Melita, and Mercian; died 1927.

The Volturno Disaster The S.S. Volturno, a British steamer, chartered by the Uranium Steamship Company, of Rotterdam, and bound for New York, was engulfed by fire in mid-Atlantic during a heavy gale on the night of the 9th-10th October, 1913. Of the 657 on board, of whom 561 were passengers, being for the most part Polish, Romanian, and Serbian emigrants, 521 were saved by a fleet of eleven steamers (including 39 by the Devonian) that sped to her aid following an SOS distress call. Heavy seas interfered with the launching of boats, but the difficulty was eventually overcome by the use of oil; those who perished were mostly lost in the boats. The hull of the Volturno was eventually found by a Dutch steamer and scuttled as a dangerous derelict. 103 passengers and 30 crew lost their lives in the disaster. Numerous awards were made for this famous rescue, including 78 Sea Gallantry Medals in Silver to crew members of the six British vessels, of which 18 were awarded to the Officers and Men of the Devonian. In addition, the Board of Trade also awarded 152 silver Sea Gallantry Medals (Foreign Services) to the crews serving on foreign vessels at the rescue. PROVENANCE:

Lovegreen, of the MV Adda of the Elder Dempster Line. Early on the 3rd January 1927, a passenger fell overboard whilst the ship was on passage to West African ports. At the time the vessel was about 200 miles out from Sierra Leone, and the waters were shark infested. The ship was slowed and turned about, lifebelts were thrown, and a lifeboat was lowered. As soon as the passenger was seen, Mr. Lovegreen dived in and swam to reach the man, and kept him supported as long as possible, until he himself was exhausted and in difficulties. At this point the Third Officer and the Quartermaster, both in the lifeboat, also dived in and retrieved both the body of the passenger and Mr. Lovegreen, who was now completely exhausted. The passenger, unfortunately, could not be revived.’

118 Lloyd’s Medal for Saving Life at Sea, small Bronze Medal (J.

The cargo consisted chiefly of grain, there also being 150 head of cattle. After about a week at sea the ship ran into foul weather, increasing later to a gale, and she began to make water; her steering-gear jammed and it became impossible to keep her head-on. The ship broached to and she was thrown on her beam ends, and the engine room flooded. The cattle were driven overboard to lighten the ship which continued to drift for two days and nights, until the morning of the 25th when she was sighted by the Johnston liner Vedamore. The captain of the Londonian, Captain E.B. Lee, asked to be taken in tow, but this the captain of the Vedamore, Captain Bartlett, declined to do, although he was prepared to take off the crew. About noon therefore Captain Lee decided to abandon his ship and the Vedamore made an attempt to get a boat alongside, but after three hours’ struggle the boat returned without having rescued a single man. Other efforts by rocket and line from windward of the derelict were equally unsuccessful and operations had to be suspended until daybreak when lines attached to life-buoys were floated down to the Londonian. After many hours one of these was picked up and a heavier line taken on board. A lifeboat was lashed to this and was hauled to and fro between the ships, with 22 men being saved on the first journey. At the second attempt the rope broke and the boat capsized. Another boat under Mr. Doran, the first officer, was lowered by the Vedamore but this was smashed, with the crew barely escaping with their lives. These efforts had lasted throughout the day and there was another pause during the hours of darkness. Next morning one of the Londonian’s boats was got over the side where it at once capsized, drowning all 17 of its occupants. A second boat got away with 23 men who were taken on board the Vedamore. All day attempts to effect further rescues continued but without success. At dawn on the morning of the 28th those on board the Vedamore saw no sign of the Londonian, so with the survivors on board the ship proceeded on her way to Baltimore. Meanwhile the derelict Londonian with Captain Lee and seven men still on board was still drifting helplessly with the gale. At midnight on the 28th one of their flares was seen by the German steamship Maria Rickmers, which sent a boat under Mr. Lenz the second officer. After a struggle of many hours a line was passed to the ship and the eight survivors were taken off.’ Seaman J. Collins served as a member of the crew of the Vedamore. A total of 16 Lloyd’s Medals for Saving Life at Sea were given for the rescue of the crew of the Londonian, 2 silver and 14 bronze.

119 119 Lloyd’s Medal for Meritorious Service, circular Silver Medal, shield at centre (Captain S.H. Marsh. of S.S. “Royal Sceptre”, 19.10.1916.), nearly extremely fine, in Pinches, London, case of issue £240-280 ‘The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have had under their consideration the Report of the encounter between the Royal Sceptre and an Enemy Submarine on the 19th October, 1916. Their Lordships consider that credit is due to the Master, Mr. Sydney H. Marsh, for the way in which he fought his ship, and beat off the submarine, notwithstanding the comparatively low speed of the Royal Sceptre, and request that an expression of the appreciation may be conveyed to him accordingly. By the protest of the Master of the Royal Sceptre, his vessel shipped at Port Said one three pounder semi-automatic Vicker’s gun and two Gunners. The Royal Sceptre sighted a hostile submarine at 7:10am on the 19th October, when off the Algerian Coast. It opened fire without any warning and the ship’s gun replied. The ship was manoeuvred to keep the submarine astern and firing continued for half an hour. One shell struck the vessel on the mainmast head. Four holes were made in the after main deck, several plates were indented, and other damage was caused. The submarine appeared to be overhauling the vessel, when a shell from the Royal Sceptre’s gun appeared to hit her, as she then swung broadside on and smoke was seen aft. A few more shots were exchanged, and the submarine disappeared suddenly at 7:40am, the opinion being that she sank by reason of the hit, and did not submerge voluntarily. The Royal Sceptre then proceeded, under the escort of the French patrol to Bougie (Algiers), where she arrived the same day at 7:25pm. She received permission to proceed on the 21st October, and on the 22nd October, at 4:30pm, a hostile submarine appeared on the starboard bow, flying the signal M.N. (Stop Instantly). The Royal Sceptre did not stop, and steered a zigzag course towards the shore, getting quite close to the Algerian coast. About 7:00pm, the submarine appeared to have been lost in the darkness, and at 11:15pm, the vessel resumed her proper course, there being then a strong wind and high sea with squally weather.

Lieutenant-Colonel E.A. Steel off tomorrow for a five days’ show without camping. I got to within 3m. of Aka this morning, which is our destination. We have only had one man killed so far and one Sergeant wounded. I am very fit; being Senior Subaltern I get 3 Sections and a Mission. I think I ought to get through, but of course in the Bush you never know who is going to get it next.’ (A Memoir Of Lt.-Col. Edward Anthony Steel, D.S.O., refers) Steel served with Trenchard again, this time in the expedition in the Bende-Onitsha hinterland, 1905-06, as his letter to his parents, dated 20.9.1905 states, ‘Trenchard and others arrived last boat. He is in great form, and at last something is being done. He has asked me to stay out here and come as his Staff Officer on the next operations, which begin in November. He will be in Supreme Command with four or five other columns under him, so instead of leaving here next month when my year’s up I am going to stay till April or May next...’ (ibid) A letter from Calabar, 2.11.1905, adds the following, ‘All our arrangements stand at present and we start off November 13 from here. We have just sent reinforcements round to the Niger as the Kwali country is “up,” and three Officers have just been badly wounded there. It was in Reuter’s telegram about ten days ago.’ Steel was Mentioned in Despatches for both expeditions (London Gazette 23.2.1906 and 18.9.1906), and Trenchard wrote the following (in 1919) about his service, ‘He was my Staff Officer and he was a great man and the most energetic I have ever seen, I think, and he was really the backbone of the expedition on which we were together.’ After nearly a year back in the UK, Steel returned to Lagos in February 1907, ‘I am very busy, and the climate is sweltering. I haven’t really slept since I arrived. You lie surrounded by mosquito nets in a sort of pool of perspiration, until from sheer weakness you slide into a state of lethargy and welcome the dawn to get up and have a bath.’ By July he had contracted Blackwater Fever, and was critical for several weeks.

D.S.O. London Gazette 23.6.1915 Edward Anthony Steel, Major, Royal Field Artillery Lieutenant-Colonel Edward Anthony Steel, D.S.O., (1880-1919), was born in Ajmere, India. He was the son of Colonel J.P. Steel, Royal Engineers, of 31 Nevern Square, London. E.A. Steel was educated at Dover College, where he was Captain of Hockey, and at RMA Woolwich. He was commissioned in the Royal Artillery, 6.1.1900. He advanced to Lieutenant the following year, and served with the Royal Horse Artillery in India, 1901-1904. Steel changed continent at the end of 1904, and was attached to the West African Frontier Force for service in Nigeria. He served as Major H.M. Trenchard’s (later 1st Viscount Trenchard) Staff Officer for the expedition through the unsettled portion of the Ibibio and Kwa country, 15.11.1904-27.2.1905, ‘I’ve been lucky enough to drop into this billet as Artillery Officer and Staff Officer to Major Trenchard Commanding No. 2 Column, and we leave the day after tomorrow and don’t get back till April...

Members of the English Commission, as part of the Anglo-Belgian Boundary Commission Steel returned to the UK for a period of convalescence. In March 1908 he read a paper before the Royal Geographical Society on ‘Exploration in Southern Nigeria.’ The latter was based upon his findings and exploration during the expeditions under Trenchard, he used his photographs as illustrations. The following month he was promoted Captain. Steel passed the Ordnance College examinations in 1909, and subsequently studied at the London School of Economics. Between 6.1.1912-4.8.1914 Steel was employed as a British Commissioner on the Rhodesian-Congo (Anglo-Belgian) Boundary Commission. The Chief British Commissioner was originally Major R.A. Gillam, but it would appear that Steel was very much the most active commissioner in the field, and when Gillam was forced to return home due to poor health Steel was appointed Chief British Commissioner (1913). He carried on with his work of delimiting the frontier between Northern Rhodesia and the Belgian Congo before returning to the UK in July 1914. Steel was about to embark on leave, when war broke out and he reported to the War Office. On the 20th August he was directed to travel to Southampton, and from there proceed as part of the reinforcements for the Expeditionary Force. He arrived in France at the end of August, and was posted to the 35th Battery, 37th Brigade, R.F.A., in September 1914. Steel served with the Battery as part of the 4th Division, and was in the thick of it, ‘26.10.1914. I have just returned from burying a bombardier of ours killed this morning during a little attention we received from a “Jack Johnson” Battery. Yesterday they put a Heavy Battery alongside us out of action, blowing up an ammunition waggon, and today they found us. The first shell, a 6 inch - pretty useful - cut the telephone wire to the Battery Commander observing in front, and so rendered us useless temporarily. Everybody crept into their holes alongside the guns, except a bombardier operator who went out to mend the wire and was unfortunately hit by a large fragment.’ Steel was promoted Major, 30.10.1914, as a consequence of ‘Whilst on this last trip north my old Colonel, who was Major at Ewshot in 1900 with me, selected me for a special job that wanted doing urgently. I had to work within 200 yards of the German trenches, and I was at it a week, being missed by yards only most of the day by shells, etc., and as a result have heard from the General R.A. that he sent up my name to the Divisional for “Distinguished service in the field.” ’ The 35th Battery took part in the battles of Neuve Chappelle (10th-13th March 1915) and Festubert (15th-25th May 1915). At the latter Steel, ‘had rather a hot time. I had a fine Observing Station in a ruined Brewery 100 yards behind our trenches, and was able to put my shells anywhere I liked, and

the Infantry ought to have got La Bassée, but! (the attack failed), and we have only just got a bit. I got hit by some pieces of shrapnel in the morning whilst mending a telephone wire, and in the evening another one burst at the feet of two of my best men I have always in front with me to go on dangerous errands, blew them to pieces, whilst my Subaltern got a couple of holes bored in him, and I got a piece or so in the face which has made me feel rather as if I had been in a prize fight. My Subaltern has been sent home, but I shall be all right, I hope, in a day or two. At Fromelles I got a bullet through my hat, and it just touched my head as it went through, so I can’t have anything much nearer.’ It was for the action at Festubert that Steel was awarded the Distinguished Service Order. Steel returned to the UK in October 1915. He was posted to train new Batteries at Tidworth Camp and Codford. He trained B/182 (Fulham) Brigade, R.F.A., and eventually joined them (after a period of illness) in France at the start of April 1916. He served with his Battery in positions at Loos the following month, ‘Since my last we have been through two gas attacks and many casualties have resulted. The “weeping” shells, too, with which the Battery was plastered, were a great trial. However, the men did splendidly, and the shooting was excellent. We had a direct hit in one of our gunpits, but only the gun was knocked out.... Last night we had a terrific bombardment all about nothing - and as usual our corner was plastered, and I can hardly open my eyes. It’s perfectly disgusting, these asphyxiating and weeping shells.’ In August 1916 Steel was hospitalised with rheumatic fever, his original foreign service continued to catch up with him. He returned for active duty as Battery Commander of B/177 Brigade at the start of September. The Battery served on the Somme, and it was not very long before Steel was hospitalised once again. On the 15th September there was a British offensive from their positions south of Ancre, ‘An inquiry as to how Major Steel was wounded elicited the fact that he had gone on with the Infantry in order to keep in touch with them and prevent any such contretemps as already referred to resulting from the ‘barrage’, and also to select, if possible, an observing station in an advanced post where he could render them assistance if required... The first report, about September 16, 1916, of Major Steel having been wounded was a postcard received from Sister W. Tice, i/c: ‘Major E.A. Steel has been wounded in the chest and shoulders and is extremely ill. The surgeons are doing all they can, but are very anxious about his condition in the next few days.’

ORDERS, DECORATIONS, CAMPAIGN MEDALS AND MILITARIA After time at No. 8 General Hospital, Rouen, Steel was returned to London for further treatment, ‘it soon became evident that... his wounds were serious. True, his arm might be saved, but never to be a sound arm, and the wound in his chest turned out to be a penetration of the lung by a splinter which caused an abscess, and for a long time defied treatment, until under an operation a splinter was extracted.’ Steel was moved to No. 129 Convalescent Hospital, Brighton, in March 1917. In June he was sufficiently recovered from his wounds in order to read another paper (this time on the Zambezi-Congo watershed) before the Royal Geographical Society. He underwent several more operations including one to try and recover the use of a nerve which prevented the use of the fingers on his wounded arm. Steel reported fit for light duty in April 1918. He was posted to the School of Instruction in Anti-Aircraft Gunnery on the Isle of Wight. In September he was finally passed fit for general service, and was posted to Mesopotamia. Upon arrival Steel was appointed Temporary Lieutenant-Colonel, Officer Commanding 55th Brigade, R.F.A., 13th Division. With the advent of the Armistice demobilisation was looming, and is ‘one of the causes why Major Steel went to Russia. His Brigade was to march down to Amara, being depleted, according to orders then existing, of all his best men, and he said by the time he arrived at Basra he would have only the skeleton of a Brigade left. He might, no doubt, have brought his Brigade home, retained his temporary rank of Lt.-Col., and sat down quietly until the demobilisation was complete, but this he could not do. When the call for volunteers for Russia came, though he had to give up his temporary rank, he volunteered. It would scarcely be fair to ascribe his decision to volunteer for service in Russia entirely to the foregoing cause; owing to his long disability, in consequence of his wounds, he had been passed over by his contemporaries who had received promotion and decorations, and undoubtedly he felt this, and was anxious to find an opportunity to recover his position and gain distinction by further service. Moreover, his chivalry was awakened by that call of Russia for help.’ In January 1919 Steel ‘received a wire after some days out that I was appointed to join a batch of officers proceeding to Vladivostok to train Czechs and Slovaks against the Bolsheviks, so, though I had some difficulty in passing my medical exam., I think it will suit me. I find now the heat affects me more than the cold.’ On the 16th April 1919 Steel arrived in Vladivostok. Twelve days later he moved to Novo Nikolaevsk, ‘I feel very lost out here. The Russians seem incapable of doing anything. Everything is, “Nevermind, it doesn’t matter.” We call it the “Land of Tomorrow.” They never do anything today as tomorrow they may not have to. It is impossible to describe the situation here. I am off to Barnaul [4.5.1919], which is 150 miles due south of Novo Nikolaevsk, which is situated where the Trans-Siberian Railway crosses the Ob River... Barnaul is to be the Artillery Training Centre of the 13th and 14th Russian Divisions which I am going to start off. At present they only exist on paper, I believe! So they will want a lot of gingering up. They think they are going to train them in two months with our guns which are now arriving only so I am sorry for the Infantry... If they mean business here, I shall see it through to the end unless the War Office sends for me to finish the Boundary Commission.’ On the 15th June, ‘orders are awaiting me [Steel] here to proceed to take over a new command at Yekaterinburg in the Ural Mountains on the Bolshevik front, where I am going to form a sort of Anglo-Russian Brigade of Artillery - 2 batt. 18pounders and 2 batt. 4.5 howitzers... These Russians are quite incapable of making any effort to regain their country, and I believe would do nothing if it was not for us... Every week there is a station destroyed along the line or some damage done, and if it were not for the Czechs, we should be in a bad way out here... And really one never knows when the whole show is going bust, and I’m sure the British

Officers at Barnaul, 1919, Steel seated centre Government will not lend us much longer to the Russians unless they do something, and half the summer has gone. It is beginning to get hot and dusty; spring has come and gone, and my lung will not improve swallowing mouthfuls of dust, so the move is lucky for me besides being a command after my own heart.’ Steel arrived in Yekaterinburg on the 6th July 1919. A day later orders were received to evacuate in the face of the advancing Bolsheviks, ‘This state of affairs is rotten. Everybody is very disappointed at having to retire, but British officers are not allowed to go into action. The departure of the Hants Regiment from here has been the signal for a general exodus, and a stream of carts pours down to the station all day and night... Only half a dozen of us are here. I am senior, and there are others doing liaison at the Russian School. I am awaiting my trains with Artillery stores that left Omsk before they could be stopped, and of course to be in here at the death.’ Steel was caught up in the increasing chaos of the following weeks, and on the 2nd August wrote, ‘the whole Siberian army has disappeared for the time being. On arrival at Omsk I was just going off to Kurgan and Chelyabinsk when news came that the latter place had also been evacuated. It is going to be difficult to get out of this country for everyone, and things are in a critical state... I am taking my Brigade some miles down the Irtish, fifty miles north of Omsk, so as to intercept any Bolshevik attack on Omsk by Reds from Tyumen, which they will enter in a few days. Some big decisions will have to be made now, one way or another. I will be glad to get out of this town, as the dust everywhere seems to get down into my lung. It will take me till the end of September to train this lot, so I cannot be home till Xmas, but may have to see the winter through.’ On the 24th August 1919, Steel wrote to his parents with ever worsening news, and his health beginning to fail him a matter of weeks later, ‘I am afraid I have not got good news for you (my hand hurts too much to work a pen). As you will have realised, the Russian Army has become a demoralised mass and nobody knows where it is exactly. It is no use hiding things. They have retreated before the Bolshevik Army from Perm to nearly Petropavlovsk, 250 versts west of Omsk, for no reason at all. The Bolsheviki are advancing just in small handfuls... and of course if they take Omsk the whole country from Irkutsk westwards will rise in revolution and we shall have some difficulty in getting out at all. There is a small revolution going on at Barnaul and Bisk, and some friends of mine there are wiring for help. Most that can have cleared out, some into Mongolia and others towards Vladivostok, leaving all behind. With winter coming, now beginning, and the whole country fleeing before the Reds, I can only leave to your imagination the prospects if Omsk, the seat of the government, falls. No one is to be trusted. All the English soldiers have gone and half the Mission. Everything has been thrown into the battle that is to be fought in the next few

April 21, 2016 - LONDON his self-sacrificing devotion to duty. The Russian officer is a pleasant companion if not asked to work, but sometimes difficult if pushed. Your son from the first won their respect, and, I am confident, towards the end, their affection. He got a feverish cold early in the month... I rode out to see him the next day; his cough was troubling him much. He grew gradually weaker, and though he had every attention from the personnel of the Hospital he died at 5am on Friday 17th. The doctor ascribes the fatal result of the illness to his having been shot through the lung. He was with him at the end, and told me he passed away without suffering at the last. Sunday, the 19th, the day of the funeral, was a wonderfully bright and warm day. The coffin, covered with the Union Jack, was brought from the Hospital on a gun carriage to an open space opposite the Cathedral in the centre of town. There the procession was formed. Representatives from every unit in the Garrison took part - Admiral Koltchak’s Personal Escort, the 43rd Siberian Infantry Regiment, a squadron of Siberian Cossacks, a complete Jaeger Battalion, and immediately in front of the coffin the four batteries. The pallbearers were three British Artillery officers with reversed swords on the right - Captains Faber and Hodges and Major Cameron - and three Russian officers on the left with drawn swords... The mourners included all officers of the British Military Mission in Omsk, and practically everyone of any importance in the official world, including Commander-inChief, General Dietrikhs, with many of his staff, a General representing the Supreme Ruler, the President of the Council of Ministers, and General Janin, Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces in Western Siberia. The coffin was covered with wreaths, including one from the Mission, from Admiral Koltchak, General Dietrikhs, and all the Military Missions in Siberia. Just as the cortège was about to move off, a little girl of twelve brought a wreath and placed it on the coffin. We learned afterwards that she was a refugee whose family your son had helped. We walked the two miles to the cemetery slowly through crowds that uncovered as the coffin passed. At the entrance to the cemetery the troops drew up and presented arms as the gun-carriage halted and the coffin was carried to the grave by the pall-bearers. The Service was read by the British Consul, Mr. Hodgson, the volleys fired, and the Last Post sounded. Your son’s body lies in a small railed-off space with the graves of two British soldiers on either side. We are arranging about a monument, and if possible would like to get a plain white marble cross.’ Knox also enclosed, with his letter, letters of condolence and praise for Steel from General Dietrikhs, the Officers of the Model Jaeger Brigade and a translation of the Notice placed in the Russian Press.

Steel’s coffin in procession outside Omsk Cathedral days. If successful, there is no reason why the Russian Army should not return to Perm as quickly as it has retreated. That is the way with these semi-civilised people. But if it fails and the army come flying back into Omsk then it will be a case of Sauve qui peut. If the railway is blown up behind us we shall have to fight it out. Anyway I and four of my officers are training this Brigade of Russian Artillery... but of course they can’t be ready for four weeks... My Brigade will retire and continue its training, and we have volunteered to stay until they succeed... Don’t be alarmed, it adds to the fun to know the Bolshevik Commander has put a price of 25,000 roubles on any British officer’s head.’ On the 14th October Colonel J.P. Steel received a telegram from the American Red Cross Hospital at Omsk informing him that his son had taken seriously ill with influenza. Ten days later his death and burial was announced in The Times. General Alfred Knox wrote to Steel’s mother, 24.10.1919, ‘I wish to express to you my deep sympathy, and the sympathy of every member of my Mission, in the terrible loss you and your husband have sustained on the death of your son, Colonel Edward A. Steel... I first met him on visiting Barnaul on June 12. He had a very uphill task in trying to get the Russian officers to work up to British Artillery standards, but he never lost heart. In July I transferred him to Omsk to take charge of the formation of two batteries of British 18 pounders and 2 batteries of British 4.5 howitzers that were to be raised here as part of the “Model Jaeger Brigade,” the nearest approach to regular troops that the Omsk Government possesses...The personnel of the batteries was Russian, but your son had six British Artillery officers and a number of British sergeants to help him. He gave himself heart and soul to the work, and any efficiency that these four batteries have attained is due to

147 Deputy Inspector-General of Police Oscar Lawrence Burrell, O.B.E. (1908-1996), one of seven children, was educated at Dulwich College, and entered the Indian Police in 1927. He served with them both pre- and post-independence; ‘when the British transferred power to India, they left behind among other things, two important legacies - an independent judiciary system and an organised police force. Of the latter, Madras State has the unique honour of celebrating its centenary this week. Many are the distinguished Englishmen who have contributed to the organisation and development of the Madras State Police Force, which occupies in the country today a pre-eminent position. Serving almost as a link with those eminent men of the past is Mr Oscar Lawrence Burrell, Deputy Inspector-General of Police. Burrell is a byword among Madras Policemen for efficiency and discipline. He is the only Englishman among Police officers of the I.P.S. cadre, now serving in India. While many chose to retire after 1947, Burrell decided to stay on because of his love for his work, wherever it might be. Rightly, therefore, he has, today, the pride of place of being the only Englishman, among Police Officers, who has been awarded the Police and Fire Services Medal. When Mr Bishnuram Medhi, Governor of Madras, on behalf of the President of India, on Sept. 5 at a ceremonial parade, pins this coveted medal to his tunic, history will be made in the annals of Indo-British cooperation and goodwill, forging yet another link in the chain that binds these two countries.’ (Newspaper cutting included in lot refers) Burrell retired in 1959, and was employed as the Secretary of the Madras Club; during H.M. The Queen’s visit to India in 1961, H.R.H. Prince Philip remarked to Burrell, ‘If you have been here so long, my word you must really like it.’ Burrell returned to the UK, and in later life lived in Horam, East Sussex.

London Gazette 13.11.1964 2nd Lieutenant Michael John Peele (472597), 4th (Leicestershire) Battalion, The Royal Anglian Regiment [sic] ‘On the 23rd January 1964, 2nd Lieutenant Peele was the commander of a patrol of 20 men flown into the jungle, in Sabah, to follow up a suspected band of 80 to 100 armed intruders. Early next morning he found the tracks of a large party and followed them up rigorously, even abandoning packs to enable his men to move faster. After five hours he sighted some terrorists in two shelters which were the beginning of an enemy camp. Although he believed himself to be outnumbered he at once planned a surprise attack but one of the enemy stumbled on to his assault group. Realising that surprise was lost, 2nd Lieutenant Peele shot this man and ordered the assault group to charge through the camp firing from the hip. In the face of fire from a light machine gun the assault group fought through the camp which proved to be about 250 yards long and to have contained some 60 armed men. The enemy fled into the jungle leaving behind 6 dead, a quantity of weapons, valuable documents and the majority of their equipment and ammunition. The important success achieved by 2nd Lieutenant Peele and his patrol was largely due to his courageous and aggressive leadership.’ Captain Michael John Peele, M.C. (1942-1983), was born in Leicester and educated at Wyggeston Grammar School, Leicester and Sandhurst. He was commissioned Second Lieutenant, Royal Leicestershire Regiment, 21.12.1962. Peele served with the 1st Battalion in Hong Kong, and as Patrol Commander in Borneo. Marching with The Tigers gives the following information on the action for which Peele was awarded the MC: ‘Early on 23rd January [1964] a Border Scout patrol returned with stories of an enemy camp of some 80-100 near Long Miau, a few miles northeast of Long Pa Sia [in Sabah formerly North Borneo]. In what was called Operation Arrant, 2nd Lieutenant M.J. (Mike) Peele was flown into Long Pa Sia from Long Semado with ten men of his own 6 Platoon of B Company. They were joined by a further eight men from 9 Platoon of C Company and two Border Scout trackers, and the patrol was ordered to find the enemy tracks, follow them up with all speed, and attack. Leaving that

Captain M.J. Peele evening, they basha’d up near Long Miau village, the inhabitants clearly knowing something was afoot as the women and children had left. Setting out at first light 24th January, they reached the empty enemy camp at 0900 hours and found tracks leading east. At full speed in pursuit and later abandoning their packs in order to be able to move faster, they found another camp at 1100 hours that they estimated to have held about eighty, with further tracks leading from it. The patrol pressed on and at about 1300 hours heard three shots. A little further on, it sighted two bashas which appeared to be the start of an enemy camp spread along the side of a stream and which may have contained eighty men. Peele planned to attack, and sent a strong cut-off party under Corporal A. Walton round to the rear of the camp before launching his assault. Detected by an unarmed enemy soldier but with still an element of surprise, Peele’s assault group had to attack earlier than he had intended. Charging some 200 yards through the camp, it killed seven of the enemy, the remainder - probably about forty - fleeing into the jungle, having been caught completely unawares whilst preparing camp and the midday meal. Some forty men’s worth of personal equipment, small arms, ammunition, and documents were captured. Peele’s patrol then rendered all the weapons unserviceable and hid the ammunition. As it had unfortunately been out of communication since leaving Long Pa Sia, it set out to return to base, spending a further night in the jungle en route before reaching Long Pa Sia on the morning of 25th January. Later that day Lieutenant David Michael’s C Company patrol engaged three enemy near Long Miau.

148 On 26th January Peele led his patrol back to the enemy camp where with explosives it blew down trees to create an HLS, via which a helicopter lifted out the half-ton weight of captured weapons and ammunition. These were subsequently conveyed to Brunei Town where on 30th January the Sultan inspected the haul. Meanwhile an SAS patrol following up from the 24th January battle, found tracks of about twenty others, probably the balance of the sixty listed on the captured nominal roll, and made fleeting contacts. For this action Peele was awarded the MC, which was the last gallantry medal to be won by a man serving in The Royal Leicestershire Regiment.... The other members of his patrol were later awarded a Regimental lanyard as a mark of distinction for their contribution.’ Confusingly, the London Gazette dated 13.11.1964 (published after the formation of The Royal Anglian Regiment in September that year) describes Peele’s unit as 4th (Leicestershire) Battalion The Royal Anglian Regiment, which of course did not exist in January 1964. The details of the camp attack were later used as a basis for an Army Kinema Corporation training film on jungle warfare. Peele subsequently served in the 4th Battalion The Royal Anglian Regiment in Aden, Malta and as a Recce Platoon Commander in Libya. He was seconded for service in the Sultan of Oman’s Armed Forces, and was attached to the Muscat Regiment, January 1967-August 1968. Peele returned to his parent regiment as a Company 2IC in Bahrain, before transferring to the 3rd Battalion in 1970. He retired in May 1973, before serving as a contract officer in the SOAF. In later life he was employed by the postal service, and died in Eastbourne.

When under fire, he has remained cool and cheerful and has delighted in taking up position in the astro dome whenever he could obtain permission and reporting the position of flak bursts and searchlights, which has proved of inestimable value to his captain on many occasions. Sergeant Albiston, although one of the youngest members of his squadron, has set a very high example of enthusiasm, fearlessness and reliability and his fine record fully merits the award of the Distinguished Flying Medal for which I strongly recommend him.’ Remarks by Station Commander: ‘A young Wireless Operator who, by his cheerfulness and coolness in action, has set an excellent example at all times. After a slow start, he quickly proved himself one of the leading Wireless Operators in the squadron.’

Sergeant S. Albiston 1059463 Sergeant Samuel Albiston, D.F.M. served with the Royal Air Force during the Second War; posted as Wireless Operator for operational service to 103 Squadron (Wellingtons), Elsham Wolds, Lincolnshire, July 1941; he flew in at least 35 operational sorties with the squadron, including: Hamburg (2); Essen (7); Duisberg; Le Havre; Mannheim; Ostend; Munster; Brest (2); Paris; Cologne (3); St. Nazaire; Poissy; Dortmund; Rostock; Stuttgart (2); Warnemunde; Gennevilliers; Emden (2) and Bremen (2).

Director-General of the Ordnance Medical Department. - In our last Number we announced the death of this distinguished member of our Profession. Sir John Webb’s services are comprehended in the following summary:- On the Continent under the Duke of York in 1794; present at the action of Lannoi; at the siege of Morne Fortuné; capture of St. Lucia; the expulsion of the Caribs from St. Vincent; capture of Trinidad; the descent of the Puerto Rico in 1797; the reduction of the Helder; capture of the Texel fleet in 1799; on the coast of Spain in 1800; the Egyptian Campaign in 1801, including the action of the Landing, and those of March; taking of Grand Cairo; the siege of Copenhagen; capture of the Danish fleet in 1807, and, finally, the expedition to the Scheldt in 1809. In all, Sir John was on full pay for fifty-four years. On the occasion of the creation of Fellows of the Royal College of Surgeons, Sir John was placed in that rank. He also possessed the degree of M.D. [and F.R.C.S. in 1843] The honour of knighthood was conferred for general services [1821 and K.C.H. in 1832], but more especially in consideration of his bravery as a volunteer in charge of the British troops off Alexandria, who were suffering from the plague, the troops being re-landed. This occurrence gave Sir John the opportunity of collecting A Narrative of Facts, &c., on the Plague among the British Troops employed in the Conquest of Egypt, which he published, and which, it is believed, is the only work that issued from his pen. Sir John married late in life, but has left a widow and children. All who knew the late Director-General could not fail to remark the simple dignity of his character, his unflinching integrity in all the duties of life, and above all, his lover of good works.’ Sir John Webb retired on Full Pay in April 1850 (C.B.); two years later he died at Chatham Lodge, Woolwich.

168 The Outstanding Peninsula and Waterloo Pair to Lieutenant W. Chapman, 95th Foot, Late Captain, 1st Cacadores, Portuguese Service. Wounded at Redinha, 12.3.1811, and at Quatre Bras, 16.6.1815, He Recovered in Time to Take Part in the Battle of Waterloo, 18.6.1815: ‘It was Indeed a Glorious Day for England, our Duke, and We Humble Instruments. I Would Not Have Missed Being in the Battle for Thousands’ Military General Service 1793-1814, one clasp, Busaco (W. Chapman, Lieut. 95th. Foot.); Waterloo 1815 (Lieut. William Chapman, Rifle Brigade, 1st. Batt.), with original steel clip and split ring suspension, minor edge nicks, good very fine (2) £8,000-12,000 Lieutenant William Chapman was born in 1775 and was appointed an Ensign in the Leicester Militia in March 1806, being promoted Lieutenant in April 1807. Volunteering along with 125 men from the Leicester Militia, he was Commissioned Second Lieutenant, 95th Foot (Rifle Brigade) in April 1809: ‘We reached Hastings the same night where we found that the volunteering of the Leicester Militia (who were quartered there) had commenced, and that one hundred and twenty-five men and two officers had given their names to the 7th Fusiliers, and these Adams and I determined to make change their minds in our favour if we could. The appearance of our Rifle uniform, and a little of Sergeant Adams’ blarney, so took the fancy of the volunteers, that we got everyone of them for the Rifle Corps, and both officers into the bargain. The names of these two officers were Chapman and Freere.’ (Recollections of Rifleman Harris refers). Chapman was promoted Lieutenant in March 1810, he fought with the 95th Foot at the Battle of Busaco, 27.9.1810, before being appointed to the Portuguese Service, as a Captain in the 1st Cacadores, in February 1811. Wounded during the action with the French at Redinha, 12.3.1811, he left the Portuguese Service in February 1812 and returned to his old unit. Chapman served during the Waterloo Campaign with the 1st Battalion, as part of Captain W. Johnston’s No.5 Companya letter written to his mother shortly before the Battle states: ‘Marshal Ney is at a little distance, twelve miles, and lots of troops following him. And my Lord the Duke of Wellington is at Brussels, leaving garrisons in the strong places. It is a rich, beautiful country, so that we shall not suffer as we did in Portugal and Spain. The poor old King of France passed through here a few days since; when the troops hurrahed he was much affected, and said it was the second time he sought an asylum amongst us. Several of his followers have since passed. Although all the inhabitants are in favour of the old King, yet the soldiers are for Boney, so that war is, I think, certain. The English papers seem to believe that things may be settled; I think it impossible without beating him. I have

168

much to do here, but will write you as often as I well can, but should you not hear, always hope for the best.’ (Atherstone News, 18.6.1915 refers). Chapman was wounded at the Battle of Quatre Bras, 16.6.1815, but evidently was fit enough to take part in the Battle of Waterloo, according to a letter written to his brother: ‘Camp near St. Denis (two leagues from Paris), 5th July 1815. My dear Sam, your affectionate letter of the 15th June I did not get until yesterday, and a joyful day for us it was, for hostilities ceased. Our great Duke has gotten from the enemy (we hear) all he asked, and I suppose a few days will suffice to settle all things so that we can ride into Paris. We had a long hard battle on the 18th; all other battles are foolish things when compared with it. The enemy doubled our number; he left on the field twenty-one thousand killed and wounded, twenty-two thousand prisoners. I have no doubt of his losing more men that day than we had in the field; one whole division of our Army was not in the fight. It was indeed a glorious day for poor old England, our Duke, and we humble instruments. I would not have missed being in the battle for thousands; it shall wind up my fighting. I told mother that all the injury I received was a ball through my cap; it just cut my head.’ (ibid). Retiring as a ‘consequence of wounds’ in April 1819, he died at Leamington, Warwickshire in February 1854. Single Clasp ‘Busaco’ unique to an Officer in the 95th Foot.

ORDERS, DECORATIONS, CAMPAIGN MEDALS AND MILITARIA 171 An Interesting Crimea Pair to Private J. Bagshaw, 4th Light Dragoons, Who Charged With the Light Brigade and Was Taken Prisoner By the Russians, 25.10.1854; He Subsequently Provided an Affidavit in the “Cardigan vs Calthorpe” Libel Suit Crimea 1854-56, three clasps, Alma, Balaklava, Sebastopol (J. Bagshaw. 4th Lt. Dragns.), officially impressed, pawn broker’s marks in obverse field; Turkish Crimea, Sardinian die (Pt. J. Bagshaw. 4th Lt. Dns.), contemporarily engraved in upright serif capitals, pierced for ring suspension as issued, contact marks overall, generally very fine (2) £7,000-9,000 1581 Private James Bagshaw (1835-72) was born in Ardingly, Sussex. He was employed as a Labourer prior to his enlistment with the 4th Light Dragoons in Brighton. Bagshaw served with the regiment during the Crimean War, and rode in the Charge of the Light Brigade at Balaklava, 25.10.1854. He was taken prisoner by the Russians, and repatriated in Autumn 1855, having been conveyed from Odessa by the steam ship Columbo. Whilst still serving with the regiment in Newbridge, Ireland, Bagshaw became involved with the “Cardigan vs Calthorpe” libel suit. Earl Cardigan filed for libel against Colonel Calthorpe, for an imputation of cowardice on behalf of the Earl when leading the Charge of the Light Brigade at Balaklava. Cardigan believed that Calthorpe insinuated this in his book Letters from a Staff Officer in the Crimea. The book was first published in December, 1856, and in it, the author, when describing the charge, observed that Lord Cardigan was not present when most needed, owing to his horse taking fright, swerving and galloping to the rear. Lord Cardigan being indignant at this account, applied immediately to the commander-in-chief for a court martial upon Colonel Calthorpe, which was refused. The Earl next asked the Earl of Carlisle, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, to dismiss Colonel Calthorpe from his staff, which was also refused. On 5th February, 1857, on the publication of a second edition, Earl Cardigan made a speech in the House of Lords, and called on the government to bring the author to a court martial, which was declined. The second edition altered the objectionable passage by adding the following note: The author has relied on statements furnished by officers actually engaged in the charge, but as the excellence of Lord Cardigan’s horsemanship is unquestionable, the idea that his horse ran away with him is no doubt erroneous. This note was repeated in the third edition, which was published in 1858. During 1859 Colonel Calthorpe on being remonstrated with by a friend of Lord Cardigan, directed about 1,000 copies, being all that remained of the publication, to be suppressed. Owing to a new work on the Crimean war by Kinglake being partly published, which had revived the public interest on the subject, Lord Cardigan made an application for the above rule.

171

It was as part of the above process that Bagshaw swore his affidavit, 29.5.1863, it being filed on the 2nd June, and stating, ‘I have been in the regiment nine years. I remember the Charge of the Light Cavalry Brigade at Balaklava on the 25th October 1854. I was on the right of the right squadron in the rear rank. When within about 40 yards of the guns my horse was killed, and I was taken prisoner by the Russian lancers. A Russian officer then came up and asked me in English “Who was that English officer who rode back on the chestnut horse with white heels?” I said, “I did not know.” At that time I was not aware what coloured horse Lord Cardigan rode on that day, but I afterwards heard from several of the other English prisoners taken that his Lordship did ride a chestnut horse with white heels during the charge. I never saw his Lordship after we started.” Bagshaw returned to Ardingly in later life, and was buried in St. Peter’s Church, West Balcombe Lane. Dutton in Forgotten Heroes, The Charge of the Light Brigade gives Bagshaw as a three clasp medal, but ‘Not recorded on Sebastopol Roll (AS149)’. The medal appears entirely as issued.

Tragedy at Bridgwater According to the Coroner’s Inquest, ‘the deceased, who was in ill-health as a result of war service, and suffered from neuritis, had lodged at the home of Mrs. Georgina Ellis, an elderly widow, for five months following treatment at the military hospital at Bath. On Monday the 23rd August he appeared to be in normal condition during the day, but in the evening he became rather excited. He slept downstairs, and during the early part of the evening was asleep, but woke up at about quarter to twelve, and seeing the moon shining, thought it was the sun. He said he wanted to go out into the garden to see the flowers. Mrs. Ellis prevented him from doing so by locking the door of the house and taking away the key. She quietened him, and left him in bed downstairs, apparently comfortable and asleep. However, he rose again, and climbing the stairs, went into an unoccupied bedroom, shut, and locked the door. Mrs. Ellis rose again, went downstairs and unlocked the front door, with the intention of going out and looking through the window to see what had happened to him. She went out, and found him lying in the road under the upstairs window. He was in great pain. Neighbours came and helped him into the house and put him to bed. A Doctor was fetched, and arrived within a few minutes, but the deceased only regained consciousness for about half an hour until his death, which took place at 2:30am on Thursday morning.’ (Bridgwater Mercury refers).

Lieutenant-Colonel Reed was responsible for the cooperation between the British Royal Electrical personnel in the Center Zone. Through his efforts all available knowledge in connection with the operation Overlord was made available to the United States personnel. The valuable technical experience of LieutenantColonel Reed was of inestimable service to the United States Ordnance and contributed greatly to the efficiency with

Lieutenant-Colonel A.W. Reed which the American part of the operation Overlord developed and was fulfilled. The outstanding services rendered by Lieutenant-Colonel Reed reflect the highest credit upon himself and the Allied Forces.’ Lieutenant-Colonel Arthur Weston Reed, T.D., born Clapham, London, May 1897; educated at Alleyn’s School, Dulwich; commissioned Second Lieutenant, East Surrey Regiment, 8.8.1915, with whom he served during the Great War on the Western Front; promoted Lieutenant, 1.7.1917; wounded, 21.8.1918; demobilised, 11.11.1919; commissioned Lieutenant, 4th Battalion Loyal North Lancashire Regiment (Territorial Army), 15.10.1920; promoted Captain, Royal Army Ordnance Corps, 5.7.1937; transferred as Major to the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, 1.10.1942. “Operation Overlord” The personal documents of Reed date from April-September 1944, and place him as Colonel in Chief for ‘REME ServicesRepair & Recovery’. The focus for this branch of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers was the essential waterproofing of the vehicles set to land on ‘D-Day’ and the recovery and repair of tanks from the field. Their work was clearly considered intrinsic to the success of “Overlord”, as a paper of 4.4.1944 marked ‘Top Secret’ states ‘The enemy knows that preparations are going forward and he will stop at nothing to obtain all the information he requires. DO NOT JEOPARDISE THE LIVES OF YOUR COMRADES. KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT.’ Following the success of the Operation, a paper marked ‘Confidential’ and dated

His eulogy reports of his career, including his success against a Russian Grand Master and exploits upon the cricket field, finishing with Reed’s favourite saying ‘Ye rigid Ploughman; bear in mind your labour, is for future hours, advance, spare not, not look behind, plough deep and straight, with all your powers.’

April 21, 2016 - LONDON Lieutenant Daniel Baird joined the Royal Navy as First Class Volunteer, July 1803; he initially served in H.M.S. Loire (Captain F.L. Maitland), attaining the rank of Midshipman in February of the following year; On ‘16th March and 17th August in the same year, he assisted at the capture of the French privateers Braave, of 16 guns and 110 men, and (after a chase of 20 hours) Blonde, of 30 guns and 240 men; was under fire of the batteries in Muros Bay when they were gallantly stormed and carried, and the privateers Confiance and Bélier taken by the boats under Lieutenant the late Sir James Lucas Yeo, 4th June 1805; aided, on 25th of the same month, in capturing another privateer, Le Vaillant, of a force similar to the Blonde; on 24th December following was in company with L’Egyptienne at the capture, after an obstinate resistance, of La Libre, of 40 guns and 280 men; and, in July, 1806, conveyed to Sir Richard Keats, off L’Orient, intelligence which led to the capture of Le Rhin, of 44 guns’ (O’Byrne refers); after a brief return home, in 1806, he saw subsequent service in H.M. Ships Magnificent, Volontaire, and Royal William; he rejoined Captain Maitland when he was appointed to H.M.S Emerald, December 1806; in April 1807 ‘we find him contributing to the capture, among other vessels, of the Austerlitz privateer, of 14 guns and 96 men, and during the remainder of the year employed with the force under Sir Richard Strachan at the blockade of Rochefort. On the night of 13th March, 1808, Mr Baird participated, under Lieutenant Charles Bertram, in a very desperate effort to bring out from Vivero harbour, on the coast of Spain, a large French schooner, L’Apropos, of 8 guns and 70 men, of which, while the majority of the boats were engaged with two heavy forts, he was deputed to take possession. The attack however proving impracticable, in consequence of the vessel having gone on shore at high water, she was eventually fired and blown up; previously to which, Mr Baird, who had been rejoined by Lieutenant Bertram, had taken part in a sharp affray with the enemy, and had been for several hours exposed to a galling fire from musketry of a body of troops not 30 yards distant’ (ibid); Baird was Mentioned in Captain Maitland’s Despatch of 14.3.1808 (London Gazette 1808, p416) for the action thus, ‘While these occurrences were taking place, Mr. Bertram, with his Party, had walked on over land, and joined Mr. Baird, the Midshipman, who had been sent to take possession of the schooner, which had run on shore on the rocks. As soon as they made out our determination of entering the port on the road, he was met by a party of the schooner’s crew, consisting of about sixty men; they gave and received a discharge of musketry from our people; but on their advancing with the pike and bayonet, took to flight, leaving several dead on the road. Mr. Bertram’s anxiety to save the schooner induced him to persevere, for several hours, in attempting to get her off (which was rendered impracticable from her having gone on shore at high water); during which time a large body of infantry had been collected, and galled our men excessively with musketry, that it became absolutely necessary to set her on fire, which was accordingly done about 1am when she soon blew up, and at daylight there was not a vestige of her to be seen’; the British losses for the action were 9 killed and 16 wounded; Baird served as Master’s Mate for Lord Gambier’s destruction of the shipping in Basque Roads, April 1809; subsequent service included in Sir A.I. Cochrane’s flag-ships Pompee, Neptune and Statira, all on the West Indies station; he was attached to H.M.S. Conquestador (Captain Lord William Stewart), in the Channel, 1810, and ‘on 27th December 1811, was taken prisoner in a brave but inauspicious attack on a French flotilla near Isle d’Aix. He returned from captivity 20th April 1814 (O’Byrne refers); served as Supernumerary Master’s Mate in H.M. ships Royal William (Captain R. Hall) and the Norge (Captain C. Dashwood), May 1814-May 1815; appointed Lieutenant for service in H.M.S. Emolus, February 1815, and placed on half-pay the following year.

Baird, Master’s Mate.), lightly cleaned, minor edge nick, good very fine, Unique clasp combination £14,000-18,000 Daniel Baird served as Master’s Mate in H.M.S. Emerald for the destruction of the French 8-gun schooner L’Apropos (which was carrying despatches from the Isle de France) and the destruction of enemy batteries by men of the boats of H.M.S. Emerald (36 guns Captain F.L. Maitland) at Vivero, north west coast of Spain, 13.3.1808; Baird served as Supernumerary Master’s Mate in H.M.S. Norge and was present in the boats commanded by Commanders Lockyer, Montrenor and Roberts who were tasked with an attack on an American force of 5 gunboats, a sloop and a schooner, 14.12.1814. This attack was to take place on Lake Borgne in preparation for clearing the way for a direct assault on New Orleans. On the 12th at 9.30am, arriving within longshot of the enemy, Commander Lockyer and his men, after a 36-mile pull against a strong current all the way, stopped for breakfast. At 10.30am they took to their oars again, with the tide running against them at three miles an hour, and moved forward into a hail of round and grape shot. Almost at noon, Commander Lockyer’s boat, being foremost, got alongside the gunboat with the Commodore’s pennant and a desperate fight ensued in which nearly all the assailants were either killed or wounded. Commander Lockyer was among the latter, but the remnant gained the American’s deck and, being well supported by other boats, the vessel was soon taken. The guns of the captured gunboat were turned on the remaining four and, with the boats of the second and third divisions arriving in quick succession, the whole American force was taken in five minutes. One of the most daring naval feats on record was not without loss, mostly sustained from the galling fire on the boats when advancing to the attack against a heavy current - 17 killed and 67 wounded, three mortally. This was the last and indeed the largest Boat Action for which the Naval General Service 1793-1840 medal was granted. Approximately 10 ‘Emerald 13 March 1808’ clasps issued.

Clery C.B., and was educated at Wellington College. The 1916 Wellington Year Book has Clery as Head of Combermere House, Captain of Fives, Captain of Second Rugby XV, and a member of the Cricket XI, finishing that year eighth in the batting averages and second in the bowling averages. His performances were summarised in the Year Book ‘A steady bat but rather lacking in confidence, and is apt to get out leg before. As a bowler, keeps a good length, but must learn not to bowl no-balls. Has been very useful as a fielder in the slips.’ Commissioned Second Lieutenant, Indian Army, 31.1.1918, he served as a Company Officer to the 53rd Sikhs (Frontier Force) Regiment attached to the South Waziristan Militia, a posting which ‘...was a tough life, suitable for British Officers with a love of action and adventure...’ Promoted Lieutenant, 31.1.1919, he subsequently served with the Kurrum Militia from 21.12.1918 as Wing Officer. Promoted Captain, 31.1.1923, he transferred to the 16th Punjab Regiment, and was later appointed Company Officer of the 4/16th, 26.11.1928; further promotions for this Officer from a respected family could have been expected, however the Gazette of India, 21.9.1929 under the heading ‘Dismissals, Removals and Discharges, Indian Army’, stated ‘Captain Percy Arthur Adamson Clery, 4th Battalion, 16th Punjab Regimen (Bhopal), is dismissed the service by sentence of a General Court Martial, Dated 5 September 1929.’ Further research has unfortunately revealed little as to the exact reason for his dismissal, bar a transcript dated 14.10.1929 confirming ‘Scandalous Conduct’ the cause of his dismissal.

May 1941.), nearly extremely fine £300-400 King’s Commendation for Brave Conduct London Gazette 19.8.1941 Captain Claude Elliott William Hersee, Master The recommendation, dated 2.7.1941, states: ‘The S.S. Fowberry Tower was attacked by an enemy aircraft. She answered at once, and silenced the bomber’s machine-gun. She was twice hit by bombs, and began to sink; most of the crew were blown or washed off the ship. The Master was half an hour in the water before being picked up by a trawler. By then many of the crew had been rescued, but, as the Master noticed that one or two were still missing, he went back to his ship in the trawler’s boat. The vessel had almost foundered. On board he found the Second Mate. He was alive, but both his legs were broken, and he was pinned down by wreckage. The water was nearly up to where he lay. The Master’s courage saved the Second Mate’s life.’ Captain Claude Elliot William Hersee, born Brockley, June 1895; served during the Great War in the Merchant Navy, and in the Second War as Master of the S.S. Fowberry Tower; was awarded the Lloyd’s Medal for Bravery at Sea for his gallantry during low level German Air Force attacks on his vessel when in the mid-Atlantic, 12.5.1941; as the attacks intensified after the moon rose, the Fowberry Tower was sunk, and Hersee and the crew were eventually rescued by the Royal Navy; Commissioned Lieutenant, 21.1.1942, and subsequently served with the Sea Transport Service in the Middle East from 20.3.1942; promoted Lieutenant-Commander, 31.3.1944; advanced Superintending Sea Transport Officer, November 1945.

The Rate of Premium is 20% of the final hammer price of each lot. I understand Spink will pursue me for payment for any successful bid. In addition, I understand and consent that Spink may share my personal details relating to the default with other auction houses and live bidding platforms to protect themselves from such defaults. All bids shall be treated as offers made on the Terms and Conditions for Buyers printed in the catalogue. I also understand that Spink provides the service of executing bids on behalf of clients for the convenience of clients and that Spink will not be held responsible for failing to execute bids.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR BUYERS These conditions set out the terms on which we (Spink and Son Limited of 69 Southampton Row, Bloomsbury London WC1B 4ET (company no. 04369748)) contract with you (Buyer) either as agent on behalf of the Seller or as principal if we are the Seller. You should read these conditions carefully. 1

DEFINITIONS The following definitions apply in these conditions: Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme means a VAT margin scheme as defined by HM Revenue & Customs; Buyer’s Premium means the charge payable by you as a percentage of the Hammer Price, at the rates set out in clause 5.1 below; Certificate of Authenticity means a certificate issued by an Expert Committee confirming the authenticity of a Lot; Expert Committee means a committee of experts to whom a Lot may be sent for an extension in accordance with clause 3.4.3; Forgery means a Lot constituting an imitation originally conceived and executed as a whole with a fraudulent intention to deceive as to authorship, origin, age, period, culture or source where the correct description as to such matters is not reflected by the description in the catalogue and which at the date of the auction had a value materially less than it would have had if it had been in accordance with the description in the catalogue. Accordingly, no Lot shall be capable of being a Forgery by reason of any damage and/or restoration work of any kind (including re-enamelling); Hammer Price means the amount of the highest bid accepted by the auctioneer in relation to a Lot; Lot means any item deposited with us for sale at auction and, in particular, the item or items described against any Lot number in any catalogue; Reserve the amount below which we agree with the Seller that the Lot cannot be sold; Seller means the owner of the Lot being sold by us; Spink Group Spink and Son Limited, our subsidiaries and associated companies. VAT value added tax chargeable under VAT and any similar replacement or additional tax; and VAT Symbols means the symbols detailing the VAT status of the Lot details of which are set out at the back of the catalogue.

SPINK’S ROLE AS AGENT

2.1

All sales undertaken by us either at auction or privately are undertaken either as agent on behalf of the Seller or from time to time, as principal if we are the owner of the Lot. Please note that even if we are acting as agent on behalf of the Seller rather than as principal, we may have a financial interest in the Lot.

2.2

The contract for the sale of the Lot will be between you and the Seller.

3.4.3 If we accept a request for an expert opinion or Certificate of Authenticity we will submit the Lot to the Expert Committee. You acknowledge and accept that the length of time taken by an Expert Committee to reach an opinion will vary depending on the circumstances and in any event is beyond our control. 3.4.4 We will not accept a request for an extension on account of condition. Any Lot described in the catalogue as having faults or defects may not be returned even if an expert opinion or Certificate of Authenticity cites other faults or defects not included in the catalogue description, other than in the case of a Forgery.

BEFORE THE SALE 3.1

3.2

Examination of goods You are strongly advised to examine personally any goods in which you are interested, before the auction takes place. Condition reports are usually available on request. We provide no guarantee to you other than in relation to Forgeries, as set out in clause 5.13 of these Terms and Conditions.

3.4.5 Should Spink accept a request for an extension under the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the fact may be stated by the Auctioneer from the rostrum prior to the sale of the Lot. 3.4.6 It should be noted that any stamp accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity is sold on the basis of that Certificate only and not on the basis of any other description or warranty as to authenticity. No request for an extension will be accepted on such a stamp and the return of such a stamp will not be accepted.

Catalogue descriptions 3.2.1 Statements by us in the catalogue or condition report, or made orally or in writing elsewhere, regarding the authorship, origin, date, age, size, medium, attribution, genuineness, provenance, condition or estimated selling price of any Lot are merely statements of opinion, and are not to be relied on as statements of definitive fact. Catalogue and web illustrations are for guidance only, and should not be relied on either to determine the tone or colour of any item. No lot shall be rejected on the grounds of inaccurate reproduction. No lot illustrated in the catalogue and online shall be rejected on the grounds of cancellation, centring, margins, perforation or other characteristics apparent from the illustration. Estimates of the selling price should not be relied on as a statement that this price is either the price at which the Lot will sell or its value for any other purpose. 3.2.2 Many items are of an age or nature which precludes their being in perfect condition and some descriptions in the catalogue or given by way of condition report make reference to damage and/or restoration. We provide this information for guidance only and the absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of any others.

3.4.7 If you receive any correspondence from the Expert Committee in relation to the Lot, including but not limited to a Certificate of Authenticity, you must provide us with copies of such correspondence no later than 7 days after you receive such correspondence. 4

AT THE SALE 4.1

Refusal of admission Our sales usually take place on our own premises or premises over which we have control for the sale, and we have the right, exercisable at our complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or attendance at an auction.

4.2

Registration before bidding You must complete and sign a registration form and provide identification before making a bid at auction. Please be aware that we usually require buyers to undergo a credit check. If you have not bid successfully with Spink in the past, or you are registering with us for the first time, we reserve the right to require a deposit of up to 50% of the amount you intend to spend. Such deposit will be deducted from your invoice should you be successful. If you are unsuccessful at auction, your deposit will be returned by the same means it was paid to Spink. Some lots may be designated, prior to the auction, as “Premium Lots”, which means a deposit may be required before placing a bid on the item for sale. Information will be posted on our website in such an event.

4.3

Bidding as Principal When making a bid (whether such bids are made in person or by way of telephone bids operated by Spink, commission or online or email bids), you will be deemed to be acting as principal and will be accepting personal liability, unless it has been agreed in writing, at the time of registration, that you are acting as agent on behalf of a third party buyer acceptable to us.

4.4

Commission Bids If you give us instructions to bid on your behalf, by using the form provided in our catalogues or via our website, we shall use reasonable endeavours to do so, provided these instructions are received not later than 24 hours before the auction. If we receive commission bids on a particular Lot for identical amounts, and at auction these bids are the highest bids for the Lot, it will be sold to the person whose bid was received first. Commission bids are undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale, and the conduct of the auction may be such that we are unable to bid as requested. Since this is undertaken as a free service to prospective buyers on the terms stated, we cannot accept liability for failure to make a commission bid. You should therefore always attend personally if you wish to be certain of bidding.

3.2.3 Other than as set out in clause 5.13, and in the absence of fraud, neither the Seller nor we, nor any of our employees or agents, are responsible for the correctness of any statement as to the authorship, origin, date, age, attribution, genuineness or provenance of any Lot nor for any other errors of description or for any faults or defects in any Lot. Every person interested should exercise and rely on his own judgment as to such matters. 3.3

Your Responsibility You are responsible for satisfying yourself as to the condition of the goods and the matters referred to in the catalogue description.

3.4

Extensions – Stamps only 3.4.1 If you wish to obtain an expert opinion or Certificate of Authenticity on any Lot (other than a mixed Lot or Lot containing undescribed stamps) you must notify us in writing not less than forty-eight hours before the time fixed for the commencement of the first session of the sale. If accepted by us, such request shall have the same effect as notice of an intention to question the genuineness or description of the Lot for the purposes of clause 5.13 (Refund in the case of Forgery) of these Terms and Conditions and the provisions of clause 5.13 (Refund in the case of Forgery) shall apply accordingly. 3.4.2 Notice of a request for an expert opinion or Certificate of Authenticity must give the reason why such opinion is required and specify the identity of your proposed expert which will be subject to agreement by us. We reserve the right, at our discretion, to refuse a request for an expert opinion or Certificate of Authenticity including (without limitation) where the proposed expert is not known to us.

January/16

4.5

On-line Bidding We offer internet services as a convenience to our clients. We will not be responsible for errors or failures to execute bids placed on the internet, including, without limitation, errors or failures caused by (i) a loss of internet connection by either party for whatever reason; (ii) a breakdown or problems with the online bidding software and/or (iii) a breakdown or problems with your internet connection, computer or system. Execution of on-line internet bids on www.spink.com and Spink Live is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the auction and we do not accept liability for failing to execute an online internet bid or for errors or omissions in connection with this activity. Buyers who acquire lots on the-saleroom.com will have a fee of 3% on the hammer price added to their invoice for using this facility.

4.6

Telephone Bids If you make arrangements with us not less than 24 hours before the sale, we shall use reasonable endeavours to contact you to enable you to participate in bidding by telephone, but in no circumstances will we be liable to either the Seller or you as a result of failure to do so.

4.7

Currency Converter At some auctions, a currency converter will be operated, based on the one month forward rates of exchange quoted to us by Barclays Bank Plc or any other appropriate rate determined by us, at opening on the date of the auction. Bidding will take place in a currency determined by us, which is usually sterling for auctions held in London. The currency converter is not always reliable, and errors may occur beyond our control either in the accuracy of the Lot number displayed on the converter, or the foreign currency equivalent of sterling bids. We shall not be liable to you for any loss suffered as a result of you following the currency converter.

4.8

Video images At some auctions there will be a video screen. Mistakes may occur in its operation, and we cannot be liable to you regarding either the correspondence of the image to the Lot being sold or the quality of the image as a reproduction of the original.

4.9

Bidding Increments Bidding generally opens below the low estimate and advances in the following order although the auctioneer may vary the bidding increments during the course of the auction. The normal bidding increments are: Up to £100 by £5 £100 to £300 by £10 £300 to £600 £320-£350-£380-£400 etc. £600 to £1,000 by £50 £1,000 to £3,000 by £100 £3,000 to £6,000 £3,200-£3,500-£3,800-£4,000 etc. £6,000 to £20,000 by £500 £20,000 and up Auctioneer’s discretion

5.2

5.3

4.10 Bidding by Spink 4.10.1 We reserve the right to bid on Lots on the Seller’s behalf up to the amount of the Reserve (if any), which will never be above the low estimate printed in the auction catalogue. 4.10.2 The Spink Group reserves the right to bid on and purchase Lots as principal. 4.11 The Auctioneer’s Discretion The auctioneer has the right at his absolute discretion to refuse any bid to advance the bidding in such manner as he may decide to withdraw or divide any Lot, to combine any two or more Lots and, in the case of error or dispute, to put an item up for bidding again. 4.12 Successful Bid Subject to the auctioneer’s discretion, the striking of his hammer marks the acceptance of the highest bid, provided always that such bid is higher than the Reserve (where applicable), and the conclusion of a contract for sale between you and the Seller. 4.13 After Sale Arrangements If you enter into any private sale agreements for any Lot with the Seller within 60 days of the auction, we, as exclusive agents of the Seller reserve the right to charge you the applicable Buyer’s Premium in accordance with these Terms and Conditions, and the Seller a commission in accordance with the terms of the Seller’s agreement. 4.14 Return of Lot 4.14.1 Once your bid has been accepted for a Lot then you are liable to pay for that Lot in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. If there are any problems with a Lot then you must notify us within 7 days of receipt of the Lot, specifying the nature of the problem. We may then request that the Lot is returned to us for inspection. Save as set out in clause 5.13, the cancellation of the sale of any Lot and the refund of the corresponding purchase price is entirely at our sole discretion. We will not normally exercise that discretion if the Lot is not received by us in the same condition that it was in at the auction date. 4.14.2 No lot may be returned on account of condition if the condition was stated by a third party grading company (including, but not limited to PCGS, NGC, ANACS, ICG, PMG, WBG). 5

AFTER THE AUCTION 5.1 Buyer’s Premium and other charges In addition to the Hammer Price, you must pay us the Buyer’s Premium at a rate of 20% of the final Hammer price of each lot, a fee of 3% on the hammer price total for using the-saleroom.com and a fee for paying by card.

January/16

5.4

Value Added Tax Other than in respect of Zero-rated Lots (o) VAT is chargeable on the Hammer price and the Buyer’s premium of daggered (†) and (Ω) lots at the standard rate (currently 20%), and on lots marked (x) at the reduced rate (currently 5% on the Hammer price and 20% on the Buyer’s premium). VAT on Margin scheme lots (identified by the absence of any VAT symbol next to the lot number) is payable at 20% on the Buyer’s premium only. VAT Refunds General 5.3.1 As we remain liable to account for VAT on all Lots unless they have been exported outside the EU within 3 months of the date of sale, you will generally be asked to deposit all amounts of VAT invoiced. However, if a Spink nominated shipper is instructed, then any refundable VAT will not be collected. In all other cases credits will be made when proof of export is provided. If you export the Lot yourself you must obtain shipping documents from the Shipping Department for which a charge of £50 will be made. 5.3.2 If you export the Lot you must return the valid proof of export certificate to us within 3 months of the date of sale. If you fail to return the proof of export certificate to us within such period and you have not already accounted to us for the VAT, you will be liable to us for the full amount of the VAT due on such Lot and we shall be entitled to invoice you for this sum. 5.3.3 To apply for a refund of any VAT paid, the proof of export certificate must be sent to our Shipping Department clearly marked ‘VAT Refund’ within 3 months of the date of sale. No payment will be made where the total amount of VAT refundable is less than £50 and Spink will charge £50 for each refund processed. VAT Refunds - Buyers from within the EU 5.3.4 VAT refunds are available on the Hammer Price and Buyer’s Premium of Daggered (†) and Investment Gold (g) Lots. You must certify that you are registered for VAT in another EU country and that the Lot is to be removed from the United Kingdom within 3 months of the date of sale. 5.3.5 Where an EU buyer purchases a Lot on which import VAT has been charged, no refund of VAT is available from us. It may be possible to apply directly for a refund on form VAT 65 to HM Revenue & Customs Overeseas Repayment Section, Londonderry. VAT Refunds – Buyers from outside the EU 5.3.6 Where a Lot is included within the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme and evidence of export from the EU is produced within 3 months of the date of sale, the VAT on Buyer’s Premium may be refunded. 5.3.7 Where the Lot is marked as a Daggered (†) or Investment Gold (g) Lot the VAT charged on the Hammer Price may be refunded where evidence of export from the EU is produced within 3 months of the date of sale. A refund of VAT charged on the Buyer’s Premium can also be made on receipt of proof of business as a collectibles dealer. 5.3.8 Where the Lot is marked as an Omega (Ω) Lot or an Import VAT (x) Lot and evidence of export from the EU is produced within 3 months of the date of sale, the VAT charged on both the Hammer Price and Buyer’s Premium may be refunded. Where required, we can advise you on how to export such Lots as a specific form of export evidence is required. Where we advise you on the export of the Lots, please be aware that the ultimate responsibility in respect of obtaining a valid proof of export certificate will lie with you and we will not be responsible for your failure to obtain such certificate. Payment 5.4.1 You must provide us with your full name and permanent address and, if so requested, details of the bank from which any payments to us will be made. You must pay the full amount due (comprising the Hammer Price, the Buyer’s Premium and any applicable VAT) within seven days after the date of the sale. This applies even if you wish to export the Lot and an export licence is (or may be) required. 5.4.2 You will not acquire title to the Lot until all amounts due have been paid in full. This includes instances where special arrangements were made for release of Lot prior to full settlement. 5.4.3 Payment should be made in sterling by one of the following methods: II(i) Direct bank transfer to our account details of which are set out on the invoice. All bank charges shall be met by you. Please ensure that your client number is noted on the transfer. i(ii) By cheque or bank draft made payable to Spink and Son Ltd and sent to Spink at 69 Southampton Row, Bloomsbury, London WC1B 4ET. Please note that the processing charges for payments made by cheques or bank drafts drawn on a non-U.K bank shall be met by you. Please ensure that the remittance slip printed at the bottom of the invoice is enclosed with your payment. (iii) By Visa, Mastercard or American Express. Payments made by UK issued personal debit cards are subject to a £3 fee. Payments made by American Express are subject to a 4% fee. All other credit and debit card payments are subject to a fee of 2%. For all card payments there are limits to the amounts we will accept depending on the type of card being used and whether or not the cardholder is present. 5.4.4 Payments should be made by the registered buyer and not by third parties, unless it has been agreed at the time of registration that you are acting as an agent on behalf of a third party.

Invoices Invoices may consist of one or more pages and will show: Zero rated Lots (o); no symbol Lots sold under the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme; Lots marked (g) special scheme Investment Gold; Daggered Lots (†), imported Lots marked (x) and (Ω), (e) Lots with Zero rated hammer for EU VAT registered buyers. 5.6 Collection of Purchases 5.6.1 Unless specifically agreed to the contrary, we shall retain lots purchased until all amounts due to us, or to the Spink Group, have been paid in full. Buyers will be required to pay for their lots when they wish to take possession of the same, which must be within 7 days of the date of the sale, unless prior arrangements have been made with Spink. Without prior agreement, lots will not be released until cleared funds are received with regard to payments made by cheque. 5.6.2 Unless we notify you to the contrary, items retained by us will be covered in accordance with our policy which is available for inspection at our offices from the date of sale for a period of seven days or until the time of collection, whichever is sooner. After seven days or from the time of collection, whichever is the earlier, the Lot will be entirely at your risk. 5.6.3 Our policy will not cover and we are unable to accept responsibility for damage caused by woodworm, changes in atmospheric conditions or acts of terrorism. 5.7 Notification We are not able to notify successful bidders by telephone. While Invoices are sent out by mail after the auction we do not accept responsibility for notifying you of the result of your bid. You are requested to contact us by telephone or in person as soon as possible after the auction to obtain details of the outcome of your bids to avoid incurring charges for late payment. 5.8 Packing and handling 5.8.1 We shall use all reasonable endeavours to take care when handling and packing a purchased Lot but remind you that after seven days or from the time of collection, whichever is sooner, the Lot is entirely at your risk. Our postage charges are set out at the back of the catalogue. 5.8.2 It is the responsibility of the Buyer to be aware of any Import Duties that may be incurred upon importation to the final destination. Spink will not accept return of any package in order to avoid these duties. The onus is also on the Buyer to be aware of any Customs import restrictions that prohibit the importation of certain collectibles. Spink will not accept return of the Lot(s) under these circumstances. Spink will not accept responsibility for Lot(s) seized or destroyed by Customs. 5.8.3 If the Buyer requires delivery of the Lot to an address other than the invoice address this will be carried out at the discretion of Spink. 5.9 Recommended packers and shippers If required our shipping department may arrange shipment as your agent. Although we may suggest carriers if specifically requested, our suggestions are made on the basis of our general experience of such parties in the past and we are not responsible to any person to whom we have made a recommendation for the acts or omissions of the third parties concerned. 5.10 Remedies for non-payment or failure to collect purchases 5.10.1 If you fail to make payment within seven days of your stipulated payment date set out in your invoice, we shall be entitled to exercise one or more of the following rights or remedies: 5.10.1.1 to charge interest at the rate of 2% per month compound interest, calculated on a daily basis, from the date the full amount is due; 5.10.1.2 to set off against any amounts which the Spink Group may owe you in any other transaction the outstanding amount remaining unpaid by you; 5.10.1.3 we may keep hold of all or some of your Lots or other property in the possession of the Spink Group until you have paid all the amounts you owe us or the Spink Group, even if the unpaid amounts do not relate to those Lots or other property. Following fourteen days’ notice to you of the amount outstanding and remaining unpaid, the Spink Group shall have the right to arrange the sale of such Lots or other property. We shall apply the proceeds in discharge of the amount outstanding to us or the Spink Group, and pay any balance to you; 5.10.1.4 where several amounts are owed by you to the Spink Group in respect of different transactions, to apply any amount paid to discharge any amount owed in respect of any particular transaction, whether or not you so direct; 5.10.1.5 to reject at any future auction any bids made by you or on your behalf or obtain a deposit from you before accepting any bids. 5.10.2 If you fail to make payment within thirty-five days, we shall in addition be entitled: 5.10.2.1 to cancel the sale of the Lot or any other item sold to you at the same or any other auction; 5.10.2.2 to arrange a resale of the Lot, publicly or privately, and, if this results in a lower price being obtained, claim the balance from you together with all reasonable costs including a 20% seller’s commission, expenses, damages, legal fees, commissions and premiums of whatever kind associated with both sales or otherwise, incurred in connection with your failure to make payment;

5.10.2.3 when reselling the Lot, place a notice in our catalogue stating that you successfully purchased the Lot at auction but have subsequently failed to pay the Hammer Price of the Lot; or 5.10.2.4 take any other appropriate action as we deem fit. 5.10.3 If you fail to collect within fourteen days after the sale, whether or not payment has been made, you will be required 5.10.3.1 to pay a storage charge of £2 per item per day plus any additional handling cost that may apply. 5.10.3.2 you will not be entitled to collect the Lot until all outstanding charges are met, together with payment of all other amounts due to us. 5.11 Uses of default information If you fail to make payment for a Lot in accordance with these Terms and Conditions: 5.11.1 We reserve the right to refuse you the right to make bids for any future auction irrespective of whether previous defaults have been settled; and 5.11.2 You consent to us disclosing details of such default to other auctioneers and live bidding platforms, which will include your name, address, nature of the default and the date of the default. Auctioneers or live bidding platforms who receive details of the default may rely on such information when deciding whether to enter into a transaction with you in the future. 5.12 Export Licence 5.12.1 If required we can, at our discretion, advise you on the detailed provisions of the export licensing regulations. Where we advise you in relation to export licensing regulations the ultimate responsibility in respect of any export will lie with you and we will not be responsible for your failure to apply for any necessary licences. 5.12.2 If the Lot is going to be hand carried by you, you may be required to produce a valid export licence to us or sign a waiver document stating that a licence will be applied for. 5.12.3 You should always check whether an export licence is required before exporting. Export licences are usually obtained within two or three weeks but delays can occur. 5.12.4 Unless otherwise agreed by us in writing, the fact that you wish to apply for an export licence does not affect your obligation to make payment within seven days nor our right to charge interest on late payment. 5.12.5 If you request that we apply for an export licence on your behalf, we shall be entitled to recover from you our disbursements and out of pocket expenses in relation to such application, together with any relevant VAT. 5.12.6 We will not be obliged to rescind a sale nor to refund any interest or other expenses incurred by you where payment is made by you despite the fact that an export licence is required. 5.13 Refund in the case of Forgery 5.13.1 A sale will be cancelled, and the amount paid refunded to you if a Lot (other than a miscellaneous item not described in the catalogue) sold by us proves to have been a Forgery. We shall not however be obliged to refund any amounts if either (a) the catalogue description or saleroom notice at the auction date corresponded to the generally accepted opinion of scholars or experts at that time, or fairly indicated that there was a conflict of opinions, or (b) it can be demonstrated that the Lot is a Forgery only by means of either a scientific process not generally accepted for use until after publication of the catalogue or a process which at the date of the auction was unreasonably expensive or impracticable or likely to have caused damage to the Lot. Furthermore, you should note that this refund can be obtained only if the following conditions are met: 5.13.1.1 you must notify us in writing, within seven days of the receipt of the Lot(s), that in your view the Lot concerned is a Forgery; 5.13.1.2 you must then return the item to us within fourteen days from receipt of the Lot(s), in the same condition as at the auction date; and 5.13.1.3 as soon as possible following return of the Lot, you must produce evidence satisfactory to us that the Lot is a Forgery and that you are able to transfer good title to us, free from any third party claims. 5.13.1.4 you must provide to us all evidence obtained by you that a Lot is a Forgery no later than 7 days after you receive such evidence. 5.13.2 In no circumstances shall we be required to pay you any more than the amount paid by you for the Lot concerned and you shall have no claim for interest. 5.13.3 The benefit of this guarantee is not capable of being transferred, and is solely for the benefit of the person to whom the original invoice was made out by us in respect of the Lot when sold and who, since the sale, has remained the owner of the Lot without disposing of any interest in it to any third party. 5.13.4 We shall be entitled to rely on any scientific or other process to establish that the Lot is not a Forgery, whether or not such process was used or in use at the date of the auction. 6

Shipments of more than 2kg or volumetric measurement of more than 2kg have to be sent by courier. Certain countries may incur extra charge when courier services are required by our insurance policy. For lots sent by courier please contact Auctionteam@spink.com for calculation of any further relevant cost in addition to the above charges. Value Added Tax (VAT) Charging of (VAT) at Auction The information shown on this page sets out the way in which Spink intends to account for VAT. i.

Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme 1. Where possible, we will offer Lots for sale under the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme. Such Lots can be identified by the absence of any VAT symbol next to the Lot number in the catalogue and will not be subject to VAT on the Hammer Price. 2. Where Lots are sold using the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme to UK VAT–registered businesses, the VAT on Buyers’ Premium is not recoverable as input tax. Upon request on sale day, we will issue invoices that show VAT separately on both the Hammer Price and the Buyer’s Premium. This will enable VAT-registered businesses to recover the VAT charged as input tax, subject to the normal rules for recovering input tax.

ii.

Zero-Rated Lots Limited Categories of goods, such as books, are Zero-rated (o) for VAT in the United Kingdom. Such Lots are offered under the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme. In these circumstances no VAT will be added to the Buyer’s premium.

iii.

Daggered Lots Lots which are Daggered (†) in the catalogue are subject to VAT at 20% on both the Hammer Price and the Buyer’s Premium.

iv.

Imported and Omega Lots Lots which are marked (x) in the catalogue are subject to VAT at 5% on the Hammer price plus 20% on the Buyer’s premium. Lots which bear the Omega symbol (Ω) are subject to VAT at 20% on the Hammer Price and on the Buyer’s Premium. This VAT is payable on items imported from outside the EU. In these cases we have used a temporary importation procedure, which in effect means that the point of importation is deferred until the Lot has been sold. At this point the Buyer is treated as the importer and is liable to pay the import VAT due. We will collect the VAT from you and pay it to HM Customs and Excise on your behalf.

Investment Gold Lots Lots marked (g) in the catalogue are exempt from VAT on the Hammer Price and are subject to VAT at 20% on the Buyer’s Premium. A refund of VAT charged on the Buyer’s Premium can also be made on receipt of proof of business as a collectibles dealer outside of the EU.
