A British War Medal awarded to Second Lieutenant J. A. Chrystie, Royal Scots Fusiliers, who was captured and killed, 28 October 1914 british War Medal 1914-20 (2 Lieut. J. A. Chrystie) nearly extremely fine £80-100 James Alexander Chrystie was born on 30 May 1888 and lived at 18 South Crescent, Ardrossan, Scotland. His parents were James Brown and Elma Eliva Chrystie. He was educated at the Ardrossan Academy and Glasgow University. He was a member of the Ardrossan School Cadet Corps, which was affiliated to the 1st Volunteer Battalion Royal Garrison Artillery. In 1907 he was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in the 1st V. B. Royal Garrison Artillery and was promoted to Captain in 1908. On 19 November 1913 he was commissioned as a Special Reserve Officer in the 3rd Battalion Royal Scots Fusiliers. By September 1914 he had passed the Matriculation Examination to gain entry to Glasgow University and was in his fifth year of Medical Training. He was immediately ‘called up’ and was attached to the 2nd Battalion Royal Scots Fusiliers. the 2nd Battalion had returned from Gibraltar in 1914 and were quickly sent to Flanders in October 1914 to join the ‘Contemptible Little Army’. They were part of 21 Brigade, 7th Division and took a major part in the heroic defence of Gheluvelt during the First Battle of Ypres. At this battle, ‘The 2nd RSF were reduced to a mere handful of men commanded by a subaltern, but held their place in the Line’. During this period Lieutenant Chrystie came to notice by utilizing his medical skills to bandage wounded soldiers. His Adjutant, later wrote, ‘This skill saved many lives’. at 6am on 28 October 1914 Lieutenant Chrystie was sent out in command of a patrol to make contact with the battalion on their right flank near Gorndvoorde, 5 miles East of Ypres. He returned from this patrol and at 9am set out again with a second patrol with the same mission. In the patrol, Privates Hill and Douglas acted as ‘Point’ followed by Lieutenant Chrystie. Following Chrystie were Corporal Richardson and three other soldiers of the 2nd Battalion including Private Harman. As they moved forward they met and joined with, a patrol of a corporal and three soldiers from the Royal Warwickshire Regiment. suddenly, according to Private Hardman, they ‘got into a trap’ and Lieutenant Chrystie, the two soldiers on ‘point’ and the four soldiers from the Royal Warwickshire Regiment were taken prisoner. Private Hardman hid in a ruined church but saw that Lieutenant Chrystie was unwounded but standing up with his revolver in his hand. He then saw Chrystie and the six soldiers being marched away as prisoners. on their return to the Battalion, Corporal Richardson and Privates Elliot and Hardman reported the incident to Sergeant J. McBain and their Company Commander, Captain J. C. Whigram. Captain Whigram initially thought that James Chrystie had either ‘been hit’ or had become separated from his patrol and had stayed with the Household Cavalry who were in the area. He did however send out a patrol to look for Lieutenant Chrystie and his soldiers, but this was unsuccessful. On 30 October 1914 Chrystie was officially reported as ‘Missing 28th October 10am while on patrol taken prisoner unwounded with 6 men’. the parents of Lieutenant Chrystie then made strenuous efforts to discover the whereabouts of their son. His Mother first met Captain Whigram in London, then his Father, Mr James Brown Chrystie, who was now Provost of Ardrossan, met Captain Whigram in Greenock. Captain Whigram consistently stated that when he interviewed the remaining soldiers of Christie's patrol, they all said that Chrystie had been unwounded when he was captured. Provost Chrystie then contacted Sergeant McBain who wrote that Private Elliot had no doubt that Chrystie was captured without being wounded and was standing untouched in any way. Provost Chrystie then interviewed Private Hardman, who had subsequently been wounded, who also confirmed that Mr Chrystie was unwounded and had been made a prisoner with the six other soldiers. The Army then officially interviewed Private Hardman and on 7 March 1915 a Captain Stanton wrote to Provost Chrystie confirming that the evidence all pointed to the conclusion that Mr Chrystie was unwounded when he had been marched away as a prisoner. On 5 August 1915 Provost Christie wrote to the Military Secretary asking for information as to whether his son was a prisoner of war or killed. The American Authorities in Berlin passed this request to the German Government who on 30 September 1915 sent a ‘Note Verbale’ which stated that at the beginning of March 1915 while deepening the bed of the road from Tenbrieler to Zandvoosde, the body of an English soldier had been found by a working party. The body had been reburied due west of the road, but apart from an identification disc - ‘Chrystie J.A. 21 Pres. RSF’ nothing further was found on the body. On 14 December 1915, Provost Chrystie was informed by the War Office that as the identity disc of his son had been forwarded by the German Government through the American Embassy ‘the death of 2/Lieut. Chrystie has now been accepted for official purposes as having occurred on or since 30th October 1914, the date he was reported missing’. james Alexander Christie's body was not recovered and his name is on the Ypres (Menin Gate) Memorial. His name is also on the Ardrossan Academy Roll of Honour that is sited in the Assembly Hall, and is on the Roll of Honour of Glasgow University and the Town War Memorial of Ardrossan.

Having no known grave, his name is commemorated on the Ypres (Menin Gate) Memorial. private Frederick D. Pollard, Canadian Army Medical Corps, was killed in action on 27 June 1918 when the ship on which he was travelling - the Llandovery Castle - was torpedoed and sunk by a German submarine. The ship was en-route from Halifax, Nova Scotia to Liverpool, carrying 258 souls, of whom 94 were medical staff of the C.A.M.C. At 21.30 on 27 June, some 114 miles west of Fastnet, the Llandovery Castle, despite being emblazoned with the Red Cross sign, was torpedoed by the German submarine U-86 commanded by Captain Patzig. Lifeboats were got away and with the weather calm there was every expectation that the many survivors would be quickly rescued. However this was not to be, as the submarine surfaced and proceeded to fire at the helpless lifeboats. At dawn the next day, only one boat containing 24 survivors remained afloat. Captain Sylvester of the Llandovery Castle was one of the 24; Private Pollard was one of the 234 who lost their lives. His name is commemorated on the Halifax Memorial.

An exceedingly well-documented and poignant Great War group of three awarded to 2nd Lieutenant W. H. Blades, The Rifle Brigade, late Honourable Artillery Company (Infantry), who was killed in action in May 1917 1914-15 Star (4130 Pte., H.A.C.); British War and Victory Medals (2 Lieut.), in their card forwarding boxes and registered envelope, virtually as issued (3) £2000-3000 William Henry ‘Harry’ Blades was born in September 1897 and was employed as a clerk at a bank in Kensington on the outbreak of hostilities in August 1914. Having then considered the merits of whether to apply for a commission, and indeed which regiment to join, he attested in the Honourable Artillery Company (H.A.C.) in August 1915, and was embarked for France as a Private in ‘C’ Company, 3rd H.A.C. Infantry Battalion, at the end of the year. For the first few months his unit was employed on garrison duty at St. Omer, but by the summer of 1916, his letters home reveal service of a more active nature on the Somme: ‘We are getting r ady to spend the next few days in a manner not at all comfortable and free from care. I never knew I was so fond of life until recently, when there seemed a chance of losing it ... It seems absolutely absurd to think so many men should be formed up along the line trying to kill each other; and the sun shining overhead, birds singing and green woods in the distance ... The trench mortars are one of the most worrying inventions. They are fired from the trenches, and go high up into the air, dropping somewhere near the trench. You can see them dropping and have to run up and down dodging them, which might be quite interesting if the things didn’t explode with such force.’ Shortly after these operations, Blades applied for a commission and was despatched to a Cadet School, but fell ill with jaundice. It was not, therefore, until February 1917 that he was finally appointed a 2nd Lieutenant in the 8th Battalion of his favoured regiment - the Rifle Brigade. And towards the end of the following month, his unit moved up to the front line: ‘Things are not so pleasant now; and in a few hours we shall be in the trenches, some of the many Fritz has presented us with. If they are the same as the villages he has left, he can keep them. I have just seen one of them, and it is as desolate a sight as one can imagine - not a vestige of a building - just a gate or railings here and there ... It is awfully noisy here ... This morning we had a unique and rather touching sight of an aeroplane catching fire. The pilot lived to reach the ground, but gradually the flames gained until the plane shrivelled up and dropped. We could see the pilot throw himself out ... My respect for the Church of England has gone; and with the influence of the War, I have become materialistic - everything is chance. If you and a shell arrive at the same place together, that is chance.’ At long last, for he had not been home to Gateshead since he had been embarked for France at the end of 1915, Blades was given 10 days leave at Easter 1917 - ‘I am glad I had eave,’ he wrote on returning to his unit, ‘It won’t be quite so bad now I have seen everybody I wanted to.’ Just a few days later, on 3 May, he led his men over the top in a dawn attack near Cheresy. On the 7th, his Company Commander, Captain W. A. Crebbin, wrote to his father: ‘It is with great regret that I have to inform you that your son is wounded and missing. Much as I should like to, I’m afraid I can’t give you any hope for his safety. The Battalion went into action on May 3rd and shortly after we advanced your son was wounded: one of my stretcher bearers bound up his wounds but the stretcher bearer informed me that Blades had been grievously wounded and that there was very little chance of his living. the enemy counter attacked us heavily after our advance and we had to return to our original line and we were unable to get further information concerning your son. To be quite candid, though I hate being so, I’m afraid it is hoping against hope to think otherwise than that he has been killed in action. It is the best death that we are allowed out here, to fall at the head of one’s men; but it is those at home who have the biggest part of the war to bear, and their’s is the aftermath to suffer. i was your son’s Company Officer and though I have only taken over the Company recently, I know his loss will be greatly felt. His men looked up to him, loved him and would have done anything for him. His will be a great loss to the company. if I hear anything further concerning Blades I will contact you immediately, but in any case if there is any way in which I can help you, please don’t hesitate to write. I will do my best.’ Harry Blades has no known grave and is commemorated on the Arras Memorial. He was 21 years old. in addition to the archive described below, his awards are also sold with a wonderful biography of some 30,000 words, written by his sister, in which she draws upon some of his correspondence, in addition to many other family sources. Perhaps most moving of all is her account of the occasion that her brother - on his last leave home - confessed that he would never return: ‘He sought her out in the drawing room, where she was sitting alone in the twilight in front of a glowing fire. He walked round the back of the settee and put his hand on her shoulder. As she clasped it in her own, he said slowly and distinctly, ‘I know that I won’t come back. I want you to remember me and tell your children about me.’ The girl felt a lump rise in her throat and the hot tears well up in her eyes. She knew if she tried to speak she would burst into tears, and she must not do that at all costs. She clung to his hand and inclined her head in reply. Her brother waited for a few seconds, and then abruptly strode out of the room ... She felt she had somehow failed him in his hour of need, and that she ought to have been able to give him some words of comfort; but he had spoken with such grave conviction that no words of hers could have dispelled his gloom.’ It was not until September 1984 that she finally made the pilgrimage o see his name on the Arras Memorial. the Archive: (a) An impressive run of postcards, nearly 60, the whole to his family in Gateshead in the period 1913-15, written prior to his volunteering, and detailing his activities in London, not least many visits to the opera, art exhibitions and museums; together with three letters from the same period, with W.

It is just like waiting for death, but still, we are lucky enough to escape so far, and can safely say it is a game of luck, and trust luck will be with us to the end. .... We are not against a lot of farmers but against a nation of fighting material. One of the most touching events I have seen in this war was in Belgium, in our advance and retirement on and from Mons. .... At one large house, as we advanced on Mons, the family were just leaving, and with eyes much swollen by crying, one young girl, about 22 or 23, unable to hold herself in check, ran forward at the sight of our troops and before we were aware of her intentions, had kissed several of us on both cheeks. That sort of thing tends to touch even the hardest of hearts. The people of Belgium behaved to us splendidly. Never to my dying day shall I forget their kindness. .... the Germans ... They looted everything and everywhere; hardly a house escaped their evil work .... but as we got further, instead of household things lying about, it was the Germans themselves lying in all directions. At first it appears rather a ghastly sight - but one has to get used to more than this - things I am not allowed to speak of. .... Still, it is surprising how the boys keep up their spirits. It is beautiful to see and hear them; there is plenty of life in them. We are all the same; set faces one minute, joking and laughing the next. ... Jack and I are still side by side. We are both all gay. The Winter will be awful, I bet, it is terrible at nights now ....’ £750-£850
