He was in consequence present at the destruction of the French shipping in Aix Roads in April 1809 and had an opportunity of witnessing the capture of a large number of the enemy’s vessels, armed and otherwise. On leaving Emerald he was received on board the Tigre 74, Captain John Halliday, stationed in the Channel, where he remained until again placed in May 1813 under the order of Captain Maitland, at that time commanding the Goliath 74, on the coast of North America.

Drag.) fitted with original steel clip and straight bar suspension, edge bruising and contact marks, otherwise better than good fine (b) Crimea 1854-55, 2 clasps, Balaklava, Sebastopol (Pte. A. D.

W. E. Gardiner, 32nd Bn: Imp: Yeo:) all with good original ribbons, toned, good very fine (4) £8,000-£10,000 --- Alexander Gardiner was born at New Kilpatrick, Dunbarton, Scotland, circa 1794, and enlisted for the 2nd Dragoons at Glasgow on 25 January 1809, aged 15 years. Promoted to Corporal in April 1815, he served at Waterloo in Captain Poole’s Troop, and is noted in the various rolls as having been wounded. He was promoted to Sergeant in August 1818, and to Troop Sergeant-Major in January 1826. He was, however, reduced to Private from November 1829 until February 1830, when he was restored to the rank of Sergeant. He was discharged at Dalkeith on 5 May 1835, aged 41, intending to reside at Oswestry, Salop, where he died in June 1848. The local newspaper, Eddowes’s Journal and General Advertiser for Shropshire, and the Principality of Wales, carried a lengthy report on Wednesday 28 June covering the ‘Funeral of the late Sergeant-Major Gardiner, late of the Scots Greys.’ He was buried with full military honours, with an escort being provided by the North Shropshire Yeomanry. ‘The late Sergeant-Major,’ the report concluded, ‘served in the Greys twenty five years, was with that fine regiment at Waterloo, and has now three sons in its ranks, the eldest of whom is a corporal, and all respected by their commanding officers.’ Alexander Douglas Gardiner was born at Norwich, circa 1826, second son of Troop Sergeant-Major Alexander Gardiner, who was then stationed in that town. He enlisted into the 2nd Dragoons at Athlone on 14 April 1848, being recruited by his brother, Private James Gardiner, of the same regiment. He was, in fact, one of three brothers to follow into their father’s regiment, the now famous Scots Greys. Aged 22, he enlisted for a period of 12 years, but army life cannot have been to his immediate liking, if ever it was, as he had committed some misdemeanour before the year’s end that landed him in prison for a week. He was in trouble again in August 1851, this time serving a sentence of three months. Gardiner was so severely wounded at Balaklava that he was discharged from the army at Chatham on 23 October 1855, in consequence of being ‘disabled by amputation of left thigh at its centre after cannon shot wound received at Balaklava.’ Gardiner’s wound, which was reported in the London Gazette on 12 November 1854, and the circumstances of the occasion are of great interest in that his life was saved by Private Henry Ramage, who won the Victoria Cross on that day. His citation states: ‘At the battle of Balaklava, Pte. McPherson, of the 2nd Dragoons, was severely wounded and surrounded by seven Russians. Pte. Ramage rode to his help, cut his way through the enemy and saved his comrade’s life. On the same day, when the Heavy Brigade was covering the retreat of the Light Cavalry, Pte. Gardiner’s leg was shattered by a round shot, and he lay on the ground exposed to a very heavy cross-fire. Ramage dashed to his rescue and carried him to the rear, the place where he had fallen being almost immediately covered by Russian cavalry.’ Alexander D. Gardiner died at Warrington on 14 May 1879, aged 52 years. Wilfred Ernest Gardiner was born at St Paul’s, near Warrington, Lancashire, on 10 May 1872, the fifth child and second son of Alexander Douglas Gardiner. He volunteered for service with the Imperial Yeomanry in South Africa at Worsley on 6 January 1902. He served in South Africa with the 144th Company, 32nd Battalion, Imperial Yeomanry, from 7 May until 18 October 1902, just in time to witness the closing stages of the Boer War. He was discharged at Aldershot on 26 October 1902, at his own request after serving for only 294 days. He subsequently pursued a career as a Foreman Engineer, and died at Manchester on 29 April 1846, aged 73 years.

Here up to 8,000 tribesman (mainly from the Baezai clan) had constructed a series of strong sangars stretching for about one and a half miles along a line of low foothills. The right column made up of 1150 infantry drawn from six different corps included 300 men from the 1st Royal Warwickshire’s under the command of Major Westmorland. They prepared to advance up the slopes to the west, which were covered with flags and the sangars of the tribesmen who were clearly present in great strength along a front of one and a half miles. Anderson brought forward all of his infantry in line and prepared to attack. The action began at 07.00 and lasted until 10.20. Anderson's orders forbade him from doing anything more than driving the enemy to his right as the dominating feature, he ordered the men of the Warwickshire Regiment under Major Westmorland to seize the knoll and clear it. The general advance had not progressed very far when the tribesmen opened a heavy fire, the Royal Warwicks charged straight on their objective, the small hill, pushing parties up the slopes, then collecting together in an area of dead ground near the crest before rushing the summit with fixed bayonets and taking the hill. Eventually the position was won and the tribesmen fell back into the hills towards the Burjina Pass after having received - and given out - a fair degree of punishment.’ (Frontier and Overseas Expeditions from India refers).

An 18th century oak dresser base, the rectangular top above three central graduating drawers flanked by two single drawers and two cupboard doors raised on square feet. 203 cm wide, 44.5 cm deep, 85 cm high. (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: The dresser is generally in extremely good order. The top has bowed in places as you would expect with an older piece of furniture. There has also been a repair to the rear left-hand side, although this has matched in very well. The front of the dresser is a good uniform colour and has more than likely had some light restoration work. There is the odd mark, slight water ageing etc consummate with age. The right-hand cupboard internal floor has come loose but we appear to have all of the parts for this. There are signs generally of historic woodworm and the rear legs have some losses, although the piece does sit level. There is one key that will work both cupboard doors but not the drawer locks.
