*The Orders and Medals awarded to Sir Edward Henry Goschen, 2nd Baronet, who led a career of some distinction as a Diplomat, punctuated by a ten-month period of service in the Boer War with the 47th (Duke of Cambridge’s Own) Company, 13th (Irish) Imperial Yeomanry. Whilst serving as a Trooper, his regiment was surrounded and captured en masse and taken Prisoner of war during the ‘Lindley Disaster’ on 31 May 1900. Returning to the Diplomatic Service, he served with the Egyptian Finance Ministry during W.W.I., comprising: Queen’s South Africa, 1899-1902, 3rd type reverse, 3 clasps, Cape Colony, Orange Free State, Transvaal (14182 Tpr: E. H.

Italy, Order of the Crown (Officer): London Gazette: 01.07.1909 – ‘valuable services rendered’; Turkey, Order of the Medjidie (3rd Class): London Gazette: 15.09.1911 – ‘valuable services rendered’; Egypt, Order of the Nile (3rd Class): London Gazette: 29.12.1916 - ‘valuable services rendered’; Sir Edward Henry Goschen was born 9 March 1876 in Paris, France, the eldest son of the Right Honourable Sir William Goschen, who later became the British Ambassador to Berlin, serving during the outbreak of the Great War in 1914. Goschen was also the great-grandson of George Joachim Goschen, the famous publisher of Leipzig, and a grandson of William Henry Goschen, who founded the banking firm of Fruhling and Goschen in London in 1815. He was nephew of the first Viscount Goschen, who was Chancellor of the Exchequer, First Lord of the Admiralty, and Chancellor of the University of Oxford, and a first cousin of Sir Harry Goschen, Baronet, of Goschens and Cunliffe. Edward Goschen was educated at Eton, where he discovered a life-long love of cricket, and followed his father into the Diplomatic Service. In 1897 he was appointed an honorary attaché to the Embassy in Saint Petersburg, but upon the outbreak of the Boer War in South Africa he then volunteered for one years’ service as a Trooper with the 47th Company, 13th Imperial Yeomanry – a unit filled with men from the upper echelons of aristocratic society in Belfast and London, to the extent that it was labelled the ‘Millionaires Own’ amongst the home press. The 13th Imperial Yeomanry formed part of General Colville’s 9th Division, and it was during this time that Edward Goschen was taken prisoner during the ‘Lindley Disaster’. Here, the Battalion was ambushed and surrounded by a vastly superior Boer Force during the hours of darkness, and despite organising a firm defence the unit was not sufficiently equipped with food or supplies, and the 3 Boer Krupp guns inflicted many casualties. Faced with further casualties, and without assistance arriving, Colonel Basil Edward Spragge; the Commanding Officer, had no choice but to surrender at 2.00pm on 31 May 1900 – whereupon Goschen and the entire British force were captured and taken prisoner. In the process Captain Keith and sixteen other ranks were killed, Sir John Power and three men later died of their wounds, and four other officers and twenty-eight men were wounded. Fifteen officer’s and 367 men were captured unwounded bringing the total number of prisoners to more than 400. A photograph exists of Goschen as a prisoner of war, this being taken in a POW Camp standing in the centre of the image with a cap on his head. His photograph is identified as ‘E.H. Goschen, son of the (then) 1st Lord of the Admiralty’. Goschen was later released and discharged ‘at his own request’ on 11 December 1900, returning to the Diplomatic Service as Honorary Attaché at the Legation in Tangiers. After three years he was posted to Egypt as Private Secretary to Sir W.E. Garstin at the Ministry of Public Works, and in 1908 he joined the staff of the Egyptian Foreign Office, being later appointed Controller of the Secretariat in the Ministry of Finance, a post which he held for a long period. .For this service Goschen was appointed an Officer of the Order of the Crown of Italy in 1909, he was appointed by His Highness the Khedive of Egypt to receive the Order of the Medjidieh 2nd Class in 1911, and eventually received on the recommendation of His Highness the Sultan of Egypt the Order of the Nile 3rd Class 1916. His obituary in The Times records that ‘Goschen was a good looking man of great personal charm and a very kindly disposition. Socially he became extremely popular in Cairo, and was a good sportsman with a special affection for cricket.’ In May 1924 he succeeded to the Baronetcy on the death of his father, and three months afterwards he was admitted as a Partner in the well-known stockbroking firm of Joseph Sebag and Co., and he became one of the Trustees of the Stock Exchange Benevolent Fund. Goschen, who had married in 1908, Countess Marie Danneskjold Samsoe of Denmark, had two sons and two daughters. He died in 1933. Offered with a quantity of useful and detailed research.

*The WWI C.M.G. O.B.E. Group of 4 awarded to Captain John Wallace Ord Davidson, Chinese Labour Corps, who first went to China as a Student Interpreter at Canton, and after WWI service resumed his Foreign Office Career, later attaining the position of Consul-General in Shanghai in 1938, comprising: The Most Distinguished Order of St Michael and St George, Companion’s (C.M.G.) neck badge, by Garrard, in silver-gilt and enamels, with remnants of original case of issue; The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, Civil Division, Officer’s breast badge in silver-gilt; British War and Victory Medals (Capt. J. W. O. Davidson); Small chip to reverse enamel of first, the second well-polished with a few contact marks, small bruise to last, generally good very fine (4). C.M.G.: London Gazette: 23 June 1936 (H.M. Consul in China); O.B.E.: London Gazette: 3 July 1926 (Acting British Consul at Kiu Kang). John Wallace Ord Davidson was born in Shanghai, China in 1889, the son of George Greenshields Davidson, a Marine Engineer (born 1854 in Kirkinner), and Jane Egan Ord (born 1863 in Tynemouth). His parents had married in Shanghai, where both he and his elder brother William were born. The two brothers were sent to be educated as ‘boarders’ at Dumfries Academy, and then at Christ’s Hospital School in London, where John is shown as a 12-year old at the time of the 1901 census. Leaving school in July 1906, he applied as a Student Interpreter to join the Foreign Office Consular Service in China in July 1909, where he was one of 5 applicants accepted – coming in second place (by only a single mark), and joining in September that year. After the outbreak of war in late 1914 his brother William joined up as a Lance Corporal in the 1/14th (London Scottish) Battalion, London Regiment, but was tragically killed in action on 15 June 1915 in France. Two years later, it was logical that given his language skills and experience in China, John was made a Temporary Captain in the Chinese Labour Corps on 13 June 1917, and soon after served in France on the Western Front. The Chinese Labour Corps’ 96,000 volunteers (and a further 30,000 working for the French) made a vast and often misunderstood contribution to work unloading ships and trains, digging trenches, making roads and also repairing British tanks on the Western Front – becoming known as ‘the forgotten of the forgotten’. Often based close to the front lines, many were shot at or shelled, or gassed during service. Furthermore, they remained for some time after the Armistice on November 1918, continuing with the difficult and highly dangerous work of clearing live ordnance and exhuming bodies to be reburied elsewhere. Many of these men died en route from China, and a further 2,000 are themselves buried in Commonwealth War Graves – however some claim that as many as 20,000 died in total. Returning to the Consular Service in China after the war, he was made Vice-Consul in China on 1 December 1925, and was duly appointed as O.B.E. on 5 June 1926. He was promoted to Vice Consul 1st Grade on 14 December 1928, and then as full Consul on 25 January 1931. As part of his role there he helped to promote British trade and access to the Chinese market, and letters of appreciation from the firms ‘Butterfield & Swire’ and ‘Jardine Matheson and Company’ concerning the resumption of British shipping in Wanhsien after an exclusion incident in 1926 show that he had some success It would appear from these letters (offered herewith) that he played an important role at Chunking, and that subsequently General Chiang Kai Shek moved on the exclusion. He was made C.M.G. on 22 June 1936, and reached the position of Consul-General on 17 December 1938. During WW2 he was also behind the organisation of an ‘Old English Fair’ at the consulate in Hankow, which raised over £161 for the Lord Mayor’s National Air Raid Distress Fund in May 1941. He reached the ‘Sixth Grade’ in the Foreign Office in May 1947, but appears not to have served further. He died in 1973 in Holsworthy, Devon. Offered with matching set of four miniature awards, eight original warrants or award documents, higher education certificates, two photos relating to his brother, and a quantity of other related letters and documentation.
