A superb and scarce, WW1 Lieutenant’s tunic, matched trousers, Cap, Sam Brown belt, boots, and other associated equipment, as worn by Lieutenant, later Acting Major, and finally Major William Munro Jennings (1885-1970) of the Royal Engineers. Both the tunic and matched trousers have tailors labels for Abbott & Baldwin of 19 Wicklow Street, Dublin. Both pieces are also dated 2/2/15 and named to 1st Lieut W.M.Jennings. The full set includes: A khaki wool tunic, with embroidered rank stars to each cuff (which after mid 1916 it became increasingly more common to have rank epaulettes). The tunic is complete with its original brass Royal Engineer buttons to the front, pockets, and epaulette area, and a matched pair of officer’s bronze R.E collar badges. The matched khaki wool trousers are complete with horn buttons to the fly, and to the waistband area for the attachment of braces. The tailors label is stitched in at the seam on the back panel. Another pair of trouser is also included, with these being a lightweight cotton material, with French made metal buttons. The lightweight trousers are seemingly devoid of any official stamped marks, with the only visible details being a faint handwritten number ‘1333’. The cap is of lightweight khaki fabric, with thin brown leather chinstrap, attached to the sides by means of 2 small General Service buttons. Tailor’s name of John Morgan & Sons, Cowes stamped into the leather sweatband. The Royal Engineers cap badge currently (loosely) fitted is incorrect for this type of cap, or rank. The example currently used on the hat is a brass other ranks economy pattern, whereas it should be an officer’s bronze example, and there are 2 small holes to the front where one has been previously fitted - a replacement original bronze cap badge should not be difficult to obtain to properly complete the cap. The leather Sam Browne belt is complete with its cross strap, pouch, Webley revolver holster, and even the cord lanyard for the Webley. The riding boots are of dark brown leather, with 3 strap and buckle attachments to the front, and 14 eyelets to each for threading laces through. A WW1 or possibly earlier pattern private purchase water bottle is also included, with the piece having a rounded front, and flat back, and and bayonet fitting cap (lid now absent). Partial leather carry strap is still fitted to the outside of the bottle. Notes: William Munro Jennings was born in 1885 in South Shields, Durham, the son of another William Munro Jennings (1859-1915), a General Practitioner. William attestation date is unknown, but his medal index card states that he disembarked for service in the Gallipoli peninsular on May 21st 1915, which would fit in well with the dates on his uniform. He is entitled to the 1915 Star trio, with his rank rising from Lieutenant up to Major by the end of the conflict. He married Olive May Young in 1915 (with the marriage certificate noting his profession as ‘Lieutenant Royal Engineers’), and went on to have a son, another William Munro Jennings in 1916. He would appear to have been discharged on May 18th 2021, with the medals being sent to his home address on Grange Road, Brook Lane, Chester. At the time of his son’s marriage in 1950, William was noted as being a Civil Engineer. Condition: generally very good. The tunic has survived well, with only a small moth hole to the bottom of one of the pockets. Complete with all its buttons and collar badges. Some very minor age and service related soiling to the tunic, and what appears to be some water staining to the lightweight pair of trousers. Minor wear to the cap, which is also a little out of round. There are splits to the reverse of the boots along the stitched seam, and they would appear to have been heavily waxed in the past, giving them a slightly tacky feel to the surface of the leather.

Pink piping to the edge,and a slip on button down strap to the reverse side.

No holes or other kinds of damage, just normal signs of light service wear.

A fine WW2 era Deputy Lord Lieutenants’s tunic, hat and other accoutrements, as worn by Colonel Alan Cecil Tod O.B.E. T.D. To include: a scarlet woollen tunic with dark blue facings, silvered King’s crown buttons to the front, cuffs, and skirt, silver cord epaulettes with gold bullion Tudor rose motif (to indicate an English county Lieutenant), and matching trousers with red stripe to the legs. Accompanying the tunic is a black beaver skin bi-corn hat, with black velvet and silver cord detail, a silvered King’s crown button, and a detachable white and red feather plume. Also included are Col Tod’s High Sheriff’s beaver skin hat (dating from c.1939) with cut steel button and chain detail, plus, dark blue crushed velvet pantaloons with cut steel buttons, lace cravats, lace cuffs, 2 pairs of white leather gloves, cut steel High Sheriff’s shoe buckles, spurs, collar stiffeners, black fabric sword belt for a court sword, black stocks, and a painted storage trunk and painted hat tin. Notes: Captain Alan Cecil Tod served as part of the 4th West Lancashire Brigade, with his rank being noted as Captain Adjutant, and later Major. His medal entitlement was the 1915 Star, British War Medal, the Victory Medal with oak leaf, and the O.B.E which was issued in 1919. Major Tod later became a Colonel, and an entry appears in the London Gazette on January 30th 1939 stating that he was to become Deputy Lord Lieutenant. A further entry in the London Gazette from March 1939 states that he was to become Sheriff for the County Palatine of Lancaster. Colonel Tod also served in the Home Guard during WW2, and for his service he was granted the C.B.E in 1943. Condition: generally very good. The Deputy Lord Lieutenant’s tunic is in good order and appears to have had little use (the silvered buttons were still wrapped in tissue when we received the item). The buttons and silvered lace detail to the cuffs and skirt have tarnished with age, but are nevertheless intact. There is a very small area near the right epaulette where there is wear to the nap of the cloth (possible old moth tracking to the surface), but this is not a hole. Both beaver skin hats are in good condition, with both showing little use. The pantaloons and trousers also remain in very good clean condition. The lace accoutrements, buckles, spurs and other items show a little age from storage, but for the most part are in good condition. The storage trunk and hat tin show some corrosion to the lid, and the hat tin is dented to one side. Please note that not all items within the lot are shown in the images.

London Gazette 23 March 1917. M.I.D. London Gazette 15 September 1916 (Jutland) and 4 October 1940. Order of St Anne, 3rd Class with swords London Gazette 5 June 1917. Conferred by the Russian Government for distinguished service rendered in the Battle of Jutland. Philip Wilfred Sidney King was born at Penge on 19 March 1881, and entered the training ship Britannia in May 1899, being appointed Midshipman in October 1900. He was promoted to Lieutenant in June 1906 and to Lieutenant-Commander in June 1914, whilst commanding H.M.S. Flying Fish. He took command of H.M.S. Liberty in October 1915, in which ship he fought at the battle of Jutland as part of Admiral Tyrwhitt’s Harwich Force, attached to the Battle Cruiser Fleet (Mentioned in Despatches). In the early hours of February 8th, 1917, H.M. Destroyer Liberty was patrolling in the Dover defile when, at just after 3 a.m., a large submarine was seen to break surface and lying almost at right angles to Liberty, slightly off the destroyer’s starboard bow but right in the centre of the moon’s rays. Straight for the conning-tower under the full moon the Liberty steered at full speed, firing one shot. Unfortunately this shot fell wide, and the flash from the gun blinded those on the bridge. Lieut.-Commander King therefore determined not to waste time but ram the German. Travelling at a speed of 24 knots, the destroyer hit the enemy a magnificent blow only two feet forward of the conning-tower. Despite the great speed and weight of the destroyer hitting a mere 420 German tons, the latter’s dull weight momentarily stopped the destroyer dead. Not put off by that, Lieut.-Commander King began dropping depth charges, which of course exploded to some purpose, and the fate of UC-46 was rapidly settled. It was discovered that the destroyer was beginning to leak quickly but it was later established beyond all doubt that she must have cut through the submarine to a depth of at least four feet. King was awarded the D.S.O. for his neat performance. King was placed on the Retired List at his own request on 17 July 1930, with the rank of Captain. During the Second World War, he was appointed Deputy Sea Transport Officer at Falmouth and was mentioned in despatches in October 1940 ‘for good services over a period.’ Sold with original D.S.O. Warrant, two M.I.D. Certificates, dated 15th September 1916 and 4 October 1940, three photographs and a Lt-Cmdrs epaulette; together with copies of his service record, confirmation of the Russian Award from Admiralty records, and the official action reports for the sinking of the UC-46 (Oberlt.
