Lot 225
A fine Great War ‘Third Battle of the Scarpe’ M.C. group of four awarded to Major A. W. Lavarack, Royal Fusiliers, who was decorated in 1917 for his part in the capture of Oppy, near Arras, commended by the C.O. of the 17th Royal Fusiliers for his ‘suggestions’ and ‘coolness’ during the Battle of Cambrai, and wounded in action during the German Spring Offensive Subsequently appointed Secretary and later President of the English Golf Union, Lavarack selected and accompanied two gifted amateur golfers to Baden Baden Golf Club in Germany in the aftermath of the 1936 Berlin Olympics, successfully masterminding a last-minute victory in the Golfpreis der Nationen Trophy, more commonly known as the ‘Hitler Trophy’ over the much-fancied young German pairing Military Cross, G.V.R., the reverse privately engraved ‘Oppy Village. Major A. Whitley Lavarack. 17th. R.F. June. 1917.’; 1914-15 Star (2. Lieut. A. W. Lavarack. R. Fus.); British War and Victory Medals (Major A. W. Lavarack.) nearly extremely fine (4) £1,400-£1,800 --- M.C. London Gazette 4 June 1917. Arthur Whitley Lavarack was born at Willesden, Middlesex, on 25 December 1883. Given the nickname ‘Tiny’ on account of his 5 foot 2 inch stature, Laverack spent his childhood and teenage years in Hendon and Austria, devoting his time to engineering and invention. Granted a patent in America for a ‘recreative switchback apparatus’ bearing a heavy resemblance to a Cornish wheelhouse of the 1800s, his creativity was only stifled by the outbreak of the Great War. Appointed Second Lieutenant in the Royal Fusiliers on 4 November 1915, he is recorded by author Edward Wyrall as one of the original contingent of the 17th (Service) Battalion. Sent to France on 16 November 1915, Lavarack joined 30 officers and 994 other ranks in the Annezin, and later Cuinchy, sectors. According to Wyrall, life at Cuinchy was pretty miserable: ‘In the front line, water and mud - anything from waist to knee deep - produced a condition almost indescribable. The hours men spent crouching against the walls of the trenches (for to show one’s head meant almost certain death from a sniper’s bullet) were passed in dull agony... shell holes and mine craters frequently overlapped one another, mostly full of stinking water, foul from decaying bodies which still lay beneath the turgid surface.’ Engaged at Guillemont and the Battle of the Somme, it was said that a subaltern’s life in the Royal Fusiliers at this time was worth only about a week’s purchase, so dreadful were the casualties among the officers. At the Battle of the Scarpe on 3-4 May 1917, two ‘fresh’ companies of the 17th Royal Fusiliers moved forward to assist the Canadians, one to Arleux Loop and the other to the old British line west of the loop. Noted as present by Wyrall, Lavarack was awarded the Military Cross. Oppy proved a turning point for the Battalion, for as Wyrall noted: ‘The old Battalion which had landed in France in 1915 was becoming extinct’. The surviving officers were now in command of inexperienced men, with strong leadership being ever more vital. On 30 November 1917, the Germans launched a savage rain of shellfire onto the Bapaume-Cambrai Road. Keen to retake the salient held by the Royal Fusiliers near Vendhuille, prodigious numbers of infantry left their trenches at 9 a.m. and began to swarm around British front line units. Holding back the surging masses of grey-clad figures, Captain W. N. Stone and Lieutenant S. Benzecry were both recommended for the V.C., the former being posthumously awarded the decoration in the London Gazette of 13 February 1918. Wyrall notes that the Commanding Officer of the 17th Battalion was keen to praise others: ‘...to Captain and Adjutant A. W. Lavarack, for the suggestions that he made and the coolness which he maintained which were of invaluable assistance to me, especially as both my signalling and intelligence officers were wounded earlier in the fighting.’ The early days of the Spring Offensive brought further challenges for Lavarack and his comrades. Facing a ‘grey avalanche’ at Miraumont, Courcelette, Le Sars and Loupart Wood, Wyrall notes an onslaught no less in magnitude than that faced by Stone and Benzecry in the Rat’s Tail a few months previously. Wounded in action, Lavarack was fortunate to reach the sanctuary of a casualty clearing station. Returned home at the cessation of hostilities, he then determined to spend the next 40 years enjoying the manicured fairways of the best golf courses up and down the breadth of the British Isles - in somewhat marked contrast to the Western Front. Appointed Paid Secretary to the English Golfing Union in 1934, Lavarack soon found himself meeting the German Führer who was considering a ‘spin off’ spectacle after the Berlin Olympic Games: ‘A difficult interview with Hitler is one of the odder golfing memories of Major A. Whitley Lavarack, who succeeds Mr. Alan Sowden, of Ilkley, as president of the English Golf Union at the Union’s annual meeting in London today. Major Lavarack, who has been secretary of the Union since 1925, spent much of his early life in Austria. When Hitler came to power, there was some talk that he would ban golf in Germany. Herr Heinkel (sic), the then president of the German Golf Union, asked Major Lavarack to use his influence to put over the golfers’ point of view. An interview was arranged. After Major Lavarack had explained the game and extolled its health-giving virtues, Hitler said impatiently: “If I allow my people to play golf it must be arranged that we win everything.” Major Lavarack said diffidently that this was not always possible. Hitler replied sharply: “If we do not win all the time I shall plough up the courses”.’ (Recollections of Major Lavarack, published in the Yorkshire Post and Leeds Mercury, 10 March 1954). It is difficult to understand why mid 1930s Germany held any interest in golf or golf tournaments at all, more so why the Führer would spend his own reichmarks on an amber-laden plate trophy. Germany had no golfing tradition, nor champions, and only around 50 courses. More pointedly, author Alan Fraser in his book The Hitler Trophy notes that ‘Hitler was to golf at that time what Tiger Woods is to painting today’. With time at a premium, the Head of the German Golf Union successfully sourced two talented amateur players, but was unable to convince the I.O.C. to admit golf into the programme for the 1936 Olympic Games. Instead, Karl Henkell arranged what he hoped would be a prestigious addendum, an international tournament that would be close enough in time, if not place, to be recognised as part of the Olympiad; christened Der Grosse Preis der Nationen, the tournament was designed to allow golf to wrap itself around the Olympic flag, offering further spectacle for the top German dignitaries. Emboldened by the success of a pre-Olympic tour of America, Henkell sent invitations to 36 countries inviting them to compete at Baden Baden Golf Club; 28 immediately declined. With an increasing awareness of German clubs expelling Jewish players, Switzerland and Sweden soon followed. This left England under the stewardship of Lavarack as one of the remaining half-dozen to accept, alongside France, Italy, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and the Netherlands. Accompanying Lavarack to Baden Baden were English golfers Tom Thirsk and Arnold Bentley. A seasoned pair, they faced 72 holes of strokeplay with the combined scores of both players determining the winner. From the calm surrounds of his Black Forest digs, Lavarack sent telegrams to his men: ‘Bes...

Royal Humane Society, small silver medal (successful) (Martin Rowley 1st. July 1916.) in fitted Elkington & Co. Ltd. case of issue, lacking integral riband buckle, abrasively cleaned and suspension claw tightened, edge bruising, nearly very fine and a rare ‘Colliery’ award £400-£500 --- R.H.S. Case No. 42,628: ‘At 1 a.m. on 1st July 1916, four men named Gallagher, Lynch, McLoughlan, and Ashurst were at work repairing the roof in the four-foot seam at the Long-Lane Colliery, Ashton-in-Makerfield, when a fall took place, burying all four men. A rescue party, consisting of Martin Rowley, Patrick Regan, Thomas Eden and Thomas Kelly, at once went to their assistance, it being found that the fall, which was estimated at about 14 tonnes of stone and earth, had completely buried McLoughlan and partly buried Lynch, with iron girders on top of both. Ashurst and Gallagher were easily liberated, but it was only after one and a quarters’ hours arduous work that Lynch was reached and got out, and quarter of an hour later when McLoughlan was also freed, but he was then dead. Owing to the confined space in which the rescuers had to work it was necessary for one man to lead, this post being taken by Rowley. There was a constant fear of another fall, which might have taken place at any moment, so that great risk was incurred.’ Martin Rowley was born in County Mayo, Ireland, around 1883. He is recorded in 1921 as a married underground colliery contractor living in Ashton-in-Makerfield, Wigan, the father of four sons and a daughter. A man of great character, he took employment in later life as a metalman at the Long Lane Colliery, Ashton, and it was here that he died on 5 July 1941 in consequence of a similar rock fall. Inquest testimony adds: ‘Stephen Meadows, of 8, James Street, Lower Ince, said he and Rowley were stripping the kench and packing the face. At 12.30 on Saturday morning, Rowley was in a kneeling position, setting a prop, when a stone measuring approximately 2 feet 9 inches by 1 foot 8 inches fell from the roof and caught him on the left shoulder. Rowley then fell forward onto a hammer shaft which caught him in the stomach.’ Rowley died not long thereafter in consequence of a ruptured bowel, another tragedy to list alongside the tens of thousands of men losing their lives on 1 July 1916.
