Posted to South Africa, he served during the Eighth Kaffir War from 1851 to 1853 in operations against Xhosa and Khoikhoi forces. The campaign later became regarded as one of the most bitter and brutal in the series of Xhosa wars, the tide turned by the successful deployment of British reinforcements via Cape Town, including drafts of the 12th Foot. Exchanged into the 95th (Derbyshire) Regiment of Foot 5 November 1854, Robertson was promoted Lieutenant (without purchase) on 9 February 1855, and joined the Regiment before Sebastopol from 26 January 1855 to 8 September 1855. His experiences during this time were later detailed in 1929 by Colonel H. C. Wylly, C.B., in Extracts from the History of the Sherwood Foresters, Notts & Derby. 95th Regiment, Volume 2: ‘Another officer of the 95th whose siege diary is available for reference, was Lieut. Robertson, who joined the Service Companies in January, 1855, and he gives the following figures: “The admissions for disease to hospital in December, 1854, amounted to 48 per cent of the strength present; in January, 1855, to 57 per cent, and the deaths exceed 8 per cent; in February, to 39 per cent; and in March to 37 per cent, and the deaths to 19 per cent of the strength present. This is accounted for by the men being, in the fullest sense of the word, ‘worn out’ by numerous and continuous hardships previously endured.”’ Robertson was later keen to point out the attachment of officers to other regiments for trench duty, such was the impact of disease and state of exhaustion in the British Army. On 23 February 1855, The Times published a letter from a Captain of the 95th, written on the second of that month, in which he adds: ‘The weather has been very severe and the Regiment has, I am sorry to say, suffered greatly; on some days we buried as many as five out of our thinned ranks. In fact we are now very nearly hors de combat... Another fortnight will, I fear, reduce us altogether.’ Briefly returned home to England on 18 June 1856, just a couple of months before his 25th birthday, Robertson landed in India with his Regiment on 1 November 1857. He served with the 95th Foot throughout the Mutiny, including the Siege and Capture of Kotah under Major-General Roberts, C.B., on 30 March 1858; early that morning three columns, each of 500 men, attempted to breach the town’s walls, the lead assault being led by Lieutenant-Colonel Raimes of the 95th Foot. The victory came via a clever flanking movement which resulted in the capture of 70 guns of various calibres and a gallant charge by the 8th Hussars. Major-General Roberts, in thanking the Brigade, was keen to note that he had been in field fights, he had been in storming parties, but he had never seen men go steadier: ‘It was more like men upon a parade, or on a field day, than men who were facing death.’ Advanced Captain by purchase on 16 December 1859, Robertson returned home and exchanged to the 2nd Battalion, 25th (King’s Own Scottish Borderers) Regiment of Foot by purchase on 18 May 1860. Confirmed upon the recipient’s Army Service Record as awarded the Turkish Order of Medjidie, he left the Army a short while later and does not appear in Hart’s Army List of 1865. Sold with copied Service Record and a small contemporary envelope containing original silk ribands for the full-size awards.

London Gazette 1 January 1943 M.I.D. London Gazette 22 March 1945: ‘In recognition of gallant and distinguished services in North West Europe.’ The original Recommendation for the French Croix de Guerre states: ‘This officer has been General Staff Officer First Class at 21 Army Group Headquarters since its formation. He is an extremely capable Staff Officer with a unique knowledge of staff duties and of the organisation of the Army. His services have been extremely valuable during the planning and execution of the operations for the liberation of France, and he has never failed to give off his best in spite of the pressure of work which has been acute during the period under a view.’ Leonard Ferguson Heard was born on 30 October 1903 and was educated at Shrewsbury School and the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich. He was commissioned Second Lieutenant in the Royal Engineers on 29 August 1923, and saw active service on the North West Frontier of India as a Staff Captain, R.E., attached Royal Bombay Sappers and Miners. Advanced Major on 29 August 1940, he saw further service during the Second World War, both in North Africa, for which services he was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire, and subsequently in command of 23rd Assault Group, Royal Engineers, in North West Europe, for which services he was Mentioned in Despatches and awarded the French Croix de Guerre with palm. Promoted Colonel in 1947, and Brigadier in 1949, Heard was appointed Aide-de-Camp to H.M. Queen Elizabeth II on 30 December 1953, relinquishing the appointment on his retirement on 21 April 1957. He was lucky to survive a train crash in 1959 when his car was struck by the Belfast to Londonderry express train at 65 miles per hour, whilst he was driving across an unmanned level crossing; the force of impact somersaulted the diesel engine off the track and derailed several carriages, but remarkably both he and all the passengers on the train survived virtually unscathed. He was subsequently sued by the Ulster Transport Authority. Advanced Honorary Major-General on the Retired List, he was appointed High Sheriff of County Londonderry for the year 1964, and also served as a Justice of the Peace. He died on 8 April 1976. Sold with a photographic image of the recipient, and copied research.

Only three ladies received the R.R.C. for services in hospital ships during the Boer War: Superintendent Miss M. C. Chadwick; Nursing Sister Miss H. Hogarth (both of the Princess of Wales); and Mrs. G. Cornwallis-West (of the privately funded Maine). The award of the Royal Red Cross itself for the Boer War is scarce, with just 77 awarded – one fewer than the number of Victoria Crosses awarded for the same campaign. R.R.C. London Gazette 26 June 1902: ‘Miss H. Hogarth, Army Nursing Service Reserve, Hospital Ship Princess of Wales.’ M.I.D. London Gazette 17 June 1902. Miss Helen Hogarth was one of just four nursing staff hand picked by H.R.H. Princess Christian to serve on the royal hospital ship Princess of Wales during the Boer War. Hospital Ship Princess of Wales Much of the history behind the creation of the Princess of Wales is well documented in the columns of The Times, Lord Wantage having corresponded with the newspaper in October 1899 about the creation of the Central British Red Cross Committee, including the Army Nursing Service Reserve, whose President was H.R.H. Princess Christian. In turn she became Honorary President of the newly formed Committee, out of which emerged the funding for a fully equipped hospital ship. The vessel in question, the well-known yachting steamer Midnight Sun, was chartered for the purpose and sent to the Armstrong works for the necessary alterations into a 200-bed hospital ship, ready to leave for South Africa by the end of November 1899. In addition to assisting with the cost of fitting the ship, Her Royal Highness spent more than £1,000 in luxuries and comforts for the sick and wounded soldiers and, at the express wish of the Central British Red Cross Committee, consented that the ship be called the Princess of Wales. In the company of her husband, she visited the ship at Tilbury Docks in late November, just before her departure for South Africa - painted white, the Princess of Wales had the Geneva Cross ‘standing out in bold relief on her side’. The Times continues: ‘The interior fittings have been swept away, commodious wards taking the place of dining room, music room, and so on, and the ship now represents a perfectly equipped floating hospital. There are three large wards, and one small one, the last being for officers, and altogether cots are provided for about 200 patients ... The operating room is on the lower deck, in the middle of the ship, and is fitted, not only with a cluster of electric lights showing right down on the operating table, but with the Rontgen rays, as well. Then there is a well-arranged dispensary and also an isolation ward. In addition to the wards already spoken of there are some private cabins available for sick and wounded officers. Three refrigerating rooms with a total capacity of 2,200 feet, have been arranged, in order to allow of an adequate supply of fresh meat being carried for the long voyage. The Principal Medical Officer will be Major Morgan, of the Royal Army Medical Corps, and he will have three assistants from the same corps. Of nursing sisters there will be four – one, who will superintend, from the Army Nursing Service, and three from the Army Nursing Service Reserve of the Central British Red Cross Committee. The three have been personally selected by Princess Christian, who has taken the greatest interest in the arrangements ... The nurses (Sisters Chadwick, Brebner, Hogarth, and Spooner), the staff and the men of the Royal Army Medical Corps who go out with the vessel were drawn up on deck as the Royal party came on board. Passing through commodious wards the Royal visitors entered the officers’ ward, into which the dining and music rooms have been converted, and inspected the numerous appliances provided for the relief of the patients ... To the personnel as well as to the vessel the Princess of Wales devoted much attention. Her Royal Highness presented to each nurse a distinguishing badge and addressed to them individually a few words of encouragement and approbation ... The Princess then proceeded along the line of R.A.M.C. men, 23 in number, and to each she handed a badge. To a similar number of the St. John Ambulance Brigade Her Royal Highness also gave badges and expressed special interest in this branch of the hospital staff, who, for the first time, are being sent abroad for service.’ Those services were much required by the time the Princess of Wales reached South Africa in the wake of ‘Black Week’ in December 1899, unprecedented British casualties having emerged from the battles of Magersfontein, Stormberg and Colenso. In all, the Princess of Wales made three voyages to South Africa and on each occasion that she berthed back at Southampton H.R.H. the Princess of Wales made private visits to the ship to meet the nursing staff and the sick and wounded. And the first such occasion was in February 1900, when she was cheered into port by nearly 500 men about to depart for South Africa in the Goorkha. The Times once more covered events in detail:
‘Then away to the Empress Dock close to the embarkation office where the Princess of Wales, formerly the Midnight Sun, was being slowly warped up to the quayside. Her bulwarks were lined with as healthy looking a lot of men in blue uniform as ever I saw, but one imagined that below there must be many worse cases. But it was comforting to find on asking Major Morgan, who was the R.A.M.C. surgeon in charge, that, as a matter of fact, there was only one man out of the 174 who was not on deck, and that he was carried on deck every day. In fact, the state in which the men arrived did every credit to Major Morgan and Miss Chadwick, the superintendent nursing sister, and to the nurses, female and male, who have been in charge of them. Of limbs lost there appeared to be but a small percentage, but of a sort of partial paralysis following upon a wound from a Mauser bullet there were a good many cases among these victims of Magersfontein and the Modder River ... ’ The Prince and Princess of Wales visited the officers, nursing staff and wounded men on board the ship the day after it had docked at Southampton, carrying out a ‘friendly inspection’ of each and every ward, The Times’ correspondent reporting that ‘there is not one of the 176 men on board the Princess of Wales who cannot boast that the wife of the Prince of Wales has spoken to him words of comfort and encouragement.’ On 14 April 1900, the Princess of Wales left Southampton for Table Bay, Cape Town, where she worked as a floating hospital until returning home with more wounded and invalids that July - as was the case before, H.R.H. the Princess of Wales inspected the ship and met all of the 170 casualties and the nursing staff, Major Morgan and the Nursing Sisters being presented to the Princess as she arrived on board. So, too, on her return from her third and final trip in December 1900, when H.R.H. the Princess of Wales was introduced to two particularly bad cases:
‘The cases that aroused the deepest sympathy of Her Royal Highness were those of two men named Stoney, of the Liverpool Regiment, and Dyer, of the Scots Guards. St...
