889-92, Senior Officer on the coast of Ireland 1895-98 and promoted Admiral in 1903.

Besides receiving the bronze medal of the Royal Humane Society in 1879 for jumping overboard from the Assistance to save the life of one E.J.

Rougier, manager of an inn in Pembroke, who was in danger of drowning, O’Byrne records another act of personal bravery: "he performed a

very plucky act in trying to save the life of a labourer, named Kenny, at Haulbowline [Ireland]. The Admiral was inspecting some subterranean

water tanks, and Kenny was holding a candle to show the way, but owing to the intense darkness he struck his head against an iron beam and

stunned himself. The light went out and Kenny fell into the tank which was some ten feet deep and had five feet of water in it. The Admiral,

ignorant of the depth of the water in the tank, jumped in after Kenny and with the aid of the men on top succeeded in getting him out, after which

the Admiral was assisted out."
