Inf., 1st C. Ont. R. ‘For conspicuous gallantry opposite Cherisy on 1st September, 1918. He commanded his battalion with the greatest skill and ability, pushing resolutely forward in face of extreme machine-gun fire, and after a personal reconnaissance continuing his advance and capturing and consolidating a position some 6,000 yards in front of the jumping-off line. His courage and leadership were admirable.’ D.S.O. Second Award Bar London Gazette 8 March 1919; citation published 4 October 1919: Maj. (A./Lt.-Col.) John Pollands Girvan, M.C., 15th Bn., Can.

Crossing the canal on light bridges, and the River Agache by planks, under heavy machine-gun and sniping fire, he pushed on. He personally attacked and captured an enemy machine gun, shooting the gunner and turning the gun on the enemy. He went on and assisted in capturing Chapel Corner and the village of Marquion, and then gained his final objectives. His courage and dash were a fine example to his command.’ M.C. London Gazette 18 October 1917; citation published 7 March 1918: Capt. (A./Maj.) John Pollands Girvan, M.C., Canadian Inf. ‘For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. Throughout an attack he led his company with the greatest skill and courage, continually going forward into our own barrage at great personal risk in order to check men who were advancing too fast. He directed his men amidst the fiercest shelling, and it was due to his gallant personal example that hostile counter-attacks were fruitless. His reports were invaluable, and it was largely due to him that the enemy were held back from the captured ground.’ M.I.D. London Gazette 16 March 1916. French Croix de Guerre London Gazette 1 May 1917. John ‘Jack’ Pollands Girvan was born born on 28 November 1887, at Kingarth, Argyll and Bute, Scotland. In 1907, he became a clerk in the Civil Service. He was a fine athlete, winning numerous championships as a member of the Argonaut rowing club. He belonged to an active militia when he attested on 14 September 1914, at Valcartier, Quebec. During the Great War, he married Nursing Sister Jean Elizabeth Sword. Girvan sailed on 3 October 1914, with the first contingent, arriving in England on 16 October 1916. On 4 February 1915, the 15th Battalion battalion paraded in light marching order for ‘Inspection & Review’ by H.M. the Kin, followed by the March Past, at North Larkhill camp. The following week, they boarded S.S. Mount Temple, at Avonmouth, on 12 February 1915. After a very rough voyage with high seas, they arrived at St Nazaire, in France, on 15 February 1915. Two days later, they arrived at Hazebrouck in Belgium, moving into billets at Caestre the next day and into billets in Armentieres on 23 February 1915. The 15th Battalion entered the trenches for the first time on 24 February 1915, suffering their first casualty on the night of the 27th. They entered the trenches at Rue Petillon, on 6 March 1915, pulling out three days later. In April 1915, the Canadians moved to the Ypres area and took part in the battle of Kitchener’s Wood (Second Battle of Ypres). The 15th Battalion held the line against the German chlorine gas attack, but suffered heavy casualties. The battalion was at the apex of the Canadian position on 24 April. The 15th Battalion suffered the heaviest casualties of any Canadian unit, with over 647 casualties, being hit by the heaviest of the gas, and was overrun by the Germans. Girvan’s No. 1 Company, was on the extreme right flank of the Battalion’s three forward companies and was very lucky to have survived. In the battle of Festubert, on 15 May 1915, the battalion again suffered heavy casualties. Girvan was promoted to be Sergeant, in the field, ‘A’ Company, 15th Battalion, on 11 June 1915. He was appointed to Temporary Commission, and posted to 15th Battalion on 26 September 1915; granted 5 days leave, 17 October 1915; granted 7 days leave, 5 January 1916; to be Captain, 27 April 1916; granted leave of absence from 25 May to 2 June 1916. On 3 June 1916 the Battalion conducted the first Canadian counter-attack of the war against Observatory Ridge, in opening stages of the battle of Mount Sorrel, again suffering heavy casualties. Now a Major commanding No. 3 Company, he was wounded during the battle of Flers–Courcelette on 24 September 1916, by a bullet wound which penetrated his right chest at the sternum, and travelled down and lodged in abdominal muscle. He was admitted to 2nd Red Cross Hospital, Rouen, on 27 September 1916, and to Yorkhill War Hospital, Glasgow, on 1 October 1916. He was discharged on 18 October 1916, but was declared unfit for service for three months and granted leave to Canada, 21 October 1916 to 21 January 1917. Girvan returned to England in late March of 1917, and was appointed Acting Major on 28 April 1917. Then, awarded the Croix du Guerre, on 1 May 1917. Here he spent several months in Bramshott Camp, Hampshire, where his future wife Jean Sword was undergoing training at the camp hospital, and they undoubtedly spent some time together. Girvan returned back to France where, on 30 July 1917, he was indemnified for loss of kit. He was in command of No. 1 Company leading the forward assault of the 15th Battalion during the battle of Hill 70, and was awarded the Military Cross for this action in which the 15th Battalion assaulted and captured Puits 14 and Bois Hugo as part of the Canadian Corps assault on Hill 70 near Lens, France. The battalion was in the first wave of the assault on the Corps’ exposed and vital left flank. Having secured all their objectives on the morning of 15 August 1917, the battalion defended its position for a day and half against numerous German counter attacks until it was relieved and withdrawn from the line. Girvan was struck off the strength of the 15th Battalion to attend a Command Officers Course at Aldershot on 27 June 1918 for 8 w...

London Gazette 20 May 1898: ‘James Aylmer Lowthorpe Haldane, Captain, Gordon Highlanders. In recognition of services during the recent operations on the North-West Frontier of India.’ The insignia were presented to him by the Queen at Windsor on 25 June 1898. James Aylmer Lowthorpe Haldane was born on 17 November 1862, only son of the late D. Rutherford Haldane, M.D., and Mrs Haldane. He was educated at Edinburgh Academy and Wimbledon School, and passed with Honours, Royal Military College, Sandhurst, joining the Gordon Highlanders on 9 September 1882, as Lieutenant. He was Adjutant from 1 September 1888 to 31 January 1892, and became Captain on 8 April 1892. Captain Haldane served with the Waziristan Field Force in 1894-95, as Orderly Officer to Sir William Lockhart, Commanding the Force (Medal with Clasp). He served with the Chitral Relief Force under Sir Robert Low in 1895 with the 1st Battalion Gordon Highlanders (Medal with Clasp). He was A.D.C. to General Sir William Lockhart, 1896-99, and served in the campaign on the North West Frontier of India under Sir William Lockhart in 1897-98 with the Tirah Expeditionary Force as Deputy Assistant Adjutant Head Quarters Staff, and was present at the actions of Chagra Kotal and Dargai, and at the capture of the Sampagha and Arhanga Passes. Reconnaissance at and around Dwatoi and action of 24 November 1897. Operations against the Khani Khel Chamkanis. Operations in the Bara Valley 7 to 14 December 1897. Operations in the Bazar Valley 25 to 30 December 1897. He was mentioned in despatches (London Gazette 5 April 1898); received two Clasps to his India medal, and was created a Companion of the Distinguished Service Order. Haldane served in South Africa 1899-1902, with the 2nd Gordon Highlanders, taking part in the operations in Natal in 1899, including the action at Elandslaagte, where he was severely wounded. He was in command of the Chieveley Armoured Train on 15 November 1899, when it was ambushed by the Boers. The incident is chiefly remembered by the fact that Winston Churchill, who was present whilst serving as a newspaper correspondent for The Morning Post, was also taken Prisoner of War that day - his gallant conduct in action and daring escape from captivity captured the public’s imagination, propelled him into Parliament, and set him on the road to becoming Prime Minister. A full account of the incident is recorded in his Autobiography, My Early Life: ‘Nothing looks more formidable and impressive than an armoured train; but nothing is in fact more vulnerable and helpless. It was only necessary to blow up a bridge or culvert to leave the monster stranded, far from home and help, at the mercy of the enemy. This situation did not seem to have occurred to our commander. He decided to put a company of the Dublin Fusiliers and a company of the Durban Light Infantry into an armoured train of six trucks, and add a small six-pounder naval gun with some sailors landed from H.M.S. Terrible, together with a breakdown gang, and to send this considerable portion of his force out to reconnoitre towards Colenso. Captain Haldane was the officer he selected for the duty of commanding this operation. Haldane told me on the night of November 14 of the task which had been set him for the next day and on which he was to start at dawn. He did not conceal his misgivings on the imprudence of the enterprise, but he was of course, like everyone else at the beginning of a war, very keen upon adventure and a brush with the enemy. 'Would I come with him?' He would like it if I did! Out of comradeship, and because I thought it was my duty to gather as much information as I could for the Morning Post, also because I was eager for trouble, I accepted the invitation without demur. The military events which followed are well known and have often been discussed. The armoured train proceeded about fourteen miles towards the enemy and got as far as Chieveley station without a sign of opposition or indeed of life or movement on the broad undulations of the Natal landscape. We stopped for a few moments at Chieveley to report our arrival at this point by telegraph to the General. No sooner had we done this than we saw, on a hill between us and home which overlooked the line at about 600 yards distance, a number of small figures moving about and hurrying forward. Certainly they were Boers. Certainly they were behind us. What would they be doing with the railway line? There was not an instant to lose. We started immediately on our return journey. As we approached the hill, I was standing on a box with my head and shoulders above the steel plating of the rear armoured truck. I saw a cluster of Boers on the crest. Suddenly three wheeled things appeared among them, and instantly bright flashes of light opened and shut ten or twelve times. A huge white ball of smoke sprang into being and tore out into a cone, only as it seemed a few feet above my head. It was shrapnel - the first I had ever seen in war, and very nearly the last! The steel sides of the truck tanged with a patter of bullets. There was a crash from the front of the train, and a series of sharp explosions. The railway line curved round the base of the hill on a steep down gradient, and under the stimulus of the enemy’s fire, as well as of the slope, our pace increased enormously. The Boer artillery (two guns and a pom-pom) had only time for one discharge before we were round the corner out of their sight. It had flashed across my mind that there must be some trap farther on. I was just turning to Haldane to suggest that someone should scramble along the train and make the engine-driver reduce speed, when suddenly there was a tremendous shock, and he and I and all the soldiers in the truck were pitched head over heels on to its floor. The armoured train travelling at not less than forty miles an hour had been thrown off the metals by some obstruction, or by some injury to the line. In our truck no one was seriously hurt, and it took but a few seconds for me to scramble to my feet and look over the top of the armour. The train lay in a valley about 1,200 yards on the homeward side of the enemy’s hill. On the top of this hill were scores of figures running forward and throwing themselves down in the grass, from which there came almost immediately an accurate and heavy rifle fire. The bullets whistled overhead and rang and splattered on the steel plates like a hailstorm. I got down from my perch, and Haldane and I debated what to do. It was agreed that he with the little naval gun and his Dublin Fusiliers in the rear tru...

He was promoted to Captain on 15 April 1904, and served in East Africa, 1905, in command of a punitive expedition which successfully dealt with a revolt of the Kisii in the Kisumu (later Nyanza) Province (Despatches London Gazette 13 March, 1908: ‘For some time the Kisii tribe had been at loggerheads with the Kavirondo, the large tribe which lies between the Victoria Nyanza and the hill country of the Lumbwa and Nandi. The Kavirondo are under regular Government control and looked to the local administration to protect them from the Kisii, who had committed many murders on the border. As the Kisii refused to pay compensation to the Kavirondo for the murders they had committed or to acknowledge our authority His Majesty’s Commissioner decided to send a patrol into their country. The patrol under Captain E. V. Jenkins, D.S.O., 3rd King’s African Rifles, consisted of 4 Officer; 100 rifles, 3rd Battalion, King’s African Rifles; 50 rifles, East Africa Protectorate Police; 150 Masai Levies, with one Maxim gun. The Kisii country was entered on the 1st September, 1905, and thoroughly patrolled in all directions until the 9th October. On three occasions the Kisii attacked the patrol in force and with determination, but were beaten off with loss. The patrol accomplished its work satisfactorily with a cost of six men wounded.’ He afterwards served at Nandi, 1905-06 (Medal with two Clasps). He served in the European War as Captain and later Major in the 2nd Battalion, West Riding Regiment from 15 August 1914. He was promoted to Major on 1 September 1915, and was Assistant Embarkation Staff Officer, Southampton, from 5 February 1919.

Jean-Étienne Liotard (1702-1789) Portrait of Gaspard de Péleran (d. 1747 Smyrna [Izmir], Turkey), bust-length, wearing a navy blue coat with gold embroidered trim and white stock, circa 1738enamel on copper, oval4.5 x 3.8cmProvenance: By repute Italian family of noble descent, Biel, Switzerland, until circa 1980; Private collectionBest known for his delicate pastel drawings, Jean-Étienne Liotard (1702-1789) initially studied miniature and enamel painting in his native Geneva, producing his first dated work in enamel in 1722, before turning his attention to pastels. The present portrait is one of only approximately thirty known enamel miniatures by Liotard and thus a rare example of his mastery of the enamelling technique.The sitter, Gaspard de Péleran (d. 1747 Smyrna [Izmir], Turkey) was a diplomat and French consul in Smyrna between 1731 and his death in 1747. He was the son of Pierre Armand de Péleran, French consul in Aleppo, and his wife Anne Victoire Fornetti (b. Constantinople 1667-1747), daughter of Jean-Baptiste Fornetti (1618-1694) drogman – the official interpreter of the Ambassador at the Constantinople French legation. A red and black chalk drawing of this sitter by Liotard is at the Louvre (see illustration below), which shows him lounging on a Turkish divan and wearing a similar coat as seen in the present miniature, with an identical distinctive design of gold lace. This drawing along with its pendant of his wife, Marie Boyer (1710-1786), whom he had married in 1732, are amongst 30 drawings that Liotard executed during his stay in Turkey between 1738 and 1742.In 1738, Liotard embarked on an expedition to Constantinople upon the invitation of William, Lord Ponsonby, later 2nd Earl of Bessborough and John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich. They sailed from Naples on 3rd April 1738 and having passed by a number of Mediterranean islands, they stopped to spend a few weeks in Smyrna (today’s Izmir). It was almost certainly here, that Liotard would have encountered Gaspard de Péleran, who was the French consul there at the time, and who also appears to be Liotard’s first known sitter upon his arrival in the Ottoman lands. Following his stay in Smyrna, Liotard finally arrived at Constantinople in August 1738, where he settled for four years and painted numerous diplomats, wealthy merchants and locals. Intrigued by the native dress, Liotard himself adopted the custom of dressing as a Turk and grew a luxuriant beard, which earned him the nickname ‘The Turkish Painter’. Amongst his sitters in Constantinople was John Manners, Marquess of Granby (1721-1770) whose likeness Liotard captured both in pastel and in enamel. Alongside the present miniature of Péleran, the portrait of the Marquess of Granby is the only other known enamel from Liotard’s Turkish period.The present lot is being sold with a letter of authentication from the late Prof. Dr Marcel Roethlisberger, author of Liotard’s catalogue raisonné, published in 2008. Having examined this miniature in person in 2019, Prof. Dr Roethlisberger confirmed the attribution to Liotard and dated it to circa 1738, quite reasonably imagining it, like the Louvre drawing, was done whilst Liotard had stopped in Smyrna en route for Constantinople. If not actually painted in Smyrna, Roethlisberger postulated that it might have been done in Constantinople during Liotard’s time there as Péleran would not only at times have gone there from Smyrna to consult with his Ambassador to the Ottoman court, but almost certainly would have visited his widowed mother who died there, in the city where she was born, in 1747, five years after Liotard had left.Framed 4.8 x 4.1cm.
