Lieutenant Joseph Sackville-West, who served in Brabant’s Horse, enlisting in South Africa after fleeing arrest in the Colony of Western Australia in 1900. Queen’s South Africa Medal 1899-1902, 1 clasp CAPE COLONY, engraved in italics Lieut J.H.S. WEST, Brabants Horse. Some edge knocks to rim, light scratches to reverse. Medal comes with a small file of research and book relating to the Sackville family.Joseph Hale Sackville-West was born in Swindon, Wiltshire in 1869 to Joseph West and Stella Hale. He married Isabella Sara Fogarty on 24/2/1898 in Kanowna, Western Australia, to which they had 2 children. Joseph had met Isabella, while both were working in the local Law court as clerks. He enlisted for service in Brabant’s Horse, serving between 24/11/1900 and 21/12/1901, being commissioned as a Lieutenant. The enlistment in South Africa was most likely as a result of 3 warrants of arrest being made against Joseph in April & June of 1900 as a result of absconding the colony, owing debts of 14 pounds in Kanowna to Henry Christopher Smith. Joseph seems to have stayed on in South Africa post-war, with evidence of him relating to mining leases and prospecting. Lt J.H. Sackville-West died when he ‘accidentally shot himself’ on board the H.M.S. Endymion at Sheerness in Scotland on 6 Jan 1911. An interesting character, of which further research would surely bear fruit.

"I've no work on hand, so can be nurse, secretary, or what have you...", Daphne du Maurier: (1907 - 1989) British Author, T.L.S. Mena, 25th September 1964, 'Bing', two pages, to Maureen Baker-Munton, ('Dearest Maureen'), now her husband Sir Frederick Browning is back at Menabilly 'here Moper is picking up, and being so brave and spirited about it all'. She continues 'he's already choosing a new car he can drive with one foot - a T.R.2000. Whether he ever will who can tell - but what of it, anything to keep his spirit up and have something to think about ahead. She adds 'Thank goodness my book is finished, and I've no work on hand, so can be nurse, secretary, or what have you'. Although 'one has got to keep calm and non-emotional. The thing of watching Moper in pain nearly killed me, but if I knew if I relaxed control in any way it would be hopeless. The queer thing is that I find this proper crisis of illness easier to bear up under than the drinking thing, which truly got me down. I s'pose, though awful, tis more natural-like'.(All rights are reserved by The Chichester Partnership and no written materials may be reproduced in part or in full without the express prior written permission of The Chichester Partnership c/o Curtis Brown Group Ltd)

"General Browning indisposed", Daphne du Maurier: (1907 - 1989) British Author, T.L.S. 'Bing', Menabilly Par Cornwall, 16th August 1961, two page letter, to Mrs Maureen Baker-Munton, nee Luschwitz, ('Dearest Maureen') a harrowing letter on her husband Sir Frederick Browning's alcoholism. 'Unfortunately, the worst has happened, and Moper began to work himself up to a blind about a couple of days before they arrived. I had specially not invited Peter this time remembering Christmas, but it was of no avail. By Sunday he was slipping out and buying whiskey from the pub down Polmear hill and hiding it in the back kitchen, and by Sunday evening absolutely "out". Bed, and of course the sailing of the Jeanne d'Arc cancelled for Regatta (which Tessa had come to crew for) and the inevitable excuses to rest of crew and the Yacht club, "General Browning indisposed". I thought bed would do the trick, but to my horror he got out of bed on Monday night, when we were istening to T.V. and found the only two bottles of wine that had not been locked up, and wolfed one bottle of red wine that night, and the bottle of white wine at breakfast yesterday morning'. Daphne continues 'Moper's age group and his terribly tricky psychological make-up make him the most difficult type of alcoholic patient to treat. Going into a Home would almost kill him with misery, and I dont think I could bear it. On the other hand we cannot continue with this happening every month like a woman's Rib'.

"A shit of a man couldn't care less!", Daphne du Maurier: (1907 - 1989) British Author, T.L.S. 'Bing', Mena, 5th February 1959, three page letter, to Mrs Maureen Baker-Munton, nee Luschwitz, ('Dearest Maureen') a clear headed and tolerant letter about her husband Sir Frederick Browning's health troubles and their causes. 'In fact, for 62 he is a good specimen... he is medically called "manic depressive" and not bad enough for a Home'. Daphne continues, the doctor 'wants to keep him balanced between that "Boy Browning can do anything" attitude (which is the manic phase) and "I'm no use for anything, I've failed in life," (which is the depressive phase)'. Of his dalliances, 'No harping back or recriminations over anything that is past. If humanly possible get the footing between them as friendly as possible, and as jam along. She will appreciate, I'm sure, that the more hang-dog and guilty Moper feels about their relationship, the more impossible it is to get the whole thing in perspective. There seems to be no earthly reason why they should not continue to be good friends and meet and write, but to resume the old relationship on a furtive sort of basis just won't work. The guilt would make the drinking start, and once that starts everything goes to pot'. She continues, ' you know, I went through this so much with my old Puxley man years ago (when I was taking the Garden part!) and honestly, it was not until I stopped seeing him and stopped the endless letter writing, and got down to Christmas card level and a few letters, that he stopped drinking and recovered. I did not do a "this is the end" thing, but by not meeting and sending letters, the thing really died a natural death. I've no objection to the Garden knowing about this, if she doesn't know already (no need for names) but it might show that I am not without sympathy for their friendship, having been in an identical position myself, and indeed a worse one, everything going on under his roof, to start with. To a fundamentally nice man, which Moper is and so was Puxley, the burden of guilt is too strong to bear. they can't be lighthearted about it, and so they drink to forget. A shit of a man couldn't care less!'.(All rights are reserved by The Chichester Partnership and no written materials may be reproduced in part or in full without the express prior written permission of The Chichester Partnership c/o Curtis Brown Group Ltd)

"I've been really rotten in health", Daphne du Maurier: (1907 - 1989) British Author, A.L.S. 'Daphne', Cannon Hall Hampstead, 27th December 1925, one page letter, to Miss Itha Heissing, a very early letter to her school friend. 'It was divine of you Itha, to send me that book of Oscar Wilde's. I loved the subtle sayings that you had underlined, though I think he was a bit of a poseur'. She continues, 'I had such a hectic time this term at Camposenea. I got ill, had 'flu very badly, and the new matron was a hopeless lazy hag, and didn't look after me at all, so Daddy wired to Wick that I was to stay with a friend of mummies in Paris, and to go to her doctor... It made me very miserable, and I've been really rotten in health. It had all been such fun too - being in the 'premier' and sleeping at the cottage. Charbonnier came to give us history lessons which was faintly nerve-racking. Yvon was marvellous to me all the time, I dont know what I should have done without her'. Adding, 'I was very fond of Campo weren't you? And now everything is over. I could never bear to go back there again, and walk as a stranger in the place where I once lived. Do you know what I mean?... In a years' time we will be forgotten there. "Ships that pass in the night". Together with a letter from Itha to Daphne from 1981.During this time Daphne was suffering from influenza and would return to Paris the following January to continue treatment whilst being supervised by Mlle Fernande Yvon. Daphne was infatuated with her school mistress Mlle Fernande Yvon and the two enjoyed a close relationship.(All rights are reserved by The Chichester Partnership and no written materials may be reproduced in part or in full without the express prior written permission of The Chichester Partnership c/o Curtis Brown Group Ltd)

"All the rooms have wash basins. I do sound so like a hotel!", Daphne du Maurier: (1907 - 1989) British Author, T.L.S. Kilmarth Par Cornwall, 14th October 1969, 'Bing', two pages, to Maureen Baker-Munton, ('Dearest Maureen'), an update letter confirming the dates of a visit for Maureen's birthday however 'but could you bear to leave the Wibby behind? The thing is, I am being firm about no dogs here, unless the guest is prepared to sleep with, and keep a guest dog, in the children's wing, and it doesn't really work well, and spoils the holiday for the guests...It's Moray who is the trouble, he either bobs or frights, and no one can settle to peace and quiet'. She outlines options for sleeping arrangements assuring Maureen 'all the rooms have wash basins. I do sound so like a hotel!' Daphne continues 'Tessa had a faky weekend here with David, whom I likes enormously although he never draws breath and is very restless, rather like Prince Philip, but he could have been nervous of me!' Daphne's daughter Tessa who recently divorced Major Peter de Zulueta would marry David Montgomery, 2nd Viscount Montgomery of Alamein the following year.
