An Unusual Boer War 'Friendly Fire' Incident D.C.M. Pair to Private H. Morton, Seaforth Highlandersa) Distinguished Conduct Medal, E.VII.R. (5601 Pte. H. Morton. Seaforth Hdrs:), minor edge bruiseb) Queen's South Africa 1899-1902, five clasps, Cape Colony, Orange Free State, Transvaal, South Africa 1901, South Africa 1902 (5601 Pte. H. Morton. Sea: Highrs: M.I.), unofficial rivets between state and date clasps on last, good very fine, mounted for wear (2) D.C.M. London Gazette 26.7.1901 5601 Private H. Morton, Seaforth Highlanders. Morton was decorated for his gallantry during a 'Friendly Fire' incident and Mentioned in Despatches by Lord Kitchener thus, 'Private H. Morton (promoted Corporal); on June 14, a company of mounted infantry with which he was, being shelled by our own guns at 2,000 yards, took cover; Morton stayed in the open trying to signal to the guns, though the shells were all around him.'The original Recommendation for Morton's D.C.M. made by Major T. Macan, Officer Commanding 18th Mounted Infantry gives the following:I have the honour to bring to your notice the conduct of No. 5601 Pte. H. Morton 1st Bn. Seaforth Highlanders now serving with the 18th Mounted Infantry as a signaller. On the 14th June 1901 the company to which this man belongs was working in the Houtbosch Loop when shell fire was opened upon it by one of the guns belonging to a cooperating column, the company having been mistaken for the enemy; the company managed to get under cover but Private Morton remained in the open at very great personal risk endeavouring to signal to the party who were firing on the company. The distance the gun was firing from was only about 2,000 yds. and the range had been correctly estimated as the shells were bursting all round the position. I consider the conduct of Pte. Morton well worthy of recognition.'Additional remarks supplied by Colonel G.E. Benson: 'I recommend Pte. Morton's conduct for consideration. I think that it is probable he may have saved the lives of some of his comrades by this action. The column which opened fire was Col. Parkes'.'Brigadier General Spens added: 'Forwarded and reccomended that No. 5601 Pte. H. Morton 1/Seaforth Highlanders be awarded a Distinguished Service [as the D.C.M. was sometimes called at the time] Medal for gallant conduct on the 14th June 1901.'Provenance:Spink Boer War Sale, 20-21.10.1999Subject to 20% VAT on Buyer’s Premium.

Edward Medal (Industry), G.V.R., 1st type obverse, 2nd type reverse, silver (Thomas Coppard), very fine, in case of issue E.M. London Gazette 10.5.1918 Thomas Coppard, Police Sergeant, National Filling Factory No. 13, in joint citation with 3 others for the Edward Medal, and listed alongside 8 men who received the K.P.M. for the same action, 'On account of their gallant conduct on the occasion of a fire which occured at a Munitions Factory on the 1st October, 1917.'Heroic Endeavour by D.V. Henderson, G.M., offers further insight on Coppard's actions, '1 October 1917. He saved a number of lives when fire and explosions occurred at the White Lund factory, near Morecombe, Lancashire.'The Lancaster Guardian states, 'on the evening of October 1, 1917, an explosion at the National Filling Factory on White Lund was so strong its force was felt as far away as Burnley. Ten people were killed during the night the majority of whom were firemen.Most of the factory workers were in the canteen on their supper break when the alarm was raised around 10.30pm which probably saved many other lives though in the rush to escape the site, some were injured. The biggest explosion occurred around 3am.The works fire brigade was unable to contain the fire which spread quickly and there were some staff who put their own lives on the line to save further casualties. Among them was Thomas Kew who shunted 49 ammunition trucks holding 250,000 live shells out of the danger zone to prevent further explosions.Shells which had been filled at the factory began to explode with the intense heat. In Morecambe, shells were seen flying overhead into the bay while in Lancaster shop windows were blown in and shrapnel travelled as far as Scotforth and Quernmore....The factory was so wrecked by the explosion that it was out of commission for the rest of the war.The cause of the disaster was never found though some suspected spy action or a Zeppelin air raid.The National Filling Factory was one of two new factories which had been opened in the area by the Ministry of Munition by the middle of 1916. The National Projectile Factory in Caton Road was mainly turning and filling shell cases delivered from Barrow.Such was the pride in these factories and the work they were doing for the war effort that both were visited by King George and Queen Mary in May, 1917 when they were presented with a silver plated shell as a memento.The real shells were transported from Caton Road to White Lund where they were filled with explosives. This factory had taken seven months to develop, covered 400 acres and included 150 buildings.More than 8,000 people worked in these factories at their peak and three quarters of them were women.'Subject to 20% VAT on Buyer’s Premium.

It is funny how one has the feeling of wanting to duck. The nearest touch I had was a piece of shell whizzed by me & struck the man next to me on the shoulder gouging a piece out of his straps & nearly breaking his collar bone. Quite near enough for me.` In June 1900 he speculates that he would be coming home soon but as the war continued his company was posted to Heilbron and Frederickstad where they took part in actions in pursuit of De Wet.
