Arthur Edwin Cronshaw, Manchester RegimentSebia, Order of the White Eagle, 4th Class London Gazette 15.2.1917 Captain (temporary Major) Arthur Edwin Cronshaw, Manchester Regiment'For distinguished services rendered during the course of the campaign.'Lieutenant-Colonel Arthur Edwin Cronshaw, D.S.O., T.D., (1874-1924) was educated at Manchester Grammar School. Commissioned Second Lieutenant, 1st Volunteer Battalion, Manchester Regiment, November 1896, he was promoted Lieutenant, July 1897, and served with the 2nd Battalion Manchester Regiment in South Africa, from March 1901 to May 1902, and was present at the operations in Cape Colony in April 1901, and in the Orange River Colony from May 1901 to May 1902; on his return to the U.K. he was promoted Captain, 7.1.1903.Mobilised with the 5th Battalion on the outbreak of the Great War, 4.8.1914, he was promoted temporary Major, 31.8.1914. Landing at Cape Helles, Gallipoli on 6.5.1915, he went on to attract the approbation of his Commanding Officer, Colonel Henry Darlington, as evidenced by the following extracts taken from the latter's Letters From Helles (London, 1936): '... Old Cronshaw got a bump on the head during our Straffe last night, but no damage done. I think it was a bit of a stone from the parapet as a machine-gun knocked our sandbags to pieces just where he and I were standing. He is a perfect marvel and doing most excellent work. I only hope the old Turk won't bag him. On 7 August he climbed out of our trench in the attempted attack on H.11.B. and was promptly blown in again by a shell. It did not seem to worry him at all and all he suffered from was a bit of stiffness. We pull his leg about it, as you can imagine' .'... Cronshaw, Lee and I got a rifle and rifle grenades and two of our men, and between us, none of us knowing in the least how to use the beastly things, loosed off some grenades. By sheer fluking, we got our second and third bombs right bang in the Turk trench, apparently clean in the lair of the sniper. We trust we blew him up, but at any rate the sniping there is not so confident as it was'.'... Ernest Fletcher is not well and is resting in his valise; Cronshaw is laid up and I am afraid he will have to go to hospital. There are only three now unlisted of the old originals (Officers), Self, Fletcher and Cronshaw, and I am afraid that there will be only two by this evening' [Darlington, too, was evacuated sick a few weeks later].Having miraculously survived the horrors of Gallipoli, Cronshaw was appointed to the command of the 1/7th Battalion, Manchesters, and joined his men in the Egyptian Theatre of War in June 1916. Taking up forward positions near Gilban on the eastern side of the Canal, he led the Battalion at the Battle of Romani on 4.8.1916, an action that resulted in the withdrawal of a German-led Turkish Army numbering some 18,000 men. Soon afterwards he was informed of the pending award of his Fourth Class Order of the Serbian Eagle, 'a long delayed recognition of his magnificent work in Gallipoli'. In early 1917, Cronshaw and the 1/7th set sail for France, having accompanied the pursuit of the Turks as far as El Arish on the Palestine border. Arriving at Marseilles on 10.3.1917, the Battalion was moved up to the Epehy Sector and, in June, to the Havrincourt Sector. But it was not until late September that Cronshaw and the 1/7th were really back in the thick of it, on this occasion at the Third Battle of Ypres, the action that almost certainly resulted in the award of his D.S.O. Suffering from the effects of gas, the stress of command and the tribulations of the unsuccessful programme to 'exchange' Battalion C.Os within frontline Regiments - in Cronshaw's case the 1/8th Worcestershire Regiment - he was evacuated home in January 1918. Not, perhaps, surprisingly, given the strain of constant active employ (and command) over a period safely in excess of two years, the 'Medics' quickly ruled that Colonel Cronshaw was 'only fit for home service', so ending a remarkable operational career.Subject to 20% VAT on Buyer’s Premium.

A PRESENTATION EQUESTRIAN MANTEL CLOCK WITH MUSICAL CHIME LYUBAVIN, ST. PETERSBURG,1904, 84 STANDARD Height 45 cm, base 40.5 by 25 cm. The green-grey hardstone chiselled to imitate a rocky outcrop, centred with a circular white dial with black Roman numerals within plain silver bezel and applied with dedication plaque “For distinguished conduct in Russo-Turkish war of 1877–1878”, Roman and Arabic numerals “XXV” and “1863.1888» and the badge of the Order of St. George and enamelled epaulettes, mounted with a silver cast and finely chased figure of a horse with mounted artilleryman; the wooden base containing musical movement with a commemorative plaque engraved in Cyrillic “From colleagues and comrades-in-arms of the Life-Guards of the 1st Artillery Squadron and Field Artillery Battalion” and a list of sixty officers. This fine clock with an equestrian figure was presented to an unnamed distinguished officer who served in the Life-Guards of the 1st Artillery Squadron and Field Artillery Batallion. The red and white colours of the enamel epaulettes on the clock correspond to the colours of the wrist-cuffs and welts of the uniform of this military unit. The clues to the identity of the officer can be found in the names of his colleagues listed on the plaque. Among them: General-Major M. Meklenburg-Strelitskii (Commander of the Squadron 1903–1908), Colonels V. Lekhovich, N. Demidov, E.Smyslovskii and N. Il’kevich, Captain G.Veshnyakov and Staff-Commander N. Belyaev. The military register proves that these officers at some point in their military career all served in the Life-Guards of the 1st Artillery Squadron. The majority of them were still serving in that Squadron in 1904 when the clock was presented. The Life-Guards unit of the 1st Artillery Squadron was founded in 1796 and participated in the Russo-Turkish war (1877–1878) and World War I; the Field Artillery Battalion was founded in 1898 and disbanded in 1918. Both units were based in St. Petersburg. The dedication plaque “For distinguished conduct in Russo-Turkish war of 1877–1878” indicates that the officer to whom the clock was presented, also participated in that war and was awarded the Order of St. George. Research into the Order’s knights who would match these criteria has produced only one name – that of Colonel Alexander Onoprienko. Alexander Onoprienko (1827 – after 1917) was awarded the 4th Class Order of St. George in 1878. By 1904, he was the Commander of the Life-Guards 1st Artillery Squadron for 25 years (from 1879), and in 1888 he also took command of the 2nd Artillery Squadron. He participated in the suppression of the Polish rebellion in 1863 and was in charge of the St. Petersburg military district from 1895. Onoprienko resigned from this post on the 12th August 1904. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that the present lot was a leaving present from his colleagues. The history of the Russian army and the dramatic events of the first quarter of the 20th century are all reflected in this clock, which makes it not only a remarkable timepiece and work of art, but above all a historical artifact of particular importance to collectors.
