A NEW ZEALAND ALL BLACKS RUGBY UNION SHIRT FROM SGT. HUBERT SYDNEY TURTILL (1880-1918) WORN v AUSTRALIA IN 1905. TOGETHER WITH CAPS & RELATED EPHEMERAProvenance: New Zealand born vendor is the great-great grandson of the player.Jum Turtill was one of the most gifted fullbacks of the Edwardian era, his number of All Blacks caps curtailed to a single test as he became the infamous ‘dual-code player’ - switching to the All Gold rugby league professionals. Jum was killed in action during the Great War, in Givenchy, France in April 1918. The shirt with embroidered fern badge and iconic stitched canvas quilt overlaid to the upper section, complete with original drawstring. There are a few holes but structurally fine without extensive damage. Included in the parcel; an All Blacks cap bearing fern with NZ cypher, complete with tassel. Also, a two-tone felt cap with tassel, bearing Canterbury crest and bearing internal label for J Ballantyne & Co, Christchurch. Also an original black and white official photo of Jum in the shirt, a British War Graves Photographic Association black and white photograph of Jum’s grave in France and a black and white photograph of a soldier in uniform (not clear whether this is Jum). Also, in the parcel, two original caricature sketches of Jum in playing action, by the famous Beano cartoonist Reg Carter, both signed and dated 1908.Hubert Sydney Turtill was the youngest of four children of Arthur and Alice. He was born on February 1st 1880 in Mile End, London a few days after his father died, aged only 32. At the age of four, once strong enough for the long sea-voyage, Alice took Sydney and her young family to New Zealand for a new life, a country where she had relatives. During the voyage, Sydney was bestowed the nickname ‘Jumbo’ because of his puppy-fat, later became simply ‘Jum’ and this name stuck despite Jum developing a fine athletic frame as he grew into a young man. The Turtills settled in Christchurch where Jum attended West Christchurch School between 1885-1892.Jum stated that he started playing rugby as a wing forward in 1893. In 1898 he was fullback for the Christchurch Albion club B team and was promoted to the A team the next year at the age of 19. Jum was also a competitive swimmer in his formative years and trained as a volunteer with the Christchurch Engineers Corps, he was a keen competitor at rifle shooting competitions against other regiments. At 22 years old, Jum made his Canterbury debut as full-back, playing nine games that season. He was noted as a player with a lot of promise who ‘fields a ball in splendid style, and knows how to tackle’. In 1905, he was selected for a Canterbury-South Canterbury combined XV against Australia which they won 8-3 at Lancaster Park. On the same day it was announced that he had been selected for New Zealand v Australia. This was to be the first test to be hosted in New Zealand between the two sides and the first international to be played on the South Island. The match venue was transferred from Dunedin’s Caledonian ground to Tahuna Park because heavy rain had made the former unplayable and so it was watched by only 3,000 spectators who braved the horrendous elements. New Zealand were victors 14-3 and it was said that Jum excelled with a perfect display of kicking and defending despite the conditions. However, it was to be his only All Blacks cap. Jum played his last club game on July 6th 1907, the same day as the Professional All Blacks team was selected for a tour to England. He had signed up for the privately organised tour where they would play ‘Northern Union’ rules. It is said that Jum had been attracted to the prospect of visiting his country of birth.The pioneering professional team visited Sydney, where they defeated New South Wales three times in eight days but playing rugby union rules. The Australian press nicknamed the New Zealanders the ‘All Golds’ - a reference to the slice of the gate-money to be received in England. The tourists also defeated Ceylon (Sri Lanka) playing union rules. It wasn’t until they arrived in England in October 1907 that the players actually learned the league code! Over the next five months, through to February 1908, the All Golds played 35 league matches, mainly against club teams, winning 19 times. Jum excelled at fullback playing in all but two of the matches. International tests were played against Wales (lost 9-8), England (lost 18-16) and Great Britain (lost 14-6, won 18-6 and won 8-5). The British press referred to the team as the ‘All Blacks’ while the Southern Hemisphere press tended to use ‘All Golds’. On their return the tourists played a further 10 games in Australia including three tests with Jum captaining the first league test between the two countries, leading New Zealand to an 11-10 victory. The All Golds won the series 2-1. In all, the team toured for 10 months, playing 49 games and beating both Great Britain and Australia to a test series. When the All Golds finally arrived back in New Zealand, they played an exhibition match at Wellington which was the first ever match of Rugby League in the country and captained by Jum Turtill. After the tour Jum returned to normal life working as a sheet metal worker and married Mabel Edith Hancock in 1908. In 1909 he lost his job, a twist of fate that changed his life and ultimately may have cost it. As a way out Jum accepted an offer from St Helens club in Lancashire with a signing-on fee of £200 and £2.2/- per game. He played his first match for St Helens on September 9th and set himself up as a tobacconist. The couple had three sons born in England. Jum was considered by the English sporting press as an artist at fullback, one of the great pioneers in the position, brining attacking instinct when it was traditionally considered exclusively a position of defence and conservatism. Jum’s career continued until he retired at the end of the 1913/14 season. During his five years at St Helens he played 137 games, scoring three tries and kicking 198 goals amassing 403 points. He ran the Nelson Hotel in Bridge Street, St Helens and looked forward to a settled life as a well-known and respected publican of the town. But at the outset of war, Jum joined the Royal Engineers and was part of the Territorial Force the 422nd Field Company, which was under command of the 55th (West Lancashire) Division. Jum saw action at Hellencourt and Bretencourt, before the first battle of the Somme. Later, fields in Guillemont, Ginchy, Ribemont, Flers-Courcelette and Morval and the Ypres became Jum’s home, he existed in muddy hellish trenches which were bombarded constantly by artillery fire and gas. He survived massacres at Pilkem Ridge and Menin Road Ridge, but on April 9th, 1918, Jum was killed at Givenchy from a shell burst. Jum Turtill was 38 years old. Jum Turtill is buried at Brown’s Road Military Cemetery, Festubert, Pas de Calais.The Defence of Givenchy was to become one of the single most famous actions of the war. It was afterwards publicly stated by an officer of the German General Staff that the stand made there by the British on April 9th, and the days which followed, marked the final ruination of the supreme German effort of 1918. Thirteen All Blacks lost their lives in the WWI including the captain of the Original All Blacks Dave Gallaher. The family of the vendor request that the purchaser considers occasional access for Jum’s descendants and family to see the shirt should they request in the future.

Pink Floyd - The Wall - Two Movie Promotional Books. The two spiral bound books of largely unseen design art for the aborted, original concept for the film were produced in limited numbers as a selling tool to potential investors, and few are believed to still exist. The two books follow a similar format with subtle differences. The books are a visual aid to understanding both how the film will be made and how it will look when finished. Printed in full colour on 16 x 12 inches card stock and spiral bound. A rare and intriguing snapshot of a work (then) in progress.Background - The 1982 film version of Pink Floyd's seminal concept album was fraught with difficulties during it's production. The film's original format was to be comprised of footage of the band playing live at Earls Court in London, with animation by political cartoonist and illustrator Gerald Scarfe spread throughout the film. Director Alan Parker found the concert footage to be unusable, and Floyd bassist/songwriter/screenwriter Roger Waters -- who had envisioned himself as the star of the show -- wasn't suitable as an actor. Replacing him with Boomtown Rats front man Bob Geldof, Parker was able to attract the attention of MGM and ultimately complete the film. (Parker and Waters butted heads the whole time, the former calling it the most expensive student film ever made and the latter ultimately disowning it.)Provenance: This lot has been consigned by Oxfam and all proceeds go to the charity. .
