Circa 1200 to 500BC. Celtic twisted gold torc. Weight: approximately 103 grams, overall 3 inches in diameter, and 3/8 inch thick , 0.9937 fine gold. Assay stamped `1000` circa 1930 in Germany. Found on the shores of the River Danube, circa 1930 by the present owner`s grandfather, and assay marked at the time in Germany. There are several types of rigid gold and sometimes bronze necklaces and collars of the later European Bronze Age, from around 1200 BC, many of which are classed as torcs"". They are mostly twisted in various conformations, including the ""twisted ribbon"" type, where a thin strip of gold is twisted into a spiral. Other examples twist a bar with a square or X section, or just use round wire, with both types in the three 12th– or 11th-century BC specimens found at Tiers Cross, Pembrokeshire, Wales. The Milton Keynes Hoard, contained two large examples of thicker rounded forms, as also used for bracelets. The quality of gold varied with 24 carat examples, such as this, being an indication of the status and importance of the individual that owned it. For example a hoard found at the Vix grave of a noble woman in France included a 24 carat torc weighing 500g.

See “The Connaught Rangers” by Jourdain and Fraser, Volume II p414 “Lieut Colonel Abercrombie with the Head-quarters party and the small force of about a hundred Other Ranks, mostly of C Company, accompanying the Commanding Officer, was, as Captain Roche (now Major) states, on approaching Le Grand Fayt village between 6 and 7pm, informed by one of the inhabitants that the British troops had withdrawn, and that there were no Germans in the village. This information was false. When entering the village heavy rifle fire was opened suddenly by a strong force of the enemy, concealed in houses and enclosures. Major Sarsfield, with Lieutenant G.E. de Stacpoole, succeeded in making their way through the village, and by taking a by-road eventually rejoined the other companies of the battalion. Lieut-Colonel Abercrombie, with Captain Roche, Lieutenant Hardy and some fifty men also got through the village. They then took up a position about five hundred yards to the west of Le Grand Fayt, which they held until about 7.30 p.m. The position was then outflanked on the right by the enemy and thereupon became untenable. Lieutenant-Colonel Abercrombie now ordered the party to retire, but he had no instructions as to his next course, nor knowledge in what direction the rest of his battalion were to be found. In those circumstances he moved off to the north west, the direction in which he had been previously going. At 8.30 pm the party were again fired at by the enemy from a wood on the south; but, as it was now becoming dark, there was no halt and they pushed on. At 11 pm a peasant informed Lieut-Colonel Abercrombie that English troops were in Maroilles, a small town about a mile distant. That place was made for, and, on entering Maroilles, the party was met by Colonel Thompson, RAMC, in charge of two ambulances, which were just then evacuating the place. Colonel Thompson informed Colonel Abercrombie that there had been fighting in the town on the previous day and the enemy had been driven off. Seeing the worn out condition of the party Colonel Thomspon suggested that the best thing to do was to put the men into a house he had been using as a hospital, where there was plenty of food. English troops, he said, were expected to be back in Maroilles next morning. Lieut-Colonel Abercrombie and thirty men then went into a house that had been used as a French hospital; and Captain Roche, Lieutenant Hardy and nineteen men into the house that had been used as an English hospital. The men were hardly inside the houses when the town filled with Germans, who entered from two different directions. Colonel Thompson who had gone off to rejoin his ambulances, was made a prisoner. The enemy however did not enter the two hospitals that night, although they billeted in the village. At 6 am on August 27th the enemy discovererd the presence of Lieut Colonel Abercrombie and his party, together with five men of other regiments. They had to surrender and were made prisoners, afterwards proceeding with the Germans as far as St Quentin. From there they were sent off to Germany. Captain Roche and his party remained in concealment in outhouses of the English hospital until 7 pm on August 27th. Although numerous forces of the enemy kept marching through Mariolles all day none of the Germans apparently entered the English hospital house until the evening. They then made prisoners of Captain Roche’s party.” Lieut-Colonel Abercrombie remained a Prisoner of War until his death on 5th November 1915 at the age of 50 and was buried at the Berlin South Western Cemetery.A letter from the War Office, addressed to Mrs Abercrombie encloses a translation of her husband’s death certificate which shows cause of death as bladder illness.
