The ‘Maiwand survivor’ Abyssinia and Afghanistan pair awarded to Major-General C. M. Griffith, 1st Bombay Grenadiers, who took over command of his Regiment after Colonel Anderson was severely wounded; when the inexperienced Jacob’s Rifles broke and fled, Griffith was ‘Conspicuous in his Efforts to Steady his Men’ and motivate the Bombay Grenadiers to ‘Fight On’, saving his Regiment’s reputation and averting a total disaster; afterwards he reconstituted a fighting unit from the surviving Grenadiers and commanded it during the Defence of Kandahar City and the subsequent victory at the Battle of Kandahar Abyssinia 1867 (Captn. C. M. Griffith. Bombay Staff Corps); Afghanistan 1878-80, 1 clasp, Kandahar (Lieut. Col. C. M. Griffith. Bo. N.I.) both fitted with contemporary silver riband buckles, nearly extremely fine (2) £4,000-£5,000 --- Charles Matthew Griffith was born at Poona on 19 October 1834, the son of Colonel Julius George Griffith, later General and Colonel Commandant, Bombay Artillery. He was educated at Cheltenham College, nominated as an HEIC Cadet, and passed the Military Committee at East India House on 4 February 1852. After being twice rejected for his weak English and Latin, he was admitted to Addiscombe on 6 August 1852, and commissioned Ensign in the Bombay Infantry on 8 June 1854, at the age of 19. He arrived in Bombay on 23 September 1854 for regimental service with the 1st Bombay Native Infantry (Grenadiers). From June 1859 he was variously employed with the Irregular Cavalry, the Sind Judicial and Police departments, and as Superintendent of Police for the Great Indian Peninsular Railway. The March to Fortress Magdala By 1868, Griffith was a Captain in the Bombay Staff Corps. He was first sent on active service during the Abyssinia Campaign, the most logistically challenging but among the best executed of the British expeditionary wars up to that time. He was given responsibility for organising and commanding ‘A’ Division Highland Transport Train, 1st Brigade of the 1st Division, Abyssinian Field Force. He also commanded the stretcher-bearers who recovered the wounded on 10 and 13 April 1868 from the battlefields of Arogee and Magdala. He was created Brevet Major on 15 August 1868 and was four times Mentioned in Despatches: London Gazette 16 June 1868: ‘The bandsmen and a party of Punjab muleteers were also organised under command of Captain Griffith and furnished with stretchers for the removal of wounded men from the field.’ London Gazette 30 June 1868: ‘Captain Griffith [and other officers] have distinguished themselves by their zeal and activity and deserve special notice.’ London Gazette 10 July 1868: ‘Captain Griffith [and other officers], Land Transport Corps, commanded the first Divisions that were raised, are strongly recommended by the Director of Transport Corps for the extent and value of their assistance.’ London Gazette 7 August 1868: ‘The working of the Train next comes into consideration, which commenced with the arrival of Captain Griffith, with the advance Brigade... The Train was divided into four divisions... and Captain Griffith commenced the formation of “A” Mules... Difficulties and disasters met these officers at every step. Mules landed without equipment in hundreds, and with muleteers of the class already spoken of. At that time these officers having no subordinates had to look to everything themselves... The pleasing task now remains of bringing to the special notice of His Excellency the names of such officers more especially deserving of his kind consideration, and whose efforts came under the personal observation of the Director, who from first to last, never failed... Captain C. M. Griffith, Bombay Staff Corps.’ Griffith was granted furlough to England from 10 October 1868 to 22 November 1870. After marrying and returning to India, he was appointed Brigade Major, Aden in November 1871, promoted Major in June 1874, and Lieutenant-Colonel in July 1877. In August 1879, at the age of 44, he was appointed officiating Second in Command of 1st Bombay Grenadiers, considered to be an elite Indian regiment smartly turned out in a uniform of red jacket, khaki turban and dark blue trousers with white gaiters. Griffith accompanied his regiment to join the South Afghanistan Field Force via the Bolan and Khojak Passes in October 1879, experiencing the hostile, anti-British environment of the Kandahar region for many months. In July 1880 a column built around Brigadier Burrows’s 1st Brigade, which included the Bombay Grenadiers, was sent west to Girishk on the Helmand river. At the disastrous battle of Maiwand on 27 July 1880, Griffith initially commanded the Grenadier’s Right Wing, and then took command of the whole Regiment at around 3pm, after Colonel Anderson was severely wounded and evacuated. Maiwand Two months later, in mid-September 1880, the British, including some officers who had survived the massacre, revisited the battlefield. They found that the European and Indian bodies had been left to disintegrate where they fell, but, learning of the British return, local Afghan villagers had hastily buried them just days before in 40 separate shallow graves at the places where they had died. The battlefield was carefully surveyed and the graves plotted on the battle map, then opened and their contents recorded. The correlation of the battlefield survey with the unsatisfactory and evasive official despatches of the force commanders was so contradictory that each surviving officer was ordered to submit a written report outlining what he had directly witnessed. Lieutenant-Colonel Griffith’s official account is quoted below, slightly abridged, while extracts of accounts given by other officers mentioning Griffith are inserted in italics. ‘On the 26th July 1880, the force under Brigadier-General Burrows [personally brave but indecisive, cautious and totally inexperienced in commanding an all-arms force], which consisted of the following troops [2,600 men], were encamped at Khushk-i-Nakhud, which is on the road from Kandahar to Girishk on the Helmand and distant from the former place about fifty miles: E-B, Royal Horse Artillery [146 men]; Detachment [260 men], 3rd Sind Horse; Detachment [315 men] 3rd Light Cavalry; Detachment [46 men] Bombay Sappers and Miners; 66th Foot [473 men]; 1st Bombay Grenadiers [649 men, the largest infantry unit in the force]; and Jacob's Rifles [624 men]. It was generally believed… that an Afghan force, consisting of about 20,000 men and 36 guns, under Ayub Khan, was not far distant; but such was the enmity against us, that neither the political officers nor our own cavalry patrols were able to obtain reliable information either as to the correct numbers or the exact position of the Afghan force. However, information was received that a few ghazis and some cavalry of Ayub Khan’s advanced guard had occupied the village of Maiwand… and during the night orders were issued for our brigade to march on Maiwand the next morning [27 July] at 6:30 a.m. The position occupied by Ayub Khan’s army at this time was unknown. Owing to the large quantity of ordnance and commissariat stores which had been stowed away within walled enclosures at Khushk-i-Nakhud, and the loading of which took a considerable time, the force did not start punctually, and the sun was well up, and the heat considerable, before we were all off the ground. The force advanced with cavalry and two guns of E-B, Royal Horse Artillery, in advance; the infantry in line of columns at deploying distance; baggage on the right flank; and the whole brought up by a rear-guard of two guns and some cavalry, each regiment of infantry ...

A good Second War ‘Burma operations’ M.C. group of five awarded to Jemadar Sultan Ali, 4th (Sikh) Battalion, 12th Frontier Force Regiment, Indian Army, for his gallantry in leading an attack on a heavily enemy occupied village on 25 March 1945 Pakistan Independence Medal 1947 (PJO 16092 Jem Sultan Ali 12 F.F.R.); Military Cross, G.VI.R. reverse officially dated 1946; 1939-45 Star; Burma Star; War Medal 1939-45, mounted court-style as worn in this order, very fine (5) £1,000-£1,400 --- M.C. London Gazette 2 August 1945: ‘In recognition of gallant and distinguished services in Burma.’ The original Recommendation, for an Immediate award, states: ‘On 25 March 1945 Subedar Sultan Ali was the commander of No. 7 Platoon, C Company, ordered to attack and clear the village of Kyigon (Map Meiktila sheet 1:25000, Square 3134). The company went in with No 7 Platoon as a spear head, as the degree of enemy resistance was at this time was not known, and had to be ascertained. A troop of tanks was in support, but took no part in the first phase of the attack, and remained behind, outside the village. On entering the village Subedar Sultan Ali’s platoon soon came under fire from Japs in the trenches and fox-holes in the vicinity of the Pagodas to their front. By skilful manoeuvring of his sections Subedar Sultan Ali soon overcame this opposition, about one section strong, and destroyed the enemy. He them continued his advance into the village, and came under automatic fire from strong bunker to his front, and heavy sniping from both flanks. The platoon was pinned down, and almost at once the enemy begun to shell the position from close range, with great accuracy, and casualties to the platoon begun to mount. A lesser man might have withdrawn his platoon from such a predicament, and gone in again with tank support, but Subedar Sultan Ali at once decided that the solution lay in a swift and determined attack to destroy the enemy and occupy his trenches. This he did, and under his inspiring leadership his platoon went in and at the point of bayonet, destroyed the enemy, and occupied his position. Subedar Sultan Ali was badly wounded by a shell splinter in the stomach before reaching the enemy position, but continued to direct his platoon and shout encouragement, until the enemy were destroyed and the men under cover. Not till then did he allow himself to be dragged away and evacuated. The platoon suffered 2 killed and 9 wounded in the action, but secured a firm base in the centre of the enemy resistance, and it was from here that the further operations of the Company were launched, with the tank support, and the village completely cleared, in spite of constant shelling. Kyigon was not again occupied after our men were withdrawn in the evening. This Subedar has shown determination and skilled leadership of the highest order, and his courage has inspired his men to give of their utmost throughout the recent operations.’ Sultan Ali was born in the district of Rawalpindi and attested for the 12th Frontier Force Regiment, Indian Army, on 21 June 1930. He served with them during the Second World War in Burma from 9 December 1941 to 20 May 1942; in Assam from May to August 1942; ands again in Burma from 5 February 1945. He was pensioned on 21 June 1958, after 28 years’ service. Sold with copied service records and a photographic image of the recipient.

British South Africa Company Medal 1890-97, reverse Matabeleland 1893, 1 clasp, Rhodesia 1896 (Trooper S. G. Greer Victoria Column.) nearly extremely fine and a rare casualty £1,000-£1,400 --- Roll confirms 1893 Medal, Trooper, Victoria Column; 1896 Clasp, Trooper, “C” Troop, Bulawayo Field Force. Stuart George Greer was killed in the rearguard action on the Tuli Road on 10 April 1896, when on the Gwanda Patrol, near Fort Umlugulu. ‘On Thursday, April 2nd, a force consisting of 50 mounted men Bulawayo Field Force, 50 of the Afrikander Corps mounted under Capt. Van Niekerk, one Maxim gun and detachment, and Dr. Levy with ambulance, left Bulawayo at 5 p.m. -the whole under command of Capt. Brand, to proceed to Manzi-Izama in Gwanda district. His orders were to bring into Bulawayo the white population of Manzi-Izama, if still there. They had been warned to leave eight days previously, but had stated they wished to remain where they were. Matters, however, becoming so critical, and their force so small, a relief party was deemed necessary. No opposition was met with on the march down, and the people were found to have retired on Tali. Capt. Brand had been instructed to report on the road, particularly with reference to suitable sites for fortified camps, water supply, &c., with a view to future operations by a detached force. Manzi-Izama is 80 miles distant; the road is practically a defile, commanded on either hand from Spargo's store, 12 miles from this town, to Manzi-Izama. On the return march, opposition was first met with seven miles this side of Spiro's store, the force being fired on from kopjes commanding the advance. The flanking parties became at once engaged, pushing the rebels before them, and occupying flanking positions as they advanced. On reaching the point almost parallel with Latijan's farm, between the two hills shown on may, the dissel boom of the wagon broke. Firing recommenced and continued till more open ground was reached. The Matabele then appeared in considerable force, and Capt. Brand determined to take up a position on the left of the road on a hillock with about 50 feet command. The Maxim was placed on the salient commanding the road to the east, the Afrikanders on the right, and the remainder under Lieut. Pursell on the left. Fair cover was obtained for the horses; the scrub came pretty well up to the position on the south and east faces. A determined attack then developed on three sides of the position, the rebels being. in possession of a large number of guns of sorts, and running up with great determination, some reaching to within 30 yards of the firing line. The Maxim opened early, and did good execution, but the thickness of the bush prevented full use being made of the longer ranges. The attack was successfully repulsed on the south and east faces, largely due to the action of the Maxim, whose fire was then turned on the north attack, which was making considerable headway, but which immediately slackened. Capt. Van Niekerk then mounted 25 of his men, who made a counter attack on the thick bush into which the rebels had retired, their right being safeguarded by the fire of the guns. The rebels were pushed through the bush on to open ground beyond, where the Afrikanders inflicted heavy loss on them. By this time the remainder of the force was mounted and proceeded, as shown on map, to avoid the kopje and thick bush commanding the road, which was struck 300 yards further on, the Afrikanders forming the rearguard. Casualties: five killed, 15 wounded, 30 horses lost. The dead had to be left.’ Trooper Stuart George Greer was buried in one grave with Trooper Christopher John Packe, also of “C” Troop, in the small cemetery at Umlugulu. Sold with copied research from National Archives of Zimbabwe including letters from his mother and brother, death notice, and account of the action.
