Queen’s South Africa 1899-1902, 5 clasps, Cape Colony, Orange Free State, Transvaal, Diamond Hill, Belfast (72 Pte. G. Kingston, Victoria M.R.) clasps loose as issued, dark toned, nearly extremely fine £350-400 Private George Kingstone served with the first contingent Victoria Mounted Infantry Company which, together with contingents from South Australia, Western Australia and Tasmania, were amalgamated into the First Australian Regiment at Cape Town on 26 November 1899. This unit served until April 1900, when it was broken up and the 1st Victorians were placed under Colonel Price, who had the 2nd Victorians, and they formed part of the 4th Mounted Infantry Corps. Private Kingston was taken prisoner during the operations on 29 May, 1900, when the Victorians were engaged at the Black Reef Mine, Witwatersrand, where they were met with a heavy rifle fire, and subsequently shell fire when endeavouring to turn the enemy’s flank. During the day a company was detached, under Lieutenant Kirby to assist a mixed party of Lumsden’s Horse and Imperial Mounted Infantry, who were hard-pressed at the railway station, close to Germiston Junction. Lieutenant Kirby pushed in, and, after a fairly sharp struggle, captured several engines, a considerable amount of rolling stock, and an ambulance train that was going out. For this he received the D.S.O. Private Kingston was re-captured on 6 June at the occupation of Pretoria, when the Victorians, owing to the formation of the march, were the first to enter.
British War Medal 1914-20 (Capt. R. C. Dyer) edge bruising, contact marks, nearly very fine £80-100 Royce Coleman Dyer was born in Sutton, Quebec, on 1 February 1889. A Butcher by occupation, he attested for the Canadian Overseas Expeditionary Force on 21 September 1914. He was posted to the 8th Battalion Canadian Infantry (Manitoba Regiment). Serving in France/Flanders, he served in the 2nd Battle of Ypres and was slightly wounded by gas. For his bravery under fire during the fighting around Couurcelette in 1916, he was awarded the Military Medal and Bar. Dyer was made Sergeant when he joined the allied force going to Russia in June 1918. For his bravery in action he was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal (London Gazette 14 January 1919). His citation reads- ‘For conspicuous gallantry and resource during the landing at Onega and clearing of the town. He set a very fine example to his men throughout the action, and, from a very exposed position, successfully engaged an enemy machine-gun at close range with his Lewis gun. He showed marked courage in taking up new positions with his gun under heavy machine-gun and cross rifle fire, and by his skilful use of it rendered very valuable service’. Soon after he was commissioned and placed in command of a battalion raised from Russian Bolshevik prisoners - the ‘Dyer Battalion’ of the Slavo-British Legion. He was later awarded the Russian Order of St. George 4th Class. Captain Dyer died of Disease on 30 December 1918 and was buried in the Archangel Allied Cemetery.

C. John Edward Pedley was born at Rangoon, Burma in December 1891, the son of Surgeon Lieutenant-Colonel T. F. Pedley, of the Rangoon Port Defence Volunteers. He was educated at Repton and Trinity College, Oxford, and was commissioned into the King’s Royal Rifle Corps In December 1914, from the ranks of King Edward’s Horse which he had joined in November 1911. He first went to France on 25 July 1915, where he served in the 12th Battalion, attached to the 6th Battalion, and won his M.C. in 1916. He was subsequently wounded in the right leg on 25 April 1917 - ‘several small fragments of shell in the right calf and below the knee joint’ - and was transferred to the Indian Army Reserve of Officers at the end of the year. He was subsequently employed in the Third Afghan War as a Captain in the 57th (Wilde’s) Rifles, I.A. In 1920 Pedley joined the Indian Civil Service and a long and distinguished career ensued, one of his final appointments being as a Member of the Board of Revenue in the United Provinces shortly after the 1939-45 War. Among other appointments in the interim, Pedley was placed in charge of the Gorakhpur district in the late 1930s, an unenvious position that resulted in the award of his C.I.E. in 1939. An accompanying newspaper cutting quotes the following citation, as read out at the time of his investiture: ‘You joined the service in 1920 after four years’ service in the British and Indian Armies, during which you were awarded the Military Cross. From 1924 to 1928 you were Registrar of the Allahabad High Court. Thereafter you served as a District Officer and have been in charge of the large districts of Lucknow, Meerut and Bareilly. Since September 1937, you have been Collector of the very large and important district of Gorakhpur with over three million inhabitants, which was then in an unsatisfactory state owing to agrarian unrest and political agitation. You have fully justified your selection for this difficult charge. You handled the general situation, including at one stage a troublesome communal problem in Gorakhpur city, with great success; and by sound and cool-headed judgement combined with firmness and urbanity you restored confidence in the district administration among all classes of the population and effected a great improvement in the general agrarian situation. You have done most valuable work in Gorakhpur, and it is with great pleasure that I now deliver you the insignia of the Companionship of the Most Eminent Order of the Indian Empire.’ Pedley was awarded his C.S.I. in 1946 and retired to the Isle of Man, where he died in April 1972. Sold with a quantity of original documentation, including original warrants for the C.S.I. and C.I.E., edges slightly cut and damaged, together with related investiture pamphlets and congratulatory letters for the latter award from the Governor of the United Provinces, and his wife, both dated June 1939; and commission document for Lieutenant, Indian Army Reserve of Officers, dated 21 February 1919.
A fine Second World War B.E.F. 1940 D.C.M. group of five awarded to Lieutenant W. Harrison, Pioneer Corps, late Bedfordshire & Hertfordshire Regiment Distinguished Conduct Medal, G.VI.R. (5945343 W.O. Cl. 2 W. Harrison, Bedfs. & Herts.); General Service 1918-62, 1 clasp, Palestine (5945343 Sjt. W. Harrison, Bedfs. & Herts.); 1939-45 Star; Defence and War Medals 1939-45, minor official correction to unit on the first, generally good very fine (5) £2500-3000 D.C.M. London Gazette 22 October 1940. The original recommendation states: ‘The enemy were shelling ‘B’ Company’s forward position at Avelghem when P.S.M. Warren was reported as seriously injured and unable to move in front. C.S.M. Harrison immediately called for a volunteer and with Private Peakes went out, still under shell and rifle fire, and with no regard to his own safety brought back the wounded Warrant Officer. During the withdrawal through La Panne his Company Commander was seriously wounded. He arranged for him to be assisted to the beach and then took charge of the Company. He obtained a motor cycle and under heavy shelling found an alternative route to the beaches in order to minimise losses to the Company. He thereby managed to bring about 75 percent of the Company to the beaches where he had them under complete control. Throughout the Flanders withdrawal, C.S.M. Harrison by displaying consistent courage and leadership was a fine example to those around him.’ Of events at the time the recipient’s Company Commander was mortally wounded on the beach at La Panne, regimental sources state: ‘It was here that we learnt, with deep regret, of the death of Captain G. H. Onslow. Onslow had reached La Panne, bringing up the rear of his Company, when he was badly wounded in the face and head by a shell. He was assisted on the beach by C.S.M. Harrison and others, but it was obvious that he was badly wounded. Soon afterwards a machine-gun attack by an enemy aircraft killed him. So we lost a great comrade who had so successfully commanded Carriers, battle patrols (with which he did so well on the Saar front) and ‘B’ Company. He would have been pleased to know that his Company’s work was well appreciated and that the three D.C.Ms were awarded had all gone to Warrant Officers of ‘B’ Company.’ Following his gallant deeds in Flanders, Wilfred Harrison was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Pioneer Corps in December 1942, but was dismissed from the Service by sentence of a Field General Court Martial on 8 June 1944 (London Gazette 9 June 1944 refers). Sold with a wartime photograph of three officers, including the recipient, the reverse captioned, ‘As Officer Commanding Special Training Wing (all African), Quassasin, Middle East, promoted T./Capt. 25.8.43, myself with 2 i/c and Adjutant’, and a post card format photograph of officers, again including the recipient, taken at ‘Chindit H.Q.’ India; together with copied research from the regimental history and journal, in which Harrison is mentioned.
Sold by Order of the Recipient’s Direct Descendants Robert Mugabe: “Why are your men trying to kill me?” Lieutenant-General Peter Walls: “If they were my men you would be dead.” The highly important Malaya Emergency and Rhodesia “Bush War” group of eleven awarded to Lieutenant-General Peter Walls, G.L.M., D.C.D., M.B.E., arguably one of the greatest counter-insurgency leaders of modern times, who, having commanded ‘C’ Squadron, 22 Special Air Service Regiment in Malaya, rose to the command of the Rhodesian Army under Ian Smith during the U.D.I. and briefly of the Zimbabwe Armed Forces under Robert Mugabe on independence in 1980 - at one time he had 45,000 men under his command and his protracted defence of Rhodesia must surely rank as one of the finest military achievements of all time Zimbabwe Independence Medal 1980, in silver, officially numbered ‘0110’, with its case of issue; Rhodesian Grand Officer of the Legion of Merit (G.L.M.), neck badge and breast star, in silver, gilt and enamel, the latter fitted with four loops to reverse for wearing and in its case of issue; Rhodesian Officer of the Legion of Merit (O.L.M.), breast badge, gilt and enamel, in its case of issue; Rhodesian Defence Cross for Distinguished Service (D.C.D.)

Walls); The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, M.B.E. (Military) Member’s 2nd type breast badge; War Medal 1939-45; General Service 1918-62, 1 clasp, Malaya, G.VI.R. (Major C. P. Walls, S. Rhod. Mil. F.), note first initial; Coronation 1953, mounted as worn where applicable, together with a set of uniform tunic ribands, minor official correction to unit on the G.S.M., otherwise generally good very fine (11) £30000-40000 M.B.E. London Gazette 1 May 1953. The original recommendation states: ‘Major Walls has commanded the Rhodesian Squadron in the 22 S.A.S. since its arrival in Malaya in 1951. Although he is young and has no previous experience of commanding a unit of this size, his work had been quite outstanding; the Squadron has been absorbed into a British Army unit most successfully. The success of the scheme initiated by the Southern Rhodesian Government, whereby Southern Rhodesians were made available to fight against the communists in the Far East, is, in the case of the present Squadron, due to a great extent to the untiring efforts of Major Walls. He has set a very high standard of conduct, determination and courage throughout his tour with the Regiment, and his qualities of leadership are such that the Squadron has developed into a first rate fighting unit.’ George Peter Walls was born in Southern Rhodesia in July 1926, the son of one of the colony’s pioneer pilots, George Walls, who had served in the Royal Naval Air Service in the Great War. Educated at Plumtree School, Peter, as he was known, entered Sandhurst towards the end of the 1939-45 War, and was commissioned in the Black Watch, but, on learning that he was to be transferred to another regiment, chose to resign and ‘return to my beloved Rhodesia rather than serve in any regiment other than the Black Watch.’ With the S.A.S. in Malaya 1951-53 Commissioned into the Northern Rhodesia Regiment on his return, he was just 24 years of age when in early 1951 he was given command the Southern Rhodesia Far East Volunteer Unit (S.R.F.E.V.U.), afterwards designated ‘C’ Squadron, Malayan Scouts (S.A.S.), an unusual appointment for one so young, as recalled by Trooper Geoff Turner-Dauncey in S.A.S. Rhodesia, by Jonathan Pittaway and Craig Fourie: ‘S.R.F.E.V.U. was placed under the command of Lieutenant Peter Walls, a young Staff Corps officer who had served in the British Army with the Black Watch. He was appointed Temporary Captain to signify his position as the senior officer in the unit. As a Squadron Commander’s rank is that of Major, he was then appointed Acting Major. The intention was that on arrival in Malaya, a British Major would be appointed Squadron Commander of ‘C’ Squadron, and Major Walls would revert to the rank of Temporary Captain. This never happened, so the young Lieutenant, Temporary Captain, Acting Major Walls still in his twenties had the responsibility of being an operational commander for the complete duration of his Far East tour. I have no doubt that this experience stood him in good stead during the years that followed and in due course enabled him to become the supreme commander of the Rhodesian Forces.’ ‘C’ (Rhodesia) Squadron, Malayan Scouts (S.A.S.), arrived in the Far East in March 1951, where it was once more re-designated, this time as ‘C’ (Rhodesia) Squadron, 22 S.A.S. Regiment, and Walls quickly set to work in training his men in readiness for the jungle warfare ahead, himself being an early member of the team which carried out experimental “tree-jumping” as a means of entry into the deep jungle terrain. Mick Coetzee, another contributor to S.A.S. Rhodesia, takes up the story: ‘The answer was to drop directly into the jungle and since clearings were almost non-existent, dropping into trees was the only way. A member of ‘C’ Squadron was tasked with studying tree-jumping. The first experiment was conducted in a rubber plantation. Another experiment was to drop from a helicopter and this was actually tried over water. The difficulty was that there was no slipstream to assist in the development of the chute. Using helicopters was also expensive. The biggest helicopter in service was the S55 which had a ten-man capacity. Getting down to the ground from the tree was a problem. A hand-over-hand descent using knotted rope was successful but the physical effort required left the soldier almost exhausted on the reaching the ground. The hobby of the Regiment’s Medical Officer at the time was climbing in the Swiss Alps and he came up with the idea of the abseiling technique for making the tree-to-ground descent. For training purposes a scaffold was erected in camp and individuals were taught the technique. An experiment with the technique in the jungle proved successful. Unfortunately Peter Walls was wounded in the lower jaw at the moment the helicopter touched down on the helipad. It was speculated that the pieces of metal extracted from his jaw and lower face had come from the helicopter rotor which broke on touchdown.’ By January 1952, Walls - recovered from his injuries - was ready to take ‘C’ Squadron into action from a new base at Sungei Besi camp in Kuala Lumpur. In fact, the Rhodesians mounted no less than four operations in the months ahead, namely “Helsby” in Perak, “League” in Pahang, “Copley” in Kelantan and “Hive” in Negri Sembilan. In Rhodesia S.A.S., Trooper Geoff Turner-Dauncey describes the type of conditions the Squadron faced on such operations: ‘From the moment we stepped into the jungle until we returned to base we got soaked, and stayed wet, from the humidity, crossing rivers and swamps, and the soaking vegetation caused by monsoon rains. In that humidity, one has to learn to cope with impetigo skin diseases including ringworm, leeches and other ailments. Insect and leech bites began to fester, and ringworm, many forms of eczema, and athlete’s foot resulted in widespread ulceration of the skin. Ointments only aggravated rotting fleah, so where possible penicillin wound powder was applied to open sores. With our operational dress torn and rotting, and stinking of sweat, rifle oil and decaying vegetation, it was common practice to burn our clothes on returning to base. For a while troops returning to base from operations looked rather like clowns: wearing just P.T. shorts, sandal

He was promoted to the rank of Acting Captain from May 1918 and was employed with the Nigeria Regiment, West African Frontier Force from April 1919 to April 1925.

O’Neill, OBE: ‘At Guillemont on 21 August 1916 the 1st Battalion had on this occasion two companies, A and D engaged with the 3rd Rifle Brigade on the left and the 8th Queen’s on the right. The Fusiliers advanced at 3:30pm. ‘Hill Street’ and ‘Brompton Road’ were the objectives. The 1st Battalion got away with great dash, and after a strenuous fight drove the enemy out of the trench in front of Hill Street; but the flanking battalions were both held up, and, although the Fusiliers pushed well ahead, it was necessary to withdraw to the trench already mentioned... The headquarters bombers did good service, and Sergeant Pye though wounded, volunteered to take a message to his company commander. He was wounded again as he returned.’

Four: Major A. K. Robb, 2nd Battalion, Durham Light Infantry, who was recommended for the award of a D.S.O. for gallantry on the North West Frontier of India in 1898, subsequently being killed in action during the Battle of the Aisne on 20 September 1914 - though severely wounded in a bayonet charge he continued to lead his men, falling at last within forty yards of the enemy’s trenches India General Service 1895-1902, 2 clasps, Punjab Frontier 1897-98, Tirah 1897-98 (Lieut., 2nd Bn. Durham Lt. Infy.); 1914 Star, with clasp (Major, Durh. L.I.); British War and Victory Medals (Major) nearly extremely fine (4) £800-1000 The following is extracted from The Bond of Sacrifice, Volume II: ‘Major Alexander Kirkland Robb was born at Poona, India on the 26th August 1872. He was educated at Aberdeen Grammar School, and afterwards at Aberdeen University, proceeding to the R.M.C. Sandhurst. On leaving the college he passed out first with honours, and was awarded the Anson Memorial Sword. Major Robb was gazetted to the 2nd Durham Light Infantry as 2nd Lieutenant on the 20th May 1893, becoming Lieutenant on the 21st May 1896, Captain 19th February 1900, and Major 23rd August 1913. He was on active service, attached to the Yorkshire Light Infantry, in the Tirah campaign of the north western frontier in 1897 and 1898. Here he greatly distinguished himself, volunteering with only one non-commissioned officer and one private to keep the enemy off a peak on the flank, which had it been captured, would have exposed the British force to a heavy flanking fire. Major Robb fought with his revolver only, using up all his cartridges. To the surprise of all, he and his comrades returned safely when the order to retire was given. For his gallantry Major Robb was twice mentioned in despatches and received the Tirah Medal with two clasps. Colonel Seppings, Commanding the Yorkshire Light Infantry, wrote to Major Robb’s own Commanding Officer a most appreciative report of his conduct in this campaign; and Major Robb’s Commanding Officer, writing to the Brigadier-General said: “The Yorkshire Light Infantry are speaking in the highest terms of young Robb at the fight in the Shin Kamar.” Later Major Robb was attached to the Burma Intelligence Branch in connection with the Chinese Boundary Commission for reconnaissance duty during the cold season of 1899-1900. He was Adjutant of the Rangoon Volunteer Rifle Corps 1902-07. Returning to England, he served at the depot of his regiment, Newcastle-on-Tyne from 1910-12. In September 1912 he was appointed Adjutant of the Durham University Officers’ Training Corps and Lecturer in Military Education. The University recognised his services by granting him the honorary degree of M.A. in June 1913. On mobilisation for the Great War he was called to his regiment in August 1914, and early in September proceeded to the front with his battalion. At the Battle of the Aisne, in his battalion’s first engagement on the 20th September 1914, having reached the trenches the night before, Major Robb was severely wounded, but continued to lead his men, falling at last within forty yards of the enemy’s trenches. He was carried to the rear, and died of his wounds the same night.’ Major Robb was originally recommended for the award of a D.S.O. for his gallantry on the North West Frontier in 1898 and of his services in this campaign, The Durham Light Infantry, by the Hon W. L. Vane states: ‘Lieutenant Robb and Second Lieutenant Gibson were attached to the 2nd Battalion, Yorkshire Light Infantry; this battalion formed part of the reserve brigade at Rawal Pindi, but later was moved to Mamanai in the Bara Valley; on the 29th January 1898 it formed part of a column under Colonel Sepping, which when operating with other columns from Jamrud and Ali Musjid, was heavily engaged and suffered serious loss. Lieutenant Robb behaved with great gallantry in this action and was recommended for the D.S.O.; the recommendation was, however, not entertained.’ Of his death The Aberdeen University Roll of Honour states: ‘Though severely wounded in a bayonet charge, he continued to lead his men up to about thirty yards from the enemy trenches. The story of how he was brought in by a Private of his battalion does honour to his rescuer; and scarcely less to him, showing as it does the devotion which he inspired. Major Robb died in a hospital at Troyon the same night. He was an officer whom his regiment had cause to love and honour, a brave leader and a courteous and considerate friend.’ Major Alexander Kirkland Robb is buried in Vendresse British Cemetery, France.
Three: Lieutenant W. F. R. Dobie, 1st Battalion, Gordon Highlanders, who was killed in action on 14 December 1914 and posthumously mentioned in despatches 1914 Star, with clasp (Lieut., Gord. Highrs.); British War and Victory Medals, with M.I.D. oak leaf (Lieut.) nearly extremely fine (3) £500-600 M.I.D. London Gazette 22 June 1915. William Findlay Robertson Dobie was born in 1887 and was educated at George Watson’s College. He was killed in action in France and Flanders on 14 December 1914 and is buried in Irish House Cemetery, Kemmel, Belgium. The following in relation to the action in which Dobie was killed is extracted from The Life of a Regiment, The Gordon Highlanders in The First World War 1914-1919, by Cyril Falls: ‘The 8th Brigade attacked with the 1st Gordon Highlanders on the right against Maedelstede Farm, on the Kemmel-Wytschaete Road. The artillery of three divisions took part in the preliminary bombardment, but, for lack of ammunition, it lasted only three-quarters of an hour. The advance begun at 7:45am, was at once met by heavy rifle and machine-gun fire. Some men of one of the leading companies of the 1st Gordons were seen to jump into a trench 300 yards from the British line. Then followed an eclipse of vision common in the operations of that war. No one returned with news; no one could get forward to obtain any. It wasn’t until 3:55pm that the report came through that a line of men was lying fifty yards short of the German trench.’ The losses of the 1st Gordon Highlanders in this action were heavy with three officers, including Lieutenant Dobie missing believed killed, four officers wounded, 51 other ranks killed, 123 wounded and 69 missing.
Five: Corporal William Donovan, 1st Battalion, Rifle Brigade, later Royal Tank Corps 1914 Star, with clasp (4801 Pte., 1/Rif. Brig.); British War and Victory Medals (4801 Pte., Rif.

Captain (formerly Colour Sergeant) E. A. Pauly, 2nd Battalion, Rifle Brigade, who was wounded, losing the sight of both eyes at the the Battle of Festubert on the night of 15/16 May 1915, whilst serving with the 1st Battalion, King’s Royal Rifle Corps - In the following year King George V personally intervened to insure that he was able retain the rank of Captain: ‘This is a case worthy of every possible consideration and of exceptional treatment. The man has lost almost everything but life and if any little thing can be done to make the terrible affliction which he has to bear lighter, and to cheer his future days it ought to be carried out.” Queen’s Sudan 1896-98 (4491 A. Cpl., 2/R. Bde.); Queen’s South Africa 1899-1902, 3 clasps, Defence of Ladysmith, Laing’s Nek, Belfast (4491 Sgt., Rifle Brigade); King’s South Africa 1901-02, 2 clasps (4491 Serjt., Rifle Brigade) surname spelt ‘Pauley’ on Q.S.A. and K.S.A.; 1914 Star, with clasp (4491 C. Sjt., 2/Rif. Brig.); British War and Victory Medals (Capt.); Army L.S. & G.C., G.V.R. (4491 C. Sjt., Rif. Bde.); Khedive’s Sudan 1898-1910, no clasp, unnamed as issued, very fine and better (8) £500-600 The proceedings of the Medical Board found that Captain Pauly was ‘completely blinded by the explosion of a shell near him’ at Festubert on 15 May 1915. An extraordinary series of letters contained in his correspondence file at the National Archives shows how the C.O. of the Rifle Brigade made a plea that Pauly be allowed to retain permanently the rank of Captain even though he had held it only as a Temporary rank for less than the required three months. This request initially met strong opposition, however, on being informed of Captain Pauly’s plight the King intervened on his behalf with the following letter, dated 17 August 1916, with which there could be no argument: ‘The King has heard that Captain E. A. Pauly, late King’s Royal Rifles was commanding his company on the night of the 15th May 1915 in the attack upon the enemy’s position at Festubert, and whose wounds received on that occasion resulted in permanent blindness, has been informed that he must revert to the rank of 2nd Lieutenant because he had not held that of Temporary Captain for three months before the above incident took place. His Majesty feels that this is a case worthy of every possible consideration and of exceptional treatment. The man has lost almost everything but life, and if any little thing can be done to make the terrible affliction which he has to bear lighter, and to cheer his future days it ought to be carried out. The King understands that this slight concession will involve no expense to the country, and therefore he asks that Pauly may be allowed to retain the rank of Captain, which position he was considered worthy to hold and to exercise in leading his company into battle.’ The following obituary notice is extracted from The Rifle Brigade Chronicle 1944: ‘Captain Ernest Arthur Pauly was born 21 December 1875, at Horsham, Sussex. He enlisted as a H.Q. recruit into the 2nd Battalion at Aldershot in 1895, and it was with that battalion that he served throughout while with the regiment. He soon proved himself a useful footballer and played in the battalion team in 1896 and 1897. He was present with the battalion at Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee procession in London, and afterwards embarked for Malta. From there he went to Egypt and took part in the Nile Expedition of 1898, being present at the Battle of Omdurman. From Egypt he went to Crete and served there during the disturbances of 1899. In October of that year he embarked for South Africa and took part in the defence of Ladysmith. He lasted out this siege without sustaining wounds or sickness and on the conclusion of hostilities went to Cairo, having then the rank of Sergeant. Three years later he went to India. He was promoted Colour Sergeant in 1910 and posted to ‘H’ Company. In 1914 he left India for France with the battalion and early in November 1914 was selected for a commission and gazetted to the 60th Rifles. At the Battle of Festubert [15/16 May 1915] he was wounded, losing the sight of both eyes. He died of pneumonia on 15 April 1944, having been totally blind for 29 years. He was indeed a loveable character and his cheerfulness, ability and independence in spite of his terrible affliction made him a grand example of patience and courage to all who had the good fortune to know him. He maintained the greatest interest in his old regiment to the last. He was buried with Military Honours at Wallington.’

He served at Ostend with the Royal Marine Brigade from 26 August 1914. Sold with copy service papers which state: ‘10 Sept 1914 to 17 Oct. 1914, served with armed motor cars under Commander Samson; 12 June 1915, granted certificate for wounds in action on the Gallipoli peninsula by a rifle bullet.’ The following in relation to the early service of the Armoured Car Section is extracted from the book, The Royal Marine Artillery 1804-1923, Volume II, by L. G. Carr-Laughton: ‘The first Royal Marines landed in France on 10 September [1914], two hundred R.M.A. and R.M.L.I., fifty from each Division, were sent to Dunkirk for service with the motorcars, some of them armoured, which were attached to the R.N.A.S. under Commander Samson. The cars armed with machine guns and manned partly by Marines, partly by Air Service ratings, operated at first from Dunkirk, being attached to the aerodrome at St Pol, and afterwards were based on Morbecque. From the indefinite nature of their duties they acquired the name of the “Motor Bandits”. The original intention seems to have been that they should be employed for the defence of the St Pol air base, and against the German air bases nearest to England. The Battle of the Aisne, however, began on September 14th and during its continuance till September 28th, they patrolled wide areas, including, Amiens, Albert, Arras, and Courtai, acting in small columns of from three to ten cars, getting in touch with the German cavalry patrols, with which they had several small engagements.’
