449 Hubert Le Sueur (1580-1670), French sculptor, a museum quality bronzed electrotype of an extremely rare portrait medal by Claude Warin, 1635, bust right with lace ruff collar, rev. sun shines on landscape, SVDORE PARTA, 74.5 x 55.5mm (BMC [Jones], 299; TN II, 29, 4), much as made, very fine £80-120

The electrotype has the “R” stamp of Robert Ready on the truncation of the bust. Le Sueur came to London in about 1625 (at much the same time as Nicholas Briot), and his bronze equestrian statue of Charles I, London’s oldest statue, stands in Trafalgar square. He spent the most productive time of his working career in London and for this reason the medal seems to be a curious omission from Medallic Illustrations, both text and plates. Le Sueur returned to France in 1643. Jones calls the BM specimen of the medal “an aftercast”, and lists just two other examples, in Paris and Cambridge. Another electrotype is in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery (Given by Sir Lionel Henry Cust, 1893).

ACollectionofMedalstoViceroyCommissionedOfficersoftheIndianCavalry

A Viceroy’s Commissioned Officer (VCO) was a senior Indian member of the British Indian Army. VCOs were senior in rank to Warrant Officers in the British Army, and held a commission issued by the Viceroy. Also known as “Indian officers” or “native officers”, they were treated in almost all respects as Commissioned Officers, but only had authority over Indian troops and were subordinate to all British King’s and Queen’s Commissioned Officers and King’s Commissioned Indian Officers.

These ranks were created to facilitate effective liaison between the British officers and their native troops. The soldiers who were promoted to VCO rank had long service and good service records, spoke fluent English, they acted as a common liaison point between officers and men and as advisers to the British officers on Indian affairs.

VCOs were treated and addressed with respect - a British officer would address a VCO as “Subadar sahib”.

Ranks held by VCOs were:

Cavalry regiments

Jemadar was originally an armed official of a zamindar (feudal lord) in India who, like a military general, and along with Mridhas, was in charge of fighting and conducting warfare, mostly against the common people who lived on the lord’s land.

It was the lowest rank for a VCO. Jemadars either commanded platoons or troops themselves or assisted their British commander. They also filled Regimental positions such as assistant quartermaster (Jemadar quartermaster) or assistant adjutant (Jemadar adjutant).

Risaldar, often called Ressaidar in the British Army, meaning the commander of a risala (mounted troop) in Persian, is the mid-level rank in cavalry units.

A Risaldar ranks above a Naib (Vice) Risaldar called a Jemadar in the British Indian Army and below a Risaldar Major.

Woordie-Major was the adjutant in an Indian cavalry Regiment.

Risaldar-Major (also called Ressaidar-Major) was originally a cavalry officer of the British Indian Army, the rank was created in 1886 - a Risaldar-Major was the most senior Risaldar equivalent to a captain.

Infantry regiments and other arms

Jemadar – See above

Subadar or Subadar was the second highest rank of enlisted Indian soldiers. It was derived from Subahdar, the governor of a province in the Mughal Empire and the Maratha Empire. A Subedar is senior to a Naib (Vice) Subedar and junior to a Subedar Major.

Subedar-Major under British rule wore the crown of a full Major, and was equivalent to, but subordinate to, a British Major.

N.B. When so many different spellings occur in official records, it is impossible to list all variations.

Military Medal London Gazette 24th January 1919

Harry Holmes was 23 years old, a Crane Driver from West Ham, when he enlisted into the 10th battalion of the London Regiment on the 10th October 1916.He landed in France at Le Havre on the 5th February 1917. On the 1st of August 1917 he was found guilty by Field General Court Martial, of “When on Active Service conduct prejudiced to good order and military discipline” the act taking place on the 19th July 1917, he was sentenced to two month Field Punishment No1. A most humiliating form of punishment which continued into the late 1920s, Field Punishment No.1 saw the soldier in question attached standing full-length to a fixed object – either a post or a gun wheel – for up to two hours a day (often one hour in the morning and another in the afternoon). The punishment was supposedly only allowed for a maximum of 21 days and replaced flogging which had been abolished in the Army in 1881.

He was wounded by a Gun Shot wound to his right leg on the 21st September 1918 at and in his own words on Army Form B178B Statement by a Soldier concerning his own case stated “Gun Shot Wound Right Leg 21st September 1918 by sniper while advancing.” On the same form he is asked in what capacity he was wounded and he states “Stretcher Bearing Section Commander”.

He was discharged as 10% disabled by his bullet wound which was extracted at Casualty Clearing Station No 3 before he was moved to 56 General Hospital Etaples on his way home to England for final demobilisation on the 11th February 1919. It can be speculated that he was awarded the Military Medal for his actions as a Stretcher Bearer on the 21st September 1918.

His MM was announced in the London Gazette of the 24th January 1919; this Gazette carries the awards for the Battle of Amiens 8th August to the 3rd September 1918.

The MM is mounted on ribband bar for wear with the ribbons of the British War and Victory Medals. Sold with two original 10th London Shoulder titles, copy Medal Index card, Military Medal award card and a copy set of Service Papers.

Military Medal London Gazette 19th April 1945

5347680 Private Sidney Shaw, 1st Battalion The Green Howards Private Shaw has been a Battalion Stretcher Bearer since Sicily.

On the occasion of the breakout from the Anzio Bridgehead on the 23rd May 1944, 1 Green Howards launched an attack against the left coastal sector of the enemy position. Private Shaw was a Regimental Stretcher Bearer attached to “D” Company, the first assault Company.

After the Company made the initial crossing of the River Moletta, a minefield had to be crossed before the first objective could be assaulted. During the advance a mine exploded very near to Private Shaw, blowing him off his feet and concussing him for several minutes. When he recovered he noticed a badly wounded man lying inside the minefield several yards away. Without giving a thought to his own safety and in a semi-dazed condition, he crawled through the minefield to the wounded man and lifting him on his back succeeded in getting him clear of the mines and back to the Regimental Aid Post under heavy shell fire. Private Shaw then insisted on re-joining the Company and for the remainder of the action, a period of 36 hours, he continued to evacuate casualties in the open and under the most arduous conditions, in the face of constant close range sniping, and after the enemy had shown that he had no intention of respecting medical personnel.

The conduct of this man throughout the action was of the highest order and had a tremendous effect both on the fighting troops and the reaming Regimental Stretcher Bearers, some of whom had only had a few days training owing to the heavy casualties.

He has concisely shown a high sense of duty and has worked indefatigably. His conduct has been in accordance with the highest standards of gallantry in the difficult work in the field.

Sold with a large archive of original photographs; his Service Release Book, Army Book X801; Postal Box for the Military Medal over a hand written memoir; a modern Green Beret with Green Howards Cap badge; a photograph of Sidney wearing his medals in his blazer in later life; framed ad glazed copies of his citation; the award certificate for his Veterans Badge with Badge; photograph album from his time in Jerusalem; a DVD entitled Jewish war Heroes of the British Armed Forces in which Private Shaw recounts the winning of the Military Medal; the award slip for his campaign medals and the award slip, glazed and framed for the Military Medal notification that The King was unable to give Sidney his medal in person. A comprehensive and most complete World War Two Gallantry group.
