A presentation illuminated address to Colonel Henry Fludyer of the Scots Guards ‘on his return from the Egyptian Campaign 1882’ from ‘the inhabitants of Uppingham’, the intricately decorated parchment address contained in its original red leather binding (‘The manner in which you and your companions in arms have performed the duty assigned to you has been the admiration of the whole civilized world and we are proud to think that a member of your much respected family has had the opportunity of serving his Queen and Country in this distinguished campaign ... We beg to assure you that we fully sympathized with your revered parents Sir J. H. and Lady Fludyer in their natural anxiety on your behalf and it was to us a very great pleasure as we watched each telegram to know that through the Providence of God your valued life was spared ... ’), and bearing the signatures of 24 locals, leather binding scuffed in places, contents in excellent condition (Lot) £150-200 Footnote Henry Fludyer, who was born in May 1847, the son of the Rev. Sir J. H. Fludyer, Bt., was appointed a Lieutenant in the Scots Guards in 1866. A Lieutenant-Colonel in his regiment by the outbreak of hostilities in Egypt in 1882, he was present at the action at Mahuta and at the battle of Tel-el-Kebir, in addition to the subsequent Suakin operations of 1885 (Egypt Medal, 2 clasps and Khedive’s Star). Placed on half-pay in 1896, Fludyer was awarded the Jubilee Medal in the following year and held command of the Scots Guards and Regimental District 1898-1903, in which period he was awarded the C.V.O. to mark the occasion of the presentation of Colours to the 3rd Battalion by the King in 1901 - one of his final duties, in January 1903, was to present members of the 2nd Battalion with their King’s South Africa Medals. Having then reverted to the Retired List, Fludyer was appointed a Gentleman Usher in Ordinary to King, in which capacity he added the Coronation 1902 and 1911 Medals to his accolades. The Colonel, who briefly commanded the Scots Guards on the outbreak of hostilities in August 1914, died in April 1920.
