The Royal Geographical Society’s Victoria Medal awarded to Colonel Sidney Gerald Burrard, K.C.S.I., Royal Engineers, Surveyor of India, for his work on the Topography of the Himalayas (including Everest) in 1913 and who was considered ‘the eminent, member of the Community of Surveyors of the Empire’, together with his Baronet’s Badge, comprising: (i) Royal Geographical Society, Victoria Medal, in gold, by W. Wyon, young head of Queen Victoria, rev. the draped figure of Athena standing holding a wreath and map, at her feet a globe and sextant (Colonel S.G. Burrard, C.S.I., R.E., F.R.S. 1913), 55.5mm, 131g all in, glazed with gold rim, in original fitted Wyon case of issue (Eimer 1229); (ii) Baronet’s Badge, United Kingdom type, in silver-gilt and enamels (Burrard of Walhampton 3 April 1769), hallmarked London, 1935, in original Royal Mint case of issue, two tiny marks to glass near edge of the first, extremely fine (2) NOTE: C.S.I.: London Gazette, 12 December 1911: ‘Coronation Honours’; K.S.C.I.: London Gazette, 22 June 1914: ‘Royal Engineers, Surveyor-General in India’; 1913: S. G. Burrard Indian Survey - ‘For his distinguished contributions to geography and geodesy.’ Colonel Sidney Gerald Burrard (1860-1943) was born at Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight, and was the eldest son of Lieutenant Colonel Sidney Burrard of the Grenadier Guards. After being educated at Uppingham and at Wellington College he was sent to Woolwich to join the Royal Engineers. He was a talented Cadet, particularly in Mathematics, receiving his first commission in April 1879. He sailed for India in 1882, and spent two years at Roorkee at the Head Quarters of the Bengal Sappers and Miners, before joining the Survey of India in September 1884. In this role he performed important work in accurately calculating and revising longitudes in India, and establishing tidal observatories at either end of the Suez canal, but it was in his work as Superintendent of the Trigonometrical Survey in Calcutta from 1899 onwards that he performed much of his greatest work. Written in collaboration with Sir Henry Hayden, Director of the Geological Survey of India, he wrote the book ‘A Sketch of the Geography and Geology of the Himalayan Mountains and Tibet.’ This work published a mine of hitherto unknown information regarding the Himalayas, including names, heights of peaks, classification into ranges, rivers, glaciers, lakes etc. In 1911, Burrard was made Surveyor-General of India in 1911, and was made C.S.I. at the Durbar in Delhi. In 1907 he had become a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and in 1913 he was awarded the Victoria Medal. The President of the Society, Lord Curzon, commented at the presentation: “There is not a scientific explorer of our time who has not consulted and in some measure been guided by Colonel Burrard, and there has not been a Surveyor-General of equal scientific attainments since the days of Everest.” He was later made K.S.C.I. in 1914, and continued an extended tenure as Surveyor-General until the end of WWI, retiring in 1919.
