Signature of Colonel John Rouse Merriott Chard VC, Commander During the Defence of Rorkes Drift on 22nd – 23rd January 1879, fine example of a inked signature cut from most likely a letter. Remains in good condition with the signature still remaining clear. Signed when he was a Colonel so the letter would have been written after the famous action. John Chard was born on 21st December 1847 in Plymouth, Devon. He was educated at Cheltenham Grammar School and Plymouth New Grammar School before enrolling in the Royal Military Academy in Woolwich. On 14 July 1868 Chard received a commission as a lieutenant in the Royal Engineers and continued his training at Chatham for the next two years.The 5th Company Royal Engineers were sent to Natal, South Africa in December 1878. Chard and some sappers, were sent to repair and maintain the ponts, used to cross the Buffalo River into Zululand, this was right along from the Mission station at Rorkes Drift, which was the staging post for the invasion into Zululand. Chard and his men set up base at the mission station until they were requested to join Lord Chelmsford’s main invasion force which had set up camp at Isandlwana. When Chard and his men arrived at the camp, Chard was ordered to return to Rorkes Drift as he was said not to be needed, only his sappers were required. It has been said that Chard, witnessed the Zulu army approaching the camp, whilst returning to Rorkes Drift and that he informed Major General Spalding, the highest ranking officer at the station, of the situation. When Spalding left Rorkes Drift to get reinforcements, this left Chard as the senior officer, over Lieutenant Bromhead of the 24th Regiment of Foot. The Zulu impi, which contained some 3,000–4,000 men, was sighted advancing on their position. This caused the Natal Native Contingent troops to panic and desert the station, reducing the number of defenders from around 350 to approximately 140 (including 30 sick and wounded). Lieutenant Chard immediately ordered an additional barricade of biscuit boxes to be built across the inner perimeter to provide a smaller fall-back area should the Zulus overwhelm a part of the thinly manned perimeter. The first waves of Zulu assault were repulsed by British volley fire, but the attackers pushed on relentlessly, particularly along a vulnerable section of the British perimeter by the hospital which became the centre of fierce hand-to-hand combat. With British casualties mounting, Chard ordered his troops to withdraw behind the biscuit boxes, which left the western half of the station in Zulu hands, including the hospital, which was subsequently set alight by the attackers. Once inside, Chard ordered the construction of a redoubt made from a tall pyramid of mealie bags to provide shelter to the wounded and form the last line of defence. The Zulus continued to attack in intermittent waves during the night, but they were illuminated by the burning thatch, which enabled the defenders to spot their advances. By 5 am, the exhausted Zulus had abandoned the attack, and British reinforcements arrived later that morning. Chard counted 351 dead Zulus scattered around the perimeter. The British suffered 17 killed and 10 wounded. Chard remained at Rorke's Drift for several weeks after the battle and assisted with the construction of a new stone perimeter wall. However, conditions at the camp were poor; Chard became ill with fever and was taken to Ladysmith for treatment. Once recovered he was attached to Colonel Evelyn Wood's column for the second invasion of the Zulu Kingdom. Meanwhile, Chard's report of the battle had been dispatched to England and received with enthusiasm by the British press and public. The War Office subsequently promoted Chard to captain and brevet major and awarded him and 10 other defenders of the station with Victoria Cross. His fellow officers were not impressed with the award, and both him and Gonville Bromhead VC, were ridiculed by superior officers, with Lieutenant General Sir Garnet Wolseley, describing the action as “rats [fighting] for their lives which they could not otherwise save". It was Wolseley who had to present Chard with his Victoria Cross. Chard remained in Zululand and was present in the British square during the decisive victory of the war at Ulundi.
Signed Hand Written Letter from Lord Chelmsford, Commander in Chief of the British Forces in South Africa 1878-79, the four page letter written in ink to a Mr Francis, dated 2nd July 1880, on headed paper for 50 Stanhope Gardens, South Kensington. Signed to the reverse by Chelmsford. Remains in good condition. Placed in a album page with typed details and a black and white period image of Chelmsford in civilian dress with ink annotation below. General the 2nd Lord Chelmsford, GCB, was the commander in chief of the British forces in South Africa. He commanded 5,400 imperial soldiers, 1,200 colonial volunteers and 10,000 natives. Lord Chelmsford crossed the Buffalo river with his invasion force into Zululand and made camp with his men under the mountain at Isandlwana. He had left with his force to find the Zulu army when they attacked the remaining force in the camp. He returned too late to save the camp, but followed the Zulus to Rorkes Drift where he feared would also have fallen to the Zulu’s because of the much smaller garrison that was left. He stated, “to our intense relief, however, the waving of hats was seen from inside of a hastily erected entrenchment and information soon reached me that the gallant garrison of this post --- had for 12 hours made the most gallant resistance I have ever heard of, against the determined attack of some 3,000 Zulus, 370 of whose bodies surrounded the post”.

HINDLE JAMES 22.XVII.18 R.A.F.” A rare group of medals to a real character, many of Huck’s extensive handwritten diaries are available to view on-line. Harold Hindle James, known as Huck to his family was born on 1st March 1894 in Clifton, Bristol the son of a college professor. Most of his childhood was spent in the UK but between 1903 and 1906 he and his family were living in India. His father remained in India as the Principal of the Presidency College in Calcutta when the family returned. He attended Dulwich College and in 1912 he went on to read English Literature at Christ Church, Oxford. On the outbreak of war in August 1914 Huck gave up his studies and was commissioned 2nd Lieutenant in the Somerset Light Infantry. In March 1915 he transferred to the Royal Flying Corps serving as an Observer in 10 Squadron later moving to 14 Sqdn in Egypt. He returned to Britain in May 1916 to train as a pilot (Aviators Certificate issued 17th July 1916, no.3225). In September of the same year he returned to Egypt, stationed on the Suez Canal he provided air support for the Allied advance across the desert to El Arish. In January 1917 he moved to Rabegh in the Hedjaz, in what is now Saudi Arabia, where he supported the ‘Arab Revolt’ against the Turks conducting both reconnaissance and bombing missions assisting the forces on the ground one of whom included Lawrence of Arabia. After this he spent a short spell in Aden and Palestine before he was invalided back to Britain in June 1917. In Summer 1918 he returned to active duty on the Italian front as a flight commander in 66 Sqdn. carrying out patrols and bombing missions. In October 1918 he was involved in the destruction of an Austrian balloon but in doing so was wounded (GSW to the cheek) and was forced to land in no-man’s land on an island in the Piave river where he was later rescued by Italian forces. Post war he was posted to Egypt, to Constantinople and then to Iraq. 2 years in Britain followed after which he returned to Iraq from 1924 to 1929. Invalided out of the RAF in January 1931 he then spent several years travelling until in 1935 he was back in Egypt where he was offered a position as a volunteer civilian liaison officer at RAF Headquarters. He travelled extensively through the Middle East making contact with many leading Royal and Political figures, his interference in politics though upset the British Embassy in Cairo to the extent that they attempted, unsuccessfully, to get him expelled from the country. Post Second World War, he continued to be based in Egypt carrying out charitable activities and making occasional personal trips out of the country until in June 1967, during the Six Day War, and at the age of 73, he was arrested, mistreated and expelled by the Egyptian authorities.

Because he was born in Austria, he spoke fluent German, because of this he was placed under the Field Security Section of the Intelligence Corps. Newspaper articles written during the 50 year commemoration of the liberation of the Belsen camp gives us details of Walters time with Irma Grese and how he found her, “He found a young woman hiding in a barn a few miles away from the camp – her blonde hair was matted with straw and she wore only the tattered remains of her Nazi uniform. She looked scared”. Jokel was selected as her sole interrogator, he states in the article, “despite 12 intense days alone with her – he never saw fear in her blue eyes again, only glee”. He continues to say, “I thought I had been hardened by the war. I thought nothing could shock me. But Grese did. In the seclusion of a small wooden hut, she boasted to Jokel about her violent acts”. The evidence that Jokel provided at the Belsen War Crimes trial, helped convict Irma Grese of war crimes and he watched as she was hanged at Hamelin in December 1945. Walter Jokel parachuted into Normandy on 6th June 1944, he also participated in Operation Market Garden and the Rhine Crossing. See lot 1215, 1245 and 1498 for the souvenirs Jokel brought home as war booty. This collection has been consigned directly from the daughter of Walter Jokel and has never been offered on the collecting market before.
WW2 British Home Front Helmet Mobile First Aid Post, standard WW2 British steel helmet with black over paint and white stencilled to the centre “M.F.A.P”. Helmet is complete with 1939 dated liner system and webbing chinstrap. Some rusting to the top of the shell but generally a good example.
Historically Important WW2 American M1 Helmet Belonging to Major General Robert McGowan Littlejohn, Chief Quartermaster for the European Theatre of Operations (E.T.O), Hugely Responsible for the Equipment of the US Troops During the D-Day Landings and the Normandy Campaign, fine example of a fixed bale M1 steel combat helmet shell with split to the front seam. Helmet has a rough textured green paint finish to the exterior and fitted with two Generals rank stars which have been screwed into the shell with small bolt fittings to the reverse. Helmet is complete with the original webbing two piece chinstrap which has his name inked to the underside. Remains in very good overall condition. Major General Robert McGowan Littlejohn was born on 23rd October 1890 in Jonesville, South Carolina. He attended the United States Military Academy at West Point on 2nd March 1908. He graduated from West Point on 12th June 1912. His first post was to the American 8th Cavalry regiment in the Philippines. He returned with his regiment to the USA and was involved in the Pancho Villa Expedition. He later moved to the 17th Cavalry regiment where he was placed in charge of the Machine Gun Unit. On 11th June 1918, he assumed command of the 332nd Machine Gun battalion of 86th Division. The unit moved to the Western Front in September 1918, but did not see active service until after the armistice was signed. They took part in the occupation of the Rhineland in 1919. Between the wars, Littlejohn continued to serve in the US Army, mostly in the USA, rising up through the ranks in many of the staff and logistical departments. In January 1938, he was sent for his second tour of duty in the Philippines, he ended his tour as the Quartermaster of the Philippine Department. He returned to the USA in June 1940. From June 1940 to May 1942, Littlejohn commanded the Clothing and Equipage Branch in the Office of the Quartermaster General. The division was primarily concerned with procurement, but was accustomed to working closely with the Standardisation Branch, which was responsible for design and development. He was promoted to Colonel on 16 November 1940 and Brigadier General on 30 January 1942. In May 1942, Littlejohn was appointed Quartermaster General of the European Theatre of Operations (ETO) by the new CG-SOS-ETO Lt. Gen. John C. H. Lee, a position he held for the rest of the war, with the rank of Major General from 3 November 1943. For his services as Quartermaster General, Littlejohn was awarded the Army Distinguished Service Medal with a Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster, the Legion of Merit, the Bronze Star Medal, and foreign awards that included the British Order of the Bath, French Croix de Guerre and Dutch Order of Orange Nassau. His first Distinguished Service Medal citation read, in part:“General Littlejohn displayed marked aggressiveness, exceptional organizing ability, and a superior quality of leadership in rapidly establishing a quartermaster service throughout the theatre which met and solved the many unexpected and seemingly insurmountable problems of supply. By his broad experience, foresight and splendid ability which was largely instrumental under his leadership in solving many complex questions in organization and supply of the African Task Force. His untiring efforts and devotion to duty in this connection contributed markedly to the successful landing of this force in North Africa on November 8, 1942.” His later Oak Leaf Cluster citation noted that he "not only maintained anticipated requirements, but exceeded them". However Littlejohn was severely criticised when winter clothing was not delivered in a timely manner, resulting in thousands of cases of trench foot and frostbite.He was made Major General just before the D-Day landings in June 1944. He was responsible for the complex and difficult task of supplying the allied troops for the invasion of mainland Europe. The US Army Quartermaster Foundation gives the following details, “After a successful landing on D-Day, a stalled drive inland and failure to capture port facilities right away meant that Quartermaster supply soldiers had to continue bringing material in over the beach: sort, store and distribute it along a fairly narrow and dangerous front. If Littlejohn felt good about the initial landing, he was none the less surprised by the effects of strenuous fighting in the Normandy hedgerows. In a matter of weeks, U.S. troops slugging it out in the mud consumed roughly 2 1/2 times the amount of clothing and other Quartermaster items of equipment that he and his staff had planned for. “The capture of each hedgerow meant a life and death race,” he noted afterwards; and in trimming down to meet that race, the American soldier “frequently left behind his overcoat, overshoes, blanket and shelter.” As a result, Littlejohn had to completely re-equip the better part of a million soldiers while still in the early stages of the campaign. The breakout and pursuit that followed only intensified pressure on the Chief Quartermaster, who saw the overall supply picture go from feast to famine. The situation in late summer and early Autumn 1944 illustrated the old adage that a stationary front is the Quartermaster’s dream come true, while a war of unchecked manoeuvre poses as the ultimate nightmare. By September the Allies were required to deliver to forward areas no less than 20,000 tons of supplies daily. As the lines stretched further and further from Cherbourg, the inevitable shortages began to be felt-with crippling effect. Whether it could have been otherwise is debatable. Letters from Littlejohn to a colleague in mid-September give some indication of the trials faced during this period of “frantic resupply:” “It is very difficult,” he wrote, “to sit here and determine current requirements on clothing and equipage. We know that the Maintenance Factors on many items are entirely too low. We also hope that the war will come to an end before many weeks and it will not be necessary to ship troops as originally planned. Somewhere in the field I must make an educated guess.”Littlejohn was discharged from the army in 1946. President Truman appointed him head of War Assets Administration with the responsibility of approximately 34 billion dollars of surplus government property. He died on the 6th May 1982 and is buried at Arlington Military Cemetery. This helmet was gifted to the current vendor back in the 1950’s by a family friend, who had worked as a secretary in Major General Littlejohn’s office. She took the helmet shell from the office as it was left behind when Littlejohn moved. She was using the helmet to store knitting material in. The helmet has never been offered on the collecting market before.

Historically and Regimentally Important Uniform, Paperwork & Equipment Grouping of Major D O Faulkner Royal West Kent Regiment, Taken Prisoner of War in 1940, Made Numerous Escape Attempts and Became the Camp Locksmith, Making Keys so Storerooms Could be Opened to Steal Supplies for Escape Attempts, tunics consist of his Royal West Kent No1 dress tunic which originally was issued to another officer, with brass regimental tunic buttons, rank crown to shoulders and medal ribbons for WW2 and post WW2 service; Royal West Kent regiment officers mess dress uniform with the trousers having some moth damage; post WW2 jungle shirt with regimental slip-on rank slides and cloth formation signs; Royal West Kent regiment field officers No1 dress peaked cap with sterling silver cap badge, regimental forage cap with blue piping to the crown and regimental cap badge; various items of equipment, badges and insignia. Some of the equipment having the name of a different officer, but this was the equipment he was issued with after being released from captivity when he continued to serve in Malaya. Various items of pre-war and post war ephemera relating to him and the regiment. Fine Pre-WW2 photograph album compiled by Major Faulkner of the Royal West Kent regiment in camp and training. Many good photographs in this album showing the troops training in battle dress and steel helmets etc. All bar a couple of the images are believed to have been taken by Faulkner, a pack of negatives also are included with the lot. The most interesting items in the grouping are in what he called his “POW Bag”, these items in my opinion are of incredible historical and social importance and tell the story of his POW life, the first item is a metal handle for a suitcase, but when you look through one end, hidden inside is a tissue paper escape map, the idea being that the case handle would be broken open and then the map removed; an envelope with his name inked, “Denis”, reveals a hand written reconnaissance of the various escape routes which can be taken and gives fascinating insight into what they could do to aid their escape, one extract is as follows, “GERMANY’S WESTERN FRONTIERS – HOLLAND. Apart from VENLO area, which is closely watched, the Dutch station is not well guarded, not difficult to cross.” Later goes on to say, “In the MAASTICHT district it is dangerous to attempt to cross the MEUSE on the ALBERT CANAL, it is better to go due south rather than west into BELGIUM”. This reconnaissance notes covers Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Baltic Ports and the Swiss Frontier. The reconnaissance also covers information on Railway Travel, Travel Permits, Travel on Foot and Stowing Away. These five pages of handwritten reconnaissance would have been vital for Major Faulkner, when attempting to escape captivity. Other items in his ‘POW BAG’ include tissue escape map, silk escape maps and an interesting selection of lock picking tools and keys, which were useful to him as he was in charge of picking locks for the escape committee in the camps he was held in. A photograph taken inside a camp is included and also some un-issued WW2 German cloth insignia which he must have picked up whilst in a camp, possibly for use in a escape attempt? Overall this is an incredible grouping and with the escape reconnaissance sheets, which we have never seen before and possibly unique, a truly historic grouping. Sold by direct descent of the family of Major Faulkner. Major Faulkner’s daughter has written the following account about her father, “Like most POWs my father did not talk about his five years as a POW but he considered himself far more fortunate than those who had been Japanese POW’s. His BEF ID card is dated 2.5.1940 and he was captured on 29.5.1940 in “Godversveldt near Hazebrouk” in northern France near the Belgian border. He did say that as prisoners they were first marched through Belgium and that the locals, particularly when they halted for food and water, were unhelpful.He did talk about trying to escape several times and on his release questionnaire he mentions unsuccessful attempts whilst at Biberach and Warburg. The escape from Warburg is detailed in The London Gazette supplement no 37568 dated 17/5/1946 on page 2340 under the details for Flt Lt Peter Stevens RAFVR. He did say that he became downhearted by his failed attempts to escape and found the penalty of solitary confinement very difficult to bear. He concentrated his efforts on making lock picking tools and perfecting the techniques required so that he could help by opening (and closing) locked buildings and store rooms to obtain or examine things needed to improve their lives or for other escape attempts. He said he had to hide the pick locking tools in the wooden frames of his bed at each camp and it was always a struggle to hide anything when they were being transferred between camps. After the war when he did need his pick locking tools we would ask to see his other few POW mementoes which included the paper thin escape map and the suitcase handle which he said contained another very thin escape map within it. We were never allowed to open it up so I can only assume that is what can be seen in it. We are keeping his dog tags and his POW ID card number 547 dated 21.7.1943 for Rotenburg, his last camp but a photo of it is available. There is a set of 5 escape instructions and one refers to travel since March 1942; they are not written by him but were presumably provided to him in preparation for an escape attempt; I do not remember being told anything more about them. In the small photo of POWs my father is in the back row, second from the right hand end.He did speak about the lack of food as it was a daily problem and his questionnaire commends the Red Cross, British Legion in Switzerland and the English in the Argentine for their help with food parcels. He said they were told that they must eat the skins of potatoes as most of the goodness/vitamins were to be found just under the skin and that it was OK to eat mouldy food just as long as the mould was not orange! We were never quite so convinced by this last piece of advice but my mother would always defer to him on whether we should still eat any food that she was not sure about.In August 1980 Flight Lieutenant Roth raised issues about pay having been deducted from POWs against the issue of camp money and my father wrote to his MP about this. In his letter he says that except in the early days at Laufen there was little or nothing to buy with the camp money. His CO had been a prisoner in the first war for a short time and he told them that a proportion of their pay had been withheld but it had been returned after the war. He said this had the effect of devaluing the camp money between prisoners and that for example a tennis ball with camp money cost £200. In Biberach they had put vast quantities of spoil from at least one tunnel in the roofs of the barrack blocks and were subsequently charged a considerable sum for repairs. He was asked by the escape committee in various camps to put in requests for battle dress, particularly trousers as they were required for cutting up to make bags for carrying soil from escape tunnels. The cost of the uniform was deducted from his credits and he thought from his pay at home. Also at various times fuel for their “chip heaters” for cooking ran out and they burned camp money in order to heat food from their Red Cross parcels.
