Pair: Labourer B. Bust, a civilian employee of Messrs. Lucas & Aird who were contracted to construct the railway from Suakin to Berber, near Khartoum, a distance of 200 miles, although only 20 miles of track had been laid before the Army withdrew from the Suakin operations in May 1885 Egypt and Sudan 1882-89, undated reverse, 1 clasp, Suakin 1885 (Labourer. B. Bust); Khedive’s Star, dated 1884-6, unnamed as issued, extremely fine (2) £300-£400 --- Among the main objectives of the second British expedition to set foot in the eastern Sudan in 1885 was the construction of a railway line from Suakin to Berber. It was, to quote the historian Thomas Archer, an effort to ‘smash the Mahdi’ by means of the ‘latest resources of civilization.’ Indeed had all gone to plan, a 280-mile railway line would have been constructed, thereby securing the protection of the eastern Sudan. In the event, however, it proved to be an expensive red herring: as some had rightly observed from the outset, an exercise on this scale, in enemy territory, would have to involve round the clock protection for the civilian construction workers, and, with the difficult climate and terrain, a good deal of luck. The contract to carry out this monumental task was awarded to the British company Messrs. Lucas & Aird. In the official minute issued by the Government, the company was to construct ‘for the War Department for the purposes of the Expeditionary Force sent out to Suakin, and, according to the orders and under the control of the General Officer for the time being in command of the same force, a 4ft. 8.5ins. gauge single line of railway from Suakin, and thence in sections to so far towards Berber as may from time to time be ordered by the Secretary of State. The War Department engages to keep the way clear and the working-staff protected.’ The staff of Lucas & Aird were to be paid by the Government and their rations and clothes supplied by the War Department and, if an employee died as a result of enemy action, or the climate, his next of kin would be paid a gratuity equal to one year’s salary. Otherwise, the assorted navvies would receive a daily payment of 12 shillings, a small fortune for the day. And quite a sight they must have made, working alongside the military, in their bowler-hats. Certainly their language was colourful enough, an Army Padre who was billeted alongside one of their huts having his vocabulary ‘widened by the experience’ (Henry Keown-Boyd’s A Good Dusting refers). Yet, as predicted from the outset, their endeavours quickly attracted hostile interest from Osman Digma’s tribesmen. In fact, for the purposes of safety, while the military fought out such battles as that at Tofrek on 22 March 1885, Lucas & Aird were instructed to halt progress. By early April, work had recommenced but General Graham, still concerned for the safety of the navvies, ordered an advanced zeriba to be established five miles along the road to Handoub to cover the head of the railway, and a block-house and another zeriba to be built at Handoub itself, while covering parties were to protect the head of the railway as it advanced. Owing, however, to the growing heat, the difficulty confronted in obtaining water supplies, and the fact that many local tribesmen continued to act with hostility, progress was slow and painful, and by the time General Graham ordered a halt to the project, the railway line had advanced just 20 miles to the town of Otao; ultimately the British withdrew from the Sudan and the railway project was abandoned at a cost of £865,000 to the Government. Added to that cost was the distribution of the relevant campaign medal and clasp to the navvies of Lucas & Aird, the relevant roll (WO 100 68) revealing an extremely interesting and varied head count of 475 employees. In all the Company was represented by some 30 different types of employee, Blacksmiths, Boilermakers, Carpenters, Cashiers, Clerks, Cooks, Engine Drivers, Firemen, Foremen, Guards, Labourers, Pipelayers, Platelayers, Ropemakers, Roperunners, Storekeepers and Traffic Managers among them: and each and every Medal was duly engraved with the recipient’s relevant job title. The medal roll is dated 16 August 1887. Several locomotives built specially for this contract were subsequently put to work on the Chattenden & Upnor Railway in Kent. Sold with copied medal roll entry.

Three: Motor Engine Mechanician R. H. Lamb, Motor Transport Company, Royal Naval Division - one of 140 drivers and mechanics of the London General Omnibus Company who volunteered to accompany the 100 ‘B’ Type London Transport buses that the Admiralty had commandeered to take the men and equipment of the recently formed RND from the ports of Dunkirk and Ostend to Antwerp in September 1914 1914 Star, with copy clasp (150.S. Mechn. R. H. Lamb, M.T.R.N. Div.); British War and Victory Medals (R.M.A.150-S- Mech. R. H. Lamb.) nearly extremely fine, scarce (3) £500-£700 --- Approximately 56 1914 Stars and Clasps issued to the Motor Transport Company, Royal Naval Division. Robert Henry Lamb was born in West Ham, London on 27 October 1888 and attested for ‘P’ Company, Royal Marine Artillery on 29 September 1914, and was one of 140 drivers and mechanics of the London General Omnibus Company who volunteered to accompany the 100 ‘B’ Type London Transport buses that the Admiralty had commandeered to take the men and equipment of the recently formed RND from the ports of Dunkirk and Ostend to Antwerp. They drove their vehicles down to Dover or Southampton, stopping en route at Chatham or Eastney, where they were given a suit of uniform and a few articles of kit and then on to Dunkirk. Thus it was that the fleet of buses from the London General Omnibus Company began their wartime service and earned their unique place in the annals of war. The buses, which were decorated with garish advertisements just as they had left the London streets, and their drivers, wearing a mixture of civilian and military uniform, made a remarkable impression on the people of Flanders which was never forgotten. Similarly, their role in transporting troops was crucial in the early stages of the war, as was the part they played in the supplying of the Naval and Marine Brigades in Antwerp, along with the evacuation of the wounded. After the R.N.D. had returned to England, the unit was lent to the Army and proceeded initially to St Omer. From there it rendered particularly valuable service during the first battle of Ypres and, from then on, it was continuously employed in every aspect of troop transportation. In August 1915, it was eventually decided that the Army would take over the unit and incorporate it into the A.S.C. The Non Commissioned Officers and men of the RMA Motor Transport Company were given the option of discharge or transfer to the A.S.C. at the lower rate of pay; not surprisingly very few transferred. Lamb returned to London and was discharged from the R.M.A. on 1 September 1915. Sold with copied research.

The submarine departed on her final patrol on 6 August 1941 from Malta to patrol off Sicily to intercept an Italian convoy heading towards Libya. Her sister boat P-32, which was attacking the same convoy along with H.M.S. Unique, reported hearing a prolonged depth charge attack on 18 August and subsequently attempted unsuccessfully to contact P-33. P-32 was herself sunk later that day. P-33 became overdue on 20 August, having almost certainly been sunk during this attack. Dolan is commemorated on the Portsmouth Naval Memorial.

Royal National Lifeboat Institution, Sir William Hillary, bronze (E. Michael O. Williams - Voted 10th November 1971) with uniface ‘double dolphin’ suspension, good very fine £400-£500 --- R.N.L.I. Bronze Medal to John Gilbert Voctor Burns, Helmsman, Trearddur Bay Inshore Lifeboat, and to Edmund Michael Owen Williams, Crew Member, Trearddur Bay Inshore Lifeboat. Voted 10 November 1971: ‘2nd September 1971: In bad weather conditions with a south-west wind, a dinghy capsized about 50-100 yards south-west of Cod Rocks, Trearddur Bay, Holy Island, Anglesey. The D class inflatable lifeboat left Porth Diana by the Northern Channel and by the time the casualty was reached it had been righted only to capsize again. With both survivors clinging to it, the dinghy was drifting towards Cod Rocks. An attempt made to pull her clear of the surf was unsuccessful, so the lifeboat turned and picked up one man without difficulty then, in spite of heavy backwash, brought out the second.’ The following was reported in the Holyhead & Anglesey Mail, Friday, November 19, 1971: ‘Two members of the Trearddur Bay Inshore Rescue Boat have been awarded bronze medals of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. They are Helmsman Mr John Burns of Uwch Y Don, and Mr Edmund Michael Owen Williams of Trearddur Bay Road, both of Trearddur Bay. On September 2, Mr D. P. Pugh, of Newcastle-Under-Lyme, Staffs, reported that a G.P. dinghy had capsized west of Cod Rocks. At the time a force seven gale was blowing, with heavy seas and breaking rollers, and a big surge on and off the rocks. It was two hours flood, and at the time the seas were breaking well above high water mark. The Inshore Rescue Boat proceeded at full speed to the scene, and found that the dinghy was in a water-logged condition with the two men clinging to the gunwale. One quick attempt to take the dinghy in tow was made but conditions made it impossible to achieve that. John Burns, the Helmsman, shouted for the two men to get clear, and trying to gauge the seas and waves ran in for the innermost man. Mike Williams was able to grab him and haul him aboard. The second man by this time had been swept into the same position where the first man had been rescued and where there was a platter. As the second man was pulled aboard a huge wave came and all that could be seen was the sky over the bows and the platters exposed astern and below. At one stage the I.L.B. was so thrown about by the huge seas that the fan of the engine was damaged. Both men were landed safely. They were A. S. Penn of Stourbridge, Worcs., and J. A. L. Wright, of Cookham Dean. Berkshire. Lifeboat secretary, Mr Tudor Roberts, commented: “It was an excellent achievement, and only good seamanship and split second timing ensured success. Eye witnesses thought that the Inshore Rescue Boat was in danger of capsizing on two occasions, and more than once was completely airborne.” The presentation of the medals will be early next year by the Duke of Kent.’ The two awards for this incident are the only recorded awards to the Trearddur Bay Lifeboat. sold with copied research saved to CD.
