Pair: Trooper W. Ascough, Household Battalion, who was severely wounded in action at Arras and was later evacuated home after the Battalion suffered 70% casualties over four days during the Battle of Passchendaele in October 1917 British War and Victory Medals (2531 Tpr. W. Ascough. Household Bn.) in flattened named card box of issue, extremely fine (2) £70-£90 --- Willie Ascough, a groom coachman, was born at Harbury, Warwickshire, in 1887, and originally enlisted for the Coldstream Guards on 24 June 1916. Placed in Reserve, he was called up for service on 4 January 1917 and attested at Windsor for the Royal Household Battalion on 7 January 1917. Formed as an infantry Battalion at Knightsbridge Barracks some four months earlier, the troops of the Household Battalion were largely drawn from the reserve units of the household cavalry, the men skilled in horse riding and equine management; much retraining and re-equipment was necessary to convert such cavalry troops into foot soldiers, capable of conducting the increasingly mechanised war on the Western Front. Posted to France 6 May 1917 - likely as Battalion reinforcements - Ascough served as part of 10th Brigade, 4th Division, and witnessed heavy engagement during the final two weeks of the Battle of Arras. Initially successful, the British advance ground to a stalemate as the Germans adapted to the 'set piece' attacks and concentrated ever more artillery pieces to the east of the town. Wounded in action on 24 June 1917, Ascough's Army Service Record notes a severe gunshot wound to his left eye and admittance to the 5th General Hospital at Rouen.  Rejoining his unit in the field 22 September 1917, Ascough was present with the Household Battalion during the Battle of Passchendaele; losses were particularly severe on 9 October 1917 when 45 men of the Battalion were hit by barrage shellfire as they attempted to advance along the Poelcapelle-Schreiboom road. The following day another 50 men were struck by shellfire at the assembly position as they prepared to go 'over the top' at 5.25am and follow the Poelcapelle-Cinq Chemins road towards Requette Farm. Relieved by the 25th Northumberland Fusiliers on the night of 12-13 October, it was later found that of the original 498 men of The Household Battalion who went into action, 348 had become casualties. 13 Officers had also been hit by shrapnel and gunfire, the enemy response so intense that few of the dead could be found and later identified. Sent to No. 10 Field Ambulance and admitted to No. 12 General Hospital, Ascough was evacuated home to England per A.T. Panama on 22 November 1917, suffering from nephritis. Admitted to University College Hospital with headaches, he never returned to active overseas service and was transferred to the Coldstream Guards at Caterham on 4 April 1918, before discharge in February 1919. Having lost so many of its original cohort, approximately 450 men, the Household Battalion was effectively disbanded on 10 February 1918.

A Great War ‘casualty’ pair awarded to DH.9 observer, Second Lieutenant W. N. Hartley, 49 Squadron Royal Air Force, an 18-year-old who managed to account for three enemy aircraft forced down out of control over the Western Front, prior to becoming the 33rd ‘victory’ of Oberleutnant Lothar Freiherr von Richthofen during the first day of the Battle of Amiens on 8 August 1918 British War and Victory Medals (2/Lieut. W. N. Hartley. R.A.F.) good very fine (2) £400-£500 --- Walter Noel Hartley was born in Liverpool in December 1899. He was the son of an auctioneer at Hartely & Co. Walter Hartley was educated at the Liverpool Collegiate School, and enlisted in the Royal Flying Corps as soon as he turned 18. He was accepted for officer cadet training in December 1917, and was commissioned Temporary Second Lieutenant in the Royal Air Force in May 1918. Hartley was posted for operational flying as an Observer with 49 Squadron (DH.9’s) in France on 6 June 1918. Four days later he flew his first operational sortie, a bombing raid on Piennes, crewed with Lieutenant E. D. Asbury as his pilot. This was to prove an eventful first outing, as they, plus the other aircraft that they were flying with, were attacked by 10 enemy aircraft. The combat report provides further detail: ‘We were attacked by ten E.A., five attacking each machine. Pilot [Astbury] engaged one with Vickers, firing short bursts, and one E.A. went down in a vertical nose-dive completely out of control. The Observer [Hartley] fired another burst into another E.A. at short range. The machine went down in a spin out of control turning on to its back, and was followed down close to the ground still out of control. Being attacked by the remaining E.A. it was impossible to observe the actual crashes. During combat an E.A. engaged by the other DH.9 was seen to go down in flames. I consider these machines were driven down out of control.’ This pair carried out a number of bombing raids together throughout the remainder of the month, and they chose to go on the offensive on 29 June 1918: ‘After dropping bombs on objective, formation turned Eastward. About two miles West of Lille several E.A. passed under formation. Pilot [Astbury] dived and fired a burst into an E.A. with Vickers Gun, and then observer [Hartley] fired a long burst into E.A. and after an interval of 15 seconds volumes of white smoke issued from E.A. which turned over and went down completely out of control. Observer watched it go down about 8,000 ft. at the end of which it appeared to be one mass of smoke. 2/Lt. Simpson saw this machine go down completely out of control.’ (Combat Report refers) A similar pattern emerged for the pair throughout July, and they were in combat again whilst on a raid to Mont Notre Dame on 25 July 1918: ‘The formation was attacked by about 15 E.A. 2 E.A. flew past formation to the West of the machine. The Observer [Hartley] fired several small bursts into the E.A. which went down in a spin and appeared to go down out of control. The Observer was unable to follow it down owing to being attacked by several other other E.A. 2/Lt. Scott, Observer, saw this E.A. spin down but did not see it crash.’ (Combat Report refers) August heralded a change of pilots, and Hartley found himself crewed with four different pilots over the course of the first eight days. Combining two forced landings and a engine failure, his luck was to completely run out when finally combined with Lieutenant George Strachan Ramsay as his pilot. The latter being a noted pre-War Scottish footballer, who had turned out for Queen’s Park Rangers, Partick Thistle and Carlisle United. Hartley and Ramsay carried out a bombing raid during the first day of the Battle of Amiens on 8 August 1918. On their return from Béthencourt Bridge they had the misfortune to pass near the Ennemain Airfield, where the infamous Jasta 11 were based. German fighters immediately took off and gave chase. Hartley and Ramsay were engaged, and shot down in flames by Oberleutnant Lothar Freiherr von Richthofen - the younger brother of the ‘Red Baron.’ The were to become his 33rd ‘victory’, and they are both commemorated on the Arras Flying Service Memorial. Sold with extensive copied research.

British War Medal 1914-20 (Major T. G. Gibson.) nearly extremely fine £60-£80 --- C.B.E. London Gazette 3 June 1949.  Thomas George Gibson was born in Harrogate, Yorkshire, on 10 March 1887, the son of Dr. Charles Gibson, and was educated at Epsom College, where he was a member of the Officer Training Corps and Rifle Volunteer Corps, and Pembroke College, Cambridge. On leaving university he was articled to a firm of solicitors and after qualifying became prosecuting solicitor for H.M. Customs in Leeds. When the Great War broke out he was a member of Leeds University O.T.C., and because of this and his academic background was offered a commission into the ‘Pals’ as temporary Captain on 25 September 1914, in command of ‘D’ Company, 15th (1st Leeds Pals) Battalion, West Yorkshire Regiment. Gibson served in the Egyptian theatre of War from 22 December 1915 to 7 March 1916, helping to defend the Suez Canal where his Company was split between two locations, his being 13 and 14 Platoons based at ’50.8 POST’ about 31 miles from Port Said. On 10 February 1916, whilst in Egypt with the battalion, he was made Second in Command of ‘B’ Company. The Regiment later moved to Kantara before embarking for France on H.M.T. Ascania on 1 March 1916. In May 1916, he was given command of ‘B’ Company when its commander Major L. P. Baker was invalided home because of his head wounds, and he saw significant action with his Battalion on the Somme from 1 July 1916 onwards, being slightly wounded at Festubert on 26 August 1916, when a German sniper’s bullet grazed his nose as he ‘peered over the parapet’ (Battalion War Diary refers). Gibson was appointed Second in Command of the Battalion from 16 October 1916 and was promoted acting Major on 7 December 1916 and temporary Major from 3 March 1917. On 2 January 1917 he assumed temporary command of the 15th Battalion in the absence of Lieutenant Colonel Stuart Taylor, who re-assumed command on the 31 January. He again commanded the Battalion in late February, before proceeding on leave in March 1917; on 8 May 1917 he again held command during the battle of Arras where he commanded ‘A’ and ‘B’ Companies in the support line on the Gavrelle Road). For his services he was Mentioned in Despatches (London Gazette 18 December 1917). Gibson remained with the Battalion when it amalgamated with the 17th Battalion to form the 15th/17th Battalion in December 1917. During the first half of 1918 he assumed command of the 15th/17th Battalion several times and one of his proudest moments must have been when he presented Sergeant Albert Mountain with the riband of the Victoria Cross at a Battalion parade on 10 June 1918. As a temporary Major on the General List he was appointed Commandant of 5th Division Reception Camp on 15 July 1918 a position he held until the end of the year. Having served with the ‘Pals’ throughout their stay in Colsterdale, Egypt, France and Belgium, he was still serving with the Battalion when the war ended, after which he returned to the legal profession. He was present at the unveiling and dedication ceremony of the memorial cairn at Colsterdale on 28 September 1935, and remained a prominent member of The Leeds ‘Pals’ association and a committee member until his death. For his services as an Assistant Solicitor to the Board of Customs and Excise, he was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in the 1949 Birthday Honours’ List.

London Gazette 21 December 1916: ‘For conspicuous gallantry in action at DEWDROP TRENCH on the 28th October 1916. He showed marked courage and skill in the capture of a strong point, which contained a machine gun and was causing many casualties.’ M.M. London Gazette 18 June 1917: ‘West of the SENSEE River on 23rd April, the 33rd Division took part in a general attack at 4.45 a.m. only the flank portions of its line reached their objectives. The centre of the Division was met with most determined resistance. After several hours fighting, our centre was driven back to its starting point. The troops on our left did not appear. Our flank troops, who had gained the objective, consisted of officers and men of the 1st Middlesex Regt., and the 2nd Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, at first about 170 strong. They were completely isolated, about 1200 yards from our original line, and about the same distance from our right flank in the HINDENBURG LINE. When the enemy found nothing to the left of our left, he sent strong forces behind them, and attacked these companies from flank and rear - he also reinforced his original centre - “We were taking prisoners in front and being attacked from behind” as one wounded man described it. A hurried attack was made by the Division from the original line at 6 p.m. without much immediate success. The artillery barrage for this attack passed over our isolated troops, of whom no news had been received. Fighting continued during the night all along our lines, but the enemy was evidently very unsettled, for he retired in haste about 4 a.m., 24-4-1917, leaving rifles, ammunition, mine warfare and equipment in large quantities. Our centre at once advanced and found our isolated groups holding their positions stoutly. The gallant conduct of this man, together with others, directly influenced the retirement of the enemy.’ (Official account of action for which M.M. was awarded provided by the War Office to his next of kin in August 1920 refers) Charles Edward Read attested for the 1st Middlesex Regiment on 10 May 1915, at Hounslow and landed in France on 30 September 1915. He won the D.C.M. for his actions during the capture of Dewdrop Trench when the 1st Battalion suffered 208 casualties in killed, wounded and missing.
