The magnificent group of orders and medals to Lieutenant Colonel Sir Thomas Bilbe Robinson, K.C.M.G., G.B.E., K.B., comprising: The Most Distinguished Order of St Michael and St George, Knight Commander's star and neck badge, silver-gilt and enamels; The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, Knight Grand Cross's star and badge, Britannia type; Knight Batchelor's Badge, first type, silver-gilt and enamels; British War Medal 1914-20 and Victory Medal (LT. COL. SIR. T.B. ROBINSON.); Coronation Medal 1902; Coronation Medal 1911; France: Legion d'Honneur, Officer's badge; Italy: Order of the Crown, Companion's badge; Belgium, Order of the Crown, Companion's badge; mounted in a glazed case, mainly extremely fine or better. Thomas Bilbe Robinson was a British born Australian soldier, business magnate and public servant who is principally remembered for his outstanding achievements in securing supplies of meat for British and Commonwealth armed forces and civilians during the Great War. His entry in the Australian Dictionary of Biography refers to him as "the greatest export butcher the world has ever seen", making him an unusual example of an officer to whom the epithet 'butcher' was not applied as a term of reproach. Born in Rotherhithe 25th November 1853, Thomas Bilbe Robinson emigrated to Queensland in 1881, becoming a Major in the Queensland Militia. In 1910 he was appointed Agent General for Queensland in London. Agent Generals represented Canadian and Australian state governments in London, being responsible, among other things, for promoting migration. Robinson was knighted at St James' Palace, 7th July 1910. In 1913 he was appointed Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George. Following the outbreak of war in 1914 the Board of Trade made him Director of Meat Supplies Allied Forces, in which capacity he guaranteed supplies of meat not only for soldiers at the front but for the British and Australian domestic market, of which the importance in time of war can scarcely be overstated. He is credited with securing control of the vital meatworks on the River Plate in South America, using his business acumen to foil the designs of American packers to exploit wartime shortages. On the 12th of July 1917 he received a temporary commission as Lieutenant-Colonel in the Army Service Corps (without pay or allowances), and in the following month he was appointed Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire. The Allied nations of France, Italy and Belgium recognised his services also, and he received royal authority to wear the distinctions mentioned above during the period 1917-1919. On the 5th June 1920, he was promoted in the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, to Knight Grand Cross "[for] Services to [the] Board of Trade in connection with purchase and distribution of frozen meat for Allied Forces"

You know how well deserved." The question of slavery was central to the bitter and devastating conflict that raged between the United and the Confederate States of America between 1861 and 1865. The citizens and leaders of the Union were far from united in opposition to racial prejudice, though a tradition of ethically motivated abolitionism exercised considerable influence. The Union, under President Abraham Lincoln, was reluctant at first to make the emancipation of slaves a military objective, but there was a long standing Northern tradition of sheltering fugitive slaves (often in defiance of Federal law), and Union General Benjamin Butler was the first senior figure to honour this tradition in a military context. In May 1861 three slaves escaped to his lines in Virginia. The slaveholder, a Confederate officer, approached under a flag of truce, expecting Butler to relinquish the men under the terms of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 (a major source of contention between North and South). Butler rebuffed this officer and found a pragmatic way of resolving the uncertain status of the former slaves by designating them as 'Contraband of War'. His government gave retrospective sanction to this act, and in the months before the final promulgation of the Emancipation Proclamation in January 1863, many more 'Contrabands' made it across the lines to Union held territory. As the war progressed, and the realisation that a comprehensive defeat of the Confederate forces was the only way to end it, the part-pragmatic and part-ideological practice of recruiting freed African Americans as soldiers to defeat their former masters became ever more firmly established. This in turn lead to a growing realisation of their courage and fighting abilities. The notion of a link between military service and civil rights had been articulated by former slave and abolitionist leader Frederick Douglass in 1861 when he said "Who would be free must himself strike the blow" The medal's Latin inscription, which translates as "Freedom will be theirs by the sword", confirms that - in Butler's view at least - the recipients had been fighting for the rights of African-Americans, and not merely for the interests of one white faction against another. The Battle of Chaffin's Farm and Newmarket Heights, September 29th and 30th 1864, was part of a broad strategic effort to overwhelm the extensive fortifications that protected the Confederate Capital of Richmond, Virginia. Like many battles of this war it involved infantrymen assaulting fixed defences and suffering terrible casualties to massed rifle and artillery fire. In the face of this horror the African American battalions under Butler's command acquitted themselves so valiantly that thirteen of their number won the Medal of Honour, and Butler - who read the battlefield reports with great care - was moved to commission this medal to honour an estimated 197 selected men. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint and mounted by Bigelow & Kennard of Boston, this medal is not only a rarity in absolute terms; it was in its day a radical innovation. Butler's memoirs indicate that he intended his medal to be partly based on the British Crimea Medal, although of course the Butler medal is a hybrid of campaign and gallantry award. Ref. 'Autobiography and Personal Reminiscences of Major-General Benj F. Butler: Butler's Book'; James M. McPherson, 'Battle Cry of Freedom. The Civil War Era'.
