London Gazette 3 August 1916, 25 September 1917 and 5 June 1919. Charles Thorburn was born at Kerfield in 1881, and was the twin the son of Sir Walter Thorburn, M.P. of Peebleshire. He ‘took up a military career on completing his education at Blairlodge. He served throughout the South African War with the Royal Scots Fusiliers, in which he held the rank of captain, and took part in the relief of Mafeking. At the end of the Boer War he took up business pursuits in Central Africa. On the outbreak of the Great War his offer of service was accepted, and for some time he was in charge of defences with the King’s African Rifles. When the war ended he took up residence in Peebles, holding the rank of major on the Retired List of Officers.... In his youth Major Thorburn was a keen sportsman. He played rugby for Edinburgh Wanderers and Selkirk, and was secretary and a playing member of Peebles County Cricket Club. He engaged in big game hunting while in India and Africa, and presented of his trophies to the Peebles Museum.’ (Obituary refers) Thorburn was appointed to the command of the Nyasaland Volunteer Reserve, 4 August 1914, and carried out operations with them in German East Africa, and Lake Nyasa: ‘The Adventure under her captain, Volunteer Leonard John Boardman, accompanied by Major Thorburn of the N.V.R., sailed into Spinxhaven in October [1914] to find it deserted. They took the opportunity to destroy a German workshop there and to inflict further damage to the Wissman [German Lake Steamer]. Sadly, shortly after this, on the night of 28-29 October the Adventure hit a rock at Muluka on the Portuguese East African coast, was wrecked, abandoned and sank.... The N.V.R. unit sent to Karonga has been reported of consisting of either 53 or 56 Volunteers including two officers. The officers might have been Thorburn, J. M. Purves, their transport officer, and/or J. C. Casson, their supply officer, making 55 to 56 in all. Fewer than 100 men of the N.V.R. qualified for the 1914-15 Star and about two thirds of these awards would have been made to those who were engaged in the actions at Karonga and Kasoa...’ (Cinderella’s Soldiers (The Nyasaland Volunteer Reserve) by P. Charlton refers) Thorburn was mentioned in the despatch of Lieutenant-Colonel G. M. P. Hawthorn, dated Zomba 11 October 1915: ‘Lieutenant, Temporary Captain C. Thorburn, Reserve of Officers. Has commanded the base and lines of communications from the commencement of the war. He has performed his duties very industriously, and arranged most satisfactorily for transport of troops and supplies from the sea coast to the lake.’ Thorburn’s time, and reputation, in Nyasaland is recalled by R. Tremlett in The Road to Ophir: “Could you wire my boss in Nyasaland for fare? I’m sure he will pay it.” “Yes, I’ll do that. Who is he?” When I mentioned the name the Consul laughed. “Champagne Charlie Thorburn? Well, you’ll surely have a time with him! Yes, I’ll wire him right away... How on earth did you get in touch with Champagne Charlie? “It was on the ship from England to South Africa,” I replied. “I had just left Cambourne School of Mines, in Cornwall, where I had done a course in assaying and mine surveying; and was on the way to my father, who had fixed a mining job for me. But I preferred to go with Thorburn to Nyasaland, and here I am.” I did not tell him all the details of that momentous trip.... At Southampton, where I had joined the ship, I was told that I should be sharing a cabin with a Major Thorburn; and as soon as we met I realised that our cabin was to be a lively place. He weighed eighteen stones and had the clear blue eyes and rosy complexion of a schoolboy.... Although his luggage was as yet unpacked, a bottle of champagne stood in an ice bucket in the cabin; and the room was filled with friends who had come to say good-bye. Some years before, one of them told me, Charlie had resigned his commission in the regular army to settle in Nyasaland, then the Cinderella of Central Africa; for the way to it was long and intricate, and transport charges high. In a few years he had risen to create from the jungle vast tobacco and cotton estates; and to make, in prosperous years, ten thousand pounds. He was known from Johannesburg to Nairobi as Champagne Charlie, Nyasaland’s tobacco king; and everyone loved him. At night I sat in the smoking-room and listened to the tales he told; stories of wild barbarism in Central Africa; of lions and strange native customs; and, in particular, of the carefree life where excitement beckoned from every tropical mountain top....’ During 1915, Thorburn had also been involved in the proceedings of the Chilembwe Commission of Inquiry after the John Chilembwe Rebellion of that year. He was mentioned in the despatch of the Governor of Nyasaland London Gazette 3 August 1916: ‘I have been much in contact with the work of Captain Thorburn. In addition to his duties connected with the Base and Lines of Communication, he has rendered important services as Commanding Officer of the Nyasaland Volunteer Reserve, and I was able to mention him specially in connection with the native rising in January, 1915. I feel that I cannot speak too highly of the valuable assistance he has rendered in many directions, and of his cheerfulness and indefatigability at all times.’ Major Thorburn returned to Peebles, and died there in September 1938.

The fine Ashantee 1873-74 medal awarded to Captain A. W. Baker, known as “Baker of the Bobbies”, who distinguished himself as Commissioner of Armed Police, Cape Coast Castle and Inspector-Commandant of Police in Trinidad Ashantee 1873-74, 1 clasp, Coomassie (Capt: Baker, Commr. Of Police, Cape Coast Castle, 73-74) very fine and a rare award to a Special Service Officer £800-£1,000 --- Provenance: Dix Noonan Webb, December 2003 and September 2006. Arthur Wybrow Baker was the son of the Reverend John Durand Baker of Bishop’s Tawton, Barnstaple, and the brother of Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Durand Baker, K.C.B. (whose medals were sold in these rooms in March 2005). Baker was educated at Rugby, originally commissioned into the 66th Regiment in July 1862, and was advanced to lieutenant in August 1865. Sometime thereafter, having obtained a captaincy, he resigned his commission and travelled to Africa, where, as the following letter to Downing Street from Major-General Wolseley reveals, he volunteered his services to the British cause in 1873: ‘I cannot over state the importance of having this post [Inspector-General of Police] filled at the present moment by an able organizer, and by a man full of energy and of great physical health and strength. No one but a military man would be fit for it, as the efficiency of this police force will depend largely upon the manner in which strict discipline is maintained in it. The management of bodies of armed men is an art that few possess intuitively, and is one that can only be acquired by military service. I have therefore selected Captain A. W. Baker, late of the 66th Regiment, who, having left the army, is one of the many similarly circumstanced who have recently come to the coast at their own expense to join the force under my command. He is no relation of mine and I never heard of him until quite recently, but I have selected him for what I consider to be his especial fitness for the post of Inspector-General of Police. The force at present numbers 438 men, but its efficiency is by no means what it ought to be. It has been hurriedly collected and time has not admitted its organization and the selection of men enlisted being properly attended to: much remains to be done before it can really be a thoroughly efficient force. Captain Baker assumed command of it today [16 December 1873] as explained to your Lordship in my despatch previously alluded to ...’ As evidenced by Wolesley’s subsequent despatch regarding the Coomassie operations, dated 7 February 1874, Baker quickly knocked his police force into shape: ‘The police duties in connection with the recent military operations have been most effectively performed by Captain Baker, Inspector-General of Police. He has rendered the force under my command most valuable service and his zeal and energy mark him out as peculiarly suited for the post he occupies ...’ After his success in Africa, Baker went on to be employed as part of the Police Service in Trinidad. He was appointed Inspector Commandant of Police in 1877, Inspector Commandant & Inspector of Weights & Measures in 1881, and as Inspector of Prisons in 1904. The following is given in The Years of Revolt, Trinidad 1881-1888 by Fr. A. de Verteuil, with regards to this period of his career: ‘Baker, the Chief of Police, Arthur Wybrow Baker was a man’s man. At this period he was over forty, but still a fine figure of a man, over six feet tall and broad in proportion, with dark black hair and moustache and striking eyes. He was a “broth of a boy” as the Irish say, with a loving wife and children. Keen on athletic sports, and well mannered on top of that, he was the clean type of man that everyone in that Victorian age could look up to. Even the French creoles who hated the English officials admired him; “With the exception of Captain Baker”, one wrote, “there is not a single one (of the English officials) that any man with the slightest pretension to respectability would introduce to his family or his club.” As a macho man he appealed to the lower class blacks who could measure his worth even on the purely physical level. As Inspector Commandant - Chief of Police - Baker had been an immediate success. A man of integrity and energy, of coolness in action and firmness in decision, possessing a close sense of identification with most of his men, he won their respect and the respect of all. Even “the very rowdies whom he kept down with a strong hand, admired him for his courage and fearlessness in tackling them”. As head of the Voluntary Fire Brigade, he graced their social functions, with his wife and was in the forefront to put out the frequent fires. When Carter’s Races (on 1st August, Emancipation Day) fell into decline, Captain Baker instituted athletic sports which afforded lots of sport to the police, soldiers and the general public for many years. Before his arrival in Trinidad, he had spent three years in the 66th Regiment in India, and was in command of the Houssas on the West Coast of Africa; and by 1884 he had been in command of the police in Trinidad for eight years. After he had been some years in Trinidad, he relaxed the reins a little and let his subordinate officers have more of a free hand. This was regrettable, as some of them at the very least, lacked sound judgement, and gave the police and Baker a bad name. As a man of colonial experience, he fitted in well with the circle of British officials in Trinidad and particularly with the commander of troops at the St. James Barracks. And so - “He was a man, take him for all in all”. But marred, fatally marred by the stamp of one defect. As a typical British official of the time, he looked down on all non-English mortals, and this in an age of growing Trinidad nationalism. In three years in India he had not acquired a word of Hindustani. So he bravely bore alone “the white man’s burden” to the end for better - or perhaps worse. A strong man, in more ways than one, his impact on Trinidad went beyond the police to politics.’ Sold with a photographic imaged of recipient in uniform, and copied research.

A large Chinese carved hardwood stand, 19th century,. height 9cm, inner diameter 22.9cm, outer diameter 30cm and seven other wooden stands.From the Estates of June Barrington Ward & Maggie Cameron Fraser‘Two Remarkable Ladies’June Barrington-Ward 1922-2002& Maggie Cameron Fraser 1923-2021 For several decades, two remarkable ladies lived contentedly in the remote farmhouse near Lanreath in Cornwall that they had restored and shared since the 1970s.June Barrington-Ward was a sculptor. She trained at Chelsea School of Art and exhibited widely during the 1960s & 70s. Her work featured in group shows in prestigious galleries and locations like the Royal Academy alongside artists such as Denis Mitchell, John Milne & Kim Lim. June was the daughter of Lancelot Barrington-Ward KCVO, a royal surgeon to King George VI and his family. He also played rugby for England. Her grandfather was the vicar of Duloe in Cornwall. Although her work was applauded by contemporary critics, she never pursued recognition. In the words of a family member “she didn’t seek fame and I believe she was simply happy to be left alone to make things.”Maggie Cameron Fraser was an academic who specialised in antique glass, a subject on which she wrote extensively and lectured at the Victoria & Albert Museum. Some of the very fine pieces in this sale were part of her treasured collection.They met during the Second World War. June, in the WRNS, drove ambulances in London and Maggie worked at Bletchley Park. For many years they shared a large property in Chiswick with a studio, until making the move to Cornwall.Maggie bought their magical house in North East Cornwall from the Carlyon Family in 1978. After renovating their home, they settled happily into retirement, Maggie astutely playing the stock market and June continuing to create sculpture. June died in 2002 and Maggie followed her last year.The home they left, and their wonderful collection of art and antiques, stand as a celebration and testament to their happy life together.The large stand has been re-glued between the top 'ring' and the base and with a few minor breaks. It is heavily water stained on the top. One bowl stand has a crack. The larger three lobed stand is missing a foot. Circular stands good. Please see images.
