| Sir William Conrad Reeves [Kt Bach 1889] | |||||||
| Doubt exists as to Reeves' date of birth - Who's Who says 1838, his obituary in "The Times" gives it as 1827, and other | |||||||
| sources show it as 1821. I have chosen to use the date shown in Who's Who, but I'm willing to amend the date if any | |||||||
| reader can provide authoritive reason to do so. | |||||||
| Reeves holds the distinction of being the first negro to be granted a knighthood. After qualifying as a barrister at the | |||||||
| Middle Temple and returning to the West Indies in 1863, he became Attorney General of St. Vincent and subsequently | |||||||
| Attorney General of Barbados between 1882 and 1886. During this period he was appointed as a QC in 1883. In 1886 | |||||||
| he was appointed Chief Justice of Barbados, the first negro to hold such a position. | |||||||
| Sir William James Reid [KCIE 1924] | |||||||
| Sir William shot his wife and then himself in November 1939. The inquest was reported in the "Derby Evening Telegraph" | |||||||
| of 25 November 1939:- | |||||||
| "Hard hit" by the war and depressed by evacuees billeted at his home, Sir William James Reid shot his wife while they were | |||||||
| walking in the woods near his house, then killed himself. Their dog was found sitting between them. | |||||||
| "This was the story told at the inquest held today at their home, Durford Rise, near Petersfield, Hants. The bodies of Sir | |||||||
| William and Lady Reid were found in Durford Wood on Thursday after a search lasting 36 hours. They had been missing | |||||||
| since Tuesday when, accompanied by a favourite dog, they went for a walk in the woods near by. | |||||||
| "Sir William Reid was formerly acting Governor of Assam. Lieut.-Col. F. Hyde Edwards, retired, of Landfall, Petersfield, a | |||||||
| brother of Lady Reid, gave evidence to-day that Sir William and his wife had been living happily together until recently. Sir | |||||||
| William was 68, and his wife 64. Ever since the outbreak of war he had shown signs of worry and depression. "On one | |||||||
| occasion my sister said to me 'I am so frightened I really believe he is going out of his mind,' " said Lieut.-Colonel Edwards. | |||||||
| The Coroner: Did he make any complaint of having children billeted on him? - No, I have heard no complaints. "He had a | |||||||
| most frightful obsession that he was not doing enough for the country," went on Col. Edwards. "He said that he must live | |||||||
| more cheaply, and give up his house and car." Sir William would not allow Lady Reid to have a fire in the room until six | |||||||
| o'clock owing to a shortage of money. The Coroner: As a matter of fact, he was not short of money? Colonel Edwards: I | |||||||
| do not know. He had a pension from the Indian Civil Service and also private means. There was no special reason why Sir | |||||||
| William should be so careful, he added. | |||||||
| "Mr Charles Prettejohn, a retired tea planter and neighbour, said that since the war Sir William Reid had largely lost his | |||||||
| sense of proportion. "He asked me to go over with him on his wife's behalf to try to get the evacuees taken from the | |||||||
| house," continued Mr Prettejohn. "I took him to Midhurst and he saw the authorities. Afterwards he was very dissatisfied | |||||||
| because I know he got rather short shrift." The Coroner: The evacuees had depressed him? - Yes, distinctly. When their | |||||||
| bodies were found, said Mr Prettejohn, he saw Lady Reid lying on a path in the woods and her husband in a ditch about | |||||||
| five feet away. | |||||||
| "Dr W.L. Scott stated that Sir William had a gunshot wound in the chest. Lady Reid had a wound in the head and had | |||||||
| apparently been shot from behind. "It was owing to his intense fondness for his wife that he attempted to get rid of the | |||||||
| evacuee children billeted with them," the doctor added. "He told me that he was quite sure that his wife could not carry | |||||||
| on. He thought she would break down. James Hall, a gamekeeper, said that a dog lead was in Lady Reid's hand. The dog | |||||||
| was off the lead and was sitting between them, he thought asleep. Mrs Grace Cunningham, housekeeper, said: "Lady Reid | |||||||
| told me that the war had hit them hard, and that Sir William was worried." | |||||||
| "The jury returned a verdict that Sir William Reid murdered his wife and shot himself while of unsound mind." | |||||||
| Sir James William Restler [nominated KBE 1918, but not invested] | |||||||
| Restler was nominated as a Knight Commander of the British Empire in the 1918 King's Birthday Honours List, but he died | |||||||
| before he could be invested. Accordingly, the Edinburgh Gazette (issue 13416, page 1138) contained a notice dated 7 | |||||||
| March 1919 which read: "The King has been pleased, by Warrant under His Majesty's Royal Sign Manual, bearing date the | |||||||
| 11th February 1919, to ordain and declare that Janet Ferguson Restler, widow of James William Restler, Esquire, late | |||||||
| Chairman of the Metropolitan Munitions Committee and Chief Engineer of the Metropolitan Water Board, shall have, hold | |||||||
| and enjoy the style, title, place and precedence to which she would have been entitled had her husband survived to be | |||||||
| invested with the Insignia of a Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire." | |||||||
| Sir James Robinson [nominated Kt Bach 1928, but not invested] | |||||||
| The name of James Robinson, Lord Mayor of Cardiff in 1913, appeared in the 1928 New Year's Honours List in recognition of | |||||||
| his public and political services. Although the New Year's Honours List was dated 2 January 1928, Robinson had died a week | |||||||
| earlier, and the retention his name in the Honours List was an act of consideration for his widow. | |||||||
| Shortly afterwards, the London Gazette (issue 33364, page 1676) contained a notice dated 6 March 1928 which stated | |||||||
| that "The King has been graciously pleased, by Warrant under His Majesty's Sign Manual, to grant unto Harriet Agnes, | |||||||
| widow of the late Alderman James Robinson, C.B.E., the style, title, rank and precedence to which she would have been | |||||||
| entitled had her husband survived to receive the degree, style and title of a Knight Bachelor which His Majesty had | |||||||
| signified his intention of conferring upon him." | |||||||
| Sir David James Gardiner Rose [GCMG 1966] | |||||||
| Sir David Rose is a perfect example of "being in the wrong place at the wrong time," as is shown in the following report | |||||||
| from "The Guardian" of 11 November 1969:- | |||||||
| "Sir David Rose, aged 46, the retiring Governor-General of Guyana, was crushed to death under a nine-storey scaffolding | |||||||
| which collapsed in Whitehall Place, Westminster, yesterday, trapping him, his son John, and two other people in their | |||||||
| Daimler. | |||||||
| "The War Office security guard said that after the crash several workmen were hanging from girders on a parapet. "There | |||||||
| was a noise like an avalanche, and the scaffolding tumbled from the top of a building," an eyewitness said. | |||||||
| "The limousine, its roof crushed to bonnet level, was buried under a 25-foot pile of twisted metal. It took police and | |||||||
| firemen, using cutting equipment, an hour to free it. | |||||||
| "Mr. John Rose was released from Westminster Hospital last night after treatment for shock. The other occupants of the | |||||||
| Daimler were Mr. Paul Mittlehaizer, chief protocol officer, who underwent an operation and was later said to be in "fairly | |||||||
| good" condition, and a chauffeur, who was able to go home after treatment for shock. An injured scaffold worker was also | |||||||
| taken to hospital. | |||||||
| "The scaffold had been erected for a cleaning operation on Whitehall Court. Passers-by tried to free the trapped men | |||||||
| almost before the dust settled. Workers at the nearby Ministry of Defence joined in the rescue. The War Office guard said: | |||||||
| "The passers-by were straining to lift the girders and free the people inside - but it was hopeless." | |||||||
| "Sir David, who was to relinquish his post in February, when Guyana becomes a republic, was in London to take leave of | |||||||
| the Queen. Born in Georgetown, British Guiana, he was the first Guyanese to become Governor-General of his country. He | |||||||
| was educated at Mount St. Mary's College, Spinkhill, near Sheffield, and served in the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry | |||||||
| during the war. In 1960, he was appointed Federal Defence Officer in the former Federation of the West Indies. Sir David | |||||||
| retired when the federation was dissolved in 1962, became Governor of British Guiana in 1964 [this is not correct - the | |||||||
| Governor between 1964 and 1966 was Sir Richard Luyt], and when it became independent in 1966, took over as Governor- | |||||||
| General." | |||||||
| Sir Ronald Ross [KCB 1911 and KCMG 1918] | |||||||
| According to the World Health Organization, mosquito bites result in the death of more than 1 million people every year, | |||||||
| the majority of such deaths being due to malaria. As a result, the mosquito is the greatest killer on the planet. The | |||||||
| following biography of Sir Ronald Ross, discoverer of the malarial parasite which proved that malaria was transmitted by | |||||||
| mosquitoes, appeared in the April 1964 issue of the monthly Australian magazine "Parade":- | |||||||
| "The British garrison at Bangalore, India in 1884 was convinced that the unit doctor was a dangerous eccentric. His | |||||||
| behaviour was extraordinary. Vases from his bungalow had been dumped in a shed and he had turned the numerous tubs in | |||||||
| his garden upside down. He had even drained an ornamental pool and got rid of all the fish bowls in the area. But Dr. | |||||||
| Ronald Ross was far from an eccentric. He was simply doing something constructive to rid himself and the garrison of the | |||||||
| hosts of mosquitoes which, he believed, could be the source of malaria. Despite the ridicule his superiors heaped on him, | |||||||
| Ross went on to make medical history by proving that the micro-organisms of malaria are spread by mosquitoes. It was | |||||||
| this discovery that showed scientists the way to come to grips with one of mankind's most terrible scourges. | |||||||
| "In ancient times several large-scale attempts were made to defeat the disease. The ancient Greeks believed good | |||||||
| drainage would help eradicate it. Working on the same principle that the sickness had its origin in stagnant water, the | |||||||
| Romans drained the Pontine Marshes. When the Spaniards went to Peru in the 16th century, a medical cure was | |||||||
| discovered for the first time although the true source of the disease remained unknown. | |||||||
| "The Spanish Jesuit missionaries discovered the anti-malarial action of cinchona bark. In 1678, King Charles II was cured | |||||||
| of malaria by Robert Talbor [1642-1681] with a secret formula containing cinchona bark. Later, Talbor earned further | |||||||
| distinction by curing members of the French royal family. He was appointed personal physician to the Queen of Spain. The | |||||||
| bark of another South American tree, known as quina-quina, was also found to contain anti-malarial properties. But | |||||||
| about 140 years were to pass before two French chemists, Pierre Pelletier [1788-1842] and Joseph Caventou [1795-1877] | |||||||
| succeeded in extracting the active constituents from the bark. They called the most important of these quinine. | |||||||
| "Until 1847, South America was the only source of the bark Then, when the Peruvian crops threatened to fail, the British | |||||||
| and Dutch Governments began cultivating the trees in Ceylon and the East Indies. In 1882 a French medical officer in | |||||||
| Algeria, Alphonse Laveran [1845-1922], discovered the malaria parasite in human red blood corpuscles. It was a moment- | |||||||
| ous breakthrough, for it represented the first step towards solving the mystery of malaria. Two years later, Laveran said | |||||||
| mosquitoes might be the cause of the disease. But he admitted he was only guessing. It was Ronald Ross who was to | |||||||
| prove Laveran's theory. | |||||||
| "Ross was born in India, at Almora near the Himalaya Mountains, on May 13, 1857, son of General Campbell Ross, of the | |||||||
| Indian Army. During his early life, Ross moved from one military post to another with his family. In 1865 he was sent to | |||||||
| England to be educated at a school near his uncle's home in the Isle of Wight. His uncle possessed a fine library and it was | |||||||
| from some of the volumes there that Ross first developed an interest in poetry. He probably acquired his interest in zoology | |||||||
| by studying a vast aquarium which was his aunt's chief interest. | |||||||
| "When he was 17, Ross enrolled as a medical student at St. Bartholomew's hospital in London, thus taking the first step | |||||||
| towards a career in the Army Medical Service. But medical studies took a second place to a new-found interest in | |||||||
| modelling, musical composition and poetry. Shortly before his final examinations he decided to do something constructive | |||||||
| about the course he was supposed to be taking. He studied night and day and managed to scrape through and gain | |||||||
| entrance to the Royal College of Surgeons. But he failed to qualify as an apothecary. In 1880, Ross took a post as ship's | |||||||
| surgeon on an Atlantic tramp steamer. He continued studying for his apothecary examination during his first five voyages | |||||||
| on the ship and gathered material for a book he published a few years later. Early in 1881 he qualified as an apothecary | |||||||
| and received his commission in the Indian Army Medical Service. He was stationed at the military hospital in Madras. | |||||||
| "His interest in mosquitoes as possible malaria-carriers began in 1884 while he was acting as garrison surgeon at Bangalore. | |||||||
| He had to show an interest in them, for they tormented him night and day. In an effort to eliminate them he began | |||||||
| throwing out flower vases, upturning garden tubs and emptying ponds. As the clouds of mosquitoes diminished, the jibes | |||||||
| of his fellow officers became more biting. But he continued his campaign. | |||||||
| "After Bangalore, Ross was transferred first to Burma and then to the Andaman Islands. He returned to Madras in 1887 on | |||||||
| verge of a physical breakdown. He was sent to England on leave, acquired a wife, more medical knowledge, and a reput- | |||||||
| ation as a literary man when he published two more novels. He returned to Bangalore as staff surgeon in 1889. He devoted | |||||||
| himself to the discovery of the malaria parasite which, Laveran had claimed, could be found in the blood of malaria victims. | |||||||
| It was not his fault he did not succeed. The trouble was actually caused by Laveran, who had given a misleading | |||||||
| description of the parasites. | |||||||
| "In 1894 Ross, with his wife and two daughters, again returned to England on leave. One of his first missions there was to | |||||||
| contact Dr. [later Sir] Patrick Manson, a leading authority on malaria research. He told Manson that although he had | |||||||
| examined the blood of hundreds of malaria patients under a microscope, he had never found a single parasite. Manson | |||||||
| convinced him they were there nevertheless. Once more back in India, Ross decided on a new approach. He would seek | |||||||
| the parasite, not in the patients' blood, but in the mosquitoes themselves. During two years' steady work, he did not find | |||||||
| the parasite. But he did make several important discoveries including a method of calculating mathematically the number of | |||||||
| malaria parasites in blood and the time they took to breed. | |||||||
| "By the morning of August 20, 1897, his collection of anopheles mosquitoes had been reduced to three without finding a | |||||||
| single parasite. One of the three died during the day. The second was found to be free of parasites. Hot, tired and | |||||||
| dispirited, Ross laid the last under his microscope and peered into the instrument's eyepiece. He slowly dissected the | |||||||
| insect's tissue. And there in the mosquito's stomach he saw it - a clear and almost circular outline. It was the malaria | |||||||
| parasite. Ross wasted no time announcing his historic discovery to the Madras Medical Service. His reward was immediate - | |||||||
| he was sent to the front to make sure he concerned himself with more important matters. To add to his bitterness medical | |||||||
| superiors poured scorn on "Major Ross's stupid theories." | |||||||
| "While Ross was at the front and deprived of research facilities, an Italian scientist, Giovanni Grassi [1854-1925], discov- | |||||||
| ered that it was the anopheles mosquito alone that carried the malaria parasite. Had Ross been allowed to continue his | |||||||
| work at Madras, it is likely he would have made this important discovery himself. Now with the findings of Ross and Grassi, | |||||||
| it was a simple matter to trace the malaria cycle. | |||||||
| "The British Army's refusal to take any notice of his discovery made Ronald Ross disgusted. He resigned from the army and | |||||||
| returned to England. But the world of science appreciated his great work. In 1902 he was awarded the Nobel Medical Prize | |||||||
| [Laveran was awarded the same prize in 1907] and nine years later he was knighted by King George V. By then he was | |||||||
| seriously indulging in what had once been no more than hobbies. He became interested in mathematics and produced | |||||||
| several original works on the algebra of space. He also published more novels and poetic works. Sir Ronald Ross, one of | |||||||
| mankind's great benefactors, died quietly on September 16, 1932." | |||||||
| Sir Thomas Ross [Kt Bach 1839] | |||||||
| Ross, who was Inspecting Commander of the Coast Guard, was knighted by the Marquess of Normanby, Lord Lieutenant of | |||||||
| Ireland, in 1839 in recognition of his actions in saving the lives of some of the crew of the brig "Gainsborough" after it was | |||||||
| wrecked at Malahide in Ireland in November 1838. | |||||||
| The following extracts are taken from the website "Coastguards of Yesteryear" which is dedicated to the coastguards who | |||||||
| lived and worked around the Irish coast. | |||||||
| "In the Cove, Malahide outside the Band Room stands a granite neoceltic cross on a concrete plinth. The cross commem- | |||||||
| orates the drowning of three seamen who were lost (names not recorded) from the brig or two-masted square-rigged | |||||||
| sailing vessel, the Gainsborough, which was wrecked here in 1838, at Gay Brook Cove, Malahide [about 16km north of | |||||||
| Dublin]. It was later thought prudent not to inscribe the memorial as it was hinted that the unlucky Gainsborough was | |||||||
| running contraband. Folk memory relates that, as the three drowned seamen were Russians and their names as written in | |||||||
| the Russian text and with its hieroglyphic symbols, could not be accurately translated into English. | |||||||
| "A brig was the smallest of the two-masted, square rigged sailing vessels and a type which was at its peak in the first | |||||||
| quarter of the 19th century. The type was the workhorse of the sea as common then as the Ford on the roads of today. | |||||||
| The specifications of the brig Gainsborough would be as follows: She was registered at 142 tons. Tonnage had nothing | |||||||
| do with weight. It was a measurement of volume in the vessel's hull, calculated at a rate of one ton to 100 cubic feet. | |||||||
| The actual weight of the Gainsborough - her timbers - is less than 100 modern tones. Dimension - lengthy 75'6" - breadth | |||||||
| 21'5" - depth of hold 11'5" | |||||||
| "Extract from the Committee Minutes of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution - 9th January 1839:- | |||||||
| "Read letter from Captain Sparshott of 13th December and Captain Ross Inspecting Commander of the Swords District, | |||||||
| Ireland, stating that the wreck of the Brig Gainsborough on 29th November [1838] at Malahide near Dublin when the | |||||||
| Master, two seamen and one boy were saved (three men lost) with very great difficulty by Captain Ross Inspecting | |||||||
| Commander, Mr Jones, Chief Officer, five coastguards and W. Beggs, Master of a small collier, who went off in the 6-oared | |||||||
| galley and after making three attempts to reach the wreck, at which the boat filled every time, were compelled to desist | |||||||
| and wait for a more favourable opportunity, the weather having moderated a little they again launched boat and | |||||||
| succeeded in taking the survivors from the rigging and landed them. Captain Ross and W. Jones received personal injuries | |||||||
| and the whole of the boat's crew are stated to have acted in the best possible manner. | |||||||
| "Ordered - that the gold medal be presented to Captain Ross and the silver medal to Mr. Jones and Mr. Begg and that an | |||||||
| award be made of Ł2 each to Mr. Jones and Mr. Beggs and Ł1 each to the five coastguard men. The draft for Ł9 to be sent | |||||||
| to Captain Sparshott." | |||||||
| Sir John Thomas Podger Rowland [Kt Bach 1929] | |||||||
| On the afternoon of 28 March 1933, the three crew and 12 passengers in the Armstrong Whitworth Argosy II aeroplane | |||||||
| named "City of Liverpool" which was operated by Imperial Airways, were killed when the plane crashed near Dixmude in | |||||||
| northern Belgium, as reported in "The Times" on 29 March:- | |||||||
| "The Imperial Airways liner City of Liverpool, on the London-Brussels-Cologne service, took fire in the neighbourhood of | |||||||
| Dixmude, Belgium, when returning to Croydon yesterday afternoon, and crashed. All the passengers, pilot, and crew, | |||||||
| numbering 15 persons, were killed. The cause of the accident, Imperial Airways states, is at present unknown. The | |||||||
| following is a list of victims, most of whom were British [then follows a list of the names and addresses of those killed, | |||||||
| including a Mr. Roland, with no address shown, but who was later identified as Sir John Rowland]. | |||||||
| The City of Liverpool had left the aerodrome at Haren, Brussels, at 3.36 p.m. for London. It took off normally, and nothing | |||||||
| untoward happened until the village of Eessen, in the neighbourhood of Dixmude, was reached, when the machine caught | |||||||
| fire, as a result, it is assumed, of an explosion, and crashed. According to those in the vicinity, the machine continued its | |||||||
| flight for over a mile after taking fire. | |||||||
| "An eye-witness gives the following account:- "When the machine had passed over the village of Clercken an engine | |||||||
| caught fire, and in a few seconds the whole machine was in flames. It turned over several times, and the pilot could be | |||||||
| seen trying to right it. When the first flames appeared the aeroplane was at an altitude of between 600ft and 700ft. Finally | |||||||
| it fell at an awful speed and crashed in a ploughed field. | |||||||
| "Debris of goods, bags, and objects of all kinds were lying on the roads and in fields for a distance of over 600 yards. A | |||||||
| woman passenger, Miss Thomson, threw herself out of the machine when it was about 100 yards from the point where it | |||||||
| crashed, and another passenger jumped out just before it touched the ground. The aeroplane was so completely destroyed | |||||||
| that only a skeleton of framework remains. Most of the passengers had remained in the cabin and were burned." | |||||||
| "The villagers of Woumen hurried to the scene, but from the first it was clear that all efforts at rescue were vain. Imperial | |||||||
| Airways at once sent a relief aeroplane and the Belgian company, Sabena, sent two ambulances. Gendarmes arrived from | |||||||
| Dixmude and kept the large crowd which was drawn to the spot from approaching the wreckage. In the course of the | |||||||
| evening the bodies of the victims were taken to Dixmude in Red Cross ambulances." | |||||||
| It has been suggested that this was the first airline crash caused by sabotage, since one of the passengers, a German- | |||||||
| born emigrant to the UK by the name of Albert Voss, who practised as a dentist in Manchester, had supposedly been seen | |||||||
| to have jumped from the plane before it crashed. At the inquest in Voss's death his estranged brother accused him of being | |||||||
| engaged in drug smuggling between Germany and England, and, aware that the police were watching him, deliberately | |||||||
| caused the plane to crash. Although the crash investigators were able to narrow the cause of the crash down to fire | |||||||
| caused by some combustible substance, it was impossible to say whether the combustion was accidental or deliberate, and | |||||||
| the inquest jury returned an open verdict. | |||||||
| Sir Charles Snodgrass Ryan [KBE 1919] | |||||||
| The following [edited] biography of Sir Charles Ryan is taken from the December 1965 issue of the monthly Australian | |||||||
| magazine "Parade":- | |||||||
| "During the Russo-Turkish War of 1878 a group of Greek girls arranged a party for some officers of Osman Pasha's army, | |||||||
| then quartered round Plevna, near the Danube. Among those invited was the 25-year-old Australian doctor Charles Ryan, | |||||||
| who was glad to forget the horrors of an appalling campaign in a few hours' merriment. Suddenly the gaiety was cut short | |||||||
| by the abrupt entrance of a ferocious old Rumanian armed with a blunderbuss. The grandfather of one of the hostesses, | |||||||
| the old man declared his hatred his hatred of all Englishmen, and, glaring at Ryan, announced that he intended shooting | |||||||
| him. Farewelled by shrieks from the girls the Australian took off through the nearest window. Thus for the first and only | |||||||
| time in his life Charles Ryan, who lived to become one of Australia's most famous surgeons, fled for his life. | |||||||
| "When World War I began Ryan's reputation was well established in Victoria. But when it ended he was personally known | |||||||
| to thousands of Diggers all over Australia. Although the complete martinet when he was in uniform, Ryan's autocratic | |||||||
| manner and caustic wit masked a kindly nature. As a result he became an easy victim to a hard-luck story provided it was | |||||||
| well put over. | |||||||
| "It was a long road which led a Victorian country boy to the battlefields of the Balkans and the Caucasus and, almost 40 | |||||||
| years later, to Gallipoli and a knighthood. Born in the little Victorian town of Longwood in 1853, Ryan decided on a medical | |||||||
| career while still at while still at school. Working his passage to Edinburgh, he graduated in medicine and surgery and then | |||||||
| sought post-graduate experience in Bonn and several other famous continental universities. Ryan was in Vienna in 1876 | |||||||
| when he learned that the Turks needed surgeons to serve with their army in the war against Serbia and Montenegro. To | |||||||
| To secure an appointment was easy. Ryan's only difficulty was to pay his fare, as he had lent most of his money to a | |||||||
| to a struggling poet. An obliging pawnbroker solved his problem, enabling him to become the only Australian who ever | |||||||
| pledged his watch to join the Turkish army. | |||||||
| "The horrors of the Balkan war appalled the imagination. While disease and famine stalked the stricken land, both sides | |||||||
| committed atrocities scarcely paralleled since the Middle Ages. Chloroform was so scarce that Ryan had to steel himself | |||||||
| to perform the most agonising operations without anaesthesia. The only bandages available were torn from rolls of cheap | |||||||
| print. The dye ran, but that meant nothing to the corrupt officials in Constantinople. While Sultan Abdul Hamid lounged in | |||||||
| his palace on the Bosphorus, typhus and cholera ravaged his armies. In summer dysentery carried by the flies which | |||||||
| swarmed over the war zone in filthy clouds killed more than bullets. In winter many of the wounded froze to death where | |||||||
| they fell. | |||||||
| "Once Ryan was summoned from the war zone at the orders of a Turkish grandee who wanted him to attend one of the | |||||||
| ladies of his harem. The consultation was far from satisfactory. Led into the dimly lit zenana by armed guards, the doctor | |||||||
| was allowed only to examine his patient's hand, thrust from behind a curtain. Armed with drawn scimitars, a brace of portly | |||||||
| eunuchs stood by to maintain decorum. | |||||||
| "The Serbian war gave Ryan such a high opinion of the courage and fortitude of Turkish soldiers that he remained with the | |||||||
| army when Russia declared war on the Turks and launched a force across the Danube. Ryan was with the force which, | |||||||
| under Osman Pasha, put up a heroic but foredoomed defence of Plevna in 1878. When the pasha surrendered after a three- | |||||||
| month siege the Australian doctor helped to succour the refugees who fled across the December snows in one of history's | |||||||
| most tragic routs. | |||||||
| "After the flight from Plevna, Ryan was moved to Asia Minor, where he was involved in the desperate siege of Erzeroum. | |||||||
| During the attack on this great mountain fortress Charles Ryan was captured by the Russians. Astounded to find an | |||||||
| Australian in the Caucasus they treated him courteously and released him when, on March 3, 1878, the Treaty of San | |||||||
| Stefano ended the war. Having been decorated by the Sultan, who also appointed him Turkish consul in Melbourne, Ryan | |||||||
| left for home. | |||||||
| "Although only 27 he had acquired more experience than many surgeons twice his age. Thus, his first Australian operation, | |||||||
| performed at the Melbourne Hospital, attracted a big crowd of surgeons and students. All were anxious to see the young | |||||||
| man who had distinguished himself on the remote battlefields of the Balkans and Asia Minor. | |||||||
| "In June 1880 Ryan played a part in the Ned Kelly drama when the Government asked him to attend the wounded bush- | |||||||
| ranger after his capture at Glenrowan. While caring for Kelly on the train journey back to Melbourne, Ryan learned that an | |||||||
| immense crowd was waiting at Spencer St. terminal to see the prisoner. So he had the train stopped at North Melbourne | |||||||
| and spirited his patient away to hospital. | |||||||
| "Although occasionally an odd Turk or two would show up and ask his assistance, Ryan's duties as Turkish consul were | |||||||
| mainly social. Strangers at government functions sometimes received a shock when they found that the representative of | |||||||
| the Sultan was not an exotic figure in a red fez. Once in 1910 his status caused some confusion at an official dinner given | |||||||
| to Field-Marshal Lord Kitchener. The factotum who announced the guests had been taken ill and a parliamentary | |||||||
| messenger was impressed as a last-minute substitute. Briefed as to the necessity of observing strict protocol when | |||||||
| announcing new arrivals he did well until Ryan and his wife appeared. By then he had bolstered his confidence with a few | |||||||
| drinks so that the assembly was startled to hear him proclaim in slurred tones: "His Honour the Sultan of Turkey and Mrs. | |||||||
| Turkey." | |||||||
| "Although Ryan was 61 and had practically retired when World War I broke out, his great reputation got him into the AIF | |||||||
| [Australian Imperial Force] and he landed on Gallipoli as a member of General Birdwood's staff. When tragic errors wrecked | |||||||
| arrangements for evacuating the wounded, Ryan was one the heroic team of surgeons who worked on the beach dressing | |||||||
| wounds and operating until they reeled with fatigue. Later he played a notable part in getting the casualties away in | |||||||
| transports hastily turned into hospital ships. | |||||||
| "After taking one batch of wounded to Egypt he returned to Gallipoli. But, living under constant shellfire in a burrow in | |||||||
| Anzac Gully, topped off by an attack of enteric fever, was too much for a man of his age. Despite his protests the old | |||||||
| campaigner was relegated to a base job as consulting surgeon to the AIF, first in Cairo and later in London. As final | |||||||
| reviewer of all medical verdicts, Ryan had a thankless task. Whether a man returned to Australia or was sent back to | |||||||
| France depended entirely on his judgment. | |||||||
| "Almost every soldier in. the AIF could relate some story about Charlie Ryan. One of the most popular was that of the | |||||||
| hard-bitten Digger who stood in stony silence while Ryan examined him. "Have you been examined before?" Ryan asked. | |||||||
| "Yessir." "Then what damned fool passed you?" "You did," said the Digger. It was rumoured that Ryan was prepared to give | |||||||
| a trip back to Australia to any man who could pitch him a tale he had not heard before. The only man who ever claimed it | |||||||
| was a white-haired veteran who frankly said that he had had enough of the war now that his pipsqueak of a grandson was | |||||||
| command of his platoon. | |||||||
| "At the end of the war Major-General Sir Charles Ryan was the most decorated surgeon in the world. Although no longer | |||||||
| the martinet of Horseferry Road he was still active enough to beat up a young thug who broke into his London flat. But his | |||||||
| days of professional practice were over. When he came back to Australia it was to devote himself to birds, botany, | |||||||
| photography and collecting apocryphal stories about himself. Although Sir Charles had suffered from a diseased heart for | |||||||
| some time before his death in 1926 it did not stop him from taking a last trip abroad. On the way back he died just as his | |||||||
| ship reached Port Adelaide. He was 73." | |||||||
| Sir Julian Emanuel Salomons [Kt Bach 1891] | |||||||
| The following biography of Salomons appeared in the March 1968 issue of the monthly Australian magazine "Parade." It is | |||||||
| recommended that his biography be read in conjunction with that of Sir William Windeyer. | |||||||
| "Members of the NSW Legislative Council tensed with excitement as a dapper little man rose to his feet at a nod from the | |||||||
| President on the evening of October 2, 1895. For a moment the man's jaw worked convulsively as he gazed around the | |||||||
| Chamber. Then he began to speak. He had become involved in a great legal controversy. Sir Julian Salomons told the | |||||||
| House, in the course of which the administration of justice in New South Wales had been dragged into grave disrepute. | |||||||
| Judges had been maligned, witnesses suborned, professional men forced to break the confidence of a client. He himself | |||||||
| had been accused of defaming a colleague in a fit of hallucination. It was even alleged that he was suffering from a form | |||||||
| of nervous disorder which rendered him incapable of acting responsibly. | |||||||
| "Talking at first in low tones, thickly and haltingly as though strangled by emotion, Salomons detailed the circumstances | |||||||
| which had caused him to speak out publicly. And before long he succeeded in dispelling all doubts about his sanity. Then | |||||||
| like a great advocate relentlessly forging his case link by link, the blood rushing to his face each time he hammered home a | |||||||
| vital point, he turned the attack and became his enemies'' accuser. Gripping its audience for a full three hours before the | |||||||
| the ageing orator sat down exhausted, the speech was hailed as the greatest ever made in the Council. Its most | |||||||
| most important immediate effect, however, was to resolve public anxiety over the notorious George Dean poisoning case. | |||||||
| "George Dean was a ferryboat captain who was found guilty of attempting to murder his wife. After being condemned to | |||||||
| death, Dean had been dramatically pardoned. For months on end while lawyers argued over the case and reviled one | |||||||
| another, New South Wales had been treated to a spectacle of justice being reduced to a farce. Now Salomons, in that | |||||||
| mighty speech, not only convinced the House of Dean's guilt, but gave back to the law the public respect necessary for | |||||||
| its administration. | |||||||
| "Probably the most outstanding colonial barrister of the 19th century, he was born near Birmingham, England, in 1836 | |||||||
| [actually 4 November 1835] and emigrated to Australia when he was 17. Salomons (sometimes Solomons) was a Jew and | |||||||
| was ever ready to boast proudly about his ancestry. Indeed it was the generosity of the Jewish community in Sydney that | |||||||
| enabled him to return to England and read for the Bar in the first place. In the years to come Salomons never forgot this | |||||||
| kindness. Soon after his admission to the Bar, a prominent Jewish dentist, Louis Bertrand, was charged with murder and | |||||||
| Salomons found a chance to repay his benefactors. Appalled that one of their ancient faith might suffer the terrible stigma | |||||||
| of being put to death, the community rallied around to provide the dentist with the most expensive lawyers in Sydney. But | |||||||
| all the eloquence of William Bede Dalley and William Windeyer could not prevent Bertrand from being found guilty and | |||||||
| sentenced to death. Then somebody remembered the keen, untried young barrister, Julian Salomons. Poring over his law | |||||||
| books deep into the night, the young lawyer eventually came up with a technical point which justified a re-hearing of | |||||||
| certain aspects of the case. In the end the original verdict was confirmed, but Salomons had succeeded in raising so many | |||||||
| doubts about minor details of the trial, that the NSW Executive Council decided to intervene and recommended that the | |||||||
| death sentence be commuted to life imprisonment. | |||||||
| "Fiercely loyal to his principles and always ready to sacrifice a fee to fight for a friend, Salomons won a unique reputation | |||||||
| in his profession for personal integrity. Backed up by a sharp wit and a talent for withering invective, it made him one of | |||||||
| most formidable public figures of his time. Once when Salomons was closeted in his chambers with a pair of solicitors, the | |||||||
| consultation was rudely interrupted by a hawker singing his wares in the corridor outside. Suddenly the man put his head | |||||||
| in the door and called: "Do you want some bananas, Guvs. From Fiji. Very cheap." Salomons turned on him in a fury. "You | |||||||
| impudent blockhead. Here I am negotiating a deal with the two biggest banana merchants in the country and you offer me | |||||||
| a beggarly dozen for four-pence." | |||||||
| "Sometimes even judges trembled at the prospect of being put in their place by the aggressive little attorney. Once during | |||||||
| a case that was going badly, the judge interrupted proceedings to remark that a bad smell was coming from under the | |||||||
| court room. "I am not surprised," Salomons sniffed. "Some of most distinguished early lawyers were buried on this site. | |||||||
| They must be turning in their graves to hear the bad law heard from the Bar - and from the Bench," he added, turning | |||||||
| towards the judge. Visiting legal celebrities were amazed at the latitude Salomons was often allowed. Pretending to be | |||||||
| sternly unamused by any attempt at wit from the Bench while he was speaking, the little lawyer would ignore the sally, | |||||||
| rap the table impatiently and ask the Court to attend his address. | |||||||
| "Late in his career, after the Federal Government had set up the High Court presided over by Chief Justice Sir Samuel | |||||||
| Griffith, Salomons was briefed to appear for NSW in a constitutional case which involved the breaching of State laws by | |||||||
| Commonwealth instrumentalities. When he heard Salomons had been retained, Griffith remarked: "Well, I suppose he's the | |||||||
| only man at the NSW Bar who could be relied on to cheek me." The judge's fears were well founded. At one stage, during | |||||||
| presentation of his case Salomons commented that no lawyer could support a particular proposition. Griffith interrupted | |||||||
| indignantly. "You have forgotten that judges of this court have already so held." "Ah, so," Salomons retorted icily. "But I | |||||||
| did not mention judges. I said no lawyer would say so." | |||||||
| "Before long the High Court was reversing judgment after judgment sent up to it on appeal from the NSW Supreme Court. | |||||||
| But Salomons refused to change his opinion of the Federal Chief Justice. One day he claimed to have invented a new rule | |||||||
| for the guidance of the Sydney Bench. "The Full Court ought to give judgment," he told Judge [Robert Darlow] Pring, "like | |||||||
| this: "For these reasons we are unanimously of the opinion that the case should go to the plaintiff. But to save trouble | |||||||
| and expense to the parties of an appeal to the High Court we order judgment to be entered for the defendant." | |||||||
| "Juries were another pet aversion. Once on a hot summer afternoon in Court the barrister C.E. Pilcher remarked on the | |||||||
| great improvement in ventilation brought about by the two newly installed electric fans. Sitting nearby, Salomons flashed | |||||||
| back. "No, no, Pilcher," he called. "Haven't you heard? They're the latest device for administering our trial-by-lottery jury | |||||||
| system. You put the plaintiff's case into one machine, the defendant's into the other. Whichever stops first wins." But | |||||||
| Salomons was careful to confine his pungent comments on judges and juries to a close professional circle. To the world at | |||||||
| large the little lawyer was better known as a genial punster. Once he was asked for a subscription for a statue of the Rev. | |||||||
| John Dunmore Lang to be erected in Wynyard Square. At tedious length the collector expatiated on the need for honouring | |||||||
| the dead while Salomons scribbled out a cheque. Glancing at the figure, the man thanked him effusively and was about to | |||||||
| walk away when he stopped. "Excuse me," he said. "You've forgotten to sign it." "Not at all," Salomons told him. "You were | |||||||
| talking so much about old time's sake, I though we would let 'Auld Lang Syne.' " Salomon's puns showed his quick mind, but | |||||||
| it was not this quality alone that made him the foremost figure at the Bar. It was his unrivalled knowledge of cases and | |||||||
| reverence for the majesty of the law. | |||||||
| "In 1886, when Sir Julian Salomons was made chief Justice of NSW, Sydney newspapers hailed the appointment as the | |||||||
| most fitting that could have been made. But before long it was apparent that at least two members of the judiciary were | |||||||
| violently opposed to his being elevated over their heads. Being the colony's Chief Justice was an honour which Salomons | |||||||
| had secretly coveted since his early days at the Bar. Now, however, realising that an open row over his appointment would | |||||||
| diminish the status of the whole legal profession, he resigned the office within 12 days. After that, Salomon's own personal | |||||||
| standing within the profession stood higher than ever. | |||||||
| "Nine years later, when a young barrister, Richard Denis Meagher [1866-1931], sought advice on a delicate professional | |||||||
| matter he turned instinctively to Salomons. Meagher had recently defended a man, George Dean, accused of having tried | |||||||
| to poison his wife by adding small doses of arsenic to her daily glass of lemon syrup. Meagher lost the case and Dean was | |||||||
| sentenced to death. The verdict, however, created a public outcry with meetings throughout the State demanding Dean's | |||||||
| retrial. The judge, William Windeyer [qv], had been prejudiced against Dean from the outset, it was alleged. He had bull- | |||||||
| dozed the jury into giving a verdict against its conscience. | |||||||
| "With the legal firm of Crick and Meagher prominently in the van, public-spirited citizens went about gathering new | |||||||
| new evidence to justify the case's reopening. In the end a commission of enquiry was appointed, doubts were thrown on | |||||||
| the original finding and Dean was pardoned. One unexpected sequel of this was that Meagher was accused of having put | |||||||
| up a singularly weak case in Dean's defence. But how could he have done any better knowing all the time Dean was | |||||||
| guilty? Meagher complained to Salomons. | |||||||
| "Salomons was staggered and asked Meagher how he knew Dean was guilty. Then Meagher revealed that one night he | |||||||
| had gone to Dean's cell and pretended the police knew everything. Dean had then made a full confession. Wrestling with | |||||||
| his conscience, wondering whether he could betray Meagher's confidence for the sake of justice, Salomons decided to | |||||||
| confide in one or two colleagues. Soon after, Salomons learned that Meagher was accusing him of having made the whole | |||||||
| story up, of being an aged neurotic subject to hallucinations. All at once he knew what action to take. In a magnificent | |||||||
| speech in the Legislative Council the old lawyer traversed the whole affair, marshalling the evidence in a way that left no | |||||||
| doubt about what had really happened. Next day a chemist on the North Shore broke down and admitted he had sold Dean | |||||||
| the poison. | |||||||
| "One man in particular heaved a vast sigh of relief on hearing that the unsavoury George Dean case was ended. He was | |||||||
| the judge, [Sir] William Windeyer, who had originally insisted on Dean's guilt. Ironically he was also the judge who had most | |||||||
| vigorously opposed Salomons's appointment as Chief Justice nine years before. | |||||||
| "Sir Julian Salomons, one of the great men of Australia's legal history, retired from practice in 1905 and died just four years | |||||||

| Sir George was killed in a train derailment in March 1931. The following report appeared in "The Times of India" on 24 March | |||||||
| of that year:- | |||||||
| "It is officially announced that six persons have been killed, nine seriously injured and a number of others less seriously hurt | |||||||
| when the Royal Scot, which left Euston for Glasgow jumped the rails when approaching Leighton Buzzard (Bedfordshire) | |||||||
| and overturned. | |||||||
| "There were, however, many remarkable escapes. Over a half of the famous Glasgow Orpheus choir, returning from London, | |||||||
| where they had broadcast from Queen's Hall, were on board the train. All of them escaped unhurt. A Glasgow business man | |||||||
| had just left the compartment next to the engine when the crash occurred. He was thrown to the floor, but escaped | |||||||
| uninjured. | |||||||
| "Four passengers had just seated themselves in the dining car for luncheon when the crash came. Crockery plates and | |||||||
| glass from the windows fell on them like a shower and the floor suddenly collapsed, but they found themselves still sitting | |||||||
| on their seats on the permanent way, unhurt. One of them expressed the opinion that had the accident happened five | |||||||
| minutes later, when the dining car would have been packed, the deathroll would have been far higher. | |||||||
| "There were lighter incidents in the disaster. An old lady, who was pinned down by the debris, kept on shouting: "I want | |||||||
| my umbrella." An elderly man, as soon as he jumped clear, ran towards the platform shouting: "When can I catch the next | |||||||
| train to Glasgow?" | |||||||
| "With the light of acetylene flares rescue work was continued till late at night on the twisted wreckage that was the Royal | |||||||
| Scot, the fastest train in the world, which achieved a record non-stop run from London to Glasgow, of 400 miles in 1928. | |||||||
| She recently attained a speed of 90 miles an hour and was yesterday approaching a speed of 70 miles when the engine | |||||||
| reared like a horse and slithered to the side with a shrieking hiss, while the carriages were piled up like a contorted snake, | |||||||
| imprisoning passengers for so many hours. Hefty rescuers wielding hatchets and crowbars and mechanics operating oxy- | |||||||
| acetylene apparatus sliced girders to release the sufferers. Surgeons were using saws and knives. In one case workers | |||||||
| spent three hours in trying to reach a man who sipped brandy and expressed gratitude for their efforts, but finally died. | |||||||
| His body is still unextricated and unidentified. Mrs Margaret Lang and her daughter Dorothy were kept alive with oxygen | |||||||
| for a similar period. Dorothy Lang's foot had to be amputated before she could be released. It was her eighteenth birthday. | |||||||
| [Unfortunately she later died]. The fatalities include Sir George Saltmarsh, who has been identified by the papers found in | |||||||
| his pocket. | |||||||
| "[Sir George Saltmarsh was President of the Indian Wheat Committee in 1915. During the European War he was Vice | |||||||
| Chairman of the Allies' Wheat Purchasing Committee (1915-16) and a member of the Royal Commission on Wheat Supplies | |||||||
| (1916) and later Vice Chairman. He was Commander of the Order of the Crown of Italy, an Officer of the Legion of Honour | |||||||
| and Commander of the Order of Leopold II. He was 61 years old."] | |||||||
| At the subsequent inquiry into the cause of the crash, it was found that the driver's view had been obstructed by smoke | |||||||
| from the train's funnel which led to him being unable to see one of the signals. | |||||||
| Sir John Savage [Kt Bach 1872] | |||||||
| The following report on the inquest held after Sir John's suicide appeared in "Freeman's Journal and Daily Commercial | |||||||
| Advertiser [Dublin] on 18 June 1883:- | |||||||
| 'An inquest was held on Friday at half-past three o'clock, before Dr. Mussen, coroner, and a jury. | |||||||
| 'Lady Savage, being examined, deposed - The deceased, Sir John Savage, was my husband. He was sixty-nine years of | |||||||
| age last June. I left him in his own bedroom a little after nine o'clock last night. He was then in a desponding state of mind, | |||||||
| and has been so for a long time, but particularly so last night, but he made use of no expression to lead me to believe | |||||||
| that he contemplated taking his life. He did say that "it will be soon over with me. I cannot stand this much longer; the | |||||||
| worry is killing me." I did not hear him leaving his bedroom this morning. He usually rises about five o'clock to take a bath. | |||||||
| A little after four o'clock I woke up and lay listening to hear if I could hear him stirring, for he usually used to get up and | |||||||
| take a little medicine about that time. I lay and lay for a long time a never a sound, and I said to myself he is in a nice | |||||||
| sleep now. Not hearing anything for a long time I got up and went into his room, and he was not there. I then went to | |||||||
| the bathroom, and it was locked and barred. I shouted and shouted, and then the servants came, and one of them got | |||||||
| something and opened the door. She then peeped in first, and said, "Oh, such a pool - such a pool!" I then peeped in, and | |||||||
| I just gave one look, and we both ran away, and that was the last I saw: that is all I can tell. The servant to whom I | |||||||
| have referred was Eliza Forman. His (Sir John Savage's) pulse was at 120 on Monday night. I sent off for Dr. Wilson and | |||||||
| the Rev. Dr. Rodgers. | |||||||
| 'By Constable Shannon - The other persons residing in the house with me are two servant girls and a young lady, Miss | |||||||
| Kinnear. When I found that my husband was not in his bedroom I went to the bathroom, and when I found that it was | |||||||
| locked the first thing that struck me was his razor, whether it was away. I at once went back to the bedroom, and when I | |||||||
| found the razor was away I knew what was wrong. | |||||||
| 'Eliza Forman was then examined, and deposed - I was called up by Lady Savage at about half-past five o'clock this | |||||||
| morning. She called out to me to open the bathroom door, as Sir John was inside, she said, and the door locked on the | |||||||
| inside. I forced the door open with a chisel. I looked in first, and saw Sir John lying with a pool of blood round his feet. He | |||||||
| was beside the bath. His feet were towards me. I closed the door, and called out to the other girl to get the gardener and | |||||||
| coachman. | |||||||
| 'By a Juror - He had only his nightshirt on. He was not in his dressing-gown. He made no movement, and appeared to be | |||||||
| quite dead. I thought that Sir John had been in a depressed state for some time past. | |||||||
| 'Lady Savage, re-examined, deposed - He went to bed about a quarter-past nine o'clock. His usual time was much earlier, | |||||||
| but he was not home last evening until six o'clock. He was in Sir John Preston's office, and he did not get home till later | |||||||
| than usual. | |||||||
| 'James Sanderson, sworn and examined, said - I am coachman in Sir John's service. I was called about a quarter to six | |||||||
| o'clock by Eliza Nicholson, the cook, to go up to the bathroom. I went in and saw Sir John, who was lying on the floor | |||||||
| quite dead. I did not put my hands upon him. I noticed the pool of blood in which he was lying, and also the cut on the leg. | |||||||
| 'Lady Savage here said that Sir John was troubled with varicose veins, and she supposed he had cut these, thinking that | |||||||
| by so doing he would bleed to death. | |||||||
| 'Dr. Wilson deposed that he had made an examination of the body. There were three wounds upon it, two being upon the | |||||||
| right leg and one on the throat. The latter had been the immediate cause of death. | |||||||
| 'The jury returned a verdict that the deceased committed suicide whilst labouring under temporary insanity.' | |||||||
| Sir Robert Hermann Schomburgk [Kt Bach 1844] | |||||||
| Schomburgk's death was reported in the Gawler (South Australia) "Bunyip" of 3 June 1865:- | |||||||
| 'Sir Robert Hermann Schomburgk, Her Majesty's recent Consul at Bangkok, a gentleman distinguished for his knowledge | |||||||
| of geography and natural history and for his many travels and scientific investigations in South America, was the son of | |||||||
| the Rev. J.F. Lewis Schomburgk, Protestant Minister at Thuringia, by his wife, Mddle Krippendorff, daughter of Herr J. | |||||||
| Krippendorff, councillor of the Princes of Reuss Gera. He was born in Prussia in 1804. He was, in 1831, engaged in the | |||||||
| survey of Anegada, one of the Virgin Islands, in the West Indies, and its dangerous surrounding coral reefs. He, in 1835, | |||||||
| under the protection of the Royal Geographical Society and under the patronage of the British Government, proceeded | |||||||
| to Guiana, and explored its previously unknown interior. This he did so well that the Geographical Society gave him their | |||||||
| gold medal on his return to England in 1839. In the course of this expedition he discovered the "Victoria Regia," a gigantic | |||||||
| flower of the lily tribe. He was, on Dec. 10, 1840, appointed commissioner for surveying and marking out the boundaries | |||||||
| of British Guiana........This mission he successfully carried out, and he was knighted Dec 26, 1844.' | |||||||
| His brother, Moritz Richard Schomburgk [1811-1891], was a well-known figure in South Australia, having emigrated there | |||||||
| following the unrest in Europe in 1848. He was Director of the Adelaide Botanic Garden from 1865 until his death. | |||||||
| Schomburgk later became British Consul to the Dominican Republic and retired as Consul in Bangkok. However, it is his work | |||||||
| in marking out the boundaries of British Guiana for which he is best remembered. Unfortunately, it could be argued that | |||||||
| he did his job too well, since the question of Guiana's borders on both sides of the country - with Suriname (formerly Dutch | |||||||
| Guiana) to the east and with Venezuela to the west - were subsequently the subject of longstanding disputes. The | |||||||
| question of the border between British Guiana and Venezuela reached fever pitch in the 1890s and caused great friction | |||||||
| between the United Kingdom and the United States. | |||||||
| The results of Schomburgk's survey became known as the "Schomburgk Line," which extended well beyond the areas | |||||||
| already occupied by the British and gave them the control of the mouth of the Orinoco River. Naturally this was disputed | |||||||
| by Venezuela, who claimed all of British Guiana west of the Essequibo River, more than half of the area occupied by the | |||||||
| British. The dispute simmered until 1895 when the United States became involved, invoking the Monroe Doctrine. Such | |||||||
| intervention forced the United Kingdom to submit to arbitration of the disputed territory. Five arbitrators were appointed - | |||||||
| Professor Friedrich de Martens [1845-1909] of the Russian Imperial Foreign Office as President; Melville Fuller [1833-1910], | |||||||
| Chief Justice of the United States, and David Josiah Brewer [1837-1910], an Associate Justice of the US Supreme Court | |||||||
| both representing Venezuela, and Lord Russell of Killowen (Lord Chief Justice of the UK) and Sir Richard Henn Collins, later | |||||||
| Baron Collins, representing the United Kingdom. | |||||||
| The result of the arbitration was reported in the Adelaide "Evening Journal" of 5 October 1899:- | |||||||
| 'The Tribunal appointed under the Treaty of Washington, signed on February 2, 1897, to arbitrate in the matter of the | |||||||
| disputed boundary between Venezuela and British Guiana, announced its decision in Paris yesterday. Professor de | |||||||
| Martens, of the Imperial Foreign Office of St. Petersburg, as President of the Court, delivered the award, which he said | |||||||
| represented the unanimous endorsement of his colleagues.......The Court discussed the British claim to the possession | |||||||
| of Barima Point; a cape at the mouth of the River Orinoco. It was pointed out that there had been no Dutch possession | |||||||
| at Barima for more than a century before the cession of the colony to England, and that the Spaniards, from whom the | |||||||
| Venezuelans obtained their claim, had shown themselves always jealous and suspicious of any Dutch attempt even to | |||||||
| approach Barima, the western border of the Dutch colonies having been further to the eastward. The arbitrators therefore | |||||||
| decided that Barima Point and the mouth of the Orinoco - the possession of which Great Britain had not sought -belonged | |||||||
| rightfully to Venezuela. In regard to other territories the Court rejected the extreme Venezuelan claim to the large slice of | |||||||
| country extending from the Amakuru River to the Essequibo River, embracing an area of several hundred thousand square | |||||||
| miles. The Court paid great respect to the boundary fixed by Sir Robert Schomburgk, the Prussian scientist, who was sent | |||||||
| out to Demerara in 1835 by the Royal Geographical Society to explore the interior of British Guiana, and, with the exception | |||||||
| of surrendering Barima Point to Venezuela, adhered mainly to the line which he had drawn as separating the two countries. | |||||||
| The total effect of the award is that Venezuela obtains less than Great Britain ever offered to acknowledge as belonging to | |||||||
| her, while British Guiana is declared to include all the goldfields and forests which Venezuela three years ago, encouraged | |||||||
| by American speculators, stoutly endeavoured to bring within her boundaries. Great Britain has also obtained equal | |||||||
| navigation rights with Venezuela on the Orinoco River.' | |||||||
| Unfortunately, this was not the end of the matter. Venezuela raised the border question at the United Nations in 1962. | |||||||
| Eventually the matter was discussed between the governments of the United Kingdom, Venezuela and the then British | |||||||
| Guiana, culminating in the signing, in February 1966, of an "Agreement to Resolve the Controversy over the Frontier | |||||||
| between Venezuela and British Guiana," more commonly known as the Geneva Agreement. This agreement is, however, | |||||||
| transitory in nature, and has yet to lead to a definitive resolution of the border dispute. | |||||||
| Sir John Scott [KCB 1865] | |||||||
| Sir John's obituary, published in the London "Morning Post" of 20 January 1873, reads:- | |||||||
| 'General Sir John Scott, colonel of the 7th (the Queen's Own) Regiment of Hussars, whilst riding in Rotten-row on Saturday | |||||||
| afternoon between one and two o'clock, fell from his horse, which was going at a walking pace, and on being raised was | |||||||
| found to be in a dying state. The melancholy occurrence took place immediately opposite the officers' quarters of | |||||||
| Knightsbridge Barracks, and being seen by some of the officers from their windows they immediately ordered a body of | |||||||
| their men to proceed to the assistance of the fallen equestrian, not knowing at the time his rank. The general was at once | |||||||
| borne into the officers' quarters, and several medical men immediately attended and pronounced that life was extinct. It | |||||||
| was shortly afterwards ascertained his name and status in the army. | |||||||
| 'The late Sir John Scott was the only son of Mr. J.F. Scott, by Mary, daughter of Mr. John Serjeant, of Whitehaven, | |||||||
| Cumberland. He was born in 1797 and married in 1829, Alicia, eldest daughter of the Rev. H. Forster Mills, Chancellor of | |||||||
| York, and granddaughter of Archbishop Markham. After his rudimentary education at Chiswick he went to Westminster; in | |||||||
| May, 1815, he entered the army, and shortly afterwards joined the forces under the Duke of Wellington in Paris. He was | |||||||
| subsequently present with the French army, under Marshal [Étienne Maurice] Gérard at the siege of Antwerp in December, | |||||||
| 1832, and, by permission of the marshal, he accompanied the troops upon every occasion during the siege. In October | |||||||
| 1838, he was appointed to the command of the cavalry of the division of the army of the Indus; as brigadier served in | |||||||
| that rank during the campaigns of 1838 and 1839 in Afghanistan, and was present at the attack and capture of Ghuznee. | |||||||
| During the latter part of 1839 he commanded a detached column, consisting of the whole of the artillery (excepting four | |||||||
| guns), the cavalry, and one battalion of infantry - this column was destined to secure the subjugation of Upper Scinde, | |||||||
| and to co-operate with the main column under Sir Thomas Willshere, directed against Khelat; was also at the action of | |||||||
| Maharajpore on the 29th of December, 1843, where he commanded a brigade of cavalry, as also at the battle of Sobraon. | |||||||
| 'Sir John was nominated a Companion of the Order of the Bath for his services in Afghanistan, and an aide-de-camp to the | |||||||
| Queen after the battle of Sobraon, and in 1865 he was made a Knight Commander of the Bath. He had received numerous | |||||||
| medals for his services previously to being on the staff in India. He was appointed colonel of the 3rd Dragoon Guards in | |||||||
| 1859, till in June, 1866, he was transferred to the colonelcy of the 7th Hussars. As already stated, he entered the army | |||||||
| in 1815, and by purchase obtained his lieutenancy in October, 1815; captain in June, 1821; and major in November 1826 - | |||||||
| he was indebted for his promotions to his services in the field - lieutenant-colonel August, 1830 and colonel in June, 1846. | |||||||
| He was promoted to major-general, June 20, 1854; lieutenant-general, October 13, 1860; and general, May 1, 1868.' | |||||||
| Sir Ernest Scott [nominated Kt Bach 1939, but not invested] | |||||||
| Scott was an Australian historian whose name appeared as an intended Knight Bachelor on the 1939 King's Birthday Honour | |||||||
| List, but who died before he could receive the accolade. Subsequently, the London Gazette (issue 34949, page 5575) | |||||||
| contained a notice dated 20 September 1940 which states that "The King has been pleased, by Warrant under the Royal | |||||||
| Sign Manual, bearing date the 27th ultimo, to ordain and declare Emily Illenden Fortuna Scott, widow of Ernest Scott, | |||||||
| Gentleman, of Vermont, Victoria, in the Commonwealth of Australia, shall have, hold and enjoy the style, title, rank and | |||||||
| precedence to which she would have been entitled had her husband survived and received the degree, style and title of | |||||||
| a Knight Bachelor." | |||||||
| Sir George Scovell [GCB 1860] | |||||||
| After bemoaning the apparent inability of writers to add anything fresh to the history of the Napoleonic Wars, Geoffrey | |||||||
| Moorhouse, writing in the "Guardian" of 15 September 2001, noted that a recently published book did indeed break fresh | |||||||
| ground. The book concerned is "The Man Who Broke Napoleon's Codes: The Story of George Scovell" by Mark Urban | |||||||
| [Faber 2001]. The relevant portion of Moorhouse's review reads:- | |||||||
| 'The Duke [of Wellington] was far superior to Napoleon in acquiring information about his enemy. Bonaparte relied upon the | |||||||
| London newspapers, but Wellington obtained his intelligence in the field. Mark Urban's book really does work a fresh seam | |||||||
| here in telling the story of "The Man Who Broke Napoleon's Codes", and George Scovell appears to be a brand-new | |||||||
| character in the vast literature of the Napoleonic Wars. | |||||||
| 'He was a 'prentice engraver who wanted to be a cavalry commander, but that was beyond his means. He did, however, | |||||||
| obtain a commission in the army, and, because he was a natural linguist, was shunted from quartermastering to sifting the | |||||||
| reports that came in from Spanish guerrillas during the Peninsular War. Then he was handed a book on the art of decipher- | |||||||
| ing, which may have been composed by a monk, and told to get on with it. The French had excelled at ciphers since Louis | |||||||
| XIV's time, but these had been getting more and more complicated, the tables on which they were based having risen | |||||||
| steadily from 600 numerals to more than twice that many, with occasional hieroglyphs added for further bewilderment. | |||||||
| 'The trouble was that friends were beginning to find them as difficult to handle as any foe and occasionally took short | |||||||
| cuts, by mixing code with plain language. "Ah, my friend", read one, "he could not disguise that he 20. 14. 59. 29 the 36. | |||||||
| 49. 112. 63....." This gave Scovell his big break. He worked out that in the Great Paris Cipher, then in favour for the most | |||||||
| secret of messages and based on 1,400 characters, all those from 1,201 to the end of the sequence represented proper | |||||||
| nouns. Then some stupid French clerk copied an encoded message to Madrid in plain language and it was intercepted, and | |||||||
| Scovell's work was all downhill after that. Before long, there was a little office in Abchurch Street, London, clearly the | |||||||
| ancestor of Bletchley Park, where the government maintained a few fellows skilled in the black arts of secret writing. | |||||||
| 'But it was Scovell's pathfinding work that made it possible for Wellington to triumph at Salamanca; before the battle | |||||||
| started he knew exactly what the French dispositions were, and what tactics they proposed to adopt. He was also aware | |||||||
| that Napoleon and his brother Joseph, king of Spain, had fallen out. Scovell rose from major to half-colonel for what he | |||||||
| achieved there. He finished up as Major-General Sir George Scovell, Lieutenant-Governor [and later Governor] of | |||||||
| Sandhurst.' | |||||||
