*Waterloo, 1815 (Trp. Serj. Maj. J. Russell, 2nd or R.N. Brit. Reg. Drag.), contemporary silver clip and straight bar suspension with riband buckle, cleaned, good very fine. Roll confirms Troop Serjeant Major Jas. Russell, Captain J. Poole’s Troop. JAMES RUSSELL of Barony, Glasgow, was born c.1780 and enlisted on 29 September 1798, having previously worked as a mason. At the Battle of Waterloo his horse was severely wounded, but he fortunately managed to survive the battle unscathed. As recorded in ‘Grey’s Ghosts’ by Stuart Mellor: ‘During the action he lost his entire kit which contained his valuable, much read Bible, a possession he later stated he missed the most. It was Russell’s letter to his wife, one week after the battle, that was mainly responsible for the news of the great victory reaching Glasgow. He was discharged in October, 1821, having served for 25 years with the Regiment, as the result of a riding accident. After this, he worked as a steam boat harbour master at Broomielaw on the banks of the Clyde, and he died on 3 November 1864. Offered with photocopied documents taken from statement of service, examination of invalid soldiers, October 1821 and pension record. His conduct was described as being “Extremely good, an excellent soldier and a worthy man”. Ex Dix Noonan Webb, December 1994, lot 85
*U.S.A., Treasury Gold Life Saving Medal, awarded in 1983, engraved on reverse Douglas Peace 11/10/83, with wreathed eagle’s head swivelling suspension, 37.5mm, with matt finish as issued, minor marks from handling, otherwise extremely fine; with a relating miniature as awarded, extremely fine (2). The Medal is offered with a copy newspaper feature and notes, including a copy of the official citation for the award dated 9 October 1984 as follows: The Secretary of Transportation takes pleasure in presenting the GOLD LIFESAVING MEDAL to DOUGLAS PEACE for acts as set forth in the following CITATION: “For extraordinary and heroic action in the early morning hours of 10 November 1983, when he attempted the rescue of a survivor from the capsized offshore supply vessels, M/V LAVERNE HERBERT, nine miles offshore from Matagorda Island, Texas. LAVERNE HERBERT capsized in the Gulf of Mexico during heavy seas and high winds on the evening of 9 November 1983. Mr. Douglas Peace was a crewmember aboard the M/V CASEY CHOUEST, the first vessel to arrive at the scene of the casualty. Upon the vessel’s arrival, a man was observed clinging from the jackstaff of the LAVERNE HERBERT. As the CASEY CHOUEST approached, the survivor dropped from the jackstaff and began swimming toward the rescue vessel. Suddenly the survivor ceased swimming and began to slip beneath the surface. Mr. Peace, with total disregard for his own safety, dove from the bow of the CASEY CHOUEST in a valiant attempt to rescue the man in the water, struggling against enormous seas and blinded by the wind and spray. As one particularly large sea passed Mr. Peace, he saw the survivor on the face of the next wave, unable to swim any farther, knocked beneath the surface by sea action. In a desperate and valiant move, Mr. Peace dove beneath the storm-tossed waves, grasped the survivor, and struggled back to the surface. Demonstrating great courage, he began towing the survivor toward the CASEY CHOUEST. Then, just as the two men were about to be pulled from the water, the CASEY CHOUEST was hammered by successive large beam seas. This action drove the two men beneath the surface and under the chine of the vessel. The survivor was literally torn from Mr. Peace’s grasp as the pitching and rolling vessel struck Mr. Peace violently, causing numerous injuries. Risking further additional injuries, Mr. Peace dove repeatedly beneath the surface in frustrating and unsuccessful attempts to locate the submerged victim. Suffering from injuries, exhaustion, and hypothermia, he was finally forced to abandon his efforts and was pulled aboard the CASEY CHOUEST by his shipmates. Mr. Douglas Peace’s heroic attempts, unselfish actions, exceptional fortitude, and utter disregard for his own life, despite imminent danger reflect great credit upon himself and are in keeping with the highest traditions of the humanitarian service”. Sincerely, J. S. GRACEY Admiral, U. S. Coast Guard Commandant.’
*The Indian Mutiny ‘Secundra Bagh’ Victoria Cross awarded to Private John Smith, 1st Battalion Madras (European) Fusiliers, awarded for his gallant conduct in action as one of the first soldiers to enter the fray inside the Secundra Bagh on 16 November, 1857. With ‘bullets raining in every direction’ and despite being severely wounded, Private Smith led an attack inside the gates with three other Fusiliers and ‘bayonetted every sword-bearing Ghazi who resisted’, comprising: Victoria Cross, suspension bar engraved to reverse Private J. Smith, 1st Madras Fusrs, centre of cross engraved to reverse with the date ‘16 Nov. 1857’, about extremely fine and with a superb fighting citation. Victoria Cross: London Gazette, 24.12.1858: ‘For having been one of the first to try and enter the gateway on the north side of Secundra Bagh. On the gateway being burst open, he was one of the first to enter, and was surrounded by the enemy. He received a sword cut on the head, a bayonet wound on the left side, and a contusion from the butt end of a musket on the right shoulder, notwithstanding he fought his way out, and continued to perform his duties for the rest of the day. Elected by private soldiers of the detachment, 1st Madras Fusiliers.’ (Date of Act of Bravery: 16th November, 1857). Previously noted scant details of the recipient, used in combination with new genealogical research, suggest that he was John Thomas Smith, born in the Parish of St Luke’s (Islington), near Old Street, London on 16 January 1822, being baptized on 28 July 1822. He enlisted for service in the 1st Madras Fusiliers (later the Royal Dublin Fusiliers) in 1841. Commanded by the eccentric, brave and often ruthless Lieutenant-Colonel James Neil (nicknamed ‘the Avenger’), the 1st Madras Fusiliers were formed of tough European soldiers from varied backgrounds. Known as ‘Neill’s Blue Caps’ in reference to their distinctive uniform, this battalion served in the suppression of the Indian Mutiny from May 1857 until November 1858. At the outbreak of the rebellion they swiftly left Madras for Benares and then marched to Allahabad to assist the besieged Europeans, as well as to join the forces commanded by Brigadier-General Henry Havelock. Continuing onwards, this combined force then advanced upon Cawnpore, already aware that they were now too late to save the doomed European civilians from slaughter. They marched 126 miles in 9 days despite the incredible heat, during which time they won four pitched battles against Nana Sahib’s forces, captured 23 guns, and inflicted severe losses upon the enemy. On 15 and 16 July at Aong and the approach to Cawnpore, Neill’s Blue Caps took part in the defeat and indeed rout of the Nana’s Army of 10,000 soldiers before the great city, amid the now-famous shouts of ‘Remember Cawnpore’. Despite this success, the 1st Madras Fusiliers’ casualties were such that a time of recuperation and barrack duties was necessary. Returning to active service in September that year, the 1st Madras Fusiliers rejoined Havelock’s column, and left their sick and wounded behind at Cawnpore. This column, supplemented by the arrival of Sir James Outram’s Division, moved toward Lucknow, where 9 days later Havelock entered the city with the first relief force. The second relief force under Sir Colin Campbell, which included a detachment of Madras Fusiliers, moved to assist the beleaguered British troops besieged inside the Lucknow Residency on 9 November. During the morning of 16 November, as they neared their objective, Colonel Neil was shot in the head by a sniper and died in the last street approaching the Residency. Soon after, this second force began to come under tremendous fire from the fortified enclosure of the Secundra Bagh, which had become a stronghold and focal point for the besieging enemy forces. Recognizing it strategic importance Sir Colin ordered for guns to be brought up to breach the wall – just two hundred years ahead. Within as little as 15 seconds a team of Blue Caps had hauled one gun into position upon a raised mound, and put it to immediate use whilst ‘bullets rained like hail on the metal’. Roughly half an hour later, men from the 93rd Highlanders and 4th Punjab Infantry were ordered to enter the breach; this only large enough for one man to enter at a time, and meanwhile a detachment of Madras Fusiliers was sent to force entry through the gates at the north wall facing the River Gomti. Inside the walls was an impressive garden with a colonnaded pavillion at its centre which the defenders used for their last stand, and which later formed the backdrop to Felice Beato’s famously macabre photo of the interior taken soon afterwards - complete with skulls and remains in the forefront. In any case, it seems that at least two; the South (see cover) and North, were simultaneously attacked and forced in addition to the action taking place at the breach in the South East bastion of the outer wall. The northern gate mentioned in the citation for John Smith’s V.C. was well-covered by two loopholes for enemy snipers, and initially the Blue Caps struggled to force the gate, which moved only slightly with their efforts, and calls for a gun were sent out. Moments later, however, one of the detachment (and possibly John Smith) ‘placed his Enfield against what seemed to be the rivet of the obstructing bar of the gate and blew it away in a moment.’ As the party of 14 men from the 93rd Highlanders and 4th Punjab Infantry set to work cutting down the defenders inside the breach, Smith charged through the gate into the main courtyard, where ‘bullets were raining in every direction and these soon made the gateway a kind of target for the enemy who were now in the further turrets.’ Smith then led the attack, encouraging three other Blue Caps with him, where they ‘bayonetted every sword-bearing and shield-carrying Ghazi who resisted’ and all the defenders were slaughtered to a man. As mentioned in the citation to his V.C., Private John Smith received three separate wounds in the process of this attack on the Secundra Bagh, from sword, bayonet and musket stock, but he held fast and possessed sufficient strength to also take part in the fighting near the Shah Nujjef Mosque that very same day. An officer is recorded as having returned to the Secundra Bagh later that evening to assess the enemy casualties, arriving at a figure of 1800 men killed. Later figures based upon subsequent burials reach a figure of approximately 2500. Upon the departure of the 1st Madras Fusiliers from Calcutta, Lord Canning gave a speech in recognition of their achievements in April 1859, and said: “Yours was the first British regiment which took assistance to the Central Provinces, and gave safety to the important posts of Benares and Allahabad. You were part of that brave band which pushed forward to Cawnpore, and forced its way to Lucknow…From that time you have, with little intermission, been in the front of danger. You are now returning to your presidency, your ranks thinned by war and sickness, but you return covered with honour…When you reach Madras, tell your comrades in the Madras Army that the name of the 1st Fusiliers will never be forgotten on this side of India.” Smith was eventually discharged to pension in 1861, and died of ‘asphyxia’ on 6 May 1866 at Taujore, Trichinopoly, India, where he is buried in an unmarked grave in Taujore Cemetery. In addition to his Victoria Cross (one of 8 awarded for this action), Smith was entitled to the Indian Mutiny Medal with 2 clasps Relief of Lucknow and Lucknow, which does not appear to have been offered on the market to date. It may be noted in this regard that the name is unique on the Indian Mutiny roll for the 1st Madras Fusiliers and that the V.C. has only been known as a ‘single’ since its first known sale in 1924.

*The Second World War ‘Escaper’s’ K.C.V.O., O.B.E., M.C. & Bar Group of Ten awarded to Lieutenant-General Sir Chandos Blair, Queen’s Own Highlanders, G.O.C. Scotland and Governor of Edinburgh Castle, late C.O. of the 4th Battalion King’s African Rifles, and formerly of the 2nd and 7th Battalions Seaforth Highlanders. Captured during the Seaforths’ hard-fought rearguard action at St Valéry in June 1940, and widely reputed to have become the very first army officer to successfully escape and return home from a German Prisoner-of-War camp, he was later called upon to deliver the Queen’s Message and to handle the delicate negotiations involved in getting overturned the death sentence imposed on the British national Dennis Hills, who was due for execution by firing squad at the orders of President Idi Amin of Uganda (whom Blair had known many years before as an N.C.O. in the King’s African Rifles), comprising: The Royal Victorian Order, Second Class Knight Commander’s Set of Insignia by Collingwood, in silver, gilt and enamels, neck badge and breast star both numbered (1110) to reverse, in fitted case of issue; The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (Military Division), Officer’s breast badge, in silver-gilt, in case of issue; Military Cross, reverse engraved ‘1941’, with second award bar upon ribbon, engraved ‘1944’; 1939-1945 Star, France and Germany Star, Defence Medal, 1939-1945 War Medal, all unnamed as issued; General Service Medal, 1962-2007, single clasp, Radfan (Brig. C. Blair. O.B.E. M.C. Staff.); Silver Jubilee 1977; group swing-mounted on bar with reverse brooch pin, very fine and in original card box; together with Sir Chandos’s original commission document and K.C.V.O. Warrant (lot). K.C.V.O.: 25 October, 1972 (on relinquishing appointment as Defence Services Secretary); O.B.E.: London Gazette, 1 January 1962; M.C.: London Gazette, 30 September 1941: ‘for distinguished services in the field’;; Bar to M.C.: London Gazette, 19 October 1944, recommendation reads as follows: ‘Major Chandos Blair was in command of the advanced guard on Le Valtru on 28 June 44. Just short of the objective the left hand platoon was temporarily pinned by the fire by the enemy from a post some 400 yds away. Major Blair personally cleared the house which commanded the enemy post. Regardless of the heavy fire he moved about amongst his platoons, explaining his plan and by his disregard of enemy fire helped his men to disregard it also. He was almost the first man to reach the objective. Quickly rallying the assaulting troops he led them personally forward to the main objective on Le Valtru crossroads. This he cleared himself personally but the company was hampered by snipers from a nearby orchard. Again disregarding this fire he cleared the orchard. Throughout the attack on Le Valtru he was always to be found where fire was heaviest. His enthusiasm was an inspiration to his men and his determination to go forward and attack dominated the battle. On 29 June when both the C.O. and 2.I.C. of the Battalion were wounded, Major Blair assumed command of the Battalion. There had been many casualties and mortar fire was both heavy and spasmodic, but Major Blair moved about without fear, encouraging his men and held them firm in their posts until relieved some 36 hours later. Throughout the whole period of operations from 26 June to 30 June, Major Blair showed complete disregard to his personal safety and was at all times and inspiration to his company and later on to his Battalion.’ Lieutenant-General Sir Chandos ‘Chan’ Blair was born on 22 February 1919, the son of Brigadier-General Arthur Blair (K.O.S.B.) and Elizabeth Mary Blair (née Hoskyns). He was educated at Aysgarth School, then at Harrow, where he was a keen golfer, and finally at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst where he received the Sword of Honour. Receiving his first commission as a Second-Lieutenant in ‘C’ Company of the 2nd Battalion Seaforth Highlanders on 26 January 1939, he soon after took part in the fighting in France in June 1940, and at the time when much of the B.E.F. was being evacuated from Dunkirk, the 51st (Highland) Division took part in a gallant but ultimately doomed battle against Rommel’s 7th Panzer Division at Le Tot near St Valery-en-Caux. Surrounded, outnumbered and desperately short of ammunition or supplies, on 12 June thousands of the division’s men were taken prisoner, including 2nd Lt Chandos Blair. After a 14-day, 220--mile march, a journey by barge from Hulst in Holland down the Rhine to Baden-Württemburg, and a 60-hour train journey he arrived first at Oflag VIIC at Laufen Castle, where he remained until 1 March 1941 when he was moved to Stalag XXID - comprised of numerous forts at Posen, in Poland. Feeling his capture with a sense of ‘disgrace’ and ‘dishonour’ as mentioned in his letters, it was here that he made his first attempt at escape with 4 others, escaping his cell by ladder into a deep surrounding moat, in which they were eventually caught, reputedly turned in by a German guard who had accepted their bribe nonetheless. After some 21 days of subsequent confinement, they began collecting equipment, civilian clothes and supplies once again. On 4 June he was sent with 300 others to Oflag VB at Biberach, in Southern Germany. En route, Blair and his immediate friends had lost ‘the toss’ to another group who took an opportunity to escape from the train, but were later captured. After arriving at Biberach, and realising that if he were ultimately to escape then he needed to do so quickly, he immediately set about monitoring the camp movements and routines, and making plans for an escape. Taking turns to toss two dice with his two friends, on this occasion his score won, and thus it was he who was successfully extricated by hiding in a small handcart which was carrying stacked wooden beds to a shed beyond the gates. At this point one of the Blair’s friends offered the German guard a cigarette, and in this moment of diversion Blair made his escape to the shed. Armed only with a packet knife, homemade compass, matches, chocolate and a tin of Horlicks tablets, he emerged that night and survived by hiding in the woods and fields by day, and moving only under the cover of darkness. He remarked that for the first mile beyond the wire his ‘feet hardly touched the ground’ and that he ‘thoroughly enjoyed being hunted like a wild animal’ during his escape. After just over a week he passed Singen and reached the Swiss border, having covered 75 miles, and as he recalled in his second letter home from the Berne Legation: ‘When I got into Switzerland I only knew I was near the frontier….when I was challenged by a man in German, I thought the game was up…but continuing the conversation in French I discovered that the was a Swiss policeman who had been looking for a burglar. I nearly embraced him there and then I was so excited.’ After a short stay at Berne, where he was issued with false passports and other necessary provisions, he and another evader - Wing Commander P.A. Gilchrist, R.A.F. - left for Gibraltar on 12 January 1942 via France and Spain. Arriving safely, Gilchrist was first extracted on 27 January 1942, with Blair following on 11 February, both leaving by Sunderland flying boat. For his escape; the first successful ‘home run’ back to Britain made by a British army officer from a German POW Camp, Blair was awarded the Military Cross. Returning home to army service, he later was present as a Major with the 7th Battalion Seaforth Highlanders shortly after the D-Day Landings, where the 15th Scottish Division took part in Operation Epsom and the heavy fighting against German SS Tanks at Le Valtru near Caen. For his bravery in commanding his company and indeed his Battalion once his senior officers were wounded between 26 and 30 June, he was awarded a second award bar for his Military Cross….PLEASE GO TO WWW.MORTONANDEDEN.COM FOR FULL FOOTNOTE
