The Baronet's Badge worn by Sir F. H. Newnes, 2nd Baronet Newnes of Wildcroft, a leading turn of the century newspaperman and Liberal politician, son of the 'Founding Father of Popular Journalism' Sir George NewnesBaronet's neck Badge, silver-gilt and enamel, the reverse inscribed 'Newnes of Wildcroft 1895', hallmarked for London 1929, good very fine, in its fitted case of issue[C.B.E.] London Gazette 10 June 1954.Frank Hillyard Newnes was born in Manchester, the son of Sir George Newnes and his wife Priscilla. His father was a Liberal Politician and founder of the publisher George Newnes Ltd., his periodicals Tit-bits and The Strand Magazine are considered forerunners of Modern Popular journalism. The younger Newnes attended Clare College, Cambridge and graduated with an M.A. and L.L.B. in 1897.He joined his father's publisher that same year and worked there for many years, also following him into politics to become the Liberal M.P. for Bassetlaw, North Nottinghamshire in 1906. He managed to take the seat from the Conservatives however lost it again in the next election in January 1910. The same year his father died and Newnes inherited the baronetcy as well as the publishing business.Newnes married Emmeline de Rutzen, the daughter of Sir Albert de Rutzen, Chief Metropolitan Magistrate at Bow Street, in 1913. After the outbreak of the Great War the next year he decided to join up, being commissioned Sub-Lieutenant in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve in 1915. He did not remain in that service however, transferring to the Army and being advanced Captain with the 12th Battalion, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire Regiment. Notably he did not see any service entitling him to Campaign medals, as such this badge is his only named entitlement.After the war Newnes became Director of a number of companies in the publishing trade, as well as Chairman of Country Life Ltd. He was the Director of his father's publication, The Westminster Gazette, a Liberal newspaper which Prime Minister Gladstone allowed to be decorated with the Party's green colours, leading to it being dubbed 'Pea-Green Incorruptible'.Outside of the political and publishing worlds, Newnes was deeply involved in matters of public health. He joined the Voluntary Hospitals Committee for London and was a member of the management committees of the Royal Free Hospital and its Medical School. He also became Chairman of the Post-Graduate Institute of Dental Surgery and the Eastern Dental Hospital, the latter being the reason for his award of the C.B.E. Furthermore, he was President of the Printers Pension Corporation and Vice President of the Periodical Proprietors Association.Newnes later died in Western Australia on 10 July 1955; sold together with copied research including a biography of Sir George Newnes (the recipient's father).…

London Gazette 24 June 1919.M.I.D. London Gazette 23 October 1914; 11 August 1917.Albert William Stone was born on 20 June 1888 in Gosport, Hampshire, the third of four children born to Private Albert Stone and his wife Rebecca. Albert Stone Senior was a Private in the Portsmouth Division of the Royal Marine Light Infantry, later dying in the service at Portsea in 1892 after having taken part in the Witu Expedition in East Africa.The younger Stone received a naval education and attended the Royal Hospital School at Greenwich, a school for the sons of poor sailors, where he learned navigation and seamanship skills. The school was known as the 'cradle of the Navy' for producing notable officers and personnel. He later enlisted into the Royal Navy in May 1903, when he was fifteen years old, as a Boy Writer with the H.M.S. Duke of Wellington naval barracks. Stone enjoyed a number of postings, including aboard Majestic, Caesar, Firequeen, Victory, Hecla, Forward, and Skirmisher as he moved through the clerical ranks. Upon the outbreak of the First World War, he was serving as a Writer 1st Class aboard H.M.S. Amethyst. Stone was likely a member of Commodore Reginald Tyrwhitt's personal staff as he followed him nearly exactly from ship to ship, thus serving with a wide variety of Harwich Force cruisers during the War.The Battle of Heligoland Bight on 28 August 1914 - the first naval battle of the War between the British and the Germans - saw Stone mentioned in dispatches for service during the action whilst aboard the light cruiser H.M.S. Arethusa. Arethusa was Tyrwhitt's flagship during the battle, and played an active role in the naval engagement. She helped to sink two German torpedo boats early that morning, and was badly damaged by the German defence. By the end of the day Britain scored a decisive victory, losing just 35 men to Germany's 1,500. Stone was still serving aboard Arethusa when she was mined off the coast of Felixstowe two years later on 11 February 1916, eventually running aground and breaking up. He next served aboard H.M.S. Cleopatra while she served in the raid on the German naval airship base at Tondern, also sinking German destroyer G-194, before colliding with fellow naval ship Undaunted in March 1919. After repairs, she took part in operations against the German naval bombardment of Lowestoft in April 1916 and numbered one of Tyrwhitt's force that found the German cruisers carrying out the raid. Stone thereafter joined the Harwich Force cruiser H.M.S. Carysfort in May 1916 when she was patrolling the North Sea and the Strait of Dover. This was but a brief appointment, and he was then with Centaur that September, also in the Harwich Force, and then on to her sister-ship H.M.S. Concord in February 1917. He was with her that June when she sank the German torpedo boat S20 in the North Sea. During this time, Stone was mentioned in despatches for the second time. His final wartime posting was aboard H.M.S. Curacao, the flagship of the 5th cruiser squadron in the Harwich Force, where he earned his M.S.M. for war time services. After the close of the First World War, Stone joined H.M.S. Cormorant with whom he received his L.S. & G.C.. He was finally advanced to Chief Petty Officer Writer while serving with Victory II in 1924, and was later promoted Warrant Writer on 5 December 1927 upon his retirement from the service. The exact date Stone was appointed to the Royal Household is not known, but he served in the office of the Privy Purse until his well-deserved retirement at age 69 in July 1957. He was appointed to the 5th Class of the Royal Victorian Order in January 1938 and was later promoted to the 4th Class in 1947, with the insignia being presented to him personally by King George VI. Stone was Chief Accountant but also acted as Serjeant-at-Arms under King George from 1947, and later for Queen Elizabeth II as well. He attended the Queen's Coronation in 1953, for which he carried the Mace as part of the Duke of Edinburgh's escort. He can be seen in the famous newsreel film of the event, as well as numerous photographs. Throughout his tenure with the Royal Household, Stone was awarded various foreign decorations from state visits and in January 1954 received his C.B.E..His long and illustrious career in the Royal Navy was supplemented by an equally illustrious career for the Royal Household. Stone finally retired in 1957, and later died in Durham on 27 August 1974 at Woodside House, the home of his niece with whom he was residing.Sold together with an original archive comprising:i)The recipient's dress miniatures: 1914-15 Star; British War and Victory Medals with M.I.D. oak leaves; Royal Navy L.S. & G.C., G.V.R.; M.S.M., G.V.R.; Jubilee 1935; Coronation 1937, mounted as worn, and Coronation 1953, mounted individually as worn, very fine (8) with some extra ribandsii)Fitted case for 4th Class M.V.O., by Collingwood Jewellersiii)Photo of Queen Elizabeth II with facsimile message and signature presented to Royal Household staff upon the occasion of her Coronation, framed but missing glassiv)The Illustrated London News, Coronation 1953 magazine with colour platesv)Booklet 'Statutes on the Order of the British Empire 1948'vi)Official Warrant for the appointment of 'Albert William Stone Esquire' to be Commander of the Order of the British Empire, signed by Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philipvii)Binder of comprehensive copied research and photographs, including a newspaper cutting of a photograph of Stone holding the Mace on the St. James's Palace Balcony as part of the Coronation ceremony, wearing his medals…

A rare campaign group of four awarded to Stoker Petty Officer B. J. Taylor, Royal Navy, who was present for the Battle of Cocos between H.M.A.S. Sydney and S.M.S.

Emden Medal 1914, silver, 32mm, presented by the people of Western Australia, named on the reverse (B. J. Taylor. Stoker P’y Off’r) fitted with usual ring for suspension; and H.M.A.S. Sydney - S.M.S. Emden Medal, 9 November 1914, silver Mexican 8 Réales dated ‘1876’, mounted by W. Kerr, Sydney, small chop marks to both sides, this last nearly very fine, otherwise good very fine (6)Benjamin James Taylor was born at Garston, Lancashire on 30 August 1881 and enlisted with the Royal Navy as a Stoker 2nd Class on 14 January 1901. His first service afloat was with Magnificent in July 1901 and he was still with her the next year when advanced Stoker on 18 February 1902. Further advanced Stoker 1st Class on 1 July 1906 and Leading Stoker on 7 September 1911 while stationed with Indus.Transferring to Vivid II Taylor was finally promoted Stoker Petty Officer on 10 September 1912. The next year he was loaned to the nascent Royal Australian Navy on 1 March 1913, arriving at H.M.A. London Depot that same day.Sydney - EmdenTaylor was posted to Sydney on 27 June 1913 and was still with her when the war began as she steamed north to join the battlecruiser H.M.A.S. Australia. They were assigned to the Australian Naval and Military Expeditionary Force which seized New Guinea in September 1914. With the Pacific swiftly secured Australian troops were to be deployed to Egypt and Sydney was ordered to escort the first convoy out in November 1914.At the same time Emden was coming to the end of her epic voyage of destruction through the Indian Ocean. Her next target was the Communications station on the Cocos Islands which she succeeded in knocking out on 9 November, however not before a distress signal was sent. The troop convoy picked up this signal and Sydney was sent out to investigate the disturbance.Newly constructed Sydney had superior speed, armour and firepower to Emden however Captain Jessop was not aware of his opponents' capabilities. As such he agreed with the gunnery officer to open fire at a range of 9,500 yards which he believed to be outside her range. This was not the case however and it was Emden which opened the batting, opening fire and scoring hits on her fourth volley, damaging the aft rangefinders.Emden's only hope was to cause as much damage as possible while the surprise of her attack lasted. However Sydney was in the fight now, the obvious decision would be to use her superior speed to increase the range and batter Emden from afar however the damage to her rangefinders meant that increasing the range would reduce the accuracy of her gunnery. As such she missed with her first two salvoes, destroying Emden's wireless office and her forward gun.As the battle continued Sydney's speed and firepower began to tell, soon destroying the German vessel's steering gear and knocking out a number of guns. Another volley toppled the forward funnel and a shell landed in her aft magazine, forcing the Emden's crew to flood it. Eventually with only one gun still firing, both funnel's collapsed and the engine room ablaze Emden beached on North Keeling Island. Captain Glossop ordered Sydney to ceasefire and signalled the troop convoy 'Emden beached and done for'.Epilogue Taylor continued to serve with Sydney for much of the rest of the war, being returned to the Royal Navy on 23 January 1918. Posted to Adventure on 27 August he saw convoy duty with her until 11 August 1919 and went ashore for the final time. He was finally discharged on 9 June 1922, having earned a war gratuity for his service including the Emden action; sold together with copied service papers.… 25001 SALEROOM NOTICE:Lot is NOT subject to 5% Import Tax. 

A very fine 1945 M.M. group of four awarded to Private S. K. May, Cameron Highlanders, who was present during the Fall of Tobruk; on that day the Battalion marched into captivity to the skirl of their pipesMilitary Medal, G.VI.R. (2929616 Pte. S. K. May. Camerons.); 1939-45 Star; Africa Star; War Medal 1939-45, very fine (4)M.M. London Gazette 11 October 1945.Stanley Kitchener May was born at West Derby, Lancashire on 9 June 1916, the son of Robert and Ellen May. He enlisted in Liverpool on 29 August 1939 and was posted to the 2nd Battalion Cameron Highlanders, being sent to Middle East. They were part of the British garrison caught at Tobruk in June 1942 by the German counterattack in the Middle East.The final attack occurred on 20 June with the Camerons being isolated by a sharp offensive which saw German panzers taking the centre of the city that same day. May was listed missing on 21 June 1942 and taken prisoner of war, the Battalion made quite the impression as they went into captivity with an account of their march given by Sergeant Lloyd, South African Armed Forces, to Outspan magazine:'It was mid-day when we heard it. Faintly at first and then louder it came, a rhythmic swinging sound, unexpected but unmistakable - the skirl of pipes. We scrambled out of our shelters to look, and saw, swinging along bravely as though they were marching to a ceremonial parade, a tiny column of men, led by the pipes and a drum, with the Drum-Major striding ahead. Silence fell as they came, and the drum tapped the pace for a moment as the pipers gathered their breath. Then, as they wheeled in towards us, they broke into Pitbroch o'Donuil Dhu with all the gay lilt of the Highlands and all the defiance and feeling any Scot can call out on his pipes. Smartly they march to attention, and halted as if on parade. To the strains of their regimental march the Camerons had come in to surrender'May was taken initially to Camp No 78 at Sulmona, Italy and later Stalag 11b/357, Fallingbostel, Germany. He was reported liberated on 9 June 1945, likely at Fallingbostel which was the first P.O.W. camp to be liberated. It should be noted that no recommendation has been found for the award however it is likely either related to his actions at Tobruk or time as a P.O.W.A passenger list has him going from Liverpool to Wellington, New Zealand in 1950 where he appears to have been working. May was living at Upper Hutt, Wellington and made a living as a rubber worker between 1950 and 1981.Sold together with copied research and an archive of original material including:i)A Regimental tie.ii)Soldier's pay book.iii)Soldier's release book.iv)Two army forms named to the recipient.v)A compliment slip from the New Zealand High Commissioner.vi)Medal slip of issue.vii)A spare strip of M.M. riband.viii)A named message of congratulations from the King.ix)All contained within an original war office medal box of issue named to the recipient.…

Archer, India and British Portraiture 1770-1825, p.108-109, ill. plate 63 John Thomas Seton (circa 1735 - circa 1806) was a Scottish painter who travelled to India in 1776. Prior to this, Seton was taught in London by Francis Hayman, where he also studied at the St Martin's Academy. In his twenties, Seton went on the Grand Tour to Italy, travelling to Rome where he helped to buy paintings for Lord Bute's collection. On his return, he settled in Edinburgh where he painted the portraits of Scotland's high society figures of the day. It is unclear what the exact motivations were for Seton to go to India, but the Scottish community in India was substantial, and in her book, Mildred Butler suggests Seton may have believed he was going to a home from home. At this time Tilly Kettle, was achieving notable success in India. Between 1761 and 1772, Seton exhibited at the Society of Artists, which means he was almost certainly familiar with Tilly Kettle's portrait of the Nawab of Arcot and his sons, which was exhibited in 1771. Bearing this in mind, a move to the continent must have seemed a promising gamble for an struggling artist working in Britain such as Seton. Leave was granted to Seton in November 1775, and by August 1776, Seton had arrived in Calcutta, about five months after Kettle had left. Seton's reputation grew quickly, and in 1780, he was commissioned to paint the present lot; a wedding portrait of Joseph Champion and his wife, Ann Forbes. The pair are depicted sitting on a bench, which opens on to the Indian landscape, where an elephant can be seen with his rider in the background to the left. The wedding took place on 12 May, and both Mr and Mrs Champion are depicted holding palm-leaf fans to combat the hot weather. The portrait must have pleased the Champions as three years later Joseph commissioned to further, half-length, portraits of himself and his wife (these were sold at Christie's, 17 March 1978). Champion was a company servant who had been posted to India in 1778. A year later he was made Paymaster to the Cavalry Brigade, and the following year, in 1780, he and Ann were married. Champion showed a keen interest in Persian literature, publishing three books on the subject; Poems Imitated from the Persian; The Poems of Ferdosi, and Essays Characteristic of Persian Poetry. These works were all published in India, and demonstrate Champion's enthusiasm for and knowledge of Persian poets and poetry, in contrast to works of Classical Greek, Roman and English poets which were often the focus of the Western world. An anonymous reviewer in The Monthly Review, August 1790, described Champion as the 'Persian Homer'. (New Catalogue, pp.329-31). In 1784, Champion became a member of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. He also wrote his own poetry; in 1786 he published a compilation entitled Poems addressed to Mrs Champion, by her affectionate husband, dedicated to his wife, who was described as 'the most handsomest woman that ever left Europe of India' ('Obituary of Considerable Persons; with Biographical Anecdotes', The Gentleman's Magazine 61, June, 1792, p.576). Ann died in October 1791, at the age of twenty eight, and this seems to have induced Joseph to suffer a mental breakdown. In 1792, after sailing back to England, the Calcutta directors of the company wrote to the Court of Directors asking for a subsistence allowance for him during the 'suspension...of his mental facilities' and no loss of rank should he return to his duties (Fort William XI, p. 470). Champion appears not to have returned to India, and according to pension books at the India Office Library in London, the firm continued to pay an allowance to his guardians until his death, which is believed to have been around 1813. Condition Report: The canvas has been lined. Some very light surface dirt. Light craquelure throughout. There is some evidence of very light paint loss scattered throughout, including to the sitters' faces, however this is barely noticeable and is the paint surface now appears to be stable. Some small patches of overpaint are visible in a raking light, including to the tree area above the elephant. Inspection under UV light reveals scattered retouching throughout, as well as a heavy varnish. Country of origin: IndiaCondition Report Disclaimer
