6 A WWII ‘Bomber Command’ DFM Group of 4 awarded to Flight Sergeant Dennis Axtell, 51 Squadron, No. 4 Group, Royal Air Force, a ‘fearless and skillful’ Wireless Operator who completed 38 bombing sorties and nearly 260 hours over targets in France, Germany and Italy, prior to his being shot down and killed in action over France by a German night-fighter on the 17th of April 1943, comprising: Distinguished Flying Medal, GVIR (626794.. F/Sgt. D. Axtell. R.A.F.), Air Crew Europe Star, 1939-45 Star, War Medal, 1939-45; the first officially impressed, the remainder unnamed as issued, group loose. Group lightly toned, extremely fine. (4) £1,800-2,200

DFM London Gazette 20.04.1943 Flight Sergeant Dennis Axtell was born in June 1920 at Epsom, Surrey, and having moved to live in St Helens, Isle of Wight, he later served with 51 Squadron, RAF, during WWII, based in Snaith between October 1942 and April 1945.

Reaching the rank of Flight Sergeant, he was killed in action on the 17th of April 1943, during a raid intended to disable to Skoda Automobile Works based in Pilsen. Leaving Snaith, the Handley Page Halifax Mk. II was attacked and shot down by a German night fighter (Hptm Hans-Karl Hamp) at 04:36am, and according to a witness, the aircraft came down in flames, and broke into three sections in the areas of Eppeville and St. Sulpice on the Somme. Almost the entire crew was killed, including F/Sgt Axtell (Wireless Operator) excepting the sole survivor - one WO W R Keirnan, who though wounded managed to open a parachute, and was subsequently taken POW. Flight Sergeant Axtell was awarded the DFM posthumously later that month, having been originally recommended for this award on the 22nd of February 1943, and his recommendation reads: “Flight Sergeant Axtell has carried out 34 bombing sorties and 4 convoy escort patrols and is on his second tour of operations. He has always shown consistent keenness and his work as Wireless Operator has contributed largely to the successful operations carried out by the aircraft in which he has flown. Flight Sergeant Axtell’s strong sense of duty and determination has inspired a high standard of morale in the crew in which he is Wireless Operator. Throughout both his tours of operations he has displayed unusual initiative and his resourcefulness and skill has proved a big asset to the completion of many successful sorties. His cheerful courage, unselfishness, and sacrifice well deserve recognition by the award of the Distinguished Flying Medal.”

Sold with copy casualty certificate, London Gazette mentions, and some biographical research, showing his having married one Agnes Axtell (née Smyth), from Belfast, in December 1941. F/Sgt Dennis Axtell was buried in Maucourt Cemetery, France, and is commemorated on the St Helens Church Memorial, Isle of Wight.

7 A Very Rare Russian WWI St George Medal for Bravery, 2nd Class, awarded to Sergeant Edward George Cox, Machine Gun Corps (Cavalry), late 10th (Prince of Wales’ Own Royal) Hussars, awarded for gallantry and distinguished service in the field, comprising: Russia, St George Medal for Bravery, 2nd Class, Nicholas II, struck in gold (239 Sgt. E. G. Cox. 10th Hus.); officially impressed, reverse numbered ‘No 2872’. Toned, contact marks and light scratches, otherwise nearly very fine, and very rare. £3,000-4,000

Russia, St George Medal, 2nd Class, London Gazette 25.08.1915 - ‘For Gallantry and Distinguished Service in the Field’ Whilst rather esoteric and lacking much in the way of published research, a number of Russian awards were issued to British servicemen during the Great War, many of which appear to relate to the Second Battle of Ypres. Some of these awards were noted in contemporary newspaper reports as having been issued to British recipients personally by the Grand Duke Michael of Russia at the London quarters of his Military Attaché, General Yermoloff.

Several awards of the St George Medal for Bravery, 2nd Class made to Cavalry & Yeomanry regiments appear to relate the final day of the Battle of Frezenberg Ridge, on the 13th of May, 1915 (a similar example was sold at DNW in 2009 to a casualty of this action in the North Somerset Yeomanry). On the morning of the 13th, near Hooge & Potijze Chateau, the 10th Hussars (then part of the 8th Cavalry Brigade, 3rd Cavalry Division) and Essex Yeomanry led a hard fought but ultimately very successful attack on nearby German trenches, capturing a section of battlefield nearly a mile deep into the Ypres salient. The success on this occasion inevitably came at a cost, with 138 officers and other ranks of the Royal Hussars taken as casualties, including the death of their Commanding Officer Lieutenant Colonel Shearman, who was killed leading the charge.

Sold with copy MIC, showing his entitlement to a 1914 Star, British War & Victory Medals, copy London Gazette mention, and extracts taken from ‘The 10th P.W.O. Royal Hussars and The Essex Yeomanry during the European War, 1914-1918’ by Lt Col. F H D C Whitmore which also records this award.

Sold with copy roll mention confirming this award to Private Miles Bird, who served in Lieutenant-Colonel Banlay’s Company at the Battle of Waterloo.The 2nd Battalion 1st Foot Guards played a key part in the defence of Hougoumont, the large farmhouse building and walled orchard on the British right. Identified by both Wellington and Napoleon as holding the key to potential victory, Wellington placed his elite 1st (Foot Guards) Division both in and around the chateau – the 1st Brigade (2nd & 3rd Battalions 1st Foot Guards) under Major General Maitland inside the Chateau itself, and the 2nd Brigade (2nd Battalion Coldstream Guards and 2nd Battalion 3rd (Scots) Foot Guards) under Major General Byng in the gardens and on the ridge immediately behind.

During the course of the day, the 1st Division held on despite the desperate fighting at Hougoumont, as Napoleon launched repeated heavy attacks in his attempt to seize the farmhouse and shatter the British right. Despite suffering very heavy casualties, the Guards managed to repulse the French, and even as a handful of troops managed to force their way in, the Guards swiftly reclosed the door, and killed the trapped soldiers, sparing only a young French drummer boy. As Wellington later wrote, “the success of the battle turned upon closing the gates at Hougoumont”, and for the bravery of the 1st Foot Guards in the final defeat of the Grenadiers of the French Imperial Guard, they were granted their famous title – The Grenadier Guards.

He personally interrogated the great Mughal court poet Mirza Azadullah Khan Ghalib – but aware of his fame and importance he provided him safe passage to his home, thus helping to ensure the survival of his own correspondence and writings from that time, comprising: Jellalabad Medal, 1841-2, 2nd ‘flying victory’ type reverse, with contemporary replacement gold suspension and top bar, Cabul Medal, 1841-2, ‘CABUL 1842’ type reverse, with contemporary replacement gold suspension and top bar (Sub Ast Comy Gen Capt H.

Sold with the medal awarded to his son: INDIA GENERAL SERVICE MEDAL, 1854-95, single clasp, Burma 1885-7 (Captn H. P. Burn 1st Bn Rif. Brig.) officially engraved in a running script, with reverse pin for wear. Lightly toned, a few light marks and hairlines, a little discolouration in parts, otherwise good very fine. (5) £4,000-6,000

Major-General Henry Pelham Burn (1807-1882) was born on the 18th of November 1807, the son of John Burn of Kingston, East Lothian, Scotland, and the great-nephew of Major-General William Burn (1745–1814 HEIC) after whom Burn Bastion was named in Old Delhi, on the walls north of the Kabul Gate, and who had successfully conducted the defence of the city against attacking Mahratta forces in October 1804.

Henry Pelham Burn joined His Majesty’s Honourable East India Company as an Ensign with the 1st Bengal Native Infantry on the 16th of August 1824 at the age of 16, being promoted to Lieutenant in May 1825, Captain in July 1837, and was reputedly selected for service personally by Sir Claude Wade in the First Afghan War of 1839-1842. He was present at the siege of Jellallabad and the defeat of Akbar Khan, and then at the re-occupation of Cabul, being rewarded with a Staff appointment with the military audit department. He later served in the Anglo-Sikh War of 1848-9 and was made Brevet-Major, and was for a time Deputy-Adjutant General.

At the time of the Indian Mutiny Lieutenant-Colonel Burn was attached as Field Officer to Brigadier-General John Nicholson’s Brigade, and was present at the siege and subsequent fall of Delhi, for which he was mentioned in despatches (15.12.1857) as having ‘earned the approbation of the Government’. He was appointed the city’s Military Governor, which marked his last and most important role, whereupon he was given the ‘Sword of Delhi’ which was taken from one of the sons of the last Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah, (which remained in the family as an heirloom before its generous repatriation in 1957). As mentioned above, he also interrogated the famous poet Mirza Azadullah Khan Ghalib, and creditably sent him home safely. Having been brought before Colonel Burn, and appearing in a Turkish-style headdress, Burn, being somewhat bemused, asked him in simple Urdu “Are you a Muslim?” to which Ghalib replied simply “Half.” Rather confused, Colonel Burn asked “What does that mean?” and in response Ghalib replied “I drink wine, but I don’t eat pork.”

Despite his position, he was unable to stem the widespread violence and wholesale looting of the city and its once formidable riches.

Colonel Burn made and estimate at this time on the 24th of October 1857 that the loss of property from plunder and destruction by British soldiers was something in the region of 20 million rupees, of which only 1.5 million rupees would be officially recognised by Prize Agents, despite the whole city being considered a prize. Burn himself made official complaint to General N Penny, commander of the Delhi Field Force, that “… several parties under European Commissioned officers have, during the last few days, been searching for plunder within the city… Even the Sabbath brings no rest to either plunderer or plundered.”

Following the assimilation of the East India Company’s Army with British Imperial Forces, Major-General Burn retired, and appears to have spent some time in banking, prior to a return home. During the course of his life he married one Lucy Young Hickey, and had three sons and a daughter. He died at his residence at 3 Inverness Terrace, Bayswater, London, on the 1st of January, 1882, at the age of 74, and was later buried in his family grave at Greyfriars Churchyard, Edinburgh, Scotland.

27 The Rare Indian Mutiny Medal awarded to Gunner Samuel Barnes, Royal Marine Artillery, HMS Shannon, part of Captain W Peel’s ‘Shannon Brigade’, which famously brought a detachment of sailors and heavy guns ashore from his vessel to advance inland to Cawnpore and onwards to the assistance of the beleaguered garrison at Lucknow, one of only 7 such medals known to have been issued to the Royal Marine Artillery, comprising: Indian Mutiny Medal, single clasp, Lucknow (Gunr Saml Barnes, R.M.A. Shannon.); officially impressed. Lightly toned, surface marks and hairlines both sides, otherwise a pleasing very fine. £1,500-1,800

Upon hearing news of the mutiny in India, the British frigate HMS Shannon (51) and corvette HMS Pearl were sent from Hong Kong to Calcutta, arriving on the 6th of August 1857 and helping to secure Fort William. Formed under the initiative of HMS Shannon’s Captain William Peel (VC), the ‘Shannon Brigade’ as it came to be known, was offered to the Governor General, Lord Canning, to head into mainland India to assist wherever necessary, given the situation of open rebellion in the North West Provinces, Rohilcund and Oudh, with the possibility of revolt in the Punjab, a siege underway in Delhi, and the Lucknow Residency considered to be under imminent attack.

Thankfully the ship’s company of the Shannon were ready and well trained gunners, having been brought up to full efficiency under the training of Lt R A F Studdert, Royal Marine Artillery and his RMA gunners. In total, 516 officers and men came ashore, of whom 140 (including 2 officers) belonged to the Royal Marine Light Infantry, with some 20 from the Royal Marine Artillery. This last contingent were formed of 1 Sergeant (John Wade) 1 Corporal (E. Bayley) and only 18 Gunners. The Shannon Brigade brought with them six 68pounders, eight 24-pounders, two brass ship’s guns, and eight rocket-tubes, all brought by steamers up the Ganges to Allahabad to assist the garrison there, arriving on the 2nd of September.

Setting off in two detachments, the second of which included the members Royal Marine Artillery, and alongside a flying column of troops from the 28th and 53rd Foot under Lt Colonel Powell of the 53rd Foot, the force then moved towards Cawnpore, with Peel’s ‘Shannon Brigade’ getting its first taste of action en route against some 4,000 enemy sepoys first at Kudja. Of the Naval Brigade, two officers, including Lt Stirling, R.M., were wounded, and two men were killed. Despite their fatigue they arrived at Cawnpore on the 3rd of November. From here, two detachments assisted both in the holding and defence of Cawnpore, and also in the relief of the besieged forces in the Lucknow Residency. The Bombay Times recorded that ‘the Naval Brigade dragged their 24-pounders along with them as if they were toys’ as they approached, and these heavy naval guns were of key importance in the attacks upon the Martiniere, Secunderbagh, Shah Nujeef and Kaisarbagh, helping to breach the outer walls and disperse the considerable attacking sepoys.

Lieutenant Norwell Salmon and Boatswain’s Mate John Harrison of the Shannon Brigade were both awarded the VC for conspicuous gallantry. As Sir Colin Campbell wrote in his despatch of the 18th of November, after the relief of the Residency, he mentioned the action of Captain Peel and his force ‘leading up his heavy guns with extraordinary gallantry to batter the stone walls…an action almost unexampled in war…Captain Peel…behaved very much as if he had been laying the Shannon alongside an enemy’s frigate’.

Seven men of the Royal Marine Artillery were entitled to the Indian Mutiny Medal with Lucknow clasp, however 4 of these medals were returned to the India Office, with one duplicate also issued. As such only 3 medals of this type are believed to be officially extant.

Recipient worthy of further research.

46 An Important Boer War Officer Casualty Group of 4 awarded to Captain Gilbert Macdonald Stewart, 2nd Battalion Lancashire Fusiliers, killed in action at Spion Kop, comprising: Queen’s Sudan Medal, 1896-98 (Lt G.

Group toned, extremely fine, and a highly-desirable officer’s casualty group for Spion Kop. (4) £3,000-4,000

Captain Gilbert McDonald Stewart was born in Windsor, Berkshire, on the 4th of February 1873, the fifth son of Robert Stewart of Port Elizabeth, South Africa, based in Sydenham, London. He educated at Dulwich College, South London, before attending the Royal Military College, Sandhurst. He was commissioned as Second Lieutenant into the 2nd Battalion Lancashire Fusiliers in February 1893, and shot for the Army in 1895, when he was also promoted to Lieutenant. He served during the occupation of Crete and then in the Soudan Campaign in 1898, being present for the Battles of Omdurman and Khartoum. He was promoted to the rank of Captain on the 9th of October 1899 and served in South Africa during the Boer War. After the losses and disappointments of ‘Black Week’ in December 1899 when British losses had continued to rise, the British and Colonial troops hoped to make a concerted effort to outmanoeuvre the Boer forces which had held Ladysmith, Mafeking and Kimberley besieged. Attempting to make a two-pronged encirclement of Boer forces on the Tugela River, thus clearing the way to Ladysmith, the forces under General Sir Redvers Buller VC proceeded to the easterly flank, and those under General Sir Charles Warren took the westerly flank towards the crossing point at Trikhardt‘s Drift. Met by Boer forces on the facing hill crest of Thabanyama, a bombardment and subsequent infantry attack by Warren’s forces was easily repulsed by the entrenched Boer troops, and Warren looked toward taking the great hill of Spion Kop to allow him to turn the Boer flank. He ordered the hill to be taken on the night of the 23rd, where a lightly-equipped force of 1700 men led by Major General Woodgate, comprising eight companies of the 2nd Battalion Lancashire Fusiliers, six of the 2nd Royal Lancasters, two of the 1st South Lancashires, one-hundred and eighty men of Thorneycroft’s Mounted Infantry, and half a company of Sappers, slowly climbed the hill and cleared a Boer piquet which was taken completely by surprise, and they began with difficulty to entrench their rocky position.

Once daylight had broken on the morning of the 24th, their mistake was realised, as the British & Colonial troops discovered to their cost that they had only cleared the first part of Spion Kop, and that a larger Boer force remained at its true summit, and furthermore, Boer troops and artillery commanded three further opposing hills, bearing down on their position. Boer snipers and shelling wrought havoc on the British troops below, and fearing for their own reasons that the British would take and hold this tactical position, and charge was launched by some 300 burghers of the Pretoria Commando, with their Mausers and hunting knives, where brutal hand to hand fighting ensued, resulting in an exhausted stand off for both sides, as the shelling resumed upon the British. Major-General Woodgate was killed by shrapnel, and soon after other senior officers including Colonel Blomfield of the Lancashire Fusiliers, fell in quick succession, the latter severely wounded. Colonel Malby Crofton of the Royal Lancasters, who was totally overwhelmed by finding himself in command, managed to semaphore for help from the hill, pleading: “Reinforce at once or all is lost. General dead.” Without being able to provide any meaningful leadership, Warren sent runners to appoint Thorneycroft to command, who led a counterattack and personally prevented the surrender of wavering British troops for just long enough for reinforcements to arrive from Coke’s Brigade.

Acting as a courier between Spion Kop and Buller’s Headquarters that day, a young Lieutenant and journalist Winston Churchill reported of the scene: “Corpses lay here and there. Many of the wounds were of a horrible nature. The splinters and fragments of the shells had torn and mutilated them. The shallow trenches were choked with dead and wounded.” By nightfall of the 24th, roughly 24 hours into the battle, Thorneycroft ordered his remaining exhausted, unfed and thirsty troops to retreat to the foot of the hill, leaving the equally weary remaining Boer troops in control of the hill.

In the course of the day’s fighting the British suffered 243 killed and around 1,250 wounded or missing. Boer losses were also heavy by proportion, with 68 killed and 267 wounded or missing. The 2nd Battalion Lancashire Fusiliers of Woodgate’s Brigade suffered heaviest of all, with eight officers amongst the number killed or wounded, and it was here at Spion Kop that Captain Gilbert McDonald Stewart was killed in action, this believed his first experience under enemy fire, and his name is inscribed on a memorial tablet outside of the New Memorial Library at Dulwich College, as well as his name and likeness being used on cigarette cards of the ‘South African Series’.

Sold within frame including a silver award plaque, believed to be for shooting, date 1895, a quantity of original paper cuttings and letters written to his brother 1894-8, and some relevant research.

69 An interesting Great War LSGC group of 3 awarded to Private John Alldis, Royal Marine Light Infantry, sold with his private diary and photographic archive relating to the Anglo-French punitive expedition sent to the New Hebrides Islands (now Vanuatu), where he was present as part of the landing party sent ashore to Malakula from HMS Pegasus in September 1905, comprising: British War and Victory Medals, 1914-1919 (CH.8860 Pte. J. Alldis. R.M.L.I.), Royal Navy Long Service and Good Conduct Medal, GVR (CH/8860. John Addis [sic], Private R.M.L.I.); medals officially impressed, group loose. Old cabinet tone, good extremely fine. (3) £300-400

John Alldis was born on the 19th of September 1877 in Lambeth, London, and enlisted for service with the Royal Marines Light Infantry in London on the 11th of February 1896, having previously worked as a Labourer.

The Anglo-French expedition of 1905 was sent in response to several murders connected with the ketch Marsallaise.

HMS Pegasus under Commander H D’ Oyly met with the French man of war Meuthe at Noumea, then proceeding to ‘Mallicola’ (now spelled Malekula). Upon arrival a party of 110 Marines was marched 11-miles inland to the forest stronghold of Billias to demand the handing over of the offending culprits by the local chiefs. When the local chiefs were unable to produce the accused, contemporary newspaper reports suggest that the Anglo-French force exchanged volleys with the enemy resistance (this contested in Private Alldis’ diary - ‘we met no resistance’), and soon after destroyed the settlement and its plantations in retribution, before marching back a further 11 miles in the same day.

During WWI Private Alldis served aboard HMS Bonaventure, which served as a Sea-Going Submarine Depot for the 2nd Submarine Flotilla throughout the war, based upon the River Tyne (largely at Jarrow), where she remained for the duration. After the war, he enrolled in the Royal Fleet Reserve, before ultimately retiring to pension on the 19th of September, 1928, having reached the age of 50, after 32 years of service. He appears to have latterly resided at 35 Grove Place, Acton.

Sold with his personal diary and photo album, four portrait photographs of the recipient, a selection of ephemera in cluding dog tag, cap badges, shoulder titles etc., original service papers, certificate of discharge, an edition of the Globe and Laurel from 1923, and a printed extract taken from ‘Fiji and Its Possibilities’ by B Grimshaw, concerning Malekula.

86 An Emotive Pair of Framed Memorial Plaques and Portraits awarded to two brothers: Second-Lieutenant CliveWilliam Murray-Menzies, 1st Bn Royal Highlanders (Black Watch) killed in action on the 25th of January 1915 at Givenchy; and Captain Duncan Innes MurrayMenzies MC, 1st Bn Royal Highlanders (Black Watch), killed in action near ‘Hill 35’on the 22nd of August 1917 during the Third Battle of Ypres, whilst attached to ‘C’ Battalion ofThe RoyalTank Corps, comprising: Memorial Plaques (2), 1914-19 (Duncan Innes Murray-Menzies) and (Clive William Murray-Menzies), both in regimental copper frames, complete with two contemporary regimental steel-framed portraits of the two recipients, made from copies of the originals portraits painted by John Saint-Helier Lander, which are located in the Black Watch Museum, Perth. Frames a little tarnished, one frame with minor metal damage to lower corner, otherwise very fine and scarce. (4) £250-300

The above brothers, the sons of Major W. L. Murray-Menzies, of Stratton Wold, near Cirencester, Gloucestershire, both studied at Wellington College prior to receiving their first commissions into the Black Watch as Gentlemen Cadets, passing out from the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, in August and December 1914 respectively.

Second-Lieutenant Clive William Murray-Menzies was killed in action on the 25th of January at Givenchy whilst serving in the 1st Battalion, Royal Highlanders (Black Watch). After a strong German attack was met and held by the Scots Guards and Coldstream Guards, forces from the 1st Battalion Black Watch and 1st Cameron Highlanders were sent in to counter-attack, suffering heavy casualties as they attacked through knee-deep mud. It is believed that Second-Lieutenant Clive William Murray-Menzies was killed during this counter-attack, where two companies of the Black Watch were practically destroyed. As a casualty with no known grave, his name is commemorated on the Le Touret Memorial.

Acting Captain Duncan Innes Murray-Menzies MC initially served with the 1st Battalion Royal Highlanders (Black Watch) and awarded the Military Cross, being Gazetted for his MC in the London Gazette 04.06.1917. He was later attached to ‘C’ Battalion Tank Corps, where he served as Section Commander for ‘5 Section’. War Diaries for ‘C’ Battalion show that on the day of his death (the 22 of August 1917), ‘C’ Company; under the command of Major E J Carter, was detailed to assist in an infantry operation near ‘Iberian Farm’ and ‘Hill 35’, prior to which it was necessary to ford the Steenbeke River. The diary records “ it was only by the most superhuman efforts of the Section Commander, Lt. Murray-Menzies…that these tanks were moved across the River”. Once in action, it appears that Captain Murray-Menzies’ tank section was very much in the thick of it, and records show that tank C38 had silenced snipers in the area around the farm, and assisted the approach of supporting infantry, firing some 8000 LG rounds in the process prior to it becoming ‘ditched’. It was at this point that Captain Duncan Murray Menzies and Gunner Cushion were shot and killed trying to ‘unditch it’ and bring it back into action, at roughly 10am that morning. He died at the age of twenty and is commemorated at Tyne Cot Cemetery.

KCMG London Gazette 10.06.1954 - ‘For public services rendered in connection with the setting up of the Federation of Rhodesia & Nyasaland.

CMG London Gazette 01.01.1952 OBE London Gazette 01.01.1944 Edgar Cuthbert Fremantle Whitehead was born on the 8th of February, 1905, at the British Embassy in Berlin, the third son of the diplomat Sir James Beethom Whitehead KCMG. He attended Shrewsbury School and University College, Oxford, and was too young to serve in the Great War. Having suffered from a weak constitution, he moved to Southern Rhodesia in 1928 as a result of these health concerns, where he became involved with the local farming unions. He joined the Southern Rhodesia legislative assembly in 1939, but was this time called up to serve in WWII, being initially commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the Royal Army Service Corps on the 10th of May 1940. He later served as an Air Despatcher in West Africa, and very soon progressed in his career, eventually reaching the rank of Lieutenant Colonel (temp) by the end of the war.

Following WWII, he served as Acting High Commissioner for Southern Rhodesia in London in 1945-6, before returning to Southern Rhodesia to take up the post of Minister of Finance and Posts & Telegraphs. He was posted to Washington DC to serve as Minister for Rhodesia & Nyasaland Affairs between 1957 and 1958, before again returning to Salisbury in 1958, having been selected as the compromise candidate for the United Federal Party leadership. In the subsequent elections he was successful, and became Prime Minister, and Minister for Native Affairs. He spent five years in office, during which time in spite of much economic growth, the Central African Federation began to fall apart. He played a central role in the negotiation of the 1961 Constitution, which increased Parliamentary representation for the local population and helped to introduce progressive laws against racial discrimination. Despite his efforts, he lost much of his support and failed in his bid to remain Prime Minister in 1962 against Winston Field’s Rhodesian Front.

He remained Leader of the Opposition until 1964, and soon after retired back to the United Kingdom, living with his sister in Hampshire.

He died on the 23rd of September, 1971, at Newbury in Berkshire. His name was commemorated in Harare Cathedral cloisters, and his own unpublished autobiography remains in the Rhodes House Library, Oxford.

Berkshire was well placed because of the influence and enthusiasm of Colonel Lloyd Lindsay VC, who had gained his Victoria Cross in the Crimean War. By 1860 the rules had been laid down and the units formed. The first Volunteer review took place in Hyde Park in June 1860 in the presence of Queen Victoria. In 1861 there were companies in Reading, Windsor (2), Newbury, Abingdon, Faringdon, Wantage, Wallingford, Windsor Great Park, Winkfield, Sandhurst and Woodside.

In May 1863 the uniform was defiantly laid down to consist of a dark grey tunic and cap, trimmed with cord of the regimental colour.

An Inverness-pattern cloak, black gaiters and black haversack completed the simple outfit which was all that could be afforded when the uniform had to be paid for by the corps itself, without government financial aid. In 1873 the Administrative Battalion became the 1st Berkshire Volunteer Corps, consisting of 13 companies Reading (A, B & C Companies); Windsor (D); Newbury (E); Abingdon (F); Maidenhead (G); Sandhurst (H); Faringdon (I); Wantage (K); Winkfield(L); Wallingford (M); Windsor Great Park (N) In 1881 after the Cardwell reforms the battalion became the 1st Volunteer Battalion, Princess Charlotte of Wales’s (Berkshire) Regiment, thus cementing a link with the regular units of the Regiment. During the Boer War the Battalion supplied a company to the 2nd Battalion in South Africa.

In 1908 the Volunteers disappeared under that title as a result of the Haldane reforms becoming the 4th Battalion (Princess Charlotte of Wales’s) Royal Berkshire Regiment. On the outbreak of the First World War the Battalion expanded and formed two front line battalions, the 1st/4th and the 2nd/4th. These were supported by a 3rd/4th. The 1st/4th went to the Western Front in early 1915 fighting in many major battles. In 1917 they were transferred to the Italian front where they continued fighting until the Armistice.

The 2nd/4th went to France in early 1916 taking part in all the major engagements that followed. They remained in this theatre until the end of the war. After the war both battalions were disbanded and a new 4th Battalion reformed. Between the wars the 4th Battalion maintained its strength attending annual camps each year. £150-200

Robe Maker.

16 Maddox Street. London’, ‘Sir William Pringle’ Military: Entered the Army as Cornet, 16th Light Dragoons, 1792; Lieutenant, 1793; Captain, 1794; Major, 111th Foot, 1794; LieutenantColonel, 1799; Colonel, 1809; Major-General, 1812; Colonel, 64th Foot, 1816, the 56th Foot, 1838; Lieutenant-General, 1825.Commanded a brigade in the Peninsula War at Salamanca, Pyrenees, Orthes, and Nivelle; severely wounded in 1814.

Honours: Received thanks from the House of Commons, 1813 and 1814.

Honours: Grand Knight Cross of the Order of the Bath, 1834.

Pringle, who had married William Pitt’s niece in 1806, served with distinction in the Peninsula and survived being shot through the body at Orthes in 1814. Nevertheless, Charles William Wynn, president of the board of control, when reviewing potential candidates for the Indian command in 1825, wrote that he ‘appears a very dull man, and never has been in any situation which enabled him to exhibit the sort of ability which is required’.

In the Commons, where he sat undisturbed for Cornish boroughs controlled by his wife’s uncles, the 1st and 2nd earls of St. Germans, he was an occasional attender who continued to give silent support to Lord Liverpool’s ministry. He divided against economies in revenue collection, 4 July 1820. He voted in defence of ministers’ conduct towards Queen Caroline, 6 Feb. 1821. He divided for Catholic relief, 28 Feb. He voted against repeal of the additional malt duty, 3 Apr., and Hume’s economy and retrenchment motion, 27 June 1821. He divided against more extensive tax reductions, 11, 21 Feb., and abolition of one of the joint-postmasterships, 13 Mar. 1822. He voted in defence of the lord advocate’s conduct towards the Scottish press, 25 June 1822. He divided against repeal of the Foreign Enlistment Act, 16 Apr., and inquiry into the prosecution of the Dublin Orange rioters, 22 Apr. 1823.

He voted for the Irish insurrection bill, 14 June 1824. The previous month he had obtained official permission to ‘pass through the Horse Guards, on horseback occasionally’, on his way to the Commons from his house just north of Oxford Street. He divided for Catholic relief, 1 Mar., 21 Apr. (paired), 10 May 1825. On 15 Apr. he was one of three Members who confirmed that they had not heard the question put for the division on the Southwark paving bill, and whose names were subsequently added to the favourable minority. He voted for the financial provision for the Duke of Cumberland, 30 May, 10 June 1825. It was said of him at this time that he ‘attended occasionally and voted with ministers’.

Pringle died suddenly of a ‘disease of the heart’ in December 1840. He left an inherited estate in county Armagh to his only son John Henry, and the remainder of his property to his wife, noting that ‘almost all I am possessed of I have through her’; his personalty was sworn under £14,000. His widow, who died in 1842, distributed £41,000 among their four daughters and left her inheritance of £5,000 from the 1st earl of St. Germans to John Henry; her personalty was sworn under £14,000 and the residue calculated for duty at £2,309. £400-600

227

My dear Paul, All my books and papers are in my Hill street house, which being let, I cannot have access to. I have written a great deal about the tunnel but have nothing by me that I have written.

At present we have the great blessing of being an island, a position that saves from the cost and loss of having an enormous Army like all the continental nations. A tunnel would make us continental people.

The great danger would be that the French by a sudden disembarkation of say ten or twenty thousand men could obtain possession of our end of the tunnel by a ‘coup de main’! They could then at their leisure, pour hundreds of thousands of troops into England through the tunnel, which would then be entirely in their hands.

In fact the day the tunnel were made, one should have to expend enormous sums on fortifying our end of it, and we should require a great army always in England to counter balance the ever present risks.

228

Everyone acknowledges it would entail risk, why accept the small increased risk? To please old ladies who suffer from sea-sickness?

We are French enough already and don’t want to become any more closely allied to that most detestable nation.

Is this of any use to you?

Your fondly attached friend, Garnet £300-400

242 [India] [East India Company] - Robert Clive, 1st Baron Clive, KB MP FRS (25 September 1725 - 22 November 1774) - A Letter in Clive’s Hand from (Claremont) Esher Dated 17th June 1772 ‘Sir - I had yesterday a visit from Mrs Forde who assures me that she is in very distressed circumstances as she is the widow of Colonel Forde, to who’s services the Company are so much indebted, and who lost his life in their service.........., 21cm x 18cm, mounted framed and glazed In 1769, Robert Clive acquired the house and gardens at Claremont near Esher and commissioned Lancelot “Capability” Brown to remodel the garden and rebuild the house.

In 1772 Parliament opened an inquiry into the Company’s practices in India. Clive’s political opponents turned these hearings into attacks, and questioned about some of the large sums of money he had received while in India. Clive pointed out that they were not contrary to accepted company practice, and defended his behaviour by stating “I stand astonished at my own moderation” given opportunities for greater gain. The hearings highlighted the need for reform of the Company, and a vote to censure Clive for his actions failed. Later in 1772, Clive was invested in the Order of the Bath (eight years after the knighthood had been awarded), and was appointed Lord Lieutenant of Shropshire.

Clive continued to be involved in ongoing Parliamentary discussions on company reforms, during which General John Burgoyne, one of Clive’s most vocal enemies, pressed the case in 1773 that some of Clive’s gains were made at the expense of the Company and the government. Clive again made a spirited defence of his actions, and closed his testimony by stating “Take my fortune, but save my honour.” The vote that followed completely exonerated Clive, who was commended for the “great and meritorious service” he rendered to the country. Immediately thereafter Parliament began debating the Regulating Act of 1773, which significantly reformed the East India Company’s practices.

On 22 November 1774 Clive committed suicide, aged forty-nine, at his Berkeley Square home in London. There was no inquest on his death and it was variously alleged he had stabbed himself or cut his throat with a penknife or taken an overdose of opium, while a few newspapers reported his death as due to an apoplectic fit or stroke. One twentieth century biographer, John Watney, concluded: “He did not die from a self-inflicted wound...He died of a heart attack brought on by an overdose of drugs”. Though Clive’s suicide has been linked to his history of depression and to opium addiction, the likely immediate impetus was excruciating pain resulting from illness (he was known to suffer from gallstones) which he had been attempting to abate with opium. He had recently been offered command of British forces in North America which he had turned down. He was buried in St Margaret’s Parish Church at Moreton Say, near his birthplace in Shropshire. £300-400

RMS Medina interior

Medina used on state visit of the King & Queen to India 1911-12 Warings’ (Waring & Gillows) London The RMS Medina was the last of ten ships ordered by the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company of the ‘M’ class, placed with Caird and Company of Greenock, Scotland. She was 550 feet long and 62 feet wide with a depth of 34 feet, and was to carry 670 passengers; 450 in 1st Class and 220 in 2nd Class. She was powered by quadruple-expansion steam engines which produced 1,400 horse power two her twin screws, which moved through the water at a top speed of 19 knots (35 km/h).

During building it was decided that Medina would take King George V and Queen Mary to India for the Delhi Durbar. Medina was, therefore, initially commissioned into the Royal Navy as the Royal Yacht and her crew were mainly naval personnel. Medina was provided with an extra mast, necessary to maintain Royal flag etiquette and furnished with a white hull with bands of royal blue and gold and buff funnels. Various large rooms intended for public use were redecorated as Royal apartments. The Medina left Portsmouth for India in November 1911, returning in February 1912 where she returned to Caird and Co. for refitting. She was then delivered to P&O in June 1912, she had only two years of peacetime service before the Great War broke out, but remained with P&O during the war.

The Medina was torpedoed and sunk by SM UB-31 off Start Point, Devon on 28 April 1917. Today the wreck is upright with a 15 degree list to port.

She is reasonably intact despite salvage of copper and passengers’ baggage from forward holds, her stern is most damaged and she is sinking into the mud of the seabed - the bulkheads are collapsing and her compartments are folding down. £5,000-7,000

Mirzapur According to records Mirzapur was officially established by the British East India Company in 1735, before the establishment of the town the area was dense forest and freely used by various states like Benaras, Sakteshgadh, Vijay Gadh, Naina Gadh, Naugadh, Kantit and Rewa for hunting. The British East India Company had established this area to fulfil the need of a trading centre between central and western India. This time Rewa was a well-established state of central India and was directly connected with Mirzapur by the Great Deccan Road, over time Mirzapur became a famous trading centre of Central India trading mainly cotton and silk.

Many parts of the city were established

by British officers, founded by the most famous officer of British East India Company “Lord Mercurius Wellesley”.

As per some evidence the British construction was initiated from Burrier (Bariya) Ghat. Lord Wellesley had reconstructed the Burrier Ghat as a main entrance in Mirzapur by Ganga, some of the places in Mirzapur was pronounced as per the name of Lord Wellesley, like Wellesleyganj (The first market in Mirzapur), Mukeri Bazar etc.

255 255 [India] - Poona (Pune) - A Leather Bound Photograph Album, Circa 1900, containing approximately forty eight photographic images many by Stewart & Metzker of Poona, various print sizes including large format, including military celebrations.

Pune cultural capital of Maharashtra The Third Anglo-Maratha War broke out between the Marathas and the British in 1817. The Peshwas were defeated at the Battle of Khadki (then spelt Kirkee) on 5 November near Pune and the city was seized by the British. It was placed under the administration of the Bombay Presidency and the British built a large military cantonment to the east of the city.

In 1896, Pune was hit by bubonic plague, by the end of February 1897, the epidemic was raging with a mortality rate twice the norm and half the city’s population fled. A Special Plague Committee was formed under the chairmanship of W.C. Rand, an Indian Civil Services officer, he brought troops to deal with the emergency, although these measures were unpopular, the epidemic was under control by May. On 22 June 1897, during the Diamond Jubilee celebration of the Coronation of Queen Victoria, Rand and his military escort were killed by the Chapekar brothers. A memorial to the Chapekar brothers exists at the spot on Ganeshkhind Road (University Road) between the Reserve Bank and the Agricultural College.

Pune was prominently associated with the struggle for Indian independence . In the period 1875 and 1910, the city was a major centre of agitation and social reforms led by Mahatma Jyotirao Phule, Gopal Krishna Gokhale and Bal Gangadhar Tilak, as well as feminist Tarabai Shinde. They demanded the abolition of caste prejudice, equal rights for women, harmony between the Hindu and Muslim communities, better schools for the poor and complete independence from Britain. Mohandas Gandhi was imprisoned at Yerwada Central Jail several times and placed under house arrest at the Aga Khan Palace in 1942-44, where both his wife and aide Mahadev Desai died. £200-300

Note: The letters cast an interesting light on the book’s genesis, since they record the Queen’s thoughts on seeing the first proofs. The earliest, dated 22nd Feb. 1897 and like the others dictated to a Royal aide, expresses dissatisfaction with the literary style or, rather, lack of one: ‘it does read like the writing of some one unaccustomed to the art’.

It goes on to regret that the book’s appearance in print can not be stopped and the publisher’s are urged to do all they can ‘to prevent the Queen being too unhappy about it’. For the author, the Queen’s librarian, there is muted sympathy: ‘I fear poor Mr Holmes has undertaken something quite beyond his powers’. The end result, however, was clearly regarded as a triumph by its creator, albeit one that had left him a little buised and wearied by the whole experience.On 17th November 1897 he wrote to thank the publisher’s: ‘the unanimous approval with which... [the book] has been received is entirely due to the strict supervision and careful polish you gave to my crude labours. I am glad to say I am now recovered but still find that it takes some time to get back strength’. £150-200

These Conditions of Sale and Business constitute the contract between Dreweatts (the “Auctioneer”) and the seller, on the one hand, and the buyer on the other. By bidding at the auction, you agree to be bound by these terms.

INFORMATION FOR BUYERS 1. Introduction. The following informative notes are intended to assist Buyers, particularly those inexperienced or new to our salerooms. All sales are conducted on our printed Conditions of Sale which are readily available for inspection and normally accompany catalogues. Our staff will be happy to help you if there is anything you do not fully understand.

2. Agency. As auctioneers we usually contract as agents for the seller whose identity, for reasons of confidentiality, is not normally disclosed. Accordingly if you buy your primary contract is with the seller.

3. Estimates. Estimates are designed to help buyers gauge what sort of sum might be involved for the purchase of a particular lot. The lower estimate may represent the reserve price and certainly will not be below it. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT (where chargeable). Estimates are prepared some time before the sale and may be altered by announcement before the sale. They are in no sense definitive.

4. Buyer’s Premium. The Buyer agrees to pay a buyer's premium on the hammer price of each lot purchased. The buyer's premium is 20% (24% including VAT) of the hammer price on each lot up to and including £150,000, plus 12% (14.40% including VAT) for any amount in excess of £150,000.VAT at the prevailing rate of 20% is added to all of these premiums and additional charges as defined below.

5. VAT. (*) indicates that VAT is payable by the purchaser at the standard rate (presently 20%) on the hammer price as well as being an element in the buyer’s premium. This imposition of VAT is likely to be because the seller is registered for VAT within the European Union and is not operating the Dealers Margin Scheme or because VAT is due at 20% on importation into the UK. The double symbol (**) indicates that the lot has been imported from outside the European Union and the present position is that these lots are liable to a reduced rate of VAT (5%) on the gross lot price (i.e. both the hammer price and the buyer’s premium). Lots which appear without either of the above symbols indicate that no VAT is payable on the hammer price. This is because such lots are sold using the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme and it should be noted that the VAT included within the Premium is not recoverable as input tax.

6. Descriptions and Conditions. Condition reports are provided on our website or upon request. The absence of a report does not imply that a lot is without imperfections. The detail in a report will reflect the estimated value of the lot, and large numbers of such requests received shortly before the sale may not receive a response to all lots. Members of staff are not trained restorers or conservators and, particularly for higher value lots, you should obtain an opinion from such a professional. We recommend that you always view a lot in person.

We are, primarily, agents for the seller. We are dependent on information provided by the seller and whilst we may inspect lots and act reasonably in taking a general view about them we are normally unable to carry out a detailed or any examination of lots in order to ascertain their condition in the way in which it would be wise for a buyer to do. Intending buyers have ample opportunity for inspection of goods and, therefore, accept responsibility for inspecting and investigating lots in which they may be interested. Please note carefully the exclusion of liability for the condition of lots contained in the Conditions of Sale. Neither the seller nor we, as the auctioneers, accept any responsibility for their condition. In particular, mechanical objects of any age are not guaranteed to be in working order.

However, in so far as we have examined the goods and make a representation about their condition, we shall be liable for any defect which that examination ought to have revealed to the auctioneer but which would not have been revealed to the buyer had the buyer examined the goods. Additionally, in specified circumstances lots misdescribed because they are ‘deliberate forgeries’ may be returned and repayment made. There is a 3 week time limit. (The expression ‘deliberate forgery’ is defined in our Conditions of Sale).

7. Electrical goods. These are sold as ‘antiques’ only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations by a qualified electrician first.

8. Export of goods. Buyers intending to export goods should ascertain (a) whether an export licence is required and (b) whether there is any specific prohibition on importing goods of that character because, e.g. they may contain prohibited materials such as ivory. Ask us if you need help.

9. Bidding. Bidders may be required to register before the sale commences and lots will be invoiced to the name and address on the registration form. Some form of identification may be required if you are unknown to us. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for telephone bidding.

10. Commission bidding. Commission bids may be left with the auctioneers indicating the maximum amount to be bid excluding buyers’ premium. They will be executed as cheaply as possible having regard to the reserve (if any) and competing bids. If two buyers submit identical commission bids the auctioneers may prefer the first bid received. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for the leaving of commission bids by telephone or fax.

11. Methods of Payment. Any cheques tendered will need to be cleared before removal of the goods is permitted. The following methods of payment are acceptable: Sterling cheque to be drawn on a UK bank and made payable to ‘Bloomsbury Auctions’.

It will be necessary to allow at least five working days for the cheque to clear before collecting your purchases.

Bank transfer. All transfers must state the relevant sale number, lot number and your bid / paddle number. If transferring from a foreign currency, the amount we receive must be the total due in pounds sterling (after currency conversion and the deduction of any bank charges). Our bank details can be found on the reverse of your invoice or in the sale catalogue under ‘Important Notices’.

Debit cards drawn on a UK bank and registered to a UK billing address. There is no additional charge for purchases made with these cards. Debit cards drawn on an overseas bank or deferred debit cards will be subject to a 3% surcharge.

Sterling cash payments of up to £8,000 and debit cards payments can be made at the Cashier’s Office, either during or after the sale.

12. Collection and storage. Please note what the Conditions of Sale state about collection and storage. It is important that goods are paid for and collected promptly. Any delay may involve the buyer in paying storage charges.

13. Droit de suite royalty charges. From 1st January 2012 all UK art market professionals (which includes but is not limited to; auctioneers, dealers, galleries, agents and other intermediaries) are required to collect a royalty payment for all works of art that have been produced by qualifying artists each time a work is re-sold during the artist’s lifetime and for a period up to 70 years following the artists death. This payment is only calculated on qualifying works of art which are sold for a hammer price more than the UK sterling equivalent of EURO 1,000 – the UK sterling equivalent will fluctuate in line with prevailing exchange rates.

It is entirely the responsibility of the buyer to acquaint himself with the precise EURO to UK Sterling exchange rate on the day of the sale in this regard, and the auctioneer accepts no responsibility whatsoever if the qualifying rate is different to the rate indicated.

All items in this catalogue that are marked with δ are potentially qualifying items, and the royalty charge will be applied if the hammer price achieved is more than the UK sterling equivalent of EURO 1,000.The royalty charge will be added to all relevant buyers’ invoices, and must be paid before items can be cleared. All royalty charges are passed on to the Design and Artists Copyright Society (‘DACS’), no handling costs or additional fees with respect to these charges will be retained by the auctioneers.

The royalty charge that will be applied to qualifying items which achieve a hammer price of more than the UK sterling equivalent of EURO 1,000, but less than the UK sterling equivalent of EURO 50,000 is 4%. For qualifying items that sell for more than the UK sterling equivalent of EURO 50,000 a sliding scale of royalty charges will apply – for a complete list of the royalty charges and threshold levels, please see www.dacs.org.uk.

There is no VAT payable on this royalty charge.

TERMS OF CONSIGNMENT FOR SELLERS 1. Interpretation. In these Terms the words ‘you’, ‘yours’, etc. refer to the Seller and if the consignment of goods to us is made by an agent we assume that the Seller has authorised the consignment and that the consignor has the Seller’s authority to contract. Similarly the words ‘we’, ‘us’, etc. refer to the Auctioneers.

2. Warranty. The Seller warrants that possession in the lots can be transferred to the Buyer with good and marketable title, free from any third party right and encumbrances, claims or potential claims. The Seller has provided all information concerning the items ownership, condition and provenance, attribution, authenticity, import or export history and of any concerns expressed by third parties concerning the same.

3. All commissions and fees are subject to VAT at the prevailing rate.

4. Commission is charged to sellers at the following rates:- please enquire at our salerooms.

5. Removal costs. Items for sale must be consigned to the saleroom by any stated deadline and at your expense. We may be able to assist you with this process but any liability incurred to a carrier for haulage charges is solely your responsibility.

6. Loss and damage of goods. (a) Loss and Damage Warranty - Dreweatts is not authorised by the FSA to provide insurance to its clients, and does not do so. However Dreweatts for its own protection, assumes liability for property consigned to it at the lower pre-sale estimate until the hammer falls. To justify accepting liability, Dreweatts makes a charge of 1.5% of the hammer price plus VAT, subject to a minimum charge of £1.50, or if unsold 1.5% of our lower estimate. The liability assumed by Dreweatts shall be limited to the lower presale estimate or the hammer price if the lot is sold. (b) If the owner of the goods consigned instructs us in writing not to take such action, the goods then remain entirely at the owners risk unless and until the property in them passes to the Buyer or they are collected by or on behalf of the owner, and clause 6 (a) is inapplicable.

7. Illustrations.The cost of any illustrations is borne by you. If we consider that the Lot should be illustrated your permission will be asked first. The copyright in respect of such illustrations shall be the property of us, the auctioneers, as is the text of the catalogue.

8. Minimum bids and our discretion. Goods will normally be offered subject to a reserve agreed between us before the sale in accordance with clause 9. We may sell Lots below the reserve provided we account to you for the same sale proceeds as you would have received had the reserve been the hammer price. If you specifically give us a “discretion” we may accept a bid of up to 10% below the formal reserve.

9. Reserves. (a) You are entitled to place prior to the auction a reserve on any lot consigned, being the minimum hammer price at which that lot may be sold. Reserves must be reasonable and we may decline to offer goods which in our opinion would be subject to an unreasonably high reserve (in which case goods carry the storage and loss and damage warranty charges stipulated in these Terms of Consignment). (b) A reserve once set cannot be changed except with our consent. (c) Where a reserve has been placed only we may bid on your behalf and only up to the reserve (if any) and you may in no circumstances bid personally. (d) Reserves are not usually accepted for lots expected to realise below £100 10. Electrical items. These are subject to detailed statutory safety controls. Where such items are accepted for sale you accept responsibility for the cost of testing by external contractors. Goods not certified as safe by an electrician (unless antiques) will not be accepted for sale. They must be removed at your expense on your being notified. We reserve the right to dispose of unsafe goods as refuse, at your expense.

11. Soft furnishings. Soft furnishings. The sale of soft furnishings is strictly regulated by statute law in the interests of fire safety. Goods found to infringe safety regulations will not be offered and must be removed at your expense. We reserve the right to dispose of unsafe goods as refuse, at your expense.

The rights of disposal referred to in clause 10 and 11 are subject to the provisions of The Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977, Schedule 1, a copy of which is available for inspection on request 12. Descriptions. Please assist us with accurate information as to the provenance etc. of goods where this is relevant. There is strict liability for the accuracy of descriptions under modern consumer legislation and in some circumstances responsibility lies with sellers if inaccuracies occur. We will assume that you have approved the catalogue description of your lots unless informed to the contrary. Where we are obliged to return the price to the buyer when the lot is a deliberate forgery under Condition 15 of the Conditions of Sale and we have accounted to you for the proceeds of sale you agree to reimburse us the sale proceeds.

13. Unsold. Unsold. If an item is unsold it may at our discretion be re-offered at a future sale.

Where in our opinion an item is unsaleable you must collect such items from the saleroom promptly on being so informed. Otherwise, storage charges may be incurred. We reserve the right to charge for storage in these circumstances at a reasonable daily rate.

14. Withdrawn and bought in items. These are liable to incur a charge of 15% commission, 1.5 % Loss and Damage Warranty and any other costs incurred including but not limited to illustration and restoration fees all of these charges being subject to VAT on being bought in or withdrawn after being catalogued.

15. Conditions of Sale. You agree that all goods will be sold on our Conditions of Sale. In particular you undertake that you have the right to sell the goods either as owner or agent for the owner. You undertake to compensate us and any buyer or third party for all losses liabilities and expenses incurred in respect of and as a result of any breach of this undertaking. We will also, at our discretion, and as far as practicable, confirm that an item consigned for sale does not appear on the Art Loss register, which is administered by an independent third party.

16. Authority to deduct commission and expenses and retain premium and interest. (a) You authorise us to deduct commission at the stated rate and all expenses incurred

111

for your account from the hammer price and consent to our right to retain beneficially the premium paid by the buyer in accordance with our Conditions of Sale and any interest earned on the sale proceeds until the date of settlement. (b) You authorise us in our discretion to negotiate a sale by private treaty not later than the close of business 48 hours after the day of sale in the case of lots unsold at auction, in which case the same charges will be payable as if such lots had been sold at auction and so far as appropriate these Terms apply.

17. Warehousing. We disclaim all liability for goods delivered to our saleroom without sufficient sale instructions and reserve the right to make minimum warehousing charge of £10 per lot per day. Unsold lots are subject to the same charges if you do not remove them within a reasonable time of notification. If not removed within three weeks we reserve the right to sell them and defray charges from any net proceeds of sale or at your expense to consign them to the local authority for disposal.

18. Settlement. After sale settlement of the net sum due to you normally takes place within 28 days of the sale (by crossed cheque to the seller) unless the buyer has not paid for the goods. In this case no settlement will then be made but we will take your instructions in the light of our Conditions of Sale. You authorise any sums owed by you to us on other transactions to be deducted from the sale proceeds. You must note the liability to reimburse the proceeds of sale to us as under the circumstances provided for in Condition 12 above. You should therefore bear this potential liability in mind before parting with the proceeds of sale until the expiry of 28 days from the date of sale.

CONDITIONS OF SALE Bloomsbury Auctions carries on business with bidders, buyers and all those present in the auction room prior to or in connection with a sale on the following General Conditions and on such other terms, conditions and notices as may be referred to herein.

1.

(h) The singular includes the plural and vice versa as appropriate.

2. Bidding procedures and the Buyer (a) Bidders are required to register their particulars before bidding and to satisfy any security arrangements before entering the auction room to view or bid; (b) the maker of the highest bid accepted by the auctioneer conducting the sale shall be the buyer at the hammer price and any dispute about a bid shall be settled at the auctioneer’s absolute discretion by reoffering the Lot during the course of the auction or otherwise. The auctioneer shall act reasonably in exercising this discretion. (c) Bidders shall be deemed to act as principals.

(2) Our right to bid on behalf of the seller is expressly reserved up to the amount of any reserve and the right to refuse any bid is also reserved.

4. The purchase price together with a premium thereon of 24% which shall include VAT on the premium at the rate imposed by law. The buyer will also be liable for any royalties payable under Droit de Suite as set out under Information for Buyers.

5. Value Added Tax Value Added Tax on the hammer price is imposed by law on all items affixed with an asterisk or double asterisk. Value Added Tax is charged at the appropriate rate prevailing by law at the date of sale and is payable by buyers of relevant Lots. (Please refer to “Information for Buyers” for a brief explanation of the VAT position).

6. Payment (1) Immediately a Lot is sold you will: (a) give to us, if requested, proof of identity, and (b) pay to us the total amount due or in such other way as is agreed by us.

(2) Any payments by you to us may be applied by us towards any sums owing from you to us on any account whatever without regard to any directions of you or your agent, whether express or implied.

(3) Buyers who utilise the services of ATG Live Auctions or any other live internet services are hereby informed that the payment method details that are provided to ATG Live Auctions or any other live internet services as part of the process of registration will, in the absence of compliance with paragraph (1) of this clause, be utilised by us to settle any amounts owing by such buyers to us.

(2) You shall at your own risk and expense take away any lots that you have purchased and paid for not later than 3 working days following the day of the auction or upon the clearance of any cheque used for payment after which you shall be responsible for any removal, storage and insurance charges.

(3) No purchase can be claimed or removed until it has been paid for.

(4) Bloomsbury Auctions can accommodate packing and shipping for certain items. For lots they are unable to provide this service for, successful buyers must make these arrangements independently, though the saleroom may be able to suggest specialist shipping companies who can advise buyers, this advice is not a recommendation and the saleroom is not liable for any aspect of the packaging and shipping process. Please note that the cost of packaging and shipping depends on the size/weight of the item(s) purchased, insurance requirements, and the shipping destination, not on the value of the item(s) purchased. Please note that any items not collected within one week of the sale date may be automatically removed to commercial storage and subject to a storage charge.

112

8. Remedies for non-payment or failure to collect purchases (1) If any Lot is not paid for in full and taken away in accordance with these Conditions or if there is any other breach of these Conditions, we, as agent for the seller and on our own behalf, shall at our absolute discretion and without prejudice to any other rights we may have, be entitled to exercise one or more of the following rights and remedies: (a) to proceed against you for damages for breach of contract; (b) to rescind the sale of that Lot and/or any other Lots sold by us to you; (c) to resell the Lot (by auction or private treaty) in which case you shall be responsible for any resulting deficiency in the total amount due (after crediting any part payment and adding any resale costs). Any surplus so arising shall belong to the seller; (d) to remove, store and insure the Lot at your expense and, in the case of storage, either at our premises or elsewhere; (e) to charge interest at a rate not exceeding 1.5% per month on the total amount due to the extent it remains unpaid for more than 3 working days after the sale; (f) to retain that or any other Lot sold to you until you pay the total amount due; (g) to reject or ignore bids from you or your agent at future auctions or to impose conditions before any such bids shall be accepted; (h) to apply any proceeds of sale of other Lots due or in future becoming due to you towards the settlement of the total amount due and to exercise a lien (that is a right to retain possession of) any of your property in our possession for any purpose until the debt due is satisfied.

(2) We shall, as agent for the seller and on our own behalf pursue these rights and remedies only so far as is reasonable to make appropriate recovery in respect of breach of these conditions 9. Third party liability All members of the public on our premises are there at their own risk and must note the layout of the accommodation and security arrangements. Accordingly neither the auctioneer nor our employees or agents shall incur liability for death or personal injury (except as required by law by reason of our negligence) or similarly for the safety of the property of persons visiting prior to or at a sale.

10. Commission bids Whilst prospective buyers are strongly advised to attend the auction and are always responsible for any decision to bid for a particular Lot and shall be assumed to have carefully inspected and satisfied themselves as to its condition we will if so instructed clearly and in writing execute bids on their behalf. Neither the auctioneer nor our employees or agents shall be responsible for any failure to do so save where such failure is unreasonable.

Where two or more commission bids at the same level are recorded we reserve the right in our absolute discretion to prefer the first bid so made.

11. Warranty of title and availability The seller warrants to the auctioneer and you that the seller is the true owner of the property consigned or is properly authorised by the true owner to consign it for sale and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims.

12. Agency The auctioneer normally acts as agent only and disclaims any responsibility for default by sellers or buyers.

13. Terms of sale The seller acknowledges that Lots are sold subject to the stipulations of these Conditions in their entirety and on the Terms of Consignment as notified to the consignor at the time of the entry of the Lot. 14. Descriptions and condition (1) Whilst we seek to describe lots accurately, it may be impractical for us to carry out exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Prospective buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description applied to a lot. Prospective buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the auctioneer nor our employees or agents nor the seller accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and all conditions and warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of lots, express, implied or statutory, are hereby excluded. This Condition is subject to the next following Condition concerning deliberate forgeries and applies save as provided for in paragraph 6 “information to buyers”.

(2) Private treaty sales made under these Conditions are deemed to be sales by auction for purposes of consumer legislation.

15. Forgeries Notwithstanding the preceding Condition, any Lot which proves to be a deliberate forgery (as defined) may be returned to us by you within 21 days of the auction provided it is in the same condition as when bought, and is accompanied by particulars identifying it from the relevant catalogue description and a written statement of defects. If we are satisfied from the evidence presented that the Lot is a deliberate forgery we shall refund the money paid by you for the Lot including any buyer’s premium provided that (1) if the catalogue description reflected the accepted view of scholars and experts as at the date of sale or (2) you personally are not able to transfer a good and marketable title to us, you shall have no rights under this condition.

The right of return provided by this Condition is additional to any right or remedy provided by law or by these Conditions of Sale.

General 16. We shall have the right at our discretion, to refuse admission to our premises or attendance at our auctions by any person.

17. (1) Any right to compensation for losses liabilities and expenses incurred in respect of and as a result of any breach of these Conditions and any exclusions provided by them shall be available to the seller and/or the auctioneer as appropriate.

(2). Such rights and exclusions shall extend to and be deemed to be for the benefit of employees and agents of the seller and/or the auctioneer who may themselves enforce them.

18. Any notice to any buyer, seller, bidder or viewer may be given by first class mail, email or Swiftmail in which case it shall be deemed to have been received by the addressee 48 hours after posting.

19. Special terms may be used in catalogue descriptions of particular classes of items in which case the descriptions must be interpreted in accordance with any glossary appearing at the commencement of the catalogue.

20. Any indulgence extended to bidders, buyers or sellers by us notwithstanding the strict terms of these Conditions or of the Terms of Consignment shall affect the position at the relevant time only and in respect of that particular concession only; in all other respects these Conditions shall be construed as having full force and effect.

21. English law applies to the interpretation of these Conditions.
