Military Cross London Gazette, 12 July 1945 Citation: Immediate Military Cross Lt Lilburn was on 4/5 April Officer Commanding 10 Platoon, when the Battalion crossed the Dortmund-Ems Canal and attacked towards Drierwalde. When his Platoon was crossing the Canal in assault boats under heavy shell fire, his coolness set a high example to the men under him. Later the Company was in reserve, but came under Small Arms and 20-mm fire. During this phase Lt. Lilburn was active in searching for and destroying enemy snipers who were proving troublesome. Hearing that some wounded men were lying in the open still under enemy fire, he organised a party of Stretcher Bearers to bring them in. With one Stretcher Bearer he worked forward over the most exposed stretch under very heavy fire form 20-mm gun and succeeded in bringing in a wounded man. When contact with two forward Company’s was temporarily lost and the situation was most obscure, he led forward a patrol and succeeded in contacting two forward Company’s and bringing back most valuable information about these Company’s and about the enemy. In carrying out this task he encountered the enemy and took 12-15 of them prisoner. Lt. Lilburn carried out all these duties in a very brave manner and with complete disregard to his personal safety. Throughout the day his bearing was an inspiration to all who came in touch with him and his conduct is worthy of the highest praise. (Since Killed in Action). The Citation is signed B.L. Montgomery, Field Marshall, Commander-in-Chief, 21 Army Group. Lieutenant H.N. Nielson is buried in Becklingen War Cemetery, Germany. Provenance – Direct from the Family, sold with copied London Gazette Entries, Copied Citation and Commonwealth War Graves Details.

Minor enamel damage to lower arm of the Order of St Stava, otherwise good very fine. (7) Distinguished Service Order London Gazette 3 June, 1918: ‘For distinguished services rendered with the British Forces on the Mediterranean Line of Communications.’ Mention in despatches London Gazette: 15 August 1917, 7 October 1918, 1 January 1943, 8 June 1944 Thomas Williams Lloyd served with the 4th Battalion, King’s Liverpool Regiment, in France from March 1915, where he was wounded. Afterwards he was appointed Adjutant to a unit of 2000 Royal Engineers at Liphook for six months, before he joined the mission that evacuated the Serbian Army from Albania to Salonika. He then spent a year in Mesopotamia as personal assistant to General Grey, who ran river transport, and worked out the scheme on which the advance to Baghdad was based. His subsequent award of the DSO was gazetted to him as a Captain (Acting Major), Liverpool Regiment, Special Reserve, employed Royal Engineers, and was the only award listed under the relevant heading. Towards the end of the war he was transferred to Italy for service in transportation and, after the armistice, was one of a mission of three officers sent by the War Office to report on communications in Hungary and the Adriatic Ports. On the renewal of hostilities, “Tommy” Lloyd was commissioned into the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, and served as the Intelligence Officer at Woodhall Spa, an appointment that witnessed him acting as I.O. to Guy Gibson’s newly formed “Squadron X”, soon to be retitled No. 617 “Dambuster” Squadron. By all accounts, including Paul Brickhill’s best-selling history, Lloyd was a popular squadron personality and patently a first-hand witness to the momentous events of May 1943, not least when he debriefed the returning “Dambuster’s”. Gibson, too, mentions him on several times in his classic memoir Enemy Coast Ahead, on one occasion for coming up with the idea of marking targets with incendiaries dropped by crack Beaufighter or Mosquito crews - “their job would be to go in at dusk, just before the main force was due, and drop coloured incendiaries on the factory itself. These could be seen from high up and the boys of the main force would be able to do steady bombing runs which would plaster the area with cookies.” Gibson countered Lloyd’s suggestion with the heavy loss likely to be suffered by the marking force, but noticed that the idea went down well with others, among them “Hoppy” Hopgood. Sadly, as recounted by Paul Brickhill, “Tommy” Lloyd was killed in a flying accident on 13 February 1944: ‘About the same time the rest of the squadron was landing at Ford in thick weather. Tommy Lloyd, Woodhall intelligence officer, had flown to Ford and de-briefed them, and then the weather worsened and it looked as though they were stranded for a while. [Squadron Leader Bill] Suggitt thought he could make it to Woodhall Spa all right and offered a seat in his aircraft to Lloyd, a gallant and revered World War I veteran. The immaculate Lloyd accepted but insisted on having a shave before take-off. A little later, spruce and monocled, he climbed into “J Jug” with Suggitt, and five minutes later the aircraft flew into a hill and everyone was killed instantly except Bill Suggitt, who lingered for a couple of days before he died.’ Their Lancaster hit a tree atop Littleton Down, the highest point on the South Downs in Sussex, and instantly spun into the ground. A local farmer found Bill Suggitt strapped in his seat shouting “Turn the engines off,” but he lost consciousness shortly afterwards. Another crew member killed in the accident was Guy Gibson’s Flight Engineer from the Dam’s raid, John Pulford, DFM. Five days later, Wing Commander Cheshire, commanding No. 617 Squadron, wrote to Lloyd’s widow: ‘Dear Mrs. Lloyd, I have very much wanted to call on you and speak to you in person. Since I have been unable to leave the Station, I am taking this opportunity of writing to you.

ORDERS, DECORATIONS AND MILITARY MEDALS, Single British Campaign Medals, Small Army Gold Medal, 1808-1814, awarded to Major-General Charles Edward Conyers CB, 1st Battalion 82nd (Prince of Wales’s Volunteers) Regiment, who was severely wounded in action at Orthes on 27 February 1814 whilst Commanding the Regiment (Lieut. Coll. Chas. E. Conyers, 82nd Foot), officially engraved, fitted with original gold ribbon buckle and suspension, original glass lunettes, suspension once neatly repaired but no longer swivels. Good very fine, tiny upper chip to reverse lunette. Charles Edward Conyers appears to have been born in Castlelyons, County Cork, Ireland. Whilst records are scant concerning his lineage, he is believed to be a scion of the influential Conyers family of Castletown-Conyers, County Limerick. Charles Conyers received his first commission into the British Army in 1794, as a young Ensign and soon found himself sent via nine-month spent in Gibraltar to the island of St Domingo in the West Indies. As part of the 1st Battalion 82nd Foot, this Regiment was intended to assist in the establishment of a Protectorate at Port-au-Prince at the request of a number of influential islanders, and dislodge the increasingly beleaguered French military presence located there, which was suffering under something of a national rebellion against French rule and slavery (which at this point in time was growing into a very important political movement in Britain). Some 832 rank and file of the 82nd Foot were embarked on 10 June 1795 under the Command of the young Lieutenant Colonel George Garnier, arriving at Mole St Nicholas, and proceeding immediately to Port-au-Prince to assist the Governor, Major-General Sir Adam Williamson KB, in a military offensive. Fighting from the district of Mirebalais, where, for a period of twelve months, the 82nd were the only European Troops, Conyers was made Lieutenant on 2 September 1795, and was present during a number of engagements with the enemy. The most serious of these attacks was made by the local chief and leader Toussaint L’Ouverture, on the whole line of the frontier, when 40 men of the 82nd, under Lieutenant’s Manners and Conyers, accompanied by some two thousand five hundred colonial levies, marched at night to assist Fort Serolle, then invested by four-thousand enemy soldiers, who were taken by surprise, subsequently dislodged and the dispersed with considerable casualties. For this particular success Lieutenant Conyers received a personal letter of thanks from Brigadier-General Churchill. Unfortunately, the 82nd lost their Commanding Officer Colonel Garnier (and his brother Henry, Ensign, amongst many) to yellow fever in December 1796, adding to their difficulties. In 1797 Conyers was placed in command of Fort Desureaux, leading a garrison of forty Europeans and three-hundred colonial troops. He had to repel several assaults during this period, and when Pestel was attacked, he personally led a party against the rear of the enemy, which caused the failure of their enterprise, and for his conduct on this occasion he gain received a personal letter of thanks from Brigadier-General Churchill. In March 1798, he was appointed Fort Major of Irois, and during its siege, which lasted for three-months, Lieutenant Conyers and two non-commissioned officers of the 82nd were wounded, and the garrison lost more men killed and wounded than its original number of three-hundred. Towards the end of 1798, treaties were made with the hostile chiefs for the evacuation of the island, owing to the constant fighting and the ravages of malaria and yellow fever, the remains of the 82nd were collected at Jaremie, under the command of Lieutenant Conyers, the only remaining officer of the original number which had landed less than three years before at St Domingo. In total, from the original contingent, 22 officers were lost as well as some 1000 men. After returning to England in late January 1799, he served briefly in the expedition to Quiberon Bay in France, before serving in Minorca for two years with the 82nd Foot until it was ceded to Spain under the terms of the Peace of Amiens, before being removed to Ireland in 1802. In this year Conyers was promoted to Captain on 25 June, 1802, and made ADC to Major-General Patrick Wauchope. It appears that he subsequently followed Wauchope to Malta for 1 year and 8 months, and then on to Egypt in 1807 as ADC, serving as a member of the Staff under General Alexander Mackenzie-Fraser to confront Ottoman forces in that strategic location. He was present with the British force led by Wauchope at the storming and retreat from Rosetta, as the British forces were shot and sniped from windows in the labyrinthine streets. Here Wauchope was killed and Captain Conyers was presumably wounded with him in the fighting, receiving a severe contusion (presumably from a glancing bullet). His service papers then detail that he was subsequently made ADC to Brigadier-General Sir William Stewart during the siege of Rosetta, before the British and Colonial army’s retreat to Sicily, where Captain Conyers served for 2 years and on the Staff as Brigade Major. Returning to England after some 9 years abroad in 1809, he was officially promoted to Major on 16 February 1809 when he was granted three-months leave. His service papers inconveniently end at this point, but it appears very likely that he served in the ill-fated Walcheren Expedition where both battalions of the 82nd Foot served. We do know, however, from the Royal Military calendar that he served on the Staff as Brigade Major in Spain under Wellington. The 82nd saw a great deal of action throughout the war in Spain and France, and perhaps owing to the severity in senior officer casualties suffered amongst the 82nd Foot during this campaign he appears to have been the highest-ranking able-bodied officer of the Regiment by late 1813. Continuing into 1814, he saw his finest hour during the operations on the Gave d’Oleron, at Hastingues and Oyer le Gave across the Pyrenees, culminating in the Battle of Orthes. Here he led his Regiment into action against concentrated French forces in a superior position, and commanded it successfully until he was severely wounded (presumed bullet wound, details strangely absent from all records), being awarded the Army Gold Medal, as well as another being awarded to major Vincent who succeeded him in command. Despite inflicting heavy French casualties, the 82nd suffered only 2 officer casualties, Conyers severely wounded and Lt Drummond wounded, two other ranks killed and 34 wounded, suggesting that Conyers was conspicuous at the front of his men. After a brief pause of 4 months, he received the Brevet Lieutenant Colonel, and thereafter Conyers (now recovered) was sent to command the 82nd Foot in Canada and North America in the War of 1812. 590 remaining rank and file embarked at Paulliac in Bordeaux on 5 May 1814, travelling to Quebec. Arriving in Canada, they travelled to meet the British army and fight with Canadian and Native Indian Volunteers at Fort Erie on the Niagara Frontier. In particular, it appears that Conyers here commanded the 2nd Battalion 82nd Foot until peace was made with America in March 1815, following the British capture of Washington, and the American victory at New Orleans. The Second Battalion was subsequently reduced and returned to England and Conyers was made Lieutenant Colonel on 20 April 1815. He was stationed in Ireland at Birr, County Armagh, as Commanding Officer for two years before returning to England, and whilst at his home in Fulham he married Miss Sarah Teixeria de Sampayo, daughter of Portuguese Consul General in London (and former Inspector General of Cavalry in Lisbon) Count Antonio Teixeria de Sampayo, 14 June 1815.

ORDERS, DECORATIONS AND MILITARY MEDALS, Campaign Groups and Pairs, An Extremely Rare Pairing of “Father and Son” Naval General Service Officers Medals awarded to Lieutenant-Colonel Henry John Murton, Royal Marines, recipient of a Sword of Honour from the Lloyds Patriotic Fund for Gallantry for his role in the cutting out of the Schooner Giganta at Viega, and to his son Lieutenant Henry Fortescue Murton, Royal Marines, comprising Naval General Service Medal, 1793-1840, single clasp, Egypt (H.J. Murton R.M.), the initials erased and engraved, surname and rank officially impressed; Naval General Service Medal, 1793-1840, single clasp Navarino (H.F. Murton, Lieut R.M.), the initials erased and engraved, surname and rank officially impressed. One or two tiny marks and minor nicks to first, otherwise good very fine, toned, the second with occasional small marks and reverse rim nicks, generally very fine, lightly toned. (2) Lieutenant Colonel Henry John Murton, Royal Marines, was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant 1 May 1798 and led a distinguished career. As recorded in Hart’s Army list for 1851: “Lt. Col. Murton served in the North Sea and Helder expedition, 1799, served in the Egyptian Expedition {aboard HMS Rodney} and the East Indies, 1801; in the West Indies, slightly wounded 1804, on the coast of France engaged with an enemy Flotilla in 1805; the Mediterranean in 1806 cutting out enemy vessels from under the Batteries, and was voted a Sword from the Patriotic Fund; the Coast of Spain aiding the Guerrillas; served in Holland 1813, Medal for service in Egypt”. He retired on Full Pay 12 February 1842 and died at Brompton (Chatham) January 1854. Also entitled to the Sultan’s Gold Medal for Egypt. The inscription of his Lloyds Sword reads: “From the Patriotic Fund a Lloyds to Lieut. H.L. (Henry John) Murton of the Royal Marines HMS Renommee for his Gallant Conduct in the Command of the Marines Employed in Boarding & Carrying the Spanish Schooner Giganta of 9 Guns & 38 Men under the Batteries of the Town and Tower of Viega 4 May 1806”. This sword appeared on the market in 1996 and 2003, being originally sold by Sotheby’s in 1966, just months prior to the medals. His son, Lieutenant Henry Fortescue Murton, Royal Marines, served at the Battle of Navarino aboard HMS Asia. He appears to have resigned from further naval service as a result of a conflict between himself and Captain William Wise, whilst serving on HMS Thunderer, stemming from a perceived act of indiscipline. For this, Captain Wise ordered Second Lieutenant Murton to keep the first watch (8.00pm to Midnight) whilst in Port in Malta. As Royal Marine Officers were not usually expected to keep watch, this order angered Murton who promptly offered his resignation, which equally promptly seems to have been accepted – as he was shipped home. In June 1834, his father, then Captain H J Murton, wrote an appeal for reinstatement, which was apparently unsuccessful. Research appears to show that rather curiously; he died at Waco, Texas, in April 1880, aged just 44 years. The hypothesis which has been drawn by previous cataloguers is that both medals must have been issued as “H. Murton, Lieut R.M.” (A coincidence between their ranks and medal entitlement at the time of issue) and that the recipients had their initials added subsequently to distinguish clearly between father and son. As such, the NGS roll showing entitlement only to H J Murton (a unique surname) for a two clasp NGS for Egypt and Navarino, with both awards shown in the rank of Second Lieutenant for actions many years apart, can only be erroneous. Sold with a quantity of detailed research, including a photocopy of Lt Colonels “Memorial” letter of petition including further details on his son’s career. This suggests that when sold in July 1966, the lot, including Lt Col Murton’s Sultan’s Gold Medal for Egypt, was a complete father and son family group. ex Sotheby’s, July 1966, both medals sold with a Sultan’s Gold Medal for Egypt for £70.

ORDERS, DECORATIONS AND MILITARY MEDALS, Campaign Groups and Pairs, A Very Good Sudan, Boer War and Great War Gallipoli Peninsular Group of 7 awarded to Private J.

Logan 1st Seaforth Highdrs). Very fine. (7) John Logan was born in Glasgow, Scotland, 10 December 1870, a cabinet maker by trade whose father had served with the 93rd Foot, The Thin Red Line, in the Crimea. He joined the Seaforth Highlanders on the 12 December 1892, undertaking basic training at Fort George, Scotland. His first posting was to the North West Frontier where he served for three years (receiving the India Medal 1895-1902 with the clasp Relief of Chitral). He served in Crete from March to November 1897 and Malta from November to January 1898 when the Battalion was sent to Egypt. He fought at The Atbara, 8 April 1898, and at the Battle of Omdurman, 2 September 1898 where he was severely wounded by a Gun Shot Wound to his left side – “Captain Egerton was at his side as he fell bent down and cut away his kilt, then called for stretcher bearers” – when the bullet entered his side part of his kilt, the thick overlap part, was carried into the wound, this it was thought plugged the wound and stopped him from bleeding to death. He was sent back to England in a hospital ship and convalesced at Netley Military Hospital and was presented to Her Majesty Queen Victoria and her daughter Princess Beatrice when they visited the hospital, talking to Private Logan for five minutes about his wound and the Kilt that had saved him. He showed them the bullet which had been extracted from his side. Princess Beatrice enquiring if, at her expense, he would like it silver plated, an offer he declined. This incident reported in his local Scottish newspaper. On return to his Regiment he was thereafter known as “Plug Logan” after the incident with his kilt. As his period of engagement was coming to an end the Boer War was just starting in South Africa, he remained with the Colours, was mobilized and sailed with the 2nd Battalion to South Africa on the 21 October 1899 taking passage in the “SS Mongolian” landing at Cape Town. He was present at the battle of Magersfontein as part of the Highland Brigade where he was wounded and taken prisoner; he was captive for about a month before being freed by the British Forces. He was returned to England at the cease of hostilities and returned to Fort George to await release and transfer to the Army Reserve which took place at the beginning of 1903. He joined the Territorial Army in 1913 joining with six or seven other ex-Seaforth’s, one of them his brother-in-law, Hughie Wilkie, the 6th Battalion the High Land Light Infantry choosing this Regiment as it wore the McKenzie Tartan kilt. The Battalion remained in Scotland after the start of the Great War proceeding as part of the 51st Lowland Division to Gallipoli, Pte Logan landing on Helles Beach on 6 June 1915, he took part on 6 August 1915 in the attack on Achi Baba, however the Adjutant “McPhie”, told Logan to “stand down as he had a wife and six children”, the Battalion suffered very heavily in the attack attaining the Turkish Trenches for only a short while. On their return to the British Line it was found that Hughie Wilkie, John’s brother-in-law was missing. John immediately went out into no-man’s land to look for him tending to many of the Battalion’s wounded as he searched. Eventually Hughie returned to the lines on his own. Contracting Dysentery whilst on the Peninsula he was evacuated to England to Stobhill Hospital, Glasgow in October 1915. Pte Logan was discharged from the Army in September 1916 being no longer fit for further military service. During the German Spring Offensive of 1918 the fitness rules were relaxed and at the age of 48 John Logan enlisted in the Royal Air Force and was serving in France on 11 November 1918 being transferred to the “G” Reserve on 3 March 1919. His greatest regret of Army life was that whilst recovering from his wound in Netley Hospital after the Battle of Omdurman his tin box containing his India Medal and the bullet that wounded him were stolen. He died in Scotland 16 November 1938, aged 67. Sold with copied family history and copied photographs of Pte Logan in uniform and his wife Agnes Logan nee Wilkie, who he married on 11 November 1903.

William Conor OBE RHA RUA ROI (1881-1968)THE SEE-SAWcrayonsigned lower left13½ x 18½in. (34.29 x 46.99cm)Collection of George and Maura McClellandThe present lot is almost a mirror image, in terms of subject matter and composition, of The See-Saw (Botanic Gardens) which sold through these rooms on 10 October 2011 as lot 35.In the mid 1940s and early '50s Conor exhibited a series of work depicting children at play, including Swing High, Swing Low (1944), Hobby Horses (1947) and Chair-o-Planes (1951) and given the style of dress and the subject the present work can be dated to this same period.In the catalogue to the 2006 National Gallery exhibition 'A Time and a Place: Two Centuries of Irish Social Life', Brendan Rooney wrote on the companion piece - The See-Saw (Bontanic Gardens) included in that show - and his words would be equally fitting to describe the present example from that same series.""The carefree, excited play of children on a see-saw on a bright summer's day can be seen as a kind of pictorial antidote to some of the harsher realities - illness, physical work, penury and unemployment - of life in working-class Belfast in the 1920s and 1930s, and a counterpoint to the daily toils of artisans and the lower middle-class. Significantly, and not withstanding the complexity of Conor's identity, these pictures, including those of children at play, transcend the sectarianism that had crept with increasing virulence into Belfast from the late nineteenth century onwards. Conor delighted in depicting recreational activities, from music and games to singing, dancing, visits to the beach, theatre and even polo… [Conor's] ability to communicate glee and good-humour was unsurpassed. Nor was it one-dimensional. He could capture with equal alacrity the jovial confidence of an army recruit, the celebratory air of a wedding party, or the giddiness of a dancing couple.""
