SECOND LIEUTENANT JOHN HENRY STRODE BATTEN, the King's Regiment, Liverpool. A pair of Queen's and King's South Africa medals, with clasps, Cape Colony, Defence of Ladysmith, Orange Free State, Trans Vaal, South Africa, 1901 and 1902. This collection of medals, dress uniform, court sword and engraved cigar box are included with a letter written by Second Lieutenant Batten during the defence of Ladysmith, on December 1st 1899. The letter, written in pencil, reads: "My Dear Grandpa, I am writing this to you during the siege of Ladysmith, or rather, I trust, the last few days of the siege. We have been shut up here since the 2nd of Nov, and it has been a very momentous affair, as since that date we have been completely cut off from the rest of the world, so have no papers or letters. A few runners have I believed managed to get through the Boer lines with dispatches at odd times. We are now expecting daily to be relieved... I expect soon to hear of a big fight outside here and then relief. To describe the siege, it is enough to say that one day is exactly the same as another. We get up at three thirty am, parade at four am, stand about ready to march off to assist attack til daylight has fairly dawned. The rest of the day we build and repair our fortifications... and lie under shields constructed against the enemy shells. Our battalion find three companies for outpost duty when we remain shut up in trenches for five days until relieved. Am on outpost duty now. Sometimes we often have to work at night as it is pretty safe from shelling. Then lately we have been chiefly suffering from having nothing to do all day, as the walls are all built so we lie in the trenches and chase away the flies which are a regular plague here. I am glad to say I am fit and well. Was under fire for the first time at the battle of Intintaymi. Felt a bit shaky at first but soon got used to it. Boers have been shelling the camp daily (except Sundays). Since the beginning of the siege we have lost one Sergeant and nine men. It is surprising how little damage their shells have done considering the number of shells that have been dropped. Grub and drink are getting scarce. Find the heat terrific and it is not mid-summer yet. Will write again better, but thought you would like to hear a word so please excuse the scrawl. With best love to Uncle Henry and Yourself, Your Affectionate Grandson, J. H. Strode Batten." The fascinating and historical letter is contained in the original envelope with Yeovil postmark. The uniform and hat contained in original tin trunks. This fascinating collection of important military history has been well preserved for generations.
A large Royal Dux figure, lady between two shells, decorated in typical Dux colours and with pink triangle mark to base. Height 17 ins (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: This figure is in generally good order. There is no damage to the figure itself. There is some rubbing to the gilding. The only minor issue is a small professional restoration to the rear right hand side of the right hand shell . There is some overpainting to what is probably a top edge chip or minor loss. This is visible on close inspection but in our opinion not a significant issue. The centre letter is “E”.
