A British Colonial Sudan Defence Force pith or sun helmet, circa 1925-32, manufactured by Lawn & Alder, London, the olive green topee helmet with dark brown leather strap, an SDF badge (unmarked but likely silver), purple flash and tan plume; and another 'Comfortilet' pith helmet by Charles Owen & Co London, possibly First World War era, with later attached Baden Powell Scouts enamel badge; sold together with a Sudan Defence Force ticket exchange voucher and a photocopy of a group portrait showing Clarke on retreat (wearing the lighter grey jacket) (4) Provenance: Captain Samuel Charles Robert Lane Clarke, later Reverend Clarke (b. 25th August, 1891) After service as a Lieutenant in the Mesopotamian Campaign with the Wiltshire Regiment in the First World War, Clarke was offered the job of Staff Captain for Embarkation duties at Lines of Communication H.Q. at Basra and remained at Margil until May 1920. After six months of leave in the UK, he joined the 1st Btn Wiltshire Regt at Royal Barracks Dublin in November 1920, during which time he worked as escort and guard of the Viceroy. When the Irish Free State came into existence in December 1921, and British troops were withdrawn from Ireland, Clarke spent time in Lucknow Barrows in Tidworth until 1925.When trouble broke out in Egypt and the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, it was decided to return to Egypt all the Egyptian Regiments serving in the Sudan and to form the Sudan Defence Force. This was to be recruited from natives of the Sudan, with Sudani officers in the junior ranks and British officers in the rank of Major and above. Clarke applied to be seconded to this new force and the first contract was for three years. With five other British officers, he left for Port Sudan on the Bibby Line S.S Gloucestershire. On arrival in Khartoum, they stayed at the Sudan Club pending posting – which initially was a temporary posting to the prison at Khartoum North as assistant to the Governor. Six weeks later, he was posted to the 13th Sudanese Regiment at Wau in Southern Sudan about 1000 miles from Khartoum. Wau was the headquarters of the Bahr el Gazell Province and was described by Clarke as a pleasant enough station with red brick buildings of the bungalow type, despite being in an area prone to thunderstorms and lightning strikes which killed locals each year. Once the Officer’s Mess was struck and a length of the veranda was demolished. Clarke was then posted to the Western Arab Corps in Darfur next to the French Equatorial Territory now called Chad, which he described as his happiest time in the region. He passed the Preliminary and Intermediate Exams in Arabic and subsequently took independent command of native troops at Geneina station. This consisted of a modern red brick Fort with underground water tanks and a grain store in the event of it being besieged.The fort was manned by a company of Infantry as a garrison and a company of Mounted Infantry to act as a striking force from the Fort to deal with any trouble in the area of Dar Masalite. Major Beacher of the Royal Artillery was Second in Command and achievements during this time included the building of a new aerodrome. After completing his third contract with the Sudan government, totalling seven years, he returned to his regiment after reaching the maximum secondment time allowed (ten years). Sold together with an extensive photocopied type-written biography covering 12 pages covering his career in full.
