A Second War ‘Immediate’ D.F.M. group of five awarded to Lancaster Rear-Gunner Flight Sergeant F. D. Glynn, Royal Air Force, who flew with No. 622 Squadron from R.A.F. Mildenhall in Suffolk, and is credited with the destruction of at least one enemy night fighter and probably a second Distinguished Flying Medal, G.VI.R. (1890450. F/Sgt. F. D. Glynn. R.A.F.); 1939-45 Star; Air Crew Europe Star; Defence and War Medals 1939-45, nearly extremely fine (5) £1,400-£1,800 --- D.F.M. London Gazette 15 September 1944. The original recommendation for an Immediate award (a redacted version of which was published in the gazette) states: ‘Flight Sergeant Douglas Frank Glynn, Official No. 1890450, No. 622 Squadron, Rear Gunner. [Note initials on medal] This N.C.O. has completed 28 sorties against the enemy, which include attacks on many targets in Germany. Throughout, he has shown enthusiasm and keenness to engage the enemy, and has been responsible for destroying at least one enemy night fighter. On the 5th of July, after bombing a target in occupied territory, his aircraft was attacked by a JU.88. He returned the fire of the enemy, and after a fight lasting for five minutes, during which time he kept a running commentary to his pilot, he succeeded in setting fire to the port engine of the JU.88, which broke off the engagement and was probably destroyed. Immediately after this combat, his aircraft was again attacked by an ME.110. Flight Sergeant Glynn by this time had only one gun working, but his return fire was so accurate that he hit the port engine of the ME.110 and set it on fire. This aircraft is claimed as probably destroyed. The accurate shooting of Flight Sergeant Glynn and his quick appreciation of the enemy’s intentions, saved his aircraft which was not hit throughout the engagement. His courage and devotion to duty in the face of the enemy have been of the highest order.’ Sold with some research including copied recommendation and extract from Squadron O.R.B. for Glynn’s aircraft on the night of 5 July which states: ‘Bombed Red T.I. at 00.26 from 8,000 ft., Black smoke seen over markers. JU.88 and ME probably destroyed.’

Fevyer Collection, Dix Noonan Webb, September 2008. 27 Silver and 10 Bronze Sea Gallantry Medals were awarded to the British Army 1857 to 1923, 19 of which were for this action. Lee Crossley was born in Rochdale, Lancashire, in 1894 and attested for the Highland Light Infantry. He served with the 11th Battalion during the Great War on the Western Front from 13 May 1915, and later transferred to the 1st Battalion. He was awarded the Sea Gallantry Medal in Silver for his gallantry aboard H.M. Transport Caronia which caught fire in May 1917 whilst at sea, the original Recommendation stating: ‘In May 1917 while HM Transport Caronia was at sea, a series of fires occurred in her bunkers. The crew endeavoured for over five days to extinguish the fire, the Master was obliged to ask for the assistance of the troops on board and a number of them volunteered to go into the bunkers, where they rendered valuable assistance in extinguishing the outbreak. The service on non-commissioned officers and men are reported as deserving of special recognition. Very considerable risk was incurred in rendering the services. Frequent explosions occurred and a number of men were seriously injured.’ The Ship’s Log, gives further details, and records that the first fire was reported on 20 May, and it took 11 days before they were all extinguished: ‘On 20th May 1917 at 0300 whilst sailing from Durban to Tunghi Bay No 2 Coal Bunker was discovered to be on fire, every effort was made to extinguish the flames. On 24th May at 2100 No 3 port Coal Bunker discovered to be on fire, steps taken immediately to extinguish the fire. On 25th May at 1430, Robert Jones Leading Fireman, Henry Foulkes and Henry Gilfoyle Trimmers received extensive burns as a result of an explosion in bunkers, treated in Ship’s Hospital, at 1900 William Clarke, Boilermaker was gassed the result of an explosion in Coal Bunker and treated in Ship’s Hospital. At 0630 on 26th May George Pattison, 4th Engineer was gassed, the result of an explosion in a Coal Bunker and treated in Ship’s Hospital, at 1300 two further crew members were admitted to the Ship’s Hospital one with injuries, one gassed, at 1400 and 1500 two crewmen were gassed from an explosion. On 27th May at 1000 William Penny 4th Engineer was gassed the result of an explosion, at 1030 two more crew were gassed in an explosion, at 1930 a Trimmer was injured by an explosion. At 1500 on 28th May two crewmen were transferred to another ship for onward passage to hospital at Durban. On 31st May at 1900 the Chief Engineer reported all fires now extinguished.’ Advanced Sergeant, Crossley went on to serve in India and took part in the Third Afghan War attached to the 2nd/6th Battalion, Royal Sussex Regiment, one of 41 N.C.O.s and men of the Highland Light Infantry to receive this Medal. Discharged to the Reserve on 26 November 1919, he was presented with his Sea Gallantry Medal by H.M. King George V on 11 December 1919. Sold with copied research.

Class.); Arctic Medal 1818-55, unnamed as issued, very fine (2) £1,500-£2,000 --- Provenance: Buckland Dix & Wood, July 1993 (South Africa Medal only). William F. Thomlinson (also recorded as Tomlinson) was born in Stoke Damerel, Devon, on 11 October 1813, and joined the Royal Navy as a Carpenter’s Mate on 19 January 1838, serving in H.M.S. Racehourse, before transferring to H.M.S. Hecla as a Caulker on 28 November 1843. He joined H.M.S. Investigator on 16 April 1848, and served in her during the Franklin search Expedition of 1848-49. The Investigator sailed in May 1848 to the Arctic in search of John Franklin under the command of Captain Edward Bird. She was accompanied by the Enterprise under Sir James Clark Ross. The ships wintered at Port Leopold. A sledging party departed in the spring for Fury Beach. Ross also went west to Cape Bunny before heading south coming within 50 miles of Cape Bird, had they but known that this was where they should have been searching. The ships were cut free of the ice in August and proceeded down Barrow Strait before getting beset by ice but drifted into Baffin Bay reaching home in November 1849. Thomlinson subsequently served in H.M.S. Castor from 1 March 1851 and took part in the Third Kaffir War. Advanced Carpenter First Class on 15 January 1862, he was shore pensioned on 8 July 1869, and died in Hooe, Devon, on 13 January 1874.

Four: Acting Corporal G. W. Lockhart, South African Air Force, Union Defence Force 1939-45 Star; Italy Star; War Medal 1939-45; Africa Service Medal, all officially impressed ‘97756 G. W. Lockhart.’, very fine (4) £60-£80 --- Gordon William Lockhart was born at Port Elizabeth on 12 January 1896 and attested for the South African Air Force on 2 July 1940. He served during the Second World War as a Carpenter and Fitter, and was promoted Acting Corporal on 1 July 1942, serving with 25 Squadron. He was discharged on 26 February 1946. Sold with copied record of service.

Three: Able Seaman E. Lightfoot, H.M.S. Agincourt, Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve 1914-15 Star (T.3-154, F. Lightfoot. A.B., R.N.V.R.); British War and Victory Medals (T.3-154 E. Lightfoot. A.B. R.N.V.R.) nearly extremely fine (3) £80-£100 --- Provenance: Dix Noonan Webb, September 2010. The dreadnought battleship H.M.S. Agincourt, originally order by the Brazilian Navy as the Rio de Janeiro, was launched on 22 January 1913 and was part of the 1st Battle Squadron at the Battle of Jutland, where she successfully evaded two torpedoes and engaged several German ships during the battle, firing a total of 144 twelve-inch shells and 111 six-inch shells. Frederick Lightfoot was born on 1 April 1893 and joined the Tyneside Division of the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve on 28 March 1912. He served throughout the Great War in H.M.S. Agincourt, and was promoted Able Seaman on 11 April 1915. At Jutland, Agincourt had several lucky escapes from enemy torpedoes, as described in The Fighting at Jutland: ‘As far as Agincourt was concerned, our excitement started at 7.08 p.m., when with a sharp turn of the ship a torpedo passed just under our stern, and later on another broke surface about 150 yards short on our starboard beam. At 7.35 p.m. the tracks of two more torpedoes were reported approaching on the starboard side, but by good co-operation between the fore-top and the conning tower they were both avoided. Aloft the tracks were clearly visible, and acting on the reports from there the ship was gradually turned away, so that by perfect timing one torpedo passed up the port side and one the starboard side; after which we resumed our place in the line. A fifth torpedo was successfully dodged by zigzagging at 7.47 p.m.’ Lightfoot was shore demobilised on 24 February 1919. Sold with copied record of service.

Seven: Petty Officer Cook A. Jones, H.M.S. Calliope, Royal Navy 1914-15 Star (M.10990, A. Jones, Ck. Mte., R.N.); British War and Victory Medals (M.10990 A. Jones. Ck. Mte. R.N.); 1939-45 Star; Defence and War Medals 1939-45; Royal Navy L.S. & G.C., G.V.R., 2nd issue, fixed suspension (M.10990 A. Jones. P.O. Ck. H.M.S. Royal Sovereign.) minor official correction to ship on last, generally nearly very fine and better (7) £160-£200 --- The light cruiser H.M.S. Calliope was launched on 17 December 1914 and was part of the 4th Light Cruiser Squadron at the Battle of Jutland, where she received a number of hits before nightfall, and ten of her crew were killed. Arthur Jones was born at Pontypridd, Glamorganshire, on 9 July 1892 and joined the Royal Navy as a Probationary 2nd Cook’s Mate on 1 December 1914. He served during the Great War in H.M.S. Calliope from 13 November 1915 to the end of the War, and was advanced Cook’s Mate on 1 December 1915. Under the direct command of Commodore Le Mesurier, the Calliope acted as the flagship of the 4th Light Cruiser Squadron at Jutland and was heavily engaged throughout the battle. But it was not until the evening that she started to take her first casualties, the result of a duel with two Kaiser class battleships. The Fighting at Jutland takes up the story: ‘ ... only our speed and zigzagging saved us from annihilation. As it was, we seemed to be in the middle of splashes, and the noise of the bursting shell and flying fragments was absolutely deafening. We were hit five times in all, three of which did serious damage to personnel. One shell, bursting against the breech of the port after 4-inch gun, smashed the fittings and gun shield and killed practically all the gun’s crew, the notable exception being the sight-setter, a Corporal of Marines, who had the gun between him and the burst and only suffered a slight scalp wound. The second hit on us burst near No. 3 4-inch gun under the bridge, disabled the gun, killing and wounding some of the crew, and fragments of this shell penetrated the deck of the lower bridge and wounded a signalman and a bugler. The third shell penetrated the upper deck, and burst in the boys’ mess deck, almost in the middle of the after dressing station, killing some and wounding many others, including the Staff Surgeon. For the last five minutes that we were under fire we were in sight of our own ships, although the two battle fleets were invisible to each other, and we were told afterwards that at times we were hidden in spray from the splashes. Altogether, we had 10 killed and 23 wounded, some seriously. We were ordered to take station on the port beam of the battle fleet for the night, and in the morning resumed our cruising station ahead during the search for disabled enemy ships. On reaching Scapa afterwards, we were ordered in first, instead of waiting for the battle fleet to enter, to land our wounded. Our dead we buried at sea the morning after the action, the Commodore leaving the bridge for a few minutes to read the burial service, the one time he was ever known to leave the bridge at sea.’ Jones was advanced Leading Cook on 1 February 1921, and joined H.M.S. Royal Sovereign on 17 April 1928. Sold with copied record of service.

Three: Chief Petty Officer W. H. Down, H.M.S. New Zealand, Royal Navy 1914-15 Star (310409. W. H. Down. S.P.O. R.N.); British War and Victory Medals (310409. W. H. Down. C.P.O. R.N.) very fine (3) £140-£180 --- The battlecruiser H.M.S. New Zealand was launched on 15 December 1913 and was was flagship of the 2nd Battlecruiser Squadron at the Battle of Jutland, where she fired a total of 420 shells from her main guns during the battle, more than any other ship on either side. William Henry Down was born at Plympton, Devon, on 28 April 1888, and joined the Royal Navy as a Stoker 2nd Class on 29 June 1906. He joined the newly commissioned battlecruiser New Zealand on 19 November 1912, as a Leading Stoker. As such he was aboard the ship when she went on tour to the Dominions in 1913, including a visit to her namesake during 12 April-25 June 1913. Whilst there the ship was estimated to have been visited by almost half the population of New Zealand - most pertinent of whom was a Maori chieftain who presented the captain with a Maori piupiu (a warrior’s skirt) and a greenstone tiki (pendant) which were intended to ward off evil, with the injunction that they were always to be worn by the captain when the ship was in action. Their efficacy was to be proved as the ship saw action at the battles of Heligoland Bight 1914, Dogger Bank 1915 and Jutland 1916. At Dogger Bank, command of the British squadrons fell to Rear-Admiral Moore of the New Zealand when Beatty’s Lion was badly damaged by three 12-inch shells from the Derfflinger, and as a consequence she was directly engaged in the three hour duel that resulted in the loss of the Blucher. At Jutland, the crew of the New Zealand had the misfortune to witness the loss of the Indefatigable and the Queen Mary, passing the latter battle cruiser on the port beam at just 100 yards distance when she blew up. An officer stationed in New Zealand’s gun-control position later wrote: ‘At about 4.35 the stern of a ship projecting about 70 feet out of the water, with the propellers revolving slowly, drifted into the field of my glasses; clouds of white paper were blowing out of the after-hatch, and on her stern I read “Queen Mary”. She passed us about 100 yards on our port beam, and a moment later there was a blinding flash, a dull heavy roar, which ceased as suddenly as it began, followed by a few seconds silence, and then the patter of falling debris. All that was left of the “Queen Mary” was a great mushroom-shaped cloud of smoke about 600 to 800 feet high, which temporarily obscured our view of the enemy, but a few seconds later we drew clear.’ In spite of such harrowing scenes, the New Zealand’s crew continued to engage the enemy with numerous well-aimed salvoes, the whole under the direction of Admiral Pakenham and Captain John Green. The crew were doubtless relieved to know that the latter was wearing the piupiu and tiki as instructed. As mascots went, they did the trick, with just one enemy shell hitting the New Zealand on her after turret causing no casualties. Down continued in New Zealand until November 1920, and was invalided out of the Navy at Portsmouth in May 1924. Sold with copied record of service and his original ‘Special Souvenir Pass’ issued by the Auckland Electric Tramways Company for use by the officers and crew of H.M.S. New Zealand during the visit to Auckland, April-May 1913. Sold with an enamelled H.M.S. New Zealand lapel badge; and copied record of service.

R.N.) contact marks, very fine (4) £160-£200 --- The dreadnought battleship H.M.S. Revenge was launched on 29 May 1915 and was part of the 1st Battle Squadron at the Battle of Jutland, where she fired a total of 102 fifteen-inch shells, and 87 six-inch shells. Francis William Cottrell was born in Swindon in June 1894. He enlisted into the Royal Navy in May 1910 and was assigned to the school ship H.M.S. Impregnable as a Boy Second Class (Bugler). He joined the cruiser H.M.S. Fox in January 1914 and was involved in the Persian Gulf operations. In August, whilst off Colombo, Ceylon, Fox captured two German merchant ships, the Australia and the Holtenfels. Between 3 and 4 November 1914, H.M.S. Fox supported the unsuccessful attack on the port of Tanga in German East Africa and then participated in the hunt for the German cruiser S.M.S. Königsberg. She was also involved in the raid on Dar-es-Salaam where she bombarded the city. Cottrell was later posted to the super-dreadnought battleship H.M.S. Revenge and was present at the Battle of Jutland. He continued to serve in the navy until June 1924.

The scarce Shipwrecked Fishermen and Mariners Royal Benevolent Society Medal in gold awarded to Captain Edward Salmund, Merchant Navy Shipwrecked Fishermen and Mariners Royal Benevolent Society, 1st type, gold (Edward Salmund Esq, 1855) straight bar suspension, slight edge bruising, good very fine, scarce £2,400-£2,800 --- Provenance: Dawson Collection; ref. Spink Exhibition 1985, No. 89; Fevyer Collection, Dix Noonan Webb, September 2008. The hired transport Charlotte had left Queenstown, bound for Calcutta, carrying five officers and 163 men of the 27th Regiment; 14 women; 26 children and a crew of 24. On 19 September 1854 she put in to Port Elizabeth, South Africa, for water. At 5 p.m. on the following day she parted both her anchors in Algoa Bay, and in an attempt to beat out, ran ashore on a dangerous reef of rocks nearby. The Society’s report records: ‘Eventually, and after every attempt to re-establish a communication with the Charlotte had failed, it was resolved to strive to reach her with the Life Boat, for which purpose she had to be launched some distance higher up the bay, and then to pull down between heavy rollers or breakers, until opposite the stranded ship, and in the narrow channel between the vessel and the rocks. The seamen generally refused to embark on so dangerous an enterprise, until Capt. Edward Henry Salmond, formerly a master mariner, and now a merchant at the bay, and three others guaranteed them the sum of £100. At length when the crew was obtained, another difficulty arose, the steersman, a man of courage and decision, refused to go off without Capt. Salmond accompanied them, and the latter gentlemen, not to mar so noble a design, immediately consented. It would be difficult to describe the intense anxiety which ensued, when the Life Boat, in the depth of night, manned by its daring crew, shot out amidst the breakers... and after threading the dangerous path amidst the rollers, pulled alongside the Charlotte. No effort having been made to prepare a line on the fore-part of the ship, the Life Boat was compelled, after pulling three times alongside, to drift to the stern of the ship where a line was being prepared by the Captain. In this last desperate attempt the boat filled, and was driven into the breakers, dashed on the reef of rocks and finally stove, the crew, including Captain Salmond being washed overboard, and narrowly escaped with their lives, in spite of assistance rendered by people who lined the shore. For the next hour or two, faint hopes were entertained that the ship might hold together until daylight and the fall of the tide. Meanwhile, the surf at the approach of high water increased in violence, and symptoms of breaking up became more painfully evident, while the groans and shouts for that help which it was impossible to render, were doubled in intensity... At about 2 a.m. one heavy sea swept over her and rent her in twain... Then arose the death shriek - the cry of agony - the wailing moan, high above the roar of the elements, which were heard distinctly... appalling sounds, which will ring in the ears of many an inhabitant of Port Elizabeth for years to come. Here and there a solitary individual, who had strength enough remaining to struggle against the current, was rescued from the jaws of death. Shortly after this occurance, the stern portion of the wreck was observed to be adrift, and nearing the shore... it was discovered that the poop deck was providentially crowded with people. This portion of the wreck being detached from the bottom and consequently drawing little water, came close in, and by means of spars, the survivors were enabled to step upon the rocks. The doors of several houses near the spot were generously thrown open to receive the numbed and shivering creatures, many of whom were without covering... ‘Captain Warren and Dr Kidd, the only officers on board... one hundred soldiers, five women, the Captain and his son, the first Officers, Steward, Cook, Butcher and two seamen, are all that have been saved out of 233 souls. All the children perished -[together with] eleven women and 63 soldiers. Many instances of personal daring and devotion may be cited... Capt. Salmond’s great coolness and courage on the present occasion, was but one of a long series of gallant efforts in which he has freely risked his life to save those of others. The Committee of the Shipwrecked Mariners’ Society unanimously voted Capt Samond their gold medal, as an expression of the high sense they entertained of his heroic and philanthropic exertions... The Committee likewise fully appreciated the conduct of the Life Boat’s crew, whose gallant services were however remunerated in the sum of £100.’ The above was one of 40 gold medals awarded by the Society.
