Turned v soon after dropping and only got sight again of the target about 40 secs ater dropping.

Then could see no bursts. I was slightly behind formation but easily caught up since they were only doing about ninety. We crossed at 9000, saw one Cooper burnt hanging as taildownwards from the rim of Johnstone’s left wheel. Presumably one of the vanes of the fan caught behind a spoke in a circle left open for access to the tyre valve. W. Smith and I find lights and made signals to Johnstone for a long time. At length when near Clairmarais he appeared to understand and side slipped about, did two loops and one Immelmann but did not dislodge the bomb. He finally glided down onto a pond between Clairmarais forest and the railway (West End Forest). Just before the machine landed Johnstone jumped out, hit the water a few feet to one side of and about one to two seconds before the machine brought (also behind it in space), never came up again. The water was about 10 foot deep with a muddy bottom and thick weeds. His body was found two days later but it is uncertain whether he was stunned by the impact or stuck in the mud and weeds. The machine stood on its nose in the pond, leaving the pilot’s seat undamaged and almost out of the water: i.e. if Johnstone had kept his seat he would have almost certainly been alright. The bomb did not explode ...’, a total of approx. 150 pp. written in a neat hand and mostly to rectos only with some blanks, ownership name and details of Bourdillon at front of each volume with one containing a note to explain that this is a purely personal and unofficial diary and that if he is kills or missing asking for the diaries to be forwarded to his father F.

B. Bourdillon, having involved a simple but effect bomb sight using nails and wire was sent to the Central Flying School, Upavon, in December 1914. There he devised the C.F.S. bomb-sight which was in service for three years. The pilots used a stop watch to time the difference bewteen two sights taken on one object. He then obtained the correct angle for bomb dropping by setting removable forsight on a timing scale to the measured observation interval.

A popular figure in Aviation both with life-size and scale model aeroplanes; having a fascination for flying from childhood David Boddington joined the RAF as a pilot doing National Service in the early fifties, but followed an initial career as an architect until the mid-1960s, when his love of aero-modelling persuaded him to change tack. He started to produce model-kits, whilst at the same time managing to find time to manage the much-acclaimed “Barnstormer’s Flying Circus”, in which his brother Charles was a stunt-pilot. By the mid-1970s he was very much involved with producing flying scalemodels, as well as large-scale or full-size static display models for film and TV Companies, and was actively involved with flying sequences and background sets for BBC “Wings” and ITV “Flambards” series productions. During the 1980s and into retirement he was full-time model magazine editor, as well as author of books & articles, and continuing designs for model-makers, creating more than some 500 different models in a career spanning half a century.

He was credited with 15 victories during a service career from 1915-1918, when he was wounded in action and invalided out in September 1918. After the Armistice he purchased a war-surplus Halberstadt CL-IV which had been converted for his aerial photography business which he set up in 1919. He then acquired two further Halberstadt types one of which he converted for passenger-carrying under his “Luftverkehr Strahle” Air-Services operation. At some later stage the aircraft were partly dis-mantled and put into storage in a large barn and remained there long-forgotten during the next war, until they were finally unearthed again in the late 1970’s.

After some further years, taken to raise funds for purchase and restoration costs, two were subsequently restored and now reside in Aviation Museums in USA and Germany.

In 1911 the army expected that most aeroplanes would be ferried from place to place by road or rail; they were therefore especially interested in machines that could be disassembled and put back together quickly. Baron Edmond de Marcay and Moonen avoided the problem entirely by having the wings fold without unrigging them. A king post on each side of the fuselage slotted outwards towards the top, serving as anchor for the wing bracing and warping-wires, and as the vertical pivot around which the butt of the rear spar could swing. Each panel then swung around, back and down along the sides of the fuselage, which was triangular in section to accomodate them.

Featuring a novel, nearly exclusive, all-metal structure, only the wing, Empennange and the hull were covered with fabric, the three Maybach engines were mounted on a joint stand and drove pusher propellers which were accessible for maintenance during the flight. The radiators were installed without panelling against the engine nacelles. The Rs.1 was destroyed before its first flight during a storm at its FriedrichshafenSeemoos buoy on 21st December 1915.

Dennistoun Burney and the Bristol and Colonial Aeroplane Company during 1912-14. The aircraft, neither of which was successfuly flown, featured a novel hydroplane undercarriage known as ‘hydropeds’. Two hydropeds angled out from below the leading edge of the wing, each with a water propeller driven by a shaft contained within the leg, and a third hydroped supported the rear fuselage. Although Burney’s experiments were unsuccessful he was to exploit his experience with the X2 and X-3 in developing the paravane at HMS Vernon during 1915.

364* Mozhaiski monoplane, 1884, wingspan 32cm Aleksandr Fyodorovich Mozhaiski (1825-1890) was an Imperial Russian naval officer who spent a total of twenty-four years in the service of The Czar. He designed an extraordinary large steam-powered monoplane, having two engines of 20 h.p. and one of 10 h.p., three 4-bladed propellers, one mounted as a tractor driven by the smaller engine and two inset in slots in the surfaces of the wings as pusher propellers driven by the larger engines through chains and gears. The overall length of Mozhaiski’s machine was 75 feet 6 inches with a wingspan of 74 feet 9 inches. The first power-assisted take-off of a heavier-than-air craft carrying an operator is generally credited to Felix du Temple in 1874. In 1884, Mozhaiski’s machine apparently made the second such hop, covering between 65 and 100 feet after rolling down an incline under power at Krasnoye Selo, then just outside St. Petersburg, Russia. In later years the Soviet propaganda machine shamelessly proclaimed that Mozhaiski’s hop was the first true flight of a heavier-than-air machine.

This Flag having been previously sold at auction some years ago by H&H Auctions in Cheshire, the purchaser now deceased.

674 Peninsular War - Battle of Bussaco. Narrative of a Subaltern Officer, manuscript account of the Battle of Bussaco (27th September 1818), mid 19th century, approx. 100 pp. written in a single unidentified hand, occasional deletions and additions, several blank leaves at rear, the narrative proper beginning on page 5, ‘The Battle of Busaco was fought on the 27th September 1810, the Duke cared very much indeed that did not warn Isant, Wilson, Miller, and Silvesa to take possession of the pass of Casmunca on his left flank, had that been done, Massina could never have turned the Duke’s left wing as he did and compelled him to retreat, had the pass been reached in time, the Prince of Essling had only two movements, the first was to move across the Rioes Mundego, which was a most dangerous aim for the Enemy, as the British could cross before them, and his left would be dreadfully harrassed by the Malitia and Ordinance from the mountains, Massina’s second movement would have been to bring his whole force to bear upon the Allies at Busaco and I have no doubt he would have forced Wellington to retreat after a severe defeat, the Portuguese would have been disheartened, the chance would have been that the British would make for their Shipping. Massina ought to have driven the British to their line when he found Casemala open by turning their flank as he did, without a Battle ...’, with further evidence that this is a first-hand eye witness account, ‘On our march over Inartes Montes and old American warrior fell into a ditch up to his chin, when an Officer ran and gave his hand to old Hector of Troy who pulled him in as deep as himself, the only sympathy was a roar of laughter from the whole Regt in which our commanding officer joined, McFarlane the Quartermaster was the most stubborn mule of a man that ever was born, that night Mc.. passing Major Grant [? Colquhoun Grant, 1780-1829] ...’, and later, ‘The British entered Spain on 6th April. This after 32 days starvation and privations and combatant fighting that no British Army ever suffered so much. I never saw the men look so ill after that retreat, they never recovered it. On one occasion I think on the 14th we found a field of potatoes, being in the ground the whole year and our stomachs so weak and empty they had a very bad effect. That gallant solider Picton with the third division was four days without food in the Hills flanking. Our Brigade was two days until 4 o’clock next day without a morsel, but I believe the light division was better off being in advance, the nearer the Enemy the better. We had no tents, and very seldom under cover, the Enemy burnt everything. The French soliders are the dirtiest fellows that ever was in quarters, we had to be very careful in getting into their old cantonments having halted for a day near the Austrelta Mountains, accompanied by an other officer, we ascended one the mountains, then we got a sheep and some vegetables, we carried the sheep to our quarters, and a number got a share, we were very nearly murdered by the Portuguese on this expedition, life was thought so little off at this village I saw a poor old woman that was murdered by the French she was 70 years of age after using her, in their usual way, one of the monsters put his bayonet through her body, I saw her interred they don’t cofen them as we do, they carry them in an open cofen and throw them into their graves and a fellow pounds them with his feet, or a malet, and covers them with earth, this fellow made the old women’s ribs crack like an old bushel. I saw plenty children wandering in [?] glens and woods without father or mother and in a dying state, they all replies that their parents were murdered by the French ...’, contemp. qtr. roan over patterned boards, rubbed, 8vo, a slightly earlier unrelated manuscript bifolium loosely inserted The Battle of Bussaco (27 September 1810) resulted in the defeat of French forces by Lord Wellington’s Anglo-Portuguese Army, in Portugal during the Peninsular War. Having occupied the heights of the ten-mile long ridge of Bussaco with 25,000 British and the same number of Portuguese, Wellington was attacked five times successively by 65,000 French under Marshal Andre Massena. Massena was uncertain as to the disposition and strength of the opposing forces because Wellington deployed them on the reverse slope of the ridge, where they could neither be easily seen nor easily softened up with artillery. The actual assaults were delivered by the corps of Marshal Michel Ney and General of Division Jean Reynier, but after much fierce fighting they failed to dislodge the allied forces and were driven off after having lost 4,500 men against 1,250 Anglo-Portuguese casualties.

I could give you many were we face to face. On paper I must try to confine myself to such as ones least likely to over tax your patience. 1) Nothing could exceed the kindess of the inhabitants of Bladensburg to our wounded, ... in the same room with Colonel Thornton lay your gallant Commander Barney, both previously hurt. A friendship was once struck up between them which lasted through their lives. The Commander told Thornton the following story. “I commanded the battery of artillery and saw one of your men [?] pile up some stones, then lie down behind them and take aim. Oh I said to myself you are crack shot I suppose but I’ll baulk you and I did for I pointed one of our guns at him myself and when the smoke cleared away, his parapet was in ruins and himself nowhere. I hope he ran away” ...’, and later on entering Washington on horseback, ‘Two adventures befound me there. I was limping past a house in a street near the capital when a window was opened and a negro woman invited me to enter. The family had quitted the town and the servants offered me all manner of good things. I was amused and told them I wanted nothing except a clean shirt having only one which I had worn since the 19th ...’, and finally concerning a hurricane on the 25th, ‘which unroofed houses and upset our three pounders guns.

690* WWI - “Birmingham Pals”: 1/8th Battalion, The Royal Warwickshire Regiment. A good series of forty-two autograph letters and fifteen autograph postcards from Private Fred B. Key to his fiancee Miss Zen Hall, Clifton-on-Teme, Worcester, 7th November 1914 to 7th June 1916, nine of the letters and six postcards written whilst training, largely from Coggeshall, Essex, giving details of drill, bayonet, firing and trenching exercises, the remaining thirty-three letters and nine postcards written whilst on active service “Somewhere in France”, (3rd April 1915 to 7th June 1916), the majority in their original envelopes with Field Post Office and censor marks, in all 193 pages, 8vo and 4to, and fifteen autograph postcards, plus a number of Field Service postcards, two photographs and a pencil sketch of a young woman, presumably Zen, also her small notebook containing details of meetings with Fred, including an unexpected short leave at the end of December 1915 The 1/8th Battalion had Companies that were sponsored by the Dunlop Rubber Company, the Birmingham Corporation Gas Department, Ansels Brewery and other trades. Key was a Dunlop volunteer, enlisting on 4th September 1914. On 22nd March 1915 Key travelled with the Battalion by train to Southampton where they embarked for Le Havre.

At first Key's letters are relatively light-hearted, although with a regular sprinkling of the abbreviation DV (Deo Volente: God Willing). Throughout his letters one realises that he is well aware of his own mortality. 21st April 1915: '... at 3 o'clock the Germans started to shell us, and hit the trench that I was in about 15 times, so you bet that when they were doing that I began to fancy that I should never write it at all. However when they finished at 3.30 I started to write while there was a chance, when they started again so I had to chuck it, but it was all over at 4.10, no one was hurt but we were all more or less shaken, and one part of our trench blown in so we had to set to and build it up again; but the Germans could see us doing that so they opened fire on us, so I and another fellow, had 3 others loading for us while we blazed away at them like mad... The trenches around here are on ground that is full of dead, and when there is any digging on it stinks something dreadfully, and we have to boil all our water before we can drink it... you are not to worry about anything, it is sure to turn out well in the end and then D.V. we must have some good times together. Well, so long now; those sentiments in your letter are the same as mine. Yours ever as now, with heaps of love & kisses, Freddy'.

His letters paint a vivid picture of the horror of the trenches but are also affectionate and full of talk of the future, his aspirations for their life together after the war, though the later letters display a growing despondency, e.g. 6th February 1916: 'When next time you are awake in the small hours of the morning think of me running about in No Man's Land cursing my fate'.

The following extracts give a small flavour of the series as a whole: From his letters of 29th April 1915: 'The other day a German aeroplane flew over the trenches, hotly pursued by one of ours, and as he flew he dropped some tinsel which as it fell glittered in the sun, and gave the range to the German gunners who soon afterwards dropped several shells in that particular direction. At 4.30 last Sunday I was in a mild state of nervous expectation awaiting our usual Sunday shell fire and about 2 hours later, 3 came over and burst right by our trench, you can bet that as soon as I heard the gun fire I was under cover... '.

From his letter of 2nd June 1915: '... Oh! dash it, they have just given the order to fall in for Serg. Major's Drill, they will not let us settle down. It is beastly hot and dusty and I feel hot and sticky, I can't find a comfortable position and I am in a state that I don't know what to do with myself. I shall be glad when we get into the trenches again as then I shall be able to relieve the monotony by having a shot... I wonder what you are doing at this moment, 12.20 Monday morning.

I have propped your sweet photo up against a piece of wood opposite to me and it seems to be smiling, but still I expect that it is only fancy. Still wait until I do see you, I will love you. I'll squeeze you and kiss you until you cry stop, how will you like that eh! I will pick you up and carry you into the house and shall not let you down until you have paid toll, and a little will not satisfy me! You just wait and see D.V.'.

From his letter of 17th September 1915: '... I do feel dirty, I have not washed for 3 days nor shaved for two, so you can guess what I look like. When we are in the trenches we are not allowed to take anything off at all, it is terrible keeping our equipment, boots, socks, shirts and puttees on for perhaps 3 weeks at a time, it will be quite another week before we are allowed to take them off. I feel as if I could scratch, scratch, scratch all day long... I am off in my dugout, they have started shelling. I will continue this later. I am in the dug out now having a biscuit with some jam on it for lunch... this dugout I am in is full of rats, mice, snails and creepy crawlies, we sleep on wire netting beds, which are a foot too short and have to wear our overcoats over our heads... '.

From his letter of 20 January 1916: '... I am sure that if I do get out of this business safely, it will be mainly due to your and others applications to providence for my safety, 'cause although I do say my prayers as a rule regularly, I am sorry to say that it is only when I am near or in the trenches, 'cause spiritually and physically I am a coward, I shirk from bodily pain and many a time I have to clench myself to keep from running away into shelter...'.

Fred Key was killed on the first day of the Battle of the Somme, 1st July 1916 when the 1/8th Battalion of the Royal Warwickshire at 7.30 am, 600 in all ranks, went over the top only to be mown down by the enemy's fire from every direction. The Battalion was virtually wiped out and has the dubious honour of being 8th in the list of battalions that lost more than 500 men on that morning; the bodies of 170 men of the Battalion were never found.

Loosely inserted in his fiancee's notebook is a telegram, dated 7th July, from Fred's parents at Lichfield informing her that he had been wounded. She has written retrospectively 'July 1st 1916. My darling was mortally wounded by machine gun bullet in 3rd German Line & I didn't know until the 8th'; on the 10th she writes 'Letter came saying my darling killed... went to Lichfield'. To her entry for his last day of leave (December 1915) Zen wrote 'Said goodbye on step of train - nurses got in way'. She has retrospectively added 'And that is the last time I shall see him on this earth'. (a bundle) £700-1000

His last entry was written on the day he died, 2nd November 1914: ‘Men worked very well last night, and had a very peaceful night, too. This morning I had to sign up the small books of six men in the company who had been killed during the last three days; a very melancholy duty. I am quite sure that things have been very serious on our right, but I believe the line is alright now, and ought at any rate to be heavily reinforced by the French by now’. At about 3 pm that afternoon Graves-Sawle was killed in action near a village called Reutel, five miles east of Ypres. The two-page telegram sent on behalf of the King and Queen on 10 November 1914 is pasted in and included in the addenda. A typed note at the front of the volume notes that deciphering parts of the original was difficult due to the original manuscript diary being affected by rain. The whereabouts of the original is now known and this is a lively and well-presented diary of life at the Front during the first three months of the war.

An exceptional archive of approx. ninety-seven autograph letters home from Lieutenant Henry Curling, Royal Artillery, 1869/80, giving a detailed account of life in the Victorian British Army with notable and unique accounts of the Zululand invasion and Battle of Isandlwana, mostly addressed to Mama, sometimes Papa, and occasionally to his brother Willy, stitched roughly chronologically as three groups into contemporary home-made cloth/card folders, the first volume of thirty-six letters covering his journey with the 15th Brigade to Gibraltar, c. March 1869 to November 1870, five letters seemingly incomplete, a total of 164pp, the second group of thirty-two letters covering his journey to South Africa with N Battery of the 5th Brigade, the 9th Frontier War and preparations for the Anglo-Zulu War, January-December 1878, one letter incomplete, a total of 191pp, the final group of twenty-nine letters covering the Battle of Isandlwana and its aftermath, Court of Enquiry and repercussions, 18 January 1879 (Col. Glyn’s Column, Rorke’s Drift) to 25 January 1880 (written from Pinetown and expecting to set sail for India and the Afghan War on 4th February), , one letter incomplete, a total of 127pp., all letters written in a good clear hand with occasional cross-writing, occasional minor spotting, but ink and paper generally fresh and fine, in all 482pp, 8vo and small 8vo Henry Thomas Curling was born at Ramsgate on 27 June 1847 and died there on 1 January 1910. He was educated at Marlborough and the Royal Military Academy Woolwich, and was commissioned into the Royal Artillery as a Lieutenant on 15 July 1868. He served in Gibraltar with the 15th Brigade and later at Devonport with the battery that later became N/5 Battery. He went with it to South Africa in January 1878 and stayed with it until posted to India in February 1880.

His Army List entry reads: South African War 1878-79. Kaffir Campaign - Action at Burns Hill. Zulu Campaign - Battle of Isandlwana. Despatches, London Gazette 15 March 1879. Medal with clasp. Afghan War 1880 - medal.

The Battle of Isandlwana on 22 January 1879 was the first major encounter in the Anglo-Zulu War. Eleven days after the British commenced their invasion of Zululand in South Africa, a Zulu force of some 20,000 warriors attacked a portion of the British main column. The numerically superior Zulus ultimately overwhelmed the poorly led and badly deployed British, killing some 1,300 troops and leaving a mere sixty or so survivors. For the Zulus, who suffered around a thousand killed, it was a decisive victory over the first British attempt at an invasion of Zululand. The British Army had suffered its worst defeat against a technologically inferior indigenous force, and Isandlwana resulted in the British taking a much more aggressive approach in the Anglo-Zulu War with a heavily reinforced second invasion and the destruction of King Cetshwayo's hopes of a negotiated peace.

Curling was the only surviving officer from the front line at Isandlwana and his letters depict what he saw and his dramatic hair-raising escape on horseback.

Of the total of some 1,400 men lost that day a mere sixty or so survived. The Curling letters give the most descriptive account by an actual eyewitness to the British defeat that fateful day, and are believed to be the most important set of letters from an Isandlwana survivor to be offered up for auction.

The two quoted extracts below can only give a taste of the full range and content of the letters. For a fuller account of the letters with selected transcriptions and a background narrative see 'The Curling Letters of the Zulu War', edited by Adrian Greaves and Brian Best, first published Leo Cooper/Pen & Sword 2001. A paperback (2009) of the book is included with the lot, as are a pair of field glasses, (believed to be Curling's own), framed reproductions of photographs of Curling, as a young man at the time of the Zulu War and, later, as Major. Also included are copies of 'The Journal of the Anglo Zulu War Historical Society', June 1998 & December 1999 issues, containing the first notice of these letters in the public domain, when loaned to Adrian Greaves by the previous owner, Curling's great nephew Wing Commander Jack Karran OBE. In full, undated letter, c. 23 January 1879: ‘My Dear Mama, Just a line to say I am alive after a most wonderful escape. In the absence of the General our camp in Zulu-land was attacked by overwhelming numbers of Zulus. The Camp was taken and out of a force of 700 white men only about 30 escaped. All my men except me were killed and the gun was taken. Major Smith who was with me was killed. The whole Column has retreated into Natal again and we are expecting hourly to be attacked. Of course everything has been lost, not a tent or blanket left’.

Extract from one of Curling's accounts of Isandlwana, from a letter to his mother, Helpmakar, Natal, 2nd February 1879: ‘... On the morning of the fight the main body left at 3.30 in the morning a little before daylight leaving me with the guns and about 70 men. About 7.30 we were turned out as about 1000 Zulus were seen in some hills about 2 miles from the camp. We did not think anything of it and I was congratulating myself on having an independent command. I had out with my guns only 20 men the remainder 50 in number stayed in the camp. We remained formed up in front of the camp (it was about ½ mile long) until 11 o’clock when the enemy disappearing behind some hills on our left we returned to camp. We none of us had the least idea that the Zulus contemplated attacking the camp at having in the last war often seen equally large bodies of the enemy never drained they would come on. Besides we had about 600 troops (regulars), two guns, about 100 other white men and at least 1000 armed natives.

About 12 as the men were getting their dinner the alarm was again given and we turned out at once. Maj. Smith came back from the General’s force at this time and took command. This of course relieved me from all responsibility as to the movements of the guns. We being mounted moved off before the infantry and took up a position to the left front of the camp where we were able to throw shells into a huge mass of the enemy that remained almost stationary. The 24th Regt. came up and formed in skirmishing order on both our flanks. The Zulus soon split up into a large mass of skirmishers that extended as far round the camp as one could see.

One could form no idea of numbers but the hills were black with them. They advanced steadily in the face of the infantry and our guns but I believe the whole of the natives who defended the rear of the camp soon bolted and left only our side of the camp defended. Very soon bullets began to whistle about our heads and the men to fall.

The Zulus still continued to advance and we began to fire case but an order was given to retire after firing a round or two. At this time out of my small detachment one man had been killed shot through the head, another wounded shot through the side and another through the wrist. Maj. Smith was also shot through the arm but was able to do his duty. Of course no wounded man was attended to, there was no time or men to spare. When we got the order to retire we limbered up at once but were hardly in time as the Zulus were on us at once and one man was killed (stabbed) as he was mounting a seat on the gun carriage. Most of the gunners were on foot so there was not time to mount them on the guns.

We trotted off to the camp thinking to take up another position there but found it in possession of the enemy who were killing the men as they ran out of their tents. We went right through them and out the other side losing nearly all our gunners in doing so and one of the two Sergeants. The road to Rorke’s Drift that we hoped to retreat by was full of the enemy so no way being open we followed a crowd of natives and camp followers who were running down a ravine. The Zulus were all among them stabbing men as they ran.

The ravine got steeper and steeper and finally the guns stuck and could get no farther. In a moment the Zulus closed in and the drivers who now alone remained were pulled off their horses and killed. I did not see Maj. Smith at this moment but was with him a minute before.

The guns could not be spiked, there was no time to think of anything and we hoped to save the guns up to the last moment. As soon as the guns were taken I galloped off and made off with the crowd. How any of us escaped I don’t know. The Zulus were all among us and I saw men falling all round. We rode for about 5 miles hotly pursued by the Zulus when we came to a cliff overhanging the river. We had to climb down the face of this cliff and not more than half those who started from the top got to the bottom. Many fell right down, among others Major Smith, and the Zulus caught us up here and shot us as we climbed down. I got down safely and came to the river which was very deep and swift. Numbers were being swept away as they tried to cross and others shot from above. My horse fortunately swam straight across although I had three or four men hanging onto his tail, stirrup, leathers &c. After crossing the river we were in comparative safety though many were killed afterwards who were on foot and unable to keep up. It seems to me like a dream, I cannot realise it at all. The whole affair did not last one hour from beginning to end. Many got away from the camp but were killed in the retreat. No officers or men of the 24th Regt could escape: they were all on foot and on the other side of the camp. I saw two of them who were not with their men near the river but their bodies were found afterwards on our side of the river. Of the 50 men we left in camp 8 managed to escape on spare horses we had left in camp. One sergeant only of my detachment got away.

Altogether we lost 62 men and 24 horses, just half the battery. Those who have escaped have not a rag left as they came away in their shirt sleeves.

We always sleep at night in the fort or laager as it is called and in the open air. It is very unpleasant as it rains heavily every night and is very cold…’ (an archive) £7000-10000 140

GENERAL SIR JOHN HART DUNNE, K.C.B. (1835-1924)

726* Chinese Dragon Robe. A 19th-c. embroidered silk Dragon Robe, formerly in the possession of General Sir John Hart Dunne, blue silk, embroidered with metal threads and coloured silk threads in shades of red, blue, white, and yellow, depicting nine five-clawed dragons in gold thread (one concealed on the inner flap), cloud scrolls, a triple-peaked mountain, red bats holding swastikas, Li Shui (‘deep water’) wide border at hem, and other symbolic motifs representing the wearer’s place at the centre of the cosmos, some fraying and holes, length 141cm (55.5ins), together with associated accessories, incl. a Chinese mandarin hat with orange tassel and pigtail attached, a blue silk stiff collar with six (of 7) metal symbolic figures attached, a pair of gold embroidered green velvet slippers with red leather soles, a tasselled and embroidered multi-faceted silk collar, and a tasselled over-skirt composed of long strips of embroidered silk, plus eighteen fans, mostly folding, incl. several of coloured silk (one hand-painted with flowers and birds), a pink feather and lace fan, and a fan sewn with gold sequins, some with damage, plus a photograph of Dunne and his wife in Chinese dress Provenance: By direct descent from the Dunne family. In the period covered by his now rare book “From Calcutta to Pekin”, published in 1861 (see following lot) Dunne was serving in the 99th (Lanarkshire) Regiment in China. He describes the plundering of the Royal Palace at Peking by English and French troops, including his own exploits, ‘Every officer in our army who had managed to procure leave was doing business, and the more enterprising had brought carts with them.

Some confined their attention to jade-stone ornaments and vases; others were in the enamel bronze line. A few took to embroidered silk and fur coats; whilst a large proportion went in exclusively for rolls of silk... People don’t plunder palaces every day, so I will try to give a notion of the scene. Imagine Christie’s, Hunt and Roskell’s, Howell and James’s, half-a-dozen watch and clockmakers, two or three upholsterers, and that fine fan-shop in Regent Street, all being under the same roof; then imagine, if you can, what would be your sensations when told that, without breaking the eighth commandment, you might have your run of the place for just ten minutes, and no more. I think that even the ladies would be somewhat confused... As for myself, after having made a fair collection, I incautiously entrusted a Chinaman to carry the greater part of it, and the villain took advantage of my stopping for a moment to look at the throne, and disappeared; so, except my purchases from the French, I had nothing but two or three coats of the Sun’s brother... ‘. The following day Sir Hope Grant declared that everything taken from the Palace should be given up and sold by auction for the benefit of the army. The sale took place on October 11th and 12th [1860] and together with all the gold and silver, Dunne calculates that the proceeds amounted to about £30,000 sterling, two thirds of which went to the men and one third to the officers.

DUGDALE FAMILY MILITARY ARCHIVE The items offered here relate mostly to the Second Anglo-Boer War and World War I, and all come by family descent from the Dugdale Family in Gloucestershire. Colonel James Tertius Dugdale, (d. 1915), of Ivy Bank, Burnley, Lancashire and Sezincote, Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire, married Alice Brooks (1845-1922) in 1866. Alice was daughter of John Brooks, 1st Baron Cranshaw (1819-1864) and brother of John, of Portal, Tarporley, Cheshire. James and Alice had three sons and two daughters: Arthur, Alice Maud (b. 1870), James Gordon (1874-1955), Evelyn Mary (1876-1937) and Frederic Brooks (1877-1902). The younger son Frederic, 5th Royal Irish Lancers was awarded the Victoria Cross for gallantry during the second Anglo-Boer war (3 March 1901), but sadly died in a hunting accident in the Cotswolds three weeks after receiving his award in late 1902. His Victoria Cross is displayed at The Queen's Royal Lancers Regimental Museum, Thorseby Park, Nottinghamshire. Frederic's older brother, James Gordon Dugdale, 18th Hussars, married Ellen Mabel Turner (daughter of Major General Samuel Compton Turner and sister of Herbert Guy and Harold Lake Compton Turner) in 1903. Their daughter Pamela M. Dugdale OBE (1911-2001) served with the British Red Cross Society at the end of World War II and it is her letters which are of most recent vintage. While this line of the Dugdale family has its origins in Burnley, Lancashire, much of the correspondence home is to Gloucestershire addresses, the elder James Dugdale having purchased the Sezincote estate in 1885, retained by the family until 1944.

730* Boer War - Frederic Brooks Dugdale, VC. A group of fourteen autograph letters to his sister (Alice) Maud, c. March 2000 to December 2001, two letters undated including one onboard RMS Carisbrook Castle, the first dated letter Spearman's Camp, 2nd February [1900], ' ...I found a notebook for Gordon among my letters so redirected it Ladysmith and hope he may get it alright. Collis is leaving us and going to be brigade major to Barn Murdoch. He tried very hard to get me a job there as boot boy but failed as of course I know nothing. I hope he doesn't get potted as he is an excellent chap and should some day be Colonel as he is Senior Captain now.

We got up here this afternoon and hope to have a fight tomorrow but I'm afraid we shall go back to Frere to load. I am getting a little tired of that road owing to some letters I can't find out what regiment Clem is in. Please tell Artie if he is with you that I have given up writing to him as I expect him to be out here directly with his [?]yeomanry... The general opinion here is that directly Ladysmith is retrieved the regiments there will go on the line of communications which looks as if I should not get any more fighting that I get already. I have been very lucky in seeing fights as I had quite a close view of the Rifles storming Spion Kop [23-24 January 1900] and I see Buller calls it one of the finest sights he has ever seen. The side of a house is this compared to the slope of that hill. You can't realise this country without seeing it. The hill outside the Warren towards White's house is comparatively flat... ', the next letter after the relief of Ladysmith dated 13 March 1900, '...

This notebook is coming in most useful as I have clean run out of paper today and I only got it three days ago when the Ladysmith bags were opened. 7 tonnes of letters came up one day and 35 tonnes the next. Of course many of these were newspapers etc... nearly all the Ladysmith garrison has gone on leave for a month... I wonder what sort of a job the yeomanry will make in SA... I wish old Artie was coming out. They needn't have been frightened at home as the cavalry don't get much knocked about... ', many letters with family news and thanks for Maudie's news, talk of hunting, horse racing, etc. but with further details of patrols and so forth, one letter dated 16th September 1900 on 5th Royal Irish letterhead at Maritzburg, Natal, '... As there is very little chance of our getting home before Christmas... the present idea seems to be to sit on the railway line while the Boers sit on the Zoutpansberg and unless the folk at home grumble at keeping at the troops out here on the ground of expense, it looks as if we should all stop out here as there is three or four thousand miles of line to hold. I can imagine you saying when you get this why can't the fellows talk about something else beside that old war. I'm tired of it. We made a great reconnaissance the other day and fired off guns at imaginary Boers: net result owing to amateur bursting of shrapnel and bad shooting on the part of the gunners they burst a shell just over a 19th Hussar patrol and made them bolt. We still bivouack out in the open without tents or anything but I suppose they will send us up some tin huts if they are going to make a permanent place of this. I was disgusted when I saw old Roberts despatch about the Bergendal farm fight [21-27 August] on the way to Machadodorp. It talks as if it had been a small skirmish and finishes up by saying he saw several Boers killed by a lyddite shell. It is nothing more nor less than an infernal piece of jealousy because he was too late to ruin it himself and can't spare any praise for poor old Buller. To talk of one lyddite shell when the whole ground was torn up by them and then covered over by shrapnel cases is beneath contempt and I should have thought the old man would know better... ', a letter on the 8th October from Lydenburg, 'I wish to apologise to the "misguided idiot" mentioned in father's letter as he wasn't looking for gold, they tell me but for stone to build his house and I dare say it is very good for the job. You see so much tin here that you quite forget that civilised mortals make houses out of stone sometimes. I saw two villainous looking Boers just now advancing for my outposts so I made a great scheme of surrounding them and potting them without letting them have a show at all, same as they always do for us but I saw they were unarmed so I decided to catch them instead. When they came close I saw they were two men I know well in the Dublin Mounted Infantry looking for my outposts so as to know where to put them tomorrow. A good thing I didn't shoot them, as they are very decent chaps and might have considered it rather an insult... the chocolate you sent me was very good and is still [empty chocolate tin included with lot!]', a letter of 31st January 1901 from Norderfontein with good detail of action with the loss of four men and seven horses, 'It was one of the hottest things I've seen', in all a total of 54 pp., plus seven envelopes, all addressed to Miss Dugdale, Sezincot, Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire, 8vo/small 8vo (15)

731* Boer War - Siege of Ladysmith. A contemporary family fair copy of Frederic Brooks Dugdale's letter from the Siege to the Relief of Ladysmith, beginning Ladysmith camp, Saturday 11 November 1899, 'My dear mother, you will know by the papers that we are practically cut off from communications with the outside world. We have been besieged now since Tues Oct 31st though our communication with Maritzburg was not cut until Thurs. Since then Hooper – an officer of the 5th Lancers has been through with despatches, arriving here on Mon morning. It is very uninteresting. We go out on patrolling duties - see a few of the enemy and get shot at, sometimes from close ranges but generally from long ones. No one has been killed but we had one man wounded the other day. My letter of Oct 28 just caught the mail I think and I wrote on Nov 1st and I think that letter would just get through before the line was cut. I expect you see all sorts of reports in the papers about the siege of Ladysmith... Ladysmith surrounded by 25,000 Boers plucky garrison holds out!!! It seems jolly amazing for 10,000 British soldiers to be shut up by these Boers. They have put up some big siege guns and our guns can't reach them. We have got some big naval guns up but they don't seem to be up to the Boer form. The latter's guns are beautifully trained, they get the range to a nicety every time but the shells are rotten and they don't seem to do much harm. We have been camping out in Happy Valley for the last two nights.

The night before last (the Prince's birthday) was beautifully fine and warm and it was very jolly. The Regt. had a lot of rum all round to drink the Prince's health... ', 'We stayed the night of the 20 at the top end of H Valley just round a corner from where the shells were coming and the Boers nearly caught us that night with a shrapnel which burst just missing the Regt. and two burst over us the next day without doing any harm. The Boers have wrecked the Royal Hotel. It is now closed as they seem to make a waste of it... ', 'Last Fri while about 400 head of our cattle were out grazing two Kaffirs in charge must have gone to sleep and the cattle went a little bit further than they should have done and the Boers put a shell or two at the Kaffirs who bolted and then started pitching them behind the cattle which had the effect of driving into the Boer lines and we only managed to save about 70 so lost about 300 odd... The Boers can't apparently distinguish cattle from horses unless they intentionally shell the horses as they seem to have done yesterday and today', continuing in similar vein with much detail of day-to-day life during the siege, the occasional good dinner and concert, plus patrols and shellings, news of his brother being in the country, and then finally ending with the Relief of Ladysmith, 'This afternoon we heard a thunderous cheer and found out that the news was that Buller had defeated the Boers yesterday and they were in full retreat. Grand matter for cheering and there was a noise. But nothing to what there was when we heard that some cavalry heading the relief column was coming in, this was about 6 o/c. Then the cheers were deafening and they have arrived. I don't quite realise yet what it will be like being free again. Grand!!! Hurrah!!!!! A siege is not a pleasant thing and four months is a long time to be shut up anywhere, especially in a horrid place like Ladysmith. I am looking forward tremendously to seeing Frederic again and hearing all his news and in a v. short time now I ought to get all my mail letters, what a budget it will be!!! I wonder if Arthur is out with the I. yeomanry... ', a total of 88 pp. written on 'Portal, Tarporley' letterhead in a neat hand, 8vo, together with the orig. registered post envelope addressed to J.M. Brooks Esq., Portal, Tarporley, Cheshire, postmarks dated Moreton-in-Marsh, 14 April 1900, two small red wax seals to verso (AD and 'Not words but deeds') It seems likely that this fair copy was made by Frederic's mother Alice and sent to her brother John Brooks of Portal, i.e. Frederic's uncle. The whereabouts of any original is unknown making this contemporary family copy a valuable first-hand account of the Siege.

732* Boer War – Frederick Brooks Dugdale, VC. Brooks’ original manuscript diary extracts from 3rd-5th March [1901], giving his first-hand account of the actions which led to him being awarded the Victoria Cross, ‘Went out in the morning with fifty men under Adams, two companies of infantry and a couple of guns (a haul under Col. King) to fetch mealies [corn] from a farm a longish way out in some very difficult country where a small force had got into trouble the day before. I was sent up with about ten men to hold the front while the wagons collected staff from the mill. As soon as I began to return the Boers opened fire on us at about 100 yards. Out of the ten men I had with me, four were wounded. One twice before we could get to cover to shoot back. The remainder of the men regardless of anything galloped right away leaving me with two wounded men on the ground and one horse. I had remained behind firing my Mauser pistol to check the Boer fire if possible for the men to get out and when I retired and found these two chaps (one badly wounded in the ankle and the other in the shoulder and hand) left alone with only one horse under a most cursed fire I thought we were in for a very bad time. But luckily the man with the battered ankle was a real good plucked chap so I put him onto the khaki pony and sent him off. The other fellow was unable to climb up on to the horse after me so I had to lift him up and then climb up afterwards.

Rather a circus trick and not to be recommended except it is absolutely necessary. We still had about a mile and a half to go with a chance of being cut off any time. When we had gone about a mile we took a royal toss in a sprint the horse being unable to carry two of us on the present absence of food. The saddle slipped round so I sent the man on with the horse and took his carbine in case any horse came on but we were close to our own chaps by that time and in comparative safety …’, 4 pp. bifolium with extract start from previous sheet tipped to upper margin of first page, 8vo, together with a small monochrome watercolour head and shoulders portrait of Dugdale by an unidentified hand, pasted on card and crudely cut, 13.5 x 11.5 cm, plus a letter addressed to F.

Lot 732 733* Boer War - Siege of Ladysmith. Autograph letter signed from Guy Reynolds to Mrs [Ellen] Turner, Ladysmith, Christmas Eve 1899, wishing the Turner family a happy and prosperous new year before talking of the siege, 'We have been besieged here now for exactly eight weeks - eight years it seems like. I rejoined the Regt from home and arrived just in time - in fact the very morning of the battle of Eland's Laagte [26 October 1899] - where we got a charge into the Boers - a week after the garrison failed to drive back a very large force - probably 15 to 20,000 Boers and since then we have been in a state of siege. We have received no papers, or letters and of course no provisions or ammunition since then and we are now very short indeed - prices for food of any sort (except rations) are ruinous - potatoes about 1/- each, eggs 1/6 each - cigarettes sold for five pounds per hundred some time ago - and everything on that scale - nothing can be had to drink for love or money. However, we are fairly happy and fit - but it's a dreadful life. I was just going to appear before a medical board when the war broke out - and as I wouldn't miss it I didn't turn up for the Board - I should not have gone back to India. I fancy I shall leave the army when the war is over - my heart wouldn't stand the strain... ', sending regards to Miss Turner regiment has lost very few men but noting that 'I don't know exactly what the casualties in garrison are but they are pretty heavy - a great many have been killed in the last few days - we don't know what they will do with us after we are relieved - but I don't think we shall go on through Natal as the country's practically impassable for cavalry', asking for news of India, wishing the Colonel was here and saying that he is in command of the maxim gun and hoping to get some action with it, written in blue pencil, 4 pp., 8vo Major Philip Guy Reynolds (born 1871) was gazetted to 17th Lancers 1893 and transferred to 5th Dragoon Guards later that year. He served in the South African War, 1899-1902, being mentioned in despatches twice. Mrs Turner was the wife of Colonel Samuel Compton Turner, RE, mother of Herbert Guy Turner and Ellen Mabel (married James Gordon Dugdale, 1903).

A group of twenty-two autograph letters to his sister Maud, 31 December [1899] to 1st May 1902, letters written from Ladysmith, Meerzicht, Lydenburg, Middelburg, Belfast, Durban, Utrecht, Pretoria, Bethal, Val, etc., mostly in pen and some in pencil, mostly signed Jim, a total of 71 pp., 8vo/4to, together with fourteen orig. postally used envelopes, plus his certificate for NVO 4th class (14th July 1917), a certificate for an OBE for his sister Mrs Alice Maud Prichard (3rd June 1918), signed ‘Edward P.’ at foot, plus a third certificate being a warrant of appointment for his son Colonel Nigel Dugdale, CBE, to be appointed OBE (1st January 1948) James Gordon Dugdale (1874-1955) was gazetted 2nd Lieutenant, 18th Hussars, 1st December 1897. From a letter dated Ladysmith, 8th March 1900: ‘… No one seems to know what is now going to become of the cavalry – we have only got 150 horses in the regiment including 25 remounts that are on their way.

When they knew we should be short of horses, I don’t know why they didn’t get us some more’.

From an incomplete letter beginning on page 3, [Lydenburg, October 1900]: ‘About 4 o’clock I got up to have a cup of tea and were just sitting down to it when we saw a puff of smoke of a kind we knew too well, having seen a good many similar puffs from Bulwana during the Siege – and then we heard “it” coming – a scrinch shell went over our heads and passed over the hill to our right behind us – and we knew that the Boers had a long tom on a ridge about four and a half miles to the west of us. He didn’t rest long and bang came another, this time not far from our camp and we knew it was “us” that he was shooting at. Luckily our horses were out at water but the 5th Lancers were not so lucky and had to clear out double quick time but not before another shell pitching between their conductor and his house, a close shave. We cleared out of our camp with the men who were left, got in a deep water course close by. It was very well we did so as presently a shrapnel [?] our lines, which being empty, did no more damage than to rip up one of our saddles. The Boers also opened with a 4.7 howitzer, a very significant gun with splendid ammunition which can burst shrapnel at a very great range. It burst some too beautifully and we suffered – towards dusks the blowers stopped shelling – our 5 inch guns had fired a couple of rounds but the range was a bit too far I fancy.

The Boers had very cunningly waited until Buller’s force was nicely in camp before they opened. A lull in the shelling was not a long duration – as soon as it was dark and we were all back at our bivouac we started making the mens teas and our dinners but the Boers trained their howitzer gun on the fires and put in some extraordinary shooting, bursting shrapnel in the air with terrible and terrifying effect. I believe two officers in the Devons were killed and one shell caught 11 S.A.L.A.H. Durham I believe one was killed and two have since died. The fires were immediately put out and the shelling stopped – one or two came perilously near us and it was most alarming to hear the shell coming gradually nearer and then to see it burst, a great ball of fire above you lighting up the country around for some hundreds of yards and the shower of bullets striking the ground.

Early in the afternoon my chestnut pony had a near shave, a piece of shell just grazing his ribs, another half inch and it would have killed him. The horse next to him had his hind legs carried away, but all the same one laughs pretty considerably at amusing incidents – we found a lot of shrapnel bullets and scattered them pretty freely round the Colonel’s bed … the surprise of the Colonel’s servant … who arrived first on the scene was most amusing. The Colonel also believed it and was telling us all what a narrow shave he had had – he found out after dinner what we had done and we chaffed him a good bit …’.

It was nothing more or less than absolute murder, there were 250 Boers and after derailing the engine they fairly hailed bullets on it killing the engine driver, stoker, a kaffir and four of the train guards besides wounding nine other men, five very seriously. The accident took place just about three miles from here and over a rise so it was out of sight. The firing which we could hear distinctly lasted only a couple of minutes or so and then we say a dense smoke rise they having set the train on fire. This all happened about 3.30 pm. I then heard nothing as the telegraph wire was swinging until about 5.40 when a corporal and a wounded man came down, and told me that the four wounded chaps were in a truck still intact and could I send a party to bring them in, so I sent up about twenty natives and had the truck brought in here, it was something awful to hear the poor chap groaning as we lifted them up and made me feel awfully sick. I have had a room got ready and some hot Bovril for them and we bedded them down for the night as well as we could. There was a Captain Richards with them of the AFC who was untouched so I put him up for the night, poor chap he was very down in his luck in the whole matter, though it was absolutely no fault of his. Next morning the doctor arrived and attended and dressed all the wounded. They were all wounded in three or four places and some the most terrible wounds. I then had to go round with him to certify that the men were dead, and I never hope have to do such a thing again. Never in all my life have I seen faces with such terror and agony stamped on them they quite haunted me that day... ', the letters from 1903-13 written while stationed in India at Jubbulpore and some while at a depot in Chester, mostly signed 'H. Guy Turner', a total of 117 pp., 8vo/4to, some on 22 Cheshire Regiment letterhead, plus two letters from his mother and (?)brother, a signed regimental Christmas card for 1905, two snapshots and printed ephemera including a military commission appointing Turner 2nd Lieutenant (3rd May 1898), signed 'Victoria R I' at head, two further commissions for his father Samuel Compton Turner, the first as Lieutenant with temporary rank (5 April 1866) signed by Queen Victoria upper left, the second appointing him Lieutenant (8 October 1868), etc. (approx. 35)

A. Ward, Red Cross typed letters in English and German, etc., various sizes Major A. B. Stone’s statement on British Red Cross Society letterhead, 26th May 1915 explains: ‘As we were advancing on Saturday, 8th May, I stopped for a minute or two to bandage up two of our fellows who had been wounded. I then went on to rejoin my company and got into a trench where there were about twenty of my battalion and about twenty Cheshire men with Major Stone. I knew him before. The Germans got on our flank and enfiladed us. It was then I got wounded in the thigh. Knowing I was useless, I began to crawl away. As the Germans surrounded and got into the trenches they must have been all killed or taken prisoners. The last I heard was Major Stone saying “come boys let us make a fight of it”. This was on Zonnebeck and Menin Road’.

Another typed copy statement from 20th April 1915 gives Captain Schlaguit’s account: ‘On March 3rd, 1915, 10.30 pm, Captain Turner of the 2nd Cheshire Regiment who had command of a patrol, was shot by our soldiers. We have buried with all military honours. Please inform his Regiment. One of Captain Turner’s soldiers fell at the same time, Private Norman Wainwright, Company E, 2nd Battalion, 2nd Cheshire Regiment. His father will be very upset …’.

The letter from W. A. Ward, 8th May 1915 to Guy’s sister [Ellen Mabel Gordon, nee Turner, wife of James Gordon Dugdale]: ‘I hope you will excuse the liberty I am taking in writing to you, but I do so in fulfilment of a promise I made to your brother (Capt. Turner). I will explain. I am a Subaltern in his Coy. You no doubt have heard him speak of me … he asked me if I would write to you in the event of anything happening to him. I will try to explain the circumstances under which he became “missing”. I was in command of a forward trench about 90 yards from the German trenches, and Captain Turner being in command of the Coy was sent forward with two picked men at dusk (or dark) to examine a Sap (or working) about 12 or 15 yards in front of the German trench. The night was very dark when he started and he shook hands with me by wishing him luck and I myself and three good men were posted on the corner of the trench to observe as far as possible his passage. We would not see more than about 20 yards. The Captain and his men crawled forward on their stomachs. From this point no more was seen of the Captain or his party. The German trench did not bring any fire to bear on this place so it can safely be assumed that he got into the German trench in the dark and was taken prisoner …’. The C.W.G.C. records his death as between 2nd and 3rd March 1915 with his memorial at Ploegsteert. (approx. 30) £300-500

Conditions of Sale and Business 1. The Seller warrants to the Auctioneer and the buyer that he is the true owner or is properly authorised to sell the property by the true owner and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims.

2. (a) The highest bidder to be the buyer. If during the auction the Auctioneer considers that a dispute has arisen he has absolute authority to settle it or re-offer the lot. The Auctioneer may at his sole discretion determine the advance of bidding or refuse a bid, divide any lot, combine any two or more lots or withdraw any lot without prior notice. (b) Where goods are bought at auction by a buyer who has entered into an agreement with another or others that the other or others (or some of them) shall abstain from bidding for the goods and the buyer or other party or one of the other parties is a dealer (as defined in the Auction Biddings Agreement Act 1927) the buyer warrants that the goods are bought bona fide on joint account.

3. The buyer shall pay the price at which a lot is knocked down by the Auctioneer to the buyer (“the hammer price”) together with a premium of 19.5% of the hammer price. Where the lot is marked by an asterisk the premium will be subject to VAT at 23.40% which under the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme will form part of the buyer’s premium on our invoice and will not be separately identified (the premium added to the hammer price will hereafter collectively be referred to as “the total sum due”). By making any bid the buyer acknowledges that his attention has been drawn to the fact that on the sale of any lot the Auctioneer will receive from the seller commission at its usual rates in addition to the said premium of 19.5% and assents to the Auctioneer receiving the said commission.

4. (a) The buyer shall forthwith upon the purchase give in his name and permanent address and pay to the Auctioneer immediately after the conclusion of the auction the total sum due. (b) The buyer may be required to pay down during the course of the sale the whole or any part of the total sum due, and if he fails to do so after such request the lot or lots may at the Auctioneer's absolute discretion be put up again and resold immediately. (c) The buyer shall at his own expense take away any lot or lots purchased no later than five working days after the auction day. (d) The Auctioneer may at his own discretion agree credit terms with a buyer and extend the time limits for collection in special cases but otherwise payment shall be deemed to have been made only after the Auctioneer has received cash or a sterling banker’s draft or the buyer's cheque has been cleared.

5. (a) If the buyer fails to pay for or take away any lot or lots pursuant to clause 4 or breaches any other condition of that clause the Auctioneer as agent for the seller shall be entitled after consultation with the seller to exercise one or other of the following rights: (i) Rescind the sale of that or any other lots sold to the buyer who defaults and re-sell the lot or lots whereupon the defaulting buyer shall pay to the Auctioneer any shortfall between the proceeds of that sale after deduction of costs of re-sale and the total sum due. Any surplus shall belong to the seller. (ii) Proceed for damages for breach of contract. (b) Without prejudice to the Auctioneer's rights hereunder if any lots or lots are not collected within five days or such longer period as the Auctioneer may have agreed otherwise, the Auctioneer may charge the buyer a storage charge of £1.00 + VAT at the current rate per lot per day. (c) Ownership of the lot purchased shall not pass to the buyer until he has paid to the Auctioneer the total sum due.

6. (a) The seller shall be entitled to place a reserve on any lot and the Auctioneer shall have the right to bid on behalf of the seller for any lot on which a reserve has been placed. A seller may not bid on any lot on which a reserve has been placed. (b) Where any lot fails to sell, the Auctioneer shall notify the seller accordingly. The seller shall make arrangements either to re-offer the lot for sale or to collect the lot and may be asked to pay a commission not exceeding 50% of the selling commission and any special expenses incurred in cataloguing the lot. (c) If such arrangements are not made within seven days of the notification the Auctioneer is empowered to sell the lot by auction or by private treaty at not less than the reserve price and to receive from the seller the normal selling commission and special expenses.

7. Any representation or statement by the Auctioneer in any catalogue, brochure or advertisement of forthcoming sales as to authorship, attribution, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price is a statement of opinion only. Every person interested should exercise and rely on his own judgement as to such matters and neither the Auctioneer nor his servants or agents are responsible for the correctness of such opinions. No warranty whatsoever is given by the Auctioneer or the seller in respect of any lot and any express or implied warranties are hereby excluded.

8. (a) Notwithstanding any other terms of these conditions, if within fourteen days of the sale the Auctioneer has received from the buyer of any lot notice in writing that in his view the lot is a deliberate forgery and within fourteen days after such notification the buyer returns the same to the Auctioneer in the same condition as at the time of the sale and satisfies the Auctioneer that considered in the light of the entry in the catalogue the lot is a deliberate forgery then the sale of the lot will be rescinded and the purchase price of the same refunded. "A deliberate forgery" means a lot made with intention to deceive. (b) A buyer's claim under this condition shall be limited to any amount paid to the Auctioneer for the lot and for the purpose of this condition the buyer shall be the person to whom the original invoice was made out by the Auctioneer.

9. Lots may be removed during the sale after full settlement in accordance with 4(d) hereof.

10. All goods delivered to the Auctioneer's premises will be deemed to be delivered for sale by auction unless otherwise stated in writing and will be catalogued and sold at the Auctioneer's discretion and accepted by the Auctioneer subject to all these conditions. In the case of miscellaneous books, the Auctioneer reserves the right to extract and dispose of books that, in the opinion of the Auctioneer at his absolute discretion, have no saleable value and, therefore, might detract from the saleability of the rest of the lot and the Auctioneer shall incur no liability to the seller, in respect of the books disposed of. By delivering the goods to the Auctioneer for inclusion in his auction sales each seller acknowledges that he/she accepts and agrees to all the conditions.

11. (a) Unless otherwise instructed in writing all goods on the Auctioneer's premises and in their custody will be held insured against the risks of fire, burglary, water damage and accidental breakage or damage.

The value of the goods so covered will be the hammer price, or in the case of unsold lots the best bid, or in the case of loss or damage prior to the sale that which the specialised staff of the Auctioneer shall in their absolute discretion estimate to be the auction value of such goods. (b) The Auctioneer shall not be responsible for damage to or the loss, theft, or destruction of any goods not so insured because of the owner’s written instructions.

12. The Auctioneer shall remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller thirty days after the day of the auction provided that the Auctioneer has received the total sum due from the buyer. In all other cases the Auctioneer will remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller within seven days of the receipt by the Auctioneer of the total sum due. The Auctioneer will not be deemed to have received the total sum due until after any cheque delivered by the buyer has been cleared. In the event of the Auctioneer exercising his right to rescind the sale his obligation to the seller hereunder lapses.

13. In the case of the seller withdrawing instructions to the Auctioneer to sell any lot or lots, the Auctioneer may charge a fee of 12.5% of the Auctioneer's middle estimate of the auction price of the lot withdrawn together with Value Added Tax thereon and any expenses incurred in respect of the lot or lots.

14. The Auctioneer’s current standard notices and information (i.e. Collation and Amendments) will apply to any contract with the Auctioneer as if incorporated herein.

15. These conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English Law.
