* The Indian Mutiny Medal awarded to Major Herbert Mackworth Clogstoun, V.C., 19th Madras Native Infantry, who, on 15 January 1859, led a charge against a rebel band with only eight men of his regiment and although severely wounded himself and losing seven of the eight men in the engagement, forced the rebels into the town and caused them to abandon their plunder. Indian Mutiny 1857-58, no clasp (Mjr H M. Clogston [sic], V.C, 2nd Regt of Cavy Hyd Contigt.), correctly named in medium serifed capitals, the ‘j’ of ‘Mjr’ only visible under a glass, edge bruise but otherwise nearly extremely fineQty: (1)NOTESV.C. London Gazette 21 October 1859: 'For conspicuous bravery in charging the Rebels into Chichumbah with only eight men of his Regiment (the 2nd Cavalry, Hyderabad Contingent), compelling them to re-enter the Town, and finally to abandon their plunder. He was severely wounded himself, and lost seven out of the eight men who accompanied him.' Major Herbert Mackworth Clogstoun (1820-1862) was born in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad, commissioned into the Madras Army on 15 January 1838, and remained with the 19th Madras N.I. until 1856 when he was transferred as Second-in-Command of the 2nd Cavalry, Hyderabad Contingent. On 15 January 1859, Clogstoun and his men were part of Brigadier Hill's Berar Field Force searching for rebels about 35 miles from Hingoli, the depot of the Hyderabad Contingent, and they caught up with a 400 strong rebel band at the village of Chichumbah. He was promoted to Major and received his Victoria Cross, in one of the last batches of awards for the Mutiny, at an investiture held at Madras on 19 January 1860. He took command of his regiment in September 1861 but was killed in action six months later at Hingoli on 6 May 1862. Clogstoun is buried in Madras Cemetery. Cataloguer's Notes Clogstoun's medal entitlement is for the Victoria Cross, Indian Mutiny medal and India General Service 1854, one clasp Pegu, and this group is held in the collection of the National Army Museum, London. It should be noted however that the Mutiny medal held by NAM has been physically examined prior to this sale and has not only been officially renamed, but in a clumsy and surprisingly careless manner. The careful examination of the NAM example therefore confirms conclusively that two authentic Mutiny medals were issued to Clogstoun, the probable reason being that on the first medal – that which is offered in this catalogue – his surname had been spelt incorrectly. The medal offered here is also an unusual and very early example of the addition of ‘V.C.’ within the official naming.

The book is also accompanied by a typed affidavit signed by one James Hugh Munro of Rondebosch, South Africa, dated 26 May 2004, reading: 'This book was given to me in the late 1950's by Mrs Gericke, the elderly widow of Dr O M Gericke. She told me that the corrections had been made personally by Churchill when [s]he and her husband were passengers together ona boat between India an England shortly after the publication of the book'. Other correspondence sold with this copy indicates that it was acquired by Alan Taylor-Smith from one Kate Philipson of Rondenbosch (of the neighbouring address to Munro's) in June 2005.

The Ex-Midge Wilby, 1939 Scottish RAC Rally1937 Atalanta 2-Litre SportsRegistration no. HMX 957Chassis no. 1011Engine no. 1009•One of only two short-chassis cars of fewer than 20 produced•One of only two with the Gough 2-litre engine•Present ownership since 2007•Le Mans Classic eligibleFootnotes:A short-lived but highly regarded manufacturer, Atalanta Motors of Staines, Middlesex was the brainchild of Alfred Gough, designer of the overhead-camshaft Frazer Nash engine. Gough was joined in his new venture by another ex-FN employee, draughtsman Peter Crosby, while financial backing came principally from undergraduates Peter Whitehead and Neil Watson, the former a future Le Mans winner and the latter heir to the Burma Oils fortune. Other luminaries of the British Motor industry that played a part in the Atalanta story include Wally Hamill (Dunlop and Morris); Eric Scott (Specialoid pistons); A C Bertelli (ex-Aston Martin); and Dennis Poore (Manganese Bronze Holdings and Norton Villiers Triumph). Founded in 1937, the firm specialised in hand built sports cars of advanced design; the exclusive and expensive Atalantas being unique among British cars of their day in featuring all-independent coil-sprung suspension. The channel-section steel chassis was a substantial, X-braced affair, while the use of Hiduminium alloy for the suspension links and Elektron magnesium alloy for the huge (16'-diameter) Lockheed hydraulically operated brake drums helped keep un-sprung weight to a minimum. Gough four-cylinder engines powered the majority of Atalantas, not that there were many; indeed, it is estimated that no more than 20 cars of all types were built. The Gough engine was available in two capacities: 1.6 (78bhp) and 2.0 litres (98bhp), while in 1938 the company added a Lincoln Zephyr V12-powered 4.3-litre model to the range. Whatever the engine, the Atlanta's performance was excellent, thanks in no small part to its lightweight construction, and many of the cars enjoyed successful competition careers. Most were bodied by Atalanta's neighbours, E D Abbott of Farnham. Sadly, the outbreak of WW2 curtailed development of these exciting designs, and the Atalanta marque was not revived after the war's end. Survivors are exceedingly rare. One of only two short-chassis models, 'HMX 957' was originally owned by Miss M V 'Midge' Wilby, one of Atalanta's directors, who competed in rallies and trials with considerable success. This car was delivered with the 2-litre Gough engine and is the second of the three Atalantas owned by Midge Wilby. Reportedly, the adventurous Miss Wilby entered an Atalanta in the 1938 Monte Carlo Rally only to have her entry rejected on the grounds that the firm had built too few cars to be eligible. She drove a Lancia Aprilia instead. Another of Atalanta's financial backers, Midge Wilby ran a quasi 'works' team of these cars for herself and her friends, of which 'HMX 957' was one. In 1939 the Atalanta team won the manufacturers' team prize in the SWAC Welsh Rally. In 1939, The Light Car road-tested another of Midge Wilby's Atalantas ('JMC 973') for an article in its 7th April edition, declaring: 'road holding is beyond criticism: rough, almost colonial sections can be treated like main roads. The Atalanta has the tenacious quality of a racing car when cornering, and it is nearly impossible to cause the tyres to squeal'. That same year, 'HMX 957' was entered in the Scottish RAC Rally as part of a three-car team driven by a Mr A E Crosby, and contemporary press cuttings and photographs of the car in action may be found in the history file. What happened to the Atalanta immediately thereafter is not known, the next ownership record on file being an old-style continuation logbook (issued 1950) which records a change of engine rating/size from 13.9 to 24.9 horsepower, and a change of colour from blue to green. The penultimate change of owner is dated 1963. The last change in the logbook, Ryan Hodges of Woodcote, Reading, is also recorded as owner in a list of 14 Atalanta cars ('HMX 957' being one of only two 2.0-litre Gough-engined examples). The car is stated as being fitted with a Bristol engine at time of purchase by Mr Hodges. It is also stated that a correct Gough engine was 'now being assembled'. Some time later 'HMX 957' went to Sweden and is mentioned as resident there in a letter on file from Midge Wilby dated 3rd February 1985. Chronologically, the next significant piece of this car's history is its appearance in a UK auction in February 1996 (catalogue entry on file), it being stated at that time that the Atalanta was offered fresh from a major restoration carried out between 1993 and 1995, which included fitting a Ford V8 'flat head' engine. Its owner at that time would appear to have been Mr Werner Oswald of Brocton, Staffordshire (recorded as previous keeper in the old-style V5C on file). Its purchaser in February 1996 was Mr Craig Davis of Pebble Beach, California, who immediately commissioned TT Workshops of Westbury, Wiltshire to undertake a full restoration, including the sourcing and installation of a correct 2.0-litre Gough engine, one being found in Switzerland (see correspondence and detailed bills on file). The Atalanta appears to have next changed hands in 2007 when it was offered for sale by Mr Patrick Ryan of California at a US auction and purchased shortly thereafter by the current owner. In the vendor's own words: 'The car was immaculate when we purchased it – reflected in its having recently won the Cartier Style et Luxe at Goodwood and being displayed and sold at Pebble Beach in 2007. It is presented in similarly immaculate condition now.' Whilst in current ownership the Atalanta has benefited from the expert attention of the renowned Le Riche Automobile Restorers, who have carried out further major refurbishment works since its acquisition (bills on file). More recently (November 2019) 'HMX 957' was inspected and mechanically refreshed by Atalanta Motor Cars Ltd, the main focus of the work being to ensure the brakes, steering, and suspension operated safely. The bodywork was re-polished and detailed, and the car then remained in covered storage for some months prior to collection.The engine was serviced (including fresh oil) and set-up to run properly, which it did, and the car was then test-driven for no more than three miles. As the Atalanta was again likely to stand for some time in the client's collection, the cooling system was drained as precaution. (At the time of cataloguing it was noted there was some emulsification in the oil, which we understand is due to porosity in the block. This will likely need rectification prior to serious road use.)The Atalanta has seen only limited use while forming part of the vendor's private collection, covering only some 100 miles since acquisition. It was displayed at the Credit Suisse motoring event in Jersey in 2008 and at the Hampton Court Concours in 2014 but has not been rallied or used on events. It was a very personal acquisition that was, due to its age, admired as a piece of automotive art and displayed in the music room of the owner's house. Exotic, advanced, and exceedingly rare, the mythical Atalanta is rightfully considered by many enthusiasts to be the 'Holy Grail' among British pre-war sports cars.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
