The Harvey-Kelly family were a landed family from Westmeath, Ireland, and Harvey St. George Hume Harvey-Kelly was born in 1880. He passed out from Sandhurst in 1899, following which he received his first commission as a Second Lieutenant (Unattached List) in the Indian Staff Corps on 17 January 1900, as shown in the original warrant included with the lot. Soon after he was made a 2nd Lieutenant with the 32nd Pioneer’s, and sent to join Younghusband’s Tibet campaign of 1903-05, where he was present at the action at Niani (also spelt Naini) on 26 June 1904, on the strategic main road leading to Gyantse. As recorded in his personal journal, the storming and subsequent capture of this heavily fortified monastery was his first experience of battle (‘My first show!’), and he wrote: “2 Coys 32nd were ordered to attack under B- [Colonel Herbert Ralph Brander, C.B.] skirmished around selected house + garden about 150 yds from the village, and as we approached on the other side the enemy opened fire. A row of 4 houses loopholed & barricaded doors + windows, nothing to be seen but puffs of smoke, and we in a ditch, open fields between us, firing at the loopholes…maxims chattering, 7 pounders banging. After a while the enemy fire died down and then ceased. ‘That’s all that then, said B-, if they know what’s good for them – they’ve bolted. I’m going to rush the house.’ which with a wild yell he proceeded to do. Up we jumped and followed him but no sooner had we shown ourselves than the enemy’s fire recommenced. They had been waiting for a better target. On we ran, one man down on my left, & so up to the first house. B- hammered on the door, so did the Sepoys, not a sound from within and no way of getting in. No signs of Tibetans, must have bolted. Gun cotton was left behind by order…Orders came from Colonel Hogge – 23rd will clear the houses, 32nd the garden in the middle of the village. The garden was a walled in enclosure – loopholed – gateway bricked up, and a clear run of 60 yards to reach it. B started giving orders to circle behind…we followed, not a sign of the enemy, our own shrapnel playing hell’s bells above our heads. B reached the gate and we had the bricks down, waiting to rush them. Another minute and we were in. Not a soul in the place. Having carried out our orders, there we sat in the shade of a tree and had tiffin…until it was time to march to Gyantse.” Harvey-Kelly also took part in the operations at and around the mountain fortress at Gyantse, between 5 May and 6 July 1904, and then during the march to Lhassa between 14 July and 3 August 1904. Afterwards he served in the 64th Pioneers between c. late 1904 and 1907, and then in North West Persia and Waziristan between September 1919 and May 1921 with the 2nd Battalion / 1st Madras Pioneers. He retired from service in the Indian Army in 1928, whereupon he joined the South Indian Railway as Executive Officer, Golden Rock Colony. He worked in this capacity until 9 October 1935, when he decided to leave India and return home, having been presented with the King’s Silver Jubilee medal at a Durbar in Trichinopoly just weeks before on 3 September 1935. He appears to have spent his retirement in Bedford, where his sons attended Bedford Modern School. He sons served with distinction in the Great War: Herbert Dunsterville Harvey-Kelly was a famous pilot - the first to land in France and the first RFC pilot to shoot down an enemy aircraft before being shot down in Bloody April and dying from wounds. Another son, Charles Hamilton Hume Harvey-Kelly, became a Lieutenant-Colonel in the Baluch Light Infantry, served as Military Attaché to Kabul, and won the D.S.O. This group offered with an original warrant, portrait photograph, an original copy of the ‘Farewell Address’ to Harvey-Kelly from the Golden Rock Colony, letter from the South Indian Railway Co. confirming his nomination for the King’s Silver Jubilee Medal 1935, and other related research.

*U.S.A., A Presidential Gold Life Saving Medal of Australian interest, engraved “TO J. HENDERSON of the Newcastle Volunteer Life-Saving Crew, in recognition of his heroic services in effecting the rescue, Sept. 27” 1909, of the Captain and his wife and the crew of the American schooner ALPENA.”, with reverse of suspension clasp and edge of medal marked ’22 Ct.; light hairlines and small surface grazes behind head and to neck of portrait, otherwise extremely fine. The wreck of the Alpena on 25 September 1909, off the coast of New South Wales, Australia, is described in detail in the article ‘Two Brave Italians’ by Paul Street (L.S.A.R.S. Journal No.57). The four-masted schooner Alpena was en route from Melbourne to Newcastle to collect a shipment of coal when it was hit by a very severe gale near ‘Nobbys’. In her attempt to make port with the help of the tug Levert, a squall parted the line between them, leaving her stranded. A pilot steamer, Ajax, under Captain Richard Page, then towed out the Newcastle lifeboat Victoria, under Coxswain Antonio Costa, to assist in saving the lives of the greatly endangered crew. First saving the life of the Captain’s wife, with some difficulty, the lifeboat was towed back to save the crew. Bringing 23 crew on board, the lifeboat was capsized twice by huge waves, throwing 20 of the 23 back into the water. From this, the lifeboat recovered 13 people, and the Ajax a further 6. For their efforts, some 14 Presidential Gold Lifesaving Medals were awarded to the lifesaving crews by President William Taft, including J Henderson, whose name is confirmed in the article. Rescue crew members later described this event as the worst night of their lives. Offered with copied research, including the above article in full. The medal was included previously in our auction of 27 June 2016 (lot 392) but is now re-offered due to default.

Circle of Martin Archer Shee, oil on canvas, portrait of a lady in bonnet. 86 cm x 71 cm, framed. CONDITION REPORT: We have not had the picture out of the frame. We cannot tell whether the picture has been re-lined. The canvas is nice and taut and we can see no evidence of any perishing. There does not appear to have been any overpainting to the portrait and there is no paint loss. There is some crackling of the paint on the hands, shoulder and face but none of this is in our opinion significant. The painting is not particularly dirty. The frame is in reasonable condition. It looks to have been repainted. There is a loss to the moulding at the bottom left hand corner. The frame is fairly modern.
