A Great War ‘Battle of the Somme’ M.M. group of three awarded to Lance-Corporal T. C. Hook, 2nd Regiment, South African Infantry, who skilfully constructed a machine-gun strong point under heavy enemy fire, and was subsequently killed in action on the Western Front on 9 April 1917 Military Medal, G.V.R. (746 Pte. T. C. Hook. 2/S.A. Inf: Bn:); British War and Bilingual Victory Medals (L/Cpl. T. C. Hook. 2nd S.A.I.) traces of adhesive to reverse of all, good very fine (3) £300-£400 --- M.M. London Gazette 22 January 1917. The original recommendation by Lieutenant-Colonel E. Christian, 2nd S.A.I., states: ‘In the attack on the Warlencourt Line on the afternoon of 12th October this man and another were the only two men unhit of A Company’s two Lewis Gun Teams. Private Hook picked up one undamaged Lewis Gun and continued to advance under very heavy fire. When the advance was brought to a standstill he placed his gun in a shell hole, collected several drums of ammunition and proceeded to dig himself in. By 8pm the gun was in a good emplacement and Private Hook had collected 40 drums of ammunition under a very heavy fire. During the night he, with the help of several men he had collected and directed, improved the gun emplacement into a very excellent strong point. His conduct in previous actions has always been excellent.’ Theodore Charles Hook was born in South Africa in 1889, the son of Charles William Frederick Hook of Wells, Norfolk, and Susanna Hook of Natal. He attested for the 2nd South African Infantry at Potchefstroom on 19 August 1915 and was wounded in action at Mersa Matruh on 23 January 1916. Disembarked at Marseilles on 20 April 1916, he suffered from ulcers and boils in the early summer of 1916 and was discharged to duty on the Western Front on 4 July 1916, joining the Regiment in the opening days of the Battle of the Somme. Hook survived the bitter fighting around Delville Wood and was later recommended for the Military Medal on 18 October 1916. Remaining on the Western Front, he was killed in action on 9 April 1917. Aged 28 years, he is buried at Pont-Du-Jour Military Cemetery, Athies, France. Sold with copied service record and recommendation, colour photographs of the recipient’s grave, and a photograph of Hook in uniform bearing the riband of the M.M.
Lot 323
The Waterloo Medal awarded to ‘Hougoumont Defender’ Private E. Wharton, 2nd Battalion, 3rd Foot Guards Waterloo 1815 (Edw. Wharton, 2nd Batt. 3rd Reg. Guards.) fitted with original (?) steel clip and split ring suspension, good very fine £2,600-£3,000 --- Edward Wharton enlisted into the 2nd Battalion of the Third Foot Guards on 18 December 1813, whilst ‘on service’. The battalion had embarked at London for Holland in that same month as part of Sit Thomas Graham’s force and were in action against the French at Bergen-op-Zoom in March 1814. Following Napoleon’s abdication the regiment moved to Brussels, where it remained until his escape from exile, taking part in the Waterloo campaign, fighting at Quatre Bras on 16 June and at Waterloo two days later. Wharton was a member of Lieutenant-Colonel William Master’s Light Company and was thus a Hougoumont defender, in company with the light companies of the First Foot Guards and the Coldstream Guards, the whole being under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel James Macdonnell of the Coldstreamers. The 2/3rd Foot Guards, in Lieutenant-Colonel Master’s absence, was commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Dashwood at both Quatre Bras and Waterloo. At Waterloo these three light companies were allotted the inside defence of the chateau of Hougoumont. Throughout the day the defenders frustrated the attacks by more than 30,000 Frenchmen who failed to take the position, moving Wellington to record in his despatch of the next day that the occupation of the chateau ‘was maintained throughout with the utmost gallantry by those brave troops notwithstanding the repeated efforts of large bodies of the enemy to obtain possession of it.’ Specifically, Sergeants MacGreggor and Aston of the 3rd Foot Guards helped to close the gates, Captain Evelyn was wounded, and Privates Brooker, Clay (who wrote a narrative of these events) and Gann are recorded in various histories. Wharton returned to London with the battalion in January 1816, but is not found on any muster rolls after 24 June 1816. On those where he is named, he is clearly shown as a ‘Waterloo man’ and confirmed on the roll as part of Lieutenant-Colonel Master’s Company. Sold with copied research.
Lot 433
Pair: Police Constable J. Rose, Metropolitan Police, who was one of 24 policemen who ‘repelled all borders’ against 400 rioting Canadian servicemen during the Epsom Police Station Siege of 1919 Coronation 1911, Metropolitan Police (P.C., J. Rose.); Jubilee 1935 (P.C. J. Rose) last with privately engraved naming, mounted for display, nearly extremely fine (2) £300-£400 --- Police Constable J. Rose served with the Metropolitan Police, and was present during the Epsom Police Station Siege of June 1919. He was one of the officers present on parade when Lord Roseberry formally presented inscribed watches or medallions to officers involved in the Epsom Siege, 14 January 1920. He is pictured as such in an article (a copy of which is included with the lot), which gives the following: ‘Epsom Police Station Siege, 1919 Riot by Canadian soldiers in which a policeman was killed. On 17 June 1919, Major Bird, commanding the Canadian Army Convalescent Centre at Woodcote Park, telephoned Epsom Police Station to warn the duty officer that about 300 men had gone into the town for the evening, something that had caused friction with local residents in the past. Between 9.00 and 9.30pm, police were called to the Rifleman pub [still in business today] in East Street, Epsom, where they ejected Canadian servicemen who were causing a disturbance and arrested Private McDonald of the Canadian Army Service Corps. As four constables took him back to the police station on Ashley Road, Driver Veinotte tried to intervene, so they arrested him, too. About 20 Canadians followed them, threatening to release the prisoners, but they dispersed after some argument. Inspector Pawley locked the man in the cells which were in a yard beside the very attractive police station, a two-storey Victorian country villa with a railed front garden, and held men from the day shift in the station to reinforce the night shift in case of trouble. After an hour’s peace and quiet, a bugle call sounding ‘Assembly’ was heard, and a lot of shouting ensued. Inspector Pawley telephoned Woodcote Park, asking Major Bird to send forces to collect the prisoners. He also telephoned surrounding Divisions asking for strong police reinforcements. Major Ross from Woodcote Park arrived on the scene and found about 400 men, mostly armed with sticks and fence palings, shouting a demand for the prisoner’s release. A small cordon of police officers stood in front of the building. Major Ross told the men to go home, and said he would take charged of McDonald and Veinotte. The rioting soldiers ignored him, and started throwing stones at the police station windows. Ross and the police retreated into the station, whereupon the mob battered down the garden railings and smashed every pane of glass in the front of the building. As a few reinforcements arrived, climbing over garden walls and entering furtively through the rear of the building, Major Ross was smuggled out by the same way. By now some of the soldiers had forced their way into the side yard and jemmied open a cell door to release one of the prisoners. After a consultation with Station Sergeant Thomas Green (V87, Warrant No. 80417), Pawley led the 15 officers under his command out in a baton charge. They cleared the garden but were forced back by weight of numbers on the street, and retreated into the station again. When they were inside, they realised that Sergeant Green (who was wearing civilian clothes) was no longer with them. He had been struck down by a heavy blow across the head. Some of the Canadians moved him into a nearby house, and from there he was sent on to Dorking Road Infirmary, where he died early the following morning. Major Ross now returned to the station and made it clear to the men that he would take charge of the prisoners. A bugle sounded again, and the rioters withdrew. The whole affair had lasted about an hour, and well after it was over, 100 police reinforcements arrived from Surbiton and Wandsworth on bicycles. Nine men were arrested to be put on trial for riot and manslaughter. In the event, no evidence was brought against two who were able to prove that their presence in Epsom was nothing to do with drinking and rioting. Bugler Todd, who was believed to have started and finished the affray with his signals, succeeded in persuading the court that he had only sounded ‘fall in’ on Major Ross’s request. A military policeman called McAllan was acquitted after testifying that he had been leaving as soon as he saw the nature of the disturbance, but was hit over the head. The other five were convicted of riot but cleared of manslaughter and imprisoned for a year. Epsom was declared out of bounds to Canadian troops, and the Canadian Red Cross made one of the first large donations to the fund set up for Sergeant Green’s widow. The 24 police officers [including Police Constable Rose] who had held the fort were rewarded with gold watches and chains presented by Lord Rosebery (a resident of the Division). Hundreds of policemen from all over London came to Sergeant Green’s funeral. He had been a very popular man, with 24 years’ service and the expectation of retiring the following year. More than 1,000 people lined the route to pay their respects. In 1929, Allan McMaster, who had been one of the five imprisoned rioters, was arrested by the police in Winnipeg and confessed that he had killed Green, hitting him over the head with an iron bar wrenched from a cell window. Winnipeg cabled the information to Scotland Yard, but since McMaster had already been tried and acquitted of Green’s manslaughter, there was no action that could be taken. He died in 1939.’
Lot 103
Pair: Bombardier W. Dempsey, Royal Field Artillery, accompanied by a superb hand-written diary detailing his service in South Africa from 2 October 1899 to 13 March 1901, including the Battles of Elandslaagte and Lombard’s Kop, and his experiences during the Siege of Ladysmith Queen’s South Africa 1899-1902, 4 clasps, Elandslaagte, Defence of Ladysmith, Laing’s Nek, Belfast (64237 Bmbr. W. Dempsey. R.F.A.); King’s South Africa 1901-02, 2 clasps, South Africa 1901, South Africa 1902 (64237 Bmbr. W. Dempsey. R.F.A.) extremely fine (2) £240-£280 --- William Dempsey was ordered to mobilise at Secunderabad with 23rd Battery, Royal Field Artillery on 9 September 1899. Leaving Bombay on 18 September 1899, he steamed to Durban per S.S. Lalpoora, his unit strength recorded as 5 Officers, 172 N.C.O.’s and men, 152 horses and 1 Assistant Surgeon. Transferred to 21st Battery, Dempsey was sent to Ladysmith (’Tin Town’) on 4 October 1899 and stood to arms on 17 October. Sent to camp at Klip River, his diary subsequently offers a fascinating 3 page first-hand account of The Battle of Elandslaagte, which he annotates ‘1st Battle’: ‘The 21st and 42nd Batteries under the Command of Major Blewett, 21st B. R.F.A., wheeled sharp to their right, & crossing the railway advanced at a brisk trot in an easterly direction - after an advance of nearly 2 miles they passed the Gordons who were in support... Advancing over the hill, the 21st Battery had several casualties, the gun teams had given up one after the other, the horses being utterly done up by this sharp advance... A shell from the enemy struck the ground close to No. 5 gun damaging the wheel and severely wounding Gunners Smith & Pound. On coming into action the difficulty was to locate the guns firing at the Battery owing to them being skilfully placed & firing cordite, however these were silenced very soon after being located.’ The diary adds: ‘Seeing that a largish party of the Boers were on the open ground on our right front & seemed to be disputing it with our infantry, ordered fire to be turned on them. This was done with effect that the Boers retired precipitately leaving the Manchester Regiment free to advance, carrying out this Captain Campbell was hit by a rifle bullet in the right breast... command now devolved on Lieut. Manley.’ Returned to Ladysmith 22 October 1899, Dempsey received a ‘good reception’ upon entering the town and enjoyed a week of rest. This proved short lived. Engaged at the Battle of Lombard’s Kop, he was tasked with shelling Pepworth Hill: ‘Speedily silenced all the enemy’s guns on it - Bombardier Morgan, 21st Battery, R.F.A., was killed by a shrapnel bullet & Gunner Andrews was severely wounded in the ankle. Meanwhile, the enemy showing in full on our right.’ Remaining in action throughout the day, the 21st Battery expended 546 rounds; the following day witnessed a ‘truce’ for the burial of the dead and removal of the wounded. The Siege of Ladysmith The Siege of Ladysmith proved to be one of the most protracted engagements of the entire Boer War. Recording the safe passage of ‘the last train’ [to get through] on 2 November 1899, Dempsey’s ensuing 28 page account of the Siege offers a daily insight into the military actions, the weather, the food (for men and horses) and the morale of all within the town. The entry of 18 December 1899, states: ‘A very bad shell burst in lines of Natal Carbineers close by 21 Battery, killing 5 of them & one man R.E. & 13 horses & wounding Captain Campbell’s 21st B. R.F.A. charger which had to be destroyed.’ Placed on half-rations on 12 January 1900, Dempsey was keen to note: ‘fresh meat very bad’. The following day: ‘horses beginning to die very fast from diarrhoea owing to bad diet, Bulwana Bill devoted most of his messages to the lower end of town and convent’. Describing the 100th day of the Siege, Dempsey pencilled that it wasn’t just the horses dying of dysentery and starvation: ‘Men are falling away fast, medicines are falling short.’ Reduced to eating horse flesh on 25 February 1900, salvation finally came three days later in the form of the relief column under Major Hubert Gough: ‘Long last, relief was at hand - no words can adequately describe the situation, our men’s spirits went up to the highest pitch imaginable and the evening of the last day of February, the 119th of our long siege, ended in such mirth & laughter as had not been witnessed in Ladysmith for many a long day.’ Remaining with the Colours, Dempsey witnessed a number of further actions - all detailed in the diary - before being sent to Middelburg in March 1901. His entries end on 13 March 1901, the medal rolls confirming service with 21st Battery but further noting forfeiture of the K.S.A. Medal under Article 1255 R.W.; this was later restored to him under Para 383/1915. Sold with the recipient’s original A4-sized unpublished hardback diary, 159 pages of entries, exterior boards and spine a little tatty and worn, the ink and pencil contents fresh and fully legible.

He served with the 3rd Battalion in India from 24 January 1895, and died of disease at Bannu during the Tochi Valley campaign on 19 November 1897; as the Rifle Brigade Chronicle records, ‘not a single man had been lost in action, but over 120 died from fever and dysentery; by the end we had now only a handful of sound men with us; the others pale, feeble, ands worn out, were either hospital patients or too week to get along without assistance.’ Sold with copied service papers, medal roll extract, and other research.
