To-CAPT.G.D.PORTEOUS.VOL.COY.R.SCOT.FUS
George Dykes Porteous was born on 30th June 1875 in Maybole, Ayrshire, which is roughly halfway between Ayr and Girvan, the son of James S. Porteous who was the schoolmaster at Maybole Public School from 1869 onwards and still teaching there when it was renamed Maybole Ladyland School in 1891.
He was educated at Maybole Public School, which was created in 1845 when the three schools in Maybole (including the original parish school) united under the name of Maybole Public School.
The name was then changed in 1891 to Maybole Ladyland School. The school then assumed the title of Maybole Carrick Academy in 1905, and still later to become Carrick Academy.
In the 1891 census he is living with his father (his mother had passed away before then) and his sibling’s at Oakbank House in Maybole and his occupation was pupil teacher in public school – probably under his father.
He won a educational scholarship worth 20 pounds awarded by the Royal Agricultural Society of England in November 1892 (as did his brother Richard, also educated at Maybole Public school)
Before WW1 the 2nd Volunteer battalion (after 1908 named the 5th battalion, Territorial Force) consisted of a Headquarters and A Company based at Ayr Infantry Barracks, B Company at Catrine, C Company at Maybole, D Company at Stranraer, E Company at Cumnock, F Company at Troon, G Company at Muirkirk and H Company at Dalmellington.
Ayr Infantry Barracks was the regimental depot of the Royal Scots Fusiliers and the also the 2nd Volunteer Battalion, the Royal Scots Fusiliers.
The Girvan Memorial commemorates Girvan men from the 2nd VB who volunteered to serve in South Africa in the Boer War as a Volunteer Service Company with the 2nd Regular Battalion.
George Dykes Porteous was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the 2nd Volunteer Battalion, the Royal Scots Fusiliers, on 6th May 1893 (LG 5/5/1893), and promoted Lieutenant on 20th January 1894 (LG 19/1/1894).
He was granted the temporary rank of Lieutenant in the Army whilst serving with the Volunteer Company that was attached to the regular 2nd battalion in South Africa on 24th February, 1900 (LG 23/2/1900)
From “Records of the Scottish Volunteer Force 1859-1908”, page 269, covering the history of the 2nd Volunteer Battalion, the Royal Scots Fusiliers:
“A large number of men volunteered for the war in South Africa, and 2 officers and 62 men actually served, of whom Lieutenant G. D. Porteous and 54 other ranks belonged to the 1st Service Company and 4 men to the 2nd Service Section of the Royal Scots Fusiliers. Lieutenant R. M. M. Buntine was also attached to the line battalion. Of the 1st Service Company, Lance-Corporal J. M\'Chesney and Privates R. Gilmore and J. M\'Lean died of disease.”
It appears he left South Africa and rejoined the 2nd Volunteer Battalion, the Royal Scots Fusiliers on 6th July 1901. (LG 5/7/1901).
However, he once again appears to have returned to South Africa as the London Gazette dated 11th February 1902 contains an entry stating that he was borne as Supernumerary for service in South Africa as of 24th December 1901, now in the rank of Captain.
He was granted the temporary rank of Captain in the Army whilst serving in South Africa on 24th December 1901 (LG 8/4/1902).
He rejoined the 2nd Volunteer Battalion, the Royal Scots Fusiliers, from being a Supernumerary Captain (and honorary Captain in the Army) on the 5th March 1904. (LG 4/3/1904) but shortly afterwards he resigned his Commission on 23rd July 1904 (LG 22/7/1904).
He apparently emigrated to the USA in 1908 and by 1918 was living in Shoshoni, Fremont County, Wyoming, where work centred on the sheep ranching business.
He was registered for the US draft in September 1918, working as a stockman for Woodruff & (??) in Shoshoni.
In the enumeration of Shoshone as part of the US 1920 Census he is listed as single, and his occupation was sheep herder.
Captain George D. Porteous died in 1948 and is buried in Lake View Cemetery at Shoshoni, Fremont County, Wyoming, United States of America.

To- GEORGE.WALTER.WILSON.
The Hulton colliery medal is unnamed as issued & mounted from the original ribbon & pin. Its housed in its original fitted case of issue by Jenkins of Birmingham. (one of 165 of this medal issued)
The recipient was born in 1888 & was a coal miner from Atherton. He died in 1960 & was cremated locally. No doubt he lost many friends in the disaster.
The Pretoria Pit Disaster is the worst coal mining accident to have occurred in Lancashire, and the third-worst mining disaster in British history. The Pretoria Pit was a complex of coal mines owned by the Hulton Colliery Company and situated on the border of Westhoughton and Atherton. Pretoria Pit was the largest coal mine in the Westhoughton area, working five coal seams in the region. Each seam had its own mine: Trencherbone, Plodder, Yard, Three-Quarter, and Arley mine.
The Hulton Colliery Co. employed approximately 2,500 people locally. On the morning of December 21, 1910, a total of 898 men and boys clocked in for the day shift at the Hulton Colliery, and most had descended the shafts below ground before 8 AM. One of those arriving for work early that morning was a 16-year-old boy, Joseph Shearer Staveley of Westhoughton, on his very first day of employment in the Yard mine workshops. A total of 347 men, including Joseph, had descended down the No. 3 pit shaft to work in the Yard mine that morning, when suddenly, at 7:50 AM there was a tremendous underground explosion, about 300 yards deep below the earth’s surface, at the level of the Yard mine.
Mr. Alfred Tonge was the General Manager of Hulton Colliery at the time, and he lived almost two miles away from the pit head. He was home at the time of the blast and heard the explosion. He immediately left his home and arrived at the mine within about twenty minutes, leading a team of rescuers into the mine. He wrote an account of what he found upon his arrival, which was turned in to the inquiry as evidence during the investigation.
Only 4 men working the Yard mine that morning were fortunate enough to survive the initial blast. However, it is likely that if Mr. Tonge had not acted as swiftly as he did, that these young men may not have been as fortunate. The initial survivors of the blast were Fountain Byers, John Sharples, Joseph Staveley, and William Davenport. We know from the diary entries of Fountain’s brother, Ben Byers, that Fountain would survive less than 24 hours. He left behind a wife, and child, just three days before Christmas, and was laid to rest at Wingates Parish Church on Christmas Day.
The Mines rescue medal is named on the reverse to GEORGE.WALTER.WILSON & is on its original ribbon with its original silver top bar.

4615 Private Robert SCOTT, 1st Royal Highlanders and Bechuanaland Border Police
Robert Scott was born about 1869 in the parish of Shotts, Lanarkshire. He was the son of Walter Scott – whose address, in 1891, was noted as \'Buchanan\'s Buildings, Burnbank\' - a small settlement situated between Hamilton and Blantyre, in Lanarkshire
On 12 October 1891, at Hamilton, Robert Scott attested for the Royal Highlanders. Having given his \"Trade or Calling\' as \'Farm servant\', he agreed to serve \'7 years with the Colors, and 5 years in the Reserve\'. At that time, his height was measured at 5 feet 4 inches and he was noted to have a fresh complexion, with grey eyes and light brown hair. His \'Distinctive Marks\' were also described: \'Blue mark under right eye & on right forehead, Scar front of chest & left forearm\'. His \'Religious Denomination\' was recorded as \'Presbyterian\'.
Having been allocated No. 4615, Private Scott reached the Black Watch Depot at Perth on the following day, 13 October. After basic training, he was posted to the 2nd Battalion on 22 December 1891. He served in Ireland with this battalion -- and has been traced in its muster rolls as being present in Limerick on 1 February 1892, and on 1 August 1892.
Posted abroad to the 1st Battalion Black Watch, Robert Scott served in Gibraltar from 5 October 1892. He remained there up to 28 January 1893, when he embarked on HMS Himalaya, bound for Egypt. Having arrived at Abbassiyeh on 5 February 1893, the 1st Black Watch remained in Egypt until 3 March when the battalion was split in two. On that day, one half of the men left for Mauritius while, on 4 March 1893, the other half embarked once more on HMS Himalaya, bound for South Africa. Private Scott must have been with this half of the battalion, which reached Cape Town on 6 April 1893. Thereafter, he is shown on the muster rolls for \'B\' Company as serving in Cape Town on both 1 June, and 1 December, 1893.
However, at the time of the latter date, he was actually attached to the Bechuanaland Border Police - his soldier\'s records noting that he \'served in the Matabele campaign from 18.10.93 to 21.3.94\'. Indeed, Private Scott was one of only 18 men from the 1st Black Watch - one officer and 17 other ranks - who took part in this campaign as mounted infantry, and who went on to receive the British South Africa Company\'s Medal.
After exactly two years\' service, he had been granted Good Conduct Pay – though he forfeited this on 6 July 1895. Shortly after, on 10 July 1895, Private Scott was noted to be \'in the hands of the Civil Power\'. He was \'convicted of assault\' the following day - then returned to duty on 12 July 1895. In his soldier\'s records, it was made clear that these two days spent in civil hands did not count towards his pensionable service.
Nevertheless, his Good Conduct Pay was restored on 5 February 1896 – following which, on 18 February 1896, he is noted to have commenced service in India. On 19 May 1899, his Good Conduct Pay was doubled, to 2d per day. Private Scott remained in India with the 1st Black Watch throughout the first years of the South African War. On 12 November 1901, at Kamptee, near Nagpur in central India, he agreed to extend his service to complete 12 years with the Colours. No doubt, the 397.8 Rupees he then received as a bounty played some part in persuading him to reach this decision- as it was fully intended to do.
At that time, the Empire had a pressing need to retain its trained soldiery – particularly with regard to the continuing conflict in South Africa. On 6 December 1901, the 1st Black Watch, Robert Scott included, arrived there — following which, he campaigned against the Boers in the Orange Free State and the Transvaal.
The war ended on 31 May 1902, though Private Scott remained in South Africa until October of that year, when he returned to the UK - landing there on 28 October 1902. He served at \'Home\' for the remainder of his Army career and passed a mounted infantry course at Bulford, on 17 July 1903. However, even near the very end of his service, he forfeited a penny a day Good Conduct Pay on 20 July and, again, on 7 October 1903.
Having served for 12 years, Robert Scott was discharged from the Army on 12 October 1903 - still in the rank of Private - on the \'termination of his first period of engagement\'.

He has no known grave but is commemorated on the Chatham naval memorial & is recorded by the CWGC as the late 24 year old son of Alfred Joseph & Edith Jennie Cavalier of London.
HMS Arethusa had a very interesting war & prior to the recipients death
Arethusa was assigned to the 3rd Cruiser Squadron in the Mediterranean on completion and was still there at the onset of World War II in September 1939. However, early in 1940 she and her sister Penelope were recalled to the Home Fleet, where they formed the 2nd Cruiser Squadron with the remainder of the class. She participated in the Norwegian Campaign in April 1940, but on 8 May she joined the Nore Command, where she supported the defending forces in Calais and later aided the evacuations from French Atlantic ports.
On 28 June 1940 she was a component of the newly formed Force \"H\" at Gibraltar, with which she participated in the action against Vichy French forces at Mers el Kebir in July 1940. With Force \"H\" she took part in convoy protection patrols in the Atlantic and operated in the Mediterranean.
During the sortie of the German battleship Bismarck in May 1941 she was employed in Iceland and Faroes waters, but by July she had returned to the Mediterranean, where she escorted Malta convoys and herself ran supply trips to the island. Towards the end of 1941 she returned to home waters and took part in the Lofoten raid in December, where she was damaged by near misses. After refit and repair at Chatham until April 1942, she returned to the Mediterranean in June 1942, where she joined the 15th Cruiser Squadron, operating mostly in support of the resupply of Malta.

D.C.M. London Gazette 15 April 1915:
For conspicuous gallantry in taking up an advanced position in a traverse whence he held up the enemy advance with rifle fire until our bombs could be brought up.’
Donald Gunn Cuthbert was born in Kildonnan, Sutherland, Scotland. He served during the Great War with the 2nd Battalion, Royal Highlanders in the French theatre of war from 4 August 1914. The Battalion were particularly engaged during the Battle of Neuve Chappelle, 10-13 March 1915.
Cuthbert left France with the Battalion in November 1915, and served with them in the Mesopotamian theatre of war from January 1916. The 2nd Battalion served with the 41st Dogras and 6th Jats as part of the 35th Brigade for the first attack on the Turks at Hanna, 21 January 1916. Cuthbert was killed in action during the attack, and the Regimental History gives the following:
‘At seven minutes past eight on the morning of the 21st, as the bombardment lifted, The Black Watch advanced at a slow double, and were at once greeted by a storm of bullets. Despite the heavy mud, despite the losses, perfect order was kept, and after a momentary halt at the irrigation channel every man rose up simultaneously and swept forward into the Turkish trench. There for a few moments the Turks met them hand to hand. Lieutenant Thorburn, who was among the first in, was bayoneted and clubbed to the ground, but recovered consciousness to hear the welcome sound of Piper Crichton playing along the captured trench.
On the right, the Dogras suffered heavily, lost all their British officers, and were unable to make good the right of the objective. But a few small parties of them and of the 6th Jats gallantly pressed forward and joined the Regiment after the trench was captured.... the flanks were exposed, and the Battalion was cut off from all support.
Immediately after the assault the Turks had fled across the open to their second line, losing heavily as they ran, for in spite of the exertions of the assault our men fired steadily and with good effect. Before long, however, the enemy was strongly reinforced, and soon discovered how few in numbers were the British who had penetrated his position. Two main counter-attacks now developed... These attacks were checked for some time with the aid of one or two machine guns captured by the two flank companies.... But force of numbers was bound to tell in time. Many of our men fell, and step by step the remainder were forced to give ground until they were gradually squeezed into the corner of the trenches nearest to the river bank... bravery and discipline can make good lack of numbers in an assault, but it is impossible for a hundred men to hold a position indefinitely when attacked on three sides and with no supports forthcoming....
For two hours a desperate resistance was put up against hopeless odds. Sergeant Finlay died fighting with the same cool courage that had won him his V.C. on the 9th May in France. At last, about 10.15am, when almost surrounded, the remnants of the shattered platoons, half of whom were wounded, fell back on the British lines, bringing with them one officer and about a dozen Turks as prisoner....
The losses reported on the 21st were 6 officers (2 killed, 1 wounded and missing) and 175 other ranks (21 killed, 79 wounded and missing). Of those reported missing all were subsequently ascertained to have been killed, and at least one officer and many man who were wounded refused to report or go to hospital while the need of the Battalion was so great. The casualties in this action were approximately 60 per cent of the fighting strength of the Battalion. Exclusive of the transport, 29 officers and nearly 900 men had landed at Basrah three weeks earlier. There now remained to report themselves fit for duty two combatant officers and 130 men, and of these not all were unwounded.’
Private Cuthbert is commemorated on the Basra Memorial, Iraq.
