| Sir Alexander Burnes [Kt Bach 1838] | |||||||
| The following biography of Sir Alexander Burnes appeared in the August 1968 issue of the Australian monthly magazine | |||||||
| "Parade":- | |||||||
| "On the afternoon of November 2, 1841, thousands of Afghans streamed through the bazaars of Kabul amid clouds of | |||||||
| swirling dust raised by their naked, frenzied feet. Borne on a spear point in front of the mob was a human head, its | |||||||
| contorted face almost unrecognisable beneath a mop of blood-clotted hair. Young Alexander Burnes - soldier, diplomat | |||||||
| and Asiatic wanderer - had diced with death for most of his short life. But the Afghans were his friends. He had battled | |||||||
| for their cause, adopted their dress and manners and been accepted almost as one of themselves. At least so Burnes | |||||||
| thought when he ignored every warning of the storm of massacre and terror about to break over the British garrison that | |||||||
| had occupied Kabul. Ironically Burnes himself was the first victim - cut down and hacked to pieces by the rabble which, | |||||||
| even to the last minute, he refused to believe would harm him. | |||||||
| "The brutal slaying ended one of the most colourful careers in the early 19th century history of British India. At one time | |||||||
| the ladies of fashionable London fainted with rapture when handsome, white-robed Captain Burnes entered their drawing- | |||||||
| rooms. He brought with him the romantic aura of places like Samarkand, Bokhara and the shores of the Caspian Sea, | |||||||
| where few other Europeans had ever penetrated. He had fought British officialdom to champion the primitive peoples of | |||||||
| the Indian frontiers, and in the end those people had killed him. | |||||||
| "The son of a prosperous lawyer, Alexander Burnes was born at Montrose, Scotland, in 1805 and enlisted as a cadet in the | |||||||
| East India Company's service at the age of 15. A year later he reached Bombay and was appointed ensign in a native | |||||||
| infantry regiment in the company's service. Parade ground soldiering was a dull business to the teenage officer, whose | |||||||
| imagination was on fire with the romance and mystery of India. With an extraordinary flair for learning he quickly made | |||||||
| himself master of a dozen Indian languages, including obscure dialects of the Himalayas and the North-West Frontier. | |||||||
| He devoured books on Hindu history and religion. By the time he was 20 the company realised that a unique scholar was | |||||||
| being wasted in the barrack rooms of Bombay. | |||||||
| "In 1826 he was removed from the army and posted to the company's political service, responsible for negotiations with | |||||||
| the Indian rulers. British influence was spreading steadily over India, but some native princes were still powerful figures | |||||||
| whose friendship was valuable. Burnes's first important mission came in 1831, when he was sent to the court of the warlike | |||||||
| Ranjit Singh at Lahore. Ostensibly he was to present five dapple-grey English horses and other gifts to the famous Sikh | |||||||
| ruler. The company's real object was to explore the prospects of opening a trade route along the rich valley of the Indus | |||||||
| River. | |||||||
| "In January 1831 Burnes set off up the Indus on the perilous voyage through the bitterly hostile Sindh States to Ranjit's | |||||||
| realm in the Punjab. His boat was wrecked twice and he narrowly escaped murder as he struggled ashore with his single | |||||||
| European companion and retinue of native servants. Presents of a gold watch, telescopes and a clock made little | |||||||
| little impression on the British-hating Amir of Hyderabad and once more Burnes was lucky to escape capture and execution. | |||||||
| These perils were forgotten once he reached the splendid court of the fearsome, hard-drinking and womanising Ranjit | |||||||
| Singh. He was entertained by feasts, troops of voluptuous dancing girls and endless draughts of liquor that tasted like | |||||||
| "molten fire." He was so fascinated by the vision of oriental magnificence that from then on he began shedding his European | |||||||
| clothes and mode of life. To the horror of British officialdom he adopted native dress, food and manners, and was even said | |||||||
| to dally with the numerous women of his household. | |||||||
| "In January 1832 the general belief that young Captain Burnes was eccentric to the point of madness seemed amply | |||||||
| confirmed. For several years he had been pleading with his superiors for permission to lead an expedition through | |||||||
| Afghanistan, Turkestan and Persia to the Caspian Sea. Russian missions were known to be probing towards Afghanistan | |||||||
| from the opposite direction. It was this vague Russian threat that won Burnes permission to set out on the historic journey | |||||||
| that was to bring him international renown. | |||||||
| "Led by Burnes, the party was made up of a Bengal army surgeon named [James Gilbert] Gerard [1795-1835] and a few | |||||||
| Indian servants. They left the Punjab late in January 1832 and crossed the frontier into Afghanistan. At Kabul Burnes was | |||||||
| warmly welcomed by the Shah, Dost Mohammed, who had seized the throne after ousting the pro-British, but weak, Shah | |||||||
| Shujah. Burnes, who greatly admired the fiercely independent Afghans, assured his host that the British had no intention | |||||||
| of trying to restore their puppet in Kabul. Then the little band pushed on northward, through the high, desolate passes of | |||||||
| the Hindu Kush into country where no British traveller had ever penetrated. | |||||||
| "By June they had reached Bokhara, in Turkestan, where a friendly vizier rescued them just as they were about to be | |||||||
| seized and sold as slaves. Burnes was horrified to learn that 150 Europeans, mostly Russians, were rotting in the dungeons | |||||||
| of Bokhara and hundreds more had been sold into slavery or tortured to death. Fleeing from the dismal city the party made | |||||||
| its way to ancient Samarkand. There they found guides to lead them across the searing Turkman Desert to the Persian | |||||||
| frontier. In September he and Gerard gazed on the waters of the Caspian, the first Britons to reach the great inland sea | |||||||
| overland from India. | |||||||
| "The perils were not yet over. Plague was raging in Persia and Burnes's companions abandoned him to make their way to | |||||||
| a healthier climate. Burnes was alone, exhausted and in rags when he at last reached Teheran and again risked being flung | |||||||
| into prison as a European spy. Fortunately the shah was highly susceptible to flattery and when Burnes at last gained an | |||||||
| audience he made the most of it. "Centre of the universe!" he hailed the shah. "In all my travels nothing has equalled what | |||||||
| I now behold - the radiant light of your imperial countenance!" The gratified shah forgave Burnes's battered appearance | |||||||
| and lack of gifts and for the next few weeks kept him as an honoured guest at his court. | |||||||
| "When Burnes finally returned to Bombay by sea early in 1833 he found himself the hero of the day. The acclaim in India, | |||||||
| however, was small compared to the adulation and honours that rained on him when he went to England on leave a year | |||||||
| later. His book about his travels brought him £1000 within a few weeks of publication. The Geographical Societies of | |||||||
| London and Paris awarded him gold medals. In London the elegant Captain Burnes, with his flowing oriental robes and | |||||||
| romantic manners, was idolised by feminine society from duchesses downwards. Kill William invited him to Windsor. He gave | |||||||
| lectures, posed for painters and in his spare time ran up an impressive list of amorous conquests. | |||||||
| "But he found a very different atmosphere, full of hostility and contempt, when he returned to India in 1835. Fears of | |||||||
| Russia were growing and, led by Sir William Macnaghten, political chief of the East India Company, Britain was planning a | |||||||
| fresh intervention in Afghanistan. In vain Burnes pleaded that a free Afghanistan under the strong rule of Dost Mohammed | |||||||
| was the best security against Russian intrigues. | |||||||
| "In 1839 a British army marched across the frontier, drove Dost Mohammed from his throne and reinstalled the wretched, | |||||||
| vicious Shah Shujah in his place. A British garrison of 8000 stayed in Kabul, with Macnaghten as envoy with Burnes his | |||||||
| assistant. Month after month Burnes saw the storm gathering, but was still confident that his friendship with the Afghan | |||||||
| chiefs would avert a rising. | |||||||
| "The blow of disillusion finally fell on November 2, 1841. All morning a blood-lusting mob seethed around Burnes's house | |||||||
| while Macnaghten, the garrison and the puppet shah were bottled up in the palace. Just before noon Burnes, clad in | |||||||
| Afghan dress, went out to reason with the leaders of the crowd. Two musket shots pierced his breast, flashing sword | |||||||
| blades descended on his prostrate body and then his head was hacked from his shoulders. Within a few weeks every Briton | |||||||
| in Kabul had shared the terrible fate of the famous and over-confident "Bokhara" Burnes." | |||||||
| The following eyewitness account by one Bowh Singh was published in the "Bombay Times" of 23 April 1842:- | |||||||
| "Sir Alexander Burnes was duly informed by his Afghan servants, the day previous to his murder, that there was a stir in | |||||||
| the city, and that, if he remained in it, his life would be in danger; they told him that he had better go to the canton- | |||||||
| ments; this he declined doing, giving as his reason that the Afghans never suffered any injury from him, but on the | |||||||
| contrary he had done much for them, and he was quite sure they would never injure him. | |||||||
| "On the day of the murder, as early as three o'clock in the morning, a cossid [courier or messenger] came to me, on duty | |||||||
| outside; he said "Go and inform your master immediately that there is a tumult in the city, and that the merchants are | |||||||
| removing their goods and valuables from the shops." I knew what my master had said on this subject the day before, so I | |||||||
| did not waken him, but put on my chupras and went to the char choukh. Here I met the wuzeer [vizier], Nazamat Dowlah, | |||||||
| going towards my master's house; I immediately turned with him, and on our arrival woke him, when my master dressed | |||||||
| quickly, and went to the wuzeer, and talked with him some time. The wuzeer endeavoured to induce him to go immediately | |||||||
| into cantonments, assuring him that it was not safe to remain in the city; he, however, persisted in remaining, saying: "If I | |||||||
| go, the Afghans will say I was afraid, and ran away." He however sent a note to Sir W. Macnaghten, by Wallee Mahomed. | |||||||
| "A chobar came from the king to call the wuzeer, who asked and obtained permission to stay at the door; the wuzeer said | |||||||
| to Sir Alexander Burnes, "Why, you see already that some of Ameen oola Khan's people have collected to attack you; if | |||||||
| you will allow me I shall disperse them." He (Sir A. Burnes) said, "No, the King sent for you to go to him without delay." The | |||||||
| wuzeer accordingly mounted his horse, and went away. The gates were then closed, and then in a little time surrounded | |||||||
| by Ameen oola Khan and his rabble. Hydur Khan, the late kotwal [leader of the fort] of the city, whom Sir Alexander Burnes | |||||||
| had turned out of office, brought fuel from the human on the opposite side of the street, and set fire to the gates. | |||||||
| "The wuzeer shortly returned from the Bala Hissar, with one of the king's pultuns [infantry regiment], on seeing the gates | |||||||
| on fire, and an immense crowd about, he took it apparently for granted that Sir A. Burnes had either escaped or been | |||||||
| destroyed, and withdrew the regiment. At this time, the whole mob of the city was collected, and the house in flames. | |||||||
| "The jemadar [officer] of chuprassees told Sir A. Burnes that there was a report of a regiment having come to assist him; | |||||||
| he was going to the top of the house to look, and had got half way, when he met an Afghan, who said that he had been | |||||||
| looking about, and there was not the least sign of a regiment. My master then turned back, and remarked there was no | |||||||
| chance of assistance coming from the cantonments or the king. A muslim, a Cashmeeree, came forward, and said, "If your | |||||||
| brother [Charles Burnes] and the chuprassees cease firing on the people, I swear by the Koran that I will take you safe | |||||||
| through the kirkee of the garden to the fort of the Kuzzilbashes." | |||||||
| "The firing ceased, and Sir A. Burnes agreed to accompany him, and for the sake of disguise, put on a chogra and a | |||||||
| longee. The moment he came out of the door, a few yards, with the Cashmeeree, the wretch called out "Here is Sikunder | |||||||
| Barnes." He was rushed on by hundreds, and cut to pieces with their knives. His brother Captain Burnes went out with him, | |||||||
| and was killed dead before Sir Alexander. Captain Broadfoot was shot sometime before, in the house, and expired in half an | |||||||
| hour. There was a guard of fourteen sepoys, they were all killed in the affair. All the Hindoostanees except myself were | |||||||
| killed. His sirdar-bearer, who is with me, escaped, as he was at home. I got away, having an Afghan dress. All the Afghan | |||||||
| servants deserted. I got into cantonments, after being several days in a shop. Sir Alexander forbade the chuprassees and | |||||||
| others firing on people until they set fire to the gates." | |||||||
| Sir Vincent Henry Penalver Caillard [Kt Bach 1896] and his second wife | |||||||
| In 1927 Sir Vincent married, as his second wife, Mrs. Zoë Oakley Maund. She was an ardent spiritualist, and was chairman | |||||||
| of "The Society of Progressive Souls." In August 1934 she published a book which she claimed to have taken down from | |||||||
| her dead husband's dictation by means of an instrument called a "Communigraph." On the release of the book, the "Daily | |||||||
| Mail" on 17 August 1934 reported that:- | |||||||
| 'There is published today a book asserted to have been recently "written" by a man long since dead, the presentation to | |||||||
| the public of which is claimed to be a prelude to the death of a woman well known in society - Lady Caillard. | |||||||
| 'It is called "A New Conception of Love" (Rider & Co., 15s), and the title page describes it as by "Sir Vincent Caillard, | |||||||
| written on his Communigraph." | |||||||
| 'Sir Vincent, who died in 1930, was a distinguished servant of the Crown and at one time president of the Ottoman Public | |||||||
| Debt Council. Retiring from official life he became a great industrialist - President of the Confederation of British Industries, | |||||||
| a director of the Southern Railway and of Vickers Ltd. | |||||||
| 'In 1927, at the age of 71, he married as his second wife Mrs. Zoë Oakley Maund. It is she who expects to die now that | |||||||
| the book is published, for in an appendix to the volume, she writes: "He (Sir Vincent) has promised me that as soon as | |||||||
| this book is finished and published my earthly work will be completed and my suffering will be at an end. I shall then join | |||||||
| him in the beautiful home of which he writes…….I know this is true because he has never once broken a promise to me." | |||||||
| 'Lady Caillard was reported last night to be in fair health and excellent spirits. She spent part of the evening in the | |||||||
| company of friends and paid a visit to a cinema. | |||||||
| 'The quotation is perhaps the least astonishing of the many surprising things in this remarkable book. It is claimed that | |||||||
| what ordinary people would call the spirit of Sir Vincent wrote the volume on a special kind of instrument called a | |||||||
| "communigraph," but which he alludes to as his typewriter. It is asserted it was made under the direction of a fellow- | |||||||
| spirit with Sir Vincent, a Mr. George Jobson, who when on earth was a scientific engineer. | |||||||
| "Sir Vincent" explains how he learnt to "materialise" so that he could be seen by Lady Caillard on earth and tells how he | |||||||
| has recently seen her "and several of her friends literally drawn from the jaws of death and relieved from excruciating | |||||||
| pain by spirit power only." | |||||||
| 'According to the book it was Dr. Robert Dudgeon, Lady Caillard's father, or, rather, his spirit, who worked these things. | |||||||
| It is claimed for him that he has a new invention for healing, "which he has built in our laboratory with our comrade, | |||||||
| George Jobson, and which instruments we hope later to give instructions for making on earth. I can only deal briefly | |||||||
| with just one instance of his work in this book. My beloved wife was suffering from a very painful cancerous growth last | |||||||
| summer. She was quite ready to come to me because of her agony. Dr. Dudgeon began using the marvellous rays from | |||||||
| his instrument and in so doing I watched the absolute miracle that took place. The growth diminished rapidly until only | |||||||
| a small nodule was left. The cure of the disease was complete, but there are now failures of tissue which after long years | |||||||
| of suffering are worn almost threadbare. That mean I am prepared for her home-coming." | |||||||
| 'It is of interest to note that it is claimed Sir Vincent Caillard operated the Communigraph at Lady Caillard's house, the | |||||||
| Belfry - a converted chapel - in West Halkin-street, London, S.W. It is intimated by "Sir Vincent" that such high hopes | |||||||
| are held of the possibilities of this instrument that "Ethel (a teaching spirit) is teaching people of various nations to use | |||||||
| the Communigraph, because we are making such strides at the Belfry that great statesmen, kings, and leaders of many | |||||||
| nations see the possibilities of giving international messages of counsel and guidance to their respective people, and by | |||||||
| this means we of the Trianon Band are praying to God that our Communigraphs may bring universal peace and brother- | |||||||
| hood." | |||||||
| Quite…. | |||||||
| As far as the publishing of the book presaging the death of Lady Caillard, it is only fair to point out that she died a mere | |||||||
| five months later, on 16 January 1935. | |||||||
| Sir Adrian Carton de Wiart VC [KBE 1945] | |||||||
| The following biography of this remarkable soldier appeared in the March 1964 issue of the monthly Australian magazine | |||||||
| "Parade":- | |||||||
| "During World War I the British Army had few officers like Belgian-born Adrian Carton de Wiart. He went into battle armed | |||||||
| only with a walking stick and followed by his batman with a blanket and a petrol stove. Yet, despite his unorthodox | |||||||
| approach to 20th century warfare, Carton de Wiart's superiors thought so highly of him that in little more than a year he | |||||||
| rose from captain to brigadier-general and won the VC and the DSO. In a military career going back to the Boer War he | |||||||
| Boer War he was hit twice while serving in South Africa, once in Somaliland and eight times in France. With only an Irish | |||||||
| grandmother to give him a little British blood, Carton de Wiart spent a lifetime fighting for his adopted country. Winston | |||||||
| Churchill once called him a model of chivalry and honour who thrived in the fire of war and was literally shot to pieces | |||||||
| without being affected physically or in spirit. | |||||||
| "Born in Brussels on May 5, 1880, Adrian Carton de Wiart came from an aristocratic Belgian family. Like his lawyer father | |||||||
| he was sent to England to be educated. At 11 he was enrolled at the Oratory School in Birmingham and later went on to | |||||||
| Balliol College [Oxford] to study law. When the Boer War broke out in 1899 he threw up his studies to enlist as a trooper | |||||||
| in a cavalry regiment, Paget's Horse, and sailed for South Africa. A few months later he received his first wound while | |||||||
| trying to cross a river in full view of a Boer detachment. Later, while waiting for transport to hospital, he was questioned | |||||||
| by his OC and asked whether there had been many Boers about. "No," Carton de Wiart replied, "but the few that were | |||||||
| there were extremely good shots." | |||||||
| "Sent back to England, he was invalided out and returned to Oxford. But before long he had persuaded his father to let | |||||||
| him abandon law for a military career. Returning to South Africa he enlisted again as a trooper in the Imperial Light Horse. | |||||||
| He was soon made a corporal but was demoted 24 hours later for threatening to punch a sergeant. However, he was | |||||||
| obviously a born soldier and the incident was soon forgotten. Within a few months he was given a commission. Soon after, | |||||||
| the regiment was ordered to attack a Boer outpost. On the way it was held up by a barbed-wire fence which was covered | |||||||
| by Boer rifles. Rushing up to his colonel, Carton de Wiart asked permission to make a single-handed dash out to the wire | |||||||
| with a pair of cutters. "Don't be a damn fool," he was told. "Get back to your men and stay under cover." He obeyed only | |||||||
| only to receive a severe wound later in the action. While in hospital he was offered a transfer with a commission to the | |||||||
| British Regular Army. He accepted. | |||||||
| "Gazetted to the 4th Dragoon Guards stationed in India he siphoned his energy into pig-sticking and polo. In 1908 after a | |||||||
| spell as ADC to Sir Henry Hildyard, commander-in-chief in South Africa, Captain de Wiart was posted to England. More | |||||||
| palmy peacetime years followed as adjutant of the Royal Gloucestershire Hussars. His duties were so unimportant that he | |||||||
| managed to spend many months each year on the Continent and do his job by correspondence. | |||||||
| "When in 1914 the fanatical Dervishes of Somaliland under their colourful leader, Abdallah Hasan, rose against their British | |||||||
| overlords, Carton de Wiart saw the chance of action. He won a transfer to the Somaliland Camel Corps, which consisted | |||||||
| of native Somalis under British officers. Before sailing he sat for an examination for promotion to major. He failed dismally | |||||||
| and in one paper, Military Law, set a record by obtaining eight marks out of a possible 200. Later in life Carton de Wiart | |||||||
| commented: "How lucky I was that wars wash out examinations. I was never asked to sit for another as long as I was in | |||||||
| the army." | |||||||
| "Arriving in Somaliland in August 1914, the detachment was met by the news that Britain and Germany were at war. After | |||||||
| some months spent training Somali troops, he led a company in a general attack against Abdallah Hasan's stronghold at | |||||||
| Shimber Berris. Early in the battle he received a bullet wound above the left eye. The injury gave him a chance to get | |||||||
| into the war against Germany. Evacuated to Egypt, he refused to let local surgeons touch his eye and demanded to be | |||||||
| sent home. As a result he was placed on the next ship to England. On January 3, 1915, his eye was removed in London. | |||||||
| Two weeks later he faced a medical board which at first refused to take seriously his demand to be passed fit for service | |||||||
| in France. Finally the board members said they would consider the request if he showed he could wear a satisfactory glass | |||||||
| eye. He got one, went before the board again and was passed fit for general service. Leaving the building he called a taxi, | |||||||
| threw the glass eye out of the window, and put on the black patch he wore for the rest of his life. | |||||||
| "By February 1915 he was in Flanders as a squadron leader with the 4th Dragoon Guards, the cavalry regiment in which he | |||||||
| had served in India. He survived the first gas attack of the war at the opening of the Second Battle of Ypres on April 22, | |||||||
| but a few days later his left hand was shattered by shrapnel. He staggered back to his regiment and was mistaken for a | |||||||
| German and fired on by his own men. He was recognised before a bullet could find its mark. Taken to a dressing station, | |||||||
| his hand was examined by a doctor. Two fingers were hanging only by strips of skin. Most of the palm and wrist was | |||||||
| missing. Carton de Wiart asked the doctor to take the two fingers off. When the request was refused he pulled them off | |||||||
| himself. Although the whole hand was later amputated, that did not stop Carton de Wiart being back in action by | |||||||
| December 1915. | |||||||
| "Deciding now that the cavalry was outmoded in trench warfare he transferred to the infantry and was appointed second- | |||||||
| in-command of the Loyal North Lancashire Battalion. After a quick grounding in infantry work he was promoted lieutenant- | |||||||
| colonel and given command of his own the 8th Gloucester's. He led them in an attack on La Boiselle during the Battle of | |||||||
| the Battle of the Somme in July 1916, and took over another two battalions which had lost their commanders. The whole | |||||||
| British line in that sector was wavering under a German counter-attack and the two leaderless battalions were on the | |||||||
| verge of a chaotic withdrawal. Then they saw Carton de Wiart's tall figure, moustaches bristling, advancing alone on the | |||||||
| Germans and tossing grenades as he went. During that engagement, he said in after years, "I was compelled to use bombs | |||||||
| bombs for the first and last time. With only one hand I found a new use for my teeth in pulling the pins out and thanked | |||||||
| Providence that my teeth were my own." His stirring example stiffened the leaderless British infantrymen and despite their | |||||||
| casualties they bounded out to support him. The advance did not stop until they had taken La Boiselle. For his action that | |||||||
| day Adrian Carton de Wiart was awarded the Victoria Cross. | |||||||
| [His citation in the London Gazette of 8 September 1916 (issue 29740, page 8869) reads:- "For most conspicuous bravery, | |||||||
| coolness and determination during severe operations of a prolonged nature. It was owing in a great measure to his | |||||||
| dauntless courage and inspiring example that a serious reverse was averted. He displayed the utmost energy and courage | |||||||
| in forcing our attack home. After three other battalion Commanders had become casualties, he controlled their commands, | |||||||
| and ensured that the ground won was maintained at all costs. He frequently exposed himself in the organisation of | |||||||
| positions and of supplies, passing unflinchingly through fire barrage of the most intense nature. His gallantry was inspiring | |||||||
| to all."] | |||||||
| "After that promotions followed almost as quickly as fresh wounds. A machine-gun bullet went straight through the back | |||||||
| of his head and he was hit by a shell fragment in the ankle about the same time he was first given command of a brigade. | |||||||
| Preparing for the Battle of Cambrai, he was inspecting front-line trenches one day when the Germans opened up with an | |||||||
| artillery barrage and he was hit in the hip. In hospital he asked for news of his brigade and whether it had been attacked | |||||||
| after the barrage. He was told there was no attack and he had been the only casualty in the barrage. | |||||||
| "There were more wounds, including one that nearly caused the loss of his leg at St. Quintin during the last German | |||||||
| offensive of March 1918. But Carton de Wiart was still in the field as commander of a brigade in the 61st Division at the | |||||||
| Armistice. | |||||||
| "When World War II broke out in 1939 he returned to the British Army as lieutenant-general. His first task was to command | |||||||
| the ill-fated expeditionary force which fought in central Norway after that country was invaded by Germany. In 1941 the | |||||||
| British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, ordered him to Yugoslavia as military adviser to the resistance movement. On the | |||||||
| way his plane crashed into the Mediterranean. Carton de Wiart and the crew got ashore in North Africa but were taken | |||||||
| prisoner by the Italians. | |||||||
| "Two years later with Lt.-Gen. [Sir] Richard O'Connor, who had also been captured in North Africa, he tunnelled his way | |||||||
| out of an officers' prison in Florence. Although then 63 and recognisable from his black eye-patch and missing hand, he | |||||||
| resolutely set out with O'Connor for the Swiss border. They covered 150 miles in 8 days before they were finally run down | |||||||
| and returned to the Florence prison. Carton de Wiart remained there until September 1944 when the Italians transferred | |||||||
| him back to England through Lisbon. | |||||||
| "After only three weeks' leave he was sent to China as the Prime Minister's personal representative to Chiang Kai-shek. | |||||||
| Three years later a fall down some stairs at Rangoon broke his back and at last finished his active career. Sir Adrian Carton | |||||||
| de Wiart retired to County Cork, Ireland, and lived there quietly until his death in 1963." | |||||||
| Sir Ernest Joseph Cassel [KCMG 1899, KCVO 1901, GCMG 1905, GCVO 1906 and GCB 1909] | |||||||
| Sir Ernest's biography appeared in the September 1956 edition of the Australian monthly magazine "Parade":- | |||||||
| "King Edward VII once asked a foreign ambassador whether he had seen Oscar Wilde's famous play, "The Importance of | |||||||
| Being Earnest." The diplomat smiled and shook his head. "No sire," he quipped, "but I have seen the importance of being | |||||||
| Ernest Cassel." He was referring to the strange friendship between a flinty, taciturn, strait-laced financier and the worldly, | |||||||
| sophisticated, pleasure-loving monarch. The friendship, it was rumoured, owed much of its warmth to the Cassel millions, | |||||||
| which helped Edward, then Prince of Wales, through the sticky financial crises in which his gambling and extravagance | |||||||
| landed him. | |||||||
| "Ernest Cassel was born on March 3,1852, youngest child of Jakob Cassel, a small money-lender of Cologne, Germany. He | |||||||
| grew into a youthful prodigy both at the violin and chess. He was so good at chess, that his father gave him the choice | |||||||
| of a business career or becoming a professional chess player. He chose business. There was no room in his father's one- | |||||||
| man concern; so he was apprenticed to Elzbacher & Co., a prominent private banking house of Cologne. At 16, Cassel | |||||||
| decided there were more opportunities in England. He went to Liverpool where he clerked in a grain merchant's office at 15 | |||||||
| shillings a week, and moved later to the Anglo-Egyptian Bank in Paris. The Franco-Prussian War of 1870 sent young Cassel | |||||||
| back to England. He applied for a vacancy with the old Jewish financial house of Bischoffsheim and Goldschmidt in London. | |||||||
| "His application was held up to employees for years as a model of businesslike correspondence. Other applicants filled | |||||||
| pages praising themselves. Cassel confined himself to two lines. "Dear Sirs," he wrote, "I apply for the position in your | |||||||
| office and refer you to my former chiefs, Messrs. Elzbacher, Cologne." Cassel started at £200 a year. Within 12 months he | |||||||
| was office manager. "We'll give you £500 a year," said Bischoffsheim senior, announcing the promotion. "You mean £5000," | |||||||
| snapped back young Cassel. Bischoffsheim gulped. He thought of the profitable deals Cassel had already engineered for the | |||||||
| firm. He nodded miserably. "Yes, of course," he said, "I mean £5000." | |||||||
| "Ernest Cassel was sent all over the world supervising the firm's far-flung investments. He had to liquidate businesses, | |||||||
| collect debts, buy new concerns - on all of which he received substantial commissions. He turned the "white elephant" | |||||||
| Swedish Central Railway Company into a profit maker. The railway carried iron ore to the port of Oxelosund. It had two | |||||||
| competitors. None was making money. Cassel realised that if the railway was to make a profit it had to carry more freight. | |||||||
| He therefore bought the mine, installed a new process to increase production and gave the extra business to his own | |||||||
| railway. Competitors had to sell out and were merged with his own line into one efficient service. When both railway and | |||||||
| mine were paying, Cassel unloaded them on the Swedish investing public at an astronomical profit. | |||||||
| "Cassel remained with Bischoffsheim till 1884, then set up for himself in a cubbyhole which remained his only office till he | |||||||
| retired a millionaire many times over. Cassel was a lone wolf. He never had a partner. Partners, he said, "commit you to | |||||||
| things you don't want to be committed to." The late 19th century was a period of fabulous business development. Untold | |||||||
| millions poured yearly into railways, mining, manufacturing, shipping and agriculture. A good proportion of those invest- | |||||||
| ments was channelled through Ernest Cassel, who raised loans for Mexico and China, reorganised the entire financial | |||||||
| system of Uruguay, founded banks in Turkey, Egypt and Morocco. | |||||||
| "His private life, however, was in tragic contrast to his business success. He was only 22 when his mother died. A year | |||||||
| later his father and brother followed her. Ernest Cassel was alone, without relatives or friends in a foreign land. He became | |||||||
| a moody, gruff automaton, concerned only with piling up money. His life changed briefly when he fell in love with an English | |||||||
| girl. Annette Maxwell, daughter of a small landowner. They married in 1878. A daughter, Maud, was born the following year. | |||||||
| After three years of marriage, Cassel's wife died of consumption. Grimly he returned to money-making, piling up fabulous | |||||||
| wealth for the child who was all he had. | |||||||
| "Luck played his way. On holiday in Switzerland, Cassel climbed down a dangerous cliff to rescue a girl trapped on one of | |||||||
| the lower slopes of Mont Blanc. Her father proved to be Jacob Schiff [1847-1920], head of the great American banking | |||||||
| house of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. Schiff and Cassel were both German Jews. They became friends. Schiff made Cassel European | |||||||
| agent for his firm and later summoned him to the United States to reorganise the Louisville and Nashville railway. Extending | |||||||
| his operations to South America, Cassel picked up control of the Mexican Central Railway, put it on a profit-making basis | |||||||
| and sold out for enough to put him for the first time in the millionaire class. | |||||||
| "Cassel was different from the American "robber baron" gang who looted companies by "milking" and stock-watering. He | |||||||
| developed his concerns into more valuable properties, then took his profit by selling at the higher values. His pyramiding | |||||||
| assets put him into the lucrative field of underwriting - particularly foreign loans. His fortune bounded as he dealt in | |||||||
| grandiose operations at government levels. | |||||||
| "Cassel bought a mansion in Grosvenor Square, London, and set about acting the millionaire. He collected paintings, rare | |||||||
| books, objets d'art, silver and china. Society beckoned to the former migrant boy, who still looked like a stocky little shop- | |||||||
| keeper, He taught himself to ride, went hunting with county gentry and shooting in Scotland, and ran a racing stable. | |||||||
| However, he had not yet fully "arrived." The Jockey Club turned down his application for membership. | |||||||
| "His friendship with the Prince of Wales finally opened the social portals to Ernest Cassel. They met when Cassel became | |||||||
| executor to Baron de Hirsch, private banker and financial adviser to the Prince. Cassel took over the role himself and soon | |||||||
| joined the exclusive circle of witty, smart and worldly intimates that flocked round the future King of England. He had none | |||||||
| of their qualities of sophistication and skill for clever repartee. He was a gruff, shy man, scornful of the gambling and | |||||||
| clandestine romances in the Prince's set. | |||||||
| "Cassel was so obviously out of place that people concluded wrongly his friendship with Edward stemmed not from personal | |||||||
| regard but from ulterior motives. The financier wanted social acceptance. The Prince needed the tips and advice he could | |||||||
| on profitable investments - and occasional help in hard cash. | |||||||
| "In business Cassel drove himself to make more money. Towards the end of the century he formed a company which built | |||||||
| the Central London Railway, the first "tube" or underground in the city. As far back as 1897, he saw the profits in the | |||||||
| inevitable European war still 17 years ahead. He invested in shipbuilding concerns and created a great armaments combine | |||||||
| of the Vickers and Maxim gun-making companies. In 1898 Cassel invaded Egypt with his millions. He formed the Irrigation | |||||||
| Investment Corporation, which in a few years completed the great Assuan and Assiut dames for controlling the flood | |||||||
| the flood waters of the Nile. Cassel not only built the dams at great personal profit, but he snapped up huge tracts of | |||||||
| adjacent land at nominal prices. When this barren territory received the life-giving waters from the dams, its value jumped | |||||||
| astronomically. Cassel cleaned up his greatest profit from any single coup. The Prince of Wales persuaded Queen Victoria | |||||||
| to knight him. | |||||||
| "As the intimate of the Prince, Cassel began to entertain on a regal scale. His hospitality, particularly when his house was | |||||||
| graced by the royal presence, became munificent in its splendour. He took to chartering ocean liners and whole flotillas of | |||||||
| Nile steamboats to accommodate his guests for weeks at a time. When Edward came to the throne in 1901, the social | |||||||
| position of the favoured Cassel caused great court criticism and resentment. The same year, Cassel's daughter, Maud, | |||||||
| married the future Lord Mount Temple. The King was godfather to her first child. To live up to his new position, Cassel | |||||||
| in 1905 acquired Brook House, a cavernous, opulent mansion in Park Lane. Renovations and improvements took three years. | |||||||
| "The day Edward VII died in May, 1910, he sent for Cassel and insisted on dressing and seeing him against the advice of | |||||||
| his doctors. The financier was the last of his circle to see the King alive. Despite the undercurrent of ulterior motive, there | |||||||
| was genuine affection between the two contrasting men. After he heard the King had died, Cassel called on another friend, | |||||||
| Margot Asquith, wife of the Prime Minister. The two of them "sat on a sofa and wept quietly together." An even greater | |||||||
| blow overwhelmed Cassel the following year. His beloved daughter became infected with the dread disease that carried off | |||||||
| her mother. Frantically Cassel shuttled her back and forth across the world in search of a cure. He consulted doctors and | |||||||
| tried climates as far apart as Egypt and Alaska. It was futile. In the spring of 1911, she died. Her desolate father had | |||||||
| nothing left but his millions and her two baby daughters - who, when he made a new will, became the two richest | |||||||
| prospective heiresses in England. | |||||||
| "The savour, however, had gone from money-making. Sir Ernest Cassel retired from active business. He closed the little | |||||||
| office where he made his millions and bought a building where an army of clerks worked simply to administer his vast | |||||||
| investments. He went back into business briefly in 1915 when he successfully negotiated for the Government the first | |||||||
| American war loan to Britain of 500 million dollars. | |||||||
| "The war brought him fresh bitterness. His German origin roused the enmity of certain groups in England who took legal | |||||||
| action to have him removed from the Privy Council to which Edward VII had appointed him. The High Court threw out their | |||||||
| case. That did not heal the hurt to Cassel whose loyalty to England had never wavered for nearly 50 years. He retired | |||||||
| even more behind the gloomy facade of Brook House, where in his last years he developed a curious miserliness in minor | |||||||
| personal expenditure. At the same time he was pouring out cash in charitable gifts. In his life he gave away £2 millions, | |||||||
| most of it in his last few years. His only pleasure came from his two grand-daughters. The elder, and favourite, 17-years- | |||||||
| old Edwina, now [1956] Lady Mountbatten, went to live with him in 1919 and softened some of his loneliness. | |||||||
| "On September 21 [1921], Sir Ernest Cassel collapsed and died of a heart attack at his desk. He had just completed the | |||||||
| purchase, for £88,000, of the Riviera villa of King Leopold of the Belgians. His grand-daughters shared £7 and a half millions | |||||||
| from his estate. Taking into account his charities and personal spending, it was estimated he had earned twice that much | |||||||
| in his life - one of the greatest examples of money-making in a single generation that England has seen." | |||||||
| Sir (Pierre) Louis Napoleon Cavagnari [KCB 1879] | |||||||
| In the 1911 edition of the "Encyclopaedia Britannica" Sir Louis Cavagnari is noticed with the entry:- | |||||||
| "British military administrator, the son of a French general by his marriage with an Irish lady, was born at Stenay, in the | |||||||
| department of the Meuse, on the 4th of July 1841. He nevertheless obtained naturalization as an Englishman, and entered | |||||||
| the military service of the East India Company. After passing through the college at Addiscombe [the East India Company | |||||||
| Military Seminary], he served through the Oudh campaign against the mutineers in 1858 and 1859. In 1861 he was | |||||||
| appointed an assistant commissioner in the Punjab, and in 1877 became deputy commissioner of Peshawar and took part | |||||||
| in several expeditions against the hill tribes. In 1878 he was attached to the staff of the British mission to Kabul, which | |||||||
| the Afghans refused to allow to proceed. In May 1879, after the death of the amir Shere Ali, Cavagnari negotiated and | |||||||
| signed the treaty of Gandamak with his successor, Yakub Khan. By this the Afghans agreed to admit a British resident at | |||||||
| Kabul, and the post was conferred on Cavagnari, who also received the Star of India and was made a K.C.B. He took up | |||||||
| his residence in July, and for a time all seemed to go well, but on the 3rd of September Cavagnari and the other European | |||||||
| members of the mission [along with their guards who were members of the Corps of Guides] were massacred in a sudden | |||||||
| rising of mutinous Afghan troops." | |||||||
| An eyewitness account of the massacre was published in "The Times of India" on 30 September, 1879, written by Timur, | |||||||
| a sowar in the B Troop of the Corps of Guides. | |||||||
| "I was in the Bala Hissar, Cabul [an ancient fortress], on the 3rd inst. Major Sir Louis Cavagnari and the other British | |||||||
| officers were in the bungalow. At about 8 a.m. the Turkestani "Ordal" regiment, which was in the Bala Hissar, was paraded | |||||||
| to receive its pay. Daood Shah, the Commander-in-Chief, gave them one month's pay. They claimed two, and broke. | |||||||
| "They were paraded quite close to the Residency, and another regiment was also quartered with them. | |||||||
| "One of the soldiery shouted out, "Let us destroy the Envoy first of all, and after that the Ameer." They rushed into the | |||||||
| courtyard in front of the Residency and stoned some of the syces [grooms or stable attendants] who were sitting there. | |||||||
| We then opened fire on them, without orders from any European. All the British officers were inside. | |||||||
| "The Ameer's men then went for their weapons and returned with them in a quarter of an hour. If in that time the British | |||||||
| officers had so desired, they might have escaped. They then commenced to besiege the Residency, and from commanding | |||||||
| positions made the roof of the Residency untenable. We then made shelter-trenches on it, and fired from the windows. | |||||||
| "The city people came to help the soldiers at about 10 a.m. Major Sir Louis Cavagnari was wounded in the forehead | |||||||
| about 1 p.m.; he was in a shelter-trench. A man from the roof of a house shot at him, and the bullet, striking a brick, | |||||||
| it together with a piece of brick struck Sir Louis. But he was not killed. Mr. Jenkyns came up and sent for a Munshi [a | |||||||
| native interpreter] to write to the Ameer, but the scribe was unable to write through fear. | |||||||
| "I then wrote briefly to the Ameer that we were besieged and he was to help us, and sent it by Ghulam Nabbi, a Kabuli, an | |||||||
| old Guide sowar, who was in the Residency. No answer came. Ghulam Nabbi afterwards told me that the Ameer wrote on | |||||||
| the letter, "If God will, I am just making arrangements." | |||||||
| "Major Cavagnari was helped into the Residency and attended to by Dr. Kelly. Mr. Jenkyns then ordered me to send a | |||||||
| second letter to the Ameer, stating that Major Cavagnari was wounded and to hasten on assistance. This letter was sent | |||||||
| by a Hindu, whose name I don't know. He was cut to pieces in front of the Residency. I was at about 3 p.m. sent with a | |||||||
| letter by Lieut. Hamilton, promising six months' pay. By that time they had managed to get on the roof of the Residency. | |||||||
| I went armed into the midst of the crowd, and was immediately stripped of my arms, but my life was saved by an officer. | |||||||
| I then said I had a promise to give them six months' pay. They threw me from the roof of the Residency on to the roof of | |||||||
| the neighbouring house. I lost my senses, was stripped of everything I had, and was taken to General Karim Khan, who | |||||||
| commanded the brigade which had mutinied. He was sitting on a bed, surrounded by fifty or sixty men. I did not see him | |||||||
| give any orders, but when I told him I had come to give six months' pay to the troops, and that he must stop their | |||||||
| fighting, he said he was helpless in the matter, and ordered me to be confined. I know nothing of what happened after | |||||||
| this, but I visited the place next morning. | |||||||
| "I recollect they had begun to set fire to the Residency just as I was leaving. A wounded havildar [sergeant] of the | |||||||
| Ameer's, who was brought to the house where I was imprisoned, let me escape for extracting a bullet from his back. It | |||||||
| was then morning. [At] daybreak I went to the Residency and saw first the corpse of Lieutenant Hamilton lying over a | |||||||
| mountain-gun, which had been brought up. The troops who were there told me Lieut. Hamilton had shot about three men | |||||||
| with his pistol and had cut down two more before he was shot. He was stripped and cut to pieces, but not dishonoured. | |||||||
| About twenty-five feet off was the body of Mr. Jenkyns in a similar state. I did not go into the Residency, but was told | |||||||
| Dr. Kelly was lying killed in the Residency. Sir Louis Cavagnari was in the Residency when it fell in flames. He was in the | |||||||
| room where the wounded were, and his body had not been discovered when I left the city. All bodies found in the | |||||||
| Residency were so burned that they could not be recognised." | |||||||
| Sir Edwin Chadwick [KCB 1889] | |||||||
| The following biography of Sir Edwin Chadwick, one of the great public health reformers of the 19th century, appeared in | |||||||
| the May 1956 issue of the monthly Australian magazine "Parade":- | |||||||
| "One summer's day in 1849, a party of gentlemen, holding vinegar-soaked handkerchiefs to their noses, stumbled down | |||||||
| the rickety staircase of a slum tenement in St. Giles, London. Above them, in the noisome garret they had just left, a | |||||||
| family of eight were living in stench and squalor. In a corner was the coffin of a girl who had died of cholera 12 days | |||||||
| earlier. As the visitors reached the street, Edwin Chadwick turned grimly to his companions. "You see, I do not exaggerate | |||||||
| our problem!" he said. In that terrible year of 1849 more than 70,000 people died in the worst cholera epidemic in British | |||||||
| history. Thanks to Edwin Chadwick the horrors were never to be repeated. | |||||||
| "Edwin Chadwick was born in Manchester on January 24, 1800. His father was a radical journalist whose sympathy for | |||||||
| Napoleon forced him to flee to America. Thrown on his own resources, young Chadwick became a clerk in a London | |||||||
| attorney's office. He also wrote for newspapers, and was secretary to the old philosopher Jeremy Bentham, whose aim was | |||||||
| "the greatest good for the greatest number." | |||||||
| "Chadwick early began investigating the fever dens of the East End. When he himself was struck down with typhoid, he | |||||||
| determined to devote the rest of his life to a crusade for public health. His chance came when he was appointed secretary | |||||||
| of the new Poor Law Board. He at once dominated it. His scarifying report on a fever outbreak in Whitechapel forced the | |||||||
| Government to set up a Royal Commission into the Sanitary Conditions of the Labouring Population. For three years | |||||||
| Chadwick scoured Britain to collect evidence. | |||||||
| "He poked a prying. nose into filthy, densely-packed slums growing round the booming new industrial cities of the north. He | |||||||
| questioned angry slum landlords, their wretched tenants, and the ignorant "Bumbles" of local authorities. He found that | |||||||
| some of the back alleys of Manchester had not been cleaned for five years. There, as in Leeds, Sheffield and Birmingham, | |||||||
| the great mass of people lived in fever dens amid heaps of refuse and the seepings of overflowing cesspools. | |||||||
| "Even the hardiest Tory quailed before the evidence Chadwick amassed. It embarrassed his own Poor Law Board, who | |||||||
| ganged up to get rid of him. Their chance came in the turmoil of the "Andover Scandal" of 1846, when it was revealed that | |||||||
| the half-starved inmates of Andover workhouse were gnawing the bones they were set to grind. Public fury exploded. The | |||||||
| Board was reorganised. Chadwick, the only champion of the poor on the Board, was made the scapegoat and sacked. | |||||||
| Chadwick fought back. His friends, including reformer Lord Shaftesbury, rallied to his aid. In 1848, when the first Public | |||||||
| Health Act in British history became law, Chadwick was the dominant member of the Health Board then set up. Chadwick | |||||||
| was again the chief investigator. As he surveyed the London scene of 1848, he may well have been appalled at his task. | |||||||
| "Since 1801 the population of London had swollen from 865,000 to over 2,000,000. Most of the vast intake had been | |||||||
| driven from the country by the Enclosure Acts, as the birth-rate in London barely kept pace with the staggering death- | |||||||
| rate. The newcomers were housed in a noxious network of slum streets, alleys and courts, stretching east from White- | |||||||
| chapel and Mile End, south over the marshes of Lambeth, and north from Holborn and Moorfields. The poverty and over- | |||||||
| crowding were almost unbelievable. In the notorious "rookery" of St. Giles, Chadwick found 944 people living in 26 foul old | |||||||
| houses clustered round a court 22 feet wide, with a single pump at one end and one latrine at the other to serve all 944 | |||||||
| wretched inmates. | |||||||
| "Most of the 270,000 houses in London had cesspools under them, often three or four. Chadwick probed cellars where | |||||||
| whole families were sleeping, while filth from overflowing cesspools ran down the walls and over the floor. Outside the | |||||||
| slaughterhouses in Whitechapel, the gutters ran with gore. "Blood, black and clotted, entrails and manure lay in large heaps | |||||||
| on the pavement, with infection and putridity on every side." Even the West End aristocracy fared little better. Under | |||||||
| fashionable Portman and Cavendish Squares was a maze of ancient brick sewers, so decrepit that they could not be | |||||||
| flushed for fear they would collapse. Six of the nine private companies supplying London with water drew their supplies | |||||||
| from the Thames, into which every sewer and drain in the city emptied. | |||||||
| "Even more horrifying, said Chadwick, were the burial grounds. Every year, about 50,000 dead Londoners were crammed | |||||||
| into vaults and churchyards in the city area, until the mouldering coffins were piled a dozen deep and the top layer was | |||||||
| sometimes only nine inches below the surface. Members of church congregations often fainted at the vile odour seeping | |||||||
| up from the burial vaults below. In St. George's churchyard, skeletons were dug up and tossed on a refuse heap to make | |||||||
| room for their descendants. | |||||||
| "Even Chadwick's furious energy was almost helpless against apathetic tradition. His Health Board had few legal powers | |||||||
| and could only "advise" local Boards. In London alone, there were 300 parish councils and local paving, drainage and | |||||||
| sewerage authorities all jealous of their own little authority. Many churchmen denounced Chadwick's campaign against | |||||||
| city burial grounds as "sacrilege." Chadwick stormed at his foes as "defenders of the citadel of filth." The whole subsoil of | |||||||
| London, he said, was "sodden with 17,000,000 cubic feet of foul, decaying residuum." | |||||||
| "It took the worst cholera plague in British history to bring the diehards to their senses, and provide Chadwick with grisly | |||||||
| justification. Cholera and typhoid had been frequent visitors to London. In 1831 nearly 6000 had died. The great epidemic | |||||||
| that swept the country in 1849, however, killed more than 70,000 in Britain and 18,000 in London alone. Starting in India | |||||||
| in 1846, the plague marched across Asia and Europe like an avenging army. In 1847 it was in Persia and Turkey. By | |||||||
| June 1848, the hot breath of corruption had reached Moscow and St. Petersburg. Before the end of the year, it was in | |||||||
| Berlin. | |||||||
| "Thousands of refugees streaming from Russia, Poland and Prussia carried the infection into western Europe. In newspapers | |||||||
| and Parliament, Chadwick, Shaftesbury and their friends warned that Britain could not escape. Ahead of the plague came | |||||||
| a wave of panic. The age of Pasteur and Lister had not yet dawned. A few bold doctors believed that cholera was caused | |||||||
| by bacilli in infected water and food, as it is, but the Royal College of Physicians dismissed such idle fancies. Cholera, said | |||||||
| the experts, was caused by, "miasmic vapours." The Queen's Physician recommended a mixture of laudanum, oil of | |||||||
| turpentine and brandy as an antidote. Other doctors advised wrapping a patient in wet blankets, or dosing him with gum | |||||||
| arabic, cinnamon water or spirits of camphor. Flannel "cholera belts" and a diet of boiled rice were also suggested. "Soap | |||||||
| and water was the real answer," said Chadwick bluntly. Clean up the streets, drains, sewers and burial grounds - and | |||||||
| there would be no more cholera. | |||||||
| "In November, 1848, the cholera reached Britain. For the next 10 months it raged with devouring fury. More than 400 | |||||||
| people died in London in June, 1849. The figure rose steadily to 6361 in August, when the foul morass of the slums | |||||||
| sweltered in the summer heat. By early August, the deathroll topped 200 a day, reaching a peak of 336 on September 4. | |||||||
| Bethnal Green, Shoreditch, Lambeth, Southwark and Bermondsey were the worst plague spots, but the mourning hatch- | |||||||
| ing hatchments were going up, too, over the great houses of Mayfair and St. James. | |||||||
| "In one asylum for pauper children, 150 died in a fortnight. Most of the victims collapsed in convulsions less than 24 hours | |||||||
| after the dreaded purple spots appeared on their pallid, shaking bodies. Often the dead and living lay together for days in | |||||||
| slum tenements, till the coffins could be carted out to cemeteries on the city outskirts. Every mean East End street was a | |||||||
| charnel house, over which hung the taint of decomposing bodies. Gaols and workhouses were decimated. In the ships off | |||||||
| Gravesend, Yarmouth and Harwich, fishermen fell dead at their nets. Parliament debated whether it should move to the | |||||||
| country until the scourge subsided. | |||||||
| "At last, with the approach of winter, the cholera began to ebb. Britain, however, had had a terrible lesson. Chadwick | |||||||
| began to reap the reward of his long and bitter propaganda. Burials in city churchyards were forbidden by law. The Health | |||||||
| Board was gradually armed with powers to override the archaic, fumbling parish bodies. A gigantic clean-up slowly got | |||||||
| under way. Chadwick, however, had made so many personal enemies that, when the Health Board was replaced by the | |||||||
| Board of Works in 1855, he was retired on a pension of £1000 a year. | |||||||
| "The Times" summed up the feelings of the many people affronted by his impatient temper: "We prefer to run the risk of | |||||||
| cholera, rather than be bullied into health by Mr. Chadwick!" It was an idiotic and ungrateful comment. Chadwick, anyway, | |||||||
| had no intention of ceasing to bully. He continued his tireless propaganda. When the Board of Works launched its huge | |||||||
| programme of new drains, sewers and water supply, it was Chadwick's vision they were realising. | |||||||
| "In his later years, Chadwick was often called by the British Government to report on sanitary conditions in India and the | |||||||
| army. He received the belated honour of a knighthood in 1889. A year later, on July 6, 1890, Sir Edwin Chadwick died. He | |||||||
| had lived long enough to see London the healthiest metropolis in Europe, and the evil nightmare of cholera plagues | |||||||

| Clifford was the third son of Hugh Charles Clifford, 7th Baron Clifford of Chudleigh. He joined the Army in 1846, and after | |||||||
| gaining military experience in South Africa against both the Boers and rebel native tribes, was appointed aide-de-camp to | |||||||
| Sir George Brown, commander of the light division during the Crimean War. It was here that he won his Victoria Cross, the | |||||||
| citation in the London Gazette (issue 21971, page 662) reading:- | |||||||
| "For conspicuous courage at the Battle of Inkerman, in leading a charge and killing one of the enemy with his sword, | |||||||
| disabling another, and saving the life of a soldier." | |||||||
| After service in China during the Second Opium or Anglo-Chinese War in 1857/1858, he spent the next 20 years in various | |||||||
| staff positions, before returning to South Africa in 1879 to serve in the Zulu War, subsequently retiring with the rank of | |||||||
| Major-General. | |||||||
| Sir Brett Mackay Cloutman VC [Kt Bach 1957] | |||||||
| Cloutman enlisted in the Army at the outbreak of World War I and had risen through the ranks to Acting Major in command | |||||||
| of the 59th Field Company, Royal Engineers, when, in November 1918, he took part in an action which earned him the | |||||||
| award of the Victoria Cross (the last act to win a VC in WW1). The citation in the London Gazette (issue 31155, | |||||||
| page 1503) reads:- | |||||||
| "For most conspicuous bravery on the 6th of November, 1918, at Pont-Sur-Sambre. Maj. Cloutman, after reconnoitring the | |||||||
| river crossings, found the Quartres Bridge almost intact but prepared for demolition. Leaving his party under cover he | |||||||
| went forward alone, swam across the river, and having cut the "leads" from the charges, returned the same way, despite | |||||||
| the fact the bridge and all approaches thereto were swept by enemy shells and machine-gun fire at close range. Although | |||||||
| the bridge was blown up later in the day by other means, the abutments remained intact." | |||||||
| After the war Cloutman entered the legal profession, being appointed a KC in 1946, and rising to become Senior Official | |||||||
| Referee of the Supreme Court. | |||||||
| Sir Alexander Stanhope Cobbe VC [KCB 1917, KCSI 1919 and GCB 1928] | |||||||
| Born in India, Cobbe was commissioned in the South Wales Borderers (of Rorke's Drift fame) in 1889. In 1894 he was | |||||||
| transferred to the Indian Army Staff Corps where he took part in the Relief of Chitral in 1895. After his regiment was | |||||||
| transferred to Africa, Cobbe fought in the Ashanti War in 1900. In 1902, Cobbe was promoted to the local rank of | |||||||
| Lieutenant-Colonel and appointed commandant of the 1st Battalion of the King's African Rifles, before being deployed to | |||||||
| British Somaliland in the campaign against Mohammed Abdullah Hassan ("the Mad Mullah") who established the Dervish | |||||||
| State and was agitating against British rule. It was here that his won his Victoria Cross, the citation in the London | |||||||
| Gazette (issue 27517, page 385) reading:- | |||||||
| "During the action at Erego, on 6th October, 1902, when some of the Companies had retired, Lieutenant-Colonel Cobbe | |||||||
| was left by himself in front of the line, with a Maxim gun. Without assistance he brought in the Maxim, and worked it at | |||||||
| a most critical time. He then went out under an extremely hot fire from the enemy about 20 yards in front of him, and | |||||||
| from his own men (who had retired) about the same distance behind, and succeeded in carrying in a wounded orderly. | |||||||
| Colonel Swayne, who was in command of the Force, personally witnessed this Officer's conduct, which he describes as | |||||||
| most gallant." | |||||||
| After Somaliland, Cobbe held staff positions in India until the outbreak of WW1, when he was transferred to France. He | |||||||
| returned to India in 1916 as a Major General and was subsequently transferred to Mesopotamia as a temporary Lieutenant | |||||||
| General, this rank becoming substantive in 1919. Later appointments include Military Secretary to the India Office (twice), | |||||||
| General (1926) and General Office Commanding Northern Command India. | |||||||
| Sir Charles Blake Cochran [Kt Bach 1948] | |||||||
| Cochran was a giant in the world of light entertainment in the United Kingdom. According to an obituary, he was | |||||||
| responsible for the craze for roller-skating before World War I, he organised circuses and rodeos, promoted big boxing | |||||||
| and wrestling matches, but was famous most of all for spectacular stage shows in which his "young ladies" (as his | |||||||
| chorus lines were known) were always attractive both for their beauty and their charm. During his lifetime he made and | |||||||
| lost several fortunes. | |||||||
| After an early career in an office and then as a failed comedian, Cochran tried his hand in America where he was given | |||||||
| small parts in cheap companies and circuses and peddled fountain pens and quack medicines. For three years he acted as | |||||||
| secretary to the actor Richard Mansfield [1857-1907]. After returning to London, he tried his hand as a theatrical agent, | |||||||
| in which role he promptly demonstrated that he had ideas and enterprise. He produced a number of shows by strongmen | |||||||
| such as George Hackenschmidt [1877-1968] and "The Terrible Turk" [Yusuf Ismail (1857-1898)]. He also organised all | |||||||
| sorts of strange entertainments, including those of hypnotists, dwarves and Harry Houdini. He introduced roller-skating | |||||||
| into France, Belgium and Germany. | |||||||
| In 1911 he produced the play "The Miracle," the brilliant staging of which with a chorus of 500 and an orchestra of 200 | |||||||
| established his fame as an artistic showman. From that time onwards he had a string of successes, including the | |||||||
| production of plays and operas, the management of prize fights and the first rodeo ever held in England. He was described | |||||||
| as the "British Barnum," but the artistic form which he gave to many of his productions lifted him above the level this | |||||||
| nickname implies. | |||||||
| He met a painful death in January 1951. By this time he was crippled with arthritis, for the relief of which he often took a | |||||||
| hot bath in the morning. According to his wife, she 'heard a shout and rushed into the bathroom. My husband was in | |||||||
| agony. He had apparently turned on the hot water and the tap jammed [other sources state that, due to his arthritis he | |||||||
| was either unable to reach the tap, or, if he could, was unable to turn it off]. He was terribly scalded about the legs and | |||||||
| back, and was unable to get out of the bath. With our housekeeper, I managed to lift him out.' Taken to hospital where | |||||||
| he was given blood transfusions, he failed to survive. | |||||||

| Sir Arthur William Coles [Kt Bach 1960] | |||||||
| Sir Norman Cameron Coles [Kt Bach 1977] | |||||||
| Dame Mabel Irene Coles [DBE 1971] | |||||||
| George W. Coles, a small shopkeeper in country Victoria, was twice married and produced seven sons, together with a | |||||||
| number of daughters. Of these seven sons, two (James and David) died in World War 1. The remaining five sons, uniquely, | |||||||
| were all knighted, a record which is unlikely to be broken. In addition, the wife of the one of the sons (Sir Edgar) was | |||||||
| made a Dame in her own right. | |||||||
| Beginning with a single "variety store" in Melbourne in 1914, Coles & Co. has grown into an Australia-wide chain of just | |||||||
| under 800 supermarkets, with 165,000 employees at the end of 2015. Each of the five brothers was heavily involved in | |||||||
| the management of the company, in addition to being known for their various philanthropies. | |||||||
