'I Am Trimmer, You Know . . .' Lord Lovat in Evelyn Waugh's Newsletter_41.2 EVELYN WAUGH NEWSLETTER AND STUDIES Vol. 41, No. 2 Autumn 2010 ‘I am Trimmer, you know . .’ Lord Lovat in Evelyn Waugh’s Sword of Honour by Donat Gallagher James Cook University Call me foolhardy, but I am resolved to boldly go where Paul Johnson has already been threatened with violence. Some years ago Mr Johnson recounted a conversation he had with Simon Fraser, 15th Lord Lovat in which Lord Lovat said that he had ‘kicked Evelyn Waugh out’ of the Special Service Brigade ‘for the Brigade’s good.’ This, of course, had aroused Waugh’s ‘undying fury.’ Nor had Lovat mellowed. ‘By kicking [Waugh] out,’ he explained, ‘I saved his life.’ Lovat was alluding to very silly gossip that Waugh’s men would have shot him if he went into action. ‘But no good deed goes unpunished. He survived to write [Sword of Honour (1)] portraying me as a horrible hairdresser. For I am Trimmer, you know.’ In reply to Johnson, Lord Lovat’s doughty nephew, Sir Charles Maclean (son of Sir Fitzroy), virtually accused him of lying. Doubting that the conversation ‘actually took place,’ he promised Johnson a ‘Glasgow kiss’ if he ‘showed his florid mug north of the border.’[2] Improbable as it might seem to a loyal nephew that Lord Lovat—MacShimi of the Fraser Clan, proud heir to Beaufort Castle (that focus of Old Roman Catholic culture) and ‘dashing’ scion of celebrated generals—could be portrayed as a ‘horrible hairdresser,’ it is in fact very likely that Trimmer/McTavish reflects Lovat. And no one will doubt that Waugh drew the portrait in revenge for Lovat’s ‘kicking him out’ of the Commandos. The motto of the Scots Guards is ‘Nemo me impune lacessit’ (‘No one attacks me with impunity’): Lovat therefore had to punish the insulting portrait. And the Lovat family maxim—‘Hit them hard, hit them often and always below the belt’[3]—ensured that the punishment meted out would be extreme. Hence the amazingly vituperative, and almost purely fictional, counterattack on Waugh in Lovat’s memoir, March Past (233-36). Is Trimmer/McTavish a caricature of Lord Lovat? Some people ‘in the know’ have always believed that Trimmer ‘was’ Lovat, especially in his temporary shape of McTavish. Ann Fleming—the socialite gossip—teased Waugh: 'May I have permission … to imagine that Trimmer McTavish is Lord Lovat?'[4] More authoritatively, Sir Robert Laycock, for many years Lovat’s commanding officer, writing to thank Waugh for a specially bound copy of Officers and Gentlemen, asked: ‘Have you sent bound copies to Shimi, the Hairy Highlander and poor Colville (or was it Colvin?)?’[5] Lt Colonel Colvin is universally regarded as one of the ‘models’ for Major Hound in Sword of Honour; but does some other character in the novel reflect ‘Shimi, the Hairy Highlander’? In 1978 Alan Watkins, while making other identifications, said that ‘Trimmer … is based on Lord Lovat, with whom [Waugh] did not get on.’[6] And Auberon Waugh stated that Lovat ‘had been ridiculed as “Trimmer” in the war trilogy.’[7] On the other hand, readers (like the present writer) with no direct knowledge of the principals have tended to deny the identification, for man and character are at opposite ends of the social and heroic scales. Lord Lovat won the DSO at Dieppe: ‘Saw the film at Combined Operations Club,’ Waugh wrote. ‘Shimi Lovat did brilliantly, the only wholly successful part of the raid.’[8] By contrast, the ‘classless’ Trimmer—a.k.a. Gustave, the ladies’ hairdresser; a.k.a. Captain McTavish, the leader of ‘Popgun’—is an incompetent coward. Professor David Wykes puts the case for doubt: ‘[The identification] is certainly not deducible from the book itself … file:////uol.le.ac.uk/...c144/My%20Documents/Evelyn%20Waugh/Evelyn%20Waugh%20Studies/Newsletters/Newsletters/Newsletter_41.2.htm[04/12/2013 14:44:51] Newsletter_41.2 Waugh’s son presumably relied on information from his father…. But the dissimilarities are so huge that if Waugh intended Trimmer to be identified as Lovat he can only have failed to plant clues that would lead that way.’[9] Understandable as are these hesitations, I will nevertheless argue that Waugh did ‘plant clues’ that would lead to Lovat’s being recognizable in Trimmer/McTavish. Colleagues or friends probably saw in Trimmer, qua Trimmer, reflections of Lovat not evident to others. Nevertheless, others may speculate about seeming hints. The ‘devastatingly good looking’[10] Laird often attracted praise like ‘film-star,’ ‘matinee idol’ or ‘upper-class Errol Flynn.’ Are Trimmer’s sexy good looks meant to mirror a down-market quality in Lovat’s? Throughout March Past, Lovat either delights in his troops’ singing or insists that they sing. Is this why Trimmer incessantly croons? Professor John Wilson believes that Trimmer’s ‘trucking about with raised hands in little shuffling dance steps’ whenever jazz is playing (Sword 52) corresponds with Waugh’s description of Lovat as a ‘Palais de Dance hero.’[11] But explicit parallels between Trimmer and Lovat occur only when Trimmer temporarily morphs into McTavish. After being ousted from the Halberdiers, Trimmer takes his mother’s name, McTavish, joins a Highland regiment, becomes an officer and is left behind when the regiment deploys to Iceland. In full Highland regalia, Captain McTavish and his detachment then undertake the defence of Mugg. While on leave posing as a major, McTavish is quizzed by a senior officer from his regiment and, to avoid exposure, transfers to the Commandos (Sword 317-19, 340-54). Lovat began the war in the Lovat Scouts, a Highland regiment raised by his own family. However, after many previous provocations, he finally abused his commanding officer at a staff meeting and was given the choice of ‘a transfer (in other words the sack) or facing a court on a charge of insubordination’ (March 171). Lovat chose ‘the sack.’ The Lovat Scouts then deployed to the Faroe Islands, close to Iceland. Abandoned, Lovat found his way to the Commandos, where his Highland dress became famous. The parallels can scarcely be coincidental. Both Trimmer and Lovat are (a) ‘chucked out’ of their original regiments, viz. the Halberdiers and the Lovat Scouts; (b) both belong to Highland regiments that leave them behind when deployed to the Iceland region; and (c) both find a haven in the Commandos. One might ask whether McTavish’s generosity with travel vouchers is meant to parallel Lovat’s. By joining the Commandos, McTavish leaves his troops in Army limbo. To buy their silence, he sends them ‘on leave’ and ‘empties his book of travel-vouchers’ (Sword 358). This profligacy might recall the fact that Lovat several times created public rows and incurred reprimands by freely handing out travel-vouchers. On one such occasion Brigadier Antony Head wrote to Lovat’s commanding officer enclosing Lovat’s ‘rude’ and ‘insolent’ explanation of his conduct: ‘I am annoyed with one of your temperamental prima donnas in the shape of Lovat … the Commandos have plenty of enemies and it is merely providing them with welcome ammunition if the Commanding Officers decide to flout all conventional procedure, and, having done so, to explain their behaviour with rudeness which, in a more rigid HQ would be considered insolence.’[12] But the most calculated identification of Lovat with McTavish is surely found in the ‘Operation Popgun’ episode in Sword of Honour (387-91, 418-29). ‘Popgun’ is a cross-channel raid, led by McTavish, and it seems to take its inspiration from ‘Operation Abercrombie,’ a cross-channel raid led by Lovat. Both raids turn out fiascos but are nevertheless lauded in the press; both leaders receive the Military Cross; both are employed in wartime propaganda. To be fair to the Commandos and other soldiers engaged in cross-channel raiding, Britain’s demoralizing defeats from 1939 to 1943 dictated that the Ministry of Information splash stories of British offensive action. As Ian Kilbannock puts it in Sword of Honour: ‘Heroes are file:////uol.le.ac.uk/...c144/My%20Documents/Evelyn%20Waugh/Evelyn%20Waugh%20Studies/Newsletters/Newsletters/Newsletter_41.2.htm[04/12/2013 14:44:51] Newsletter_41.2 urgently required to boost civilian morale’ (374). Highly publicized cross-channel raids filled this ‘urgent requirement’ until real victories made them redundant. The raids were always controversial, Lovat retrospectively calling them ‘usually time-wasting’ and ridiculing in a highly personal way the officers who led early efforts (March 269, 184-87). Of course, many raids were heroic and valuable, as when two Royal Engineers in a kayak sank a ship laden with copper in Boulogne harbour, or when vital radar intelligence was brought back from Bruneval, or when the St-Nazaire docks, essential for German shipping in the Atlantic, were demolished. Nevertheless, some raids were undertaken for their news value, and Lord Louis Mountbatten, as Chief of Combined Operations, not only seized ‘every opportunity to make sure of a good … reaction from the newspapers and the BBC’ but on occasion bullied officers into giving ‘glowing accounts’ of ‘catastrophes.’[13] During this propaganda-obsessed period, newspapers and magazines regularly featured pictures of ‘dashing Major Lord Lovat’ as the ‘face’ of the Commandos; and they attributed to him utterances (no doubt crafted by some real-life Ian Kilbannock) that were often ludicrous fictions. When Laycock was campaigning in Italy, Lovat was Deputy Commander of the Special Services Brigade in England. Waugh (who had been famously left behind) wrote to Laycock, his Brigadier, criticizing Lovat’s obsession with publicity and his ‘alarming negligence’ in preparing for raids: The Brigade now seems chiefly interested in the production of cinema films and the entertainment of Wrens. Their small operational commitments are being treated with alarming negligence.

  • Displacement and Exile in Evelyn Waugh's Post-War Fiction
    Brno Studies in English Volume 42, No. 2, 2016 ISSN 0524-6881 DOI: 10.5817/BSE2016-2-6 Carlos Villar Flor Displacement and Exile in Evelyn Waugh’s Post-War Fiction Abstract Evelyn Waugh’s later fiction, especially his acclaimed trilogy known as Sword of Honour, is an indispensable source for a first-hand depiction of Britain’s in- volvement in the Second World War. Waugh’s millitary service in Croatia from 1944 to 1945 strengthened his concern for the predicament of the displaced per- sons and exiles he met there. Perhaps the clearest evidence of this new aware- ness is the privileged space that such characters find in these stories and the degree to which their suffering permeates the narratives they inhabit. My paper discuses Waugh’s treatment of displacement and exile in the final stages of the war trilogy and provides a historical background to his presentation of displaced persons, using Papastergiadis’s concept of deterritorialization as analytical tool. Keywords Evelyn Waugh; Sword of Honour; Scott-King’s Modern Europe; displacement; war refugees; World War II in literature For a first-hand depiction of Britain’s involvement in the Second World War, Evelyn Waugh’s later fiction is an indispensable source, especially his war trilogy known as Sword of Honour, which has received considerable critical acclaim.1 Very little, however, has been said about Waugh’s treatment of displacement and exile, even though these issues play a vital role in the final stages of the war tril- ogy. My paper sets out to fill this critical gap by providing a historical background to Waugh’s presentation of displaced persons, individuals removed from their na- tive country as refugees or prisoners who have managed to survive the slaughter but at the cost of becoming homeless, dispossessed and materially or spiritually humiliated.

This article sets out the international historical and political context for the migration of DPs to Australia, and interrogates the "bureaucratic labelling" inherent in the category "Displaced Persons". The post-war refugees were presented internationally as "Displaced Persons"; "refugees"; "political refugees"; and eventually, in an effort to solve the population crisis, as potential "workers" and "migrants". This article will describe the historical origin of the terms "Displaced Persons" "refugees", "political exiles" and "migrants"- terms which were, and continue to be, relevant and problematic.

NEWS A Personal Note I Owe It All to Brideshead 29 David Bittner Evelyn Waugh Studies 2 Paul Pennyfeather and the Victorian Governess: The Rejection of Nineteenth-Century Idealism in Decline and Fall Ellen O’Brien Much has been written on the disputed use of satire in Evelyn Waugh’s first novel.1 While critics have offered various readings of the satirical elements in Decline and Fall (1928), the novel also invites discussion of the role of parody, farce, black humour, burlesque, the bildungsroman, the picaresque and the anti-hero in creating an amusing but damning representation of society between the wars. This difficulty identifying a clear style is possibly due to the elusive nature of Waugh’s moral critique, which is so subtle as to be “everywhere felt but nowhere expressed” (Heath 77). His satirical target has been variously described as the “the beastliness of undergraduate societies and the leniency of college authorities toward wealthy and aristocratic members… the morals and outlook of ‘smart’ society,” the mismanagement of private boarding schools, the prison system, and modern religion, (Nichols 51) and more broadly as “inconsistency, hypocrisy, cruelty and folly… a satirical engagement with contemporary anxieties about English cultural decline in the years following the Great War” (Milthorpe 2, 20).

  • EVELYN WAUGH NEWSLETTER and STUDIES Volume 27, Number 3 Winter 1993
    EVELYN WAUGH NEWSLETTER AND STUDIES Volume 27, Number 3 Winter 1993 BARD IA MARTIN STANNARD'S MILITARY MUDDLE By Donat Gallagher (James Cook University, Australia) When reading Martin Stannard's No Abiding City [entitled Evelyn Waugh, The Later Years in the USA], for review, I was struck by what seemed an exceptionally large number of factual errors, unsupported claims, imputations of motive, overstatements and misreadings. The inaccuracy seemed so pervasive as to undermine the book's value as a work of record. In order to test this impression, I decided to examine a short neutral passage that would serve as a fair sample. The passage chosen for scrutiny had to be brief, and about an easily researched subject. The subject also had to be incapable of having stirred the prejudices of the biographer or the reviewer, or of awakening those of the readers of the book or review. Pages 28-31 of No Abiding City were selected because they dealt with a very minor military operation, viz. a Commando raid on Bardia, and with a humdrum article Waugh wrote about it. No issue of class, religion, politics, literary theory or internal military squabbling arises. Nor does the spectre of professional rivalry, for no one, I imagine, seeks the bubble reputation in a war of words about Bardia. The three pages narrate the events of the raid, using information drawn from Waugh's article and diaries. In addition, criticisms are made of Waugh on the basis of real and purported discrepancies between the article and the diaries. Little is said about the genesis of the article or about the administrative difficulties attending its publication.

    EVELYN WAUGH NEWSLETTER AND STUDIES Vol EVELYN WAUGH NEWSLETTER AND STUDIES Vol. 33, No. 3 Winter 2003 Wights Errant: Suffixal Sound Symbolism in the Novels of Evelyn Waugh by Simon Whitechapel He who hesitates is lost. Particularly in the novels of Evelyn Waugh, where little serves to damn a character as readily as hesitation and uncertainty. In the prologue to Brideshead Revisited (1945), for example, Charles Ryder accompanies his C.O. on an inspection of the camp: ‘Look at that,’ said the commanding officer. ‘Fine impression that gives to the regiment taking over from us.’ ‘That’s bad,’ I said. ‘It’s a disgrace. See that everything there is burned before you leave camp.’ ‘Very good, sir. Sergeant-major, send over to the carrier-platoon and tell Captain Brown that the C.O. wants this ditch cleared up.’ I wondered whether the colonel would take this rebuff; so did he. He stood irresolutely prodding the muck in the ditch, then he turned on his heel and strode away.1 The C.O. is never named, perhaps because Waugh had already bestowed his favorite suffix of contempt on another character in the prologue, Hooper, who accordingly joins Beaver, Trimmer, Atwater, Dr Messinger, Mulcaster, Corker, Salter, Lord Copper, Peter Pastmaster, Box-Bender, Pennyfeather, and Ryder among what might be called Waugh’s wights errant. The last two characters, who are partly autobiographical, prove that Waugh did not spare himself: Paul Pennyfeather, the hero of Decline and Fall (1928), suffers misfortune after misfortune because he is too trusting and unassertive, and Charles Ryder, the narrator of Brideshead, though perhaps partly shielded by his patrician “y”, is still worthy of serious blame for his behavior.

  • Marston Lafrance SWORD of HONOUR
    Marston LaFrance SWORD OF HONOUR: THE IRONIST PLACATUS Sword of Honour offers plenty of critical problems quite sufficient unto themselves, but they are further complicated by the mere fact of the trilogy's place in the canon. Because it comes at the end of Waugh's long career the reader is bound to be influenced, more or less unavoidably, by his general view of the earlier work, by his overall conception of an author whom he has enjoyed- or resented- for almost four decades. At least three such general views seem to have emerged over the years, and a brief look at them will suggest that a fourth might prove useful. Those readers who consider Waugh "essentially a comedian", 1 for example, should find Men at Arms the most attractive part of the trilogy, and thus it should surprise no one that this book, the least important of the three, has been called "the best of Waugh's novels".2 Readers convinced that Waugh is the twentieth century's archetypal snob, and prejudiced champion of a defunct aristocracy, must find Officers and Gentlemen impossible and parts of Unconditional Surrend er difficult to accept. Those who view him as primarily a disgruntled Tory satirist- probably the majority, and the best of the lot- will find abundant grist for their aesthetic mills throughout the trilogy, but they will also encounter solid blocks of material which their machinery canno t easily accommodate. There is nothing conspicuously satiric about the relationship between Guy and his father,3 about the deaths of Gervase and lvo, Tony Box-Bender's becoming a monk, Guy's betrayal by Virgini a, Guy's devotion to the ideal represented by Sir Roger of Waybroke, Guy's escape from Crete, Mr.

Negro Anthology. 4to, illustrations, fold-out map, original brown linen over beveled boards, lettered and stamped in red, top edge stained brown. London: Published by Nancy Cunard at Wishart & Co, 1934. First edition, first issue binding, of this landmark anthology. Nancy Cunard, an independently wealthy English heiress, edited Negro Anthology with her African-American lover, Henry Crowder, to whom she dedicated the anthology, and published it at her own expense in an edition of 1000 copies. Cunard’s seminal compendium of prose, poetry, and musical scores chiefly reflecting the black experience in the United States was a socially and politically radical expression of Cunard’s passionate activism, her devotion to civil rights and her vehement anti-fascism, which, not surprisingly given the times in which she lived, contributed to a communist bias that troubles some critics of Cunard and her anthology. Cunard’s account of the trial of the Scottsboro Boys, published in 1932, provoked racist hate mail, some of which she published in the anthology. Among the 150 writers who contributed approximately 250 articles are W. E. B. Du Bois, Arna Bontemps, Sterling Brown, Countee Cullen, Alain Locke, Arthur Schomburg, Samuel Beckett, who translated a number of essays by French writers; Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, William Carlos Williams, Louis Zukofsky, George Antheil, Ezra Pound, Theodore Dreiser, among many others.
