A contemporary report concerning the recipient states: ‘A chum of Signaller Tucker stated that throughout all the fighting he continued his dangerous work unharmed, seeming to bear a charmed life, but on the 12th June 1916, the last day of this battle, after four times repairing his signal wires under and intense barrage, he was mortally wounded at the fifth attempt, and died the next day in a Canadian Casualty Clearing Station.’

*The Orders, Medals and Decorations awarded to Lieutenant-Colonel the Right Honourable Martin Michael Charles, Baron Charteris of Amisfield G.C.B. G.C.V.O. O.B.E. Q.S.O. P.C. Educated at Eton College and the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, he served as an officer in the King’s Royal Rifle Corps in WW2 and saw action in North Africa during which time he was temporarily paralysed by ‘Nile Rheumatism’. Returning home to convalesce in October 1940, his hospital ship S.S. Yorkshire was subsequently torpedoed and sunk, seeing him cast adrift and then rescued before recuperating in Britain. Back in action in 1941, he took command of ‘A’ Company, 2nd Battalion, K.R.R.C., part of the 7th Motor Brigade, and fought in and around El-Alamein, Tobruk, Gazala and then in the Italy campaign. After the war he served as Head of Military Intelligence (G.S.I.) in Palestine 1945-46, and was fortunate to have not been present during the infamous King David Hotel bombing, which had targeted the offices of the senior figures of the British Administration. He rose to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel, and was a refined, charming and well-connected individual with a keen wit and sense of humour. He was appointed Private Secretary to H.R.H. The Princess Elizabeth, Duchess of Edinburgh and heiress presumptive to the British throne in 1950, and was the first to receive word from Britain of the death of King George VI during a visit to Kenya. Continuing to serve H.M. The Queen as her Assistant Private Secretary (1952-1972) under Sir Michael Adeane, and then as Private Secretary (1972-1977), the culmination of his role was his central involvement in the Queen’s Silver Jubilee celebrations of 1977. Upon his retirement in 1977 he became Provost of Eton College, and was appointed permanent Lord-in-Waiting and Life Peer as Baron Charteris of Amisfield, created on 7 February 1978, comprising: Orders and Decorations: The Most Excellent Order of the Bath (Civil Division), Grand Cross set of insignia by Garrard & Co., comprising sash badge, in silver-gilt, bearing hallmarks for London dated 1940, and breast star, in silver gilt and enamels, in fitted case of issue; The Royal Victorian Order, Grand Cross set of insignia by Collingwood, comprising sash badge, in silver-gilt and enamels, and breast star, in silver, silver-gilt and enamels, both numbered ‘952’ to reverse, in fitted case of issue; France, Legion d’Honneur, Grand Officer’s set of insignia by Arthus Bertrand, Paris, comprising officer’s breast badge in gold and enamels (minor enamel loss in lower part), and breast star in silver, both bearing hallmarks, in fitted case of issue; Medal Group: Queen’s Service Order, in silver and enamels, reverse engraved (Martin Michael Charles Charteris); with original box of issue; The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, Officer’s breast badge, in silver; 1939-1945 Star; Africa Star, with clasp ‘8th Army’; Italy Star; Defence and War Medals, the latter with bronze M.i.D. spray of oak leaves; General Service Medal, 1918-62, single clasp, Palestine 1945-48 (Major.

O.B.E.: London Gazette: 13 June, 1946 M.V.O.: London Gazette: 1 June, 1953 (Coronation Honours) C.B.: London Gazette: 12 June, 1958 K.C.V.O.: London Gazette: 2 June, 1962 (Birthday Honours) K.C.B: London Gazette: 3 June, 1972 (Birthday Honours) G.C.V.O.: London Gazette: 1 January, 1976 (New Year Honours) G.C.B.: London Gazette: 11 August, 1977 Q.S.O.: London Gazette: 31 December 1977 Royal Victorian Chain: London Gazette: 7 July, 1992. Martin Michael Charles Charteris was born on 7 September 1913 at Halkin Place, London, the second son of Hugo Francis Charteris, Lord Elcho, and Lady Violet Catherine Manners. Educated at Eton College, and at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, he received a commission as Second Lieutenant in the King’s Royal Rifle Corps on 31 August 1933, being promoted to Lieutenant on 31 August 1936, and serving in the jungle in Burma in 1937. Soon after the outbreak of war in 1939, he was left temporarily paralyzed by a tropical virus (then called ‘Nile Rheumatism’) in Egypt, and in the process of returning back to Britain from Gibraltar to convalesce in October 1939, he was playing chess on deck with his Doctor when the hospital ship Yorkshire was torpedoed in the Bay of Biscay. He was nearly drowned as he was dragged underwater, having only recently regained any strength at all after his paralysis. Somehow surfacing he was rescued by a life raft and eventually picked up (as recorded in his account published in the Sunday Express of 25 February 1940) by an American vessel. Being neutral at this stage in war, the American ship was carefully inspected by the U-Boat but was in the end left alone. After his recovery, he returned to active service in North Africa in 1941, taking command of ‘A’ Company, 2nd Battalion, K.R.R.C. – part of the 7th Motor Brigade. His battalion saw a great deal of fighting against Rommel’s famous Africa Corps in and around Tobruk, el-Alamein, and at the Battle of Gazala, with his unit fighting in direct support of British M3 Grant tanks. In one of his wartime letters, he wrote: ‘The Gazala Line was like a shield held out in front of Tobruk, El Adem, and the coastal communications; its right rested on the coast, but its left, as must always be the case in Libya, hung open and undefended in the great desert to the south. It seemed highly improbable that the enemy would sweep south of Hacheim with his armour. We went east pretty fast…It was like General Post. There were British columns and German ones, cannoning off each other like blindfolded people: you could see the lolloping Verey lights, and like a bass string accompaniment you could hear as a background to everything the grunting, coughing, mumbling of the Panzers rolling east…The battle swung to and fro and for many days hung in the balance; indeed at one time we came so near to a great victory that I can hardly bear to think of what might have been. For my own part, I swung to and fro with the battle. For several days I was around Hacheim, and was filled with admiration for the Free French. I was at El Adem, Knightsbridge, on the edge of the Cauldron, and for two wild days behind the enemy at Mteifel.’ He was promoted to Captain on 31 August 1941, and continued to serve in WW2, being mentioned in despatches on 24 June 1943, promoted to Major on 7 September 1944, to Acting Colonel on 27 January 1945, and Acting Brigadier on 27 February 1945. In his personal life at this time, he married Hon. Gay Margesson, the daughter of David Margesson, 1st Viscount Margesson, on 16 December 1944, at Jerusalem. Returning to military service, it is likely his latter wartime career was spent serving in an Intelligence capacity. After a period of work as an Instructor at Haifa Staff College, he was appointed Chief of Military Intelligence (G.S.I) in Palestine between September 1945 and September 1946, which included a good deal of counter-terrorism work undertaken against the ‘Lehi’ Zionist Paramilitary Organisation (known in British circles as ‘the Stern Gang’). ....For further information please see the catalogue pdf on www.mortonandeden.com
