The Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps (1917–1918), later named the Queen Mary’s Army Auxiliary Corps (1918–1920), was the women’s unit of the British Army during and immediately after the Great War.

It was formally instituted on 7 July, 1917 by Sir Neville Macready, the Adjutant General, who had appointed Dr Mona Chalmers

Watson the first Chief Controller and senior officer. Over 57,000 women served between January 1917 and November 1918. On 31 March 1917 women in the WAAC were first sent to the battlefields in France, just 14 cooks and waitresses. In 1918 women medical personnel were sent to the front in France.

The corps was disbanded in September 1921. After the German air raid in September 1940 which damaged the Army Records Office based in London most of the WAAC service records were destroyed. Worker Grace Horn’s papers are amongst those that did not survive.

As part of Britain’s post-war reduction, each infantry regiment was required to reduce its strength by one battalion. In the case of the Wiltshire Regiment, this meant amalgamating the 1st and 2nd battalions. This was done on 10 January 1949, while the

regiment was part of BAOR. For the remainder of its existence, the Wiltshires would remain a one battalion regiment. After the end of the Second World War, the Wiltshire regiment would add one more campaign to its list. Although initially earmarked to be sent to Malaya during the Emergency, the Wiltshire’s orders were changed whilst enroute and they joined the Hong Kong garrison in 1950. After returning home to Britain in 1953, the Wiltshires were ready for foreign service once more; their final campaign as an independent regiment came in 1956, when it deployed to Cyprus as reinforcements for the British garrison during the Cyprus Emergency. The battalion, deployed in response to EOKA attacks which escalated in 1955, remained in Cyprus until its return home, where on the 9th June 1959 it amalgamated with The Royal Berkshire Regiment (Princess Charlotte of Wales’s) to form The Duke Of Edinburgh’s Royal Regiment (Berkshire and Wiltshire).

marks from star, number and name of regiment rather worn, generally nearly fine(2) £180-220 A 25,000 strong British force, under the command of Sir Garnet Wolseley, landed in Egypt in August 1882, and on the 13th September, the decisive engagement of the campaign occurred, with the Battle of Tel el-Kebir, At 5.45 a.m. Wolseley’s troops were six hundred yards from the entrenchments and dawn was just breaking, when Egyptian sentries saw them and fired. The first shots were followed by multiple volleys from the entrenchments and by the artillery. British troops, led by the Highland Brigade on the left flank, and the 2nd Brigade on the right flank with the Guards Brigade (commanded by Queen Victoria’s third son, Prince Arthur, the Duke of Connaught and Strathearn) in support, charged with the bayonet. The British advance was shielded from view by the smoke from the Egyptian artillery and rifles. Arriving in the trenches at the same time, all along the line, the resulting battle was over within an hour. Most of the Egyptian soldiers were tired from having stood to all night. Because of the haste with which Urabi’s forces had prepared their defences, there were no obstacles in front of them to disrupt the attackers. Several groups stood and fought, mainly the Sudanese troops in the front of the Highland Brigade, but those not overwhelmed in the first rush were forced to retreat. In the end, it was less a battle than a massacre. Official British figures gave a total of 57 British troops killed. Approximately two thousand Egyptians died. The British army had more casualties due to heatstroke than enemy action. The 1st Battalion Scots Guards gained the battle honours ‘Tel-el-Kebir’

and ‘Egypt 1882’ for their part in the Egyptian Expedition. It was the last time the regiment carried the Colours into battle. Sold with copy Medal Roll confirming clasp.

To Mrs Castle – Sandy Cross, Seale, Farnham, Surrey. ‘Deeply regret to inform you that 2/Lt T.R. Castle West Surreys killed in action – August 31st – The Army Council express their sympathy’

Tudor Ralph Castle was born on 28th December 1882 at ‘Woodlands Villa’, Brentford, London. He was the second son of Eleanor Wilhelmina (Sadleir) and William Henry Castle. The family later moved to Kensington, London.

Tudor was admitted to Harrow School in September 1896 and resided in Mr Moss’s House, Church Hill. He went up to Trinity College, Cambridge in 1901 and graduated with a B.A. Hons in Part II of the Historical Tripos in 1904. As an undergraduate Tudor joined two Trinity poetry societies, the X Society and the Shakespeare Society, serving successively as Secretary and President of the X Society.

Following graduation, Tudor travelled to India, Spain and Germany. In 1910 he was associated with Toynbee Hall, a resettlement house in Whitechapel, East London. Tudor was engaged in secretarial and literary work and was the author of a volume of poems entitled ‘The Gentle Shepherd’, published in 1908 (a photocopy of this book is included with the lot.)

During these years Tudor became involved with a set of writers, artists and intellectuals known as the Bloomsbury Group, that had its origins at Cambridge University. This group included among its members Virginia and Leonard Woolf, Lytton Strachey, E.M. Forster, Duncan Grant, John Maynard Keyes, Dora Carrington and Clive Bell. In 1910 he was associated with the Dreadnought Hoax.

The Dreadnought Hoax was a practical joke pulled by Horace de Vere Cole. Cole tricked the Royal Navy into showing their flagship, the battleship HMS Dreadnought, to a fake delegation of Abyssinian royals. The hoax drew attention in

ORDERS AND MEDALS Britain to the emergence of the Bloomsbury Group, among whom some of Cole’s collaborators numbered. The hoax was a repeat of a similar impersonation which Cole and Adrian Stephen had organised while they were students at Cambridge in 1905 when he posed as the Sultan of Zanzibar.

The Dreadnought Hoax was a similar impersonation which was suggested to Cole by a friend who was an officer on HMS Hawke to hoax their rivals on HMS Dreadnought, including Commander Willie Fisher - Stephens’ cousin - who was on the staff of the Admiral. As Virginia Woolf later recounted ‘In those days the young officers had a gay time. They were always up to some lark; and one of their chief occupations it seemed was to play jokes on each other. There were a great many rivalries and intrigues in the navy. The officers like scoring off each other. And the officers of the Hawke and the Dreadnought had a feud. ... And Cole’s friend who was on the Hawke had come to Cole, and said to him, ‘You’re a great hand at hoaxing people; couldn’t you do something to pull the leg of the Dreadnought ?’

This involved Cole and five friends- writer Virginia Stephen (later Virginia Woolf), her brother Adrian Stephen, Guy Ridley, Anthony Buxton and artist Duncan Grant - who had themselves disguised ‘by the theatrical costumier Willy Clarkson with skin darkeners and turbans to resemble members of the Abyssinian royal family.’ The main limitation of the disguises was that the ‘royals’ could not eat anything or their make-up would be ruined. Adrian Stephen took the role of ‘interpreter’. On 7 February 1910 the hoax was set in motion. Cole organised for an accomplice to send a telegram to HMS Dreadnought which was then moored in Portland Harbour, Dorset. The message said that the ship must be prepared for the visit of a group of princes from Abyssinia and was purportedly signed by Foreign Office Under-secretary Sir Charles Hardinge. Cole with his entourage went to London’s Paddington station where Cole claimed that he was ‘Herbert Cholmondeley’ of the Foreign Office and demanded a special train to Weymouth; the stationmaster arranged a VIP coach.

In Weymouth, the navy welcomed the princes with an honour guard. An Abyssinian flag was not found, so the navy proceeded to use that of Zanzibar and to play Zanzibar’s national anthem. The group inspected the fleet. To show their appreciation, they communicated in a gibberish of words drawn from Latin and Greek; they asked for prayer mats and attempted to bestow fake military honours on some of the officers. Commander Fisher failed to recognise either of his cousins. When the prank was uncovered in London, the ringleader Horace de Vere Cole contacted the press and sent a photo of the ‘princes’ to the Daily Mirror. The group’s pacifist views were considered a source of embarrassment, and the Royal Navy briefly became an object of ridicule. The Navy later demanded that Cole be arrested. However, Cole and his compatriots had not broken any law.

During the visit to Dreadnought, the visitors had repeatedly shown amazement or appreciation by exclaiming ‘Bunga Bunga!’ In 1915 during the First World War, HMS Dreadnought rammed and sank a German submarine - the only battleship ever to do so. Among the telegrams of congratulation was one that read ‘BUNGA BUNGA’.

For his role in this affair, Tudor was threatened with possible arrest, he was never formally charged but for this, or other reasons he left England shortly after to work on a Government survey of Australia.

On October the 24th 1912 Tudor married Muriel Isabel Catherine Howard. Tudor was then employed as a Land Agent on his father-in-law’s Hampton House Lodge Estate, in Seale, West Surrey.

With the outbreak of the Great War, Tudor enlisted in the 19th (Service) Battalion (2nd Public Schools) Royal Fusiliers on the 15th September 1914, being given Service Number 175. He served 152 days in the ranks before being discharged to Commission on the 13th February 1915, being granted a Regular Temporary Commission in the Queen’s (Royal West Surrey Regiment). He was posted to the 8th Battalion on the 2nd July 1916, joining the battalion at Morlancourt sand pit where the Battalion was in tents training for its move to Guillemont on the 8th July. He took part in the unsuccessful attack by his Battalion on the Quarry near Guillemont, the Battalion losing 7 Officers and 89 Other Ranks, they moved out of the line after this attack returning to the Front area on the 31st August 1916 at Fricourt, moving up through Mametz to the village of Montauban and Danzig Alley Trench in preparation for their attack on Delville Wood on the 1st September. Whilst in this reserve position on the 31st August 1916 the Battalion was bombarded all day by the enemy, and it was during this bombardment that 2/Lt Castle was killed by a gas shell. He was 34 years old. He is buried in Plot 1, Row B, Grave 36 of Danzig Alley, British Cemetery, Mametz, France.

His name is on the Harrow School War Memorial, the Memorial was built on the site of Mr. Moss’s House, Tudor’s House whilst he was at the school

At the beginning of British rule in India, the Government generally was dependent on the village-watch system for the collection of information about crime and socio-religious developments from the remote areas. There was hardly any organized system of reporting of information of a political nature. Another channel of information of the local administration was their personal contacts with the Zamindars and other influential persons of the society.

At the beginning of 19th century, the appointment of a class of functionaries known as ‘Goindahs’ is noticed, but these Goindahs, meaning spies, were generally appointed to the suspected Thanas with instructions to keep track and report the activities of the Darogas.

The need for collection of political intelligence arose with the growth of political consciousness and political institutions in India. In fact, the history of intelligence organization is linked with the history of national awakening and the development of organized political activities in the country.

ORDERS AND MEDALS Formation of Intelligence Wing during British Rule As the Congress movement was taking off, Dufferin became aware of the inadequacy of the system of collection of political intelligence and saw in the Indian National Congress, a threat to the stability of the Empire, as there was no other political movement at that time raging in the country. In response to Dufferin’s proposal, the Secretary of State for India issued an order on December 22, 1887 for setting up a Central Special Branch and also Special Branches of the Police Department at the headquarters of each provincial Government.

In the beginning, the Central Special Branch did not have any unit solely under its control. It was merely collating and compiling reports received from the provincial Special Branches. But in the far-flung areas of the Empire, there was a need for collecting military intelligence.

In 1901 it was, therefore, decided that the Central Special Branch, which was responsible only for the collection of political intelligence, should be expanded to include a small staff of selective detective agents, to be employed to monitor political movements and also to deal with those forms of organized crimes which extended beyond the limits of a single province.

Formation of C.I.D

In 1906, when the provincial Criminal Investigation Department was formed, there was no organizational linkage between the Special Branch already existing and the C.I.D. Both functioned separately - one as part of the office of the Inspector General of Police, Bengal, while the other was headed by a Deputy Inspector General who was in charge of the C.I.D. and Railways. Even during the Swadeshi Movement of 1905 following the Partition of Bengal, the Special Branch which was being headed by Denham at that time, was monitoring the Movement with its meagre resources.

The C.I.D. was at that time divided into two sections - one, the criminal side, investigating ordinary crimes and the other, the political side, acting as auxiliary to the Special Branch and investigating political crimes and offences arising out of political agitation. The Special Branch had long been attached to the office of the Inspector General of Police. In 1908 it had to be shifted to a rented office at 41, Park Street which also accommodated the C.I.D. Denham was then acting as Special Assistant to the Inspector General of Police and was in charge of the Special Branch. His services were transferred to C.I.D. as Special Assistant to D.I.G., C.I.D. in charge of the Special Branch. The traumatic events of 1908, however, called for considerable expansion of the Special Branch.

New building for Special Branch As 41, Park Street was known to have housed the C.I.D; the functioning of the Special Branch from this building would be somewhat difficult - the Secrecy was not likely to be maintained in an open office. So, 7, Kyd Street was rented for the purpose of opening a secret office of the Special Branch.

The Government of India attached great importance to the Bengal Special Branch in view of the fact that Bengal was at that time the epicentre of political agitation and terrorist activities. In no other province the Special Branch was recognized and strengthened in the manner it was done in Bengal. The staffs of the Intelligence Branch were substantially increased during the First World War when a full time Deputy Inspector General of Police was appointed to head the Branch.

The Intelligence Branch Office The Intelligence Branch used to have two main divisions. (i) Secret Service Division and (ii) the branches responsible for processing and dissemination of intelligence. The Secret Service Branch used to deal with intelligence collection and for this they were dependant primarily on the agents. Agents were the paid informers of the Branch. The officers with special aptitude for recruiting agents were selected for Intelligence Branch.

Besides the Secret Service Branch, the processing and dissemination of Intelligence used to be done by other branches in the I.B. office. The Confidential Section used to do the sheet-indexing and from there, the particulars of suspects used to go to Indexing Section for card-indexing. In fact the confidential Section alone used to handle the folders containing the reports of the agents. That is why precaution was taken to ensure secrecy as leakage of the source report might lead to the disclosure of identity of the sources. Besides this, the Confidential Section used to maintain the records of information.

Formation of District Intelligence Branch Office It gradually came to light that the ramifications of the underground conspiratorial organization were not confined to Calcutta alone but had spread to the districts, so then the idea of forming Intelligence Branches at district headquarters was seriously considered. As early as in 1908, the Special Branch had set up some centres in places where the existence

ORDERS AND MEDALS ORDERS AND MEDALS of underground organizations had come to light. Such centres were at Midnapore, Barishal, Deoghar, Kustia, Khulna and Jessore. Each of the centres was in charge of an Inspector who was detailed from Calcutta and remained stationed at the Centre till he was relieved by another. On the eve of the First World War, however, it was felt necessary that there should be a senior officer in charge of the Intelligence Branch in the districts. In some of the affected districts, Additional Superintendents of Police were posted to head the district Intelligence Branches. Where there was no Additional Superintendent of Police, the Superintendent of Police was designated as Superintendent of Police in charge of the District Intelligence Branch. The bigger districts like Midnapore, Dhaka, and Chittagong etc. had one Additional Superintendent of Police in charge of the District Intelligence Branch. The duty of the Intelligence Branch of the District Police was twofold: (1) the collection of information regarding the ramifications of the conspiracy organization (2) investigation of the specific offences committed in furtherance to the common object of the conspiracy.

Pre-Independence The methodology of collection and dissemination of intelligence and the system of reporting from District Branch to higher-ups were gradually evolved and codified over the years. It, however, goes without saying that the Intelligence Branch in Bengal showed exceptional ability in dealing with the terrorist violence during the period before Independence. Its excellent source work and innumerable channels of information eventually resulted in unearthing of all the groups responsible for terrorist violence.

After the Government of India Act came into operation in 1937, the Intelligence Branch started losing its close contact with the Intelligence Bureau. But it retained its efficiency and capabilities to a great extent. The Quit India Movement of 1942, the Tebhaga Movement of 1946-47 and the communal riots of 1946 are three major political upheavals which broke out in the Province before Independence. The Intelligence Branch competently faced the challenges of these upheavals. Besides during the War, the counter-intelligence tasks were also performed with great ability.

The Partition of the province of Bengal and Independence were followed by further communal holocaust and an unending stream of refugees from East Pakistan. As the transfer of power was taking place, the records of the Intelligence Branch and Intelligence Bureau were hurriedly destroyed or taken away, resulting in immense loss of materials for history, which cannot perhaps be fully compensated. After this, until 1969, there was no terrorism, and not much militancy in the politics of the State. So when the Naxalite insurgency broke out in the State in 1969 the Intelligence Branch was caught on the wrong foot. However, by 1974 it succeeded in reviving its glorious past.

Distinguished Service Cross London Gazette 23rd March 1944

Citation: For courage and outstanding skill and devotion to duty shown in HMS Mauritius in operations which led to successful landings at Salerno in September 1943.

Acting Gunner Martin Kenneth Hunt was born 16 June 1913, in Maidstone, Kent. He appears as a Gunner in the Navy Lists dated 1940 (Chatham) and served in WW2 aboard HMS Mauritius, and served with great distinction aboard this vessel during the Salerno landings 9 September 1943. Having started the war whilst undergoing a re- fit at Singapore, the Mauritius was posted to the Mediterranean Fleet. This ship played a central role in providing bombardment and support at the height of the Salerno landings, and it was during this action, presumably due to his role firing one of its guns, that Gunner Martin Kenneth Hunt was awarded the DSC. This vessel also assisted in a similar way during the Anzio landings, as well as providing cover during D-Day at her position off Sword Beach with ‘Force D’. HMS Mauritius also sank the Sperrbrecher 157, 14-15 August alongside a small group of destroyers, and during the Battle of Audierne Bay she sank five Vorpostenboote, 22-23 August. After this she returned to the Home Fleet. Hunt later served as a Temporary Lieutenant (Special Branch) serving with the Cadet Corps as late as 1955, and other genealogical research shows that he died in January 1994, at the age of 80, at Swale, Kent.

H.M.S. Aurora, on the same occasion assisted to carry Lieutenant G.B. Powell, wounded to the rear, over ground swept by rifle fire, and was wounded in so doing’ Signed E.H. Seymour, Vice Admiral

Parsonage’s service record notes ‘Awarded the Conspicuous Gallantry Medal for services with the Naval Brigade in China 1900 and on reaching the rating of P.O. 1 Cl. an annuity of £10 per annum to accompany the award.’

Parsonage was mentioned in the report of the Naval Commander-in-Chief on the China Station, on the affairs at Tientsin between 10th and 26th June 1900, in the following terms: ‘I desire to bring specially to Their Lordships’ favourable notice the conduct of the following officers and men:- William Parsonage, A.B., of H.M.S. ‘Aurora’, on the same occasion assisted to carry Lieutenant G. B. Powell, wounded, to the rear, over open ground swept by rifle fire, and was wounded in so doing.’ (Signed) E. H. Seymour, Vice Admiral.

In the same report Vice Admiral Seymour describes the action of 19 June at Langfang when Parsonage was wounded whilst rescuing Lieutenant Powell: ‘Two Chinese field guns were placed near the railway embankment opposite the British Concession and opened fire. Commander Beatty, with three companies of seamen, crossed the river and manoeuvred to within 200 or 300 yards in the hope of capturing them in a rush; some Russians moved out at the same time to co-operate. While our men were waiting for the Russians to come up, a large force of Chinese appeared to the right behind a mud wall and poured in a heavy fire, wounding Commander Beatty, Lieutenants Powell (‘Aurora’) and Stirling (‘Barfleur’), Mr. Donaldson, midshipman (‘Barfleur’) (the latter died on 3rd July of his wounds), and 11 men. The force then retired.’

William Parsonage was born in Plymouth, Devon, on 25 February 1879, and joined the Royal Navy on 8 August 1895 as a Boy 2nd Class aboard H.M.S. Impregnable, his occupation being given as ‘Hawker’. He joined H.M.S. Aurora as an Ordinary Seaman on 16 February 1899, being advanced to Able Seaman the following December, and was paid off from the ship on 28 July 1900. He was advanced to Leading Seaman in January 1902, to Petty Officer 2nd Class in April 1903 and was discharged to the Royal Fleet Reserve in June 1905. However, in order to obtain 1st Class Petty Officer Status, and thereby claim the annuity to go with his C.G.M. award, he re-joined the Navy in September 1905 and became P.O. 1st Class in July 1909. He received his L.S. & G.C. award in May 1912 and saw service with the Grand Fleet during the Great War, thereby gaining entitlement to a 1914-15 Star trio. He joined the Royal Fleet Reserve at Devonport in May 1919 and was finally discharged on 16 June 1922.

Extract Derby Daily telegraph dated 17th March 1931: Brigade Boy’s Heroism – Girl Rescued From Canal.

The Boys’ Brigade Cross for heroism has just been awarded to Private Charles Clark, of the 7th London Company, for rescuing a girl from drowning in the Grand Union Canal, Harlesden, a few weeks ago.

In this case a youth was practising a dance step with a girl on the brink of the canal when the girl overbalanced and fell in. The youth dived in, and after repeated attempts to save the girl sank and was drowned. Clark was walking near-by with other boys when he heard cries for help, and, running to the towing-path, saw the girl in the water. It was a pitch dark winter’s night, and the water at this point is in a filthy condition, but Clark stripped and dived in. He succeeded in reaching the girl, but had a severe struggle with her until she became unconscious. Then he eventually managed to swim with her to the bank.

The girl who was rescued was Miss Kathleen Garland, her boyfriend who tried to save her but was drowned was Arthur Watson and Charles Clark was 14 years old when he performed the rescue for which he was awarded the Boy’s Brigade Cross For Heroism.

The Cross was instituted in September 1902 and the first awards were made in 1904. The cross was only awarded 194 times up to the end of 1985, including five posthumous awards. The second type award, as this is, was instituted in 1926 when the Boys’ Life Brigade amalgamated with the Boys’ Brigade, the second type has the addition of a Geneva cross behind the anchor in the centre of the obverse.

‘Having covered 3,400 miles he was the first explorer to cross from west to East Africa’

Alexandre De Serpa Pinto was born at Poldaras Castle, Cinfaes, 10 April 1846, and in 1856 he entered the Colegio Militar. Following his graduation in 1864 he held various military commands both in Portugal and Africa, seeing combat in the lower Zambezi area and rising to the rank of Major.

Following his service in Africa, Serpa Pinto proposed a scientific expedition to explore Africa between the Portuguese colonies of Angola and Mozambique. His proposed expedition was to be a scientific survey, noting the geographical, and astronomical details and the flora and fauna of the region.

From 1876-1877 he studied the astronomy and geography of currently known Africa. On 25 May 1877 the government approved and funded an expedition to map the Congo and Zambezi which was to be led by Serpa Pinto and accompanied by the Naval Captain Capello and Lieutenant Roberto Ivens.

The expedition left Bihe, Angola on 12 November 1877. Capello and Ivens remained behind in order to gather more porters and intended to join Serpa Pinto once this had been achieved; instead, however they decided they would explore North Eastern Angola, thus abandoning the expedition, which Serpa Pinto discovered by letter a few days later. Undeterred by this Serpa Pinto spent the next seventeen months overcoming mutinous porters, hostile tribes, rivers in full spate, dangerous animals, venomous snakes, persistent fevers and virtual starvation. Despite these obstacles he kept daily measurements, accompanied by drawings, of geographical, geological, meteorological, astronomical, anthropological, zoological and botanical data which he carefully logged. He finally reached the coast of Mozambique on 19 March 1879 having covered 3,400 miles and was the first explorer to cross from west to east Africa.

On his return he travelled extensively in Europe and Brazil presenting his finding to various geographical societies, fellow- scientists and members of the public. In 1881 his book describing the journey ‘How I crossed Africa’ was published in London. It was an immediate success and was soon republished in two popular editions. It is still considered a classic of its genre and was last republished in 2012. In 1881 he was honoured with the Founder’s Medal of the Royal Geographical Society.

During his tour of Portugal King Luis presented him with this medal in the Trindate hall in Lisbon. The city of Pernambuco had been home to his family and he had spent some time there as a child. The medal was designed by the noted artist Bordalo Pinheiro and manufactured by Brazilian jewellers.

From 1881 Serpa Pinto served in various parts of Africa and in 1884 he was appointed Portuguese consul to Zanzibar. Up until 1889 he continued to explore the various unknown regions to the west of Mozambique toward Lake Nyassa and the Shire Highlands. After his accession King Carlos, based on Serpa Pinto’s expeditions, laid claim to all previously unknown lands between Angola and Mozambique - this was ultimately to lead to a clash with Britain over the territories now known as Malawi and Zambia, resulting in an ignominious climb-down by the Portuguese government.

He was subsequently appointed Brigadier General and A.D.C. to King Carlos in 1894 and on 24 January 1899 the king honoured Serpa Pinto with the title of Viscount. He died on 28 December 1900 laden with honours from all over the globe. He was also honoured by having various places named after him and his image has also been placed on postage stamps and banknotes. He is still remembered as a major figure in the golden age of African exploration.
