Provenance: By direct descent.

Notes: George Henry Henderson was born in Wooler, 18/05/1889, and attended Duke School, Alnwick before entering the Civil Service (Board of Education) in 1907. He attested at Edinburgh 02/09/1914 and went to Egypt as a Sergeant in the 5/6th Battalion Royal Scots 15/09/1915. Discharged to a commission 06/11/1916, he was posted to the 16th Battalion Royal Scots 11/12/1916 and was with in command of a platoon of A Company when they participated in the attack on Roeux 28/04/1917 ­ part of the Battle of Arras. “I mopped up the houses and cellars in my area, taking a few prisoners.....we encountered what appeared to be a preliminary counter­attack by the enemy. For some time we maintained our position by rifle fire and bombing in the hope of reinforcements arriving.” Henderson attracted the attention of a sniper, and received “a through and through wound of the front of the right thigh....the openings [of which] were large & ragged” and was made a prisoner. He attributed his eventual recovery from his wound to the ministrations of British NCOs and Russian doctors among his fellow prisoners “as the Boche did very little for us, especially in the way of food.” Interned in Switzerland, he was repatriated 09/12/1918, and resumed his career in government service. In 1933, as General Inspector Department of Health for Scotland he superintended the evacuation of the few remaining inhabitants of the remote island of St Kilda.

£1,000­1,500

The superb Operation Dynamo DSO group of seven awards to Lieutenant Robert Bill, R.N.: The Distinguished Service Order, Companion’s Breast Badge, George VI; 1939­145 Star; Atlantic Star; Burma Star, with Pacific bar; Defence Medal; 1939­45 War Medal; Coronation Medal 1953; court mounted as worn, very fine and better, [7]; together with a mounted group of corresponding dress miniature medals, about extremely fine; accompanied by a copy of Lieutenant Bill’s official report to Commander M/S Dover on the operations by M/S trawlers under his command at Dunkirk, 29th May 1940.

Provenance: By direct descent

Notes: On the morning of the 29th May 1940, as the inexorable advance of Hitler’s forces threatened to snuff out Britain’s resistance to his war aims, Lieutenant Robert Bill, R.N. ­ an executive officer of the Dover minesweeping force ­ was ordered to Dunkirk in charge of six trawlers to assist in the evacuation of the British Expeditionary Force. After shipping ladders off Ramsgate at 0430 the force proceeded to Dunkirk, arriving at 1350. Seeing the harbour very crowded, Bill offered to take on troops off the beaches, but was eventually ordered into harbour, where he berthed at 1420, before reporting to the Piermaster, Commander James Clouston. Throughout the series of air raids that followed, he worked tirelessly in conditions of extreme danger organising the embarkation of troops and the berthing and unberthing of vessels. The third air raid, at 1800, was particularly severe, and it engendered a degree of panic among the waiting troops. Bill reported that “At this time I was with the Piermaster [Clouston] and he instructed me to draw my revolver to quell the panic”. Meanwhile the destroyer H.M.S. Grenade had been hit by two bombs, and her wreck was a causing a threat to the other shipping. Lieutenant Bill gave orders, and the stricken Grenade was towed clear before her magazines exploded. Under orders to depart, Bill got his vesselsladen with men ­ under way. Unable to find Clouston, Bill “just managed to jump on board [trawler Fyldea] as she was leaving”. Following fruitless attempt, off the beach, to find more men to embark on his trawlers; and with the vessels in his charge sustaining damage, Bill made final preparations to leave. Approaching the destroyer H.M.S. Jaguar he offered to take on board some of her refugees, but was instead ordered to escort her, as she had no boats, and would therefore require support if badly damaged. As the two vessels proceeded for home, Jaguar came under attack by five dive bombers; and Bill, in the Fyldea, opened fire on them, provoking one of the planes to retaliate. As the German made his attack Bill ordered evasive manoeuvres and “six bombs...fell about 40/50 yards on our port beam”. Later on the journey home Bill caught up with the damaged and limping trawler Brock, relieving her of three urgent medical cases before making for Dover at full speed, arriving at 0300 on the 30th.

The recommendation for the D.S.O. concludes that “Throughout this period of severe trial Lieutenant Bill remained cool and self­possessed and set a magnificent example to those around him. He showed sound judgement in his actions and his orders to the trawlers and was largely responsible for the fact that greater loss was not incurred. A fine display of officer­like qualities and gallantry under fire.”

In 1815 Harris was bosun’s mate of the Cornwallis when it was sighted by the American ships Hornet and Peacock. Both ships identified the Cornwallis as a merchantman and closed with her. Cornwallis chased the Hornet for 3 days until, by throwing all their guns and other equipment overboard and aided by poor British gunnery, the Hornet eventually escaped. This incident was the last action of the War of 1812. Harris was the gunner on HMS Vanguard during the operations against Syria in 1840.

Notes: Jessie Landale Cumberland was born in Nainital, India, in 1861, to Richard Felix Wilson Cumberland and Jessie Maria Landale.

The 'DEPUTATION 1910' ribbon and bar may indicate participation in the demonstration outside the Houses of Parliament on the 18th of November 1910, which came to be known as 'Black Friday' for the brutal physical abuse visited upon the Suffragettes by the police and onlookers. Jessie Cumberland’s first arrest appears to have occurred on the 27th of November 1911, when she and a number of other women were detained at Bow Street police station. A stone­throwing campaign had been initiated by the Women's Social and Political Union on the 21st of November, though it is also possible that she was involved in the protests that followed the withdrawal of the Conciliation Bill, news of which had broken on the 24th.

Her arrest on the 21st May 1914, which is commemorated on the bar of the medal, resulted from a celebrated episode in the history of the fight for women's suffrage: the demonstration outside Buckingham Palace, as part of which Emmeline Pankhurst attempted to present a petition to King George V. Miss Cumberland was one of 66 women arrested ­ together with two men ­ and the episode produced the iconic photograph of Pankhurst being forcibly detained by Chief Inspector Francis Harry Rolfe.

Jessie Cumberland lived to see the passage of the Representation of the People Act in 1918, dying in March 1935 in Wimbledon.

THE COLLECTION OF MAJOR R. R. PELHAM BURN M.C. T.D.

Ronald Russell Pelham Burn was born in Edinburgh on the 11th of October 1910. As a Captain during the Second World War, he was captured by the Germans at St Valéry­en­Caux in 1940 while in command of D Company, 4th Battalion Seaforth Highlanders. He escaped immediately, and although he was soon recaptured his defiant spirit endured as he was moved between various camps. He was imprisoned at Oflag VII B from September 1942, where he maintained clandestine communications with the War Office. It would appear that his interest in medal collecting had its genesis while he was in captivity, as he obtained books on the subject –as well as on heraldry – via the Red Cross. He then formed his collection in the later 1940s and 1950s. His Military Cross was gazetted in October 1945.

Notes: The French colony of Martinique, which France had previously lost to the British but regained by the treaty of Amiens in 1802, became a focus for Anglo­French hostilities when war broke out again in May 1803. H.M.S. Centaur, a 74 gun third rate ship of the line, was the flagship of Commodore Sir Samuel Hood when he was assigned command in the Leeward Islands, and she took part in numerous actions, as well as in the establishment of a battery of guns on Diamond Rock. In the early morning of the 4th February 1804, she sent four boats with sixty seamen and twelve marines under the command of Lieutenant Reynolds to cut out the Curieux, a corvette of sixteen six pounders, from the Carénage under the guns of Fort Royal. Boarding on the quarters, the British initially met with stiff resistance but according to Hood* “the spirited and superior valour of this brave officer [Reynolds] and his supporters drove them forward, where a second stand was made, which was carried with equal gallantry”. The wounded French captain, Cordier, escaped; and the casualty figures bear witness to the ferocity of the British assault: nine wounded and killed on the British side, and forty on the French. Reynolds brought his prize out, and she was commissioned as H.M.S. Curieux with he as her first commander. Very sadly, however, he did not recover from the severe wounds ­ five in number ­ that he had sustained as the price of his great gallantry, and he died on Diamond Rock in September of that year.

After an arduous period spent in pursuit and repeated attacks with incendiary bullets he brought the vessel down in flames. There was some confusion at the time about the identity of the ship he had destroyed, which is reflected in the attribution given by Sub. Lieut Albert L. Davis, who appears as the assembler and presenter of the first display. He describes the ash used as a being from “structure & incinerated Germans”.

LOT SYMBOLS VAT

Lots marked with an dagger (†) are subject to VAT on the hammer price.

In online catalogues, the Sales Tax % column indicates the rate of VAT on hammer price.

The CITES Regulations may be found at www.defra.gov.uk/ahvlaen/imports­exports/cites/

ARTIST’S RESALE RIGHT / DROIT DE SUITE

Lots marked with a ‡ symbol are potentially subject to a levy.

Droit de Suite is a royalty payable to a qualifying artist or the artist’s heirs each time a work is resold during the artist’s lifetime and up to a period of 70 years after the artist’s death.

Royalties are calculated on a sliding percentage scale based on the hammer price excluding the buyer’s premium. The royalty does not apply to lots selling below the sterling equivalent of €1,000 and the maximum royalty payable on any single lot is the sterling equivalent of €10,000.

Droit de Suite, which is not subject to VAT, will be added to the buyer’s purchase price and then passed on to the relevant collecting agency.

Please enquire for the accepted exchange rate on the day of the sale.

FIREARMS

Lots marked Ƒ in the catalogue, or by any other means identified as controlled firearms, are subject to the UK firearms/shotgun licencing regime, and should only be viewed/purchased by individuals with appropriate licences. It is the responsibility of the bidders to ensure that they are legally authorised to acquire the lot that they are bidding for. In the event that such a lot is successfully bid for by an individual who is not authorised to possess it, that individual will be required to pay for it, but will not be allowed to take physical possession of it. The auctioneers will re­offer the lot on behalf of the buyer in a future auction; or may accept instructions to dispose of it by some other legal means, at their discretion.

INFORMATION FOR BUYERS

SOCIETY OF FINE ART AUCTIONEERS AND VALUERS and the ROYAL INSTITUTION OF CHARTERED SURVEYORS CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS

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. The purchase price. The Buyer shall pay the hammer price together with a premium thereon of 26% plus VAT @20% (totalling 31.2% inclusive) on the first £500,000 and 20% plus VAT @20% (24%) inclusive thereafter.

5. VAT. (†) indicates that VAT at the current standard rate is payable by the purchaser 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 omega symbol (Ω) 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. (As at 31st December 2020. Please refer to SOFAA website for updates to the Terms and Conditions).

6. 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 for the goods to leave the U.K. and (b) whether there is any specific prohibition on importing the goods in question into the destination country because, e.g. they may contain prohibited materials such as ivory. Charges may be applicable for export licences. Ask us if you need help.

The denial of any permit or licence shall not justify cancellation or rescission of the sale contract or any delay in payment.

9. Bidding. Bidders will 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 will 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.

11. Methods of Payment. As a general rule any cheques tendered will need to be cleared before removal of the goods is permitted. Please discuss with our Office in advance of the sale if other methods of payment are envisaged (except cash).

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.

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. Commission is charged to sellers at the following rates: 15% + VAT on each lot sold for up to £999, 10% + VAT on each lot realising £1,000 and above.

3. Removal costs. Items for sale must be consigned to the sale room 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.

4. Loss and damage waiver. We are not regulated by the FSA for the provision of insurance to clients. However, we for our own protection assume liability for property consigned to us at lower pre­sale estimate. To justify accepting liability, we make a charge of 1.5% of the hammer price plus VAT or, if unsold, our mid estimate of the hammer price. If the owner of goods consigned instructs us in writing not to take such action, they then remain at owner’s 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 4 is inapplicable.

5. Illustrations. The cost of any illustrations is borne by you. If we consider that the lot should be illustrated your permission will usually 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.

6. Minimum bids and our discretion. Goods may be offered subject to a reserve agreed between us before the sale in accordance with clause 7.

7. 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 ‘discretion’ we may accept a bid of up to 10% below the formal reserve.

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 insurance 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.

8. 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.

9. 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 8 and 9 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.

10. 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. The liability to reimburse the sale proceeds shall not arise where you are acting reasonably and honestly and are unaware of the forgery but we are or ought to have been aware of it.

11. Unsold and withdrawn items. If an item is unsold it may with your consent be reoffered 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.

12. Withdrawn and bought in items. These are liable to incur a charge of up to 10% plus VAT of the reserve or low estimate on being bought in or withdrawn after being catalogued.

13. 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.

14. 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 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 on the day of the 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.

15. 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 £2 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.

16. Settlement. Subject to our normal trading conditions, payment will be made by BACS or cheque 5 weeks after the sale 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 10 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.

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.

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.

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

(a) 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’.

(b) 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. (a) 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.

(b) 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 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 in 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.

22. Prior written consent must be sought by the buyer or any other party for the use of any images, illustrations and written materials produced by or for Woolley & Wallis relating to a lot or sale, including the contents of a catalogue. Copyright for any of the aforementioned will remain the property of Woolley & Wallis, subject to the provisions of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988.

INSURANCE VALUATIONS

Written valuations for insurance can vary from a single item to a large estate. Before starting we discuss the various options available so that the valuation is specifically tailored to individual client’s needs. For valuations of an entire house contents an itemised bound valuation is produced and can be accompanied by photographs when required. In addition to providing an inventory, written valuations can prevent painful arguments with a loss adjuster in the event of a claim.

Woolley & Wallis valuations are accepted by all leading insurance companies.

PROBATE VALUATIONS

We offer a speedy and professional service for executors and trustees and provide bound valuations for probate and duplicate copies when required. Since security is often a consideration, we can usually arrange for a house to be cleared and sent for auction, our Valuations Department ensures that executors are informed of which sales are involved and the results thereof.

We also carry out valuations for Family Division, Capital Gains Tax, and Private Treaty Sales.
