The Middlesex Regiment (Duke of Cambridge’s Own), 25th Battalion Framed Print Concerning the s.s. Tyndareus 7 February 1917.
The coloured print, 660mm x 520mm, names all ranks of those on board. The ship was torpedoed off the coast of South Africa, the CO assembled the battalion on deck and took a roll call. Songs were sung as the prospect of a ‘Birkenhead’ situation loomed. Fortunately all personnel were transferred to other ships and landed safely, the Captain of the ship exercising great skill successfully docked her in Simmonstown harbour where she was subsequently repaired. The Roll was printed by the ‘South China Morning Post’ Hong Kong, mounted in a glazed frame, good condition £60-£100

This lot was sold as part of a special collection, The Jack Webb Collection of Medals and Militaria.
