For his services on the staff he was four times mentioned in despatches and awarded the D.S.O. and French Legion of Honour 5th Class, and granted the brevet of Lieutenant-Colonel. In 1919 he married Millicent, Duchess of Sutherland, the eldest daughter of the 4th Earl of Rosslyn and the widow of the 4th Duke of Sutherland, her first husband, and divorcee of her second husband, Brigadier-General Percy Desmond Fitzgerald. Millicent divorced Hawes in 1926 but remained friends. As such she wrote the preface to his book, Elegant Extracts, published in 1936, this being a series of letters exchanged between Hawes and Edmund Malone, a brother officer. In 1938 Hawes formed a close relationship with the young actor, Joseph Wise. A leather cigarette case is included in the lot inscribed 'Joseph'. In the book King of Fools, it relates that in 1920, the Prince of Wales, the future King Edward VIII, fell in love with Lady Rosemary Leverson-Gower, the youngest daughter of the Duchess of Sutherland by her first husband, the Duke. The Prince proposed marriage and was accepted but the King objected as it was felt that her mother’s action in divorcing Fitzgerald and marrying Hawes, who had been involved in a homosexual scandal, would be an unacceptable connection for the Royal Family. Ironically, marriage to a woman which could have saved the Royal Family and the nation from the anguish of the Prince’s later love, was thus rejected as unsuitable.

He received his D.S.O. for the Boer War in September 1901 for his input into Railway Construction.Swinton was appointed war correspondent on the Western Front by Lord Kitchener. Journalists were not allowed on the front and Swinton’s reports were censored which caused much controversy.Swinton is best known for the development of tanks. According to his book Eyewitness, he recounts how he first got the idea to build a tank on 19 October 1914 while driving in France having received a letter a few years earlier from his friend, mining engineer named Hugh F. Marriott. In his letter, Marriot described a machine he had seen in Antwerp, an American Holt Caterpillar Tractor. He suggested that the machine might be useful for transport. Swinton passed this information on to several military and political figures. Nothing more was done about it until war broke out Swinton suggested to Sir Maurice Hanky, Secretary of the Committee of Imperial Defence that the construction of a bulletproof, tracked vehicle could destroy enemy machine guns.In 1916 Swinton was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel and given responsibility for training the newly developed tanks. He created the first tactical instructions for armoured warfare. The Royal Commission on Awards to Inventors decided after the war that the inventors of the tank were Sir William Tritton and Major Gordon Wilson, however, Swinton was awarded £1000 for his contribution.In 1919 Swinton retired as Major General and served in the Civil Aviation department at the Air Ministry and a series of other posts throughout the 1920s including Citroen. He was Colonel Commandant of the Royal Tank Corps from 1934 to 1938.Swinton had two sons and a daughter who was tragically killed in a road accident involving a tank during WWII.

In January 1900, when serving as Third Officer in the P. & O’s S.S. Assaye, he won the Royal Humane Society’s Medal in bronze for attempting to save the life of a Private in the Hampshire Regiment who had fallen overboard in Cape Town harbour. He qualified for his Certificate of Competency in 1903 and was enrolled in the Royal Naval Reserve as a Lieutenant in 1907. He served in the cruiser H.M.S. Edgar, from June 1915 to May 1916 and saw active service in the Dardanelles. He subsequently commanded the Queen Victoria until the end of the War, gaining a mention in despatches in the Aegean for the period July to November 1918 (London Gazette 23 April 1919 refers). The recommendation states:‘He has rendered most valuable services as Senior Officer Net-Layers and Net-Repair Vessels and has carried out his work of net-laying and net-repairing with great skill and ability.’In June 1919, Townshend was assigned to special duties, and served as an Assistant Captain of Port / Harbour Master for six weeks at Constantinople, work that resulted in him receiving a favourable endorsement on his service record that August. He was awarded the Russian Order of St. Anne on 23 November 1920 (his service record refers) and received advancement to Commander in the following month.Placed on the Retired List in June 1922, he returned to his pre-war duties as a Master in the P. & O. Line, and won further accolades - namely the Greek Navy Medal - while in command of the Empress of India 1930-31:‘As regards the rescue of the greater part of the crew of the Greek steamer Theodoros Bulgaria in the Bay of Biscay by the Viceroy of India, under the command of Captain W. P. Townshend, the Greek Minister in London, in replying to a letter from the Guild, requests the Secretary convey to the Captain, and through him to those members of the crew who took part in the rescue work, an expression of his great appreciation of their ‘courageous and gallant action’ on this occasion. It will be remembered that the Viceroy of India picked up the S.O.S. of the Greek steamer and at once proceeded at full speed towards the position indicated. After eight hours of hard steaming through heavy seas, the liner reached the stricken ship. Captain Townshend deemed it advisable to use oil to break the force of the seas, and a lifeboat was eventually launched from the Viceroy of India under the command of the Third Officer, Mr. C. S. Cook. The distressed vessel was lying low in the water with a list of about 40 degrees, and with the sea sweeping over her. It was only with the greatest difficulty that 19 men were eventually hauled through the seas to the boat by means of a lifeline, and ultimately the remaining 13 men on board succeeded in lowering one of their lifeboats and safely reached the Viceroy of India (Lloyd’s List, 12 January 1931 refers).Townshend, who had been advanced to Captain, R.N.R. was placed on the Retired List in December 1925.Captain Townshend's full size medals (minus the Royal Humane Society medal were sold at DNW (now Noonan's) on 7 March 2007, lot 847.
