AN INTERESTING SILVER MOUNTED SHEEP'S HORN POCKET SNUFF BOX NEW ZEALAND, DATED 1864 With Inscription in Māori 'Pakeha Day Kote Pai A Rewi New Zealand 1864' Translating as 'A Gift To You On Whitemans Day From Rewi New Zealand 1864' 1.5cm high, 5.5cm wide, 3.5cm deep Provenance: Ex Private New Zealand collection Acquired from Gerald Satin London 1960's who purchased it from the descendants of the British Military Commander Lieutenant-General Duncan Cameron Commander of Imperial Forces in New Zealand. Rewi Manga Maniapoto (1807 - 1894) was a principal Ngati Maniapoto chief who led rebel 'Kingitanga' forces during the New Zealand government invasion of Waikato in the New Zealand wars. The famous defeat in a hilltop peach grove at Orakau, known as 'Rewi's last stand' in April 1864 brought the Waikato War to an end and was immortalised in Rudall Hayward's 1925 silent film, remade as a talkie in 1940, 'Orakau'. Although the Māori led by chief Rewi lost the battle they are still remembered for their courage and their refusal to surrender. From March 31st to April 2nd the battle raged for three days between British troops and the Māori warriors. On the last day almost out of food, water and ammunition the Māori defenders of Orakau were of-fered a last chance to surrender. This demand was met with a now famous reply, 'E Hoa Ka Whai Whai Tonu Mātou Ake! Ake! Ake!' 'Friend we will fight on forever! Forever! Forever!' Many attribute these words to Rewi, but others believe they were uttered by Hauraki Tonganui, a Taupo Māori chief. However, their intent was clear and the phrase helped create the impression that Orakau was a historic last stand for the Māori. This was the decisive victory that Lieutenant-General Cameron had sought, and presumably Rewi knew this and it was one of the reasons for his presentation of this horn snuff box to Cameron. Twenty years after the war the New Zealand state restored to Rewi a measure of his 'mana' by building him a government house on a plot of land close to the site of his destroyed council 'whare' which he called 'Hui Te Rangiora'. It is here, in the soil for which he fought, that his bones lie buried, a sacred shrine to Māori patriotism in the heart of a Pakeha village.

Just three members of the Royal Naval Air Service received exchange-George Crosses. A.M. London Gazette 18 June 1918: ‘The King has been pleased to award the Albert Medal to Acting Flight Commander Paul Douglas Roberston, R.N.A.S., in recognition of his gallantry in endeavouring to save life in February last. The circumstances as follows: On the 28th February 1918 a Seaplane got out of control and spun to the ground. Acting Flight Commander Robertson, the Observer, jumped from the machine just before it reached the ground and landed safely, as the ground was marshy. The Pilot, Flight Lieutenant H. C. Lemon was imprisoned in the Seaplane, which, on striking the ground, immediately burst into flames, and notwithstanding that the vicinity of the Seaplane was quickly a furnace of blazing petrol, and that heavy bombs, a number of rounds of ammunition, and the reserve petrol tank were all likely to explode, Acting Flight Commander Robertson returned and endeavoured to extricate the Pilot, and only desisted when he had been so severely burned in the face, hands and leg that his recovery was for some time in doubt. He displayed the greatest gallantry, self-sacrifice and disregard of danger in his efforts to extricate the Pilot.’ C.B.E. London Gazette 1 January 1944. Paul Douglas Robertson was born at Willesden, Middlesex on 30 April 1891, the son of a Master Mariner and Marine Superintendent, a profession that led to young Paul being educated in London, Jamaica and Australia. In August 1907, he followed his father into the merchant service, when he became an indentured apprentice to George Thompson & Co. Ltd. and he subsequently qualified for his certificates of competency as Second Mate and First Mate. But the advent of aviation and the progression of war persuaded him to change direction, and, in October 1915, he was commissioned in the Royal Naval Air Service as a Temporary Probationary Flight Sub. Lieutenant. Having then taken his aviator’s certificate (No. 2454) in a Grahame-White Biplane at R.N.A.S. Chingford on 9 February 1916, he was posted to the seaplane base at Calshot. In January 1917, he transferred to R.N.A.S. Killingholme in North Lincolnshire, from whence he would have flown patrols over the North Sea; his service record notes him as having attacked an enemy submarine on 27 June 1917, ‘results unknown.’ Then in February 1918, on being promoted to Acting Flight Commander, Robertson took command of the Hornsea Mere Sub. Station in Yorkshire. It was in this capacity that he teamed-up with Flight Lieutenant Hubert Lemon for a patrol on the 28th, their Large Seaplane taking off at 1647 hours but, when at 2,500 feet, it ‘spun to the ground and burst into flames’; his service record refers. His bravery on that occasion, in attempting to rescue the pilot from the blazing wreckage of their aircraft, led to an Admiralty recommendation for an Albert Medal in Bronze, although it is said that other members of the relevant committee considered that ‘a recommendation for the Gold Medal could have been justified.’ The extent of the burns to his face led to the loss of his left eye but he was able to attend an investiture at Buckingham Palace on 31 October 1918. Roberston obtained a regular commission as a Flight Lieutenant in the newly formed Royal Air Force and gained steady promotion in the inter-war period, being appointed a Group Captain in July 1939. His appointments in the Second World War included a tour of duty in Canada 1940-42, including service as the Operations Station Commander at R.C.A.F. Patricia Bay, Vancouver Island, B.C., and, on his return to the U.K., command of the R.A.F. Station, Squires Gate, near Blackpool, for which he was awarded the C.B.E. He had earlier been mentioned in despatches (London Gazette 2 June 1943, refers). Placed on the Retired List in December 1945, Robertson settled in Cornwall, and he exchanged his Albert Medal for the George Cross in 1972. Following the death of his wife, he emigrated to Auckland, New Zealand, where he died in August 1975. Sold with a quantity of original documentation, including his Federation Aeronautique Internationale (British Empire) Aviator’s Certificate (No. 2454), with portrait photograph, dated 9 February 1916; a photograph album of mainly Second World War interest, including career notes, images from the recipient’s visit to the wreck of the Tirpitz in 1945, and pasted down mention in despatches certificate, dated 2 June 1943; a presentation programme for the 10th reunion of old Squire’s Gate personnel, October 1955, and an album containing numerous watercolour pictures by the recipient, including still life and nautical subject matter.

Pair: Private G. Robertson, 4th South African Infantry, who suffered gas poisoning at Delville Wood, Somme, on 20 July 1916, and was wounded and taken Prisoner of War at the famous last stand at Marriéres Wood on 24 March 1918 British War and Bilingual Victory Medals (Pte G. Robertson. 4th S.A.I.) mounted for display, edge bruising, otherwise good very fine (2) £200-£240 --- George Robertson was born in Wandsworth, London, with his next of kin being listed as his sister - residing at Jeppestown, Johannesburg, South Africa. Robertson enlisted for the 4th South African Infantry at Potchefstroom in August 1915, and embarked for the UK on 29 September 1915. He served in the French theatre of War from 21 April 1916, and suffered gas poisoning whilst serving with ‘E’ Company at Delville Wood, Somme, on 20 July 1916. After recuperation in the UK, Robertson returned to France on 13 July 1917, and was wounded in action and taken Prisoner of War at Marriéres Wood on 24 March 1918. Possibly the most impressive feat of arms by the South African forces in the War took place in March 1918, when the Germans attacked in Operation Michael. The brigade fought a staunch defence on the first morning of the attack - 21 March 1918 - at Gauche Wood, near Villers Guislain. By 24 March they had carried out a fighting withdrawal to Marriéres Wood near Bouchavesnes and there held on, completely unsupported. They fought on until only some 100 men were left, yet it was only when ammunition ran out that the remainder, many of whom were wounded, surrendered. The following additional details are provided in an article entitled ‘Marriéres Wood 24 March 1918,’ by Andre Crozier, which was published in Military History Journal Vol 18 No 2 - June 2018, of The South African Military History Society: The German Spring Offensive ‘On 21 March 1918 General Ludendorff launched his massive Spring Offensive, Operation Michael, against the British 3rd and 5th Armies in a desperate attempt to win the war before the Americans arrived in force. The South African 1st Infantry Brigade, which formed part of the Scottish 9th Division and of the British 5th Army, held the line at Gauche Wood on the boundary between the 3rd and 5th British Armies. Aided by mist and complete surprise, the offensive started with a tremendous artillery barrage firing gas shells into the rear areas to disrupt the artillery and supply lines. Sixty-five divisions attacked over a 100 km front. The South Africans held on at Gauche Wood but had to withdraw in the afternoon as the division on their southern flank had been pushed back. Everywhere the front was collapsing, with 21 000 British soldiers being taken prisoner on the first day. It looked like Ludendorff had won the war. The South Africans conducted a fighting retreat over three days under the most difficult circumstances, as the units to their flanks kept falling back. Eventually they were ordered to hold 'at all costs' a line at the village of Bouchvesnes on the strategic Peronne - Bapaume road. The brave stand at Marriéres Wood Major-General Dawson was in command, and he conveyed the orders to the South African Brigade, by then reduced to only 500 men. There would be no further retreat. They would stand and fight to the last. Dawson decided to defend a line to the north-west of Marriéres Wood astride a minor road leading from Bouchvesnes to Combles and utilising some old trenches. The battle started at 09.00 on Sunday, 24 March 1918. The South Africans had no artillery support nor support on either flank and were soon surrounded. They were pounded all day by artillery fire and their position was swept with machine gun fire. Their ammunition was rationed and yet they managed to beat off repeated attacks. Eventually, at 16.00, surrounded, with no ammunition and with only about 100 men left, General Dawson decided to surrender. Some men tried to flee, but they were mowed down as the ground to the west was open with no cover.’ Robertson was repatriated from Germany on 26 December 1918. He returned to South Africa in in December the following year, and was discharged in January 1920. Sold with copied service papers.

Family group: A fine Second War ‘North West Europe’ 1944 M.C. group of seven awarded Lieutenant Colonel F. W. ‘Tosty’ Finnigan, 179 Field Regiment, Royal Artillery - awarded for the battle of Hill 112, which Field-Marshal Rommel considered to be “The most important hill in Normandy, for whoever has control of it has control of all around it” and of which Lieutenant-General Horrocks said, “Hill 112 is the cornerstone of the Normandy Campaign.” Military Cross, G.VI.R. reverse officially dated ‘1944’; 1939-45 Star; France and Germany Star; Defence and War Medals 1939-45; General Service 1918-62, 1 clasp, Palestine 1945-48 (Major.

S. Finnigan, Young Men’s Christian Association The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, M.B.E., (Civil) Member’s 2nd type, breast badge, silver, lacking riband; 1939-45 Star; Italy Star; Defence and War Medals 1939-45, with M.I.D. oak leaf, campaign awards mounted as originally worn, with related mounted miniature awards, very fine (lot) £1,400-£1,800 --- M.C. London Gazette 21 December 1944. The original recommendation states: ‘On 10 July on Hill 112 this officer came up from the gun area to command his battery supporting 5 DCLI in the Orchard. When the DCLI were driven out on 11 July this officer co-ordinated the covering fire which enabled the Bn. to counter attack and re-take the Orchard. Under constant mortar and M.G. fire he directed the fire of his battery and O.P.s with considerable skill and complete disregard of his own safety. He has been supporting the infantry on Hill 112, and although on a reverse slope; and under fire he has by his offensive energy and resource kept the enemy under observation and has given excellent support to his Bn. and caused considerable destruction to the enemy.’ Francis Walter ‘Tosty’ Finnigan was commissioned Second Lieutenant in the Royal Artillery in August 1939, and advanced to Captain in October 1941. He served served as a Temporary Major with 179 Field Regiment, Royal Artillery as part of the 43rd Division, 12th Corps throughout the North West Europe Campaign. Finnigan distinguished himself in the fighting in Normandy, June - July 1944, in particular in the battle for Hill 112. The following for that period is given in the history of The Worcestershire Regiment website (179 Field Regiment, being formed from the 12th Battalion, The Worcestershire Regiment in March 1942): ‘17th June 1942 the 179 Field Regiment sailed in the S.S. Sam Houstan for Normandy. They eventually arrived off Arramanches on the 19th June 1944, and after an awful week, not being able to unload, they finally fired their first round in anger at 0200 hrs. on the 26th June 1944. The next few days were very hectic. The Division was centred round Cheux and some very lively battles took place. Lieut.-Colonel Pethick was wounded on the 27th June 1944 while on a reconnaisance with Capt. R. R. Woodward, and the Second-in-Command, Major Sir J. E. Backhouse, assumed command of the Regiment, but was replaced by Lieut.-Colonel W. D. Blacker on the 3rd July. Slowly the Division pushed forward to Colleville, Mouen, Tourneville, Verson, and Fountaine Etoupefour, and on the 10th July 1944 the attack went in on to Hill 112. The guns never stopped firing and in one recorded 15-minute period the Regiment fired 1800 rounds in response to calls from the infantry, who were fighting a magnificent battle to hold the hill feature. Major R. G. Mapp, R.A., died of wounds received in this attack, and Capt. G. C. Robinson was wounded while going to relieve him. This left Sergeant Trevis responsible for the fire support of the 7th Somerset Light Infantry, which he did for many hours, subsequently receiving the D.C.M. The next morning Lieut.-Colonel W. D. Blacker was killed by enemy mortaring and Major Sir John Backhouse wounded. This left Major T. M. Brewis in command of the regiment. The fighting was colossal at this period, the Division being on one side of Hill 112, the Germans on the other. Any attempt by either side to gain the top of the ridge being a sure way to suicide. Many times the Germans tried to push the Regiment back, but men held their ground. Many died in this action and, although it was the Regiments first sight of “the little wooden cross,” none of them will forget those moments when Padre Wilson made a moment of peace in a world of insanity and enabled the men to forget their anger and think of those whose hardship was now greater than theirs. Padre was to be seen everywhere, always with that helping hand. It is not possible to give details of all the little things which saved the day, but perhaps Bombadier Rooney’s is typical. A three-tonner was hit by a shell; standing next to it was one filled with ammunition; he got in and drove it away. Those are the simple facts, imagination can help with the rest of the story. These things were happening in every section of the Regiment and always the chance was taken, an accident averted.’ Finnigan advanced to Lieutenant Colonel, and died in February 1992. He is buried with his wife in the St. Peter’s Churchyard, Hambledon, Surrey. M.B.E.

Advanced Major, Perrott survived the War but soon faced the death of his father at Chichester on 3 November 1919. Emigrating to South Africa, he set up home with his wife Gertrude in Thabina, Pietersberg, Cape of Good Hope, but his new life was cut short on 7 July 1922, reason unknown.

A rare officer’s ‘Defence of La Haye Sainte’ Waterloo medal awarded to Ensign William Smith, 2nd Light Battalion, King’s German Legion Waterloo 1815 (Ensign William Smith, 2nd Light Batt. K.G.L.) fitted with original steel clip and replacement ring suspension, toned, some obverse contact marks, otherwise very fine and rare £7,000-£9,000 --- William Smith, was born in 1796 and was commissioned Ensign into the 2nd Light Battalion King’s German Legion on 8 February 1814 at the age of 18 years. He took part in the Netherlands campaign of 1814, the campaign of 1815, the battle of Waterloo and subsequent campaign in France. Ensign William Smith is confirmed on Major Baring’s list of the 19 officers who actually defended the Farm of La Haye Sainte. Low on ammunition and suffering severe casualties, the legendary defence of La Haye Sainte against overwhelming odds by green jacketed, rifle armed companies of the Light Battalions of the King's German Legion, was crowning point of this distinguished corps’ service. Although the defence of Hougoumont tends to gain the limelight, possession of La Haye Sainte was far more important due to its central position on the battlefield. Initially defended by six companies (378 men) of the 2nd Light Battalion, they were later joined by two companies of the 1st Light and one of the 5th Line and, later still, about 150 Nassau troops but due to mounting casualties they never totalled more than 550 men. These men held back 7,000 French, who assaulted the farmhouse with great determination and bravery for 5 hours. Major Baring who commanded at La Haye Sainte, mentions the officers left inside the farm during the initial action when the companies holding the positions outside the farmhouse were engaged with French infantry. After being literally ridden over by French Cuirassiers and suffering many casualties, these companies were forced to retreat into the defences of the farm itself. Young Ensign Smith is not amongst those named and therefore must have been in one of those companies that were outside the farm and forced to retreat inside. After heroically defending the farm against repeated attacks and practically out of ammunition, Baring finally ordered a withdrawal of what remained of his command. Leading his men to cut through the assailants with the bayonet, a small number finally made it to the main British lines at Mont St Jean. Out of the 378 men from the 2nd Light Battalion who started the action, only 42 remained after to be mustered! This figure was later adjusted after men thought missing, retuned to the Battalion. However, the revised numbers still give a 47% casualty rate, one of the highest figures throughout the Army. Of the 19 K.G.L. Officers of the 2nd Light Battalions present, 3 were killed, 4 were seriously wounded, 3 wounded and 2 taken prisoner. Ensign Smith would have been one of the few officers left standing at the end of the battle and one of the few to see the battle from beginning to end. William Smith was discharged when the King’s German Legion was disbanded in 1816 and was retired on half-pay, giving his place of residence address as Westmorland & London. He tried to get re-instated in the British army, but was unsuccessful. In his 1829 Officers Service Summary, Smith states “After repeated efforts to be placed on full pay, in despair I entered on another occupation which I trust circumstances will permit me to follow for the remainder of life. I have now no wish to be placed on full pay – but in the case of war my services can be as they have been, at the disposal of my King & country.” Finally, on 20 November 1829, he surrendered his-half pay pension in favour of receiving a commuted allowance for his commission.

Mc.Carthy’, mounted court-style for wear, good very fine (10) £800-£1,000 --- Daniel McCarthy attested for the Royal Munster Fusiliers on 10 February 1904 and served with the 2nd Battalion during the Great War on the Western Front from 14 August 1914. The battalion moved forward to Mons where it was held in reserve for the fighting on 24 August. During the retreat, the 2nd Munsters occupied the position of honour as rearguard to the 1st Guards Brigade which, in turn, acted as rearguard for the 1st Division commanded by Major General Lomax. On the morning of Thursday 27 August 1914, the Irishmen, supported by two 18-pounders of the 118th Battery R.F.A. and a troop of the 15th Hussars, held the villages of Fesmy and Bergues, together with two important road junctions in that immediate area. Approaching them in an arc from North to East was an entire German Army Corps preceded by masses of cavalry and backed by an impressive array of artillery. Early in the afternoon, having inflicted savage casualties on 12 battalions of the German 2nd Guards' Reserve Division which had attacked Fesmy, the Munsters began to withdraw to the South to the village of Oisy, and on to Etreux. At 5.30pm the battalion was located at a crossroads just east of Oisy. Approaching the village of Oisy, the battalion came under heavy fire from the houses on the northern outskirts, followed by salvoes from eight German field guns positioned south-east of the village. Now, for the first time, the Irishmen began to fall thick and fast and although the one remaining 18-pounder promptly came into action, its ammunition was nearly exhausted. After a series of desperate bayonet attacks, and with the artillerymen all dead and wounded about their gun, the gallant Munsters fell back to an orchard on the west of the road. Despite a further bayonet charge, at odds of fifty to one, which had temporarily held the enemy, the orchard was now ringed by Germans against whom the survivors, lining the four sides of the orchard, made every shot count. Ultimately, due to appalling casualties, lack of ammunition and the overwhelming superiority of enemy numbers, the survivors of the Battalion were compelled to surrender around 9pm. They had been fighting for 12 hours and their senior surviving officer was a Lieutenant but their sacrifice had ensured that Haig’s 1 Corps could continue unharassed on its way. McCarthy was among those taken as prisoners of war and was held as a prisoner of war in Switzerland. Repatriated at the cessation of hostilities, he was discharged on 4 April 1919 and is entitled to a Silver Wound Badge No. B185379. He applied for a clasp to his 1914 Star on 29 March 1923 at which time he was living at 136 Hyde Road, Gorton, Manchester. Timothy McCarthy attested for the Royal Munster Fusiliers and embarked for France with a reinforcement to the 2nd Battalion on 9 October 1914. Charles Walter McCarthy was born at Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, on 5 May 1911, and attested for the Australian Imperial Force in Adelaide on 20 June 1940. He was posted to the 3 reinforcement to the 2/10th Battalion A.I.F. on 5 November 1940 and embarked for Egypt on the S.S. Strathallan on 17 November 1940. He was wounded in action at Tobruk on 22nd May 1941 when a Company fighting patrol was sent into No Man's Land near Tobruk to clear White Knoll and harass enemy tanks was heavily engaged by shell and mortar fire resulting in McCarthy and seven others being wounded and one missing. He was subsequently largely in Australia during which period he was court martialed several times for being AWOL and related charges; he also appears numerous times in the South Australia Police Gazette which lists various offences. He was discharged on 25 May 1945 and died on 29 July 1963. Sold with copied research.

As Second Pilot to S/Sgt Alan Murdoch, Dauncey flew a Horsa glider to Arnhem on the first day of Market Garden, carrying a jeep, ammunition trailer, and six gunners of the Light Regiment. After touching down safely, he was in the process of helping to unload his glider when he witnessed one of the heavy Hamilcar's coming in to land. The ground was soft and the nose of the glider dug deeper into the earth as it went along until the tail rose up under the pressure and the Hamilcar was flipped onto its back. Both pilots would have certainly been killed. Dauncey was recommended for the Victoria Cross, but this was reduced to Distinguished Service Order by Field Marshal Montgomery.
