A Boer War and First World War group of four: A Queen's South Africa Medal named to 1846 Bugler C. Wickham Cape Town Highrs with Cape Colony, South Africa 1901 and South Africa 1902 Clasps, a 1914-15 Trio with 1914-15 Star, War Medal and Victory Medal named to Lieut C. Wickham, R.N.V.R.

Wickham Connaught Rang with Cape Colony, Orange Free State and Transvaal Clasps with accompanying miniature, and a First World War 1914 Star named to Capt M.H.C. DI. C. DE B Wickham Conn Rang, Victory Medal similarly named. A First World War pair named to Cap E.T. E. DE C. DE B. Wickham. With Trio of miniatures, Two Second World War Defence Medals and A War Medal. Captain E.T. Wickham seems to be Evelyn Twsden who is recorded with the Royal Navy, as a Lieutenant Commander aboard H.M.S. Repulse, being promoted from Commander to Captain when placed on the retired list on the 30th June 1921. Captain Wickham appears to have been Montague Hill Clephane De Cristoforo De Bouillon Wickham, born on Malta the 22nd October 1878, to Father Colonel Edmund Hill Wickham (1842 - 1907) of the Royal Artillery, and mother Eugenie (Paloeologus) De C Wickham. He died of wound on May the 9th 1915. He was the son of The Princess Paleologue who was resident at 34 Charleville Road, W. Kensington. Claiming direct descent from the last Byzantine Emperor Constantine Paleologus, the Princess, considered by some a pretender, she was received with Royal Honours when she entered Greece during the reign of King George I in 1898 and her claim was recognised in Russia where she was styled 'Imperial Highness'. In a report of a court case in 1929 her name is given as Marie Erselie Eugenie Orades Laurentia Vincenza Nicola Antonia Wickham. The report of the case sheds a fascinating insight into the generous life of the Princess who seems to have been generous to a fault: 'Her house as a result, had been the refuge of every "down and out" and waster for years, for they could always be sure of sponging on her so long as she had a crust to spare'. Captain Wickham served with the 5th Battalion of the Connaught Rangers, receiving his commission in May 1898 serving in South Africa and with the Western Frontier Force from 1908 - 1914. He is commemorated on the Menin Gate. With copied research. *CR: Lacking some ribbons and usual tarnishing to medals. *BP 22.5% (18.75% plus VAT) plus a lot fee of £8 inc. VAT on each lot.

A First World War group of four comprising Distinguished Service Order, 1914/15 Star named to Capt H. Gardiner W. Rid R, War Medal and Victory Medal with Mentioned in Dispatches Oak Leaf named to Major H. Gardiner. The medals mounted as worn on apparently original ribbons. Mounted in a glazed frame beneath the recipient's ribbon bar. With the recipients 1897 Pattern Infantry Officers Sword, the 82cm un-sharpened blade with elaborate etched decoration, Royal cipher, coat of arms and script signature 'Harry Gardiner', marked for Robt. Mole & Sons, Birmingham, Maker to the War and India Offices' with broad guard with V.R. beneath a Crown, wire bound fish skin handle and leather sword knot. With service and dress scabbards. Harry Gardiner was born at Alva on the 31st May 1873, the son of James Gardiner, a mechanic and Margaret Gardner of 16 Stirling Street, Alva and later to Warriston Villa, Dean Crescent, Stirling. Educated at Alva and Dollar Institution he had family in Alva and Tillicoultry. Remembered in the family as 'A bit of a boy!' he was to have a successful and decorated military career. Initially commissioned in 1893 with the Inniskilling Fusiliers (Militia) he moved to the regular army in 1895 serving with the West Riding Regiment. He saw postings around the Empire including service in India, Burmah and West Africa with the West African Regiment from 10th April 1909. His rank of Captain came with a seniority date of 23rd December 1909. During the First World War he served with the 8th Battalion of the Duke of Wellington's (West Riding Regiment) which was a K1 Service Battalion, raised in Halifax in August of 1914 it formed part of 34th Brigade, 11th Division, later 32nd Brigade with the same Division. In July 1915 they sailed from Liverpool for the Mediterranean arriving at Mudros. Like so much of the Gallipoli Campaign the landings at Suvla were far from successful. In an attempt to relieve pressure on those at Anzac the operation grew into a divisional attack on the high ground of Tekke Tepe and other high points above the landing site. Gardiner and the 8th Battalion were among the first to land at Suvla on the 6th August. The landings were chaotic, troops became mixed up with the 10th and 11th Divisions becoming confused, and by all accounts many of the inexperienced men huddled on the beach doing there utmost to avoid the sniper's fire. In 90 degrees heat the chronic lack of water, poor planning, inadequate maps and slow progress added to the chaos. As ever the Turkish defense was better and more skillful than had been expected with all the advantages of the terrain and the climate, the casualties were high. It is in this environment that an experienced officer like Harry Gardiner will have had to do all that they could to motivate and lead their men. With something in the order of 1,700 casualties in the first 24 hours he was far from alone in being wounded and the numbers killed and injured will have added to the appalling nature of this landing. After the disaster of the initial landing one account records the events of the night of the 8th/9th. 'At dusk on 8 August, the battalion moved up on the left of the West Yorkshire Regiment. At 4.00 a.m. on 9th August the Regiment advanced to attack the hills of Tekke Tepe, following along behind the East Yorkshire pioneers' Sir Ian Hamilton was keen to take the high ground before the Turkish defense became well established. Unfortunately the Turks were better prepared than had been expected and the 8th were forced to retire having lost many officers and men in the forlorn attempt to establish themselves on the heights. Captain Gardiner was awarded his DSO for his bravery and leadership during the landings, Gazetted on the 29th October 1915: "Harry Gardiner, Capt, 2nd Battn The Duke of Wellington's (West Riding Regiment.), attached 8th Battalion. For conspicuous Gallantry and determination during operation at Suvla Bay, Gallipoli Peninsula on the 8th Aug 1915. He continued to lead his men forward after being twice wounded, and only gave up after being wounded a third time.' Interestingly the Imperial War Museum have a photograph in their First World War Portraits Collection of Captain Gardiner in uniform wearing his DSO, perhaps taken at the time of the award (HU114869). Records for the 7th August 1915 show a reported of his being wounded and entitles to a wound stripe. His Mention in Dispatches is dated the 11th December 1915 (Gazette 28/1/16) The Mention comes from General Sir Ian Hamilton Commander in Chief of the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force, so presumably also for service at Gallipoli. The Gallipoli campaign ended with the evacuation at the beginning of December. Captain Gardiner was just one of over 115,000 British and Dominion troops becoming casualties of this Campaign. On the 7th February 1916 the Battalion arrived in Egypt before arriving in France by July of the same year to make up numbers for those being lost on the Somme. Rising to the rank of Temporary Lt Col in the West Riding Regiment from 15th January 1917, a rank which he relinquished on ceasing to command a Battalion on the 11th October 1917. With a printed thirteen verse poem 'For England Home and Beauty' by C. Louise Gaster dated December 5th 1915. Probably written for a local Stirling audience the poem tells the tale of the brave Captain 'I've told you a tale of a Captain brave ...They're going to fight for England's Sake ... Amongst them, their Captain, a Scotsman, I'm told ... Soon with his men, a landing is made ... Behind those heights his deadly foe ... A quick look round to his men behind, A wave of his sword o'er his head ...he falls- He's up! He's on! ... But now he's down ... Tend him with casre; he's done his bit ... He's git his D.S.O. Also with a letter to the recipient's nephew dated 17.12.16 from the Golden Lion Hotel Newmarket regarding a Christmas present, it is interesting to think of him, no doubt still recovering from wounds having been back in the country for a short period of time writing to his family to reassure them that all was well and attempting to forget the horrors of the weeks that have just gone by. Another letter from 1903 posted from Darjeeling congratulating his brother on the birth of the nephew 'probably he will be wanting to be an officer too when he grows up''. A third letter written in pencil dated 15th November 1917 and 'passed by Censor' 'I can tell you that the trenches is not a comfortable place to be in'. With seven photographs, two of Harry in uniform, one 'British Infantry Class'. Sold by a direct descendant of the recipient. *CR: Documents showing age as are photographs. *BP 22.5% (18.75% plus VAT) plus a lot fee of £8 inc. VAT on each lot.
