R.N.V.R.); Defence and War Medals 1939-45; Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve Decoration, G.V.R., hallmarks for London 1928, cleaned, generally good very fine (8) £1,800-£2,200 --- Approximately 42 1914 Stars and 16 clasps issued to Motor Owner Drivers. Approximately 144 G.V.R. awards of the R.N.V.R. Decoration. Geoffrey Edgar Duveen was born at 16 York Street, Portman Square, London in July 1883, and was the son of Henry Duveen - an art dealer and an eminent philatelist who was considered one of the ‘Fathers of Philately’, who was in partnership with his brother Sir Joseph J. Duveen. He was educated at Bath and Merton College, Oxford and called to the Bar at the Inner Temple. Duveen was a Motor Owner Driver appointed to a Temporary commission in the Royal Marines as 2nd Lieutenant on 29 September 1914. These Motor Owner Drivers were ‘gentlemen’ car owners who volunteered to take their cars to the war zone and drive them under military command. They were all given Temporary commissions in the Royal Marines. Duveen served in the latter capacity at Antwerp, and advanced to Sub Lieutenant, Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve in January 1915. He was subsequently posted to the Royal Naval Division Headquarters Staff at Crystal Palace, and advanced to Lieutenant in January 1916. Duveen was examined by the Medical Director General’s Department and found to be totally deaf in one ear in February 1916. As a consequence he was declared unfit for active service afloat, and continued to serve at Crystal Palace. Duveen was subsequently posted to H.M.S. Cormorant at Gibraltar, and held various posts there. He was posted to H.M.S. Cassandra (light cruiser),12 June 1918, and served with her during the British intervention in the Russian Civil War. The latter was sunk by a German mine, 5 December 1918, near Saaremaa in the Gulf of Finland. Cassandra quickly sank, but most of her crew were rescued by the destroyers Westminster and Vendetta with only eleven of her crew lost. Duveen survived the sinking, and was demobilised in March 1919. Duveen transferred to the Permanent List of the London Division, R.N.V.R. in August 1921, and advanced to Lieutenant Commander in January 1926. He received the Freedom of the City of London in 1927. Duveen retired as Commander in September 1934 (awarded R.N.V.R. Decoration in 1934), but was re-engaged for service as Temporary Commander in September 1939. His Second War service included with the Spartiate depot ship, Glasgow, the Baccante, Aberdeen, as President, Admiralty Trade Division, and as Yeoman, Staff of the Flag Officer in Charge, London. Commander Duveen retired in August 1945, and received a Knighthood in the New Year’s Honours List of 1948, in recognition of services as Chairman of the Royal Ear Hospital, London. He was also Master of the Worshipful Company of Plumbers, a noted coin collector, and died in 1975. Sold with copied research.

She volunteered for part-time service with the Voluntary Aid Detachment during the Great War, and served with distinction throughout the Second World War, including the Portsmouth Blitz, as a Lay Superintendent, Civil Defence First Aid Post. She was awarded the Coronation Medal in 1937 as a ‘Lay Divisional Superintendent, Provincial Ambulance Services), and was appointed a Serving Sister of the Order of St. John in 1939 (London Gazette 23 June 1939), being advanced to Officer in 1943 (London Gazette 25 June 1943). She died in Portsmouth in 1966. Note: In light of her long service with the St. John Ambulance Brigade, Miss Reading is likely to have been entitled to further award bars to her Service Medal of the Order of St. John; clearly these were never fitted.

G. Foley (Third Class); and Lieutenant H. C. Chattley, Fane’s Irregular Cavalry, and Staff Assistant Surgeon J. J. McCarthy (both Fifth Class). McCarthy’s award is therefore a unique award to the Army Medical Service. French Legion of Honour, Chevalier, London Gazette 14 November 1862: ‘The Queen has been pleased to give and grant unto Staff Assistant Surgeon James Joseph McCarthy, MD, Her Majesty's Royal licence and permission that he accept and wear the Insignia of the Imperial Order of the Legion of Honour of the Fifth Class, which His Majesty the Emperor of the French has been pleased to confer upon him, as a mark of His Imperial Majesty’s approbation of his services, while under fire, to the French soldiers, wounded during the recent operations in China, and especially to the late Admiral Protet at the moment he was mortally wounded.’ James Joseph McCarthy was born in Killarney, Ireland, on 27 April 1835 and qualified as a Licentiate of Midwifery (LM) in Dublin in 1855. He was appointed a Member of the Royal College of Surgeons (MRCS) in England in 1857, and qualified as a Doctor of Medicine (MD) at Queen's University, Ireland, in 1858. McCarthy entered the Army the same year being appointed Assistant Surgeon on 16 November 1858 and served during the Second China War in 1860, being present at the capture of the Taku Forts and the march on and capture of Pekin, and subsequently in the Taeping Rebellion thereafter until 1862 (Medal and two clasps). He was awarded the French Legion of Honour, Fifth Class, for his services in the Taeping Rebellion, and was Mentioned by Brigadier-General C. Staveley, Commanding British Troops in China, in his Despatch dated Najow, 18 May 1862 (London Gazette 18 July 1862): ‘I have the honour to report for your information the capture yesterday of the fortified town of Najow by the allied British and French forces, and I might have added with trifling loss, had it not been for the death of Admiral Protet commanding His Imperial Majesty's Naval Forces in China, who was unfortunately shot through the heart during the advance of the storming party. In Admiral Protet the French Navy has lost a most able and zealous officer, and one who’s hearty energetic co-operation greatly conducted to the success of the recent operations.’ A more detailed report on the operations appears in the London Gazette of 5 August 1862, in which the casualties during the capture of Najow are recorded as: 31st Foot, five Privates severely wounded; Royal Navy, one Seaman severely wounded and one Staff Clerk, Military Staff Department severely wounded. The French suffered Admiral Protet killed, two Naval Officers severely wounded, two Marines severely wounded and five sailors severely wounded, probably all treated by McCarthy. The circumstances of the death of the Admiral and of the wounding of so many others are described by Caleb Carr in The Devil Soldier: ‘On Friday, May 16, the expeditionary force arrived at Nan-ch’iao, [Najow] and on the seventeenth, Admiral Protet and General Staveley undertook a personal reconnaissance of the city’s defences. Ward, as always, assumed his position at the head of his troops, preparing to storm Nan-ch’iao after the guns had done their work. In the afternoon, the artillery barrage began, and before long the usual sight of Taipings fleeing the city was noticed. At this point, General Stavele ordered the guns to cease fire and, together with his staff, began to dash about the walls looking for a suitable spot for storming. He was followed by a French contingent under Admiral Protet, moving at double time. And then, according to the [North China] Herald correspondent, “Lo and behold! The cunning defenders, who, with the exception of their guns’ crews and a few musket parties, had been lying behind and at the bottom of their wall to escape from our fire, uttered most appalling yells, manned their walls, and gave us a well-sustained sharp fire of small arms, well-directed.” In an instant, the carnival atmosphere was dispelled, for among those who fell in the hail of Taiping fire was Admiral Protet. A rebel musket ball hit him full in the chest, and he was flung back into the arms of his soldiers. The admiral was quickly taken to safety, but his wound proved mortal.’ McCarthy was appointed Assistant Surgeon of the 5th Regiment of Foot (Northumberland Fusiliers) on 10 July 1866, and served with them until he returned to the Army Medical Staff on 16 March 1872. Promoted to the rank of Surgeon Major on 18 October 1873, he was in medical charge of the 70th Hospital, at Subathu, near Simla, in 1878. He was appointed to take medical charge of the 3rd (The Kumaon) Goorkha Regiment (later 3rd Queen Alexandra’s Own Gurkha Rifles) from 6 December 1879, but was transferred away shortly afterwards. McCarthy joined the regiment after the capture of Kandahar, and, presumably, left before the battle of Ahmed Khel. It is possible that his Second Afghan War Medal was earned with this unit (his name does not appear on the Medical Staff roll). Hart’s Army List records that McCarthy was Mentioned in Despatches for Afghanistan, although no trace of this has been found in the London Gazette. He retired with the honorary rank of Brigade Surgeon on 5 December 1883, after 25 years’ service as an Army Surgeon. Sold with copied research.

Promoted temporary Captain, he was Mentioned in General Allenby’s Despatch (London Gazette 6 July 1917), and was awarded the Fourth Class of the Egyptian Order of the Nile for his services in the construction of a pipeline from the Nile to South Palestine, pumping water across the desert supplying water to the British forces - as the Arab proverb says: ‘When the waters of the Nile flow into Palestine, the Prophet from the West will enter Jerusalem and the Turks will be driven from it forever.’ Gibson was demobilised on 12 July 1919, and retained the rank of Captain. Sold with various photographs, the majority showing the construction of the pipeline in the desert and related workings; various contemporary postcards; and copied research, including a photographic image of the recipient taken from a newspaper cutting.

He was appointed to the Portsmouth Division and posted as Temporary Lieutenant to the Royal Marine Brigade in August 1914. Brooke-Short served with the latter at Dunkirk, Lille and the defence of Antwerp. He ‘landed in Gallipoli on 27th April, 1915, where he was wounded. He served in H.M.S. Malaya from 4th July, 1916, to 8th November, 1917, when he was promoted Captain.’ (Obituary refers) Brooke-Short was wounded in action the day after landing (28 April 1915), when he received shrapnel wounds to the upper part of both legs. After service with the Malaya, ‘he was A.D.C. to the Governor of Bombay from 25th September, 1919 to 29th December, 1921. He then served in H.M.S. Marlborough. He was Adjutant of Portsmouth Division from 9th January, 1925, to 30th September, 1926, and then served in H.M. ships Eagle, Marlborough, Erebus and Norfolk, being promoted Major on 30th November, 1931. He was serving in H.M.S. Cumberland as F.R.M.O., China, at the time of his death.’ (Obituary refers) Brooke-Short was serving with the Eagle, when after lending valuable assistance in the aftermath of the Corinth earthquake, he was awarded the Greek Red Cross Society’s Commemorative Medal - a distinction that Their Lordships permitted him to accept, but not wear.

His employment prior to the Great War is given as Time Keeper, having served with the Rifle Brigade for 16 years and 233 days previously. Fitzgibbon was one of the many members of the St. John Ambulance who volunteered to serve in the Royal Naval Auxiliary Sick Berth Reserve during the early part of the 20th Century. He was mobilised, 2 August 1914, aged 49 years old and must have been one of the oldest members of the Sick Berth Reserve to have seen service at Ostend and Antwerp in 1914. Fitzgibbon was posted as Senior Reserve Attendant to H.M.S. Pembroke at Chatham. He was one of 85 men of the RNASBR that were sent for service with the Royal Naval Division, and one of just 41 men of the RNASBR to be issued with the 1914 Star and Clasp. Fitzgibbon returned to the UK, and was posted to the hospital ship Magic in December 1914. He served with the latter as part of the Dardanelles Operations of 1915-16, and advanced to Acting Sick Berth Steward when he returned to the UK in May 1917. Subsequent postings included with H.M.S. Sachem, and at H.M.S. City of Perth. Fitzgibbon was demobilised in June 1919, aged 54 years old. Sold with copied research.
