Deployed to the Black Sea during the Crimean War, Perkins fought as part of the Naval Brigade under the command of Captain Stephen Lushington.

He was convicted by the Civil Powers of felony on 1 August 1891, with his service terminated as a result, and his India General Service Medal forfeited. Presumably his medal was restored to him under a later amnesty; given the fact that the medal in this lot is officially re-named, and the rank, unusually, is given in full, it is safe to assume that the medal in this lot is the one that was restored to him. Sold with copied record of service and medal roll extract.

T. S. Yates No. 1 By. 1st. Bde. E. Dn. R.A.) the second clasp unattached, minor edge bruise, better than very fine £300-£400 --- Henry Townley Scott Yates was born at Birch in Rusholme, Lancashire, in 1846. A fine obituary offers a good appreciation of his life and distinguished military career: ‘Colonel H. T. S. Yates. Colonel Henry Townley Scott Yates who died recently at Weymouth at the age of 77, was the son of His Honour Judge Yates of Wellbank, Cheshire. Educated at Rugby and Woolwich, he entered the Royal Artillery in 1868, his first service being in India, where he spent many years. Later he served in Burma and commanded the column which proceeded to Burma and took over the North Shan State. For these services he received a brevet and held the Burma medal and two clasps for 1885-87 and 1887-90 (sic). Later, he was commanding R.A. at Woolwich, and eventually commanded the district in succession to General Maurice. After having served in all four branches of the Royal Artillery, he was retired on account of age in 1903. On retirement he took command of the Royal Guernsey Artillery and Engineers (Militia), which command he held for five years. In the Great War he entered (at the age of 60) the Territorial Artillery as a Captain, in May, 1915, and took command of the 3/1st South Midland Heavy Battery, R.G.A... In July, 1915, he was appointed C.R.A. of the 31st South Midland Brigade, Royal Artillery, and commanded the division at Churn and Bristol.

Lot 499
The Indian Mutiny Medal awarded to Private G. White, 32nd Regiment of Foot, who was killed in the Massacre at Cawnpore on 27 June 1857, likely alongside his wife and two children Indian Mutiny 1857-59, no clasp (G. White, 32nd. L.I.) abrasively cleaned, nearly very fine £800-£1,000 --- Provenance: Dix Noonan Webb, December 2000. George White enlisted at Bristol on 1 March 1847 as Private in the 32nd Regiment of Foot. Initially sent to Chatham from April 1847 to June 1848, the muster rolls show first overseas service at Shahdera, India, in the first quarter of 1849, followed by a two-year posting to Jullundur in the Punjab. Transferred briefly to Camp Boorhan in late 1851, White enjoyed three years at Peshawur and Kussowlie, being promoted Sergeant on 21 February 1854. From here he spent a number of spells at the cantonment town of Subathu in the Solan district of Himachal Pradesh, famed for its historic association with the Anglo-Nepalese War of 1814-16. Reduced to Private 22 March 1856, reason unknown, White spent September 1856 sick in the military hospital at Kussowlie, before being sent to the Depot of the 32nd Foot at Cawnpore in the fourth quarter of that year. The Siege of Cawnpore proved a key episode in the Indian Rebellion of 1857. The British contingent in the important garrison town consisted of around nine hundred souls, including three hundred military men, a further three hundred women and children, the remainder being merchants, business owners, drummers (salesmen), engineers and others. What happened next is well documented; totally unprepared for an extended Siege, the garrison under General Hugh Wheeler determined to surrender to rebel forces under Nana Sahib in return for a safe passage to Allahabad. Emerging from their entrenchments on the morning of 27 June 1857, the British proceeded towards the Satichaura Ghat and reached a flotilla of small boats on the bank of the Ganges tasked with taking them to safety. It was here that they were cut down and massacred by rebel cavalry sowars, the ferocity and unexpectedness of attack sending shockwaves across India and throughout the Empire. George White is confirmed on the Medal Roll and Casualty Roll by I. T. Tavender as having been killed during the massacre whilst serving with the 2nd Company of the 32nd Foot. A Personal Narrative of the Outbreak and Massacre at Cawnpore during the Sepoy Revolt of 1857, by author W. J. Shepherd, further notes a ‘Mary White and 2 children’ killed at the same time. Note: The Indian Mutiny Medal Roll shows two men named George White serving with the 32nd Regiment of Foot; this man, 3320 Pte. George White, and another man, 3182 Pte. George White, who is further entitled to the clasp Defence of Lucknow. This Medal appears entirely correct as to that belonging to the Private killed in the massacre. Sold with copied research.

A fine ‘Casualty’ Indian Mutiny Medal awarded to Corporal S. Smith, 6th Dragoon Guards (Carabiniers), who was present at the parade in Meerut on 9 May 1857, when mutineers of the 3rd Bengal Native Cavalry were shackled and sentenced to transportation for refusing to bite the cartridges of the new Enfield rifles. Smith subsequently saw service during the siege and capture of Delhi, alongside numerous other actions and skirmishes during the conflict, and was still on operations when he died at Shahjehanpore on 4 October 1858 Indian Mutiny 1857-59, 1 clasp, Delhi (Corpl. Saml. Smith, 6th. Dragn. Gds.) cleaned, very fine £300-£400 --- Samuel Smith witnessed extensive action with the 6th Dragoon Guards during the Mutiny, commencing with the search for the mutineers following the wanton slaughter of European troops and civilians at Meerut. Transferred to the column of Brigadier Archdale Wilson, the Dragoon Guards fought at Hindun on 30 and 31 of May, and at the Battle of Bundlekserai on 8 June 1857, where they attacked the rear of the enemy force. The Regiment then took part in the advance on Delhi and the subsequent siege and capture of the City. Under Brigadier Showers, the men captured Rivari, Jijhar and Kanauri, holding firm at Narnul where they were heavily engaged by superior numbers of the enemy. The following year witnessed further action at Mynpoorie in March 1858 and Kukrowlie on 29 and 30 April 1858, where the Dragoon Guards served with General Penny’s Column. The Regiment further participated in the capture of Bareilly on 5 May 1858, with further success at Shahjehanpore and Mahundee.

The Indian Mutiny medal awarded to Christopher James Best, an original defender at Lucknow who was the son-in-law of John Phillips, who was described as one of the bravest men in the ‘defence’; both of these men sallied out of the Residency on no fewer than three occasions Indian Mutiny 1857-59, 1 clasp, Defence of Lucknow (C. Jas. Best.) with its original named card box of issue but this with incorrect ‘Baltic’ label and rather distressed, small test mark to lower obverse rim, otherwise toned, extremely fine £2,000-£2,400 --- Provenance: Captain Tim Ash Collection, Dix Noonan Webb, December 2012. Christopher James Best was born at Cawnpore on 26 August 1820, son of Henry William, a writer, and his wife, Mary. He joined the Uncovenanted Civil Service and by 1850 was at Lucknow, an Unregulated State, working as an ‘Indexer’ in the office of the Military Secretary under Captain Fletcher Hayes. In 1851 he married Ellen, the daughter of John Phillips, recently promoted to Head Clerk of the Lucknow Residency due to the demise of Mr Hare for embezzlement. Together they had one son, John Eustace, who was to die during the siege. The removal of Mr Hare, who had been in the King's pay, gave Captain Hayes the opportunity to infiltrate the King's Palace via the newly arrived Head Clerk. Successive British Residents at Lucknow had become increasingly alarmed at the King of Oudh's profligate expenditure, chaotic administration and hedonistic lifestyle of his court, so Phillips was instructed by Captain Hayes to set about organising a loose network of informers who could pass back information and gossip from the various departments as to what was happening in the palace. He was assisted in this endeavour by his son-in-law Mr C. Best and several other relatives and in-laws within the Residency. In 1856 the Kingdom of Oudh was annexed by the authorities using a device called the Doctrine of Lapse, by which the King had no legitimate heir causing resentment which sowed the seeds of revolt. From the commencement of the siege, Christopher Best defended the Judicial Garrison or Germon's Post, named after Captain R. C. Germon, 13th Bengal N.I. It was greatly exposed to fire from the tower of Johannes’ House, just outside the Residency perimeter and from cannon and mortar fire from Phillips’ House and Garden battery which opened up with such force and accuracy that the position became untenable. It was therefore necessary to evacuate the wives and children to the cellars of the Tykhana, where the wives of the officers were sheltering. Repeated attacks were made on Germon’s Post, with the one on 20 July being the fiercest. The Uncovenanted distinguished themselves greatly, all being under arms from eight in the morning to eight at night. Copies of the original lists of those who served throughout the siege show that John Phillips, Christopher James Best (son-in-law) and William Charles Phillips (relative) all accompanied sallying parties out of the Residency on no fewer than three occasions. After the siege was lifted, Best continued to work at Lucknow until his retirement in 1880, in the Military Secretary's office being variously described as Record Keeper or Diarist and Dispatcher. He retired to West Bengal dying of double pneumonia on 9 March 1905, aged 84. He was interred in the grave of his father-in-law John Phillips, in the Lower Circular Road Cemetery at Calcutta. The grave is still extant. The anomaly of his Baltic card box of issue is the subject of an article by Captain Tim Ash, M.B.E., entitled, “From the Cold of the Baltic to the Heat of Lucknow”, published by the Orders and Medals Research Society, 1996, Vol. 35. Sold with a comprehensive file of copied research.

The crew forming the complement of the steam tug Rescue reported for duty on Sunday 3 June 1866, and by midday 4 June this ship's company had placed 67 tonnes of coal aboard, mounted a 32-pound gun on the main deck, and placed pyramidal piles of round shot projectiles conveniently alongside for quick action. A few days later a second vessel was chartered, the ferry steamer Michigan. Captain McMaster and his crew were relieved of duty aboard Rescue and sent to Toronto to fit out the Magnet for lake service.

Attesting for the Seaforth Highlanders in 1896, he transferred from the 1st to the 2nd Battalion and embarked for South Africa aboard the S.S. Mongolian on 21 October 1899. Arriving at Cape Town, his life from this time is carefully recorded on pages 516-517 of Sword from the North: ‘Proceeded to De Aar, the Orange River, Enslin, and the Modder River. At the Battle of Magersfontein, Piper Mackay was wounded in the right leg. Later he went to Koodoosberg under General Sir Hector Macdonald. On 2 February 1900, under Lord Roberts, he started for the Relief of Kimberley. He next went to Paardeberg, where the Seaforths took part in one of their greatest battles, having very heavy casualties; but the result was the unconditional surrender of General Cronje and 3,912 of the Boer Army. The Seaforths then went to Doorfontein, and were engaged successfully at Bloemfontein on 15 March; at Sanna’s Post on 31 March; and at Winburg-Lindley, Heilbron, Frankfort and Bethlehem. At Bethlehem the engagement resulted in the biggest capture of the South African War, General Prinsloo on 30 July surrendering with over 4,000 men. The Seaforths were next back at Heilbron, and then went on to a succession of places, including Bethulia, Rouxville, and Jagersfontein. Piper MacKay and thirteen others were in camp when the Boers coming upon them killed eleven of them, only MacKay and two comrades escaping death. MacKay was taken prisoner but escaped at daybreak. After this the Seaforths were “all over the place” in pursuit of De Wet. On 21 March 1901, they were sent to Pretoria. Later, they went to Bethulie Bridge to erect block-houses; and on 20 January 1902, to Kroonstadt; and on 29 March to Klerksdorp. Here the Peace Delegates came in on 9 April, the 2nd Seaforths furnishing an Officer’s Guard over the Orange Free State Delegates, William MacKay being Piper to the Guard... Piper MacKay holds the Queen’s South Africa Medal with five bars, and the King’s South Africa Medal with two bars.’ MacKay returned home via Dublin, and later served during the Great War with the 2nd Volunteer Battalion, Seaforth Highlanders; of a distinguished musical family, his brother John became Piper to King Edward VII. Sold with copied research including a photographic image of the recipient, titled: ‘William MacKay, Piper, 2nd Seaforth Highlanders’, the service number upon the QSA Medal further corresponding with that offered by Sword from the North.

An unusual Victory Medal awarded to Acting Warrant Officer 2nd Class W. T. McGuire, Royal Garrison Artillery, who served on the Arabian peninsula as part of the ‘Aden Brigade’ using camels to pull the gun carriages, but whose military career was promptly terminated when convicted of theft in Scotland Victory Medal 1914-19 (14433 Cpl. W. T. McGuire. R.A.) nearly extremely fine £40-£50 --- William Thomas McGuire was born in Woolwich, London, on 18 November 1886. During the Great War he joined a very select force of British and Indian Troops, serving in Aden from 4 July 1915 with the 61st Battery, Royal Garrison Artillery. He arrived as Ottoman forces from North Yemen crossed the frontier of the Aden hinterland and attempted to capture the capital of the Abdali Sultanate of Lahij - which at that time acted as the centre of trade between the British crown colony of Aden, and its hinterland, the princely states under a protectorate. Outnumbered by several thousand Ottoman troops and Arab tribesmen from Mawiyah supported by twenty guns, the British were forced to withdraw on the Kawr, their decision hastened by extreme heat and a lack of drinking water. The loss of Lahij and death of the Sultan proved a bitter pill for the British, more so given the desertion of the camel drivers in the night, but it wasn’t long before they exacted their revenge; according to Aden by author Richard J. Shuster, a small force under Lieutenant Colonel A. M. S. Elsmie later ‘completely defeated them’ at Shaikh Othman. McGuire survived the war and is recorded in the British Army List of 1922 as Master Gunner. He remained with the Territorials throughout the 1920s, but his military career came to an abrupt end on 16 July 1929 when he was convicted at Dunfermline Sheriff Court of stealing copper cable; the recipient’s MIC notes discharge on 21 August 1929, but adds: ‘medals not forfeited.’

The Victory Medal awarded to Private T. E. Dalton, Canadian Army Medical Corps, who was awarded the Military Medal aged 47 years - possibly the only Etonian to receive the M.M. Victory Medal 1914-19 (524873 Pte. T. E. Dalton C.A.M.C.) good very fine £60-£80 --- M.M. London Gazette 3 July 1919. Thomas Edmonstone Dalton was born in Eton, on 30 September 1872, the son of Thomas Dalton, Clerk of Holy Orders and Senior Mathematics Master at Eton College, and was educated at Eton and later Trinity College, Cambridge, graduating B.A. (1895) and M.A. (1901). Taking employment as a schoolmaster, the Eton School List later notes him as headmaster of a preparatory school in Tettenhall, Staffordshire. This was most likely Tettenhall College Preparatory School which specialised in educating the sons of churchmen. Despite his high standing at such a young age, Dalton emigrated to Canada around 1901 and was married on 15 August 1910. He attested for the 62nd Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force in January 1915, but military life proved in marked contrast to that of a private school teacher. His C.E.F. Service Record makes plain: ‘Not likely to become an efficient soldier.’ Discharged at Vancouver on 15 December 1915, Dalton re-attested for the 138th Battalion, but was released for a second time on 17 April 1916 in consequence of liquor. His C.E.F. Service Record further notes his character as ‘bad’, adding insult to injury with a charge of 23 cents for the loss of a pair of socks. With grim perseverance, Dalton attested for a third time, this time for the Canadian Army Medical Corps. Sent to France as a reinforcement on 11 September 1916, he is mentioned in Stretcher Bearers at the Double: History of the Fifth Field Ambulance: ‘Do you remember those red-letter days on which Tommy Dalton received his periodical remittance check - when he used to collect his cronies, Billy Brown, Horace McKillop, Tommy Hawkey, et al., and adjourn to the nearest estaminet until the money was all gone?’ Admitted to his own Field Ambulance with bronchitis in the winter of 1916, Dalton was fortunate to escape with his life at Passchendaele: ‘States shell burst right beside him causing deafness which has remained’. Awarded the Military Medal, he later returned to Canada and was demobilised at Quebec on 1 July 1919. He died at Lavington, North Okanagan, British Columbia, on 15 May 1929.

A fine General Service Medal awarded to Colour Sergeant Major G. Hall, Duke of Wellington’s Regiment (West Riding), who was awarded the M.M. in 1943 for eliminating two enemy snipers in the Tunisian desert General Service 1918-62, 1 clasp, Palestine 1945-48 (4610108 W.O. Cl.2. G. Hall. M.M. D.W.R.) pawn-broker’s mark to obverse, minor official corrections, nearly extremely fine £140-£180 --- M.M. London Gazette 23 September 1943. The official recommendation states: ‘This N.C.O. was Platoon Sergeant in one of the Companies which attacked the Bou Aukaz feature. During the night 5/6 key ammunitions ran short and at first light Sergeant Hall went out to contact the Company on the Da Brarim feature with a view to replenishing the ammunition supply of his Company. In spite of failure by a previous Company who were driven back by heavy machine gun fire, Sergeant Hall achieved his objective and brought back both ammunition and his party complete. Later, Sergeant Hall went out to stalk a pair of snipers who were installed in a rock built “sangar”. He manoeuvred himself into position with a Piat mortar and having broken up the “sangar” with accurate mortar fire, he disposed of the snipers. Sergeant Hall’s conduct throughout the battle was an inspiring example to his men.’ George Hall served in India from 1933 until 1935 with the 2nd Battalion, Duke of Wellington’s Regiment (West Riding). Transferred as Sergeant to the 1st Battalion, he was decorated with the Military Medal for gallantry displayed in North Africa in the spring of 1943. At this time the Afrika Korps under General Erwin Rommel was in full retreat, the Germans relying heavily upon mines and sniping to ‘buy time’ and enable as many troops as possible to escape northwards through Tunisia. Aided by the Ultra code-breakers, British and Allied troops forced an enemy surrender in May 1943. Promoted Colour Sergeant Major, Hall witnessed further service in Palestine during the insurgency.

A Second War ‘Middle East’ theatre Immediate I.D.S.M. awarded to Lance-Naik Qabal Singh, 1st Jammu and Kashmir Mountain Battery, Indian State Forces Indian Distinguished Service Medal, G.VI.R. (62 L-Naik Qabal Singh. 1 J. & K. Mtn. Bty. I.S.F.) good very fine and rare £500-£700 --- I.D.S.M. London Gazette 18 July 1941: ‘For gallant and distinguished service in the Middle East.’ One of only four such awards to the Jammu and Kashmir state forces, two each to the J&K Infantry and Mountain Battery. Qabal/Qabala Singh was a Hindu Rajput from the village of Ghura Ghathian, Samba, Jammu. The recommendation for the Immediate award of the I.D.S.M. states: ‘On the 30th Mar 1941 during the battle west of AD TECELESAN enemy started heavy shelling at a corner of the road, and shelled it continuously and heavily for some hours. Our telephone line between O.P. and the Bty position passed through this corner and was broken on account of this shelling, while a shooting was being conducted. The visual was working but the lamp at the Bty position attracted enemy shelling. Laying of a new line was started but shooting could not be stopped until it was laid. The line was therefore to be mended at all costs. Sig. L/Nk. Qabala Singh and Signaller Shambhu Nath were sent from the O.P. and Sig. Nur Mohd from the Bty position to repair the line. On reaching the spot they found some trucks damaged and some drivers killed on account of shelling which was still going on as heavily as ever. All this did not deter them, and they repaired the line, and and enabled the shelling to be conducted without much delay. Sig. L/Nk. Qabala Singh was the first from the O.P. and Nur Mohd from the Bty position to reach the spot & mend the wire. Sig. Shambhu Nath also assisted them while they were mending the wire, a shell landed so close to them that one of their telephones (D-III) was actually buried under the earth raised by the shell and a small splinter was later extracted from the D-III itself.’
