The Right Honourable Sir Charles Hardinge, 1st Baron Hardinge of Penshurst, K.G., G.C.B., G.C.S.I., G.C.M.G., G.C.I.E., G.C.V.O., I.S.O., Privy Counsellor, (1858-1944), was the younger son of the 2nd Viscount Hardinge, and was educated at Harrow and Trinity College, Cambridge. He entered the Foreign Office in 1880 and rose rapidly to become British Ambassador at St Petersburg, 1904-06, and, as Permanent Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, head of the Foreign Office. One of the most brilliant diplomatists of his time and close friend and trusted adviser of Edward VII, he was raised to the peerage as 1st Baron Hardinge of Penshurst in 1910, when, forsaking the courts and chanceries of Europe which he knew so well, he fulfilled his lifetime’s ambition to follow in the steps of his grandfather, the Peninsular veteran who was Governor-General of India at the time of the First Sikh War, by becoming Viceroy of India. Hardinge arrived in India in November 1910, ‘full of enthusiasm for his great undertaking; a supremely self-confident figure, tall, spare, upright, with a high forehead and trim moustache, looking younger than his fifty-two years’, at his side a Vicereine who was to acquire a reputation for being every bit as clever as her husband. Hardinge’s first challenge was to reunite Bengal following partition in 1905 which had been the cause of terrorism and assassination attempts during his predecessor’s time. The unification of Bengal to form a Presidency under a Calcutta-based Governor sent out from home gave rise to the momentous decision to move the Imperial capital from Calcutta to Delhi. The move which was to become the principal legacy of Hardinge’s reign was announced by the King-Emperor, George V, at the Delhi Durbar in December 1911 – this third and last of the great Delhi gatherings being by far the most spectacular costing £660,000 against Curzon’s 1903 expenditure of £180,000. In March 1912 the Hardinges vacated Government House in Calcutta to make way for the new Governor of Bengal, and took up residence in Delhi, occupying a large bungalow which was to serve as the winter residence of the Viceroys for the next seventeen years until Edwin Lutyens’ grand design for the Viceroy’s House, New Delhi, was finally completed. Hardinge had strong views on style yet insisted on a woefully inadequate construction budget and a demand for speed that was far from conducive to producing timeless architecture in the grand manner. Indeed Hardinge’s role as patron to Lutyens has been described as ‘one of the classic conflicts of architectural history, comparable with that of Michelangelo and Pope Julius II’. Hardinge’s persistent urging was important however in ensuring that tangible progress was made before outbreak of war, which otherwise would probably have caused plans for the new Imperial capital and a world-class palace to be dropped. In December 1912 Lord and Lady Hardinge made their official entry into Delhi riding in the silver State howdah at the head of a long elephant procession of chiefs and high officials. As they passed through the crowded streets of the old city Hardinge remarked to his wife that something terrible was going to happen. A few moments later his premonition became reality when an anarchist threw a nail bomb at them from an upper storey window causing an explosion which could be heard up to six miles away. Initially it seemed that no harm had been done, but as Hardinge retrieved his topi which was passed up on the end of a lance, Lady Hardinge glanced round to see that the attendant who held the umbrella was dead, ‘his shattered body entangled in the ropes of the howdah’. She then noticed a rent in the back of her husband’s tunic and blood flowing freely from it. In the next instant Hardinge fell forward unconscious. With the help of aides, Lady Hardinge managed to get her husband down from the elephant, which was too terrified to kneel, by means of a hastily assembled pile of packing cases. As Hardinge lay on the pavement with a burst ear-drum among his injuries, he briefly came to and ordered the procession to proceed as though nothing had happened with his Finance Member standing in for him. A car whisked the Viceroy away to Viceregal Lodge, but the servants had all gone to watch the procession and it was left to Hardinge’s twelve year old daughter, Diamond, to make up a bed. A succession of operations to remove nails, screws, and gramophone needles with which the bomb was packed ensued. More serious than his physical injuries however was the psychological one which appeared to make him evermore conciliatory in his dealings with Indians. Furthermore he was observed to have lost much of his self-confidence. He was personally dismayed that terrorism was still a factor in Indian life and was accused of playing to the ‘Indian gallery’. In 1913 he annoyed subordinates and local officials in the United Provinces, by going over their heads and making an unprecedented appearance in Cawnpore to settle a dispute over a mosque which had caused serious riots and was inflaming Muslim opinion across India. He addressed the entire Muslim population of the city and having reproached them severely for their disobedience, proceeded to win the crowd by ordering the release of more than a hundred rioters from prison. Needless to say his dealings with Lutyens became yet more fractious. In 1914 he was hit by a series of personal tragedies. In the spring Lady Hardinge died unexpectedly after an operation carried out in England – a blow by all accounts far greater than the bomb. Later in the year his elder son (Lieut., D.S.O., 15th Hussars) was mortally wounded in France. Then the Viceroy lost three of his A.D.C.s to the war, all three being killed within a few days of each other. Diamond, on whom he became evermore reliant, died aged twenty-six in 1927. With the outbreak of war there was much to distract him from grief. He at once sent large numbers of Indian troops to Europe to help slow down the first German advance on Paris, and reduced the British garrison in India to what was regarded by some as a dangerously low-level yet kept order satisfactorily. He was also responsible for organizing the transport, supplies and medical services for the Mesopotamian campaign under Sir Beauchamp Duff whose appointment as C-in-C he had strongly supported in 1914. Whilst he relied too heavily on Duff (who eventually committed suicide) and can thus be blamed in some part for the Mesopotamian nightmare, he did go to Basra in person as soon as he realized how bad things were to try and improve the conditions of the troops. A post-war commission of inquiry absolved him of all blame. Owing to the war his Viceroyalty was extended for six months beyond the usual term. He returned home and became head of the Foreign Office once more before attaining the absolute pinnacle of the Dipolmatic Service, the Paris Embassy, 1920-22. In 1931...

A rare inter-War North-West Frontier ‘V.C. Action’ D.S.O. group of three awarded to Lieutenant G. J. Hamilton, 5th Battalion, 12th Frontier Force Regiment (Queen Victoria’s Own Corps of Guides), for his gallant conduct on 29 September 1935 when he advanced under heavy fire across a narrow Col in an attempt to support two platoons of Guides Infantry under the command of Captain G. Meynell that occupied a summit point and were in grave danger of being overwhelmed; having secured his own objective he realised the small supporting force of HQ Wing and two platoons of Guides Infantry were pinned down on an adjacent peak and unable to offer support. On his own initiative Hamilton then led a gallant charge across a narrow ridge linking the two peaks, but fell severely wounded at the head of his men, the ground being swept by fire from all sides. With the tribesmen above and around the flanks of Meynell and his few remaining men, the gallant Captain Meynell was overwhelmed and died fighting to the last in fierce hand-to-hand combat. For the ‘fine example Meynell set to his men, coupled with his determination to hold the position to the last, maintain the traditions of the Army, and reflect the highest credit on his fallen comrades’, Meynell was awarded a posthumous Victoria Cross. Hamilton’s position was now critical. Attacked by overwhelming numbers, severely wounded and hardly able to move, he organised a defensive position to cover the withdrawal of the supporting troops, remaining in position for over three hours, during which ‘he emphatically refused to be evacuated until a final retirement was ordered’ Distinguished Service Order, G.V.R., silver-gilt and enamel, with integral top riband bar, in Garrard, London, case of issue; India General Service 1908-35, 1 clasp, North West Frontier 1935, with M.I.D. oak leaf (Lt.

London Gazette 24 December 1935: ‘For gallant and distinguished service in action in connection with the recent Mohmand operations, North West Frontier of India, 1935’. The official Recommendation, published in The Times on 26 October 1935 states: ‘Lieutenant Hamilton led two Platoons in support of forward companies attacked by overwhelming numbers. Severely wounded and hardly able to move, he organised a defensive position to cover the withdrawal, holding it for three hours, during which he emphatically refused to be evacuated until a final retirement was ordered. It was entirely through the action of this gallant officer that the enemy were held in check and the wounded evacuated.’ M.I.D. London Gazette 8 May 1936: 'For distinguished services rendered in the field in connection with the Mohmand Operations, North West Frontier of India, during the period 15/16 August to 15/16 October 1935.’ Godfrey John Hamilton was born on 31 March 1912, the son of Lieutenant-Colonel F. A. Hamilton, O.B.E., and was educated at Radley and the Royal Military College Sandhurst. He was commissioned Second Lieutenant, Unattached List, Indian Army, on 1 September 1932, and was posted to Queen Victoria’s Own Corps of Guides the following year, being promoted Lieutenant on 1 December 1934. He served with the 5th Battalion, 12th Frontier Force Regiment in the operations against the Mohmand tribesmen on the North West Frontier in 1935, and was severely wounded and awarded the D.S.O. for his gallantry in the action at Point 4080 on 29 September 1935, for which Captain Godfrey Meynell was awarded a posthumous Victoria Cross. The Attack on Point 4080, 29 September 1935 Documents at the India Office Library make reference to the following code names given to prominent rocky features used in official narratives; (i) high ground at Point 318367 - ‘Teeth’; (ii) rocky pinnacle East of Point 4080 - ‘Nipple’; (iii) small rocky feature about three hundred yards West of ‘Nipple’ - ‘Pimple’. The purpose of the operation was ‘clean up sniping parties which came from the head of the Wucha Jawar Valley, the direction of Muzi Kor and Zanawar China, and inflict the maximum possible loss on these elements’. The plan was for the Guides to seize and hold Teeth and from there to capture Point 4080, the object being to catch the enemy flushed from Muzi Kor and the Wucha Jawar in enfilade fire. The advance to Point 4080 was carried out in four phases; (i) the approach march from camp to the foot of the spur; (ii) Capture of ‘Teeth’ by Hamilton; (iii) Capture of ‘Nipple’ by Rendall; (iv) Capture of Point 4080. The Guides left Wucha Jawar camp at 0200 hours and strength of the force was as follows; ‘A’ Company (Lieutenant A. P. S. Rendall), 3 Indian officers and 76 Indian other ranks; ‘B’ Company (Lieutenant G. J. Hamilton), 3 Indian officers and 86 Indian other ranks; ‘C’ Company (Honorary Lieutenant Shadi Khan), 2 Indian officers and 82 Indian other ranks; HQ Wing (Major S. Good) with Captain G. Meynall Adjutant, Doherty Medical Officer, 2 Indian officers and 86 Indian other ranks; the total force consisting of 4 British officers, 1 British MO, 10 Indian officers and 330 Indian other ranks. The first phase was completed by 0400 hours, with Hamilton occupying ‘Teeth’ by 0520 hours. The third phase began with ‘C’ Company acting as advanced guard moving up a spur leading to ‘Nipple’ which was occupied at 0545 hours. The final phase then began with Shadi Khan leading two platoons from ‘C’ Company, with Rendall in close support bringing up two platoons of ‘A’ Company plus an advanced HQ party which included Meynell. The remainder of the small attacking force under Good remained on Nipple. The approach to 4080 was along a long and narrow Col which restricted the advance to single file. With daylight approaching and the tribesmen now fully alerted and in far greater numbers than anticipated, the two platoons under Shadi Khan became pinned down by heavy fire after covering a distance of two hundred yards. Having reached a position where the Col broadened out slightly, Shadi Khan formed a fire position from which the final assault could be made. At this point, Rendall and Meynell came forward, and ordering Shadi Khan to remain in his present position to give covering fire, led the final assault with two platoons from ‘A’ Company and two sections from ‘C’ Company. Despite the growing hostile fire and the difficult nature of the ground, Rendall reached one of the points of 4080, which is best described as a coxcomb being made up of several small peaks, with the two platoons of ‘A’. Battalion HQ had now established themselves across the Col and on the east face of 4080. But it was now broad daylight and in the face of such heavy fire, the supporting sections of ‘C’ were unable to scale the cliff face, with the result that Rendall and Meynell were left isolated. Major Good now realised the seriousness of the situation but was unable to communicate with the 3rd Light Battery for covering fire as the Forward Observation Officer had been wounded and the telephone lost. However a helio message was sent to Hamilton who was ordered up with two platoons, at which point the signaller was shot dead. Hamilton then advanced in an attempt to reach Rendall and Meynell but fell severely wounded at the head of his men having reached the rocky outcrop codenamed Pimple, from which point no further advance was possible, the...

After the war she served at Haslar, Chatham, Malta, and R.N.H. Plymouth. She was discharged to pension on 17 August 1930. Her nursing reports show her as always being assessed as very good, exemplary or above average. She was awarded the Medaille d’Honneur des Epidemies in May 1919 and the medal was forwarded to her on 19 May 1922. She attended Buckingham Palace for the investiture of her A.R.R.C. on 14 March 1930. According to information provided by Q.A.R.N.N.S.

For her services during the Great War she was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire, and awarded the Royal Red Cross.
