A George V silver cased and two-tone pink striped enamel boudoir mantle clock, by Walker & Hall, Birmingham 1930, the enamel dial with Arabic numerals, French mechanism no. 54150 6, engraved inscription verso, "William Joseph Causton. In Remembrance of his Godfather. William James Bowker. (Brigade General, C. M. G., D. S. O.) Nov 1931" 18 x 15.50cm (7 x 6in) William James Bowker was the son of Frederick Bowker, Barrister-at-Law, of Lincoln's Inn. He was commissioned in the Somerset Light Infantry from the Militia on 21 February 1889. He saw active service in West Africa (1898), taking part in operations in the Niger Territories, and in the South African War (1899-1902). When the European War broke out he was a 45-year old major in the 2nd Battalion Somerset Light Infantry, based at Quetta. Bowker remained in India until January 1916 when he took command of 1/6th Battalion Essex Regiment, part of 161 Brigade, 54th (East Anglian) Division T F, in Egypt. He commanded 1/6th Essex until May 1917 when he became GOC 231 Brigade, 74th (Yeomanry) Division. He fell ill in July 1917. When he returned to duty in February 1918 it was as GOC 230 Brigade. 74th Division was re-deployed to France in April 1918 to help stem the German spring offensive. Bowker was removed from his command within a month of 74th Division being concentrated near Abbeville. Commanders of British formations that were re-deployed from Palestine to the Western Front in 1918 were scrutinised by the Military Secretary's office at GHQ and often replaced simply on age grounds. Bowker was 49. Literature by Dr John Bourne, The Western Front Association.
