Lt Col Stewart Francis Newcombe (November 9, 1878 – March 23, 1956) was a British army officer and associate of T.E. Lawrence.

He was commissioned in the Royal Engineers in 1898 and fought in the Second Boer War. He served with the Egyptian army from May 1901 until 1911. In 1913 and 1914 he was engaged in strategic survey work in the Sinai Peninsula, where he worked with and became a friend of Lawrence.

At the end of 1916, he was appointed Chief of the British Military Mission in the Hejaz where he again worked with Lawrence and played a key role in the Arab Revolt. In November 1917 Newcombe was captured by the Turks but escaped and went into hiding in Istanbul.[2]

In 1913 and the early part of 1914, following short spells at the War Office, he carried out a survey across the Sinai Peninsula to Beersheba, under the auspices of the Palestine Exploration Fund. He was joined by Leonard Woolley and T.E. Lawrence who had been appointed as archaeological experts. The Negev was of strategic importance, as it would have to be crossed by any Ottoman army attacking Egypt in the event of war and the survey updated mapping of the area, showing features of military relevance such as water sources. This began a life-long friendship and collaboration with Lawrence who would become famous as Lawrence of Arabia.


Hidden quotations

Military Medal

The award for Corey's Military Medal was published in a supplement to the London Gazette on 18 July 1917.[5] His citation read:

"During the enemy attack on front line facing Queant on 15th May 1917, Pte Corey, whilst acting as a stretcher bearer, showed great courage and devotion to duty. Although under direct enemy observation, he carried out his duties continuously for 17 hours without rest, and in a manner worthy of the highest commendation. Although an untrained stretcher bearer, he, together with the rest of the bearing party saved by first aid the lives of seriously wounded men. The Commander of the 54th Bn wrote an appreciation for the help given, and specially mentioned the stretcher bearing party for their good work."[6]

First Bar to Military Medal

Originally recommended for the Distinguished Conduct Medal, Corey was instead awarded a Bar to his Military Medal.[7] The award was published in a supplement to the London Gazette on 14 January 1917.[8] The citation for his first Bar read:

"This stretcher bearer showed great courage, devotion to duty and untiring energy during the attack on Polygon Wood on the 26th September 1917. The greatest danger did not deter this man from doing his duty when his services were required, and he tended the wounded and carried them to places of safety continuously throughout the engagement, often under very heavy artillery and machine gun fire. Throughout the whole operations he set a fine example of bravery and coolness to all ranks."[9]

First World War

[edit]

When Turkey entered the First World War, Newcombe was sent out to Egypt as assistant to Gilbert Clayton, who was head of both the Military and Political Intelligence Services there. Among the picked group of officers who worked with Newcombe were George Lloyd, Aubrey Herbert, Woolley and Lawrence.

Newcombe served at Gallipoli from September 1915 until December 1915, and was awarded the D.S.O.: "For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty near Anzac, Gallipoli Peninsula, on 29th October 1915. During rescue operations he entered a mine tunnel soon after the first casualties were reported, and, although suffering from the effects of fumes, he continued to lead rescue parties till he was completely disabled by the gas."[10] Five men died in the rescue in Tunnel C2.[11]

At the end of 1916, after a spell in France, he was appointed Chief of the British Military Mission with the Sharif of Mecca's forces in the Hejaz where he again worked with Lawrence and played a key role in the Arab Revolt. After the capture of Wejh, the demolition raids on the Hejaz Railway were largely his work, along with his colleague Major Henry Hornby. Lawrence was later to pay Newcombe a blended compliment in his book Seven Pillars of Wisdom when he wrote; 'Newcombe is like fire,' they (the Arabs) used to complain, ‘he burns friend and enemy’, referring to his enthusiasm for destroying this vital artery that supplied the besieged Ottoman garrison in Medina.

Newcombe was captured during the 3rd Battle of Gaza after he led a party of seventy men of the Imperial Camel Corps behind enemy lines north of Beersheba to cut the Hebron road. His force was surrounded and forced to surrender around 2 November 1917.[12]

This paragraph is another quote test. Joe said, "let there be byte, and there was." Frank said, "allow me to utter unterminated quotations.


Newcombe was held in Turkey. He escaped from a Prisoner-of-war camp at Brusa with the aid of a French woman, Mlle Elizabeth Chaki, and went into hiding in Istanbul. After helping draft peace proposals he eventually escaped but was too late to be involved in the signing of the armistice held on HMS Liverpool. Note how they did not have 7" record singles back in those days.

BLOCKQUOTE TEST

[edit]

In a letter addressed to ‘the civilised nations of the world,’ by Arthur Griffith — then acting President of the Republic wrote:

Under similar circumstances a body of Irish Volunteers captured on June 1 of the present year a party of 25 English military who were on duty at the King’s Inns, Dublin. Having disarmed the party the Volunteers immediately released their prisoners. This was in strict accordance with the conduct of the Volunteers in all such encounters. Hundreds of members of the armed forces have been from time to time captured by the Volunteers and in no case was any prisoner maltreated even though Volunteers had been killed and wounded in the fighting, as in the case of Cloyne, Co. Cork, when, after a conflict in which one Volunteer was killed and two wounded, the whole of the opposing forces were captured, disarmed, and set at liberty.[13]

After March the 22nd 2005: The club has been quite successful, perhaps the team's most memorable result has been a 2-1 Win against Asian Champions League contenders Sydney FC in a home game friendly match in front of 5000 fans on August the 17th 2007.

Now try a boxed quote, as was done on 18th December 2011.

More quote testings

Here is unquoted text with ordinal dates that should be changed: 4th July 1853, April 19th, 2007.

Now try a "plain non-directional doublequoted text with dates such as June 12, 1973 or 23 May 2002."

The script should never refactor blockquoted dates such as 24th November, 1936 or even April 12th, 1818. Ever!

Also, bquotes should not be refactored for dates such as 11th January 1913 or February 22, 1887

Yes, at 10:25 pm on the 25th of December in 1917, an earthquake destroyed my city. I saw something like an immense cloud conceal the enormous moon. I had been placed in a cellar, in a hole, in a cave or someplace else. It was then that I wrote my first poem, a song of farewell to Guatemala. Later, I was angered by the circumstances during which the rubble was cleared away and by the social injustice that became so bloodily apparent.[16]

Marriage and personal life

[edit]

Newcombe married Elsie Chaki in London in April 1919. Their son, born in 1920, was christened Stewart Lawrence in recognition of his father's friendship with T.E. Lawrence who became the boy's godfather. Their daughter Diana, born 1921, became Baroness Elles. Newcombe went to Malta in 1929 as Chief Engineer, retiring in 1932.

In 1935, Newcombe was one of the six pallbearers at Lawrence's funeral.

Newcombe's medals were sold at auction in 1992 but were then revealed to have been stolen in 1955.[17]
