And the staff of the British Military Mission to China. British Embassy, Chung King, W. China 30 – 10 – 42’. Lot also includes a pair of fire dog tags, a metal dog tag and an assortment of RASC buttons and badges. Mission 204 was initially led by Brigadier Lancelot E. Dennys until his death in an air crash on 14th March 1942 after which command transferred to Major General John Geoffrey Bruce. The purpose of the mission was to foster Anglo-Chinese cooperation against the Japanese by training Chinese ‘Surprise Troops’ (the Chinese Nationalists did not like the use of the word guerrilla due to its association with the Communist forces). In February 1942 three Commando Contingents, each of 50 men, travelled over 3000km through Burma into China to join Lieutenant-Colonel Chen Ling Sun’s Chinese 5th Battalion. Due to communication issues between the British and Chinese Forces the Mission did not fare well and in September 1942 the troops were withdrawn as they had little confidence in the Chinese Commander under whom they were serving, and it was perceived that they were not being used to any benefit by the Chinese military.

We are unsure of the age of this painting, we advise all interested parties to arrange personal viewing to satisfy themselves as to the age and condition. Due to size the item is sold as seen. We are not able to offer in house post and packing on this lot. Specialist shipping or collection required. An obituary for Lieutenant Henry Butterworth gives the following information, “Henry Butterworth Esq, of Heybrook, near Rochdale, a magistrate of the county palastine of Lancaster. In the year 1805 he obtained a commission in the 1st Royal Regiment of Lancashire Militia, from which he volunteered for the regular army, and on the 25th of August 1807, was appointed to the 32nd or Cornwall Regiment of Foot, taking with him 32 men (the same number as the regiment he joined) from the 1st Royal Lancashire. Shortly after joining the 32nd Regiment he was ordered to the Peninsula, and was in the battles of Roleia, Vimiera, Talavera, Salamanca (where a musket ball passed through his body), Pyrenees, Nevill, Nive and others; also at the lines of Torres Vedras, and in several minor affairs, for which he received the Peninsula medal with eight bars. Served also in the campaign of 1815, and was at the battle of Waterloo, for which he also received a medal, and, although there wounded three times, did not quit the field. For 12 years he was a Lieutenant in the 32nd Regiment, nine years in actual service, and during that period he was wounded seven times, three being severe body wounds.” The obituary also sates that 14 veterans of the Waterloo and Peninsula campaign attended his funeral wearing their medals. Interesting to note that some old records state entitlement to eight clasps for the Military General Service medal, but the roll only states the six clasps he is wearing in this painting. The Book “Wellington’s Men Remembered” gives the following details about his severe wound during the battle of Salamanca, “He was well liked by his men and he when he was severely wounded at Salamanca, one of his men, Private Ashbridge from Smallbridge carried him to find medical assistance”. See previous lot for portrait of his brother in the 3rd Royal Lancashire Militia

R. WARDLE DURH. L.I.” Ralph Wardle was a 19 year old Miner from Greenwood Gate, Bishop Auckland, Co. Durham when he attested for the Durham Light Infantry in September 1914. Arriving in France on 11th September 1915 he served as a Bugler in C Company and his record shows he was wounded 3 times in 1916 (19/2, 27/4 and 18/9). He received multiple shrapnel wounds on 22nd April 1917 during the Battalions attack on Dynamite Magazine in the Lens/Loos sector of the line. The initial attack was successful but during the day heavy casualties were taken from sniping, bombardments and multiple counter attacks until at 4.45pm the 25 remaining men retreated to Nero trench. At some time during the day Ralph was transferred to 33 C.C.S. where he died from his wounds 2 days later. During the period 20-23rd April the battalion’s casualties were 2 Officers and 24 Other Ranks killed, 10 Officers and 173 Other Ranks wounded and 24 missing. It is sobering to note that the page of the roll for the 1914-15 star on which Ralph Wardle’s name appears has 12 other names listed all of whom are also shown as dead. Ralph Wardle is buried in Bethune Town Cemetery in the Pas de Calais, France
