2nd Bn Welsh Regiment Possible Unique Officer Combination of Five Medals. Robert Baden Powell InterestAwarded to Captain John Gardiner who served in the ranks of the 2nd Bn in China 1900, commissioned into the South African Constabulary 1901 and recalled to the Colours in 1914 when he was granted a Commission. Comprising: Queen’s South Africa Medal, five clasps “Cape Colony”, “Orange Free State”, “Transvaal”, “South Africa 1901”, “South Africa 1902”, “2/LIEUT J. GARDINER S.A.C”. (script Officer naming), China Medal “SERGT J GARDINER 2ND WELSH REGT” (Script naming no regimental number), 1914/15 Star, “CAPT J GARDINER WELSH R”, British War Medal, Victory Medal, “CAPT J GARDINER”. Medals loose. ... The medals are accompanied by a typed letter dated 1907 clearly signed by Robert Baden Powell Major General, with reference to his service with the South African Constabulary. Captain John Gardiner had an extraordinary career after education at Trinity College Dublin he enlisted into the 2nd Bn Welsh Regiment, with promotion to Corporal following year in 1892. He was posted with the regiment to India and was promoted Sergeant and qualified to take charge of Transport. In 1896 he was appointed to the Staff of the Quartermaster General India. In 1897 he returned to his Bn with a recommendation for promotion. In 1900 he was specially selected to be attached to the Indian Contingent and proceeded to Hong Kong and after the capture of Taku Forts took part in the advance to Tientsin. in 1901 at the request of Lord Curzon Gardiner was recommended for a commission in the South African Constabulary. In 1903 whilst still serving with the SAC he applied for the China Medal, giving his details as “Late Serg 2/Welsh Regt” no regimental number is given and as commissioned Officer this may explain the unusual naming. In 1906 he resigned his commission and found work in Canada returning to England in 1912. At the outbreak of the Great War he was commissioned into the 10th Bn Royal Warwickshire Regiment with the rank of Captain he later transferred to his old regiment taking up a post with the 9th Bn Welsh Regiment. He landed in France with the Bn on the 18th July 1915, he took part in the Battle of Loos and in January 1916 was invalided home with illness contracted in the Trenches. Later that year he was posted as Pay Master and Company Officer at the Convalescent Camp at Warlingham. He resigned his commission for a final time on the 5th August 1919, being awarded the Silver War Badge. A digital photo of Captain Gardiner wearing his medals exists. Basic research has found that the Welsh Regiment only received two China 1900 medals, the other being award with clasp to Captain R.W.P. White who was attached to the Headquarters.

Original vintage lithograph Travel Poster - 100 Years of the first train journey in Switzerland. The construction and operation of Swiss railways during the 19th century was carried out by private railways. The first internal line was a 16 km line opened from Zürich to Baden in 1847. By 1860 railways connected western and northeastern Switzerland. The first Alpine railway to be opened under the Gotthard Pass in 1882. A second alpine line was opened under the Simplon Pass in 1906. In 1901, the major railways were nationalised to form Swiss Federal Railways. During the first half of the twentieth century they were electrified and slowly upgraded. After the Second World War, rail rapidly lost its share of the rail market to road transport as car ownership rose and more roads were built. From 1970, the Federal Government has become more involved in upgrading the railways, especially in urban areas and on trunk routes under the Rail 2000 project. In addition, two major trans-alpine routes — the Gotthard Railway and the Lötschberg approach to the Simplon Tunnel — are being rebuilt under the NRLA project.Country: Switzerland. Year: 1947.

A group of three scrap albums compiled by Leila Evelyn Landon, relating to the events of the Second Boer War, with some references to her husband Major Kenneth McLaren's involvement in the War, and a revealing telegram from Baden-Powell, 1899-1901, largely comprising hundreds of cuttings from newspapers and magazines of the day, one cutting [Daily Mail, 17 April 1900] giving the first news of McLaren's capture, 'he was now lying dangerously wounded in a laager two miles from the town. Owing to this officer being a Freemason, and to his meeting brother masons among the Boers, he is receiving every attention, and their anxiety on his account is quite remarkable. They send daily bulletins, and the last accounts were favourable. Sarah Wilson'; plus occasional further pencil corrections and notes to cuttings; a few scattered related ink signatures of officers involved including R.S.S. Baden-Powell, H. Plumer, W.P. Symons, Fred. Hammersley, A. Wormald, D.E. Wood, E.D. Miller; a pencil sketch map of Camp Junction, Limpopo; two menu invitations to Private W.H.F. Landon (Leila's brother); plus various telegrams sent to Mrs McLaren, mostly by her husband, messages reading: 'Buller has relieved Ladysmith', 1 March 1900; 'Cronje has surrendered', 27 February 1900; handwritten copy of a telegram sent by Lord Roberts to Colonel Plumer after the Relief of Mafeking; 'Roberts has taken Pretoria after twelve hours fighting' (date stamp indistinct); 'Splendid victory by Hunter 500 Boers captured' (30 July 1900); plus an interesting telegram sent by Baden-Powell to McLaren, received by the Eastern Telegraph Company from Funchal via Eastern, 23 July 1901, to McLaren, S.A. Constabulary, Colonial Office, London, 'Could you put me up Friday night incognito Bloater'; plus a few items loosely inserted including a short autograph note initialled in Kenneth McLaren's hand, Shashi Patrol, December 1899, concerning reconnaissance, a total of approximately 110 stiff card leaves, some leaves detached, contemporary red half roan, worn, covers detached and backstrips deficient, folio Kenneth McLaren was a Major in the 13th Hussars Regiment of the British army. After his military service he assisted with the growth of the Scouting movement, founded by his friend Robert Baden-Powell. In 1898 McLaren married Leila Evelyn Landon, who died in 1904. During the Second Boer War in South Africa McLaren was gravely wounded at the siege of Mafeking in March 1900, falling prisoner to the Boers. McLaren first met Baden-Powell (also a 13th Hussars officer) in 1881. Although McLaren was 20 at the time, Baden-Powell nicknamed him 'The Boy', on account of his young appearance. In turn, McLaren's nickname for Baden-Powell was 'Bloater'. The two became good friends, their relationship being one of the most important friendships in Baden-Powell's life. McLaren was one of the staff at Baden-Powell's Brownsea Island Scout Camp in 1907 and Baden-Powell convinced McLaren to be his first manager at the C. Arthur Pearson Ltd office of The Scout magazine but McLaren resigned that position in March 1908. Relations between the two ceased upon McLaren's second marriage in 1910 to Ethyl Mary Wilson (his nurse). Baden-Powell considered Ethyl below McLaren's station and advised against the marriage. There has been much speculation about Baden-Powell's sexuality, much of this attention following in the decades since Tim Jeal's exhaustive biography Baden-Powell (Hutchinson, 1989), wherein he closely scrutinised the relationship between 'Bloater' and 'Boy'. Jeal stopped short of concluding that the relationship was in any sense sexual or romantic, but reveals a very close bond which, had it been made public, would have scandalised Edwardian social attitudes. Tim Jeal wrote that 'The available evidence points inexorably to the conclusion that Baden-Powell was a repressed homosexual'; but the telegram from Bloater to McLaren included in these albums hints that the relationship may have been more than just platonic. Certainly, the fact that McLaren's wife Leila, who compiled these albums, saw fit to include this telegram, the meaning of which must have been clear to her, suggests that she privately accepted the relationship or affair, whatever her true feelings about it were.
