Pair: Lieutenant D. A. Vanrenen, Manchester Regiment, later Assistant Resident in Northern Nigeria - where he and a small force were ambushed and murdered by 600 Guari tribesmen, 6 May 1909, ‘a deadly fire of poisoned arrows at short range was poured upon the British. Lieut. Vanrenen being at once killed, his body falling into the long grass...’ Queen’s South Africa 1899-1902, 3 clasps, Natal, Transvaal, Orange Free State (Lieut. D. A. Vanrenen, Manch: Rgt.) clasps in this order; King’s South Africa 1901-02, 2 clasps, South Africa 1901, South Africa 1902 (Lt. D. A. Van Renan. Manc. Rgt.) note variation in surname, nearly extremely fine (2) £360-£440 --- Provenance: Dix Noonan Webb, February 2016. Donald Adrian Vanrenen/Van Renen was born in Kensington, London in March 1876, and was employed as an assistant resident by the Colonial Office on the Niger Coast Protectorate in 1896. He returned to the UK and was commissioned second lieutenant in the Manchester Regiment in March 1900, and served with his regiment in South Africa from June of the same year. Vanrenen was hospitalised for 7 months, before re-joining the 1st Battalion in February 1901. He was seconded to ‘A’ Division, South African Constabulary in May 1901, and continued to serve with them until he resigned his commission in October 1902. Vanrenen returned to the Colonial Office, and was posted to Nigeria as an assistant resident. He was murdered there by Guari tribesmen, 6 May 1909. The following details were given in The Cornishman, 19 August 1909: ‘Details have been received of the recent attack on a British force in Nigeria when Lieut. Vanrenen, who was in charge, and 11 police were killed and the doctor wounded. In May, a telegram from Zungeru announced the fact that the force in question had been ambushed, and that a punitive force had been dispatched. The ill-fated party had started from Kuta only a few hours before it was attacked. It consisted of Lieut. Vanrenen, Capt. Stone, a doctor, a European sergeant, and 30 police. Accompanying the force was the Chief of Gussoro. Its object was to march to Gussoro and there re-instate the chief who, for his loyalty to the British was compelled to leave the town. For two months previously it was reported that the Guaris had been making poisoned arrows, and had declared that they would oppose the return of the chief. It was not thought that the people would attack, but as a measure of precaution Major Williams force had been held in readiness at Kote in case of trouble. When the attack was made the telegraph line was down. Lieut. Vanrenen had only proceeded for a few miles when he was completely overwhelmed by a force of some 600 natives, who surrounded the party in the thick bush. A deadly fire of poisoned arrows at short range was poured upon the British. Lieut. Vanrene being at once killed, his body falling in the long grass, the doctor was also wounded by poison arrows and eleven police were killed. Whatever formation was possible was attempted, but the heavy and well directed fire completely disorganised the remainder of the police, who fled. Capt. Stone with great gallantry went back to try and recover his chief’s body, but was unsuccessful, the remains being subsequently found by the punitive force and buried on the spot.’ Sold with copied research.
Pair: Volunteer W. Emberson, Nyasaland Volunteer Reserve, a Missionary of the Zambezi Industrial Mission based in proximity to John Chilembwe’s Mission and the Bruce Estates, who kept a journal during the Chilembwe Rebellion of January 1915 British War and Victory Medals (584 Vol. W. Emberson. Nyasaland V.R.) generally good very fine or better (2) £180-£220 --- William Wilfred Emberson ‘in 1915... a bachelor, was an evangelist member of the Zambezi Industrial Mission (Z.I.M.) based at Mitsidi, situated to the south-west of Michuru Mountain in proximity both to John Chilembwe’s Providence Industrial (P.I.M.) at Mbombwe and the vast Bruce Estates centred on Magomero. It was at Magomero that the general manager of Bruce Estates, William Jarvis Livingstone, was brutally murdered and decapitated in front of his wife and children by Chilembwe’s followers during an attack on his house during the evening of 23 January 1915...’ (The Chilembwe Rising and William Emberson: an Unpublished Missionary’s Account, by D. Stuart-Mogg, as appeared in The Society of Malawi Journal Vol. 72) Emberson kept a confidential journal during the Chilembwe Rebellion of 1915. Extracts of this unpublished journal were printed in the above in 2019, and reflect a man fearful of his own safety during the early hours of the rebellion in Nyasaland moving on to recording events like happening on the bloody violence of an execution of prisoners by a firing squad made up of Nyasaland Volunteer Reservists in Blantyre. Diary excerpts include: “I was sitting on a stone as a chair, when I saw one of our Mitsidi men come along. I began to wonder right off. Then he handed me a small note which made my blood run cold. It ran as follows: “Dear Mr. Stewart, If Mr Emberson has not gone to Kombe stop him. Natives have risen and attacked Mandala; come her in meantime”.... On leaving Mr Holmes and going down to my lonely house to spend the night by myself I did not feel at all comfortable. I locked all the doors and fastened the windows as a little precaution, and hid my razors, and noted where my gun was but would not load it so that it could not be said that I wanted to shoot.” Cinderella’s Soldiers erroneously gives Emberson as additionally entitled to A.G.S. with ‘Nyasaland 1915’ clasp and 1914-15 Star. The above is his full entitlement. Sold with copied research, including photographic image of recipient.
Three: Chaplain General F. H. Beaven, Rhodesia Forces, latterly Bishop of Southern Rhodesia, who was described by men of the 2nd Rhodesia Regiment thus - ‘Bishop Beaven had appealed to our spiritual fundamentals, exhorted us to be material and cold blooded, and rubbed in the righteous war with the big “R” and the Red, White & Blue until we didn’t know whether he was a parson or soldier’ Queen’s South Africa 1899-1902, 1 clasp, Cape Colony (Rev. F. H. Beaven. C to F.); British War and Victory Medals (Ch. Gen. F. H. Beaven.) nearly extremely fine (3) £400-£500 --- Frederic Hicks Beaven was born in Rodwell, Caine, Wiltshire on 11 April 1855, the eldest son of Christopher Beaven. He was educated at Queen Elizabeth’s School, Wimborne and University College, Durham. Was Curate of St. Martin’s, Brighton, 1878. Beaven served as Vicar of Newborough, Staffordshire, 1881-85; Vicar of St. Chad’s, Stafford, 1885-87 and Vicar of St. Paul’s, Burton-on-Trent, 1887-1901. He served as acting chaplain to the forces in South Africa, 1900, and was appointed Archdeacon of Matabeleland in 1903. Beaven was appointed Dean of Salisbury (Rhodesia) in 1908, and served as Bishop of Southern Rhodesia, 1910-25. He served as Chaplain General of the Rhodesian Forces during the Great War, and retiring from his bishopric, he then served as Rector of Thelnetham, Suffolk, 1925-26. The following extracts from Church & Settler in Colonial Zimbabwe by P. Wood, and The Church in Southern Rhodesia by H. St. T. Evans, give insight into Beaven’s time in Africa: ‘In the middle of 1904, the diocese was honoured with a visit from Archbishop West Jones and Mrs West Jones. The visit of the Metropolitan is best described in his own words. “The first three weeks of July were spent in Rhodesia. I visited first the Matopo Hills, where Cecil Rhodes’ body lies beneath a single flat stone, and within sight of that grave I conducted, with the Archdeacon of Matabeleland, the Ven. F. H. Beaven, the religious service at the unveiling of the granite monument to the memory of Wilson and his heroic men who fell fighting at Shangani [1893]. It was a most impressive sight.” To Beaven, the men of the patrol were heroes, splendid examples of duty honoured and death willingly undertaken for their country....’ ‘Powell was succeeded by a man already on the staff of Mashonaland, Frederic Hicks Beaven, the man whom he had brought to Salisbury as Dean in 1908 in order to free himself to concentrate on missions. Beaven had been Vicar-General since Powell’s departure for England in late 1909. He was an Englishman from a military family and a man of private means, but, like Gaul, was neither a public school nor a “University” man. He had trained for the ministry at St. Bee’s a non-theological college in the North of England and as a non-graduate briefly at Durham University. These facts alone would have prevented him rising to high office in the ‘home’ church, since non-graduates and St. Bee’s were not held in high regard. Beaven, had, however been a highly successful parish priest at Stafford in the diocese of Lichfield, before going out to South Africa as a chaplain to the Imperial troops in 1901. He had then stayed on to do district work in the Cape Town Diocese, became Archbishop of Matabeleland in 1903 and was responsible for beginning and sustaining church work in North-Western Rhodesia. He was the choice of the laity in the elective assembly of the diocese, who made it clear that they wanted no one else. He believed that the British Empire which the settlers represented was the world’s greatest secular agency for good and among the personal heroes he listed at his enthronement sermon was Cecil Rhodes, in company with King Alfred, St. Augustine, David Livingstone, Bishop Grey (first bishop of Cape Town) and the seventeenth century Anglican divine William Law. So great was Beaven’s admiration for Rhodes that, when the Dean of Salisbury was raising funds for a cathedral, he proposed that one of its chapels be dedicated as a memorial to Rhodes alone, as founder of the country. St. George’s Chapel was eventually built as a memorial both to him and those others who had laid down their lives in the pioneer work of occupation.’ The Right Reverend Frederic Hicks Beaven died in January 1941. Sold with copied research, including photographic images of the recipient.

TWO QAJAR LACQUERED LEATHER PAPIER MACHE BOOK COVERS PERSIA, 19TH CENTURY with central reserves of lovers on white grounds adorned with peacocks and flowers within script borders, the opposing sides with panels of script on red and gilt grounds; one comprising front cover only, framed; the other comprising front and back cover, unframedDimensions:46cm x 31cm eachProvenance:Provenance: Kimmerghame, Duns, the Estate of the Late Major General Sir John Swinton K.C.V.O., O.B.E., D.L. (1925-2018)Major General Sir John Swinton began his military career in 1944 with the Scots Guards, rising in rank to Major General in 1976. He was also Brigadier of the Queen’s Body Guard for Scotland (Royal Company of Archers) in 1977, and retired from Army life in 1979. With his strong military background, he was appointed Deputy Lieutenant for Berwickshire in 1980 and Lord Lieutenant from 1989 to 2000. A high point of his tenure was escorting the Stone of Scone back to Scotland in 1996.The Swinton family history and ownership of land in Berwickshire can be traced to the early part of the 12th century, when Ernulf de Swinton received one of the first private charters recorded in Scotland which confirmed his property from David I of Scotland (1084-1153). This is one of two original charters of David I kept in the cartulary of Durham; both are to Ernulf and also refer to Ernulf’s father (Udard), grandfather (Liulf) and great-grandfather (Eadulf) as holding the land before him. This would make Eadulf the first landowner of Scotland whose ownership could be proved, and means that the Swinton family would by this hypothesis be one of only three (the two others being the Arden and Berkeley families) that could trace its unbroken land ownership and lineage to before the Norman Conquest, making it one of the oldest landed families in Britain.Kimmerghame itself was the site of an earlier house, the home of Sir Andrew Home in the 1730s. The lands and estate of Kimmerghame came into the ownership of the family of Swinton in 1776 when Archibald Swinton of Manderston married Henrietta Campbell of Blythswood in Glasgow. This older house was demolished and rebuilt in the early 1850s, the architect being the celebrated David Bryce, who employed some materials from the older house. Bryce’s Scots Baronial house was substantially damaged by fire in 1938 and only partially rebuilt. The family still retains Kimmerghame and its contents.Captain Archibald Swinton (1731-1804) went to India in the service of the East India Company as a surgeon. He reached Madras in 1752 and took part in the campaigns being waged between the French and English Companies for supremacy in the south. He also took part in an expedition 1756-57 to Negrais in Burma. He reached eastern India for the first time in 1759 when he arrived at Ganjam in Orissa and from there went on to Calcutta. He also transferred from being a surgeon to an ensignship in the Company’s Bengal army.When Archibald Swinton left the Company’s service at the end of 1765, he took with him a letter from the Emperor to King George III asking for help to reseat him on the throne of his ancestors, since Clive would not do so unilaterally; Swinton took a munshi with him in case the answer should be written in Persian. So ‘Captain Swinton, bringing with him the Munshy (sic) (and including in his baggage the large Indian jars, the Indian pictures, Chinese pictures painted on glass, numberless ivory, silver and crystal handled arms, jewels, Persian books, etc. etc.), sailed from India …’ The important group of Indian paintings and other works of art are now in the care of the National Museum of Scotland having been accepted by the nation in lieu of inheritance tax.The Swinton family have had strong connections with the Army and the legal profession. Part of their impressive collection was sold at our saleroom in Five Centuries: Furniture, Paintings and Works of Art sale on 23 Feb 2022, and subsequently Fine Asian & Islamic Works of Art on 13 May 2022, lot 150-159
