‘In recognition of services... of the Eastern Mediterranean Squadron during the evacuation of the Gallipoli Peninsula in December 1915 to January 1916’
Seth Barratt was born in King’s Lynn, Norfolk, on 16 July 1886 and was a tailor’s boy, before he entered naval service on 19 October 1901 as a Boy 2nd Class in H.M.S. Ganges. Advanced Ordinary Seaman in H.M.S. Flora on 14 July 1904 and Able Seaman in January 1905, he was drafted to H.M.S. Glory as a Leading Seaman on 18 August 1914, and was promoted Petty Officer on 1 October. He served during the evacuation of Gallipoli, work for which he was awarded the D.S.M. Barratt was appointed Gunner in December 1915, Commissioned Gunner in 1925 and Lieutenant in 1936.
Barratt, who was promoted Lieutenant-Commander in 1944, was to render valuable services during the Second War. Indeed, Seedie’s roll lists Lieutenant-Commander S. Barratt as having been sent a letter of praise for services rendered in Operation Neptune in 1944.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL BUYERS
All lots in DNW auctions are automatically reserved at the bid step which reflects 80% of the lower estimate figure, unless otherwise instructed by the vendor.
All multiple lots (lots containing two or more items) with the exception of designated sets of notes, are sold as viewed and not subject to return. Buyers are recommended to view such lots.
Lots marked ‘x’ in dark blue are subject to importation duty of 5% on the hammer price unless exported outside the EU.
Important Notice Advance Bidding Facility
Please note that our easy-to-use advance bidding facility, which replaces the ‘old-fashioned’ commission bid system, provides all bidders with total control over their bids right up to the point that the lot is offered for sale.
Bids made online cannot be seen by others and do not go live until the actual moment that the lot in question is being offered for sale. All bids can be easily altered or cancelled by the bidder prior to this point. An automated confirmatory email will be sent confirming all bids and alterations.
Anyone with a valid email address can easily register to bid online.
There is no additional charge for online bidding and it is not necessary to pre-register a payment card in order to do so.
It is recommended that all bidders execute their own bids, either prior to the auction by using this facility or live as the auction is taking place.
Whilst we are still happy to execute all bids submitted in writing or by phone, fax or any other method, it should be noted that all bids left with us will be entered at our offices using the same bidding facility to which all our clients now have access. There is, therefore, no better way of ensuring the accuracy of your advance bids than to place them yourself online.
