Hirose Takeo (1868-1904) was a Japanese naval officer who is best known for his heroic death during the opening stages of the Russo-Japanese War in 1904. On 27th March that year a Japanese naval force surprised the Russian Fleet at anchor in Port Arthur. Takeo, serving aboard the battleship Asahi volunteered to command the aging merchantman Fukui Maru and sink it as a blockship in the harbour entrance. In the event he was sunk by shore batteries before he could attain his objective. The Fukui Maru blew up and, although seriously wounded, Takeo refused to abandon his post and continued to direct his men to safety, dying before he could escape. He soon became a national hero being posthumously promoted to commander and deified as a ‘military god’.

This Officer has done splendid work whilst observing for Artillery. He Observed for over 2,000 rounds during the month of May 1917, of which 121 were O.K.’s. Thirteen emplacements were destroyed, eighteen explosions and six fires were caused.'D.F.C. London Gazette 2 November 1918. The original citation states:'For skill and gallantry. On the 22nd August 1918, this Officer carried out a Special Contact Patrol from a height of from 200 feet to 400 feet. He was throughout subjected to very heavy fire from the ground and his machine was badly shot about. He showed great daring during a heavy counter attack on Logeast Wood and flying at a height of 100 feet he shot up the advancing troops and rendered great assistance in bringing this attack to a standstill and causing very high casualties. He then continued his patrol along the whole Corps front. Throughout the recent operations he has set a very good example of courage and devotion to duty to the whole Squadron.'Lionel Mostyn Woodhouse - or Lio to his friends and comrades - was born at Brooklands, Broomfield, Essex on 10 December 1896. Educated at St. Peter’s Court, Broadstairs and Eton College from 1909-14, he joined Eton O.T.C. as a Private. Whilst at Eton, Woodhouse was in R. S. de Havilland's House, playing in the Cricket XI in 1914.With the outbreak of the Great War, he was appointed 2nd Lieutenant in the 2/1st Essex Yeomanry 1 July 1915 and was seconded to the Royal Flying Corps in August 1916. He served in No. 52 Squadron from October 1916 with R.E.8’s then B.E.2e’s and then back to R.E.8’s on 15 June 1917, returned to Home Establishment on 15 August soon after his brother’s loss six days earlier.The loss of his brother was a hugely emotional event and one which was a huge blow to the entire family. Christopher Courtney wrote on 14 August 1917:'Dear Arthur,I feel I must write to you and give my most sincere and heartfelt sympathy in the loss of your boy. I was terribly shocked to hear of it, but it was some small consolation to know that he went out gallantly fighting.I wonder if your eldest son has told you that he was killed in an endeavour to protect his brother's machine from attack?He probably did not know it but there was an artillery machine being attacked and so he at once dived in order to chase off the enemy; unfortunately he was caught by several enemy scouts and shot down but he certainly succeeded in drawing them off the artillery machine in which, it afterwards turned out, was his brother.I think it was a most gallant death. I went to his funeral, a simple and straightforward one; he is buried under the shadow of the sand-dunes in a quiet and secluded spot.I feel very guilty in not having answered your letter; I am afraid I am a bad correspondent at the best of times; but I had had it in mind for some days to write and tell you that he was in a good squadron and getting on well; his Squadron Commander spoke most highly of him.'Promoted Captain on 16 September 1917, Woodhouse Instructed for a year then on 12 August 1918 he returned to No. 59 Squadron, taking command of ‘B’ Flight on R.E.8’s. On 29 August with his Observer they shot down an enemy Scout. On 1 September they were hit by A.A. but with the Observer, Lieutenant Peel holding his Lewis gun at arms length leaning over the side, managed to help steady the R.E.8 for Woodhouse to get safely back. Peel and Woodhouse’s luck ran out on 27 September 1918 when they were shot down and both lost their lives.Sold together with original letter from his brother 'Jack' on winning the D.F.C., his cloth RFC 'Wings', besides original photographs and a remarkable archive of copied letters, these of a highly emotive and unpublished nature.…

The Enchanted World of Jessie M King, Canongate 1989, p.33, pl.28 illustratedExhibited: Barclay Lennie Fine Art Limited, Glasgow, Jessie Marion King Exhibition 2nd-25th November 1989, no. 45 Dumfries and Galloway Museum Service Tolbooth Art Centre, Kirkcudbright, Jessie M King Anniversary Exhibition, June 4th - July 18th 1899, no. 20The Glasgow School of Art Jessie M King Anniversary Exhibition, 27 July-3 September 1999, no. 54Jessie M King’s ‘How Four Queens Found Sir Lancelot in the Wood’ employs striking design and skilful execution to illustrate a beguiling legend. Most intriguing of all however, is the artistic partnership behind its creation, a piece of the puzzle so often extinguished from the history of decorative art. The embroidery was executed around the time King and her husband E. A. Taylor were living in France. The couple moved to Paris in 1910 and founded the Shearing Atelier School of art. It can be argued that some of her finest works belong to this Paris period, including pieces considered influential to the creation of the Art Deco movement.This work marked the genesis of a collaboration between King and Paris based embroiderer Madame Elise Prioleau. Despite her French sounding name, Prioleau was descended from an ancient English family and married to a banker from South Carolina. Prior to King’s move to France, Prioleau had contacted the artist via letter. A feeling was present amongst artistic circles that contemporary embroidery lacked imaginative input and was instead producing ‘insipid and meaningless’ works, a fault of the designers rather than the embroiderers. This was a sentiment with which Prioleau agreed, hence why, on seeing King’s inspired illustrations in the Studio magazine, she suggested collaboration. The subject of the embroidery is taken from the 15th century prose work Le Morte d’Arthur by Thomas Mallory, an interpretation of the legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Chapter three, Book VI, Volume I describes how four fantastical queens discover Sir Lancelot resting beneath an apple tree. Having placed an enchantment, they take him to a castle where he must choose between picking a queen as his ‘paramour’ or death. Prioleau was sent a small watercolour of the design, and having traced it onto canvas, she then painstakingly worked the piece in silk threads. She was a master of her art, praised by Colin White for her use of satin stitch ‘cleverly angled across the picture like brushstrokes’, the effect being a ‘three-dimensional appearance’. Despite White’s comparison of threads with paint, E.A. Taylor in a Studio magazine article of December 1910 considers ‘How Four Queens Found Sir Lancelot in the Wood’ to be refreshingly original precisely because to him, Prioleau seems ‘at pains to avoid imitating…the pictorial painter’.  The association between King and Prioleau was not limited to this piece, the duo producing works including ‘Richard Coeur de Lion’, also illustrated in the Studio. This was a fruitful and widely admired artistic partnership. ‘How Four Queens Found Sir Lancelot’ enjoyed exposure in the foremost artistic forums of the day. A full-page colour image was first reproduced in the December 1910 volume of the Studio magazine with an accompanying article discussing the state of embroidery in Paris, as well as the design featuring in ‘The Studio Year Book of Decorative Art’ the same year. Then, in 1912 the work was displayed at the Musée Galleria exhibition of embroidery, a show reported upon in the September edition of the Studio magazine. In both instances, the partnership between King and Prioleau is described in glowing terms. Whilst E. A. Taylor, King’s husband, is the author of both articles and therefore not an unbiased reporter, the publicity the embroidery received and consequently the high regard with which it must have been viewed is undeniable.

St Bartholomew’s Hospital, Ceremonial Staff,English, late 18th/early 19th century, single piece of tapered wood finished in green lacquer, with gilt & polychrome design to the top of the St Bartholomew's Hospital Shield above lettering 'ST. B.H' ( St Bartholomew's Hospital), length 183cm.Footnote: St Bartholomew’s Hospital, commonly known as Barts, is the oldest hospital in Britain to still occupy its original site. It was founded in 1123 by Rahere, a courtier of King Henry I, who experienced a religious vision while on pilgrimage to Rome. On his return, Rahere established the Priory of St Bartholomew alongside the hospital, intending it to care for the sick and poor of London. For centuries, it provided care under the management of the Augustinian monks.Following the dissolution of the monasteries in the 16th century, St Bartholomew’s faced closure, but it was refounded in 1546 by King Henry VIII, who granted it a royal charter and ensured its survival. During the following centuries, the hospital expanded and became a center of medical innovation, establishing its medical school in 1843. Today, it remains an internationally renowned institution specializing in cardiac and cancer care.History of the St Bartholomew's Hospital Shield - The St Bartholomew’s Hospital Shield has been a prominent emblem of the institution for over 500 years. Its design originates from the coat of arms associated with John Wakering, who served as the Master of the Hospital between 1423 and 1462. Although the College of Arms never officially granted this coat of arms to Wakering or the hospital, it became strongly linked to the institution during his tenure and continued to represent it after his death.The shield's earliest documented use as the hospital’s emblem appears in a 16th-century roll at the College of Arms. Its long-standing association with St Bartholomew’s and continuous use since the early 15th century likely solidified its legitimacy as the hospital’s symbol.The St Bartholomew’s Hospital Shield can also be found in The Book of Public Arms by Arthur Charles Fox-Davies, published in 1915, where it is noted as part of the hospital’s storied heritage.BUYER BEWARE: WE CANNOT SHIP THIS LOT, PLEASE ARRANGE COLLECTION OR OWN COURIER*We Recommend Pack & Send Oxford*

The Queen’s South Africa Medal awarded to Private A. Simpson, King’s Royal Rifle Corps, later Lancashire Fusiliers, who was awarded the D.C.M. for his conspicuous gallantry near Gheluwe on 1 October 1918, when he went out alone over ground swept by machine gun fire to discover the exact position of a German machine gun ’pill-box’ post which was firing at his platoon: crawling round to its flank, he shot both sentries and on his return, stalked and shot an enemy sniper who had been ‘annoying his platoon’ Queen’s South Africa 1899-1902, 4 clasps, Defence of Ladysmith, Orange Free State, Transvaal, Laing’s Nek (634 Pte. A. Simpson, K.R.R.C.) edge bruising and contact marks, nearly very fine £200-£240 --- Provenance: Buckland Dix & Wood, May 1992 (when sold alongside the recipient’s other campaign medals and an unnamed DCM) D.C.M. London Gazette 12 March 1919 (citation published 2 December 1919):
‘On 1st October, 1918, near Gheluwe, he went out alone to reconnoitre the position of an enemy Machine Gun which was firing at his platoon. He worked forward over ground traversed by machine-gun fire, shot two sentries, thoroughly reconnoitred the enemy position, and on his way back shot a sniper who had been harassing his platoon. He showed great courage and initiative, and rendered excellent service.’ Arthur Simpson attested for the King’s Royal Rifle Corps, and served with the 2nd Battalion in South Africa during the Second Boer War, being attached to the Mounted Infantry Company. Whilst in South Africa, he transferred to the 4th Battalion King’s Royal Rifle Corps, and subsequently served, alongside 103 other men from the K.R.R.C., with the British Mounted Infantry as part of the Somaliland Field Force during the 1902-04 campaign against the ‘Mad Mullah’, where he was present at the engagement at Jidballi on 10 January 1904. Discharged to the Army Reserve, Simpson returned to his native Rochdale, but on the outbreak of war, he re-enlisted for service with the 1/6th Territorial (Rochdale) Battalion, Lancashire Fusiliers, with whom he sailed for Alexandria aboard the SS Saturnia on 9 December 1914. The battalion formed part of the Lancashire Fusilier Brigade, 42nd East Lancashire Division, and remained in Cairo until early May 1915 from where it sailed for Gallipoli, landing on 5 August 1915. Transferring to the 1st Battalion Lancashire Fusiliers, Simpson served in ‘A’ Company under the command of Captain C. Wedgwood, and was present at Gheluwe on 1 October 1918, when his company distinguished itself in penetrating strongly held enemy positions that were holding up the advance. The Regimental History provides the following description of the events leading up to the award of Simpson’s D.C.M.: ‘On the other flank, ‘A’ Company, passing through ‘B’ at dawn, succeeded in fighting its way forward about four hundred yards, with its flank just beyond the Gheluwe-Dadizeele road. Wedgwood was conspicuous for his skill, driving the enemy out of three strongholds and inflicting many casualties without any loss to his company, which in fact suffered only sixteen casualties throughout the four days of fighting. In his company was Private A. Simpson, who during this day’s operations went out alone to discover the exact position of a German machine gun which was firing at his platoon. He found the offending ‘pill-box’, crawled round to its flank, shot its two sentries, thoroughly reconnoitred the position and on his way back shot a sniper who had also been annoying his platoon’. Note: Simpson’s other campaign medals, comprising a King’s South Africa Medals with both date clasps; an Africa General Service Medal with clasps for Somaliland 1902-04 and Jidballi; and a 1914-15 Star trio; together with his Territorial Efficiency Medal, were sold in these rooms in December 2018.
