The rare Great War ‘East Africa operations’ D.S.M. group of six awarded to Chief Petty Officer 1st Class, later Wing Commander, W. Dickison, 8 Squadron, Royal Naval Air Service and Royal Air Force Distinguished Service Medal, G.V.R. (272318. W. Dickison, C.P.O. 1Cl. R.N.A.S. E. Africa. 1917.) surname officially corrected; 1914-15 Star (272318 W. Dickison. C.P.O. 3, R.N.); British War and Victory Medals (2. Lieut. W. Dickison. R.A.F.); Defence and War Medals 1939-45, mounted on card for display, generally very fine (6) £1,800-£2,200 --- D.S.M. London Gazette 16 March 1918. Approximately 10 D.S.M.’s awarded for East Africa during the Great War. William Dickison was born in Jarrow-on-Tyne, County Durham in December 1890. He joined the Royal Navy as a Boy in January 1907, and advanced to Engine Room Artificer 4th Class in April 1912. Dickison’s service papers give ‘Air Service from 18 Dec. 1913’, and he advanced to Chief Petty Officer Mechanic in July 1914, and to Chief Petty Officer in January 1915. The activities of the R.N.A.S. in East Africa are splendidly recorded in considerable detail in the Cross and Cockade Journal - a series of 3 articles throughout 2007 entitled R.N.A.S. Operations in German East Africa 1914-1918 by Air Vice-Marshal Peter Dye confirm Dickison’s presence with No. 8 R.N.A.S. Squadron from 22 March 1916 - January 1918. His record of service confirms similar service with H.M. Ships Laconia, Manica and Hyacinth, all vessels operating in that theatre at that time. One item in the diary of events recorded in the above mentioned articles states: “Somewhat violent explosion of petrol down at the hangar this evening. CPO Dickison sustained rather severe burns but was otherwise unhurt. The report was as loud as a canon.” On the formation of the Royal Air Force, 1 April 1918, Dickison’s grade of W.O. 2 saw his automatic commissioning in the rank of Second Lieutenant (Technical Branch). He advanced to Flying Officer in October 1919, and was posted to No. 1 School of Technical Training, Halton in April 1920. Dickison advanced to Flight Lieutenant in October 1927, and was posted for service at R.A.F. Base Malta (202 Squadron, Flying Boats). Subsequent postings included with the Inland Water Transport Unit, Basrah, Iraq in September 1929. Dickison advanced to Squadron Leader in April 1937, and served at the Home Aircraft Depot in the same year. He advanced to Wing Commander in September 1940, and was retired 17 December 1940 (his 50th birthday), only to be re-employed in the same rank the following day. Wing Commander Dickison retired from the Service, 27 December 1944. Sold with copied service papers, and research.

Bheshtee (Water carrier).With a similar watercolour bound between numbers 22 and 23, titled Hindoostanee Lady, signed 'Zayn al-Abidin musawwir [painter]', 19 x 15.5cm, Qajar-style, heightened with gum arabicNote: Note: A major collection of watercolours by one of the leading practitioners of ‘Company School’ painting for European patrons in 19th-century India. The only sets of any comparable extent which we can identify are a group in the British Library comprising 17 pictures of servants, castes, and tradesmen (Add. Or. 171-187), and the famous Holroyd album, produced for Calcutta merchant Thomas Holroyd, given by him to the Oriental Club in 1839, sold by them in 1961 and now dispersed.Acknowledged as 'by far the most talented and original' of all Calcutta painters specialising in work for the British (Archer, 1972), Shaykh Muhammad enjoyed an enthusiastic following among the city's colonial elite in the second quarter of the 19th century. In 1844 the traveller Fanny Parkes purchased a set of paintings evidently similar to the present album, publishing versions of the serkar, burkundaz and the Bengali water carrier in her 1850 travel memoir, Wanderings of a Pilgrim in Search of the Picturesque.In 2019-20 Shaykh Muhammad's work featured in the Forgotten Masters exhibition of Company School paintings at the Wallace Collection, London, at which six of his paintings were shown. William Dalrymple, historian of British India and curator of the exhibition, paid tribute to his inimitable fusion of European and Indian techniques:‘The Shaykh was equally at home painting a Palladian house or thoroughbred horse, a group of dhobis or a pair of dogs. His single figures are sometimes shown in the Mughal tradition, in profile … but when he wished to, the Shaykh could paint in a more European style than any of his rivals, with low horizons and expanses of blank white space that no Mughal artist would have allowed. He had completely mastered perspective, foreshortening and shading, giving his work a realism and naturalism unique among Indian artists of his generation. Yet while in anatomical accuracy his horse portraits can stand comparison even with Stubbs, there is still an indefinable Indian warmth about his work, a Mughal application of the heart as well as the head'.Unlike his contemporary in Vellore, Yellapah, Shaykh Muhammad is not known to have produced a self-portrait, and little is known of his life or background. His paintings, however, have provoked speculation on his potentially ambivalent attitude towards to his patrons, who are either omitted entirely or, if they are present, are shown with their faces artfully concealed. One such painting, his depiction of a palanquin with a partially visible British passenger, is found in the present album (item 9). If this figure is indeed Thomas Holroyd, as stated in the Forgotten Masters catalogue, Shaykh Muhammad apparently had no reservations about reproducing the likeness for other customers.Provenance: By family repute acquired by Edward Green Balfour (1813-1889), surgeon and naturalist in India; thence by descent. Balfour travelled to India in 1834 as an assistant surgeon in the Madras medical service, and ended his career as surgeon-general in the presidency. An acknowledged polymath, he wrote on subjects including Indian languages and literature and forestry in addition to medicine. His most influential work in his own day was his Enyclopaedia of India and Southern Asia, published at Madras in 1857. Today he is also remembered for his pioneering ecological writings, which explored what he believed to be the 'direct relationship between deforestation, climatic change, and environmental degradation' (ODNB).Literature:Mildred Archer, Company Drawings in the India Office Library (1972), p. 76, cf. catalogue numbers 59-61.idem, Company Paintings: Indian Paintings of the British Period (1992), cat. nos. 80-82.William Dalrymple, ed., Forgotten Masters: Indian Painting for the East India Company (2019), pp. 17 and 122-131, cat. nos. 66-71.
