Four: Lieutenant S. Morris, Royal Engineers, late Liverpool Regiment 1914-15 Star (2.Lieut. S. Morris. R.E.); British War and Victory Medals (Lieut. S. Morris.); Belgium, Kingdom, Croix de Guerre, A.I.R., bronze, nearly extremely fine (4) £140-£180 --- Belgian Croix de Guerre London Gazette 12 April 1918. Stanley Morris was born in Sefton Park, Liverpool, on 4 July 1890. Educated at Holt Secondary School and Beaumaris Grammar School in North Wales, he initially attested for the 6th (Rifle) Battalion, King’s (Liverpool) Regiment, as Rifleman, and was later appointed to a commission with the Western Cable Telegraph Company, Royal Engineers. Embarked for France in September 1915, he served as Signals Officer at 81st Brigade Headquarters, Royal Garrison Artillery. In common with many at the time, his service career was blighted by poor health, most notably stomach complaints; he spent October and early November 1918 at the 2nd London General Hospital and was later readmitted to the 1st Eastern General Hospital in January 1919. Sold with copied Officer’s Service Record.

An extremely unusual ‘Casualty’ pair awarded to Private C. E. Coombes, Royal Scots Fusiliers, who was accidentally killed on parade in France when a comrade in the rank behind him accidentally discharged a rifle round into his back from point-blank range British War and Victory Medals (6232 Pte. C. E. Coombes. R. Scots.) nearly extremely fine (2) £80-£100 --- Charles Edward Coombes was born around 1888, the son of Samuel and Martha Coombes of 6 Church Street, Shipton-under-Wychwood, Oxford. Enlisting at Lutterworth in Leicestershire, he served on the Western Front from 7 September 1916 and was wounded in action on 23 April 1917, being evacuated home a week later. Returning to the fray on 10 September, his life was tragically cut short on 23 November 1917, just moments after retiring from the front line. Perhaps uniquely, the exact circumstances relating to his death are available in his Army Service Record. Called to parade, 'C' Company of the 6/7th Royal Scots Fusiliers formed up, with Coombes taking his place in the front rank of his platoon. It was then that a live round was discharged by No. 25382 Pte. David Andrews, striking Coombes from behind on the left side of the spine. Crying out in pain, Coombes staggered a few feet before collapsing. Subsequent medical attention proved futile. Witness testimony from Lance Corporal Nunn, adds: 'Immediately afterwards a shot went off and Private Coombes, who was in front staggered to the rear and fell. Pte. Andrews dropped his rifle, ran forward a few steps and threw himself down in tears. He seemed very, very much upset.’ Tried by Field General Court Martial, the case against Andrews appeared clear cut, the man declaring 'it was me!' at the scene and offering a written statement - supported by a number of further witnesses who testified to a failure to deploy the safety catch and check whether there was a round in the chamber upon returning from sentry duty. Sentenced to one year's imprisonment with hard labour, the punishment was later suspended - possibly on account of the statement by Lieutenant-Colonel Gordon, in Command: '...Pte. Andrews is stated by all who know him to be a very careful man, therefore I consider that this was a special case of negligence, contrary to this man's ordinary character.'  Aged 29 years, Coombes now rests at Level Crossing Cemetery at Fampoux in the Pas de Calais, his headstone bearing the inscription 'R.I.P.'. Private Andrews appears to have survived the war after being transferred following this incident to the 1st and 12th Battalions of the Regiment.

He was severely wounded at Grootvlei on 26 December 1900, whilst serving with ‘F’ Company, under Captain C. Radclyffe. The Rifle Brigade at Grootvlei
After a quiet Christmas based at the Oceana Mine near Grootvlei, Lieutenant-Colonel A. Colville, 1st Battalion, Rifle Brigade, proceeded on a farm-clearing expedition, with a small column consisting of six companies of the 1st Battalion, a squadron of the 13th Hussars, four guns of 63 Battery, Royal Field Artillery, as well as one ‘pom-pom’. Colville left ‘F’ Company under the command of Captain Radclyffe, as well as some artillerymen, to guard the baggage wagons based at the mine. The column moved out in the direction of Roddewal, where after five miles they became involved in a small skirmish at the first of the target farms. During the skirmish a large party of approximately 450 Boers were spotted heading towards the Oceana Mine. A signal was sent to Captain Radclyffe informing him of this development, and he at once set about disposing his small force in an attempt to protect the baggage, with the pom-pom located near a small hollow. After a couple of hours had passed a number of mounted Boers appeared on a ridge a thousand yards away. As Radclyffe’s men opened fire the Boers dismounted, pushed forward, and sent out small parties to the left and right in an encircling movement against the Rifle Brigade position. Under heavy and accurate fire the pom-pom was moved down towards the hollow and back towards the compound – of the nine men who assisted in moving the pom-pom one was killed and the other eight all wounded. Seeing that the enemy were now advancing in considerable force, Radclyffe decided to send the baggage back to the column, whilst attempting to hold the Boers in check for as long as possible. Under cover of heavy Rifle Brigade fire from behind the wagons, the native teams began inspanning the oxen. When they were ready to move the native teams started off the wagons in the direction of Colville’s column and, as they did so, the small Rifle Brigade covering party came under very severe fire and had to retire, as the Boers saw that they were losing their target. During this time, Radclyffe and his sections continued their holding action but suffered a number of casualties, with their ammunition running out fast. With the baggage now well on its way, Radclyffe, who was lying wounded, ordered those in advanced positions who could do so to retire to the compound so as to avoid capture. No. 1 section provided covering fire until their ammunition ran out, at which point the Boers advanced rapidly, forcing their surrender, along with the wounded soldiers. Fortunately, at this point, the main column appeared on the horizon, forcing the Boers to withdraw, leaving their wounded prisoners behind. For some time the wounded on the ridge were exposed to fire from both the returning column and the Boers, and a corporal was seen to make a valiant attempt to carry the wounded Radclyffe to safety. Total losses that day were heavy, with 13 Officers and men killed, 44 wounded, and 19 taken prisoner. For his gallantry in defending the position, Captain Radclyffe was awarded the D.S.O. (article in the O.M.R.S. Journal, Winter 1995 refers.) Discharged, Jefferies saw further service during the Great War, initially with the 2nd County of London Yeomanry (Westminster Dragoons) in the Egyptian theatre of War from 5 November 1914, and then at the Rifle Brigade Depot, being awarded a Silver War Badge. Sold with copied medal roll extracts (with his surname spelt as it appears on the relevant medals); and other research, including an article entitled ‘The Rifle Brigade Near Grootvlei, Boxing Day 1900’, published in the Winter 1995 O.M.R.S.

He served at Jamaica, 5 years 1 month, and on the North Coast of Spain, 3 years 8 months. ‘He distinguished himself at the relief of Bilboa in December 1836, and in the operations of 10th and 16th March 1837.

He was discharged at Portsmouth on 10 January 1854, having been found unfit for further service from chronic rheumatism.
