Bywell Castle ploughed into the Princess Alice and she was sliced in half; it took her only four minutes to sink to the bottom of the river. The stretch of water where the steamer sank was one of the most polluted in the country, and consequently, attempts at recovery of the living (only about 100) and the dead, as well as identification of the latter, were severely hampered.

This was a presentation piece given to Fleet Paymaster H. de. C Ward by Vice-Admiral Caillard, Commander-in-Chief of the French Escadre du Nord as a souvenir of the visit of the French Fleet and as a slight acknowledgment of services rendered in connection herewith. Henry de Courcy Ward (1862-1914) born at Kingsdown, Co. Dublin, educated at Vickerys, Southsea. Joined the Royal Navy in 1896 and Fleet Paymaster in 1903. In 1913 he was appointed to the armoured cruiser H.M.S. Cressy and was serving in this ship when on 20 September 1914 the ship was torpedoed and sunk by the German submarine, U9. A survivor said of him, ‘Ward managed to reach a life-buoy, which was supporting the Doctor and Chaplain. When he found he could hold on no longer without taxing the strength of the others, he slipped off, telling the others to save themselves, and sank with a cheery good-bye to us all.’ The Chaplain wrote, The courage of Ward, the calmness with which he faced death was typical of the bravery of the rest.’

A Captain of the R.M.L.I. stated, ‘I hope someone has told his wife what a fine thing he did. Ward passed me swimming hard. He was splendid, letting go a life-buoy which he had hold of, as our Chaplain, who could not swim, was on it and so was the Doctor who was looking after him. He apparently thought they would get on better without him. He is a great loss, he kept things going in a wonderful way.’ (See Dix, Noonan and Webb, Sale 20th September 2002, lot 645).

LIEUTENANT ERNEST JOHN LAINCHBURY, ROYAL FLYING CORPS (1897-1975) The following nineteen lots part comprising the former property from the estate of the late Ernest John Lainchbury: a pilot in the Royal Flying Corps 1917-1918 and RAF 1918-1920.

Born in 1897, Ernest John Lainchbury applied to join the Royal Flying Corps, and following interviews and medical examination was accepted for pilot-training as a Cadet in April 1917. Commencing induction in Oxford and at Hursley Camp near Winchester; he was given dual instruction on Avro 504 Trainer and Airco DH6 aeroplanes, and later transferred to Wyton near Huntingdon for advanced training on two-seat and single-seat fighter machines including Sopwith “Pup” and “Camel” types, gaining his coveted pilot’s “Wings” in April 1918. Within a very close time-frame, due to the shortage of pilot’s on the Western Front, he was posted to Belleville near Doullens in May 1918, where less than a week later after just a few patrols over enemy lines he suffered an accident on take-off crashing his Sopwith Camel heavily: in his own words “...spun into the ground from 50 feet…”. He was invalided back to England to recover, but by the time he was considered fit enough to resume duties, the war had ended. He was de-mobilised in 1919 by which time he was a commissioned officer in the Royal Air Force, finally being “pensioned-off” in 1921.

Upon the outbreak of hostilities again in 1939, he volunteered for the Home Defence force and was re-commissioned as Lieutenant in the Home Guard in joint charge of the Chipping Norton Brigade.

Much insight is given into his flying training and daily life RFC service activities in his letters home to his family (primarily those to his grandfather which survive) and provide a lively and vivid account of what life as a Pilot involved during the latter part of the war.

He died in 1975, a lucky survivor of the Great War and active participant in the Second World War 1939-45.

Apart from his flying career he lived all his life in Kingham, where his family had maintained strong affiliation for several generations.

Roe dissolved an earlier partnership with J.A. Prestwich. He refined and developed the initial Roe Triplane design for a smaller version which began a production-run of several variants of his earlier design. After being evicted from Brooklands, where Roe had worked on his first aircraft, in July 1908 he started work on the design of a triplane: a patent was filed for this design in January 1909, and work was started on the construction of an aircraft to this design in the stable adjoining the house of his brother, Dr. Spencer Verdon Roe, in Putney. It was then transported to the new flying ground that Roe had found on Walthamstow Marshes, where he rented two railway arches under the LNER railway besides the river Lea. Subsequently Parrot became the designer responsible for the famous Avro 504 machine of 1913, which with many variants was built in large numbers and became the standard trainer for the RFC and RAF during and after WWI.

Squadron, Australian Flying Corps, the squadron sailed to Egypt on 5 January 1916 but McNamara went on to England where he was attached to No.42 Squadron, Royal Flying Corps, before returning to Egypt as an instructor with No.22 Squadron, R.F.C. and then No.1. Squadron, A.F.C. On 20 March 1917, McNamara, flying a Martinsyde was one of four No. 1 Squadron pilots taking part in a raid against a Turkish Railway junction near Gaza. Owing to a shortage of bombs, each aircraft was fitted with six specially modified howitzer shells, NcNamara had successfully dropped three shells when the fourth exploded prematurely, badly wounding him in the leg. Having turned to head back to base he spotted Captain David Rutherford on the ground beside his crashlanded B.E.2. Allied troop had been hacked to death by enemy troops in similar situations and McNamara could see Turkish cavalry fast approaching. Despite the gash in his leg he landed the aircraft near Rutherford in an attempt to rescue him, but as there was no spare seat in the Martinsyde, Rutherford jumped onto McNamara’s wing and held the struts. The Aircraft crashed while attempting to take off, and the two men set fire to the Martinsyde and returned to Rutherford’s aircraft. Rutherford repaired the engine whilst McNamara used his revolver against the attacking Cavalry before the two of them managed to take off, McNamara flew in extreme pain 70 miles back to El Arish, and was awarded the Victoria Cross which was gazetted on 8 June 1917.

95

Major Stone. I knew him before. The Germans got on our flank and enfiladed us. It was then I got wounded in the thigh. Knowing I was useless, I began to crawl away. As the Germans surrounded and got into the trenches they must have been all killed or taken prisoners. The last I heard was Major Stone saying “come boys let us make a fight of it”. This was on Zonnebeck and Menin Road’. Another typed copy statement from 20th April 1915 gives Captain Schlaguit’s account: ‘On March 3rd, 1915, 10.30 pm, Captain Turner of the 2nd Cheshire Regiment who had command of a patrol, was shot by our soldiers.

We have buried with all military honours. Please inform his Regiment.

Ward, 8th May 1915 to Guy’s sister [Ellen Mabel Gordon, nee Turner, wife of James Gordon Dugdale]: ‘I hope you will excuse the liberty I am taking in writing to you, but I do so in fulfilment of a promise I made to your brother (Capt. Turner). I will explain. I am a Subaltern in his Coy. You no doubt have heard him speak of me he asked me if I would write to you in the event of anything happening to him. I will try to explain the circumstances under which he became “missing”. I was in command of a forward trench about 90 yards from the German trenches, and Captain Turner being in command of the Coy was sent forward with two picked men at dusk (or dark) to examine a Sap (or working) about 12 or 15 yards in front of the German trench. The night was very dark when he started and he shook hands with me by wishing him luck and I myself and three good men were posted on the corner of the trench to observe as far as possible his passage. We would not see more than about 20 yards. The Captain and his men crawled forward on their stomachs. From this point no more was seen of the Captain or his party. The German trench did not bring any fire to bear on this place so it can safely be assumed that he got into the German trench in the dark and was taken prisoner ‘.

Conditions of Sale and Business 1. The Seller warrants to the Auctioneer and the buyer that he is the true owner or is properly authorised to sell the property by the true owner and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims.

7. Any representation or statement by the Auctioneer in any catalogue, brochure or advertisement of forthcoming sales as to authorship, attribution, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price is a statement of opinion only. Every person interested should exercise and rely on his own judgement as to such matters and neither the Auctioneer nor his servants or agents are responsible for the correctness of such opinions. No warranty whatsoever is given by the Auctioneer or the seller in respect of any lot and any express or implied warranties are hereby excluded.

2. (a) The highest bidder to be the buyer. If during the auction the Auctioneer considers that a dispute has arisen he has absolute authority to settle it or re-offer the lot. The Auctioneer may at his sole discretion determine the advance of bidding or refuse a bid, divide any lot, combine any two or more lots or withdraw any lot without prior notice. (b) Where goods are bought at auction by a buyer who has entered into an agreement with another or others that the other or others (or some of them) shall abstain from bidding for the goods and the buyer or other party or one of the other parties is a dealer (as defined in the Auction Biddings Agreement Act 1927) the buyer warrants that the goods are bought bona fide on joint account.

8. (a) Notwithstanding any other terms of these conditions, if within fourteen days of the sale the Auctioneer has received from the buyer of any lot notice in writing that in his view the lot is a deliberate forgery and within fourteen days after such notification the buyer returns the same to the Auctioneer in the same condition as at the time of the sale and satisfies the Auctioneer that considered in the light of the entry in the catalogue the lot is a deliberate forgery then the sale of the lot will be rescinded and the purchase price of the same refunded. "A deliberate forgery" means a lot made with intention to deceive. (b) A buyer's claim under this condition shall be limited to any amount paid to the Auctioneer for the lot and for the purpose of this condition the buyer shall be the person to whom the original invoice was made out by the Auctioneer.

3. The buyer shall pay the price at which a lot is knocked down by the Auctioneer to the buyer (“the hammer price”) together with a premium of 19.5% of the hammer price. Where the lot is marked by an asterisk the premium will be subject to VAT at 23.40% which under the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme will form part of the buyer’s premium on our invoice and will not be separately identified (the premium added to the hammer price will hereafter collectively be referred to as “the total sum due”). By making any bid the buyer acknowledges that his attention has been drawn to the fact that on the sale of any lot the Auctioneer will receive from the seller commission at its usual rates in addition to the said premium of 19.5% and assents to the Auctioneer receiving the said commission.

9. Lots may be removed during the sale after full settlement in accordance with 4(d) hereof.

10. All goods delivered to the Auctioneer's premises will be deemed to be delivered for sale by auction unless otherwise stated in writing and will be catalogued and sold at the Auctioneer's discretion and accepted by the Auctioneer subject to all these conditions. In the case of miscellaneous books, the Auctioneer reserves the right to extract and dispose of books that, in the opinion of the Auctioneer at his absolute discretion, have no saleable value and, therefore, might detract from the saleability of the rest of the lot and the Auctioneer shall incur no liability to the seller, in respect of the books disposed of. By delivering the goods to the Auctioneer for inclusion in his auction sales each seller acknowledges that he/she accepts and agrees to all the conditions.

4. (a) The buyer shall forthwith upon the purchase give in his name and permanent address and pay to the Auctioneer immediately after the conclusion of the auction the total sum due. (b) The buyer may be required to pay down during the course of the sale the whole or any part of the total sum due, and if he fails to do so after such request the lot or lots may at the Auctioneer's absolute discretion be put up again and resold immediately. (c) The buyer shall at his own expense take away any lot or lots purchased no later than five working days after the auction day. (d) The Auctioneer may at his own discretion agree credit terms with a buyer and extend the time limits for collection in special cases but otherwise payment shall be deemed to have been made only after the Auctioneer has received cash or a sterling banker’s draft or the buyer's cheque has been cleared.

11. (a) Unless otherwise instructed in writing all goods on the Auctioneer's premises and in their custody will be held insured against the risks of fire, burglary, water damage and accidental breakage or damage.

The value of the goods so covered will be the hammer price, or in the case of unsold lots the best bid, or in the case of loss or damage prior to the sale that which the specialised staff of the Auctioneer shall in their absolute discretion estimate to be the auction value of such goods. (b) The Auctioneer shall not be responsible for damage to or the loss, theft, or destruction of any goods not so insured because of the owner’s written instructions.

5. (a) If the buyer fails to pay for or take away any lot or lots pursuant to clause 4 or breaches any other condition of that clause the Auctioneer as agent for the seller shall be entitled after consultation with the seller to exercise one or other of the following rights: (i) Rescind the sale of that or any other lots sold to the buyer who defaults and re-sell the lot or lots whereupon the defaulting buyer shall pay to the Auctioneer any shortfall between the proceeds of that sale after deduction of costs of re-sale and the total sum due. Any surplus shall belong to the seller. (ii) Proceed for damages for breach of contract. (b) Without prejudice to the Auctioneer's rights hereunder if any lots or lots are not collected within five days or such longer period as the Auctioneer may have agreed otherwise, the Auctioneer may charge the buyer a storage charge of £1.00 + VAT at the current rate per lot per day. (c) Ownership of the lot purchased shall not pass to the buyer until he has paid to the Auctioneer the total sum due.

12. The Auctioneer shall remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller thirty days after the day of the auction provided that the Auctioneer has received the total sum due from the buyer. In all other cases the Auctioneer will remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller within seven days of the receipt by the Auctioneer of the total sum due. The Auctioneer will not be deemed to have received the total sum due until after any cheque delivered by the buyer has been cleared. In the event of the Auctioneer exercising his right to rescind the sale his obligation to the seller hereunder lapses.

6. (a) The seller shall be entitled to place a reserve on any lot and the Auctioneer shall have the right to bid on behalf of the seller for any lot on which a reserve has been placed. A seller may not bid on any lot on which a reserve has been placed. (b) Where any lot fails to sell, the Auctioneer shall notify the seller accordingly. The seller shall make arrangements either to re-offer the lot for sale or to collect the lot and may be asked to pay a commission not exceeding 50% of the selling commission and any special expenses incurred in cataloguing the lot. (c) If such arrangements are not made within seven days of the notification the Auctioneer is empowered to sell the lot by auction or by private treaty at not less than the reserve price and to receive from the seller the normal selling commission and special expenses.

13. In the case of the seller withdrawing instructions to the Auctioneer to sell any lot or lots, the Auctioneer may charge a fee of 12.5% of the Auctioneer's middle estimate of the auction price of the lot withdrawn together with Value Added Tax thereon and any expenses incurred in respect of the lot or lots.

14. The Auctioneer’s current standard notices and information (i.e. Collation and Amendments) will apply to any contract with the Auctioneer as if incorporated herein.

15. These conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English Law.
