Four: Lieutenant-Colonel A. G. Holland, 13th (Irish) Imperial Yeomanry, second-in-command of the battalion when taken prisoner at Lindley on 31 May 1900; late 15th Hussars, the detachment of which regiment he commanded on the Nile Expedition in 1884-85 Afghanistan 1878-80, no clasp (Lieut. A. G. Holland, 15th Hussrs.); Egypt and Sudan 1882-89, undated reverse, 1 clasp, The Nile 1884-85 (Capt: A. G. Holland. 15/Husrs.); Queen’s South Africa 1899-1902, 3 clasps, Cape Colony, Orange Free State, Transvaal (Lt. Colonel A. G. Holland. 13/Impl. Yeo.) officially engraved naming; Khedive’s Star, dated 1884-6, contact marks and polished but generally nearly very fine (4) £1,600-£2,000 --- Arthur Gambier Holland was born on 10 September 1848, at Springfield, St. Helens, Ryde, Isle of Wight. The son of George Henry and Charlotte Holland, he was first appointed Cornet in 1869, and commissioned 2nd Lieutenant on 24 July 1869, spending 27 years with the regiment. He was raised Lieutenant on 18 October 1871; Captain on 29 April 1879; Major on 12 June 1889; and Lieutenant-Colonel (half pay) on 10 September 1896. Holland first served in Afghanistan with the Quetta and Kandahar Field Forces, taking part in the advance on and occupation of Kandahar and Khelat-i-Ghilzai; operations in Yarkistan; action near Takht-i-Pul (with the Thul Chottiali Field Force), gaining a Mention in Despatches at Takht-i-Pul, when his squadron, on 4 January 1879, surprised and defeated a superior force of some 400 enemy cavalry (Despatches 7 November 1879); and the relief of Kandahar. During the second part of the campaign, he served with the 15th Hussars in General Phayre's Division. Subsequently, he saw service in the Transvaal campaign during the first Boer War of 1881, for which no medal was ever issued. During the Nile expedition of 1884-5, Captain Holland commanded the detachment of 2 Officers and 42 men of the 15th Hussars which formed part of the Light Camel Regiment, taking part in the operations with the Desert Column, including the engagement at Abu Klea Wells on 16-17 February 1885. However, he and his men were not entitled to the clasp for the action at Abu Klea on 17 January as they were just outside the area of operations for which the clasp was awarded. Holland came out of retirement and volunteered for Boer War service, being appointed Lieutenant-Colonel, 13th Imperial Yeomanry on 21 February 1900. The 13th Battalion consisted of 45th (Dublin Hunt), 46th (Belfast), 47th (Duke of Cambridge's Own or Lord Donoughmore's) and 54th (Belfast) Companies. The Battalion was known by Roberts as the 'Irish Yeomanry’; however, the 47th Company, formed by Lord Donoughmore, who had been Commander-in-Chief of the Army for 39 years to 1895, was made up of 'men of gentle birth and wealth', who, in order to join the Company, had been required to pay £130 towards the cost of a horse, their own equipment and passage to South Africa, and to donate their pay to the Imperial War Fund for the Widows and Orphans of Soldiers. The 13th Battalion embarked for South Africa in February 1900 and was ordered to join Lieutenant-General Sir Henry Colville's 9th Division at Ventersburg as mounted infantry reinforcements. However, the unit was delayed waiting for forage and Colville left Ventersburg on 24 May 1900 without them. The Battalion was then ordered to Kroonstad and later redirected to Lindley, where on arrival on 27 May 1900, was soon engaged, coming under fire from parties of Boers around the town. Colonel Spragge, the Commanding Officer, withdrew a short distance from Lindley to the point at which he had left his baggage, established a defensive position atop a group of hills and immediately sent a messenger to Colville, requesting assistance. Colville, considering that his force was too weak to be divided, pressed on with his advance and ordered Colonel Spragge to retire to Kroonstad. Colonel Spragge had also sent requests for assistance to Lieutenant General Rundle, some 40 miles south of Lindley, and he immediately set about relieving the pressure on Spragge's force, but was held up at Senekal. Meanwhile, on 28 May 1900, the Boers began their assault on Spragge's position and for the next two days the 13th Battalion concentrated on maintaining its ground. However, on the evening of 29 May 1900, Piet de Wet arrived with reinforcements, bringing the Boer force surrounding the 13th Battalion up to some 2,500 men and most importantly, also brought with him four artillery guns, which were to effectively seal the fate of the Yeomanry Battalion. Colonel Spragge, finding that the grazing for his horses was becoming restricted, ordered Lieutenant Hugh Montgomery and 16 men of the 46th Belfast Company to seize a kopje 2,000 yards to the west of their position, from which Boer marksmen were causing problems. The sortie was a failure and Lieutenant Montgomery and his men were taken prisoner. The next morning, Lord Longford and 40 men of the 45th Dublin Company were sent to take the same kopje and following a bayonet charge, they succeeded. At this point, however, the Boers brought their artillery into action and Colonel Spragge's position began to deteriorate. On 31 May 1900, the Boers attacked the kopje and the Yeomanry began to fall back. Colonel Spragge sent reinforcements to this line, but stated that ‘an irresponsible Corporal raised a white flag and in the confusion the kopje fell’. On seeing the white flag Captain Robin ordered a cease-fire, and as the Yeomanry position was now overlooked and their Colt gun had been put out of action, Colonel Sprage decided to surrender to avoid unnecessary loss of life. Roberts in the meantime had ordered Methuen and Colville to relieve the Yeomanry, but they arrived two days too late on 2 June 1900. Colonel Spragge, Lieutenant-Colonel Holland and the surviving members of the 13th Battalion were taken Prisoner of War; the casualties suffered by the Battalion at Lindley amounted to one officer and 15 men killed in action, 5 officers and 37 men wounded, and 21 officers and 440 men taken Prisoner of War. Holland was second in command of the battalion under Colonel B. Spragge, who was subsequently cleared of blame at the enquiry which followed some months later at Barberton on 25 September 1900. Lieutenant-Colonel Holland, who had been released from captivity, went on half pay on 21 October 1900. Lord Roberts said of the disaster: ‘I consider General Colville mainly responsible for the surrender of the Irish Yeomanry and would not let him retain his command.’ Subsequently, in December 1900, Broderick, the new Secretary of State for War, announced that he agreed with Roberts that Colville was ultimately responsible for the surrender at Lindley. Colville was consequently removed from command at Gibraltar and when he would not retire he was made to do so. Sold with research including copies of rolls, details of the enquiry, original copy of Holland's Birth Certificate and war services.

He ‘served in the Eastern campaign of 1854-55, including the siege of Sebastopol, and the attack on the Russian outposts on 19th Feb. 1855 (Medal and Clasp).’ He resigned by sale of his commission during 1858, having seemingly inherited several substantial estates in Yorkshire including Potterton Hall, where he lived until about 1893 when he went to live in the south of England. He died at Southsea on 1 May 1901, aged 66. Sold with copied research including confirmation of Medjidie and some family history.
A fascinating and scarce early 20th century Boer War era photograph album, and diary, once belong to 6751 Cpl Arthur Holloway of the Volunteer Service Company, 2nd Worcestershire Regiment. To include: a leather bound pocket diary, named to ‘Lance Corporal A.Holloway 2nd Wor Vol Ser Coy Field Forces S.Africa’. The diary appears to have been written in a period address book of sorts, with lettered index leaves to the right hand side. The cover is entitled ‘Where is it?’. On the 3rd page, it states that the diary covers the period 1900/1901 from Jan 10th 1900. Interestingly, 1899 is crossed out, which may suggest that Arthur believed that he may have expected to have been deployed earlier. There are approximately 115 pages of entries, all in pencil, describing Arthur’s experiences while on campaign. Some entries tell of mundane military formalities, such as reveille, with others covering engagements against the Boers, and grim, brutal realities of warfare at the time. Several entries, detailed below, covering the period through June 1900 and July 1900 describe the regiment in action against the Boers, with the harsh and brutal nature of warfare exposed (particularly if you were captured!). Saturday June 23rd: Rev at 6 am packed our bivouacs & were just having rations served out when we were surprised by a shell flying over our heads quickly followed by another from the Boers who had got up three guns close to us during the night, Our artillery replied while we went out in extended order, & then M Is got on their flank & forced volleys into them & they retired as fast as possible our casualties were five wounded belonging to the Bedfords, we then proceeded on the march again camping about five miles from Winburg. Thursday June 28th: Reville at 6 am on the march with the column, composed of the 2nd Worc 2nd Brabants 63rd Field Battery Wilts Regt & Bedfords, Royal Irish & 2, 5 inch siege guns (Lyditti?? to the capture of Bethlehem our Coy was escort to the siege guns after marching about three miles we came in contact with the enemy & were soon at work, the right flank guard was in the thick of it, we then got the two siege guns into action & opened fire at a range of 6,500 yds, the second shell bursting beautiful & knocked one of the Boers guns out of action, the fighting lasted until dusk. Tuesday July 3rd: Came off outpost at 3 pm, on half rations artillery & M I fighting again Brabants caught twelve prisoners at a farm having lunch, & as they would not surrender they shot them all & they also captured a Field Cornet & left him in charge of one guard, he was very cheeky so we tied him to a wagon without any blankets for the night & it was a very frosty night so he was much quieter in the morning. Friday July 6th: Reville at 6.45 am starting again on the march at 10 am our Coy left flank guard fighting began in about an hours time the artillery having plenty to do, as the Boers had about 7 guns shelling us with however we wanted to capture Bethlehem that day, & we moved forward again the shells flying over our heads, our Coy had a very hot fire poured into them by some Boers from a farm that we passed & didn’t the bullets whistle around our ears but we returned the compliment & then they got a little quieter the fighting all around was very heavy until dark, & we had to retire on account of the darkness the Boers putting volleys into us as we returned but the shots went high & no damage was done, we formed camp about two miles from the town & it was the coldest night I ever had, our blankets were like stiff bonds in the morning with the frost. Saturday July 7th: Up at 4 am stood to arms at 5 am, the artillery on both sides opened fire at daybreak & just after fighting began in all its fury all around us, the shells from the Boers Long Tom caused our Coy to retire out of range but our forces on the right flank flanked them & they had to rush their guns out of danger, if ever the Boers shells had burst properly our Coy would have been cut up, as shells were dropping all around us, the Royal Irish charged one hill & captured a 15 pounder, the fighting lasted until 1.30 pm when the enemy were driven from their positions, leaving a large stock of ammunition on the hills, we lay out on the hills for an hour & half & then marched to the town & formed our camp, (still on half rations) fellows offering 1/- for one biscuit. Sunday July 8th: Reville at 6.30 quiet enough after the fight of yesterday, Babants had one their men captured by the Boers & they shot him six times & then knocked his head in with the butt of their rifles we had another wash the first for a week, our column does look a wreck now, we are all in rags or very close to it. Also included is a period photograph album, depicting various scenes of blockhouses, the ‘SAC’ (South African Constabulary), General Botha, and General Botha meeting General Clements. Hospital and armoured trains, camps, Boer prisoners, local Zulu women and refugees, and others. Approximately 48 photographs, all housed in thick card mounts. The album measures 19cm x 13.5cm, with each photograph measuring 8cm x 5.5cm. Notes: Cpl Holloway was born in 1880 in Oldbury, Worcestershire. He is entitled to the Queen South Africa medal, with the clasps for Wittebergenm Cape Colony, Transvaal, and South Africa 1901. Photographs of Arthur are featured on the History of Oldbury website, with one from his deployment, and another from his jubilant return (reproduced in the image pack). Condition: generally good for their age and use. The photograph album has wear to the linen cover, particularly to the spine area. Some of the photographs area a little loose in their mounts, but remain safely in place. The diary condition is good, with all the entries being written in pencil, thus remaining quite legible. A little wear to the spine, but it doesn’t detract. N.B. A transcript of the diary (on CD) can be included if desired. All proceed from the sale will be donated to the Royal British Legion,
L’HÔTEL DES INVALIDES C. 1700 Large folio containing twenty-three plates (some double-page), 63 x 51cmProvenance: Carton House Library, Carton House Library label with family crest on inside coverOn the 10th of October 1925, an advertisement in the Irish Times gave notice of an upcoming sale at Bennett & Son Auctioneers and Valuers, 6 Upper Ormond Quay, Dublin.‘A highly important and valuable collection of works of art moved from Carton Co. Kildare…including – 8,000 ounces of silver plate…a gallery of paintings of considerable merit…coloured prints, old French and English furniture …; also the Library of scarce and interesting books. The whole forming the most important collection ever offered for Sale by Auction in this country.’The sale took place on the 11th of November 1925 and included in the sale was this folio of etchings depicting plans, sections, and perspectives of the Hotel Royal des Invalides in Paris.Found on the inside cover of this folio is the heraldic bookplate of the Carton Library, inscribed elaborately and with two monkeys, a lion and the duke or earls’ cornet, along with the FitzGerald motto ‘Crom a boo’, an exclamation of defiance ‘To Victory’. It once belonged in the elegant book and painting lined library room in Carton House.For seven hundred years Carton House was the home of the Earls of Kildare and the Dukes of Leinster. The estate was lost by the FitzGerald’s when the third son of the sixth Duke sold his birthright to Lord Brockett to pay off an immense gambling debt, hence the sale of the Carton Library contents.In the 17th century, Louis XIV was the head of Europe’s greatest army. Aware that soldiers were the primary guardians of France’s greatness, the Sun King decided to erect a building for those who had served the royal army. The architect Liberal Bruant and later Jules Hardouin-Mansart were commissioned to create the Hotel Royal des Invalides. Today the impressive buildings contain the Musée de l’Armée, the tomb of Napoleon Bonaparte and the Église Saint-Louis-des-Invalides with its golden dome.Contained in the folio are engravings by Jean Le Pautre (1618-1682), Pierre Le Pautre (1652-1716), Gérard Scotin (1643 - 1715), Daniel Marot the Elder (1661 – 1752) and Jean Marot (1619-1679). Arguably this group of engravers were among the most significant figures in seventeenth-century France, particularly renowned for their production of architectural views of the Hotel Royal des Invalides.

Alonso, Carlos. - Stevanovitch, E. A. Carlos Alonso. 166 S., 1 Bl. Mit zahlreichen, meist farbigen ganzseitigen Abbildungen. 31 x 25,5 cm. OLeinen mit OSchutzumschlag (lädiert). Buenos Aires, Arte Gaglianone, 1986.Reich illustrierte Monographie über den argentinischen Maler. Vorderer Vorsatz (sowohl Spiegel, als auch fl. Vorsatzblatt) mit großer Originalzeichnung Alonsos (Selbstporträt) und eigenhändiger Widmung (datiert 1992). Carlos Alonso wurde am 4. Februar 1929 in Mendoza, Argentinien, geboren. Er besuchte die Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Mendoza und die Nationale Universität von Cuyo, wo er 1947 den ersten Preis beim Salón del Estudiante erhielt. Er war Schüler von Ramón Gómez Cornet. In seiner Jugend arbeitete Alonso in einem chaotischen und experimentellen Stil, der sich später wandelte: Er verließ den Expressionismus und begann, eine neue Objektivität nach deutschen Wurzeln zu erforschen und die Technik des Acryls in seine Malerei zu übernehmen. 1954 reiste er nach Europa, wo er in Paris und Madrid ausstellte. 1951 gewann er den ersten Preis beim Salón de Pintura de San Rafael (Mendoza), 1959 wurde er vom Emecé-Verlag beauftragt, den zweiten Teil von Cervantes' berühmtem Werk Don Quijote de la Mancha zu illustrieren, und im selben Jahr gewann er den Chantalpreis beim Salón de Acuarelistas y Grabadores in Buenos Aires. Er war auch ein großer Illustrator von Büchern, darunter die Divina Commedia von 1969, von der er einen Film produzierte, der vom Kulturbüro Olivetti in Auftrag gegeben wurde. Nach dem Staatsstreich von 1970 und dem Verschwinden seiner Tochter Paloma im folgenden Jahr beschloss er, Argentinien nach Italien zu verlassen. 1979 zog er nach Madrid und entschied sich nur zwei Jahre später, nach Argentinien zurückzukehren. Seine Werke wurden in der Art Gallery International (1972-1976), im Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes (Mexiko) und im Museo de Arte de La Habana (Kuba) ausgestellt. 1987 stellte er im Stadtmuseum Eduardo Sívori in Buenos Aires und in den Bellas Artes in Tucumán (Mendoza) aus. 2005, zum 400. Jahrestag der Veröffentlichung von Don Quijote in Cervantes, wurde er mit seinen Originalzeichnungen zu einer Tribute-Ausstellung im Museo de Artes Plásticas Eduardo Sívori in Buenos Aires eingeladen. Im Jahr 2011 stellte er auf der 54. Biennale in Venedig im argentinischen Pavillon aus. (www.alessandrocasciaro.com, Bozen, abgerufen am 16.8.2023). - Wohlerhalten.
