Lot 93
A WW1 medal pair, bronze cap badge, autograph book, and period photographs, relating to 266153 Pte Ernest George Ewens of the Hertfordshire Regiment, and later the Bedfordshire Regiment. To include: the British War Medal, Victory Medal, period bronze Herts Regiment cap badge on slider, a WW1 era autograph book, containing poems, illustrations and greetings from various soldiers, and various WW1 period photographs of Pte Ewens in uniform. Notes: Pte Ewens’ medal entitlement is confirmed as being the pair only. Contemporary records would suggest that he was part of the territorial force. in the Bedfordshire & Hertfordshire Regiment. A couple of the photographs included would indicate that he was a music9na in the regiment, as in one image he is pictured holding a trumpet, and another shows him holding a bugle. Another image shows a group of drummers, but it’s uncertain whether Pte Ewens is in this image. Information supplied by the vendor states that Ernest was born in Wood Green, on November 23rd 1897. He enlisted just before his 17th birthday, in 1914, and spent 2 years serving with a Home Service (TF) unit. After attaining the required age, Ernest was sent overseas for service in France & Flanders. He joined the regimental brass band, which managed to excuse him from some of the dreary trench duties. The autograph book is named and dated November 23rd 1914, seemingly a birthday present from his parents. It contains amusing rhymes and poems, written by fellow soldiers, plus some illustrations of camps, particularly from the 30th Company Grenadier Guards. Condition: generally good. Both are in good clean condition, with a good level of detail still present. The medals are both complete with their original ribbons, but these are a little frayed. The photograph are all good, as is the cap badge. The autograph book has a couple of loose pages, but is otherwise good.
Lot 200
A WW1 era 1916 dated military issued bugle. Manufactured in copper and brass, with the manufacturers mark of Thomas Dawkins & Co of 205-207 City Road, London. Broad arrow marked and dated 1916. There is a period card label attached which suggests that it may have been sold on behalf of a WW1 services fund for the Leicestershire areas of Earl Shilton, Elmsthorpe and Thurlaston, which are all close to the Leicestershire / Warwickshire border town of Hinckley. The reverse of the label is hand written, and states that it was ‘Given by Mrs M Belton, Hallington…Kings Lynn. Notes: Thomas Dawkins & Co may have been the retailer, rather than the manufacturer of the item, with some sources suggesting that bugles stamped by Dawkins could have been Indian made. Approximately 26.3cm length. Condition: a very well used, but original WW1 example. Many areas having dents, and some crude soldering to the bend near the mouthpiece. It’s unclear whether dents are service wear or simply from poor storage.
