[COLIN 'the Red Fox' CAMPBELL of GLENURE & BARCALDINE] AUTOGRAPH LETTER Signed "Jo Campbelle" to Colin Campbell (later the victim in the Appin murder); 'Brother to Barcaldine at Dalfuir', 1p., 9 x 7ßin, Edinburgh, 16 April 1740, with address on reverse of conjugate leaf, folded with remains of black seal.

[ Ref: RGW13371] £50
*The writer was possibly John Campbell of the Royal Bank, Edinburgh, [see letters from John Campbell to Colin Campbell 1740-1745 (GD170/938 etc) in the Scottish National Archives]. Barcaldine Castle, just north of Benderloch in Argyll and Bute, was completed in 1609 for Sir Duncan Campbell. A stronghold of the clan until the family moved to Barcaldine House around 1735. Built to the order of 'Red Patrick' [1677-1738], the new house at Barcaldine was built on the delta of the river Dergan on Dalfure (Dalfuir - Dail Fuar meaning 'cold plain'). The house was originally called 'Innerergan', ('Inver-Dergan' - delta of the river Dergan). Patrick's son 'Black Haired John Campbell' (1700-1777) was responsible for enlarging the house and planting the grounds. Shortly before his death, mounting debts forced the sale of the house. John was the son of Patrick by his first wife, Agnes Campbell. Barcaldine House remained in the family, bought by John's half brother, Duncan of Glenure (c1716-1784), son of Patrick and his second wife, Lucy Cameron (b. before 1692, daughter of Sir Ewan Cameron of Lochiel). Duncan was the brother of Colin Campbell of Glenure the 'Red Fox' (1708-1752), factor for Ardshiel and Mamore, who was murdered at Appin, Ballachulish in 1752, resulting in the wrongful execution of James Stewart of Ardshiel and later providing Robert Louis Stevenson with the adventurous character of Allan Breck Stewart in his novel "Kidnapped".

CRAWFORD, R.H.: Pipers of the Highland Regiments 1854-1902. Compiled from Regimental Sources, Records of Highland Gatherings, OfficialDocuments and Various Publications Attributed to the Reign of Her Majesty Queen Victoria. 366pp. orig. cloth, 1st edit, 2009. Fine in d.w. [ Ref: RGW13612] £60
*This book covers the period from 1854, when Pipers were first authorised byHorse Guards, until 1902, the year of the conclusion of the Boer War. Itprovides biographical and service details, together with the medalentitlements, of some 1000 Regimental Pipers who served in the HighlandRegiments during the reign of Queen Victoria.There was much competition between Pipers either at Regimental Games or, for the most proficient, at major Highland gatherings throughout the country. It was not unusual to find among the top prize winners, Militia or Volunteer Pipe-Majors nearing the end of their military commitments. To be offered the appointment of Pipe-Major on the Permanent Staff of a Militia or Volunteer Battalion was considered a major accomplishment. Accepting such an appointment would guarantee home stations and the opportunity to compete at will. Many of these prominent Army Pipe-Majors and their achievements are mentioned throughout the book.This work should be considered less a narrative and more an essential sourceof reference. Working with a rich variety of sources over a considerableperiod, the author has brought together in this one volume a significantbody of information. It will be of interest to Regimental historians, piping enthusiasts, genealogists of Scottish ancestry, and collectors of Scottish medals and militaria, among others.

*This book comprises a register of all the known airmen of Great Britain and the Empire who won the Military Cross during the First World War 1914-19. The first recipients of the Military Cross, which was newly instituted in December 1914, were announced in the London Gazette of 1 January 1915. Most awards were for gallantry in the air, but a few were for escaping or for services whilst prisoners of war, whilst others were used to reward ground staff before more appropriate awards became available. The authors have unearthed detailed service and biographical information of over one thousand airmen together with, in most cases, the full citations and, sometimes, the recommendations for their decorations. About two thirds of the entries are illuminated by a portrait photograph. This is a unique collection of research relating to these flyers, pilots, observers and ground personnel. It contains a wealth of amazing and interesting stories. These were a special breed of men, and this book is a remarkable record of gallantry in the air.

GOODING, N.: Honours and Awards to Women to 1914. Photographic illus., 228pp. orig. cloth, 1st edit., 2007. Fine copy in d.w. [ Ref: RGW13606] £34
*Until now reliable information on awards to women has been hard to find due to the scattered nature of the sources, and has been of doubtful validity due to inadequate research and uncritical repetition. In this book, Norman Gooding brings together for the first time all the existing published information, subjects it to critical revision, and adds much new material obtained from an in-depth study of crucial archives. This book looks at the contribution which women made in campaigns where men received an award but they did not and, later, at those campaign medals which actually were issued to women prior to the First World War. It gives some account of the activities which led to their award.This book will be of obvious use to both the medal collector and researcher, but should also be of interest to those wishing to study aspects of womenÕs acceptance into the military. The book includes:¥ nominal rolls of campaign medals issued¥ nominal rolls of orders and decorations open to women¥ details of women who received medals¥ a record of medals known to have survived

*This book records the details of over 4,800 recipients, who were awarded the Distinguished Service Order from 1923 (when the last major work on the Order by Sir OÕMoore Creagh and E.M. Humphris was published) until 2008. Along with the details of their awards is other service and biographical information. Among those who received the Distinguished Service Order are the names of many famous soldiers, sailors and airmen, but so too are the names of a great number of other men who joined up, Ôdid their bitÕ, and returned to civilian life. Many developed highly successful careers in other fields such as politics, diplomacy, academe, industry, and humanitarian causes. Some were colourful characters whilst most were relatively unknown to the wider world. All, however, inspired the men under their command and were true leaders.The majority of the awards of the Distinguished Service Order recorded in this volume were for the Second World War, but pre and post war campaigns, such as Waziristan, Palestine, Korea, Vietnam, the Falklands, the Gulf, Iraq, and Afghanistan are also included. It will come as no surprise that a number of the men were awarded the Victoria Cross and one the George Cross. Eight men during this period received a third Bar to the Order and others received First and Second Bars. This work will be an invaluable reference for historians, researchers, and those generally interested in Orders, Military Decorations and Medals.

*Approximately six and a half thousand Distinguished Flying Medals were awarded for the Second World War, but it is perhaps surprising just how many were gazetted without citation. These Ônon-immediateÕ or ÔperiodicÕ awards, although equally hard-earned as their ÔimmediateÕ counterparts, were gazetted without any citation details at all. Even a substantial number of ÔimmediateÕ citations were just abstracted from the actual Recommendation. The original Recommendations were deposited in the Public Record Office (PRO), but random organisation of these voluminous files has made it difficult or indeed impossible to locate any particular record. Even a successful search can be very time-consuming. Additionally a significant number of Recommendations are missing. These long-standing difficulties are now a thing of the past. Ian Tavender has completed the mammoth task of transcribing from the PRO files all surviving Recommendations for the Second World War, together with cogent remarks by Station & Base Commanders and Air Officers Commanding, and has compiled them alphabetically by recipient in this milestone reference work. Furthermore, where no Recommendation has been found, he has often unearthed the relevant press release and has included this information within these two volumes. Of the 6463 Distinguished Flying Medals (and 56 bars) awarded to Non-Commissioned Officers and Airmen of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth, all but 164 are published with the full Recommendation or relevant press release.
