AN EDWARDIAN PRESENTATION TRAY of oval form, with raised scroll and shell border and plain handles, the centre chased with flowers and scrolls, engraved with a presentation inscription "Presented by the Planters Association of Ceylon to Mrs E.H.L. Thomas (Miss Geraldine Blake) in appreciation of the artistic skills displayed and generously given in the designing and execution of the Ceylon Contingent Memorial, Kandy", by James Dixon & Sons, Sheffield 1909, 26" long (handle to handle), (c.91oz). See illustration The tray marks an important moment in the history of the Boer War and of the contribution made by a patriotic group of soldiers from Ceylon. The fine memorial created to mark this history is also one of the finest bronze war memorials to have been created by a female artist at the turn of the nineteenth century. Unveiled in 1907, the 'Ceylon contingent memorial' is a large and impressive work by Geraldine Blake, a successful sculptor who was one of very few female artists to obtain a commission to create a work on this scale. Depicting a trooper of the Ceylon Mounted Infantry giving the signal 'enemy in sight', the sculpture is full of life and movement, with the soldier in full uniform holding a rifle above his head. Geraldine Blake, who became Geraldine Thomas at her marriage, was the sister-in-law of Lt Arthur H Thomas, one of the soldiers who died in action and is consequently commemorated on the memorial. Commissioned by A.H. Thomas' father to remember his son and fallen comrades, the choice of Geraldine Blake will have been a fitting family collaboration. The 'Ceylon contingent' were a locally raised unit of Ceylon volunteers drawn largely from the local white planter community. A 129 strong contingent travelled to fight in South Africa as a sign of their patriotic ardour and loyalty to the Queen and Empire. Described in the pages of the Daily Telegraph as 'lithe, clean-cut fellows and their 'mounts' are the hardy and wonderful Burma ponies'. Originally sited along the Lakeside Esplanade in Kandy the memorial became something of a focal point for nationalist sentiment in post-independence Sri Lanka in the 1960s. To protect the memorial it was removed from its plinth and relocated within the confines of the Sri Lankan Army barracks at Kandy where it remains.

Lot 2694D
A late 19th century enamelled miniature showing a dragoon and another officer in a landscape, 2.7 x 2cm, in a vulcanite locket. Provenance: From the estate of Major Thomas Frederick Ellis OBE. Major Ellis was commissioned as a Captain into the 2nd Punjab Regiment of the Indian Army in 1936. During WWII he was seconded to the 44th Indian Infantry Brigade in Singapore and was taken prisoner after Singapore fell in 1942. He spent time in the notorious Changi Prison before being transferred to work on the Burma Railway. He survived three brutal years on the railway and returned to England at the end of the war. He was married in March 1946 and later that year, keen to rejoin his regiment, he returned to India with his new bride. The Ellis's stayed in India until Partition in 1947, then returned once again to England. Major Ellis's family believe that their father acquired these miniatures between 1946 and 47 but there is also a possibility that he inherited them from his Uncle Colonel John Ellis who also had a long military history serving in India in the British Army.Note: The National Army Museum holds a memoir written by Ellis recalling his years of captivity working on the Burma Railway.

1952 Bentley R-Type Straight-Eight Special 'The Fire Engine' - Built by a former director of Rolls-Royce motorcars, and professional engineer, in the 1990s as a tribute to the 'Scalded Cat' Bentleys- Powered by a 6.5 litre Rolls-Royce B81 straight-eight engine allied to automatic transmission- Veteran of numerous rallies including the Bentley Drivers' Club's Tour of South Africa in 2003 (c.4,000 miles)Rolls-Royce built two straight-eight powered Bentleys using the 'B'-series eight-cylinder variant of the standard six-cylinder engine (one of which was loaned to HRH Prince Philip who was apparently reluctant to hand it back). These were dubbed 'Scalded Cats' and in the mid-1960s Robin Moore started to plan a similar car based on a R-Type Chassis. He was working in the experimental department of Rolls-Royce at the time and an internal memo dated August 1965 sees him asking if any ex-test cars would become available. This plan did not come to anything with the acquisition of an S1 Continental Convertible in the late 1960s consuming all available time and cash and the collapse of Rolls-Royce and his move to Surrey to work for W. S. Atkins closing off further progress.In the mid-1980s he had bought a Harry Rose-bodied MkVI Special and his interest in a B80-engined special was reignited. He acquired a Thorneycroft Nubian Fire Engine for its powerplant and an R-Type that had rotten coachwork but a sound chassis and running gear was also sourced. The body was stripped off the Bentley and work started on modifications to the chassis. The cruciform was cut and the front section moved back in the chassis by twelve inches. The front chassis side rails were extended and reinforced to provide space for the longer engine. All of the running gear was overhauled and meticulously reinstated. An elegant open tourer body was designed and commissioned in traditional ash framing and aluminium panels and the car was completed in late 1992. During the development, a B81 with its larger capacity of 6.52litres had been found and this replaced the B80. The R-Type automatic gearbox was retained and an R-Type Continental back axle ratio fitted which with the 17-inch wheels, provides relaxed cruising. At this stage he was persuaded that an elegant blue and grey colour scheme was preferable to the bright red he had envisaged to fit with the name.Used and enjoyed for numerous trips around the UK, the Special also ventured as far afield as South Africa for the Bentley Drivers' Club's 2003 tour of that country which saw participants cover circa 4,000 miles!However, the B81 engine that had been fitted was from an army training establishment and it became clear that it had had a hard life. In 2008 the opportunity came up to buy a brand new, unused B81G which is the variant of the B81 designed to run on propane or natural gas. It therefore has a much higher compression ratio - increased from 6.4:1 to 8.0:1 which modern fuels can run without any issue and provides a further boost in output to ensure that it is, in Rolls-Royce terminology 'adequate' (a standard B81 unit is estimated to develop 220bhp and 330lbft of torque).A full and detailed history is provided with the car as is weather equipment and a MOT certificate valid until October 2017.
