King.) officially re-impessed naming, generally good very fine and better (6) £240-£280 --- M.B.E. London Gazette 31 May 1956. The original Recommendation states: ‘Major Travers Richard King has held the appointment of Permanent President for Courts Martial in South Western and Salisbury Plain Districts since September 1952, and is now to be released from the Army in May of this year. His total Army service is 17 years. His work as Permanent President has been abnormally heavy, due to the large number of units and establishments in both Districts, and consequent movement of units through the Command. Not only has this involved long hours of hard work, but also continuous travelling between Districts and Garrisons, commencing very early in the morning and ending late at night. The exacting nature of this work has demanded a great deal of him. His standards have been of the highest throughout. He has combined high personal efficiency with a cheerful willingness to advise those less experienced in legal matters, whenever asked to do so. He is accurate and dependable at all times. In Court, he has earned the reputation of being completely fair and impartial, with the result that although he has tried persistent offenders on several occasions, there has never been an objection to him as President. His industry, efficiency, and human understanding have been outstanding in the difficult and somewhat thankless service he has been called upon to perform.’ Travers Richard King was born in 1904, the son of the Very Reverend R. F. S. King, and the maternal grandson of the Very Reverend A. F. Smyly, both Deans of Londonderry. Emigrated to Kenya at the age of 18 to farm, he later joined the Kenya Defence Force, and following the outbreak of the Second World War was commissioned into the King’s African Rifles. Advanced Major on 11 May 1944, he later became President of Courts Martial in Madagascar and Kenya, and was awarded his Efficiency Medal in 1950 (Official Gazette of Kenya, 15 August 1950). Returning to the U.K. King transferred to the Royal Ulster Rifles, and was appointed Permanent President for Courts Martial in South Western and Salisbury Plain Districts in September 1952. He relinquished his commission on 1 June 1956, and in later life took up wood-carving, carving an Irish Cross for his father’s and grandfather’s old Cathedral. He died in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, on 22 December 1991.

London Gazette 1 January 1919. The original recommendation states: ‘This Officer has been transport officer of the 9th Battalion since February to September 1918, and the transport of the Battalion has never been in so efficient a state. He makes a point of going personally with ammunition or rations when the road is rendered dangerous by shelling or machine-gun fire, and on many occasions has by his energy and total disregard of personal danger ensured the safe delivery of whatever was being carried, and set a fine example to his men.’ George Frederick Jervaulx Jarvis was born in Stoke Newington, London, on 18 June 1884, and joined the Honourable Artillery Company on 2 December 1901. Advanced Farrier-Sergeant, he served with the Honourable Artillery Company during the Great War in Egypt from 8 April 1915, and was commissioned Second Lieutenant in the 5th Reserve Regiment of Cavalry on 28 November 1916. He saw further service on the Western Front on attachment to the 9th (Yorkshire Hussars) Battalion, West Yorkshire Regiment In late September 1918, the 9th Battalion West Yorkshire Regiment was stationed near Artois en Vis in northern France and was preparing an attack. On 27 September, the Battalion moved forward, ‘but progress was slow because of an enemy machine gun nest that was holding up the crossing of the canal. The attack was delayed, but moved forward later in the day. The Battalion HQ reached its objective by 8 p.m. that evening. In the early morning of 28 September the Transport Officer Lieutenant G. F. J. Jarvis returning from delivering rations (which was accomplished under extreme difficulties) was severely wounded by a bomb dropped from enemy aircraft, he later died from his wounds. 2 mules, 1 horse and 2 drivers were also hit by this bomb and died and 2 Other ranks were also wounded.’ (the Battalion War Diary refers). Admitted to No. 1 Canadian Casualty Clearing Station, reportedly with wounds to his right arm and a fracture of his right thigh, Jarvis died later that day and was buried the following day in Duisans British Military Cemetery, with the Canadian chaplain W. Fisher presiding. Sold with copied research.
