Barker, Indian Army Nursing Service, who nursed British and Indian soldiers in a Himalayan fort under constant enemy fire Royal Red Cross, 1st Class, V.R., silver-gilt, gold and enamel, on lady’s bow riband; India General Service 1895-1902, 1 clasp, Punjab Frontier 1897-98 (Nursing Sister M. E. Barker. I.A.N.S.) good very fine (2) £3,000-£4,000 --- Provenance: Dix Noonan Webb, June 2005. R.R.C. London Gazette 21 April 1899: ‘Miss Mary Ellen Barker, Indian Nursing Service. In recognition of the services rendered by her in connection with the nursing of the sick and wounded during the late operations on the Punjab Frontier.’ One of only 3 R.R.C. awards for this campaign, the other two being announced in the same gazette. Mary Ellen Barker was born in Mansfield, Nottingham, on 25 March 1863, the daughter of a stone merchant. Educated at a Ladies’ Private School in Barlborough, Derbyshire, she entered the Nightingale Fund Training School at St. Thomas’s Hospital in Lambeth in July 1889. Completing her training ‘very satisfactorily’, she was taken onto the permanent staff of the Diptheria Ward and was later appointed Head Nurse on the Surgical Ward. Employed in 1894 as a private nurse, Barker proved instrumental in saving the life of the Dowager Countess of Morley when her bedding caught fire at Whiteway Mansion, Chudleigh, Devon. For this act she was awarded a silver medal and three guineas by the Society for the Protection of Life from Fire at a meeting held on 26 September 1895. Supported by a strong reference from the Earl of Morley, her second application to the Indian Army Nursing Service proved fruitful and she was appointed Nursing Sister on 27 November 1895. Posted to the Station Hospital at Rawalpindi for her first term of five years, Barker soon caught the attention of Lady Superintendent Loch when she noted in her diary: ‘August 1897. Sister B is under orders to go to the Malakand and naturally is in a tremendous state of excitement.’ Detached to the Malakand Frontier Force, Barker served on the North-West Frontier of India from 15 August to 7 October 1897. For her efforts to nurse the sick and wounded she was awarded the R.R.C. and India General Service Medal, the former being presented to her on parade at Murree on 25 July 1899 by General Sir Arthur Power Palmer. A contemporary article published in The Nursing Record & Hospital World on 9 September 1899, adds a little more detail regarding both awards: ‘Miss Barker, during the frontier campaign, was shut up in one of the Malabund forts, being the only woman in it, and worked night and day nursing the wounded, besides being constantly under fire. She also rendered great service at the base hospital during the same campaign. This is not the first occasion on which Miss Barker has distinguished herself. She has already received a medal for saving life from fire, having carried a burning patient out of a hospital (sic) at great risk to her own life.’ Returning to Rawalpindi, Barker completed her first term on 26 November 1900. Signing up for further duties, she transferred to Peshawar in June 1902, and in April 1903 became officiating Senior Sister at Mian Mir. With her health declining, she finally resigned from the service on 15 August 1905. Sold with copied Indian Army Nursing Service Record and private research.

An extremely fine Great War R.R.C. and Second Award Bar group of four awarded to Principal Matron Dorothea M.

Second Award Bar London Gazette 1 January 1921. Italy, Medal of Merit for Public Safety London Gazette 2 November 1920. Dorothea Matilda Taylor was born in Edinburgh on 29 November 1873, the daughter of physician William Taylor. Educated at St. George’s High School in Edinburgh, she crossed the Firth of Forth and River Tay to take her nursing training at Dundee Royal Infirmary from May 1900 to May 1903. Appointed Staff Nurse to the Q.A.I.M.N.S. on 10 July 1903, she was raised Sister on 18 November 1904 and sent to Egypt from April 1906 to October 1910. Sent to Khartoum on a tour of duty in 1907, she likely treated people suffering from malaria, yellow fever, and other infections associated with a lack of safe water. Returned to the United Kingdom, Taylor was promoted Acting Matron on 8 August 1914 and placed on home service. Awarded the Royal Red Cross, she received her decoration from the hand of the King at an investiture held in Buckingham Palace on 15 January 1916. Posted overseas to Italy on 8 December 1917, she later wrote a most emotive account of her experiences: ‘On a cold, bleak morning, early in December 1917, I and my party arrived at the Italian Frontier on our way to join the Italian Expeditionary Force. The ground was white with snow, and it was exceedingly cold. The railway station was guarded by Italian soldiers, and even at the door of the refreshment room there was a sentry with a fixed bayonet. We were informed by the Railway Transport Officer that food was very short in Italy, and that he did not know where we were to go, but he would send us on to Turin, where we arrived about 5 p.m. - No one seemed to know anything about us at Turin, so we were again sent on - this time to Genoa - and arrived there about midnight. Again, we were not expected, so we were taken to No. 11 General Hospital to be kindly received and housed until quarters could be found for us.’ Sent to a small hospital in Arquata and then on to Stationary Hospitals at Cremona and Bordighera, Taylor spent New Year’s Day of 1918 at Padova in a ‘dreary and cold hotel’, the night being spent in a cellar as the town received the attention of the enemy. Transferred to work at a Casualty Clearing Station in the foothills of the Austrian Alps, she took solace in the beauty of the landscape and hospitality of the Italian people, before being sent on to a hospital in Taranto and digs in newly constructed Nissen huts. It was at around this time that Taylor’s health began to suffer, likely in consequence of the volume of work and bombing by the armies and air forces of the Central Powers; the recipient’s Service Record notes her struggling with concussion, neuritis and headaches. Sent back to England at the cessation of hostilities, Taylor received the Second Award Bar to her Royal Red Cross at an investiture held at Buckingham Palace on 8 March 1921. Her hard work from 1917 to 1918 was further recognised by the King of Italy, Taylor receiving the rare award of the Bronze Medal della Salute Publica - usually conferred for service to Italian citizens in staving off disease and protecting societal health. Raised Matron on 31 January 1921, Taylor took further appointment at the Officer’s Hospital in Scarborough and the Military Hospital in Cosham, but with her health failing she was invalided on 15 December 1924 and placed on retired pay. She died of pneumonia on 11 October 1928, her last address noted as Swanston Cottage, Oulton Broad, Lowestoft. Sold with the recipient’s original silver Q.A.I.M.N.S. cape badge, hallmarked Birmingham 1915.

She joined Princess Christian’s Army Nursing Service Reserve on 15 May 1900 and served during the Boer War as a Nursing Sister at the Imperial Yeomanry Hospital in Dreelfontein. According to The Yeomen of the Karoo, The Story of the Imperial Yeomanry Hospital at Dreelfontein, this military hospital was created by the charitable efforts of Lady Georgina Curzon, daughter of the Duke of Marlborough, and Lady Beatrice Grosvenor, daughter of the Duke of Westminster. Tasked initially with providing the highest quality medical care for the Imperial Yeomanry, the hospital was staffed by 706 medical professionals and offered 1960 beds to sick and injured soldiers. The Chairman’s report of 1902 notes that for its short period of existence, the hospital treated over 20,000 patients and developed a reputation as the best equipped, most sophisticated medical, surgical and convalescent hospital of the war, borne heavily of the untiring efforts of its aristocratic figureheads and their successful fundraising efforts. Westbrook later served during the Great War as Matron of Highfield Hall Hospital in Southampton, and was awarded the R.R.C. under her married name of Dora King. She received the decoration from the hand of the King at an investiture held at Buckingham Palace on 12 December 1917.

O.B.E. London Gazette 1 January 1942: Deputy Commissioner of Police, Calcutta. K.P.M. London Gazette 1 January 1938. The recommendation states: ‘Mr Weale joined the Imperial Police in 1921. In 1924 he was posted to the Intelligence Branch as Special Assistant, and in view of his particular aptitude for such work he was appointed in 1926 as Additional Superintendent of Police, Dacca, and in 1930 as Special Superintendent, Intelligence Branch, where he worked with conspicuous success. As Superintendent of Police, Midnapore, where he had charge of the District Intelligence Branch, he succeeded in breaking up the ramifications of the terrorist parties in that district. His general administration of the district in all its branches was most successful, and his energy and efficiency acted as an inspiration to his subordinates.’ I.P.M. (awarded for gallantry) Gazette of India 19 June 1943: ‘On the afternoon of the 4th January 1943, Mr Weale and Sergeants Burr and Bullock went to the Alipore Aerodrome on receipt of information that an Indian Sepoy had run amok, had shot and killed another soldier and was sheltering at the top of a stairway with a rifle and ammunition at his disposal. On arrival they found that a second soldier had been shot at and injured by the maniac, who was found to be at the head of a staircase above the Guard Room and in a position which enabled him to fire at anyone approaching the staircase and also to command the front approach to the house through two windows in a small room at the staircase top.
On the instructions of Mr Weale, Sergeant Bullock fired four Tear Smoke shells up the staircase from the ground floor verandah, while Sergeant Burr covered him with a revolver. A considerable concentration of Tear Smoke was set up, but when the two Sergeants and another Sepoy went towards the staircase, the maniac fired at them twice, but fortunately missed them. It was subsequently discovered that he was using a respirator. Sergeant Bullock thereupon threw some Smoke Tear grenades up the staircase and over the roof of the house, and for the second time attempted to reach the staircase while Sergeant Burr covered him with a rifle. Two more shots from the maniac, however, rendered this attempt unsuccessful. Sergeant Burr was then ordered to remain covering the staircase, while Mr Weale and Sergeant Bullock made their way through some light bamboo jungle up to a distance of about 30 yards from the front of the house. During this advance the two officers were exposed to the fire of the maniac through the windows referred to above, but were not actually fired on. From the position then reached Sergeant Bullock fired four more Tear Smoke shells at the windows, but these did not succeed in dislodging the Sepoy. Rifles were then borrowed, and Mr Weale fired three rounds and Sergeant Bullock four rounds through these windows. This attack diverted the maniac’s attention to the party at the front of the house, and while shifting his position to fire at them, he exposed himself to the fire of Sergeant Burr, who was guarding the staircase. Sergeant Burr fired two rounds, shortly after which the maniac fell down the stairs and was found to be dead.
In carrying out this difficult and dangerous operation these three officers displayed conspicuous gallantry and disregard of personal risk, in the face of a well-armed madman who was firing at them from excellent cover.’ Cyril Weale was born on 12 February 1900. After service during the Great War, he joined the Indian Police on 29 November 1921 as an Assistant Superintendent in Bengal. In 1924 he was posted to the Intelligence Department as Special Assistant and appointed as Additional Superintendent of Police at Dacca in March 1926, and in 1930 as Special Superintendent, Intelligence Branch. As Superintendent of Police at Midnapore he succeeded in breaking up the ramifications of the terrorist parties in that district. In June 1933 he was appointed Principal of the Police Training College at Sardah, and was again appointed Principal of that College in January 1935.
