*A Rare Mediterranean, Ashanti War and Great War Croix de Guerre Group of 6 to Colonel Hugh de Putron, Manchester Regiment, late 5th Battalion Northumberland Fusiliers. Having seen service as a Captain in the Mediterranean theatre, he served as a Special Service Officer on attachment to the 2nd Battalion Central Africa Regiment during the Ashanti 1900 campaign, where he was one of the two British officers who took part in the capture of the powerful Ashanti Chief Kobina Cherri at Suinjam. He was for a time formally seconded to the Colonial Office in 1907, and later saw heavy fighting with the Manchester Regiment in the Great War. In WW2 he was made ‘Zone Commander’ for the Home Guard and A.R.P in Bedfordshire, comprising: Mediterranean Medal, 1899-1902 (Capt. H. de Putron, North’d Fus:); Ashanti, 1900, silver issue, no clasp (2/Lieut. H. de Putron. 3/ Manch: Rgt:); 1914 Star (Lieut: H. De Putron. Manch: R.); British War and Victory Medals (Capt.

He received was first commissioned as Second Lieutenant in the 3rd Battalion, Northumberland Fusiliers, on 18 March 1896. Promoted to Captain, he served with this regiment in the Mediterranean Theatre, transferring soon after from the 5th Northumberlands to the 3rd Battalion Manchester Regiment for service in the Ashanti campaign, serving as a ‘Special Service’ officer on attachment to the 2nd Battalion Central Africa Regiment. He is mentioned by name in the book ‘The Ashanti Campaign of 1900’ by Armitage & Montanaro, as having taken part in the capture of the powerful war-leader and Chief, Kobina Cherri, of Odumassi: “The way in which the capture was effected was tis. Browne received information that Kobina Cherri was in hiding at a village called Suinjam, about two hours’ march from Odumassi, and he despatched Lieutenant Kington and Lieutenant de Putron each with two sections of the 1st and 2nd West African Frontier Force. Mr Daniells, a native officer, accompanied them. On arriving near the village, Lieutenant Kingston ordered the four sections to surround the village…carried out without the inhabitants being aware…Both these officers had accompanied Captain Carleton when he made similar attempts to capture Kobina Cherri, and he had carefully instilled into their minds the principle of caution when surrounding a village…the people running hither and thither were unable to break through the cordon of soldiers, and Mr Daniells, who understood the Ashanti language, heard them shouting to one particular man to hide himself. Suspecting the man to be someone of importance, he gave chase and seized him. The captive turned out to be Kobina Cherry, and he was brought back a prisoner to Odumassi…Kobina Cherri was tried by a Military Commission, found guilty, of murder, and sentenced to death.’ After this success, he continued to serve as part of the Manchester Regiment, being formally seconded to the Colonial Office on 12 October 1907. Restored to the establishment (from Supernumerary Lieutenant) on 18 March 1912, he served with the Manchester Regiment during the Great War and saw a great deal of hard fighting. Initially at the rank of Lieutenant, he embarked for service with the British Expeditionary Force in August 1914, joining the 2nd Battalion at Pontoise, and remaining with them until 14 November 1914. During this early period of the war (the Retreat from Mons), he would have been present during the actions at Pisseloup Ridge on 9 September 1914, where the Battalion suffered numerous casualties, and at Ste Marguerite on 13 September. The fighting continued in October 1914, and de Putron was also present at Richbourg l’Avoue and at Les Trois Maisons (as recorded by Wylly’s ‘History of the Manchester Regiment), on the latter occasion requiring a bayonet charge to clear the enemy. At Festubert, on 29 October, two men of the Battalion won the Victoria Cross (Second-Lieutenant Leach and Sergeant Hogan) for their part in restoring the battalion line after an enemy attack. Having survived this early fighting, he was promoted to Captain once again on 9 November 1914, and was later advanced to Major in May 1916. He was mentioned in despatched on 30 March 1917, and was later given the Brevet of Lieutenant-Colonel .He was confirmed as General Staff Officer 1st Class on 1 June 1918, and in the latter stages of the war, he was also awarded the French Croix de Guerre, with palm. In later life, during WW2, he was placed in charge of the Home Guard and A.R.P. in Bedfordshire, and given the position of Zone Commander (and the equivalent rank of Colonel).

During this time he took part in the Karene War of 1898-99 in Sierra Leone, in which campaign British forces defeated an uprising led by the local leader and Chief Bai Bureh and his supporters, who aimed to resist the Governor’s new ‘Hut Tax’. Captain Hastings was slightly wounded during this campaign, and the next year was transferred as Second Lieutenant to the Manchester Regiment – being awarded his East and West Africa Medal with clasp (this believed to be unique to the Manchester Regiment).

He was present at the actions of Biddulphsberg and Wittebergen in Cape Colony, and was rewarded with a mention in despatches and the award of a D.S.O. (one of just 7 to the 2nd Battalion).

After working all day on the car he was able to start at midnight and owing to his skill in guiding the car over unknown ground was able to overtake the L.C. patrol 10 miles short of DAKHLA, having travelled all night. The Senussi main camp at AIN BARABI being found evacuated he pushed on to TENEDA taking 1 officer and 2 other ranks prisoners. Next morning pushing on quickly to BUDHKULU a party of 50 Senussi were encountered and after a short fight surrendered. Here the cars had to wait for supplies and on their arrival, he proceeded to MUT where another 50 prisoners were taken, 3 officers and 7 other ranks of whom were ex-Coastguard. Work in the Oasis itself was difficult for the Armoured Car owing to the narrow bridges.’ M.I.D.: London Gazette: 6 July 1917 (For Senussi campaign), and 18 January 1921 (For Aliab Dinka) Egypt, Order of the Nile: London Gazette: 4 August 1922 - ‘for good services rendered during operations against the Aliab Dinkas in the Mongalla Province, Sudan, 1919-20’. Lieutenant John ‘Jack’ Lawrence was born on 19 February 1896, in the suburb of Jeppestown, Johannesburg, South Africa, the son of Henry Lakin Lawrence, a Mining Engineer, and Emma Lawrence. Educated at Horton Preparatory School, Ickwellbury, Bedfordshire, and then at Tonbridge School (1911-1913), he proved himself as a prominent sportsman, winning school colours at cricket, football and rugby. Here he also took up an interest in the military, serving as a Sergeant Cadet with the Tonbridge School Contingent, Junior Division, Officers Training Corps. He was initially apprenticed to the Midland Railway from 1913 to August 1914, but on 9 April 1914 he received his commission as a Second Lieutenant in the 8th (Ardwick) Battalion, Manchester Regiment. Upon the outbreak of war, Lawrence was posted to Palestine on 10 September 1914, returning to the U.K. in March 1915 having been ordered to attend the Royal Military College. While at Sandhurst, on 20 October 1915, he was commissioned as Second Lieutenant in the Regular Army (Manchester Regiment) and posted for employment with M.G.C. In March 1916 he was posted to Egypt, and he was officially seconded to the Motor Machine Gun Service on 20 October 1915. In Egypt he joined the Armoured Cars of Nos. 11 & 12 Light Armoured Motor Brigade, M.G.C., Desert Column, taking part in the Senussi Campaign in the Western Desert. His unit consisted of one Rolls Royce Armoured Car (commanded by Lawrence himself) and tender; six Ford cars and 12 motor bicycles. The remaining personnel consisted of two officers and 58 other ranks, with two Vickers and two Lewis guns in support. For his service in the Senussi campaign Lawrence was mentioned in despatches and awarded the M.C. Lawrence left the M.G.C. on 10 September 1917, being afterwards transferred to the Equatorial Battalion, part of the Egyptian Army which was serving in the Sudan. Placed in command of No. 2 Company of the Equatorial Battalion, he took part in operations against the Northern Turkhana, Marille, Donyiro in Southern Sudan , west of Lake Rudolf, between 20 April and 19 June 1918 (British Battles and Medals, refers). Known as the ‘Turkhana Patrol’ this patrol was sent out to oppose and disrupt tribal slaving and cattle raiding, and saw some heavy fighting. The campaign itself was commanded by Major Richard Finch White, Essex Regiment, and having been present, for the duration with the , Lawrence became one of just seven British Officers, serving with the Egyptian Army, to earn the Africa General Service Medal with clasp “East Africa 1918”. At the end of October 1919 a war-party of the Aliab Dinka attacked a police-post south of Bor (now capital of the Jonglei State in South Sudan), at Menkamon on the White Nile, killing eight policemen. This outbreak of violence quickly spread and Major Chancey Stigand, Egyptian Army (and Governor of Mondalla Province) sought to stamp it out with a few companies of the Equatorial Battalion, including those under the command of Lawrence (the article ‘Chauncey Stigand, Soldier, Governor and Writer’ by Henry Keown-Boyd, refers). As explained in the same article, owing to a shortage of officers Stigand accompanied one of the patrols himself, whereupon it was twice ambushed in quick succession overnight and in the morning on 8 December, in the long grass by several hundred Aliab Dinka tribesmen. Stigand himself, the Officer Commanding Troops Kaimakam (Lieutenant-Colonel) White, Yuzbashi (Captain) Saad Osman and twenty-four other ranks and carriers were killed. The remaining four officers, Bimbashi F. C. Roberts, V.C., D.S.O., M.C., (Worcs Regt), Bimbashi W. H. Wynne-Finch, M.C. (Scots Guards), A. H. Kent–Lemon (York & Lancs) and John Davies Lawrence, M.C. (Manch. Regt) were able to rally and restore the situation despite these losses, making a fighting and reaching Tombe on 13 December 1919. Keown-Boyd writes that: ‘The four surviving British officers - all veterans of the Great War and accustomed to reacting swiftly in desperate circumstances, rallied their companies and drove off the enemy, thus averting even greater disaster.’ Lieutenant Lawrence subsequently took part in the retaliatory operations against the Aliab Dinka, Bor Dinka and Mandari tribes in early 1920, for which he was awarded the Khedives Sudan medal with clasp ‘Aliab Dinka’. He was also awarded the Order of the Nile ‘for good services rendered’ during these difficult operations. Unfortunately, it appears that Lawrence contracted Malaria during this period, as he was examined by a Medical Board on 14 October 1920, which confirmed his disability from malaria (rated at 50%). After a lengthy period of treatment (and after his third Medical Board examination, on 6 January 1921) he was discharged to return to his regiment, relinquishing his commission on the same day. ...
