Dermod O'Brien R.A. (1865 - 1945) "Fr. Jeremiah O'Donovan," a very fine oval half length Portrait, O.O.C., approx. 72cms x 64cms (28 1/2" x 25 1/4"), in original gilt frame. (1) Provenance: By direct family descent, to the present owner. Note: Jeremiah O'Donovan (1871-1942), priest and novelist, was a native of Kilkeel in Co. Down. Ordained for Clonfert diocese, he was appointed administrator of St Brendan's Cathedral,Loughrea. An enthusiastic advocate of temperance, self-help, and the Irish revival, he promoted his views in articles and lectures. With financial help from Edward Martyn, he set about redecorating Loughrea Cathedral with works by Irish artists such as Sarah Purser, John Hughes, and the Yeats sisters Elizabeth and Susan. Embittered by clashes with a new bishop, O'Donovan left Loughrea and eventually the priesthood, settling in London where he became Vice-Warden of Toynbee Hall, a Christian socialist educational centre in the East End. He changed his first name to Gerald, married and became the father of three children; in later years he had a long-lasting relationship with the novelist Rose Macaulay. O'Donovan's literary reputation rests on his novels, especially Father Ralph (1913), which deal trenchantly with the conflict between individual freedom and the narrowness of Irish Catholic life in his time. Dermod O'Brien (1865-1945) was born at Mount Trenchard House near Foynes in Co. Limerick; both his grandfathers - William Smith O'Brien and the first Lord Monteagle - are prominent figures in Irish national history. He is chiefly remembered for his landscapes and portraits, of which this depiction of a courageous if controversial Irishman is a fine example.

*U.S.A., Presidential Gold Life Saving Medal, 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.” 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 (LSARS 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. This lot offered with copied research, including the above article in full.

Serving in the Great War as a Corporal, he later transferred to the 2nd East Lancashire Regiment on 24 June 1917 and was promoted to Sergeant. He is mentioned in the Regimental History of the East Lancashire Regiment during the attack at Guyencourt on 26 May 1918: ‘…the company [‘C’] took part in the heavy fighting in the battle zone. According to Lieutenant Davies’ account the fighting in this zone continued for some considerable time…Lieutenant Davies was wounded and got away, but he mentions the Acting Company Sergeant-Major, Sergeant Ives, as behaving with great gallantry, being thrice wounded before he was taken to the first aid post where he was afterwards taken prisoner.’ He was reported P.o.W. the next day on 27 May 1918 and spent nearly 6 months interned as a Prisoner-of-War. He was then repatriated to Leith on 13 December 1918, whereupon he continued to serve, completing 8 years’ service prior to re-enlistment, which latterly took him to Jamaica in late 1921, Bermuda in 1922, Malta between 1923-25, and India as C.Q.M.S. between 1925-28.

M.C.: London Gazette, 18.07.1917: ‘For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He has done invaluable service in co-operating with the artillery. On one occasion he descended to 200 feet, and turned our guns on to parties of hostile troops. During the advance he was able to furnish much valuable information.’ U.S.A. Distinguished Service Medal, 09.07.1918: ‘for exceptionally meritorious and distinguished services to the Government of the United States, in a duty of great responsibility during World War I. Colonel Fowler rendered notable aid in planning the movements of the night bombing squads of the American Air Service. Later, appointed Air Service Commander of the 3rd Army, he assisted largely in the joint training of air and ground troops, at all times handling his troops well and establishing liaison between the air and ground forces.’ Colonel Harold Fowler (1886-1957) was born in Liverpool in 1886 to Anderson and Emily Fowler, of Ireland and England respectively, however he and his parents returned to New York during his early childhood. He was educated at Columbia University, where he was a popular student, and of the Varsity Football team. After working for a time on the New York Stock Exchange he was invited by Walter Hines Page, the US Ambassador to Great Britain, to become his personal Secretary. This appears to coincide with his recruitment into the U.S. Secret service, reputedly at the request of President Theodore Roosevelt in 1906. Upon the arrival of war in late 1914, he applied and was approved for special dispensation to join the British Army. In ‘The Life and Letters of Walter Hines Page’, his former colleague reported that he had been working as a sniper ‘in command of a three-inch sniping gun just back of the trenches’. In this vein, and as recorded in the book ‘Harold Fowler 1886-1957: A Remembrance’ by his wife Thyrza Fowler, he was later awarded the D.S.O. for singlehandedly creeping out into No Man’s Land to silence a troublesome German battery. Promoted to Lieutenant on 1 January 1916, he was seconded to the Royal Flying Corps for training as an Observer, being confirmed as a Flying Officer (Observer) on 19 April 1916. He served with 26 Squadron until November that year, before qualifying as a full Pilot, gaining his ‘Wings’ on 28 July 1917. He was promoted to Temporary Captain whilst with 2 Squadron, and was transferred as Flight Commander to 12 Squadron, equipped with BE2c’s. During this time Fowler, with his Observer Lt F E Brown, was credited with sending a Halberstadt Scout down in flames on 25 February 1917, and soon after engaged a German Albatros in aerial combat, but this ended in a stalemate. Soon after, he was awarded his M.C., along with his D.S.O. and C.M.G., all on one occasion, by King George V, whom he had met once prior to the war with Ambassador Page. Once the U.S.A. had joined the war on 6 April 1917, Fowler was granted permission to resign, with the rank of Honorary Lieutenant, and his experience was in much demand in the USAAS. He was wounded in action several times, at least twice severely, and was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal. According to a report in Time Magazine, he reputedly flew an aircraft under the Arc de Triomphe in Paris as the result of a bet made in the Café Montmartre on Armistice Night amongst French and American aces. In total, for his official and unofficial work as USAAS Liaison Officer to the RFC, he was awarded what is believed to be a unique combination of British, American, and other international awards and decorations. Judging by the style of manufacture of both his Russian Order of St Anne and Italian Al Valore Militare, it appears these awards were made during this same period. After the war, he alternated between banking work with the firm White, Weld & Co. and his secret work. In his personal life, he was a keen sportsman, big-game hunter and skilled equestrian, and he twice rode as Gentleman Rider in the Grand National at Aintree, each time on his own horse. In 1927, on Pop Ahead, and again in 1928 on Scotch Eagle, the assessments of contemporaneous pundits were sadly correct as, despite bold attempts, his horses failed to complete this most difficult of Steeple Chase courses. In the Second World War Fowler volunteered to interview commercial pilots in New York being considered for the Royal Canadian Air Force, and in 1941, he was granted an official role, being sent to Montreal and then to London. He reputedly was on board a bomber on the first raid on Berlin, presumably for intelligence reasons, and in 1942 he was given the honorary rank of Group Captain in his role as part of the Staff of the Commander of the RCAF. Later that year he was made a Colonel in the USAAF, was made Air Attaché to the US Embassy in London in 1942, and also gave intelligence advice regarding the North Africa and D-Day landings. He was involved in a plane crash in North Africa, and severely wounded with a broken right fibula, chipped ankle, dislocated shoulder and various severe cuts, but he still managed to drag both himself and the unconscious pilot from the burning wreckage. He returned home soon after D-Day, but had one final clandestine mission of two weeks’ duration. After the War he returned to ‘business’ and no doubt other clandestine work in New York before retiring with his wife to Palm Beach, Florida, where he died on 17 January, 1957. Fowler was a life-long friend of the celebrated author (and Great War spy) W. Somerset Maugham, who wrote that he was ‘a character out of our times… ...like one of those great adventurers of the reign of Elizabeth I. If he had been alive then he would have been a buddy of Drake and Raleigh… ...he had, of course, the courage of the devil.” Offered with a silver-framed and glazed portrait, c. 1942-4, a framed and glazed ‘Society of the Four Arts’ certificate and an original hardback copy of ‘Harold Fowler 1886-1957 : A Remembrance’, by Thyrza Fowler, signed by the author.
