A. Campbell, H.M. I.M.S.), nearly extremely fine, mounted for wear by Spink & Son (2) D.S.O. London Gazette 20.5.1887 Alexander Campbell, Capt, R.I.M., 'For operations in Burma.'The above award was based on the following recommendation made by Sir Charles Bernard, Chief Commissioner, Burma, to General the Hon. G. Chesney:'I wish to bring to your notice the good services done by Officers of the Indian Marine in Upper Burma during the last 16 months. They have been partly under the Military Authorities, and their work has been highly appreciated by the soldiers. Since none of the Marine Officers received recognition for their services while soldiers, navy men and civilians have been more or less honoured in the ‘Upper Burma Campaign Gazette’, and on the occasion of the Jubilee. As I am leaving Burma for good I wish to recommend to your notice two men who have come most to the front among Indian Marine Officers:Captain Alexander Campbell. He was Transport Officer with the Expedition, arranged marshalling etc. of steamers, was Transport Officer at Mandalay for months. Did well and gave satisfaction all round, while at the same time holding his own. General Prendergast spoke highly of his work. But none but naval men knew the difficulties of conducting 28 steamers, with flats, smoothly and regularly up a shallow river without pilots. The Irrawaddy, Kathleen and Marine Survey Party helped, but Captain Campbell was the real Commodore, or sailing-master of the fleet.'Captain Alexander Campbell, C.I.E., D.S.O. (1839-1914), born Ballyatton, Country Down, Ireland; employed as an Apprentice aboard the Acadia from 1854, and served in this vessel until 1858; appointed Third Officer in the Delgancy, 1858; served as 2nd Officer in the Barousmore, and was one of the 19 survivors when she foundered in a cyclone in 1863; joined the Indian Marine as a 1st Grade Officer for service in the Clyde, August 1865; subsequent service included in the Coromandel and the Sir John Lawrence; promoted Commander, August 1867 and served in a number of vessels over the following three years before being appointed Dock Master at Karachi Dockyard, September 1880; he also carried out duties of Superintendent of Marine; appointed Port Officer Rangoon, 1883, and Staff Officer Bombay Dockyard the following year; he served as Transport Officer Calcutta, from October 1885; in this capacity he was employed in connection with the 1885-87 Burma Expeditionary Force; Campbell subsequently received the following appointments: Acting Deputy Director Indian Marine, May 1886; Staff Officer Bombay Dockyard, April 1887; Officiating Director Indian Marine, May 1887; Deputy Director Indian Marine, Bombay,November 1888; Officiating Director Indian Marine, Bombay, May 1890; Deputy Director Karachi Dockyard, August 1890; Officiating Director Bombay Dockyard, October 1891; Deputy Director Karachi Dockyard, October 1891; retired 1894 (created C.I.E. October 1893); in later life he resided at Rathgael, Bedford.Only three Officers of the Royal Indian Marine were recommended for any form of reward for their services during the Burma Campaign 1885-87. Of these men only one, Captain Alexander Campbell, received a decoration, the other two being promoted in rank.Subject to 20% VAT on Buyer’s Premium.

London Gazette 12.1.1883 Mr. Samuel Spruce, Minining Engineer, in joint citation with Reuben Smallman, Mining Engineer; Arthur Henry Stokes, Inspector of Mines; Charles Day, Collier and Charles Chetwynd, Collier (all Albert Medals First Class); and to Frederick Samuel Marsh, Certified Colliery Manager; Thomas Harry Mottram, Certified Colliery Manager; William Morris, Collier; William Pickering, Collier and Joseph Chetwynd, Collier (all, like Spruce, Albert Medals Second Class), 'For conspicuous gallantry displayed on the occasion of the Fire and Explosion at the Baddesley Colliery in May last.'Heroic Endeavour by D.V. Henderson, G.M., offers further insight on the Baddesley (also known as Baxterley) Colliery Disaster, 'At 9am an explosion centred around a small water pump intensified the problems previously created by a fire which had been raging for several hours. The fire had trapped nine men on the night shift and an attempt to reach them was in progress at the time of the explosion which caused serious injuries amongst the rescuers. Half an hour later a second rescue party led by Arthur Henry Stokes went down to deal with casualties and the effects of the explosion having to cope with dense smoke and carbon dioxide fumes. They were also joined by uninjured members of the first party but work had to be abandoned in the afternoon due to the dense smoke and gas.'The biographical section on Spruce in the privately printed booklet included with the lot states, 'Mr Samuel Spruce, mining engineer, Tamworth, on hearing of the fire at the Baddesley Colliery, and that nine miners were entombed, hastened to the spot, in the hope that his long and varied experience might be of service. On arriving at the pit top, he found that an explosion had occured, and that many explorers were burned, and that Mr. Dugdale, with others, was still in the mine. After receiving an account of the accident from Mr. Smallman, he immediately volunteered to go down, and with Mr. Stokes organised and assisted in the first party which entered the pit after the explosion, and proceeded along that perilous route already described until Mr. Dugdale was found and rescued. Having no personal acquaintance with the workings of the colliery, being far advanced in life, and knowing so well the imminent danger incurred by anyone entering the mine, he displayed an act of conspicuous bravery.'A letter (held by the Warwickshire County Record Office) written by Frederick Marsh (the Colliery Manager) to a Miss Gilbert, dated 14.6.1882 gives the following, 'still further in were nine men and a boy, who could not get past the fire in consequence of the smoke, so a party of 36 explorers went to find them and help them out, but whilst doing so a terrific explosion of gas occurred, some distance away but the flames completely filled the roads, and there was nothing to breathe but one dense mass of flame, all were heavily scorched and burnt it was just at this time I arrived at the pit with the inspector and was volunteered to go down and get them out but just as we were starting down the pit another mass of gas exploded and filled everywhere with flame, but by stuffing our caps in our mouths we managed not to breathe any of it, and burying our faces in our coat sleeves were not burnt except a little hair, so we made another attempt and got out pretty easily. 33 of the explorers all alive could not possibly be alive so we closed them in and shut up the pit where they will be for some some weeks yet, as well as 11 horses that were burnt, it was the most sickly sight to be imagined.'Subject to 20% VAT on Buyer’s Premium.

Palomares during operations in the Mediterranean. The Palomares took part in the initial Torch operation. She was bombed and damaged on 9th November, 1942 off Algiers and suffered many casualties. Her steering gear was put out of action and fire started. Despite this gun crews continued firing and the ship was finally brought into Algiers harbour. After repairs in the U.K. Palomares returned to the Mediterranean where she has been continuously employed as an Anti-Aircraft ship for through Mediterranean convoys. Palomares took part in Avalanche, operating as Fire Defence and Anti-Aircraft ship for the Southern Attack Force. She claims four aircraft shot down during this operation.'Captain John Henry Jauncey, D.S.O., (1889-1958), was born in Eastbourne, Sussex, the son of Commander H.H. Jauncey, R.N. and Blanche Pringle, and was educated at H.M.S. Britannia. Appointed Midshipman, 15.9.1905, he served before the Great War in H.M.S. Triumph and later in H.M.S. Swiftsure. Commissioned Sub-Lieutenant, 30.12.1908, he was promoted Lieutenant, 22.6.1911, serving in H.M.S. Blenheim. During the Great War he served in the Dover Patrol, escorting the convoys of ships backwards and forwards to France supplying the British Armies on the Western Front, and received his first command, H.M.S. Flying Fish, 24.10.1915, transferring to the torpedo boat P.12, 10.2.1916. In December 1916, whilst in command of the P.12 and on escort duty he helped save the life of a number of the crew of the French Destroyer Yatagan after she had collided with H.M.S. Teviot in thick fog during the night of 3-4.12.1916 off the coast of Dieppe, for which he was awarded the Naval Life Saving Medal by the French Government in appreciation of services rendered.Promoted Lieutenant-Commander, 2.6.1919, Jauncey continued to serve in Destroyers, before being appointed Officer Instructor, East Scottish Division, R.N.V.R., 15.8.1927, he retired with the rank of Commander, 15.4.1932. On the outbreak of the Second World War he was called back to the Navy, and in the summer of 1940 was appointed to the command of H.M.S. Versatile (Destroyer). 'Her role was to escort the coal convoys supplying English power stations from Methil in the Firth of Forth to Sheerness in the Thames Estuary. This involved passing through the notorious 'E' boat Alley off the East Anglian coast where these German high speed motor torpedo boats based in Holland and Belgium as well as aircraft attacked these convoys. The Versatile saw a fair amount of action and the newspapers recorded that on one occasion she shot down a Messerschmitt fighter/bomber hitting it full in the nose. This class of destroyer required to have her boilers cleaned regularly to maintain her performance and during boiler cleans short leave was usually granted to the ship's company. This created a problem because there were a number of Glaswegians on board who reckoned that a spell in jail for desertion was a more comfortable form of existence than life on the mess-deck of a 1918 destroyer in the North Sea. The normal drill was that deserters were brought back to the ship, then court-martialled and duly sent to Barlinnie. The ship was very short-handed and the loss of every man threw an extra burden on the remainder of the crew. Jauncey therefore decided to solve the problem in his own way. When a deserter was brought back to the ship instead of passing him on for court-martial he had him secured to a stanchion in the mess-deck by a long chain enduring the taunts and insults of his messmates. As soon as the ship left harbour he was released. This unorthodox treatment which could have got him into severe trouble with the authorities was most effective and deserters ceased to present a problem.' (Account written by the recipient's son refers).Convoy P.Q.17Appointed to the command of H.M.S. Palomares (Anti-Aircraft ship), with the acting rank of Captain, 30.4.1941, Jauncey spent the next year based in the Irish Sea, escorting convoys between Belfast and Milford Haven, and providing anti-aircraft fire cover. In early June 1942 the Palomares sailed for Seydisfiord in Iceland and on the 27th June she was sailed from Hvalfiord, attached to a convoy of 34 merchant ships destined for Archangel. The Russian convoy routes, in contrast to the complete freedom of movement of the Atlantic routes, were restricted to the east and south by an enemy-occupied coastline and to the west and north by ice. The convoys themselves were subject to attack by surface forces over a large part of their 2,000-mile passage, to air attack for 1,400 miles, and to U-boat attack throughout their entire run. The severe Arctic weather added to their navigational difficulties during winter months, and they ran a greater risk of attack between March and September owing to the continuous daylight. The convoy escort consisted of 6 destroyers, 4 corvettes, 3 minesweepers, 4 trawlers, 2 anti-aircraft ships and 2 submarines. The convoy was first spotted by enemy aircraft and U-boats on the 1st July, and therefore was shadowed and attacked continuously. On the 4th July the Admiralty inexplicably ordered the convoy to scatter, the consequences of which were disastrous, leading ultimately to 23 of the 34 merchant ships which had left Iceland being sunk, with the loss in material amounting to 3350 vehicles, 430 tanks, and 210 aircraft. The Palomares reached the Matochkin Strait in Nova Zemlaya, some 500 miles NE of Archangel where she was joined by a number of other ships which had survived. After some days a small convoy with Jauncey as the senior officer of the escort sailed for Archangel. They came under heavy air attack and two more out of the five merchant ships in the convoy were sunk. By the time the Palomares reached Archangel she had virtually expended all her ammunition, as had all the other escorts, and four destroyers had to be sent out from the United Kingdom with ammunition for the escorts to make the return journey. Churchill called the episode 'one of the most melancholy naval episodes in the whole of the War.' The Palomares spent two months in Archangel and finally returned to Belfast in September 1942. For his 'bravery and resolution in the face of relentless attack by enemy aircraft and submarines', Jauncey was awarded the Distinguished Service Order.Operation 'Avalanche'In late October the Palomares sailed to the Mediterranean to take part in Operation 'Torch', the joint British/American landing in French North Africa, 7.11.1942. While stationed off the Tunisian coast she was hit astern by a bomb which caused a number of casualties, a fire which raged for several hours, and damage to her steering gear. She limped into Algiers where temporary repairs were effected which enabled her to return to Tilbury in early 1943 for permanent repairs. She returned to the Mediterranean in time for Operation 'Avalanche', the Allied landings at Salerno, south of Naples, 9.9.1943, where she provided anti-aircraft fire, and was heavily engaged with German aircraft during the landings. For his 'outstanding courage, resolution, leadership skill and devotion to duty' Jauncey was awarded a Second Award Bar to his Distinguished Service Order. He also received the thanks of the Commander of the United States Naval Forces, Admiral H.K. Hewitt, who wrote: 'Your outstanding performance of duty as Commanding Officer of H.M.S. Palomares during the amphibious invasion of Italy is worthy of the highest praise. Your command, which was assigned as a unit in the Attack Force to provide anti-aircraft protection for the flagship of the Task Force Commander and other ships of the Control Group, performed its task in a highly satisfactory and effective manner. You handled your ship expertly and directed heavy, accurate fire on all attacking enemy planes throughout the critical period of the assault operations. You contributed materially to the defense against continuing enemy air attack on shipping which was vital to the support of the invasion forces. I wish to express my appreciation of your dependable services and great assistance in bringing these operations to a successful conclusion.'The Palomares remained in the Mediterranean and took part in Operation 'Shingle', the landings at Anzio, 22.1.1944, where she was mined and once again severely damaged.In July 1944 Jauncey was appointed Captain at Greenock, a shore-based appointment which gave him command of the Clyde Escort Force which consisted of destroyers and other escort vessels escorting convoys from and to the Atlantic, and appointment he held for the rest of the War. On the conclusion of hostilities he served for a further 14 months, first as Naval Officer in Charge, Falmouth, and then as Captain of the battle cruiser H.M.S. Renown which was used as an accommodation ship at Plymouth, finally retiring with the rank of Captain, 8.10.1946.Sub-Lieutenant Charles Eliot, Baron Jauncey of Tullichettle, (1925-2007), was born in Edinburgh, the son of Captain J.H. Jauncey and Muriel Dundas, and was educated at Radley and Christ Church, Oxford. Commissioned Sub-Lieutenant, Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, 8.5.1945, he served during the Second World War in H.M.S. ML.879. Called to the Scottish Bar in 1949, he was employed as standing junior counsel to the Scottish Ministry of Works in Coronation Year 1953. Appointed a Queen's Counsel in 1963, he became a Senator of the College of Justice in Scotland in 1979, and a Lord of Appeal in Ordinary (Law Lord) in 1988. Lord Jauncey also served as a Member of the Queen's Bodyguard for Scotland from 1951, and as Kintyre Pursuivant of Arms for 16 years from 1955.For the medals awarded to Commander H.H.

Arthur Edwin Cronshaw, Manchester RegimentSebia, Order of the White Eagle, 4th Class London Gazette 15.2.1917 Captain (temporary Major) Arthur Edwin Cronshaw, Manchester Regiment'For distinguished services rendered during the course of the campaign.'Lieutenant-Colonel Arthur Edwin Cronshaw, D.S.O., T.D., (1874-1924) was educated at Manchester Grammar School. Commissioned Second Lieutenant, 1st Volunteer Battalion, Manchester Regiment, November 1896, he was promoted Lieutenant, July 1897, and served with the 2nd Battalion Manchester Regiment in South Africa, from March 1901 to May 1902, and was present at the operations in Cape Colony in April 1901, and in the Orange River Colony from May 1901 to May 1902; on his return to the U.K. he was promoted Captain, 7.1.1903.Mobilised with the 5th Battalion on the outbreak of the Great War, 4.8.1914, he was promoted temporary Major, 31.8.1914. Landing at Cape Helles, Gallipoli on 6.5.1915, he went on to attract the approbation of his Commanding Officer, Colonel Henry Darlington, as evidenced by the following extracts taken from the latter's Letters From Helles (London, 1936): '... Old Cronshaw got a bump on the head during our Straffe last night, but no damage done. I think it was a bit of a stone from the parapet as a machine-gun knocked our sandbags to pieces just where he and I were standing. He is a perfect marvel and doing most excellent work. I only hope the old Turk won't bag him. On 7 August he climbed out of our trench in the attempted attack on H.11.B. and was promptly blown in again by a shell. It did not seem to worry him at all and all he suffered from was a bit of stiffness. We pull his leg about it, as you can imagine' .'... Cronshaw, Lee and I got a rifle and rifle grenades and two of our men, and between us, none of us knowing in the least how to use the beastly things, loosed off some grenades. By sheer fluking, we got our second and third bombs right bang in the Turk trench, apparently clean in the lair of the sniper. We trust we blew him up, but at any rate the sniping there is not so confident as it was'.'... Ernest Fletcher is not well and is resting in his valise; Cronshaw is laid up and I am afraid he will have to go to hospital. There are only three now unlisted of the old originals (Officers), Self, Fletcher and Cronshaw, and I am afraid that there will be only two by this evening' [Darlington, too, was evacuated sick a few weeks later].Having miraculously survived the horrors of Gallipoli, Cronshaw was appointed to the command of the 1/7th Battalion, Manchesters, and joined his men in the Egyptian Theatre of War in June 1916. Taking up forward positions near Gilban on the eastern side of the Canal, he led the Battalion at the Battle of Romani on 4.8.1916, an action that resulted in the withdrawal of a German-led Turkish Army numbering some 18,000 men. Soon afterwards he was informed of the pending award of his Fourth Class Order of the Serbian Eagle, 'a long delayed recognition of his magnificent work in Gallipoli'. In early 1917, Cronshaw and the 1/7th set sail for France, having accompanied the pursuit of the Turks as far as El Arish on the Palestine border. Arriving at Marseilles on 10.3.1917, the Battalion was moved up to the Epehy Sector and, in June, to the Havrincourt Sector. But it was not until late September that Cronshaw and the 1/7th were really back in the thick of it, on this occasion at the Third Battle of Ypres, the action that almost certainly resulted in the award of his D.S.O. Suffering from the effects of gas, the stress of command and the tribulations of the unsuccessful programme to 'exchange' Battalion C.Os within frontline Regiments - in Cronshaw's case the 1/8th Worcestershire Regiment - he was evacuated home in January 1918. Not, perhaps, surprisingly, given the strain of constant active employ (and command) over a period safely in excess of two years, the 'Medics' quickly ruled that Colonel Cronshaw was 'only fit for home service', so ending a remarkable operational career.Subject to 20% VAT on Buyer’s Premium.
