To the then Major (temporary Lieutenant Colonel) Malcolm David Erskine, an October 1949 citation for the award of the C.B.E, a 1950 memorial service programme, a replacement set of medal ribbons and correspondence, sent to the sister of Brigadier Erskine, following the discovery of his body, various press cuttings and photographs of the Brigadier throughout his illustrious career.N.B. Brigadier M. D. Erskine. C.B.E. D.S.O. (1903 - 1949) was the son of Brigadier General J. F. Erskine, C.B., C.M.G., M.V.O. (1862 - 1936) and Grandson of Captain Sir Henry David Erskine of Cardross K.C.V.O., J.P. D.L. (1838 - 1921). His varied military career began in 1924 when he entered the Scots Guards from Sandhurst, seeing service in China and Palestine. As the Second World War began, he found himself with the B.E.F. in France in 1939 as a Brigade Major, he held this position until the Dunkirk evacuation. Before going on to serve as a Brigade Commander in North Africa, commanding the 7th Motor Brigade, part of the “Desert Rats” also commanding a brigade in Italy. In the late 1940’s Brigadier Erskine was sent to Malaya, the citation for his C.B.E. reads“Brigadier Erskine arrived in Malaya with his Guard Brigade at the height of the emergency in the autumn of 1948. He was given enormous area to control in much of which the bandits were definitely on top and civilian morale had fallen to the depths, a situation, which might well have daunted a lesser man. The energetic and determined action, which took resulted in an immediate and progressive improvement throughout central Malaya, and within six months, the main bandit forces had withdrawn to remote areas, where they were completely in innocuous, and the threat had been reduced to such an extent that the civilian morale almost completely restored. The energy, skill, and determination of Brigadier, Erskine and his troops were mainly responsible for this rapid improvement, and for the re-establishment of security in central later.”Brigadier Erskine’s life was cut tragically short when he was reported missing on a flight over the jungle from Temerloh to Kuala Lumpur on 27th October 1949. The remains of his Auster aircraft were discovered along with fragments of his and his pilot's uniforms by British troops clearing the dense jungle. His death was officially registered in 1955.
The 1916 Kilkenny Hurling Final - At Last! [G.A.A.,] Medal, Kilkenny 1916-18 [Mooncoin], a 9ct gold Medal, the obverse with pierced design crossed hurls on top above football, the center with shield coat of arms, surrounded by shamrocks, the base inscribed "Ye Faire Citie," the reverse inscribed 'Co. Kilkenny Championship 1916-17-18, won by Moondharrig (Mooncoin) S.H.C.,' hallmarked J.M. (John Miller). Scarce (1) Note: 1916-17-18 Final & Replay. S.H.C.H. 1916 F. Mooncoin V. Tullaroan At Knocktopher. The long awaited final of the 1916 S.H.C.H. and which, later in the wisdom of the Co. Board, was classed as incorporating the years 1917 and 1918 when championships failed to be completed. Dick Holohan and his Football Club were, as usual, meticulous and fastidious with the arrangements. Crowds came from all parts of the County and beyond the County, from Tipperary to Carlow and Wexford to Waterford, to see true class exponents of the highest skills and disciplines of Gaeldom's Ancient Art and Craft. People, deprived and starved of games, came by every and any means of transport to be there, and many just to be there. Now the questions pondered, posed, analyzed, debated and argued for weeks were to be answered. The weather was ideal and the ground dry and both teams had a blend of experience and youth. The reappearance of the famous three Doyle brothers of Dournane and they worked their old combination game to good effect. The Walsh brothers Jim and Jack, very prominent, Jim right back, tower of strength who hustled and cleared repeatedly. Pat at full back using his strength and skills effectively and reliable for his long clearances. The two Ryans, Jim and old reliable fast and sure in the backs who did some hustling too and then Martin a speedy and elusive half forward. Bill Corcoran playing his usual hard uncompromising game and likewise E. Dunphy who got injured and replaced by Dick Carroll who played well. O'Keeffe at full forward had a tough assignment while John Poernever had a better hour in goal. Tullaroan were without their old stalwarts of other days, Tim Walton and Dan Kennedy. Tynan filled the place of Walton, Tom Dunne had a hard hitting game in front of Dick Grace, who never played a poor game. Frank and Willie Meagher, young, fast and sure, were outstanding. Frank on the right wing was most dangerous and responsible for practically all of the Tullaroan scores. Dick Grace, if not his usual brilliant self, in the first did some damage in the second half. Holohan, Dunne and Connors played sound in defense, while Kerwick kept a good goal. With a very strong wind blowing it beame a game of two halves. Mooncoin won the toss and played with the wind and sun. Mooncoin, from a scrimmage in the goalmouth, rushed to the net. This was followed by a point from Mick Doyle and then a goal. To finish the first quarter, Ned Doyle caught the ball on the rebound from Kerwick's hurley and flashed to the net. Then Dick Grace pointed to put his team on the scoreboard and Frank Meagher sent to Phil Hogan who found the net with a low rasping shot. First time striking was the order of the moment and Mooncoin rallied to net once again before halftime. M. 4-1 T. 1-1. After resuming, Tullaroan set about overhauling Mooncoin with the assistance of the elements. Frank Meagher playing brilliantly and slipped through for a good goal, followed up a few minutes later with another. At the end of the quarter, Willie Meagher, from far out steadied and sent the equalizing score all the way to the net. With the sides level the ingredients were there for a thrilling last quarter and so it was to the final whistle. In a pulsating breath-taking finish Mooncoin without conceding a free, kept Tullaroan scoreless for the final fifteen minutes, a brilliant achievement in the circumstances and one which left everyone happy. After the contest Mr. Dick Holohan D.C. the famous "old captain" of the Knocktopher Football Club entertained the Teams. Aug. 24th. At Knocktopher. Replay S.H. (1916-17-18 F). Mooncoin 5-2 (3-1), Tularoan 2-3 (0-3) It was back to Dick Holohan's "big field" for the second chapter of this memorable final. The vast crowds wee even vaster than the 5,000 at the drawn game. The inner rows were seated while the outer rows stood, but there were no problem as the whole crowd was orderly and in good humour. They were there to see hurling par excellence by the best exponents in the County. Mooncoin underwent a rigorous training Programme in preparation for the replay - besides they had three changes, J. Delahunty, virtually coming out of retirement, R. Carroll and W. Dunphy replacing T. Morahan, E. Doyle and E. Dunphy. For Tullaroan, Pat Clohosey who had a strong game replaced "Nipper" Connors. From the start the pace was very fast and the combination excellent. Tullaroan possibly had slight weakness in the back division and Kerwick in goal was not up to his best, due possibly to his having received a knock on the head in the first few minutes. "Builder" Walsh gave Mooncoin the edge at centerfield and ensured a good supply of ball to the forwards. Mooncoin opened with a penalty goal, to which Tullaroan answered with a point. 'Builder' centres beautifully and the M. forwards, rush through another goal. Tullaroan and Mooncoin exchange points and Glorney Maher adds another point for Tullaroan. At this pint, Mick Doyle was injured but after treatment resumed and then just before half time Mooncoin went through for another goal. H.T. Mooncoin 3-1, Tullaroan 0-3. After the interval the pace quickened and Tullaroan fought desperately to retrieve their position. Relentless pressure gained them a "70" which Dick Grace centered - to be hammered to the net. Mooncoin added a point in reply but back came Tullaroan and after a melee near the square, bundled one to the net through Dick Grace. At this point with the last quarter to play, Tullaroan where just two points behind, but in so doing had spent themselves. Mooncoin regained the initiative and control of the game and dictated the latter quarter adding a further two and dictated the last quarter adding a further two goals for a convincing win. F.T., Mooncoin 5-2, Tullaroan 2-3.

AN UNOFFICIAL TOMPION CREST FROM H.M. SCOUT CRUISER AMPHION, 1911cast in brass with polychrome, later suspension bracket to reverse -- 9½in. (24cm.) diameterAn 'Active' Class cruiser form the 1910 programme, Amphion was assigned to the Harwich Force in the run up to War in 1914. The day after war was declared, on the 5th of August, reports of a ship behaving suspiciously were received and the German ferry Königin Luise, now converted to a minelayer, was discovered discharging hundreds of mines in the Thames estuary. The Harwich Force gave chase, sank the ferry and Amphion received most of her crew as prisoners of war. Attempting to avoid the minefield on their return, she ran directly over them and Amphion broke her back when one detonated under her bridge, sinking within fifteen minutes and taking 132 officers and ratings and an unknown number of prisoners with her.

(67 x 142.5 x 48cm.) on original stand -- 39in. (99cm.) highThe Worshipful Company of Shipwrights, presented in 1951 by Sir Gervais d'Eyncourt, Bt., in memory of his father, Sir Eustace H. Tennyson d'Eyncourt, Bt., KCB, Master 1928-1929.The genesis of the ‘monitor’ – and indeed the very name itself – derives from the extraordinary ironclad designed by John Ericsson for the Union Navy in 1862 during the American Civil War, and its celebrated, albeit inconclusive, duel with the Confederacy’s Merrimack. This first encounter between ironclads clearly marked a turning point in naval warfare although, initially at least, the rest of the world’s navies proved rather unenthusiastic about the low freeboard, shallow draft vessels mounting a single big gun and christened monitors which were intended for coastal bombardment, The Royal Navy flirted with them briefly after the Franco-Prussian War (1870) had unsettled international relations, but the resulting four vessels built at enormous expense proved costly failures and the concept of the purpose-built coastal defence vessels was left in abeyance.In 1912, Vickers received an order for three small river monitors from Brazil but, by the time they were completed in February 1914, the Brazilian Navy no longer had the funds to pay for them. Largely to prevent them being acquired by a potentially hostile state, the Admiralty decided to purchase them and took possession of them on 3rd August 1914, one day before War was declared. When the somewhat ramshackle fleet of old battleships and gunboats then failed to make any impact on the outcome of the War from its bombardment of the Belgian coast in October 1914, the Admiralty, under its mercurial First Sea Lord Admiral ‘Jacky’ Fisher, decided the time was ripe to resurrect the idea of coastal monitors. Designs were tendered for rapid completion under relentless pressure from Fisher, too quickly in fact, and initially some basic mistakes were made; orders soon went out to yards across the country but many found it hard to keep up with the seemingly endless design changes. Fisher, as was his style, was so fired up with enthusiasm that he even resorted to seizing big guns from capital ships nearing completion along with any spare marine engines he could find.By early 1915, the monitor construction programme had virtually exhausted the stock of heavy gun mountings yet Fisher still demanded ever more heavily-armed coastal craft for the various amphibious operations he was planning in his fertile mind. In March 1915, the fourteen M15 class monitors were ordered and laid down, ten of them in the Raylton Dixon yards on the Tees. Measured at 540 tons (650 deep-loaded), each was 177 feet long with a 31-foot beam and had a supposed but rarely achieved top speed of 11 knots. With a primary armament of 1-9.2in. gun, they should have made a worthwhile contribution wherever they were employed whereas, in reality, almost all the monitors were ungainly even in moderate seas and it remains highly debatable whether they ever justified the colossal sums spent on building them.The service careers of Raylton Dixon’s M19-M28 were broadly similar, serving in either the Mediterranean or with the famous Dover Patrol. Most survived the Great War except for M25 and M27, which had to be blown up in the Dvina River during the abortive expedition to North Russia in 1919, and M28 which was sunk (along with another monitor, Raglan) by the German battlecruiser Goeben in company with the light cruiser Breslau in an action off Imbros, the largest island of Turkey.Fine original condition; Stand fragile with old glue visible in the joints.
