WORLD WAR II – DUNKIRKAutograph letter signed ('Walter') to his father, Lt. Col. Charles Barnard Bonham, D.S.O. ('Dear Pop'), beginning 'During the last two days I have had command of a small private motor cruiser which I took over to France yesterday to run a ferry service for the evacuation of our troops. I was in a continuous air raid for five or six hours at the end of which the boat broke down, smashed, and full of splinter-holes...', describing how he helped rescue men who were '...in addition to being burnt to hell... almost dead from exposure and exhaustion. I had to cut the wet clothing off most of them...' and that he saved lives by '...stripping them, rubbing them all over till I sweated blood, and then wrapping them up in blankets with beer-bottles filled with hot water as hot water bottles...', how they had come down to Dover from Sheerness under machine gun fire and without charts ('...how on earth I hit the right spot is a mystery to me...'), going on '...After our first trip the destroyer I was alongside was dive-bombed and she went full ahead to get out of the way, smashing my boat with her rat-guard and breaking one of my crew's hands...', describing trouble with keeping the engine from overheating and manoeuvring the boat at the same time ('...went over to a burning ship hundreds of whose wounded were swimming around in the drink. Have you ever tried pulling a man on board a boat single-handed?... I got a dozen on board and then had to stop... the poor devils hung onto the back of the boat and got their clothes wrapped round the screws and rudder...'), finally getting back to the sloop and giving medical help to those on board ('...had a triple whisky in the wardroom...'), ending by expressing his relief at being back in Margate ('...we washed our rank bodies and shaved off two days beard... a tailor fitted me out with some plain clothes, and then went to sleep... three hours broken sleep in the last three days...') and asking for news of family, particularly his brother Harry, lying wounded in hospital; with envelope bearing pencilled reply in the hand of his father 'Your telegram received. Well done – Harry doing well. God Bless [scored through] proud of you. Bonham', 6 pages, on White Hart Hotel headed notepaper, 4to (255 x 207mm.), White Hart Hotel, Margate, 31 May 1940Footnotes:'THE POOR DEVILS... BURNT TO HELL... ALMOST DEAD FROM EXPOSURE & EXHAUSTION': A VIVID FIRST-HAND ACCOUNT OF THE EVACUATION OF DUNKIRK.Lieutenant Walter George Hugh Testoferatta Bonham (c.1920-1943), came from a long line of distinguished officers, being the son of Lt. Col. Charles Barnard Bonham, D.S.O. (1871-1943) of the Royal Engineers, to whom this letter is written, and grandson of Admiral Charles Wright Bonham (1817-1910), whose family papers are offered in this sale (see lot 15). This remarkable letter reveals the extraordinary bravery of just one of the many thousands of servicemen and civilians who risked their lives to rescue over 330,000 allied soldiers from the beaches and harbour of Dunkirk between 26 May and 4 June 1940, involving Navy destroyers, civilian merchant ships and, famously, a huge flotilla of 'little ships' of all kinds called into service. Just five months earlier, in December 1939, at the age of nineteen, Bonham had served on HMS Exeter, one of the three British cruisers that fought the German 'pocket battleship' the Graf Spey at the Battle of the River Plate. The ship was severely damaged and had to go in for repairs, allowing Bonham to return home. A press cutting included with the letter describes his hero's welcome in Penzance and gives his own account of the battle: 'No wonder Herr Hitler fears the British Navy...', the paper concludes. After surviving the Battle of the River Plate and Dunkirk, Lieutenant Bonham was killed in action in 1943. His service record as cadet and midshipman is also included in the lot. Bonham's brother Harry died of wounds received in action aboard HMS Fleetwood shortly after this letter in June 1940.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
