A. Upfill-Brown Collection, Buckland Dix & Wood, December 1991; Dr. A. L. Lloyd Collection, Bonhams, March 2013. C.M.G. London Gazette 2 January 1900: ‘For services as Principal Medical Officer of the West African Frontier Force on the Niger.’ Wordsworth Poole, who was born into a medical family at St. Paul's Cray, Kent, on 7 December 1867, was the son of Samuel Wordsworth Poole, an M.D. of Aberdeen and, later, vicar of St. Mark’s, Cambridge, and the grandson of Richard Poole, an eminent physician, psychiatrist and phrenologist, who practised in Edinburgh. He was educated at St. Olave’s School, London, where he won several scholarships and then proceeded to St. Catherine's College, Cambridge where he entered the medical faculty. Completing his training at Guy's Hospital, and qualifying as an M.B. and B.C.H., he was unimpressed with the humdrum prospects of a provincial G.P., and Wordsworth Poole, after a short time as house surgeon, went forth to play his part in Empire, later jotting: ‘There was a young Cambridge M.B. Said I won't be a Cambridge G.P. But to Africa's shore I'll stick ever more And now he's a K.C.M.G.’ Fortunately for posterity’s sake, during his time in Central Africa, Poole kept a journal and wrote many letters to members of his family. Edited and published circa 1960 by Michael Gelfand under the title ‘Doctor on Lake Nyasa - Being the Journal and Letters of Dr. Wordsworth Poole (1895-1897)’ these writings, often quoted below, provide a rare insight into an important period of British rule in Central Africa, dealing as they do with the final overthrow of the armed forces of the African chiefs and Arab leaders who conducted a huge traffic in slaves around and beyond the shores of Lake Nyasa. They also contain much of interest from a medical perspective and many references to the life led by the early Europeans in the protectorate. British Central Africa On 5 January 1895, Poole was appointed to the Administration of the British Central Africa Protectorate as second Medical Officer. Bidding farewell to his brother, Francis, at Cairo on 19 February 1895 he embarked for Zomba, via Suez, Zanzibar and Mozambique, arriving on 17 April. Upon arrival, he observed in a letter to his Aunt Mary that there was a great mixture of nationalities in the tiny community of Zomba: ‘There are British, Yaos, Atongas, Arabs, Hindi, Goanese, Zanzibaris, Makua from Mozambique, Persians, a jJew, Zulus, Angoni - all speaking different languages’. As was to be expected, Poole at once commenced to treat the sick, one of his first calls was to make an African a wooden leg, his leg having been bitten off by a crocodile. Promotion was swift and, following the resignation of the incumbent, Dr. Rendall, by October he held the post of Principal Medical Officer, on the recommendation of the Commissioner, Sir Harry Johnston, who said of him, he had 'shown himself to be a most capable man and he can stand the climate and likes the country.' Wordsworth’s job was not an easy one, however, involving as it did, leaving his post at a moment’s notice to attend to members of the administration. Malaria and its complication, blackwater fever, were the most serious disadvantages of the country. The mortality rate amongst the officials and settlers must have been one of the highest in the world with an overall annual death rate of around 10 percent. The death rate among officials was particularly high. In 1897-98 there were 81 officials, of whom one-fifth were always on leave. Out of the total of 65 in the country there were 12 deaths (18 per cent), practically all in the prime of their life. Although conditions for the handful of Europeans in the capital were harsh, Poole discovered he could get by set apart from fair-skinned females; his military neighbours, on the other hand, he found rather trying. 'Take them all round,' he wrote, 'soldiers are about the most uninteresting men out - Their calling seems to wash anything original out of them and they become exasperating bores.' However, he enthusiastically entered the social life of the place, becoming secretary of the sports club and building a tennis court. Being of literary interests, he was also the prime mover in establishing a library. In September 1895, Wordsworth Poole took part in the first of several expeditions to suppress slavery on the southern shores of Lake Nyasa. As the expedition approached Chief Matipwiri's village, he was conscious of the ever present dangers ‘It was difficult to get rid of an uncomfortable feeling that some of the enemy lurking in the grass might loose off a gun at you, trusting for his chance of getting away in the long grass, in which they dodge about like hares. This did actually happen, for just as we were setting about to bivouac, three of the enemy fired from the bush, hitting no one but one of them got dropped by two bullets’. Contemplating the forthcoming battle 'I had been thinking all day what I should do when the action commenced,' he imagined himself treating the casualties, with his, 'boy carrying my Winchester to be handy’ in case he should be attacked when attending to the wounded. The reality, however, was somewhat different. The enemy evaporated and, ‘various parties went out burning villages and killing a few folk.’ The following month, enabled by an absence of sickness in Zomba, Poole was thrilled to join Major C. E. Edwards on his campaign against Zirafi, a powerful chief living on a steep and impregnable hill covered with boulders of rock, ‘with people potting at you from good cover.’ The skirmishing en-route was described by Poole in a letter to his mother ‘I and my hospital carriers were passing a clearing when about 70 yards away from us two guns blazed off from behind rocks. The porters threw down their loads and hooked. My boy ran up to me with my rifle, and I was trying to catch sight of someone to fire at (I’m fairly steady with the rifle now) when I saw a flash and some smoke, followed by another, and a bullet fell near my feet, knocking up dust into my face’. They pushed on, intent on punishing the naughty Zirafi, but, on finding the enemy's town abandoned, embarked upon the next stage of the campaign against the wicked Mponda, who in turn gave himself up in fear of the oncoming white men. Poole, meanwhile, was busy in his hospital and had been performing several operations, ‘Last Saturday I took off a man’s hand. He had been shot through the wrist by one of Zirafi’s men about six week’s ago. Since then he has had Tetanus, but recovered at Fort Johnston. He is...

A scarce ‘Birkenhead Survivor’s’ South Africa Medal awarded to Colour Sergeant J. O’Neil, 91st Foot, who had the misfortune of twice being shipwrecked, and was wounded in action during the Third Kaffir War South Africa 1834-53 (J. O’Neil. 91st. Regt.) traces of brooch mounting, edge bruising, otherwise nearly very fine £1,800-£2,200 --- Provenance: Glendining’s, September 1990 John O’Neil, ‘the son of a farrier-major in the 7th Dragoon Guards, was born on board ship near Malta in 1827. Enlisting in the 91st Foot, he set sail for South Africa in 1842. His ship, the Abercrombie Robinson, was wrecked in Table Bay in a cyclone, and the impedimenta of the regiment was lost. After a delay of six months he went to the frontier until 1844, when war broke out with the Kaffirs, and two years later he was engaged in the war with the Boers. His first adventure in this was when his regiment made a forced march from Grahamstown to Boomplats, where they encountered General Joubert, President Pretorious, and Paul Kruger, commanding a large number of burghers. The British were commanded by Sir Harry Smith. In 1850 he was again engaged with the Kaffirs, and in 1852 he went on escort duty to Robbin Island with prisoners, and afterwards went on board the ill-fated Birkenhead at Simonstown. Between that harbour and Port Elizabeth, in the locality of Danger Point, the Birkenhead went down through the recklessness of the skipper, seven hours after the embarkation, and Sergeant O’Neil was shipwrecked for the second time in his life. There were over 600 persons on board, and of this number 450 were drowned or fell victims to the sharks. Sergeant O’Neil swam ashore, and had to walk 16 miles under a scorching sun before assistance could be obtained. In 1853 he was again battling with the Kaffirs, and before the conclusion of the campaign was wounded in the leg by a bullet. He returned home in 1855, and two years later was ordered to India, where he served for two years.’ (Recipient's obituary refers). The Birkenhead Disaster O’Neil’s own account of the Birkenhead disaster is as follows: ‘I and my escort had only been on board seven hours when the vessel struck on a rock between Simon's Bay and Port Elizabeth, somewhere near Danger Point. She struck a mile and a quarter from shore. It is fair to suppose the disaster was caused by reckless navigation, because outside the breakers the seas was as smooth, almost, as a floor; there was scarcely a ripple on the surface of the water. It was a strange scene when she struck. The Captain of the ship rushed down below and told the sailors to man the boats. "Lower your boats, men", said he, "We are all lost!". I never saw him again. Captain Wright [the only officer of the 91st Foot on board] gave the order: "All hands fall in on deck", and we fell in, every man. He told off so many soldiers and so many sailors to each boat, to get them out and save the women and children. I forget how many boats there were, but every boat available was got over the side. No man was allowed to leave the ranks till the boats were pushed off. Any rush would have swamped the boats for certain, but no one thought of doing it. Discipline was maintained till the last. The ship went down twenty minutes after striking. It was a terrible time, but we stood on. We all expected to die, but the women and children were got safely off. Not one of them was drowned, thank God. They and their escort comprised the greater part of those who were saved. The water rose as the ship was sinking. Before we left her we were up to our necks in water on the top deck. Just before the end came Captain Wright addressed us. "You men who cannot swim", said he, "stick to some wreckage- whatever you can lay hands on. As for you who can swim, I can give you no advice. As you see, there are sharks about, and I cannot advise you how to avoid them." There was many a quiet hand-shake and silent good-bye. Few of us hoped to live through it. The breakers between us and the shore were awful. At last the ship sank. There was a lurch and a plunge, and all was over. I found myself in the water and struck out for shore. I had next to nothing on in the way of clothing. It was a fight for life. We were not above a mile and a quarter from land, as far as my eye served me; but that is plenty far enough when there are breakers and sharks! The breakers were so big. Luckily I knew how to swim breakers, or I should not be here now. Any one not knowing how to would have been drowned, as sure as fate! They would smother him. With proper management a breaker will sometimes sweep you in for hundreds of yards. The backwash was the worst. I stuck to it, and got ashore at last, escaping the sharks. I saw nothing of the rest, or of the ship’s boats. All the trouble was not over when I got ashore. I had to walk sixteen miles stark naked under a blazing sun before I met anyone or obtained any assistance. I shall never forget Captain Wright. If it had not been for him all hands would have been lost, women and children and all.’ Promoted Corporal in June 1856, Sergeant in October 1859, and Colour Sergeant in June 1861, O’Neil was discharged in November 1864, after 21 years and 75 days’ service. The following January he was appointed Sergeant Instructor of the Lincolnshire Rifle Volunteers, and served with them for over twenty years, finally retiring in March 1885, after a total of 41 years and 131 days’ service. A public testimonial was organised as a mark of appreciation to his services, to which Field Marshal Lord Roberts contributed. O’Neil died in Boston, Lincolnshire, December 1904, and was buried with full Military Honours; at the time of his death he was said to be the last military survivor of the Birkenhead disaster. Sold with copied research, including a copy of the book ‘Drums of the Birkenhead, by David Bevan.

Indian Mutiny 1857-59, no clasp (Cornet C. J. [sic] A. Barnes, 2nd. Dragn. Gds.) good very fine £400-£500 --- Charles Gabriel Alfred Barnes was commissioned Ensign in the West Essex Militia on 6 January 1855, and served with the 2nd Dragoon Guards (Queen’s Bays) in India during the Great Sepoy Mutiny, the Medal Roll stating: ‘At Dawah near Newabgunge on 12 October 1858 under Brigadier Purnell. At Dawah near Newabgunge on 7 November 1858 under fire from the enemy’s piquet when on patrol in charge of Lieutenant Palmer Hudson’s Horse.’ Barnes had a relatively short and inauspicious career as the following newspaper cutting shows: ‘Henry Mullen, Hewett Wheatley, Charles Gabriel Alfred Barnes, and Walter William Younger; four fashionably dressed gentlemen stated to be officers in the army appeared before the Mayor of Dover to answer a charge of wrenching off knockers and conducting themselves in a disorderly manner in Shakespeare Place, Castle Street and Church Street. Superintendent Coram in reply to the bench said that several parties whose properties had been injured, including Mr G. T. Parke of Church Street had promised to be in attendance to press the complaint before their worships but none of them had appeared. Sergeant Geddes said that about half past one o’clock on Sunday morning as he was on duty in the Market Place he heard a great disturbance in Shakespeare Place and Castle Street and on getting near to the spot from which it proceeded he saw the four defendants engaged in wrenching off knockers. He stood and watched the proceedings for a short time and ultimately saw them pull off a knocker from a house in Church Street. On getting up to them he saw the knocker in the hands of Mr Barnes. The Mayor: “And how goes it the parties are not here to prosecute the charge?” Sergeant Geddes: “I cannot say sir, I have called upon them all.” The Mayor - “This is very disgraceful. Complaints of this kind of thing are continually being made to the bench; and when the police do their duty parties neglect to come forward. I am sorry to see you gentlemen in this position. Men of your standing who have to maintain discipline in your respective corps should be the last to be found guilty of such disgraceful conduct. It happens fortunately for you that the persons are not here to prosecute, for had they been you would have received as much punishment as the law permits. If poor unfortunate people get into difficulties of this kind prosecutors have no hesitation in coming forward and I cannot understand why they neglect to come in the present instance. As it is the case will be dismissed on you paying the Court fees.” Each of the defendants handed over his “two shillings for the hearing” apparently much amused at the ridiculous character of their punishment. The serious part of the drama has yet to be performed the Mayor having represented the matter to the Commander in Chief.’ Things didn’t get any better for Barnes, and he was subsequently before the bench again, this time for violent assault: ‘At the Westminster Police-court, London, Mr. Charles Gabriel Alfred Barnes, of the 2nd Dragoon Guards, residing at Bellevue-house, Notting-Hill, was finally examined charged with violently assaulting Mr. Henry Edridge Rice, of Howard-villa, Thistle-grove, solicitor. Complainant stated that on the evening of the Derby day he was standing in front of the circular bar at Cremorne Gardens, having a glass of ale and smoking, when the defendant and some friends pushed against him and deliberately knocked his pipe out of his mouth. Complainant naturally said, “What do you mean by that? You have knocked my pipe down, now pick it up.” He was then pushed about, hustled, and threatened by the defendant and his companions. In presence of a policeman he asked defendant what he meant by such conduct. In reply he received a desperate blow from him. A medical certificate was produced from Mr. Goodrich, surgeon, testifying that the complainant is suffering from a displacement of the nasal cartilages, the result of some external violence, and that although he progresses favourably it will be some time before he recovers from the injuries he has sustained. It was stated by the police constable that there was a great disturbance at the time complainant was assaulted. The witness’s hat was knocked over his eyes by someone, so that he could not see. He afterwards took the defendant into custody. Both parties were sober. Joseph Timms, clerk and money taker at Cremorne Gardens, corroborated Mr. Rice in every particular, adding that he stood slightly above the crowd and could see well everything that passed. After the accused had struck Mr. Rice, he said, “He asked for a hotulk and he’s got it,” or words to that effect. He was familiar with the prisoner’s face, but only knew his name by hearing a woman, in talking of the assault, say shortly afterwards, “Oh! it is that brute Barnes”. In cross-examination the witness stated that at the time of the assault Mr. Barnes had not a stick in his right hand, as he struck the blow with that hand. Mr. Charles Hanbury, of 19, Wilton Place, Regents Park, said that the defendant was his cousin. He had been with the defendant and his brother to the Derby, and went to Cremorne in the evening. He had hold of defendant’s left arm, but could not say whether he carried a stick in his right hand. He did not recollect anything having been said about a pipe. He simply heard Mr Rice charge his cousin with the assault, when the latter immediately replied, “I shall be happy to go to the station.” The place where the assault was committed was so crowded that it was impossible for any one to say who struck another a blow. Mr. Frederick Barnes, an officer in the 5th Middlesex Militia, residing at Bellevue-house, Notting-hill, brother of the defendant, was then called, and most positively denied that any one act imputed to his brother by complainant had been done by him. He walked on his right side, and saw him as usual carrying his stick in his right hand. He was most positive that his brother did not commit the assault. The witness, in answer to a question from Mr. Lewis, said it was totally false that his brother had been fined £5 for an assault. The defendant was then committed for trial, but, as before, admitted to bail.’ Barnes was allowed ‘to retire from the service by the sale of his Commission’ on 4 January 1861, having perhaps done more fighting outside the Regiment than in it. Sold with copied research.
