*Black Soldiers in WWI. A group portrait of 54 Sappers and Royal Engineers, circa 1916, gelatin silver print photograph on original card mount, uncaptioned and unidentified, the photograph showing the face of a black sapper (4th row, 5th from left), photograph 11.5 x 16 cm, some spotting and a little soiling to mount The black soldier is believed to be William Stephen Palmer Tull (1882-1920), who served as Sapper No. 545340 in the Royal Engineers during the Great War. Research undertaken has not identified any other Afro-Caribbean in the Royal Engineers participating in this War. William was the eldest brother of Lieutenant Walter Daniel John Tull (1888-1918), a professional footballer who became the first British-born black army officer and the first black officer to lead white British troops into battle. He fought on the Somme in 1916 and became the first black combat officer in the British army, despite a military rule excluding black soldiers from exercising actual command. William was also a casualty of the Great War, dying at home in Folkestone, Kent, on 12 March 1920, from tuberculosis, probably an effect of the gas poisoning he sustained in the trenches on the Western Front.

J.9264 Able Seaman Arthur Frederick Fisher, DSM, Royal Navy was born in Market Harborough, Leicestershire in 1894, he joined the Royal Navy on 17 August 1917, served in various ships including HMS Marlborough from 2 June 1914 to 1 November 1920. He re-engaged for service during WWII on 7 September 1939. His service saw him taking part in two historical events, one being the evacuation of the Romanov family in 1919, the other the duel against the German raider Thor in 1940. HMS Marlborough. After the 1917 Russian Revolution members of the Imperial Russian family had fled to the relative safety of the Crimea, but nine months after the assassination of Tsar Nicholas II, his wife and five children, King George V ordered the Royal Navy to evacuate the Dowager Empress Marie Feodorovna (mother of Tsar Nicholas II and sister of Queen Alexandra), Grand Duke Nicholas and 15 other members of the Romanov family. On 7 April 1919 HMS Marlborough arrived in the Crimean city of Yalta. The voyage lasted 14 days, arriving in Malta on 21 April. An account of the presentation of the cigarette case included in this lot is recorded in the book Close of a Dynasty (1956) by Vice-Admiral Sir Francis Pridham K.B.E., C.B., who was in command during the voyage from Yalta to Malta: 'The day after the departure of the Dowager Empress Marie, Prince Youssoupoff and Admiral Viassemsky came on board to present, on behalf of Her Majesty and the Grand Dukes and others, £125 to be distributed to the thirty-five cooks and attendants who had, as they put it, so efficiently and cheerfully looked after the needs of the Imperial party It was decided not to present the whole sum in cash but to present each man with a cigarette case inscribed to commemorate the occasion.' HMS Alcantara was an armed merchant cruiser (ex-Royal Mail Line) commanded by Captain J.J.P. Ingham, R.N. who won a D.S.O. at Jutland. In January 1940 the Alcantara was sent to the South American coast where she was ordered to patrol the "Pernambuco Watch" and keep an eye on the island of Trinidad. In mid-July 1940, Naval intelligence were alerted that a German raider was due to arrive in the vicinity. On the morning of 27 July, the German raider Thor (commanded by Kapitan Otto Kahler) was spotted and this soon escalated into a ferocious duel. A shell burst over the Alcantara's quarter deck, killing the trainer of the P4 6-inch gun and knocking out the ship's wireless transmitter aerials. Another shell hit the deck causing considerable damage, two more then hitting the starboard side, tearing gaping holes. The Thor continued its attack leaving the Alcantara severely damaged but able to return fire, causing the Thor to flee. The Thor went on to become the most successful commerce raider of the war, claiming 22 victims. A total of 6 DSMs were awarded for this action, including one to Petty Officer W.C. Mudge which was sold at DNW on 13 December 2007 (Lot 77). (8)

Seaman John Deacon who has recently been home on leave to visit his parents, has had an adventurous career for a young man of not more than 25 years. Joining the navy when quite a boy, he was sufficiently advanced to take part in patrol work in the early days of the war, and then at the time of the Gallipoli adventure, he was ordered to the Dardenelles. He was one of the survivors when the Irresistible was sunk, having been in the water for over half an hour. He afterwards joined a landing party on the Gallipoli coast, and was wounded in one of his legs, directly he landed on the beach, but this was disregarded as a small scratch. He went on and was afterwards brought down with another wound in the other leg, but he managed to carry on until the mission for which his party landed was accomplished. Returning to Headquarters where he found that only he and another man had survived the Turkish fire. Seeing that the above was Deacons first holiday, it would be agreed that he had finally merited the same. A 1914/15 Star named to PO 2952 Pte A Rendall RMLI.
