The Highly Important Great War and Fall of Hong Kong P.O.W. Group of 11 to Sir Mark Aitchison Young G.C.M.G., the 21st Governor and Commander-in-Chief of Hong Kong. Governor Young was finally advised by Major-General Christopher Maltby to sign Hong Kong’s surrender and capitulation, going in person to surrender at the Peninsula Hotel on 25 December 1941, a day known locally as ‘Black Christmas’. Young shared in the privations and abuse of his fellow P.O.W.s despite his high position, and returned to Hong Kong after the Japanese surrender to great fanfare. Soon after he made vigorous but ultimately unsuccessful attempts to reform and democratize politics in Hong Kong, devising the ‘Young Plan’ in 1946, comprising: The Most Distinguished Order of St Michael and St. George, Knight Grand Cross 1st Class Set of Insignia, comprising sash badge in silver-gilt and enamels, and breast star in silver, gilt and enamels, in original fitted case, by Garrard & Co. Ltd.; with collar chain, in silver gilt and enamels, also in original fitted case, by Garrard & Co. Ltd.; The Order of St. John of Jerusalem, Knight of Grace set of insignia, comprising neck badge, 53mm width, in silver and enamel, and breast star, 70mm width, in silver and enamel with brooch pin, neck ribbon and alternate uniform ribbon, in case of issue; The Order of St. John, officer’s breast badge, in silver;1914-15 Star (2. Lieut. M. A. Young. Rif. Brig.); British War and Victory Medals (Lieut. M. A. Young.); Jubilee Medal 1935; Coronation Medal, 1937; G.C.M.G. and O.S.J. sets separate, campaign group swing mounted on bar with reverse brooch pin, these with matching set of miniatures, medals lightly polished, very fine or better, orders generally extremely fine (11). C.M.G.: London Gazette: 03.06.1931 (Chief Secretary, Palestine); The Order of St. John, Officer: London Gazette: 24.06.1932; K.C.M.G.: London Gazette: 21.06.1940; The Order of St. John, Knight of Grace: London Gazette: 21.06.1940; G.C.M.G.: London Gazette: 01.01.1946 (Governor and Commander-in-Chief, Hong Kong). Sir Mark Aitchison Young, G.C.M.G. (1886-1974), was born on 30 June 1886, the son of Sir William Mackworth Young and Frances Mary Egerton, daughter of Sir Robert Eyles Egerton. His father had served as Resident of Mysore and Coorg, and then as Lieutenant-Governor the Punjab between 1897 and 1902, and both families were counted amongst the most distinguished families in Colonial India. Mark Aitchison Young was educated at Eton College and King’s College, Cambridge, entering the Colonial Office as an ‘Eastern Cadet’ on 4 October 1909, and subsequently taking up a post in the Ceylon Civil Service. He continued to work at the Colonial Secretary’s Office, Colombo, until the outbreak of WWI in August 1914, when he joined the Rifle Brigade, being commissioned as a Second Lieutenant on 13 June 1915. Serving on the Western Front in France and Flanders, he rose to the rank of Captain before returning to the Civil Service once the Great War had ended. His career continued on an impressive trajectory, first returning to Ceylon as Principal Assistant Colonial Secretary between 1923 and 1928, then serving as Colonial Secretary in Sierra Leone between 1928 and 1930. Between 1930 and 1933 he was Chief Secretary to the Government of the British Mandate of Palestine (for which he was made C.M.G.), later taking up his first Governorship in Barbados between 1933 and 1938, being appointed K.C.M.G. in 1934. He also served as part of the Government of Trinidad and Tobago, before serving again as Governor and Commander in Chief of the Tanganyika Territory between 1938 and 1941. Mark Young arrived in Hong Kong on 10 September 1941, and only weeks into his new role began making detailed plans to resist the attacking Japanese forces. Beginning on 8 December, the mainland areas of the New Territories and Kowloon were captured after 5 days of fighting, with Major-General Maltby’s combined British & Indian units of the Mainland Brigade (2nd Bn. Royal Scots; 5th/7th Bn. Rajput Regiment, 2nd/14th Bn. Punjab Regiment) forced back to the more readily-defensible Hong Kong Island. The first call to surrender was made by the Japanese commander Lieutenant-General Taikaishi Sakai on 13 December, but Young rejected it outright, calling upon Hong Kong’s defenders to “Fight On! Hold fast for King and Empire!” On 25 December the South China Morning Post had run the Governor’s Christmas message that very morning, showing still that the Governor had no intention of surrender: “In pride and admiration I send my greetings this Christmas Day to all those who are working so nobly and so well to sustain Hong Kong against the assault of the enemy. God bless you all in this, your finest hour.” At the same time, early that day, civilians, nurses and wounded soldiers were being killed and assaulted at St. Stephen’s College Hospital. Just hours later at 3.00pm, General Maltby was driven to Government House, in the hope of convincing the Governor to surrender, on the advice of his other fellow officers – each one at breaking point, and with water and communications now cut off. Calling a meeting with Maltby, Commander A. C. Collinson R.N., and two members of the civilian Defence Council, Governor Young heeded their advice and took the final decision to call a cease-fire at 3.15pm. Fearing further reprisals and civilian casualties, and under a chronic shortage of water, he gave the colony’s surrender to General Takashi Sakai at the Peninsula Hotel later that day, to the shock of the world, and despite Churchill’s call to fight to the very last. This, the first surrender of a British Crown Colony to invasion, became known as ‘Black Christmas’ in Hong Kong, as it braced itself for what would be a brutal 3 years and 8 months of Japanese rule. Despite his position, after two months incarceration in ‘Room 336’ of the Peninsula Hotel he spent some time in the POW camp in Stanley before being moved with other high-ranking officials (including Maltby) between further camps in Shanghai, Formosa (Taiwan), Japan, on the Mongolian border, and then to Mukden, Manchuria. Governor Young is known to have defended the rights of his fellow POWs on numerous occasions in the face of regular brutality, and shared in their privations and abusive treatment. He also once petitioned his fellow P.O.W.s to resist signing documents that they would never attempt to escape captivity. Various eye-witness P.O.W. accounts recall that Governor Young did not avoid the brutal treatment of his captors, regardless of his high position. Despite his suffering and that of those around him, he survived to see the Japanese surrender on 15 August 1945, and later took part in a number of war crimes tribunals concerning various Japanese officers and officials. Being much weakened through prolonged captivity, Governor Young was returned to Great Britain for a period of recovery before his official return to Hong Kong on 30 April 1946, where he was greeted by ‘one of the largest crowds ever to have been assembled’ by the waterfront on the Queen’s Pier (as recorded by the China Mail, 1 May 1946). This important and symbolic return to the colony’s British administration was well-received, but marked the final bow of Sir Mark Young’s eventful career. Despite his attempts to reform local politics through the self-titled ‘Young Plan’ of September 1946, which themselves were an attempt to democratise Hong Kong and to strengthen self-government for the long-term, these plans were eventually rejected for fear of communist infiltration and subversion. Governor Young was made G.C.M.G. that year in 1946, but was not otherwise recognised with any honours for his role as Governor of Hong Kong, despite his even handedness, his resilience, and his remarkable strength of character shown under the most trying of circumstances. He retired from the Colonial Office in 1947, and later died on 12 May 1974, at the age of 87.

The Unique ‘Mystery’ Victoria Cross and triple D.S.O. group of 11 awarded to Vice-Admiral Gordon Campbell, Royal Navy, the celebrated Q-Ships Captain and author of the best-selling My Mystery Ships, published in 1928. He was recommended for the Victoria Cross whilst Commander of H.M.S. Q5 or Farnborough, ‘for conspicuous gallantry, consummate coolness, and skill in command’ shown during the sinking of the German Submarine U.83 on 17 February 1917. Having deliberately steered his vessel into the path of a U-Boat torpedo, and having then drawn in the enemy submarine through the ruse of a ‘panic party’ as she slowly sank, after half an hour the guns of Q-5 finally opened fire at close quarters and sank the enemy vessel in ‘what may be regarded as the supreme test of naval discipline.’ Gordon Campbell later subsequently declined the potential award of a bar to his Victoria Cross (following nomination by his fellow officers) whilst Captain of H.M.S. Pargust, having successfully deployed the same tactics and having duly sunk UC.29 on 7 June 1917, comprising: Victoria Cross, suspension bar and reverse centre engraved ‘Comdr G. Campbell, D.S.O. Royal Navy. / 17. Feb. 1917.’; Distinguished Service Order, G.V.R., in silver-gilt and enamels, with 2 clasps, both privately engraved on their reverses with dates of award ‘June 7th 1917.’ and ‘Aug. 8th 1917.’; 1914-15 Star (Lt. Commr. G. Campbell, R.N.); British War and Victory Medals, 1914-1919 (Capt. G. Campbell.

V.C.); Coronation, 1953, unnamed; France, Légion d’Honneur, Officer’s breast badge in gold and enamels, with rosette on ribbon; France, Croix de Guerre, with palm, 1914-1918; Group court-mounted on bar with reverse brooch pin as worn by the recipient, in original navy-blue leather and gilt-embossed case by Gieves Ltd., Old Bond Street, London, minor marks from wearing and slight enamel loss to D.S.O. from court-mounting next to V.C., about extremely fine, a truly magnificent group (11). V.C.: London Gazette: 21 April 1917 – ‘In recognition of his conspicuous gallantry, consummate coolness, and skill in command of one of H.M. Ships in action’. (Original recommendation notes: ‘…when he sank a German submarine on 17th Feby. 1917. Although his ship had been torpedoed and was sinking whilst he allowed the enemy submarine to circle round until she came into a position where all guns would bear.’). D.S.O: London Gazette: 31 May 1916 – ‘for services in command of British submarines operating in the Baltic Sea’ (Original recommendation notes: ‘Success of the operation was due to the thorough organisation & good nerve with which it was carried out’ and ‘promoted to Commander’). Bar to D.S.O.: London Gazette: 20.07.1917 - ‘for services in action with enemy submarines’ (Original recommendation notes: ‘On the 7 June 1917 sank an enemy submarine by gun fire. He reserved fire for 35 minutes in order to ensure the complete destruction of the submarine, although his ship was crippled and unable to move. T. L. high commendation expressed to Cdr Campbell, officers and men, for the admirable discipline and courage shown by them in this encounter, which will stand high in the records of gallantry of the Royal Navy.’). Second Bar to D.S.O: London Gazette: 2 November 1917 - ‘for services in action with enemy submarines’ (Original recommendation notes: ‘T. L. admiration expressed to Capt. Campbell, Officers and Men under his orders of the magnificent discipline and gallantry displayed by them on 8 August 1917 in an action with an enemy submarine. H.M. The King has been pleased to state that “greater bravery than was shown by all Officers and Men on this occasion can hardly be conceived”. The action lasted over 3 hours and the Dunraven was torpedoed & eventually sunk, but all hands were saved by one of H.M. Ships.’). France, Legion d’Honneur, Officer: London Gazette: 25 January 1918. France, Croix de Guerre: London Gazette: 2 November 1917. Please see www.mortonandeden.com/pdfcats/90web.pdf , lot 194, for a biography of Campbell and account of his military service.

Austria, Imperial Austrian Military Order of Maria Theresa, Knight’s breast badge, awarded in 1800, in gold and enamels, with suspension loop, 41mm (including suspension) x 28.5mm width, tiny chips to lower reverse points of cross and reverse enamel at central wreath, very fine. This award was conferred upon the eight recipients of the 1794 Villers-en-Cauchies gold medals (see preceding lot) on 7 November 1800 following a change in the statutes of the Order of Maria Theresa, allowing its award to foreigners for the first time. Permission to wear was granted by King George III and announced in the London Gazette, 2 June 1801. Together with the award came the title of Baron in Austria, considered equivalent to the award of the Knight Bachelor in Britain and in Europe. As one of the terms of this award, the Villers-en-Cauchies medal was no longer supposed to be worn although it was to be retained by the recipients. Awarded to Major-General Sir William Keir Grant K.C.B., G.C.H., 6th Dragoon Guards, late 15th Light Dragoons, who became Colonel of the Royal Scots Greys. William Keir (later Keir Grant) was one of just eight Officers of the 15th Light Dragoons to receive the spectacular gold Ehrenmedaille für Englische Kavalleriste, expressly awarded by the Holy Roman Emperor, Francis II, for gallantry in saving him personally from capture by French forces at the Battle of Villers-en-Cauchies (which is variously spelled in historical records), near Cambrai, in 1794. As it so happened, Keir Grant was later to become the recipient of an equally rare honour – the Collar and insignia of the Order of the Lion and Sun of Persia - for commanding a major British military expedition to the ‘Pirate Coast’ on the south-eastern Persian Gulf. Having roundly defeated the enemy and pacified the pirate stronghold of Ras al-Khaimah, Keir Grant succeeded in securing an agreement with a number of important tribal leaders, leading to an historic Peace Treaty of 1820 which heralded local truces and the foundation of the Trucial Sheikhdoms as well as the abolition of the Slave Trade in the area. Modifications to the Treaty and a full revision many decades later, in 1892, contributed to an enhanced British presence in the Southern Gulf and important new relationships with the Trucial Sheikhdoms. A loose British Protectorate was to last until the gaining of their independence on 2 December 1970, in turn leading to the creation of the United Arab Emirates.

Collignon, fig. 382, pg.229), French gold mark to lower tie of ribbons in wreath, minor loss of green enamel in wreath and to two small jewels in crown, some flakes and cracks in enamel of cross, otherwise very fine and of very high quality. This award is not known to have appeared officially in the London Gazette, but probably relates to other services performed by Sir William Keir-Grant in later life. It has been directly associated with, and considered part of, his group since at least the 1930s. Awarded to Major-General Sir William Keir Grant K.C.B., G.C.H., 6th Dragoon Guards, late 15th Light Dragoons, who became Colonel of the Royal Scots Greys. William Keir (later Keir Grant) was one of just eight Officers of the 15th Light Dragoons to receive the spectacular gold Ehrenmedaille für Englische Kavalleriste, expressly awarded by the Holy Roman Emperor, Francis II, for gallantry in saving him personally from capture by French forces at the Battle of Villers-en-Cauchies (which is variously spelled in historical records), near Cambrai, in 1794.
