For full provenance please see condition report online) CONDITION REPORTS Thomas Graves was born in Belfast, and joined the Royal Navy in 1816 when he was just 14 years old. In 1827 he was promoted to lieutenant and served aboard HMS Adventure, where he surveyed the Patagonian coastline and traded commodities for artefacts with the tribes of the Tierra del Fuego. As Lieutenant Commander he surveyed the Mediterranean aboard HMS Mastiff and HMS Beacon. In 1846 he was promoted to Captain, and took charge of HMS Volage and HMS Ceylon. And in 1853, at the age of 51, he was handed a new command - Superintendent of Ports at Malta. But in 1856, tragedy struck. He had ordered a boat belonging to Giuseppe Meli to be hauled up for 15 days for overcharging a passenger. While hauled up, the planks of the boat dried rendering the vessel unseaworthy, and Meli's livelihood was ruined. Seeking revenge he stabbed Captain Graves in the abdomen, perforating his small bowel. Graves was treated by two local doctors who, unable to assess the depth of the wound, dressed it and sent him home. At his residence he was visited by an English doctor and an army surgeon. He died at his residence in Floriana on August 28 - three days after the attack.Meli was arrested for murder, but during his trial his lawyer convinced the court that it was the negligent treatment administered to him by the doctors - rather than the knife - that killed Captain Graves. With the jury finding him guilty of severe bodily harm, the court sentenced Meli to nine years' hard labour. The oak iron-bound trunk was made by E & W Seagrove, naval outfitters of Portsea, near Portsmouth. It bears a brass plaque to the lid engraved Cpt Graves RN

A Queens South Africa Medal with Cape Colony clasp to 294 PTE. E. ASHLEY 5TH COY. 2ND IMP. YEO. Ernest Prier Ashley was mentioned in despatches and also on p24 of Volume III of History of the War in South Africa 1899-1902 (Hurst & Blackett 1908) which recounts how whilst serving as a trooper with the Warwickshire Imperial Yeomanry he was severely wounded on May 28th 1900 at Kheis Drift on the Orange River. Private Ashley and Major J. A. Orr-Ewing were going to the rescue of Lieutenant J. S. Forbes and Corporal A. Baxter, whose horses had been shot from under them whilst crossing the drift on a mission to reconnoitre a nearby river island. In doing so, both Ashley and Major Orr-Ewing were wounded and in turn a ten-man rescue party went to their aid. Of the fourteen men involved in what started as a routine two-man reconnaissance mission, three men were killed: Major Orr-Ewing, Corporal Baxter and Private W. F. Lane. All but three of the eleven survivors of the Kheis Drift skirmish were wounded by rifle fire coming from the Boer occupied island. Ashley rejoined the Yeomanry as a commissioned officer and served in Palestine in 1917. He retired from the Army with the rank of Major and settled in his home town, Bedford.
