The Highly Important Great War and Fall of Hong Kong P.O.W. Group of 11 to Sir Mark Aitchison Young G.C.M.G., the 21st Governor and Commander-in-Chief of Hong Kong. Governor Young was finally advised by Major-General Christopher Maltby to sign Hong Kong’s surrender and capitulation, going in person to surrender at the Peninsula Hotel on 25 December 1941, a day known locally as ‘Black Christmas’. Young shared in the privations and abuse of his fellow P.O.W.s despite his high position, and returned to Hong Kong after the Japanese surrender to great fanfare. Soon after he made vigorous but ultimately unsuccessful attempts to reform and democratize politics in Hong Kong, devising the ‘Young Plan’ in 1946, comprising: The Most Distinguished Order of St Michael and St. George, Knight Grand Cross 1st Class Set of Insignia, comprising sash badge in silver-gilt and enamels, and breast star in silver, gilt and enamels, in original fitted case, by Garrard & Co. Ltd.; with collar chain, in silver gilt and enamels, also in original fitted case, by Garrard & Co.

Lieut. M. A. Young. Rif. Brig.); British War and Victory Medals (Lieut. M. A. Young.); Jubilee Medal 1935; Coronation Medal, 1937; G.C.M.G. and O.S.J. sets separate, campaign group swing mounted on bar with reverse brooch pin, these with matching set of miniatures, medals lightly polished, very fine or better, orders generally extremely fine  (11).  C.M.G.: London Gazette: 03.06.1931 (Chief Secretary, Palestine); The Order of St. John, Officer: London Gazette: 24.06.1932; K.C.M.G.: London Gazette: 21.06.1940; The Order of St. John, Knight of Grace: London Gazette: 21.06.1940; G.C.M.G.: London Gazette: 01.01.1946 (Governor and Commander-in-Chief, Hong Kong).  Sir Mark Aitchison Young, G.C.M.G. (1886-1974), was born on 30 June 1886, the son of Sir William Mackworth Young and Frances Mary Egerton, daughter of Sir Robert Eyles Egerton. His father had served as Resident of Mysore and Coorg, and then as Lieutenant-Governor the Punjab between 1897 and 1902, and both families were counted amongst the most distinguished families in Colonial India. Mark Aitchison Young was educated at Eton College and King’s College, Cambridge, entering the Colonial Office as an ‘Eastern Cadet’ on 4 October 1909, and subsequently taking up a post in the Ceylon Civil Service. He continued to work at the Colonial Secretary’s Office, Colombo, until the outbreak of WWI in August 1914, when he joined the Rifle Brigade, being commissioned as a Second Lieutenant on 13 June 1915. Serving on the Western Front in France and Flanders, he rose to the rank of Captain before returning to the Civil Service once the Great War had ended. His career continued on an impressive trajectory, first returning to Ceylon as Principal Assistant Colonial Secretary between 1923 and 1928, then serving as Colonial Secretary in Sierra Leone between 1928 and 1930. Between 1930 and 1933 he was Chief Secretary to the Government of the British Mandate of Palestine (for which he was made C.M.G.), later taking up his first Governorship in Barbados between 1933 and 1938, being appointed K.C.M.G. in 1934. He also served as part of the Government of Trinidad and Tobago, before serving again as Governor and Commander in Chief of the Tanganyika Territory between 1938 and 1941. Mark Young arrived in Hong Kong on 10 September 1941, and only weeks into his new role began making detailed plans to resist the attacking Japanese forces. Beginning on 8 December, the mainland areas of the New Territories and Kowloon were captured after 5 days of fighting, with Major-General Maltby’s combined British & Indian units of the Mainland Brigade (2nd Bn. Royal Scots; 5th/7th Bn. Rajput Regiment, 2nd/14th Bn. Punjab Regiment) forced back to the more readily-defensible Hong Kong Island.  The first call to surrender was made by the Japanese commander Lieutenant-General Taikaishi Sakai on 13 December, but Young rejected it outright, calling upon Hong Kong’s defenders to “Fight On! Hold fast for King and Empire!” On 25 December the South China Morning Post had run the Governor’s Christmas message that very morning, showing still that the Governor had no intention of surrender: “In pride and admiration I send my greetings this Christmas Day to all those who are working so nobly and so well to sustain Hong Kong against the assault of the enemy. God bless you all in this, your finest hour.”  At the same time, early that day, civilians, nurses and wounded soldiers were being killed and assaulted at St. Stephen’s College Hospital. Just hours later at 3.00pm, General Maltby was driven to Government House, in the hope of convincing the Governor to surrender, on the advice of his other fellow officers – each one at breaking point, and with water and communications now cut off. Calling a meeting with Maltby, Commander A. C. Collinson R.N., and two members of the civilian Defence Council, Governor Young heeded their advice and took the final decision to call a cease-fire at 3.15pm. Fearing further reprisals and civilian casualties, and under a chronic shortage of water, he gave the colony’s surrender to General Takashi Sakai at the Peninsula Hotel later that day, to the shock of the world, and despite Churchill’s call to fight to the very last. This, the first surrender of a British Crown Colony to invasion, became known as ‘Black Christmas’ in Hong Kong, as it braced itself for what would be a brutal 3 years and 8 months of Japanese rule.  Despite his position, after two months incarceration in ‘Room 336’ of the Peninsula Hotel he spent some time in the POW camp in Stanley before being moved with other high-ranking officials (including Maltby) between further camps in Shanghai, Formosa (Taiwan), Japan, on the Mongolian border, and then to Mukden, Manchuria. Governor Young is known to have defended the rights of his fellow POWs on numerous occasions in the face of regular brutality, and shared in their privations and abusive treatment. He also once petitioned his fellow P.O.W.s to resist signing documents that they would never attempt to escape captivity.  Various eye-witness P.O.W. accounts recall that Governor Young did not avoid the brutal treatment of his captors, regardless of his high position. Despite his suffering and that of those around him, he survived to see the Japanese surrender on 15 August 1945, and later took part in a number of war crimes tribunals concerning various Japanese officers and officials. Being much weakened through prolonged captivity, Governor Young was returned to Great Britain for a period of recovery before his official return to Hong Kong on 30 April 1946, where he was greeted by ‘one of the largest crowds ever to have been assembled’ by the waterfront on the Queen’s Pier (as recorded by the China Mail, 1 May 1946). This important and symbolic return to the colony’s British administration was well-received, but marked the final bow of Sir Mark Young’s eventful career. Despite his attempts to reform local politics through the self-titled ‘Young Plan’ of September 1946, which themselves were an attempt to democratise Hong Kong and to strengthen self-government for the long-term, these plans were eventually rejected for fear of communist infiltration and subversion. Governor Young was made G.C.M.G. that year in 1946, but was not otherwise recognised with any honours for his role as Governor of Hong Kong, despite his even handedness, his resilience, and his remarkable strength of character shown under the most trying of circumstances. He retired from the Colonial Office in 1947, and later died on 12 May 1974, at the age of 87.

Princess Diana's Arabella Pollen silk ensemble, worn for an Official Royal visit to Adelaide, 5th April, 1983, labelled, 'Pollen London', in caramel, white and primrose stripes, comprising: loose jacket with self-covered buttons, horizontally striped patch pockets, pleated silk skirt and cummerbund tie sash, chest approx 97cm, 38in, waist 74cm, 29in; together with a letter of provenance (4)Provenance: The dress was given to the vendor who worked as a nanny for a well-connected family from Northamptonshire who were good friends of 'Fergie' as she was affectionately known - Sarah, Duchess of York. She was a regular visitor and on one occasion also brought with her to dinner HRH the Prince and Princess of Wales. Princess Diana and the Duchess of York each donated two dresses to the vendor's employer to sell for charity. But on Christmas morning 1987, to the vendor's delight she was given this striped silk ensemble as a surprise present as she was such a huge fan of the Princess. It has remained in her possession ever since.Princess Diana wore this ensemble on the first day the Royal tour of South Australia, worn with a straw boater and a blouse with ruff collar which had become synonymous with the 'Lady Di' style.The Royal couple were taken to the Adelaide Town Hall where they were treated to a State Reception followed by a trip to the Community Centre to watch a keep fit class amongst other pursuits, which were recorded on newsreels of the day.Princess Diana seemed smiling and self-assured, but later admitted that she found the first few days of the Australian tour traumatic. Although she disguised it well, the Princess was feeling unwell, believed she looked 'too thin' and found it difficult to cope with the sweltering temperatures. She also keenly felt the separation from young Prince William to whom Australian Prime Minister, Malcolm Fraser, had thoughtfully extended the invitation. However massive crowds and 95 degree temperatures made it unsuitable. Still at the crawling stage, Prince William was safely ensconced with his nanny at Woomargama, a 4000 acre sheep station in New South Wales which Prince Charles and Princess Diana visited as often as they could amid their hectic schedule but at least Diana knew he was under the same sky. With a population of 17 million, over a 1 million Australians turned up in person to greet the couple on their four-week tour. But everywhere they went, the crowds clamoured for the Princess and complained when Prince Charles went over to their side of the street on a walkabout, much to his obvious displeasure.However, the success of this gruelling tour marked a turning point in Diana's Royal life. Andrew Morton, in 'Diana Her True Story - In Her Own Words', p142, wrote:'She went out a girl, she returned home a woman...(the Australian trip) signalled the slow resurrection of her inner spirit'The international press complained that Diana was often dressed more like a dowager than a young Princess. US fashion critic Mr Blackwell, put the Princess at the top of his Worst Dressed List, stating she had gone from 'a very young, independent, fresh look' to a 'tacky, dowdy' style. However, the loose flowing lines of this ensemble made it cool, practical and drew attention away from her slender form. CONDITION REPORT: Waistline on the skirt has been widened, otherwise good condition.
