(3) "The only full-length biography" Gough was first gazetted as a lieutenant in 1795, and posted to the 78th Highlanders at the Cape of Good Hope. Subsequent service with the 87th in the West Indies and in the Peninsular War, Talavera, Barossa, Tarifa, Vitoria, and Nivelle, where he was badly wounded. In 1837 he was "appointed to command the Mysore division of the Madras army. In the First Opium War Gough was sent to command the troops at Canton (Guangzhou) The forts defending Canton were captured on 26-7 May 1841, and Gough was made GCB. After the arrival of Admiral Sir William Parker in July, Gough commanded the troops in the combined operations which ended with the capture of the great fortified city of Chinkiang (Zhenjiang) and the signing of the treaty at Nanking (Nanjing) in 1842. For his part in these events Gough was created a baronet, and received the thanks of Parliament and of the East India Company. He returned to Madras, having been made presidency commander-in-chief on 16 June 1841, and on 11 August 1843 was appointed commander-in-chief in India" (ODNB). He led operations against the Sikhs in both the First and Second Anglo-Sikh Wars, obtaining victories at Mudki, Ferozeshahr, Sobraon, Ramnagar, and Chilianwala, but the terrible losses at this last were such that questions were asked about the competence of his command. Sir Charles Napier was sent out to replace him, "but before the change could take place Gough had re-established his reputation by his crushing defeat of the Sikh armies at Gujrat on 21 February 1849, followed by their unconditional surrender to the pursuing force under General Gilbert. He vacated the command on 7 May 1849." Gough is said to have commanded in more general actions than any other British officer of the nineteenth century except the Duke of Wellington, who described him as "affording the brightest example of the highest qualities of the British soldier." Bruce 1885.

INDIA - HODSON`S MEMOIRS OF SIKH WARS - Twelve Years of a Soldier`s Life in India, Extracts from the letters of the late Major W.S.R. Hodson, including a personal narrative of the Siege of Delhi and capture of the King and princes, Ed. by his brother Rev. George H. Hodson, 1859, second edition, 384pp, later cloth. Engraved portrait pasted on frontis. Extracts from letters covering Hodson`s service in the army of the East India Company from 1845 until his death at the Relief of Lucknow in 1858. Hodson served in the First Anglo-Sikh War at the battles of Moodkee, Ferozeshah, Sobraon, and occupation of Lahore in 1846. Active in the battle of Gujerat and the annexation of the Punjab in 1849. He was appointed adjutant of the corps of guides and after the outbreak of the Mutiny was commanded to raise a troop of irregular cavalry which was named after him. He participated in the recapture of Delhi in 1857 and was responsible for the capture of the King of Delhi and also three princes, the latter of whom he personally executed. Hodson`s career was controversial and he was accused of brutality and misappropriation of funds (hence the need for the vindication): Contemporaries of Hodson recorded (in their letters and memoirs) his abilities and qualities as a cavalry officer. General Hugh Gough said in his memoirs: `A finer or more gallant soldier never breathed. He had the true instincts of a leader of men; as a cavalry soldier he was perfection; a strong seat, a perfect swordsman, quick and intelligent`. A good copy of a scarce edition.

A Vienna porcelain plate painted with portrait of a girl 'Marguerite' and signed Wagner, in a blue and gilt border 24cm [please note the vendor informs us that this piece has been restored] Further Information There are no signs of repair to the plate itself and we believe the restoration is purely to the paint work. We were advised to put that it had been restored by the vendor when entering it into the sale, however they did not expand on this so cannot be 100% certain what has and hasn't been restored. The portrait looks to be in its original condition with no restoration taking place. The blue and gilt border however, appears to be some signs of restoration. Additional images are attached.

An Austrian pottery plaque with moulded and painted portrait of a lady in feathered hat 47cm Further Information The condition of this lot is very good in our opinion. There are several very small, minor chips to the paint but that is about all there is to comment on really. The gilding shows very little signs of wear. I cannot see any areas which suggest restoration has taken place. I have attached additional images of the points mentioned and some of the reverse so hopefully you can make a decision on the condition for yourself.
