Mentioned in despatches of Sir Robert Sale, 30 October 1841 and 7 April 1842; and of Major-General Sir George Pollock, 9 September and 14 September, 1842.
Arthur Philip Savage Wilkinson was first commissioned into the 13th Light Infantry on 25 December 1822, and promoted to Lieutenant on 16 December 1824. He served with the 13th Light Infantry throughout the Burmese war, including the landing at Cheduba, storming the stockade, and capture of the island; affair at Kumaroot, storming of seven stockades at Kumaroot, attack and capture of Syriam, actions near Rangoon on the 1st, 5th, and 7th December, 1824; the storming of Kokein, where he was wounded and, in recognition of his gallantry, promoted to Lieutenant the following day; expedition to Bassein, and capture of Negrais, Bassein, and Lamina; actions at Sembike and Nadadee, storming of Melloon, and battle of Pagahm Mew.
Wilkinson next saw action at Ghuznee in Afghanistan in 1839, where a company of the 13th under his command succeeded in capturing the redoubt of the fort, took two enemy standards and captured sixty prisoners. He was promoted to Captain on 6 September 1839 and also served in the expedition to Girishk, the storming of the Khoord Cabool Pass, the affair of Tezeen, the forcing of the Jugdulluck Pass, on which occasion he was especially mentioned in despatches by Major-General Sir Robert Sale, and at the reduction of the Fort of Mamoo Khail.

In the general action and defeat of Akbar Khan before Jellalabad on 7th April 1842, command of the Centre column devolved on Captain Wilkinson after the fall of Colonel Dennie.

Important Notice Advance Bidding Facility
Please note that our easy-to-use advance bidding facility, which replaces the ‘old-fashioned’ commission bid system, provides all bidders with total control over their bids right up to the point that the lot is offered for sale.

Anyone with a valid email address can easily register to bid online.
There is no additional charge for online bidding and it is not necessary to pre-register a payment card in order to do so.
It is recommended that all bidders execute their own bids, either prior to the auction by using this facility or live as the auction is taking place.
Whilst we are still happy to execute all bids submitted in writing or by phone, fax or any other method, it should be noted that all bids left with us will be entered at our offices using the same bidding facility to which all our clients now have access. There is, therefore, no better way of ensuring the accuracy of your advance bids than to place them yourself online.
