During the Great War, he became a Lieutenant in the RAMC, being swiftly promoted to the rank of Temporary Captain.

(3) MID London Gazette 22.08.1918 – ‘for distinguished service in the field in connection with the campaign in German South West Africa, 1914-15’ Charles Neville De Wet Budler, of Cradock, South Africa, enlisted for service in the Great War 1 November 1914, as a Second Lieutenant with the 10th Dismounted Rifles, part of the 4th Mounted Brigade, South-West African Force. This force, under the command of the famous Boer leader General Louis Botha, executed a swift and early defeat against German opposition forces in German South West Africa, and with remarkably low casualties. This was viewed as one of the first major allied successes in WWI, culmination in the surrender of this German colony, later granted independence as Namibia. During this campaign, Lieutenant Charles Neville De Wet Budler was mentioned in despatches ‘for his exemplary conduct and (the) efficient manner in which he executed his duty’ during this rather under-examined campaign. His service papers show that he was later made Assistant Camp Commandant at Roberts Heights (a garrison town), and assisted with recruitment towards the latter stages of the war in 1918. He appears to have served between WWI and possibly into WW2, with his gravestone recording the following: ‘In Loving Memory of My Son Capt. Charles Neville De Wet Budler, Staff Officer to Regiment In Permanent Force Defence in 1933, Retired Owing to ill health, Died 8th December 1944.’ His brother, Arthur Harold De Wet Budler studied at Edinburgh University and was a member of the OTC there, and later served as a Captain in the South African Medical Corps. Captain C N DeW Budler’s next of kin is listed as Mrs S R Garlake, Standard Bank, Cradock, South Africa. Sold with copy service papers, despatch mention and some research.

Philip Edward Harding was born c.1876 in Frome, Somerset, and worked prior to WWI as a Chartered Accountant as shown on the 1911 Census. He served in WWI with the 1st/16th Londons, taking part in the early fighting with the British Expeditionary Force in 1914, being wounded in December that year. He was awarded the Military Cross 14 January 1916 whilst a Lieutenant (temp. Captain), and by 18 November 1916 was promoted to Lieutenant (Acting Colonel) whilst commanding a Battalion, showing that he was given the responsibility of command very quickly, perhaps owing to his seniority at the age of 40. In July 1917 he was seconded to the position of Deputy Assistant Director of Labour with the Head Quarters of Administration Services and Departments, most likely given his years of experience as a Chartered Accountant. In 1918 he was again seconded as Assistant Contractor of Salvage. He was awarded the OBE in July 1919, and appears to have returned to work as an accountant with the firm ‘James Edwards & Co.’. Sold with copy MIC and London Gazette mentions, which show his contact address as 28 Badge Row, Cannon Street, EC4, London’. Worthy of further research.
