PREFACE

Dear Collecting Friend

Welcome to Postal Medal Auction No. 68 coinciding with the 50thAnniversary of the founding of City Coins in Cape Town, January 1967.

It took form when an important South African orientated collection, started some 40 years ago, was entrusted to City Coins. Many of the lots on offer emanate from this “old” collection – “old” in the sense that the recipients of the medals have not, as yet, been fully researched in the way in which details can now be extracted online. Some months later, the John Goss collection of medals and contemporary Southern African, British and Foreign Miniatures was entrusted to City Coins. This was also formed over a period of 40 years.

Of special mention are the following:

– The most extensive collection of awards to participants in The First Boer War ofIndependence (1880-81) ever at auction.– Some 220 Queens South Africa medals (singles and groups), including more than 60 TownGuards. This is the second largest number of Queen’s South Africa medals on auction in SouthAfrica since 1974 when City Coins sold the M.G. Hibbard collection.– An important selection of medallions of the Zuid Afrikaansche Republiek.– An interesting selection of Boer War ephemera.– Four DCM groups.– The largest and most complete collection of miniature medals ever to be offered in SouthAfrica. This is an extraordinary collection. It is unlikely to be offered again in the near futureand collectors should avail themselves of this opportunity.Bids for the miniature medal collection as a whole or sections thereof will be taken intoconsideration.

Several highlights are listed below:

(Lot 1) Distinguished Conduct Medal pair for Bronkhorstspruit, 20 December 1880, awarded to Sergt J T Bradley; (Lots 2-9) are all notable as they fall under The First Boer War of Independence 1880-1881; (Lot 5) SAGS awarded to Capt. A.L. Falls, who was killed on the first day of the Siege of Potchefstroom; (Lot 19) a bronze Queens South Africa medal to Sweeper Rooldu of the Burma Mtd Infantry; (Lot 53) awarded to R. Reynolds, one of eight Queen’s South Africa medals awarded to the Ladybrand Town Guard; (Lot 201) the Queen’s South Africa medal to Civil Surgeon Engelbach who was killed at Nooitgedacht, 13 December 1900; (Lot 206) an official looking but doubtful Queen’s South Africa to Major “Gat” Howard, Commanding Officer of the Canadian Scouts; (Lot 234) an unnamed Kimberley medal in pristine condition; (Lots 245-260) are the Tribute medals some of which are unlisted in Hibbard, (Lot 245) a Queen’s South Africa medal/bronze Ookiep pair awarded to Pte R. Harvey is of interest; some 30 awards to the Boer side, starting with (Lot 263) a single DTD to a Boer General; (Lots 293-342) a selection of Boer War medallions; (Lots 301 and 308) two elusive Boer War medallions, 18 ct. gold, 45mm diam.; (Lot 373) a Great War Palestine Operations M.C. group of ten awarded to Major O.H. Warne attached to the 21st Balloon Company, Palestine Brigade R.F.C.; (Lots 682–901) the John Goss collection of miniatures.

On a personal note Natalie Jaffe writes:

1963 I graduated as a Librarian from University of Cape Town. 1967 (January) City Coins in Tulbagh Square was founded by Allen G. Jaffe. 1968 I met Allen and we were married in 1969. 1970 I resigned as Head of the Acquisitions Department, Cape Town Libraries to join my husband at City Coins as a girl Friday. 1975 we moved City Coins from one side of the Square in March to larger premises on the opposite side, where City Coins was destined to remain for 34 years. City Coins has remained in Tulbagh Square for 50 years. 1975 Friday, 16 May, my husband was killed in an accident. I was 5 months pregnant with my third child, my son was 4 and my daughter was 2. 1975 Tuesday, 20 May, I opened up the doors of City Coins. 2000 I was appointed sole South African representative to Dix Noonan Webb (London). 2016 I underwent diagnosis, surgery, chemotherapy. 2017 Gradual recovery.

The numismatic support that I received worldwide after May 1975 has helped me through the very difficult times to the present day. I had much to learn about numismatics. I read every night and subscribed to the IBSCC. I was (and still am) cognizant of my custodial role in the numismatic world. Bill Hibbard gave me support and input from the beginning. He assisted me with bringing out Postal Coin and Medal Auction No. 20 in 1976, that coincided with the 6th SA Numismatic Convention held in Durban. This brings me now to the 50th Anniversary Postal Medal Auction No. 68. I have personally carried out the instructions on each bidding form after every auction. These Postal Medal auctions reach out to collectors in 13 countries today and so do my lasting relationships. The catalogues continue to be sent free of charge to collectors and the costs are my contribution as a librarian and numismatist to the numismatic fraternity. I have a set of all the City Coins Postal Auctions since 1967 in my personal library.

Enduring and personal relationships have been forged and cemented worldwide between City Coins, myself and collectors over the years. As one collector, Henk Loots, wrote in Postal Medal Auction 66: “In October 1972 I visited our Cape Town office in connection with the Du Toit’s Kloof Freeway Project. After a meeting with the Roads Authorities I had some spare time before leaving for the airport. I strolled down to the Foreshore where I discovered City Coins’ shop and bought my first ever medals from a dealer. That marked the beginning of an association with initially Allen and later Natalie Jaffe that is still going strong after well over 43 years (and I still have 2 of the 4 medals I bought that day).”

When Bill Hibbard retired from UCT he joined me at City Coins until he passed away. Soon after the start of the new millennium Rob Mitchell retired from his engineering duties in Cape Town, and he, and lately Johan Louw, have provided that specialist medal knowledge which has underpinned the quality of City Coins Postal Auctions during the recent years.

To all the collectors and vendors of City Coins since 1967 I extend my profound thanks for remaining connected and entrusting your collectables to City Coins. I thank those who have assisted me so selflessly over the years. I hope this Anniversary catalogue will be of interest and look forward to renewing contact.

BOER vs BRIT THE FIRST BOER WAR OF INDEPENDENCE 1880-1881

by Rob Mitchell

To many military medal collectors the conflict between Boer and Brit simply refers to The Anglo Boer War 1899 – 1902. In South Africa this conflict is often referred to as “Die Tweede Vryheidsoorlog” (literally translated as “The Second Freedom War”) and came about due to prolonged discord between Britain and Kruger’s Transvaal Republic. For the South African numismatist and military historian this conflict provides such an unparalleled variety of collectables to study that many collectors have limited their interest to this single war. The ubiquitous Queen’s South Africa medal with its 26 different clasps and innumerable units, both British and Colonial, clearly provides a wonderful series to study and collect. For South African medal collectors their interest naturally also extends to the so called Anglo Boere Oorlogmedalje which was issued to members of the Boer Forces during the early 1920’s. Where else have named medals been issued to the opposing belligerents from both sides of a bitter and historically well documented conflict? Where else is so much archival information available? Collectors of South African military medals are indeed very fortunate. It should however be remembered that the Boers and the Brits, so to speak, had engaged one another in serious combat on several occasions during the previous 100 years or so and the medals awarded to recipients who fought and died during these conflicts demand equal attention. In addition to the well-known Battles of Muizenberg and Blaauwberg during the First and Second British Occupations of the Cape in 1795 and 1806 respectively, the clashes between Boer and Brit at Port Natal in 1842 and at Boomplaats in 1848 might also be considered to form part of this theme. Although no specific campaign medals were awarded for any of these actions medals for other campaigns awarded to recipients who are recorded as having taken part can sometimes be identified. Further clashes between Boer and Brit might be considered to include the capture of the Dutch Squadron in Saldanha Bay in August 1796 where my maternal forbear, Kaptein Overbeek, surrendered but being an Officer was permitted to retain his sword! The British and a party of Boers also clashed at Zwartkoppies in April 1845 where they even fired canons at one another and of course the disastrous Jameson Raid in January 1896 greatly antagonised the Transvaal Boers. However the most serious clash between Boer and Brit was the conflict precipitated by Sir Theophilus Shepstone through his annexation of the South African Republic for the British in 1877 now commonly known as The First Boer War (in Afrikaans: Eerste Vryheidsoorlog). When the British consolidated their powers in 1879 over most of their South African colonies after the Anglo-Zulu War, the Boers protested and on 16 December 1880 they revolted. After several serious clashes a peace treaty was signed on 23 March 1881, ending the only war lost by the British Empire during the 19th century and resulting in Kruger’s South African Republic regaining its independence. The principal consignee for City Coins Postal Medal Auction 68 acquired a First Boer War DCM pair many years ago (Lot 1) and this subsequently led to his keen interest in collecting medals associated with this conflict. His medal collection which is now offered through this Postal Auction includes numerous QSA medals, but in my view more significantly, includes the most extensive grouping of medals awarded to participants in The First Boer War ever offered for sale in a single auction. It is due to this reason that this short article on the War of 1880-1881 has been included as a Preface to this catalogue.

5

An excellent overview of this conflict was published in the December 1980 Centenary issue of The South African Military History Society Journal (edited by G.R. Duxbury, then the Director of the South African National Museum). Fortunately most of the individual articles published in this Journal are readily available on the Web and I encourage interested collectors to follow the story in more detail on their computers at home. Three years later Kenneth C. Lovell and John C. Prior responded to the challenge and published their detailed casualty roll titled “BritishCasualties of the First Boer War 1880 – 1881”. Luckily for the medal collector the vastmajority of the British participants in this conflict also served in the earlier South Africanconflicts of 1877-8-9 and the Afghan War of 1878 and were awarded the South African GeneralService medal and Afghan medal accordingly. Although no campaign medal wasawarded, awards for gallant and distinguished services during the First Boer War amounted tosix V.C’s; one C.B.; four R.R.C.s; one C.G.M., and 20 D.C.M.s.More than 400 British and Colonial servicemen were killed or died during this short conflict, thebulk of whom who served with the 58th Regiment, the 94th Foot and the 3/60th Regiment and toa lesser extent the 92nd Regiment, the 2/21st Regiment and even 22 members of the RoyalNavy. More than a further 400 men were wounded.The principal actions were as follows:

THE BATTLE OF BRONKHORSTSPRUIT - 20 DECEMBER 1880

The British disaster at Bronkhorstspruit was the opening action of this conflict. Based at Lydenburg in the Eastern Transvaal Colonel Anstruther had received orders towards the end of November 1880 to move to Pretoria with two companies of the 94th Regiment and its Headquarters and Commissariat and Transport components. Needlessly delaying his movements he set forth with his force of approximately 250 all ranks on 5 December. His column reached Middelburg on 15 December and, although now specifically warned that caution should be exercised, he unwittingly rode into a pre-set Boer position at Bronkhorstspruit. He was approached by a Boer fighter under a flag of truce and handed an instruction to withdraw. Being given just two minutes to do so, he replied that “I have my order to proceed with all possible despatch to Pretoria, and to Pretoria I am going, but tell the Commandant I have no wish to meet him in a hostile spirit”. Firing started soon thereafter. The British casualties were high with at least 77 killed or died of wounds and more than 80 wounded. Lt. Colonel Anstruther and 3 other officers were all killed. The remainder of his force were taken prisoner.

THE BATTLE OF LAINGSNEK - 28 JANUARY 1881

Immediately on receiving the news of the disaster at Bronkhorstspruit Sir Owen Lanyon, the British Administrator of the Transvaal, proclaimed Martial Law. Despatches were immediately sent to Sir George Pomeroy-Colley in Pietermaritzburg, the Governor and High Commissioner and Commander-in-Chief of the British forces in Natal advising that Potchefstroom had also been attacked and that the available forces in Pretoria were too weak to respond to the Boer aggression. It is clear that Sir George Pomeroy-Colley had no wish to extend this conflict however, as a trained soldier, he considered that it was beholden on him to send reinforcements to Pretoria. Accordingly he assembled a force consisting of the 5 companies of each the 58th Foot and the 3rd Battalion of the 60th Regiment together with nearly 100 members of the 2/21st Regiment, a Naval Detachment and about 100 Officers and men of the Royal Artillery with a variety of guns.

6

Mounted infantry men were drawn from the 58th and the 60th and together with some 70 members of the Natal Police his total force numbered about 1 400 all ranks. On the 26th January Colley, having crossed the Natal/Transvaal border, established camp at Mount Prospect, still some distance from Laingsnek. Fully aware of the cumbersome movements of the British force General Piet Joubert moved his force of some 2 000 burghers to the area immediately north of Laingsnek where three laagers were established. Although Colley’s reconnaissance scouts reported on the Boer positions on 27 January he decided never the less to push his way through the Boer positions. Intending to capture and occupy Engelbrecht’s Kop, a feature which commanded both the Nek and the left Boer laager, Colley entrusted his attack to the 58th Foot and his 70 mounted infantrymen under Major Brownlow. Foolishly he did not call on the experienced local men of the Natal Mounted Police. The British attack was a disaster and although only a small number (less than a 100) of the Boer force occupied the

heights of Engelbrecht’s Kop they were well prepared and routed the attacking British force. Colonel Deane, who led the attack, was quickly killed – the total British casualties amounting to nearly 200 killed and wounded. It was a stunning victory for the Boers and as Colonel Duxbury wrote: “there was far worse to come.”

THE BATTLE OF SCHUINSHOOGTE (INGOGO RIVER) - 8 FEBRUARY 1881

After the heavy set back at Laingsnek Colley withdrew his force to Mount Prospect to lick his wounds. With so many wounded it was vital that these were taken back to Natal for medical care. On 8 February several ambulances left for Newcastle with Colley mounting a strong escort to set them off on the most hazardous part of their journey. Not surprisingly the leaders of the Boer fighters were cock-a-hoop and when Colley’s force reached the high plateau known as Schuinshoogte they initiated an attack. Once again the British were no match for the Boers and during the ensuing fight which lasted throughout the afternoon they inflicted further losses of more than 140 killed and wounded on the already depleted British force. Nineteen days later they would achieve their real triumph.

7

THE BATTLE OF MAJUBA - 27 FEBUARY 1881

Notwithstanding these severe defeats Colley was still filled with much misguided bravado and determined to avenge his ignominious defeats. With Sir Evelyn Wood now appointed as his second-in-command, he once again formed a second column at Newcastle. His troops were now joined by a significant number of additional troops including the 92nd Gordon Highlanders fresh from their successful campaign in Afghanistan. For some reason, perhaps only ever known to General Colley himself, he assembled a composite force of some 550 men and giving them barely three hours warning he set out under cover of darkness intent on surprising the Boers by occupying Majuba Mountain which overlooked the Nek and the Boer position. These forces reached the Majuba summit without too much difficulty but clearly his occupying force did not take effective precautions to counter a possible Boer attack. As soon as Joubert became aware of what had happened he determined that a move should be made to eject the British force from the summit. He entrusted this task to Commandant N.J. Smit and, taking full advantage of the cover afforded by the sparse scrub and dead ground, the Boers carried out a very methodical attack. The disastrous outcome of this battle is well known. General Colley was killed in the early afternoon, evidently having been shot by a single bullet in his head. Once again the British casualties were severe. Duxbury quotes: 92 being killed, 134 wounded and a further 59 taken prisoner. The Boers suffering just one killed and five wounded. A week later, in a cottage close by, Sir Evelyn Wood met General Joubert to discuss provisional peace terms. Less than two decades later Boer forces, this time better equipped and in much greater numbers, crossed over the Transvaal border. The concurrent sieges of Ladysmith, Mafeking and Kimberley had begun.

TOWNS BESIEGED

During this short War Boer forces besieged several towns. These included Pretoria, Potchefstroom, Lydenburg, Marabastad, Rustenburg, Standerton and Wakkerstroom. The number of casualties sustained by the British during these affairs, except for the Siege of Potchefstroom where they numbered more than 80 killed and wounded, was relatively light.

8

To have any real understanding of the Anglo Boer War one needs to study the events and political considerations which led to this important War. With the disastrous losses inflicted on the British it was perhaps not surprising that a further date clasp “1880” was not authorised for the South African General Service medal. The British Authorities however did make the following awards: six V.C’s; one C.B.; four R.R.C.s; one C.G.M., and twenty D.C.M.s. Due to the small number of these awards for this important conflict in the Saga of Boer vs Brit these are highly sought after by collectors. Much is also made of medals awarded to combatants who fought in both the First and Second Boer Wars. Perhaps the best known to the South African medal collector is one particular Captain of the 58th Foot who fought at Laingsnek. Those of you who study original QSA medal rolls (who can collect QSA medals without doing so?) will surely recognise his name: Major, later Lieutenant Colonel, Edward Lovegrove. This is his story.

Captain Edward Lovegrove was dangerously wounded during the Battle of Laingsnek on 28 January 1881 shortly after taking over the command of the 58th Foot from his senior officer who had become a casualty. His military career commenced when he purchased an Ensigncy in the 3rd West India Regiment in February 1868. He was promoted Lieutenant some 15 months later in May 1869 and is recorded in the 1871 Census as living on half pay with his widowed father shortly before his appointment to the 58th Foot in June 1871. He assumed the role of Adjutant in May 1877 and was present in the engagement at Ulundi during the final phase of the Zulu War. He was advanced to Captain on 18 October 1879. Reports on the Battle of Laingsnek state that after all the other senior officer’s having been killed or seriously wounded that he “the acting second-in-command” led the men on, but he too fell wounded, a Regimental history recording “Private Godfrey and Band-Boy Martin, 58th Regiment, remained with Major Hingeston and Captain Lovegrove respectively, when these officers were wounded, and notwithstanding the heavy fire, refused to leave them until they had been carried down the hill and taken to the ambulance.” For his gallantry Charles Godfrey was subsequently awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal. Godfrey later served during the Anglo Boer War and was wounded during the armoured train disaster near Chievely when Winston Churchill was captured. For a similar act of gallantry 2nd Lieutenant Alan Hill of the 58th was awarded the Victoria Cross for endeavouring to save the life of Lieutenant Baillie who, carrying the Regimental Colour, had led the 58th up the hillside. In all the 58th suffered nearly 80 killed and more than 90 wounded during this single action. Later writing in his diary Lovegrove recorded that an attack such as his Regiment had been called upon to undertake, relying on the bayonet against entrenched marksmen, was doomed to failure and was against “the recognised

9

principles of warfare”. Edward Lovegrove was promoted Major in December 1882 and receiving a gratuity retired from the Service on 18 November 1885. In later years, as a retired senior officer living in Cape Town, he offered his services during the Anglo Boer War and was duly appointed to assist the Red Cross. He took charge of their Depot at Wynberg where he assumed responsibility for the distribution of gifts to hospitals both at the base and on the lines. After the conclusion of hostilities he was appointed as the Officer Commanding the Discharge Depot for the South African Irregular Force and it is in this capacity that his name and his signature recorded on innumerable QSA and KSA medal rolls will be well-known to South African medal collectors. He was promoted Lieutenant Colonel on 18 October 1902. The ease of archival and historical research now affords medal collectors many opportunities to add colour to the recipient of a group of medals. Such is the case with Edward Lovegrove. Edward was born in September 1846 and was baptised 4 weeks later in the parish of Greenwich in the County of Kent. His father, Samuel of Ludgate Hill, was a well-known tavern owner and wine merchant, having joined his father Samuel Lovegrove, Edward’s grandfather, who first started his business in operating the well-known Horn tavern in Doctor’s Commons. He later moved to the Crown and Sceptre at Greenwich and then built two splendid taverns at Blackwall on the Greenwich Waterfront. At the same time he ran the well-known London Coffee-House, Ludgate-Hill. Grandfather Samuel Lovegrove was held in very high regard and was admitted to the Freedom of the Worshipful Company of Cooks in 1841. A contemporary writer colourfully described him as being the “reputed Prince of Artistes” and “that presiding genius of the kitchen” and even Charles Dickens wrote about his splendid white-bait dinners served at the Brunswick Tavern on the Wharf near the passenger embarkation point for boats to America. The white-bait is a small fish caught in the River Thames which requires special cooking and preparation. It was clearly intended that grandson Edward would follow in his father’s and grandfather’s footsteps and in September 1867 Edward was admitted into the Freedom of the Worshipful Company of Vintners in London. His intentions evidently changed and coming from a relatively wealthy family he purchased his Ensigncy just a few months later. After his eventful military career it would seem that his father’s death on 9 April 1885 induced Edward to resign his Major’s Commission. The London Gazette of 28 September records his name, being one of the co-executors of his father’s Will, being added to three other individuals who had already been granted probate of his father’s will by the High Court of Justice. In January 1894 Edward, still unmarried, returned to the Cape Colony. It is evident that sometime thereafter, but before 1905, he married. Interestingly his wife was Florence Annie Robertson. She was a widow having previously been married to Richard Henry Keats D’Arcy who had died in the Transvaal in 1885. Richard Henry Keates D’Arcy was the brother of the Colonial Zulu War hero and Victoria Cross recipient Cecil D’Arcy. Richard had served as an acting Magistrate in Kimberley during the mid-1870’s and as an Officer with the Dutoitspan Hussars later to be called the Diamonds Fields Horse with whom he earned the South Africa General Service medal with bar 1877-8. He subsequently went to Pretoria in 1879 and is remembered for organising the Pretoria Horse, often referred to as D’Arcy’s Horse, during the Siege of Pretoria during the First Boer War. He was badly wounded in the foot in the vicinity of Pretoria on 29 December 1880 and never really recovered.

BRONKHORSTSPRUIT 20 DECEMBER 1880

OBVERSE LOT 1 REVERSE

1. Pair – Distinguished Conduct Medal (DCM) (Vict.) VF+ 100.000 – 180.000 673 Sergt J.T. Bradley 94th Foot, 20th Dec. 1880; South Africa Medal bar: 1879 673 Lce Corpl J.T. Bradley 94th Foot

Joseph Taylor Bradley was the son of William and Susanna Bradley. He is recorded as having been baptised in Louth, Lincoln in England on 15 May 1844 although the English Census of 1871 records that he 31 years old suggesting that he was born in about 1840. At that time he was already serving with the 94th Foot, was married to Eliza Phillips, had one child, a daughter named Noretta who was born at Aldershot.

Joseph Lehmann relates in The First Boer War how, after the engagement at Bronkhorstspruit 20 December 1880, Joubert, the Boer Commandant, was persuaded to permit two volunteers, Conductor Egerton and Sgt Joseph Taylor Bradley, to walk to Pretoria for medical assistance.

They used the errand of mercy as a pretext for smuggling out the Regimental Colours. C/Sgt. Maistre and Sgt. Pearce were initially responsible for this concealment. When the Boers searched and inquired after the trophies, they were given a couple of banners that were used for decorative purposes in connection with garrison balls and theatricals. The Boers were delighted. Meanwhile, Egerton managed to wind the sacred prize around his body under his clothes.

In Pretoria the Colours were maintained by the 21st Royal Scots Fusiliers until the Regiment was re-organized. Egerton was subsequently rewarded with a Commission in the 94th Regiment. Lehmann does not specify any award for Bradley. However, in so far as the Submission to the Queen on 26 March 1882 cites the battle of Bronkhorstspruit in connection with Bradley’s award, and in so far also as the service performed was associated with the saving of the Regimental Colours (as is the case with Bridgestock) it is reasonable to assume that the Bradley mentioned by Lehmann is the same as the recipient of the DCM.

12

Today, the importance of “Saving the Regimental Colours” needs to be viewed in the context of Victorian military tradition. At that time, nothing could be viewed as being a greater dishonour to a Regiment than the loss of their Regimental Colours and conversely, no matter what the personal cost, nothing was more important than preserving the honour of their Colours.

No less than four of the 20 DCMs awarded for the First Boer War were awarded as a result of the actions taken in preventing these from falling into the hands of the Boers at Bronkhorstspruit. Besides the awards made to Conductor Egerton and Sergeant Bradly awards were also given to Colour Sergeant Maistre and Sergeant Pearce who were initially responsible for their concealment. Bradley received his DCM from the Queen on 13 May 1882.

During the Zulu War he was left behind with his company atFort Napier, Pietermaritzburg. He led his company in the Sekukuni Campaign of 1879, taking part inthe storming of the Fighting Kopje. At Potchefstroom he commanded C Companyand was killedduring the defence of the Landrost’s office on 16 December 1880, the first day of the Siege. According to Commandant Raaff, Captain Falls was in the passage between the office and the court-room, leaning against the front door and talking to Raaff, when a bullet penetrated the soft woodhitting him in the heart. He blurted out “Oh God” and dropped dead. Source: “A Rain of Lead” by Ian Bennett, Greenhill Books, London 2001.

Julian Orford, in his article on the “Siege of Potchefstroom” (published in the December 1980 Centenary issue of The South African Military History Society Journal) records:

“At midday on 15 December, a large body of mounted men was observed approaching the town in a skirmishing formation. Thornhill, who had taken his place in the post cart to return to Pretoria, galloped the horses to the fort to warn the soldiers of their approach. At the Fort the Assembly was sounded, tents were struck and the Fort manned. Captain Falls and 20 fusiliers took up position at the Landdrost's office which garrison, with Raaff's men, totalled about sixty, and Major Clarke took command. Lieutenant Dalrymple-Hay and his men were posted on the flat roof of the gaol. Mr Dunne had a few men somewhere else. Everyone remained at their posts throughout the night. Even without the outlying garrisons the Fort was packed to bursting point, as the 60 drivers and leaders and the 48 refugees squeezed in somehow. At about 09h00 on the 16th a small patrol of mounted armed Boers approached the Fort and the Colonel sent Lieutenant Lindsell and the mounted infantry to find out their intentions. The Boers withdrew, but fired on the mounted infantry, which fire was returned. A Commandant Robbertse was hit in the arm - the first casualty of the war. Shortly afterwards firing was heard at the Landdrost's office and a heavy fire was opened on the fort from three directions, mainly from Dr Poortman's house. Lieutenant Rundle sent a shell through a window of the house and a second landed at the front door. That evening the artillerymen ventured towards the nearest watering place, between the fort and the prison. A hot fire was immediately opened on them, killing a horse, and wounding Driver Moss, RA, seriously. The place from where the firing came was shelled and silenced. Captain Falls was shot dead in the Landdrost's office and a volunteer named Woods was also killed; several men were wounded.

2037 C/Sgt. Joseph Hardwick was slightly wounded during the capture of a Boer laager at Swart Kopjes on 6 January 1881. Colour Sergeant Joseph Hardwick is recorded as having served with his Regiment during the Zulu War qualifying for the clasp “1879”. He is recorded as having been slightly wounded during the capture of the Boer laager at Swartkoppies on 6 January 1881.

The action at Swartkoppies took place during the Siege of Pretoria. During the last days of December 1880 British forces under Colonel Gildea had attacked a Boer laager some 10 miles south of Pretoria but their advance, which naively assumed that the Boers had run away, was checked by concealed Boer marksmen and four of the British attackers were wounded before they hurriedly withdrew. An article by Rob Jordan (ref: The South African Military History Society Journal) records:

“A week later, on 5 January 1881, a foraging party to a farm nine miles east of the town (Pretoria) spotted another Boer laager three miles further off amongst the Zwartkoppies in a bend of the Pienaars river. Bellairs again decided to attack and the following morning 462 men set off under cover of darkness. The Pretoria Carbineers under Captain Sanctuary and guided by Corporal W. Struben performed a remarkable feat in riding round the laager undetected and taking up position behind it to cut off the Boer retreat, but at first light they foolishly betrayed their presence and drew fire. Gildea pushed ahead hurriedly with the main attack but the forty Boer defenders under

17

Veldkornet Hans Botha held their ground tenaciously until overwhelmed. Two Boers were killed, three wounded and fifteen were taken prisoner; the rest had ridden away while a flag of truce was flying. Gildea wasted no time in withdrawing to camp as more Boers were riding in from other laagers to investigate. This was the only time during the siege (of Pretoria) that an attack was pushed to a successful conclusion but the cost to the garrison had been high – six men dead, twelve wounded – and the Boers had inflicted more than three times their own losses on the attackers, a grim warning for the future. Assistant Commandant General Erasmus was criticized after the defeat and replaced by Hendrik Schoeman. It appears that Schoeman inculcated greater alertness among the besiegers and set up a system for distant laagers to communicate by means of signal fires but the records of the Boer command are so meagre it is difficult to assess his contribution accurately. He certainly did nothing to change the essentially defensive tactics.”

After seeing service during the earlier campaigns of 1877 and 1879 he is recorded as having beenengaged against the Zulus in 1879. He suffered a gunshot wound in his thigh during the action atIngogo River on 28 January 1881.

This action is perhaps better known as the Battle of Schuinshoogte in South Africa. The 1980Centenary issue of The South African Military History Society Journal records that the Britishsuffered 4 Officers and 62 men killed and another 4 officers and 63 men wounded.

The Boer losses were recorded as 8 killed, 6 wounded, of whom a further two subsequently died as aresult of their wounds.

13. – Tr A.J. Secretan Natal Md Police VF 5.000 – 7.000 Archer Jeston Secretan and his brother Francis Louis Secretan, originally from Leyton in Essex, joined the Natal Mounted Police at Pietermaritzburg in April 1878.

The High Commissioner Sir Bartle Frere’s ultimatum to Cetewayo expired on 11 January 1879 and the NMP, as part of the Third or Helpmekaar Column of British, Colonial and Native forces moved into Zululand under General Lord Chelmsford. They arrived at Isandhlwana late afternoon on 20 January and pitched camp.

Well before dawn on 21 January Archer Secretan left camp as part of a reconnoitring force under his NMP Commanding Officer, Major John G Dartnell, to track Zulu

19

movements roughly 10 miles to the South East. His brother Francis and the remaining 33 men of the NMP remained in the camp with the majority of the British Forces. The Dartnell party made sporadic contact with groups of Zulus during the day and eventually Dartnell decided not to return to the camp but to bivouac where they were at nightfall. At mid-morning on 22 January 1879 the “head and horns” of the Zulu army swept around and directly into the main British camp, and the rest is history. The attacking Zulu impis, estimated at between 12,000 and 20,000 strong, completely routed the defending force, which was killed virtually to a man, suffering approximately 1,300 dead. Zulu casualties were estimated to be in the region of 2,000 to as much as 6,000. A reputed 55 British and Colonial men successfully escaped (those mostly with horses) along the so-called “Fugitives’ Trail”, but many more died en route.

A ghastly sight awaited Archer Secretan when day broke the morning after the battle, described in detail in a letter subsequently sent home and which was printed in The Standard on 25 March 1879. In it he referred to his brother by his second name, Louis, although he had enlisted under his first name Frank. He mentioned that the reconnoitring forces returned to the camp too late after getting word of the slaughter, and after shelling the remaining Zulus from the area, they remained in the camp itself until dawn. A section of his very graphic account recorded:

“Morning at length came to our weary bodies, and we saw the scene of the battle. All the white men, with their entrails, noses, ears, and other parts of their body cut off and thrust in their poor dead mouths; sides slit up and arms thrust in; horses and oxen all lying about, stabbed and ripped up. We saw the British soldiers all lying formed up in a square, where they had held their ground till all were slain where they stood. The gunners were stabbed to a man where they stood by their two guns, the captain himself being shot whilst in the act of spiking the last one. Our horses were almost dead beat, as this was the beginning of the third day they had not had their saddles off or their bits out of their mouths, day or night; they were just like bags of bones. Well, after the officers had gone round the sad scene we left about five a.m., twenty-five of the Natal Mounted Police forming a rear guard, of which I was one. On the road to Rorke’s Drift we found all the way along torn clothes, dead bodies, &c., showing that the fiends had not spared a being so long as they could get near enough to assegai them. We found a few wounded Zulus and stragglers who were promptly despatched by us without mercy; our men were mad with revenge, and can you expect one to have the slightest piece of feeling for these wretches? Further along the road we came across four mounted police laying side by side, three stabbed and one shot, the last named being poor Louis. He had all his clothes on, even to his spurs, but everything about him - arms, money, &c. - was gone; he was not in the least way mutilated. I think these four must have got so far on foot, and that they were followed up before they could get as far as the river, as there were no horses near. He was shot through the back of the head, and death must have ensued directly. I have the following from one of our fellows who escaped, and who when leaving saw Louis mounting his horse. Colonel Durnford called out to him ‘What are you mounting for?’ He replied ‘I have no more ammunition, sir.’ The officer then told him to stand his ground with his knife only, and Louis replied, ‘Yes, sir, I will.’ So you see while others were riding away and cutting their way through, Louis obeyed orders and stood with the soldiers until all the officers were killed and there were no orders to be heard, and then it was every man for himself”.

In his publication Casualty Roll for the Zulu and Basuto Wars, South Africa 1877-79 Ian Tavender incorrectly listed A. Secretan as the Isandhlwana casualty. However, the original Medal Roll of the Natal Mounted Police makes it very clear that Trooper A.J. Secretan was discharged and that Trooper F. Secretan was killed.

Holt, in The Mounted Police of Natal, p.61, also confirms F. Secretan as the casualty. It is to be noted that this medal is recorded as having been issued without bar, however, Archer Secretan clearly crossed the Tugela.

The medal has been neatly removed from a brooch mounting on the reverse and has been re-suspendered. Nevertheless, a very nice medal.

From 1879 to 1880 he saw service with the Royal Artillery in Natal. In March 1879, he proceeded to America to purchase mules and arrived, in Natal on 21April, aboard the “Ontario” with 420 mules

21

transported from New York; eleven of which had died during the voyage. He proceeded to the Lower Tugela to take charge of the sick horse depot. He transferred the depot, subsequently, to Nonote, and from there to Durban. He served afterwards on the Lines of Communication between the Lower Tugela and St. Paul’s. At the end of November 1879 he took over the duties of Principal Veterinary Surgeon and continued to perform these duties until his departure from Natal.

In 1882 he served with the Army Veterinary Department at Tel-el-Kebir in 1883 and was principal Veterinary Surgeon during the Nile Expedition of 1885-5. He was mentioned in the Despatch of General Lord Wolseley of 25 August 1885. Walter Burt retired from the Army Veterinary Department on 4 November 1893 and was placed on half pay. In 1901 he was widowed and living in Upper Leecroft, Hurstpierpoint. He died at Eastbourne on 22 September 1905.

In September 1943 he was elected Mayor of East London and gained therespect of all Councillors for his fairness and impartiality in conducting Council meetings.Towards the end of his year as Mayor, George Charles was taken ill, and against medical advice,continued to serve the community. This undoubtedly hastened the development of the breakdown thatresulted in his death on 4 February 1945.One of George Charles’ highest accomplishments in public life was his work for the Cape EasternPublic Bodies – the Border Parliament. His breadth of vision, his energy and his deep knowledge ofpublic affairs made him a valuable member of the executive, and many of the achievements of thatorganisation carried the stamp of George Charles Starkey’s workmanship and ability upon them.In the world of commerce, George Starkey played an equally important part, being on the executivecommittee of the Chamber of Commerce. In regard to motoring, he was for many years chairman ofthe local committee of the Automobile Association of South Africa and a member of the East LondonTransportation Board. He was a past president and foundation member of the East London RotaryClub, and president of the Agricultural Society. George Charles also rendered valuable services inconnection with the CPS (Civil Protection Society), of which movement he was chairman. He was alife member of the CCAA (Automobile Association) and CU (Commercial Union) and on theexecutive of the Association of Boards of Executors and Trust Companies. He was president of theEast London Golf Club on two occasions and was appointed an honorary life member.He was a foundation member of the East London Senior Golfer’s Society of the Union for one year, aswell as being a vice-president of the South African Golf Union from 1929 to 1930.

Sold with copied medal roll.The men of the 2nd Battalion Worcestershire Regiment embarked at Southampton on the troop ship“Tintagel Castle” on the 17 December 1899 and headed for the war in South Africa as reinforcements forthe British Army under Field Marshal Lord Roberts. After disembarking at Cape Town on the 8 January 1900 they quickly made their way northwards towardsthe town of Rensburg where Lieut.-General Clements was holding back the Boers who were nowconcentrated at Colesberg some 10 miles north of the British line. It was here that the 2nd Battalion joined General Clements Brigade together with the 1st Royal Irish

and the 2nd Battalion Wiltshires. The British line maintained a semicircle extending from Slingersfonteinupon the right flank to Kloof Camp upon the left, and the general scheme of operations continued to be anenveloping movement upon the right. General Clements commanded this section of the forces on the right. The British lines had gradually stretched until they were now nearly fifty miles in length.On the 12th February 1900, the right flank of the British at Slingersfontein was attacked by the Boers

32

commanded by General De la Rey. The Boers made a fierce onslaught on the key British position which, was a kopje held by three companies of the Worcester’s 2nd Battalion. As they had done at Ladysmith, the Boers came forward under cover of darkness between the set of moon and rise of sun and the first intimation that the Worcester’s outposts had of their presence was the rush of feet and loom of figures in the cold misty light of dawn.

Taken by surprise the advanced sangars occupied by the Worcesters were quickly overrun and all the occupants were killed. Soon half the kopje was in possession of the Boers who shouted gleefully and firing continuously pressed forward.

The Worcesters however were steady old soldiers and the Battalion contained no less than four hundred and fifty marksmen in its ranks.

Clearly many of these were amongst the men of the three Worcester Companies on the hill and their fire was so accurate that the Boers soon found themselves unable to advance any further. Throughout the long day, a long and desperate duel was maintained between the two lines of riflemen. Fortunately, with the supporting fire of the guns of “J” Battery which were quickly brought out into the open, the British fire was so deadly that they were able to dominate the Boers and, although reinforced, they endured heavy loses. Eventually with the coming of darkness the Boers were forced to withdraw having sustained a loss of over two hundred killed and wounded. Similarly, General Clements also ordered that the whole right wing should be drawn in and the “victorious” Worcester companies were also withdrawn. The British losses in the action were twenty-eight killed and nearly a hundred wounded or missing, most of which was incurred when the sangars were rushed in the early morning.

In their honour these kopjes were subsequently called “Worcester Hill”.

Frederick George Engelbach qualified as Doctor and Surgeon at St Bartholomew's in London in 1866and then set up practise in Moretonhampstead. In 1898 he moved to London.

When the Boer War broke out he volunteered for service and was appointed Civil Surgeon. He arrived intime to accompany General French in his famous ride to Kimberley and subsequently accompanied thearmy in its march to Bloemfontein and then to Pretoria. He also went to Fouriesburg at the time of thesurrender of Prinsloo and was present at the battle of Diamond Hill.

On 13 December 1900, while tending the wounded at Nooitgedacht under heavy fire, Surgeon Engelbachwas shot through the palm of the left hand. He reputedly made a grim joke about now being handicapped inhis work when, in standing up to dress his wound, he was killed by a bullet through the forehead.

Naming officially engraved. On roll he is F.G. Frederick George and 5 bars verified which states:“Original Unit 2nd Cavalry Brigade.

On 3 December 1900 at Buffelspoort a 500 strong Boer commando under De la Rey and Smuts made a determined attack on the first half of a straggling British convoy bound for Rustenburg.

This first section, numbering 138 waggons and occupying a mile and a half of road, was preceded by 70 men of the West Yorkshires and two guns of the 75th Bty, RFA, with an escort of 21 men of the Yorkshire Lt Infy. Another weak company of the West Yorkshires formed the rear-guard.

After stiff fighting, lasting virtually the whole day, the Boers moved on, having obtained all they wanted: 138 waggons burnt or captured and more than 1800 oxen.

The British losses amounted to 15 men killed, 1 Officer and 22 men wounded as well as 1 Officer and 73 men taken prisoner.

The Boer losses were slight: 2 men killed and 7 wounded. Pte. Evans was wounded in the engagement.

CANADIAN SCOUTS

206. Five bars – CC, OFS, Jhb, DiamH, Belf VF 1.600 – 2.000Major A.L. Howard Canadian Scouts Howard is listed as a Lieutenant on the QSA medal roll of the Royal Canadian Dragoons (W.O. 100/287)signed by the Officer Commanding Colonel Lessard, at Toronto on 10 June 1901. There are severalhandwritten notes attached to his entry. The first simply recording: “Killed in Action – A Major in C. Scouts”; centre page; a further note notclearly decipherable but clearly referring to Major D.M. Howard who served with Lord Strathcona’s Horse;thirdly “medal and clasps handed to son – Mr G.M. Howard 18/11/01 (with reference)” and lastly“Killed” (this word deleted) and “transferred to Howards/ Canadian Scouts – Major”. A further medalroll listed under “Canadian Scouts” credits him with the additional bar South Africa 1901.The medal rolls for the QSA medal often make interesting reading and as with so many medal rolls ofmedals awarded to Colonial recipients Howard’s entry creates a hint of suspicion. Unfortunately it seemsthat the original QSA medal issued to this American and Canadian hero has never surfaced – perhaps itnever will.

36

Those collectors who have followed Howard’s story may recall a photograph listed on a well-known Anglo Boer War Web site of his medal group which included the Boer War DSO, the North West Canada medal and another QSA medal. The naming of this QSA medal is also shown, tucked away deeper in the web site. The photographer has confirmed that the group was “made up”. It would seem that this QSA (together with a DSO and an unnamed Canadian medal) was previously sold by Glendinings in March 1990 being described as “The QSA apparently unworn but its edge bruised and pitted, both sides with scratches (especially the obv.) and the suspension refixed.” A made up North West Canada medal was once offered with an astronomical reserve. This medal has most definitely been skimmed and renamed. It is a renamed medal however the naming has been so expertly done, the clutch of bars seemingly as originally fitted together and comes with a provenance which suggests no malicious numismatic intent. Today Major “Gat” Howard is revered as a Canadian hero and it therefore seems worthwhile to repeat his story. Arthur Lockhart Howard married Sarah E. Newgeon in New Haven, Connecticut, on 25 December 1873, when he was 27 years old. After serving for five years in the regular United States Cavalry, Howard gained early experience with machine guns and in 1885 he was selected to go to Canada with two of the new “gatling guns”. He distinguished himself during the Battle of Batoche becoming so popular that he was given the nickname “Gat”. Remaining in Canada he divorced his wife in 1888 and later became a wealthy cartridge manufacturer. On the outbreak of the Anglo Boer War he joined the Royal Canadian Dragoons but when already in South Africa he was promoted Major and appointed as the organizing commander of the unit known as the Canadian Scouts. Arthur Howard was killed in action on 17 February 17 1901 and was later posthumously awarded the Distinguished Service Order (LG 11 December 1901). After Howard was killed in action on 17 February 1901 the Canadian Scouts continued as a corps of scouts, but it evolved into an irregular mounted corps of four squadrons, a machine gun battery, a troop of Black South African scouts, and a transport column, in all about 475 men. By this stage, however, most of the men in its ranks were not Canadians, but included men from throughout the British Empire. Known for disdaining standard military discipline, the Canadian Scouts gained a reputation as a group of hard-riding, implacable, and death-defying soldiers. They saw plenty of action and suffered a large number of casualties. While not officially a Canadian unit, the Scouts never lost their Canadian character, and certainly did nothing to diminish the impressive reputation earned by more conventional Canadian units.

John Hylbert Birkbeck was born at Giggleswickin Yorkshire on 5 September 1879. He was the son ofJohn Birkbeck and Rachel Wilhelmina Stansfield.

38

At the outbreak of the Anglo Boer war he was serving as a 2nd Lieutenant in the West India Regiment. However under the special provisions of Article 100, authorised by Royal Warrant on 30 May 1900,

he was permitted to resign from his regiment in order to serve alongside his father Captain John Birkbeck in South Africa.

On his arrival in South Africa he therefore joined Orpen’s Horse a newly established mounted Colonial Unit which served in the North Western Cape. In due course his father was placed in command of the Border Scouts at Upington, his son John Hylbert assuming the responsibility of Quartermaster.

Initially posted as Lieutenant, his QSA medal entitlement is recorded as Lieutenant and no as captain as named on his QSA medal however his biographical outline recorded in The Charter House Register 1872-1910 indicates that he served as Quarter-Master-Capt., Border Scouts. Similarly, the relevant supplementary KSA medal roll records him with the three initials “H.E.J.” rather than simply “H.J.”.

The name “Birkbeck” of the Upington Border Scouts has great significance in South African numismatics. His father, Major John Birkbeck, was responsible for the conception and issue of the so-called banknotes of the Border Scouts. These were “printed” on variable pieces of army khaki and other coloured cloth due to the shortage of paper. He died on 2 June 1915 and was buried in Cape Town. Sold with copied medal roll.

Col. J.B. Backhouse.The incident that probably led to the award of Tatton’s DCM took place on 19 November 1900 during Gen.Ben Viljoen’s attack on Balmoral (p 67 of above): “The 6-in howitzer, the only gun in camp, ably handled by Sergeant Tatton, RGA, did excellent work.One shell placed on South West Hill, soon after it was captured, killed two Boers and wounded threeothers, but failed to burst, or it would have done more damage. Another shell put one of the Boer gunsout action, and another obliged the pom-pom to retire. In all 48 shells were fired in various directionsduring the six hours the attack lasted, and to those who know what a howitzer of this size is like, thehard work can be imagined.” On the night of 18 May 1901 a party of Boers tried to cross the railway near Balmoral. On the first shotbeing fired at them, the shell burst in the howitzer and blew it to bits. Two gunners (including Tatton’sbrother) were killed and Sgt. Tatton and 9 more were injured. He was Mentioned in Despatches in the London Gazette of 10 September 1901 and the award of the DCMwas published in the London Gazette of 27 September 1901.During WWI Tatton must have served in the United Kingdom, as his MIC confirms the award of the singleBWM.Contact marks on earlier awards and KSA suspender wobbly.

THE DEFENCE OF KIMBERLEY

LOT 234

234. – Kimberley Medal unnamed EF 22.000 – 25.000The suppressed forerunner to the Kimberley Star. Initially organised by the Town Authorities this medal was struck in England but never issued. It had to bemelted down by the Authorities owing to their unsanctioned use of the Royal cipher on the reverse of themedal.It is not known how many were struck but few have survived.

The so-called Kimberley Star must surely take pride of place amongst the various locally presented South African tribute medals. The desire of the Siege Mayor, Mr Henry Alfred Oliver, who was later awarded the CMG for the role he played during the Siege, to ensure that the services rendered by all the gallant defenders were recognised is well known.

His tribute, which was evidently financed from his own pocket, was unfortunately not recognised as an official award and there was great disappointment when it was ruled that this six pointed star could not be worn in uniform.

Although the general literature tends to highlight strikings with an “a” date hallmark, stars with a “b”, “c” and “d” hall marks are well known and are clear evidence that the medals were very well received. At that time the cost of the labour involved in manufacturing the stars was small in comparison to the cost of silver and one might presume that this was perhaps one of the key reasons why the initial medal was suppressed.

Numerous die varieties of the star are known – some with the centre coat of arms medallion struck heavily incuse, others high in relief while the rays and the centre of the stars are hollow which necessitated that the hall mark was re-stamped on the obverse after manufacture.

TRIBUTE MEDALS

Before the early 1960’s there was limited interest in the so-called Unofficial Medals of the Anglo-Boer War and it was not until the Second South African Numismatic Convention held in Cape Town in January 1964 that the two foremost medal collectors in Cape Town, Bill Hibbard and Frank Mitchell, put on a joint exhibit of some 30 different Tribute Medals. In 1967, at the Third National Convention held in Durban, Bill went one step further and not only did he exhibit and present a paper on these interesting medals but he released his first publication “Military Commemorative Medals of the South African War 1899-1902” which included both detailed descriptions and photographs of all the different medals known to him at that time. Fifteen years later Bill, with the support of the well-known numismatic photographer Gerald Hoberman, published his crowning achievement simply titled “Boer War Tribute Medals” which now described more than 80 different medals. It was during this period, after his retirement from the University of Cape Town that Bill found a new home as the numismatic specialist at City Coins and the following lots of these increasingly popular medals offered for sale is a small tribute to him. The collection he formed is now housed in the National Army Museum in the UK. The following Tribute medals have been catalogued according to the Hibbard publication “Boer War Tribute Medals”, a copy of the limited edition and out of print book is offered at the end of this section.

Here he met Louis Botha, a future comrade-in-arms. He married Anna Catharina Badenhorst and had three children (her death notice in file). In 1893 he was appointed Lieut in the Tvl police (ZARPS) and posted to Swaziland. He served in the Boer War with the Swaziland Burghers. He fought at Colenso and at Pieters Hill where he was carried from a trench after being concussed by a lyddite shell. He also fought at Barberton, Vryheid and Piet Retief. He was wounded at Itala in September 1901. A most competent soldier; he was mainly responsible for the British defeat at Scheepersnek and the capture of two guns at Bloedrivierpoort in September 1901 as well as for the destruction of Bethune’s Mounted Infantry. When attacking Major Valentin of Plumer’s Column at Onverwacht, near Ermelo on 4 January 1902 he was shot in the forehead within 20 metres of the enemy as he urged his men forward. His body lay on the field and his adjutant, M.W. Coetzer, and Willem Collins battled to load the 120kg body onto a horse. By then, the British columns were arriving at the top of the ridge and the Boers now became subjected

to artillery fire. In spite of all their efforts, they failed to recover the General’s body which was left on the field. Today he lies buried in Vryheid cemetery. – ABO Burg. P.J.

Pieter Jacobus Schoeman, a Cape Rebel from Nieu Bethesda, Graaff Reinet, joined Comdt W.Fouche’s Commando on 3 January 1901.He later served under another Rebel Commandant, G. Odendaal.In his ABO application he specifically mentioned that he took part in the skirmish at Zuurvlakte, AliwalNorth when Veldkornet Olivier was killed.Zuurvlakte is situated between Aliwal North and Jamestown.On the morning of 14 July 1901, a combined force of Commandant Willem Diederik Fouché andCommandant Myburgh lay in wait on a semi-circle of hills west of Zuurvlakte. A detachment ofConnaught Rangers under Major Moore moved from their bivouac at 8 am and came in touch withFouche’s advance parties at 10 am. Moore drove them back, and started advancing on the offensive.However, moving forward over the level veld, he soon had to deal with heavy fire from superior Boernumbers encircling him on high ground. The Rangers dug in with little more protection than that offered by some ant-hills and from noon till dusk they had to lay on the defensive. At dusk Moore could start an effective retreat. His men gained the protection of a line of rocks to the rearand as their opponents were now on the open ground they in turn began to lose considerably until it becametoo dark for aimed firing. The British lost 7 men killed and 3 officers and 17 men wounded.The Boers lost one man, the 21 year old Field-cornet Japie Olivier, who was shot through the spine andimmediately paralyzed.

284. – Burger H.J.F. Storm EF 4.000 – 4.700Hermanus Johannes Frederik Storm was born in the Cape Colony in 1866 to Christian Andrias andMaria Elizabeth Storm. He lived in East London and worked as a transport rider. Somewhere during histravels, he met Anna Sophia Vogel who lived in Chelmsford, Newcastle, Colony of Natal. They weremarried at Chelmsford on 8 April, 1889. They had four children.

By the outbreak of the Second Anglo-Boer War in 1899, Hermanus was living on the farm Sterkfontein inthe District of Zoutpansberg in the far north of the South African Republic and he joined General Beyersunder the Zoutpansberg Commando. General Beyers operated in the Pietersburg area, which also happenedto be the area in which the Bushveld Carbineers under Harry “Breaker” Harbord Morant was operating.

Breaker Morant’s court-martial was in full swing when on 22 January 1902 General Beyers successfullyattacked and took the concentration camp at Pietersburg, recovering some 151 fighting fit men. The

59

success of this attack undoubtedly gave General Beyers’ Burgers a boost and they planned to attack Pietersburg on 24 January with the specific purpose of capturing horses. Unfortunately, one of the recently released leaked the plans to the British and the next day, the British were ready, including Breaker Morant who, was released temporarily to aid in the defence of the town. The attack was a disaster and at the end, Field Cornet Venter, Fanie Botha, Christiaan Bierman (son of Commandant Bierman) and Hermanus Storm lay dead. Hermanus’ wife successfully applied for his Anglo-Boer War Medal in 1928. Sold with copious military and civil documentation and an emotive illustrated article from Die Huisgenoot 19 January 1951 Verraad in eie kamp, describing the attack on Pietersburg.

Calvinia joined September 1901 till end of War served Calvinia; Namakwaland; Darling; Fraserburg;Richmond etc. 2. Bloemhof Kommando Magersfontein and Paardeberg POW St Helena. Sold with documents.

286. – Burger G.L. Strydom VF 1.800 – 2.400 Gideon Lourens Strydom was a Cape Rebel of the farm Kameeldoorn in the Vryburg District. He joined in 1901 and served under the Rebel Commandants A. van der Merwe and J. Theron, seeing action at Klipfontein and Sandbult.

He laid down arms at Vryburg where he was sentenced under Proclamation 100 of 1902 on 26 June 1902. When he applied for his ABO medal in July 1942 he must have laid his anti-British sentiments to rest because he was serving as a Private, No 65385, in the 1st Transvaal Battallion, Voortrekkerhoogte, Pretoria. This probably entitled him to a War Medal and Africa Service Medal. Skimmed & officially re-impressed.

Provenance: Spink Sale 1264, 30 November 2000, Lot 294 (price realized 2530 pounds). 1. M.C. LG 3.6.1919. Capt. Osmund Hornby Warne, Manch. R. attd. 21st Balloon Co., 4th Bty., Egyptian

Army “ for distinguished service in connection with Military Operations in Egypt”. 2. M.I.D. unconfirmed. 3. Egypt, Order of the Nile, Insignia Fourth Class LG 21.9.1923.

Note: For some reason the London Gazette reference confirming Warne’s M.C. would appear to suggest that the 21st Balloon Company formed part of the 4th Battery, Egyptian Army, whilst in fact the 21st Balloon Company formed part of the Palestine Brigade R.F.C. (later R.A.F.).

Warne’s papers indicate that he served with the Egyptian Expeditionary Force from September 1917 until October 1918 being attached to the 21st Balloon Company, Palestine Brigade R.F.C. (later R.A.F) (Royal Air Force, Middle East). He was awarded the M.C. for his services in action in Palestine, against the Turks and Germans, while attached to the 21st Balloon Company.

Major Osmund Hornby Warne, M.C., was born in January 1891, in Lancashire. He was originally commissioned into the South Staffordshire Regiment as a 2nd Lieutenant in January 1912. Resigning his commission in April 1914, Warne was mobilized from the Special Reserve on the outbreak of World War One, and witnessed active service in Togoland during August 1914. Warne was employed with the Egyptian army from December 1915 and served in the Darfur Operations in 1916. He was subsequently commissioned into the Manchester Regiment in July 1916 (from the Special Reserve), and promoted to the rank of Captain. Warne remained employed with the Egyptian Army until January 1925, where after he was attached to the Sudan Defence Force until the end of the year. Warne then returned to the 2nd Battalion Manchester Regiment now based in India and was advanced to the rank of Major in February 1929. He served with the Regiment during the Burma operations prior to retiring in January 1933 (the battalion having returned to the UK in 1932). Upon the outbreak of World War Two, Warne was called up from the Regular Army Reserve of Officers, and served with the Manchester Regiment until the end of the war, at one time being attached to the Air Ministry and later, holding the Local Rank of Lieutenant Colonel in North Africa between 1943 and 1944. Other than being a professional soldier, Warne had some intriguing talents. In 1917 he found time to register a Great Britain patent regarding improvements to motor car bodies. Warne describes himself as an inventor. In later years Warne became a travel writer. His publications included the following titles Present Day Morocco, Your Guide to Turkey, Your Guide to Sardinia, Portugal, the Nagel Travel Guide Series. According to the Order of Battle of the Egyptian Expeditionary Force, September 1918, the 21st Balloon Company (Section Nos 49, 50 and 57) (headquarters at Sarona) formed part of the 5th (Corps) Wing, Palestine Brigade R.A.F., ROYAL AIR FORCE, MIDDLE EAST. GENERAL HEADQUARTERS TROOPS. Its principle responsibility was to spot for the artillery batteries in their vicinity. An extract from an account of his experiences with No. 49 Section written by Lieutenant H.R.P. Collett indicates as follows:

“An observer of No. 47 Section noted that from their “letting up position’ at Sheikh Shabasi he could see every house in Gaza 12000 yards away. The Section remained at Sheikh Shabasi until the time of the successful attack on Gaza and they then moved forward to a camp at Saris, just off the road leading north towards Jerusalem. The balloons had already been fired on by Turkish aircraft and artillery and shortly before the surrender of Jerusalem one was shot down”.

The War in the Air by H.A. Jones offers some perspective: “The work of observation, particularly for the fire of the artillery, had been greatly helped by the Balloon sections. In January 1918 there were two sections in Palestine, Nos. 49 and 50, the former with the XX Corps in the hilly country on the right, and the latter with the XXI Corps in the coastal area. In the middle of March (1918), a new Section, No. 54, arrived on the front and relieved No. 49 Section, which was transferred to the coast to reinforce No. 50 Section. No. 54 Section had little luck. The

73

country which the observers saw from their basket was very broken and it was not easy for them to obtain useful information. Furthermore, the balloon was frequently attacked by German aeroplanes. On the 8th May (1918) it had reached a height of 5,300 feet –a record at that time for a balloon in Palestine—and was about to be hauled down when it was set on fire by an enemy pilot. The observer, Lieutenant W.H. Hargreaves, jumped, but some of the bridles of his parachute had been cut by bullets and it failed to open. On the following day the balloons of two of the Sections in the western area were likewise destroyed by enemy aeroplanes, but the observers reached ground safely with their parachutes. Owing to the disappointing results obtained by No. 54 Section on the hills, the balloon was withdrawn in May (1918) and the Section was disbanded. In July (1918) a new Section, No. 57, was added to the strength of the 21st Balloon Company and began work in the coastal area early in August (1918). During this month the three sections provided observation for 316 “shoots” with the artillery, a majority of the targets being enemy batteries. As an example of the amount of work which could be done by one balloon observer it may be mentioned that on a day in August (1918) Lieutenant L.W. Baker (D.F.C. London Gazette 1 January 1919, sold D.N.W., 16 December 2003, price realized 3335 pounds) helped to register gun-fire on thirty-two enemytargets, a feat which kept him in the air for five and a half hours. The methodical work of the balloonobservers may not appear exciting, but it contributed a not unimportant share to the final victory. In theneighbourhood of the coast in particular the country was well suited to balloon observation and thevisibility was usually good, especially in the mornings and in the evenings when the enemy area wasgiven a sharp definition by the slanting rays of the sun. The balloon observers had completed their bestwork on the day when the September (1918) offensive opened. On the first day of the attack they addedsome useful information about Turkish movements and they received, by heliograph, a few importantmessages from the advancing British infantry, but the rate of progress became so rapid that this form ofobservation could no longer be employed and the balloons were deflated “.

BIDDING GUIDELINES: QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

This Postal Auction features a special bidding system that has been in place for decades. It has led to unexpected benefits for many a bidder. Nothing ventured, nothing gained: so send in your bid(s) – and see what happens! Refer as well to the Conditions of Sale on the next page. I will endeavour to post the first provisional list of prices realised late Monday or Tuesday. A notification to this effect will be placed on the website and emailed to you.

Q: WHAT ARE THE BIDDING ADVANTAGES OF THE CITY COINS POSTAL AUCTION? A: With any live Auction you are bound to the numerical sequence of the catalogue lot numbers. If you are interested in a lot that is in the middle (or the end of the catalogue) and you lose out in acquiring it you are not able to go back to a lot that is in the beginning of the catalogue. With a Postal Auction you can manage your bid in a number of ways: - You can indicate your priorities irrespective of numerical sequence.- You can add notes that if you are not successful in your first choice you can increase your bid on the itemsthat follow by either a percentage value or a stipulated amount. Many bidders are confronted with an amountin excess of their budget providing they acquire all items – with a Postal Auction the Auctioneer can act onyour behalf. Contact me personally regarding budget payment options (if required).- The bidder can ensure a degree of success by notifying the auctioneer of the wish list/and or budget. Youcan also in terms of your priority list specify a total amount that you wish to spend and how it should bespent.- “Buy at best” or “unlimited amount” bids are not allowed. - You can bid any amount (i.e. R1217 or R63) as you are not limited to set bid increments.

Q: HOW DO I COMPLETE THE BIDDING FORM? A: Print your name and contact details, including phone numbers which are essential, clearly on the enclosed bidding form (if submitting a P.O. Box number, please supply an alternative street address for courier delivery purposes in the event of a successful bid) and then enter the lot number(s) you wish to bid on in numerical sequence (where possible) with a brief description and maximum bid amount, e.g. lot ZZZ, Six medals to Smith, RZZZ. Please sign and date the form. Fax or e-mail us your bid sooner rather than later to ensure that you are in the front of the queue. You can increase or decrease your bid anytime without losing your place in the queue. Bids are recorded as they reach us, taking date and time into consideration. Please confirm that your bids have been received and recorded.

Q: HOW DO I SUBMIT MY BID? A: Submit your bids to City Coins in any of the following ways: EMAIL: auctions@citycoins.co.za PHONE: (+27) (0)21 4252639 (24hr answering service) followed by written confirmation. FAX: (+27) (0)21 4253939 PLEASE EMAIL, PHONE OR FAX THROUGH YOUR BIDS. BIDS ARE NOT REGISTERED UNLESS EMAIL CONFIRMATION HAS BEEN RECEIVED BY YOU FROM CITY COINS. The SA Postal Service is unreliable, thus no reply envelope has been included as previously.

Q: HOW ARE MY BIDS RECORDED BY CITY COINS? A: Bids are entered in the bid book, in strict confidentiality, according to date and time received.

Q: HOW ARE BIDS ADJUDICATED? A: A specific lot is allocated to the person with the highest bid by means of an increment above the second highest bid received and not for the maximum bid unless the margin between the previous bid and highest bid is minimal. Lots are always knocked down at one notch above the second highest bid or at the reserve price (if only one bid is recorded).If identical top bids are received from different bidders, the first bid received will be deemed to be successful. As a purely Postal Auction there is no “ghost” bidder. The closing of the Auction is done personally by Natalie Jaffe (who has finalised the Auctions for decades and this takes time as the computer does not note individual bidding requests. Therefore the final results can take a while; your patience would be appreciated. The auction can be viewed on www.citycoins.com. E-mail your queries to nataliejaffe@citycoins.co.za
