Sold by Order of the Family ‘Ohio, being the only tanker, was marked for particular attention, and during the course of her voyage suffered a direct hit from a torpedo, direct bomb hits, any number of near-misses, and was struck by two Luftwaffe aircraft shot down while attacking her. Despite her engines being dead and her hull practically broken in two, she was towed into Grand Harbour by three destroyers and a minesweeper with her cargo virtually intact.’ (The Ohio and Malta - the Legendary Tanker that Refused to Die by Michael Pearson) ‘H.M. Ships were handled throughout with skill and daring, particularly during the final stages when, in the face of concentrated attack from air, submarine and surface forces, it became necessary to tow one of the most important and unwieldy vessels in the convoy, the S.S. Ohio, which had been seriously damaged.’ (Introduction to recommendations for awards to officers and men for Operation Pedestal - Honours and Awards Committee) The important Second War 1942 ‘Operation Pedestal’ D.S.O. group of twelve awarded to Commander H. J. A. S. Jerome, Royal Navy, who, as Commanding Officer of the 17th Minesweeping Flotilla, Malta Force, took operational command during the later stages of Operation Pedestal - the allies final effort to relieve the beleaguered island of Malta - and, under the most trying of circumstances, successfully co-ordinated the safe passage of the vital yet crippled tanker, Ohio, to the safe berth of Valetta’s Grand Harbour. Having arrived in H.M.S. Speedy following the departure of the main convoy escort, Jerome set about organising repeated efforts to stabilise the slowly sinking Ohio even as she remained the object of relentless air attack and under continuous threat from enemy submarines and E-boats. Finally, with a destroyer on either side, another destroyer secured astern to act as rudder and a minesweeper positioned for towing, he succeeded in slowly manoeuvring the fragile tanker through the heavily mined approach towards her ultimately tumultuous reception from the Maltese. A young Midshipman in the battle cruiser H.M.S. Courageous during the Great War, Jerome had served in submarines between the wars and went on to end his distinguished naval career as Commander in Chief of the Irish Navy. Sold with a substantial archive of related original material Distinguished Service Order, G.VI.R., silver-gilt and enamel, reverse officially dated 1942, with integral top riband bar; British War and Victory Medals (Mid.

London Gazette 10 November 1942: ‘For bravery and dauntless resolution while serving in H.M. Ships when an important Convoy was fought through to Malta in the face of relentless attacks by day and night from enemy submarines, aircraft and surface forces.’ The original recommendation states: ‘For the brilliantly successful feat of saving the tanker Ohio after she had been severely damaged and immobilised I consider the following officers worthy of immediate awards. Acting Commander H. J. A. S. Jerome (Commander Minesweepers Malta) who was in charge of operations during the last day and night on board Speedy.’ Henry Joseph Alexander Savile Jerome was born on 3 June 1900 in Mexico City, the son of the diplomat Lucien Joseph James Robertson Jerome, then British Vice-Consul in Mexico, and his Australian wife Vivien Fane (Savill). He was admitted as an Officer Cadet to the Royal Naval College, Osborne in January 1914 and proceeded to the Royal Naval College Dartmouth before joining the battlecruiser H.M.S. Courageous as a Midshipman in April 1917, remaining in her until the conclusion of the war. Jerome was promoted Lieutenant in September 1921 and went up to Caius College, Cambridge two months later, winning the Oxford and Cambridge Universities Welterweight 1st prize medal in March 1922 (medal with lot) - an artist’s depiction of his victory over P. I. Bell (Queen’s, Oxford) subsequently appeared as a full page feature in the Christmas 1922 edition of The Field magazine (copy with lot). Returning to sea, Jerome joined the Submarine L 56 in September 1922 and served mostly in submarines until August 1927 when he joined the destroyer H.M.S. Sesame. His advancement to Lieutenant-Commander in 1929 was followed by service in a succession of surface ships until 1935 at which time he joined the Royal Marines in Egypt for a year. In 1936, he transferred to an Officer Instructor role with the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve (South Africa) and was still serving in this capacity when war broke out in 1939. Recalled to home waters, Lieutenant-Commander Jerome served in the Minesweeper Trawler H.M.S. Wardour from January 1941 until his appointment as Commander Minesweepers at Her Majesty’s Naval Base Clyde in March of that year. Then, in June of 1942, with the war in the Mediterranean - and Malta’s prolonged siege in particular - reaching a critical stage, Jerome was sent to Valetta as Commander Minesweepers Malta, his arrival coming as immediate relief to the submariners of the 10th Submarine Flotilla who had been required to leave Malta on account of mines and the temporary supremacy of enemy aircraft: ‘The one small success of the two failed convoy operations [Harpoon and Vigorous] had been the arrival in Malta of Commander Jerome in Speedy. He had led his three up-to-date fleet minesweepers round Cape Bon during the night of 14/15 June, unnoticed by the enemy who were concentrating on ‘Harpoon’ and the supply ships. The sweepers slipped safely into harbour. Their hard work and courage in the face of constant danger meant that the Tenth’s submarines could now return to their home base.’ (The Fighting Tenth - The Tenth Submarine Flotilla and the Siege of Malta by John Wingate D.S.C.) Operation Pedestal With Operations Harpoon and Vigourous having failed to revictualise the stricken island of Malta, the War Cabinet decided to make one last all out effort. Planning for Operation Pedestal began immediately and Churchill’s assertion that the ‘The Navy would never abandon Malta’ would be put to the test. As Leonard MacDonald, a Royal Marine in H.M.S. Manchester on Pedestal later put it: ‘What other convoy during the war had an escort of 54 men o’ war, including 2 battleships, both 16 inch, four carriers, twelve cruisers and 40 destroyers plus the smaller stuff? We were warned that if we got one ship through and lost half the escort it would be classed as a success.’ Having left the Clyde on 3 August, the convoy passed through the straits of Gibraltar on 9/10 August and, together with its various escort formations, was then subjected to relentless attack from U-Boats and Italian submarines, the Luftwaffe and Regio Aeronautica, and from Axis surface vessels. This story of continuous violence needs no retelling here, but suffice it to say that by the afternoon 13 August, as the now depleted force neared the end of its epic journey, of the 14 merchantmen that originally set out, nine were sunk and three damaged, while the senior service had sustained losses of an aircraft carrier, a cruiser and a destroyer, as well as havin...

London Gazettes 10 September 1901 (South Africa); 22 June 1915 (France) Henry Joseph Walker Jerome was born on 7 January 1855 in India, of half French and half Irish ancestry. His father was Major-General John Jerome of the 86th Foot. Jerome’s mother, a descendent of Sir Isaac Newton, was from the ancient Newton family of Shropshire. Brought to England at the age of five, he followed the family tradition and passed into Woolwich as a Gentleman Cadet in 1873 at the age of sixteen. He was commissioned Lieutenant in the Royal Engineers on 11 March 1874 and went out to India where he spent several years and served in the Afghan War (1878-80) for two years under Sir Donaldson Stewart being present at the actions of Ahmed Khel and Takht-i-Pul (medal with clasp). Returning to England, Jerome was appointed Instructor of Fortifications at Chatham which post he occupied for two years, and then was placed in command of a Railway Company in England, and later Adjutant of the Volunteer Engineers at Glasgow. Having been advanced Captain in 1885 and Major in 1893, he went out to South Africa, following the outbreak of war, in command of the 9th Field Company R.E. and served with Lord Roberts at Paardeberg and was present at the capture of Cronje. He marched with Lord Roberts from Paardeberg to Pretoria and returned with home with the Field Marshall at the end of 1900, receiving promotion to Lieutenant-Colonel shortly afterwards. For his services during the Boer War he was mentioned in despatches, created a C.B., and awarded the Q.S.A. with 4 clasps. Subsequently, for five years, Jerome was in command of the C.R.E.s at South Aldershot, receiving the Brevet of Colonel in 1904 and retiring in 1907 to Bilton Hall where he led the life of a gentleman farmer and enjoyed considerable success as a breeder and exhibitor of riding horses. On the outbreak of the Great War, Colonel Jerome volunteered his services once more and for four months was engaged in purchasing remounts in the West Riding of Yorkshire. He embarked for France with the C.R.E. Division in January 1915 and served at Ypres, claiming to be one of the first Englishmen to experience poison gas - at Zonnebeke. After five months in France, when his Division came out of the trenches, he returned home and was subsequently mentioned in despatches and created a Companion of the Order of St. Michael and St. George. In June 1915, he was sent to Newark with Colonel Schreiber to start the Royal Engineers Depot and when the latter left, he was given command. He reached the age limit in 1917 and retired once more to his country home. The Colonel died in Hampshire in 1943.

Gray, 14 New Bond St., 75mm, with ‘sew-on’ gold eyelets at its eight principal points, one eyelet lacking, otherwise good very fine and an extremely rare London-made piece of insignia £3,000-£4,000 --- Provenance: Christie’s, March 1989, when sold with a damaged gold badge and contemporary leather case with note stating: ‘Admiral Sir George Martin, G.C.B., G.C.M.G., K.St.J., Admiral of the Fleet and Vice Admiral of the United Kingdom. died July 28th 1847. aged 83 - In 1811 he received the Order of St Januarius from the King of Naples as a mark of His Majesty’s approbation of the essential and zealous services rendered by him to that Kingdom and which was subsequently sanctioned by his own Sovereign.’ Sir George Martin received the Naval Gold Medal for the battle of St Vincent at which he was Captain of H.M.S. Irresistible and to which ship Commodore Nelson transferred his flag immediately following the battle, his own ship being badly damaged. Martin’s sword is held by the National Maritime Museum as is also a half-length portrait [a copy by Charles Landseer after the original by Sir Thomas Lawrence] showing Martin in admiral’s full dress uniform of the 1812-25 pattern, wearing the star and ribbon of the G.C.B., the St Vincent medal and the star of the Neopolitan Order of St Januarius. Sir George Martin was the son of Captain William Martin, R.N., and his wife Arabella, the daughter of Admiral Sir William Rowley. He appears to have first gone to sea in the Monarch in December 1776 as a servant to his uncle, Captain Joshua Rowley. He was at the action off Ushant on 27 July 1778, and followed Rowley to the Suffolk, which saw action in the battle of Grenada, 6 July 1779, and off Martinique in April and May the following year. He was promoted Lieutenant in the Russell on 16 July 1780, and later joined his uncle again in the Princess Royal at Jamaica. Promoted to command the sloop Tobago on 9 March 1780, Martin was then posted to the Preston 50, on 17 March 1783, and returned home in 1784. From 1789-92 Martin commanded the Porcupine 24, off the coast of Ireland and was in the Magicienne 32, in the West Indies in 1793. He was appointed to the Irresistible 74, in 1795, seeing action in the battle of Cape St Vincent. He was appointed to tge 74-gun Northumberland in July 1798 and was in charge of the blockade of Malta from May 1800, receiving the surrender of Valetta on 5 September that year. In 1801 he was under Lord Keith off Egypt. He commanded the Colossus in the Channel in 1803, the Glory in 1804 and in November of that year was appointed to the Barfleur, seeing action off Cape Finisterre on 22 July 1805. Martin was promoted rear-admiral on 9 November 1805, and became second-in-command of Portsmouth in 1806. The following year he was engaged in the blockade of Cadiz and spent time in the Mediterranean under Lord Collingwood. He was promoted vice-admiral on 31 July 1810. From 1812-14 he was commander-in-chief in the Tagus, and was knighted in 1814 when the Prince Regent visited the fleet at Spithead in 1814. He was made admiral on 19 July 1821, and was commander-in-chief at Portsmouth, 1824-27, with his flag in the Victory. In retirement he eventually attained the rank of admiral of the fleet. He died on 28 July 1847, at his house in Berkeley Square, London. Nicholas Carlisle, in his Foreign Orders of Knighthood, London 1839, records just nine British recipients of this rare order, the second of whom, after the Duke of Wellington, was ‘George Martin, Esq, Vice-Admiral of the Blue Squadron of His Majesty’s Fleet, and Commanding Officer of His Majesty’s Ships and Vessels on the coast of Sicily, G.C.B., “as a testimony of the sense which His Sicilian Majesty entertains of his Services,” for which Royal Licence was granted on 6 July 1811.
