French Legion of Honour, Chevalier London Gazette 21 August 1919.
Edward Arthur Baring-Gould was born at St. Elmo, Chatanooga, Tennessee, United States of America on 28 November 1888, and was educated at Wellington College and the School of Mines at Frieburg, Germany. On the outbreak of the Great War he enlisted into the Honourable Artillery Company on 6 August 1914, and served with ‘B’ Battery, H.A.C. in Egypt and Aden from 21 April 1915. Commissioned Second Lieutenant in the Royal Engineers on 7 May 1916, he was posted to 177 Company, and served on the Staff of Headquarters of 14th Army Corps, June 1916 until February 1918, and then in a similar role with 11th Army Corps, February 1918 until the Armistice. Promoted Lieutenant and temporary Captain on 7 November 1917, he was awarded the Military Cross, and then served as a Staff Officer on the Inter-Allied Armistice Commission, November 1918 until March 1919. However, that was not the end of Baring-Gould’s War, for he was subsequently appointed to the Special Mission to Latvia and the Baltic States, March 1919 until February 1921, on the Staff of General Sir Hubert Gough, Commander of the British Military Mission to the Baltic States. Whilst serving in Finland, he was involved with the White Russian General Yudenitch’s bid for Petrograd; was awarded the Russian Orders of St. Anne Second Class and St. Stanislas Third Class with Swords; and was Mentioned in Despatches (London Gazette 3 February 1920). He also met Miss Dorothy Clarke, who was serving with the Paget mission as a Voluntary Aid Worker, and they subsequently married in at Merrow, Surrey on 19 June 1923. He relinquished his commission in March 1921.
Having spent most of the inter-War years as a Mining Engineer in Spain and Venezuela, Baring-Gould returned to England in 1935 and took over the running of the George Inn in Shipston-on-Stour. Following the outbreak of the Second World War he enlisted into the Royal Norfolk Regiment as a Private on 3 July 1940, and the following month was granted an emergency commission as a Lieutenant in the Intelligence Corps on 28 August 1940. He served as Intelligence Officer with No. 4 Intelligence School from September until November 1940, and then with the General Headquarters Home Forces and various regional Commands from November 1940 until August 1943. He served in North Africa and Italy with Military Government Organisation from September 1943 until March 1944, and then in North West Europe with the Civil Affairs Organisation from July 1944 until April 1945. Promoted acting Captain on 11 October 1941, and acting Major on 1 December 1943, he retired on 7 October 1945, and the following December was granted the rank of honorary Lieutenant-Colonel. He died in Ipswich, Suffolk, on 10 March 1970.
Sold together with a large quantity of copied research.
Note: At the time of the award of Baring-Gould’s Russian Orders, following the Bolshevik uprising, the production and supply of Russian Orders was severely disrupted, and consequently were often hard to obtain. As a result, White Russian Awards to British servicemen during the Allied Intervention throughout the period 1919-21 often show numismatic inconsistencies, as the insignia issued was that which was available, and is typically of a different Division, Class, or period of manufacture.
