D.S.O. London Gazette 1 January 1918. M.I.D. London Gazettes 18 December 1917 and 27 December 1918. Charles Edward Lembcke was born Carlos Eduardo Lembcke in 1882 in Lima, Peru. The son of a Peruvian diplomat, he moved with his family to England in 1886 and was educated at Harrow. Wishing to join the British Army, he became a British subject on 24 July 1900 at the age of 18 and, having anglicised his name, was commissioned Second Lieutenant in the 4th (Militia) Battalion, Gloucestershire Regiment on 10 September. He served with them on St. Helena, guarding Boer prisoners at Deadwood Camp, and was promoted Lieutenant in the Militia in October 1901 (Q.S.A. with no clasp). Leaving St. Helena, he served on Malta from 28 November 1901, having been seconded for service with the royal Garrison Regiment. Appointed Lieutenant in the 6th Battalion, Lancashire Fusiliers on 3 June 1905, he was then placed in the Special Reserve of Officers, and was appointed Lieutenant, Regular Army in February 1908. Assigned to the Royal Fusiliers (City of London Regiment) Special Reserve in 1907, he was promoted to Captain in June 1911. A man of wide ranging interests, he had been elected a member of the Aero Club of the United Kingdom in 1909 and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society in 1912. In early 1914, while still a Captain in the 4th Battalion, Royal Fusiliers, Lembcke was granted special permission by the War Office to spend a shooting holiday in German South West Africa. Planning to hunt in Ovamboland, and push on into Angola before returning to England, he was still in the German colony when war was declared in Europe. Immediately arrested by the German authorities, he was accused of being a spy, which he probably was, and sentenced to be shot. But with South African forces invading from the south, he was moved to a jail in Windhoek and after eight and a half months in the common gaol on criminal rations, he was liberated by Brigadier General Brits’ South Africans on 8 July 1915. Lembcke’s unfortunate yet fascinating adventures during this period are told in some detail in his sworn statement to the subsequent Court of Enquiry on 21 July 1915 and in his letter written to the War Office in June 1919, in which he admits to his spying activities while in Africa. This letter was then forwarded to MI.2, suggesting that he was most likely working for the Intelligence Services. While in captivity, Lembcke had been appointed to a permanent commission in the Royal Northumberland Fusiliers in the rank of Acting Captain but, after his arrival back in England on 17 August 1915, he was quickly attached to the 2nd Battalion, Royal Scots Fusiliers and joined his new regiment in France on 5 September 1915. Promoted Temporary Major in October 1915, he served with his battalion on the first day of the Battle of the Somme as part of Lieutenant-General Congreve’s 30th Division on the extreme British right. On the 12 October 1916, the battalion also took part in a local attack in the Flers sector, finding the enemy well prepared, they failed to reach their first objective and the battalion’s casualties totalled 9 officers and 261 other ranks, Lembcke being wounded. He was wounded a second time on 14 November. On 28 December 1916, Lembcke was was appointed to the command of the 18th (Service) Battalion, Manchester Regiment (3rd Manchester Pals - Clerks’ and Warehousemen’s Battalion) with the rank of Temporary Lieutenant-Colonel. The battalion took part in fierce fighting in an attack on the German trenches North-West of Neuville-Vitasse on 18 May 1917, with 15 officers (including every company commander in the attack) and 346 other ranks either killed, wounded or missing. Losses on similar scale occurred on 31 July at Sanctuary Wood during the 3rd Battle of Ypres (Passchendaele) when the company attacked through the wood, securing their objectives east of Strirling Castle. Lembcke was hospitalised shortly afterwards and he relinquished command of the battalion on 12 December 1917. He was mentioned in despatches in the London Gazette on 18 December 1917 and awarded the D.S.O. on 1 January 1918, undoubtedly for his leadership of the Battalion at Sanctuary Wood. After being discharged from medical care, Lembcke was next appointed to take command of the 25th Battalion, Liverpool Regiment, taking part in the 2nd Battle of the Somme in August 1918 and the grand advance in Artois and Flanders during October and November, seeing particularly hard fighting on the Scheldt. On 14 December 1918, he took up an appointment as General Staff Officer 3rd Grade at the War Office and was promoted to Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel on 1 January 1919. He was again Mentioned In Despatches for his services with the 25th Liverpool, most likely for his ‘determination and endurance on the Scheldt displayed between 18 and 21 October’, for which he had received the appreciation of the Corps Commander. He was promoted to GSO 2 on 23 June 1919 and was made a permanent Lieutenant-Colonel on 5th November 1920, relinquishing his appointment at the War Office the same day. On 15th November 1920 he was sent to Spain with Sir Esme Howard (later 1st Baron Howard of Penrith), the new British Ambassador based in Madrid, as Military Attaché. While there he was presented with a Wilkinson sword inscribed inscribed ‘A nuestro camarada el Mayor Lembcke D.S.O. A mas contrarios mas bri...

Hills Jun., for Francis Barlow, and are to be sold by Chr. Wilkinson [et al], 1687Footnotes:FINELY BOUND BY 'BARLOW'S AESOP BINDER' FOR PRESENTATION: A PREVIOUSLY UNRECORDED LARGE PAPER COPY. 'From this bindery, active in the 1680s and 1690s, come three handsome presentation copies of Barlow's Aesop, two of them now in the British Library... [and] Pepys's copy at Magdalene College' (Howard M. Nixon, English Restoration Bindings, 1972, p.40). This fourth example can be attributed to the shop through comparison with the dedication copy to the Earl of Devonshire at Chatsworth, now in the British Library (Nixon, op. cit. no. 99 and plate 99). The combination of a floral and geometrical pattern is common to both bindings, and many of the same tools are used. The sides feature the same leafy tendrils and smaller ornamental and flower head tools, whilst the spines share two floral compartmental designs along with the superscript letter 's' in 'Barlow's'. The Cracherode copy in the British Library also features some of the same tools.Barlow's edition of Aesop, self-financed and illustrated, was first published in 1666, but most copies were destroyed when his shop, the Golden Eagle, was burned down in the Great Fire that year. The present second edition, considered the culmination of Barlow's work in book illustration, was the first to contain the 31 fine plates illustrating Aesop's life, and the quatrains by Aphra Behn which were engraved in place of Thomas Philpott's captions within the 110 illustrations. The present copy includes the so-called 'indecent' plate 17 which is often missing.Provenance: UK private collection.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

DICKENS (CHARLES)Two conjoint indentures, both signed ('Charles Dickens'), regarding no. 30 Grove Road, Wanstead ('...being on the south side of a certain new road called Grove Road...'), the first being a 'Lease of one semi-detached villa residence', the lease from 'Charles Dickens of Gadshill Place by Rochester in the County of Kent Esquire', Malcolm Douglas Crosbie and George Frederick Hudson 'mortgagees of the premises', on the one part, George Horatio Wilkinson of Wanstead, 'mortgager and owner in fee of the same premises', of the second part, to Edward James Willmott of West Street Triangle, Hackney, builder and lessee, to run for 94 years assigning a 'yearly rent of two pounds ten shillings by equal half yearly payments', requiring him to 'paint or cause to be painted twice over with good oil color & in a workmanlike manner once in every four years', and including a ground plan of the site; the second a 'Conveyance of land and premises' transferring from Dickens, Crosbie and Hudson, on payment to Willmott of £60, the property 'known as no. 30 Grove Road Wanstead' provided he maintain it as a private residence and not offer 'annoyance nuisance or damage of the said Charles Dickens...or tenants of their or any of their adjoining properties', on three sides of two skins of vellum, with dockets and titles on the fourth, two sets of duty-stamps and red wax seals, usual minor dust-staining and creasing, especially where folded and filed, each c.550 x 665mm., G.F. Hudson, Matthews & Co., Solicitors, 23 Bucklersbury, London, 30 October 1868 and 12 April 1869Footnotes:DICKENS INVESTS IN PROPERTY IN WANSTEAD. Dicken's signatures stand at the head of both these documents concerning the sale of the 'semi-detached villa residence' at no. 30 Grove Road, Wanstead. The first is signed in characteristic turquoise ink, without flourishes, the second in brown ink with the usual flourished underlining.From the 'Ennumeration of Deeds referred to' in the second document, it is clear that Dickens first acquired an interest in this property in 1860 and, from the terms of the lease, that he owned further land in the area. This is borne out by a similar indenture sold in these rooms, 24 March 2009, lot 133, also dated 1868/9 regarding property at no. 16 Grove Road. The other parties to this transaction were either builders or speculative developers: Wilmott had just finished a development of four houses in Westward Ho! the previous summer (see the town's History Group website); while Wilkinson is recorded as a timber merchant residing in Shoreditch near Wanstead, and was busy in the 1860's developing property in Hackney in partnership with Marmaduke Matthews, an auctioneer, who is also named in our deed (see Victoria County History Middlesex, Vol.10, 'Hackney: Homerton and Hackney Wick', edited by T.F.T. Barker, 1995, pp.51-50). Crosbie, Dickens's fellow mortgagee, is recorded as inheriting and selling property in Grove Street, Hackney, in 1840 (Access to Archives, Hackney Archives Department, small collections, M220 and 221).None of these characters feature in the records of Dickens's life, neither is it his usual solicitor who drew up these deeds. The question arises as to why Dickens should have employed Hudson & Co., rather than his friend and usual solicitor Frederic Ouvry, of Farrer Ouvry & Farrer, who not only handled Dickens's separation from his wife, but also his publishing contracts and property affairs (see the Sotheby's catalogue of Dickens's business papers, London, 15 July 1999, lots 160-187). Having purchased Gad's Hill Place in 1856, Dickens sold Tavistock House in September 1860, for 2000 guineas. Three months after this, on 12 November, we find him giving Wilkinson a mortgage for the speculative development in Wanstead. It has been suggested that the property in Grove Road may have been purchased with a view to giving a home to his mistress Ellen (Nelly) Ternan but the ownership of another property in the same road would imply that Dickens was investing in these speculative properties with a more business-led motive in mind. It is thought that Dickens gave readings at the Becontree Archery Assembly Rooms, now the Wanstead Quaker Burial Ground.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
