Three: Private R. Hayes, 1st Battalion, Northumberland Fusiliers, who was posted missing presumed dead following a counter-attack at Wytschaete, during the Battle of Messines, on 1 November 1914 1914 Star, with copy clasp (1451 Pte R. Hayes. 1/North’d Fus.); British War and Victory Medals (1451 Pte. R. Hayes. North’d Fus.) nearly extremely fine (3) £160-£200 --- Richard Hayes was born in Deptford, London and his service number suggests that he attested for the Northumberland Fusiliers as early as 1886. He served with the 1st Battalion during the Great War from 13 August 1914 and would have taken part with his battalion at the Battles of Mons (and subsequent Retreat), Le Cateau, Marne 1914, Aisne 1914, La Bassée and Messines. During the latter battle, on 1 November 1914, he was reported missing and was later presumed to have died on this date. On 1 November 1914, the 1st Northumberland Fusiliers took part in a counter-attack on Wytschaete. Two companies (W and X) moved forward with the 1st Lincolnshire on the right with two companies (Y and Z) in support. Captain Sandilands recorded seeing the Lincolnshire Regiment disappear into the darkness and the advance being held up by wire. On the left, X Company, came under strong rifle and machine-gun fire from a wood north-west of the village. W Company was also attacked while progressing between the southern edge of the wood and Kemmel-Wystchaete Road. A withdrawal was ordered and the battalion, relieved by the 16th Lancers, fell back to Kemmel. Casualties on the day were 2 officers killed, 2 officers wounded and 1 missing; 83 other ranks killed, wounded or missing. Private Hayes’ next of kin was Miss E. Perren, 20 Marden Road, Bermondsey, London and, having no known grave, he is commemorated on the Ypres (Menin Gate) Memorial, Belgium.

A superb Great War D.C.M. and Second Award Bar, M.M. group of five awarded to Second Lieutenant W. A. Tapsell, 2nd Battalion, later 6th (Service) Battalion, Lincolnshire Regiment, who was decorated with a trio of awards for gallantry on the Western Front in the summer of 1917. Commissioned in April 1918, he died five months later from wounds received in action with the 1st Battalion during the Second Battle of the Somme on 18 September 1918 Distinguished Conduct Medal, G.V.R., with Second Award Bar (8624 Cpl. W. A. Tapsell. 6/Linc: R.); Military Medal, G.V.R. (8624 Cpl. W. A. Tapsell. 6/Linc: R.); 1914 Star, with copy clasp (8624 Pte. W. A. Tapsell. 2/Linc: R.); British War and Victory Medals (2.Lieut. W. A. Tapsell.); Memorial Plaque (William Algernon Tapsell) with Buckingham Palace enclosure, in card envelope and torn OHMS transmission envelope addressed to, ‘Mrs Tapsell, 3 Grove Road, Abbey Wood, S.E.’; together with two riband bars, the first comprising D.C.M., M.M. and 1914 Star, the second D.C.M. and M.M., nearly extremely fine (6) £5,000-£7,000 --- D.C.M. London Gazette 17 September 1917: ‘For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in assisting to dig out nineteen men who had been buried in a dug-out by a gas shell. Finding it impossible, owing to the darkness, to work in a gas helmet, at imminent risk of his life he removed his own, and by his efforts successfully extricated some of the men. The dug-out was full of lethal gas fumes, and six of the men affected subsequently died. He set a splendid example of fearless devotion and self-sacrifice.’ D.C.M. Second Award Bar London Gazette 17 September 1917: ‘For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty when in command of battalion scouts. Having been ordered to reconnoitre in front of our advancing patrols, his party came under heavy and unexpected rifle and machine-gun fire. In spite of this, however, after warning the patrols behind him, he continued to push forward until, owing to several casualties, further advance was impossible, whereupon he withdrew very skilfully with all his wounded back to our lines. Throughout the action he displayed splendid coolness and presence of mind and an utter disregard for personal safety. M.M. London Gazette 21 August 1917. William Algernon Tapsell was born at Abbey Wood, Kent and attested for the Lincolnshire Regiment in 1909. He was stationed at Aden with the 1st Battalion in 1911 and served during the Great War on the Western Front with the 2nd Battalion from 5 November 1914. Having transferred to the 6th (Service) Battalion - after their arrival on the Western Front in July 1916 - he was promoted to Acting Sergeant and decorated three times for gallantry in the summer of 1917, the first award to be gazetted, his Military Medal, almost certainly being awarded in respect of gallantry during the attack at Messines Ridge on 7 June 1917. This was quickly followed by a D.C.M. and a Second Award Bar to the D.C.M., both awards being published in the 17 September 1917 edition of the London Gazette. The following extract from the regimental history appears to reference the period relating to both awards, i.e. 17-27 July 1917: ‘Two days later [17 July 1917] the battalion [6th] took over the front-line trenches. The opposing lines were so close together that when our guns were engaged in shelling the enemy’s front line the Lincolnshire had to temporarily vacate their trenches. The enemy’s retaliation was both systematic and heavy: he used large quantities of gas shells and for several nights box respirators had to be worn continually. Raids were carried out all along the line at this period and one attempted by the Lincolnshire was unsuccessful, as the Divisional Artillery, on the point selected, prevented entry. Relief came on the 24th/25th July, but on the night of the 26th/27th July the battalion was back in the front line. It was reported on the 27th that the enemy had evacuated his front line; as the correctness of this information was doubted a very weak patrol was sent out by the Commanding Officer (Lieut-Colonel Gater) to verify it, which was met by heavy machine-gun and rifle-fire. Lieutenant Playle and five other ranks were wounded. The casualties would have been far heavier if the original report, based on aeroplane reconnaissance, had been accepted.’ (The History of the Lincolnshire Regiment 1914-1918 by C. R. Simpson refers) Lieutenant Playle received the M.C. for his gallantry in this period - his award was published in the same edition of the London Gazette as both of Tapsell’s D.C.M.s. Subsequently discharged to a commission on 19 April 1918, Tapsell died at No. 8 General Hospital, Rouen on 18 September 1918 from wounds received in action on 24 August 1918 whilst serving with the 1st Battalion at the Battle of Albert during the Second Battles of the Somme. The son of Algernon and Mary Jane Tapsell of 3 Grove Road, Abbey Wood, London, he is buried in St. Sever Cemetery, Rouen, France. Sold together with a War Office Certificate of Death describing the recipient’s place and cause of death, dated 7 October 1918, and an original typewritten foolscap document detailing all three of the recipient’s gallantry awards including both D.C.M. citations and also announcing the presentation of said awards by ‘the General Officer Commanding Troops Woolwich, on Sunday, 20th. January, 1918.’- this in its OHMS envelope addressed to, ‘Mr A. Tapsell, 3 Grove Rd. Abbey Wood, London SE2.’

Three: Private J. S. Hawkins, 1st Battalion, Prince Albert’s (Somersetshire Light Infantry), who was captured and taken Prisoner of War at Ligny, during the Battle of Le Cateau, on 26 August 1914 1914 Star, with clasp (9373 Pte. J. S. Hawkins. 1/Som: L.I.); British War and Victory Medals (9373 Pte. J. S. Hawkins. Som. L.I.) good very fine (3) £200-£240 --- John Stanton Hawkins was born in 1893 in Devon and attested for the Somerset Light Infantry in 1912. Following the outbreak of the Great War he sailed for France with the 1st Battalion on 21 August 1914 and three days later, as part of Hunter-Weston’s 11th Brigade in General Snow’s 4th Division, arrived at Le Cateau. After marching forward 7 miles towards Briastre, the 1st Somersets occupied high ground towards Solesmes where they engaged a German Cavalry patrol and together with 11th Brigade assisted in covering the retreat of II Corps and 19th Brigade following the Battle of Mons. Withdrawn overnight, the 4th Division then took up new positions on the left flank of the 3rd Division coming under the command of II Corps just as General Smith-Dorrien decided to make his stand in the rolling country around Le Caudry, to the west of Le Cateau - Smith Dorrien declaring, ‘Very well, gentlemen, we will fight, and I will ask General Snow to act under me as well.’ Smith-Dorrien’s decision to fight this important delaying rearguard action may well have saved the British from destruction by the massive German onslaught during the general Allied retreat following sustained German successes at the four Battles of the Frontiers. The location, a long ridge running west-east with Le Cateau at its eastern end, was far from ideal. The ground was soft, so easy for the troops to dig in, but it lacked cover, was dominated by a German-held ridge to the north and, worst of all, both flanks were open. The situation on the right flank, the hills around the Le Cateau valley, was perilous from the start, as the Germans infiltrated during the night. The west, held by 4th Division, was absolutely vulnerable to flanking movements designed to encircle II Corps. Hunter-Weston’s 11th Brigade spent most of the 26 August desperately holding the position in front of Ligny while coming under heavy artillery and machine-gun fire. A feature of the fighting being the greater respect shown by the Germans for British rifle prowess than at Mons where they had suffered heavy casualties. New positions were established at the eastern end of Ligny in the afternoon and a first-aid post was set up at Haucourt Church where the wounded were taken. The 1st Somersets held the village of Ligny until about 4pm when they came under renewed heavy shell fire and were attacked by several enemy battalions. Although accurate rapid rifle fire, machine gun fire and artillery stopped this attack occasioning large numbers of German casualties, the 11th Brigade began to evacuate Ligny shortly afterwards and retired towards Maincourt with little further incident. The Somerset Light Infantry had suffered heavy casualties during the battle however: approximately 9 officers wounded, 19 other ranks killed, 150 wounded and 100 missing. Private Hawkins was amongst those reported missing in action. Having been captured by the Germans at Ligny on 26 August 1914 he was transported to Senne prisoner of war camp where he remained for most of the war. He was discharged on 1 May 1919 and died at Paignton, Devon in 1965. Sold with a copied portrait photograph of Hawkins in uniform taken at Senne prisoner of war camp on 3 January 1918.

Three: Corporal H. H. Shuttle, 1st Battalion, Bedfordshire Regiment, who was killed in action at the Battle of Le Cateau on 26 August 1914 1914 Star, with clasp (9734 Cpl. H. H. Shuttle. 1/Bedf: R.); British War and Victory Medals (9734 Cpl. H. H. Shuttle. Bedf. R.); Memorial Plaque (Harold Henry Shuttle); Memorial Scroll, ‘Cpl. Harold Henry Shuttle, Bedfordshire Regiment’; together with a Bedfordshire Regiment cap badge, nearly extremely fine (5) £260-£300 --- Harold Henry Shuttle was born on 18 December 1894 at Chigwell, Essex and attested for the Bedfordshire Regiment in 1911. He served with the 1st Battalion during the Great War as part of the 15th Brigade, 5th Division, on the Western Front from 15 August 1914. “A” and “B” Companies engaged the enemy at Wasmes on 23 August 1914, coming under fire from enemy field guns, their shallow trenches offering little protection. The Battalion then reunited at Paturages on 24 August and beat off the advancing enemy whilst inflicting heavy casualties. Withdrawing to Bavai and then Le Cateau on 26 August, they then took up a position near Troisville facing Le Cateau-Cambrai road, the 5th Division holding the right of the line from a point halfway between Le Cateau and Reumont, to Troisville, with the 15th Brigade covering the left half of the line, just east of Troisville. As they waited for the inevitable onslaught, the men tried to deepen their trenches: ‘The mist started clearing mid morning and the first German guns opened up on the British positions. Although it started slowly, the bombardment gradually picked up pace and determination until the sheer scale of it almost overwhelmed the thin British lines. The weight of the German attack fell on the right and centre of the 5th Division’s lines, to the right of the Bedfordshires, which was II Corps most vulnerable flank with the least support. As the afternoon wore on, rifle and machine gun fire increased in intensity, especially on the right flank, and column after column of German infantry assaulted the British positions. In a replay of events at Mons, intense and accurate British rifle fire and field guns firing over open sights from positions alongside the infantry held the Germans back. During the assault, the Bedfords themselves were spared the attentions of the German Infantry and contented themselves with providing supporting fire to the units on their right when the opportunity arose... By 4pm the bulk of the 5th Division was already retiring and orders reached the Bedfordshires to ‘retire by bounds’ if possible. They were to make their rearguard action deliberately slow and ensure the advancing enemy paid dearly, thereby allowing the main body to get away as unmolested as possible. To their right the King’s Own Scottish Borderers retired and A, B and C Companies followed suit in small groups. D Company on the extreme left was pinned down by intense machine-gun fire but got away eventually, Captain William Wagstaff from D Company being wounded in the thigh during the withdrawal.’ (1st Bedfordshires Part 1: Mons to the Somme by Steven Fuller refers) The War Diary records casualties as being mercifully light - around 30 killed or wounded, Private Shuttle being among those killed. He was the son of Frederick and Emma Matilda Shuttle, of 5, Smeaton Road, Woodford Bridge, Essex and, having no known grave, is commemorated on the La Ferte-sous-Jouarre Memorial, France.

Family group: Three: Acting Sergeant A. E. Luckett, 1st Battalion, Lancashire Fusiliers, who served in Gallipoli and was subsequently killed in action on the first day of the Battle of the Somme on 1 July 1916 1914-15 Star (1912 Pte. A. E. Luckett. Lan. Fus.); British War and Victory Medals (1912 A. Sjt. A. E. Luckett. Lan. Fus.) nearly extremely fine Three: Private P. H. Luckett, 1st Battalion, Lancashire Fusiliers, who was killed in action during the Third Battle of Krithia, Gallipoli, on 4 June 1915 1914-15 Star (2071 Pte. P. H. Luckett. Lan. Fus.); British War and Victory Medals (2071 Pte. P. H. Luckett. Lan. Fus.) nearly extremely fine (6) £400-£500 --- Arther Edward Luckett was born in 1891 at Camberwell, Middlesex, the son of William and Sarah Luckett of 11 Bedford Road, East Ham, Essex. He attested for the Lancashire Fusiliers in 1909 and served with the 1st Battalion on Gallipoli from 25 April 1915 where they were engaged in actions at the Battles for Krithia and the Achi Baba heights. The battalion suffered casualties of 33 officers and 584 other ranks during the campaign before it was finally withdrawn to Egypt in January 1916. Embarked for France in March 1916, the battalion remained with the 86th Brigade, 29th Division on the Somme. Acting Sergeant Luckett was killed in action serving with F Company during the battalion’s attack on the heavily fortified village of Beaumont-Hamel on 1 July 1916, the first day of the Battle of the Somme. On 29 June the Divisional Commander Major General H. de .B. de Lisle had addressed the main body of the battalion and said, ‘to you has been set the most difficult task - that of breaking the hardest part of the enemies shell’. The battalion formed up at a sunken road part way towards their objective and began their assault following a huge artillery barrage and a massive mine being detonated at the Hawthorn redoubt. The setting off of the mine unfortunately alerted the Germans to the men formed up in the sunken road and subjected them to a tremendous cross fire from the front and both sides as they attacked. On 1 July 1916, the 1st Lancashire Fusiliers suffered casualties of 7 officers killed and 14 wounded, 156 Other ranks killed and 298 wounded with 11 missing presumed dead. 4 Military Crosses and 8 Military Medals were won by the battalion that day. Having no known grave, Acting Sergeant A. E. Luckett is commemorated on the Thiepval Memorial, France. Percy Harold Luckett, younger brother of the above, was born in 1893 and attested for the Lancashire Fusiliers in 1910. He served with the 1st Battalion on Gallipoli from 25 April 1915 and was killed in action on 4 June 1915 during the Third Battle of Krithia. The activities of the battalion that day can be summarised as follows: ‘British bombardment (4th) recorded as falling short and causing high casualties. Machine gun section put out of action. “A” and “B” Companies attacked in centre on Gully Spur 12 noon - heavy casualties from rifle and machine gun fire - most men hit while climbing parapet, few got forward not more than a few yards. “D” and “B’ Companies followed and also swept by fire. Major-General J. C. Latter, C.B.E., M.C. in his 1914-1918 history of the Lancashire Fusiliers records how Captain H. R. Clayton was killed while leading “D” Company, his body being found in the Turkish wire 2 months later. Relieved and to Pink House in reserve (6th). Casualties - 14 officers, 500 other ranks.’ (British Regiments at Gallipoli by Ray Westlake refers) Private P. H. Luckett is buried in Twelve Tree Copse Cemetery, Gallipoli, Turkey.

Three: Private J. Murphy, 2nd Battalion, Lancashire Fusiliers, who died of wounds near Ste. Marguerite, on the Aisne, on 17 September 1914 1914 Star, with clasp (217 Pte. J. Murphy. 2/Lan: Fus.) in named card box of issue with transmission letter; British War and Victory Medals (217 Pte. J. Murphy. Lan. Fus.) in named card boxes of issue with transmission letters; Memorial Plaque (John Murphy) extremely fine (4) £240-£280 --- John Murphy was born in 1885 and attested for the Lancashire Fusiliers in 1904. He served with the 2nd Battalion during the Great War on the Western Front from 26 August 1914, and died of wounds at a Field Ambulance near Ste. Marguerite on 17 September 1914. Four days earlier his battalion had crossed the Aisne under heavy shell-fire at Venizel from where they advanced via Bucy-de-Long and through Ste. Marguerite to a wood just east of the village. From here they held positions under rifle and machine-gun fire from enemy trenches in front of Chivres and the western slopes of the Chivres Spur until relieved that night by the 2nd Manchesters.
