Three: Flight Sub-Lieutenant G. Towers, Royal Naval Air Service, who died as a result of a flying accident, when he collided his Short 184 seaplane into a barge on landing at R.N.A.S. Calshot, 13 October 1917 1914-15 Star (Eng. S. Lt. G. Towers. R.N.R.); British War and Victory Medals (Flt. S. Lt. G. Towers. R.N.A.S.); Memorial Plaque (Grantham Towers) last in card envelope of issue, medals mounted on card for display, generally good very fine or better (4) £700-£900 --- Grantham Towers was born in Hanover Square, London in January 1891. He was the son Robert Mason Towers, a retired member of the Indian Civil Service who was born in Ireland. Towers resided with his parents in Folkestone, prior to them moving to Sturts Cottage, Graffham, Petworth Sussex. He then later resided at The Old Vicarage, Stapleford, Cambridgeshire. Initially commissioned into the Royal Naval Reserve, Towers transferred to the Royal Naval Air Service in November 1916. Training as a pilot, his postings included to Crystal Palace, Chingford and Calshot. It whilst operating as a seaplane pilot, flying a Short 184 reconnaissance torpedo aircraft, over the Channel from R.N.A.S. Calshot that Towers was involved in a crash that ultimately led to his death. The following was given in The Hampshire Telegraph, 9 November 1917: ‘An inquest was held yesterday afternoon into the circumstances attending the death of Flight Sub-Lieut. James Grantham Towers, R.N.A.S., who died on Wednesday. Deceased was admitted to hospital on October 13th, suffering from a compound fracture of the left femur, partial dislocation of the right hip joint, as the result of a fall from a seaplane. It was stated that he collided with a barge on landing. The evidence of Naval medical witnesses showed that although the fractures and other injuries progressed satisfactorily, the patient maintained a high temperature, and on a specimen of his blood being analysed it was found to contain the para-typhoid germ. He was immediately treated for such, but the patient got weaker and died on Wednesday, as stated. Death, in the opinion of the witnesses, was directly due to typhoid, and a verdict of death from natural causes was returned.’ Flight Sub-Lieutenant Towers death was classified as accidentally killed whilst flying on non-operational duties, and he died at Haslar, 7 November 1917, where he was also buried. Sold with 2 portrait photographs of recipient in uniform, and Admiralty enclosure for campaign awards addressed to recipient’s mother.

Naval General Service 1793-1840, 1 clasp, Trafalgar (William Martin Midshipman.) edge nicks, good very fine £8,000-£12,000 --- Importation Duty This lot is subject to importation duty of 5% on the hammer price unless exported outside the UK --- --- William Martin was born at Glanmire, County Cork, on 3 December 1783 and entered the Royal Navy on 15 October 1799, under the auspices of General Myers, as First Class Volunteer in H.M.S. Dryad, 36 guns, under Captain Charles John Moore Mansfield, with whom he served until transferred, in H.M.S. Hercule, 74 guns, under Captain Solomon Ferris, lying at Portsmouth. He assisted during that period, at the capture of privateer Le Premier Consul, 14 guns and 150 men, and of a Swedish frigate mounting 34 guns. Rejoining Captain Mansfield, in 1803, in H.M.S. Minotaur, 74 guns, he witnessed the surrender, on 28 May 1803, of the French frigate La Franchise, 36 guns, and was present as Midshipman in the same ship during the major fleet action off Cape Trafalgar between the British fleet under the command of Vice-Admiral Lord Nelson and the Franco-Spanish fleet under the command of Vice-Admiral P. C. de Villeneuve on 21 October 1805. Minotaur’s Captain, Charles Mansfield, famously pledged to his crew that he would stick to any ship engaged 'till either she strikes or sinks - or I sink.' At the climax of the battle, he deliberately placed Minotaur between the damaged Victory and an attacking French ship; he was later awarded a Patriotic Sword and Gold Medal for this gallant act. Martin was promoted Lieutenant in H.M.S. Saturn, 74 guns, under Captain Lord Amelius Beauclerk, in August 1806, and was employed in this ship for nearly 18 months in the Mediterranean. From there he proceeded to H.M.S. Lion, 64 guns, under Captain Henry Heathcote, on 18 January 1808, and when in command of the launch of that ship he succeeded, in the vicinity of Manilla, in defeating five large piratical boats, carrying between them 20 small guns and about 200 men, after a desperate action of two hours, in which greater part of his crew, only 20 in number, were wounded. He saw further service from 20 March 1810 in H.M.S. Magnet, stationed, for the protection of the trade, off Heligoland and the German rivers; from 13 December 1810 in H.M.S. Aboukir, employed in the blockade of Flushing; from 11 February 1812 in H.M.S. Calliope, lying at Chatham; from 16 April 1812 to H.M.S. Ardent, armée-en-flûte, in which ship, after conveying troops to Bermuda, he was nearly lost in an awful gale in the Bay of Biscay, during which his presence of mind and courage were most conspicuous, leading him aloft when no other could be found to attempt it; from 3 March 1813 in H.M.S. Albion, fitting for service on the coast of North America; from 29 January 1814, as First Lieutenant of H.M.S. Sceptre, in which ship he returned home in time to participate in the grand naval review held at Spithead; from 29 July 1818, in H.M.S. Creole, in which ship he proceeded to the River Plate, where his nautical skill in a great measure saved the ship from wreck; and from 8 January 1819 in H.M.S. Amphion, a leaky old vessel, whose hand-pumps were obliged to be kept going during the whole of her passage home. On 18 November 1819, six months after the Amphion had been paid off, Martin was given the command of the gun-brig H.M.S. Clinker. While in that vessel on the Newfoundland station he was in discharge, from October 1820 to April 1821, of the important duties of Surrogate at Harbour Grace, where his impartial administration of justice in more than 300 cases that came before him for adjudication, gave so much satisfaction, that on his departure he was presented with a most flattering address signed by all the principal inhabitants. In the following summer he was ordered by Sir Chas. Hamilton, Governor of Newfoundland, to explore the Grand Esquimaux Inlet, and then to proceed to the northward in order to find out and communicate with the different stations of the Morovian missionaries on the coast of Labrador. These instructions he carried into effect in a complete and most successful manner. His conduct on arriving among the missionaries, after encountering many dangers and hardships, was such as to endear him greatly to them, and to elicit the earnest thanks of the Church of the United Brethren in England. His advent took place during their jubilee-year; and the occasion was the first of their having been visited by a man-of-war. Promoted Commander on 19 July 1821, he returned home in May 1822, and transferred to the Half-Pay List. Promoted Captain on the Retired List, he died in 1866. Sold with two small portrait miniatures of the recipient, both housed in oval glazed frames; and a photograph of the recipient taken in alter life, showing him wearing his Naval General Service Medal, this mounted in a a heavy gilt glazed display frame.

Three: Lieutenant L. H. White, Royal Navy, who was severely wounded at the battle of Dogger Bank in January 1915 and then killed in the explosion that ripped through H.M.S. Natal in Cromarty harbour at the end of the same year 1914-15 Star (Lieut. L. H. White, R.N.); British War and Victory Medals (Lieut. L. H. White. R.N.) extremely fine (3) £400-£500 --- Importation Duty This lot is subject to importation duty of 5% on the hammer price unless exported outside the UK --- --- Leonard Hale White was born in Harley Street, London on 7 January 1890, the son of a physician. Educated at Bradfield College and thence as a Cadet in Britannia, he was appointed a Sub-Lieutenant in March 1909 and advanced to Lieutenant in June 1910. In the period leading up to the Great War he enjoyed a spate of seagoing appointments, among them H.M.S. Balmoral Castle at the time of the Duke of Connaught’s visit to South Africa. He was however serving in his first command, the torpedo boat H.M.S. Panther, on the outbreak of hostilities. In September 1914, White removed to the battle cruiser Tiger and he was consequently present at the battle of Dogger Bank on 24 January 1915, when her eight 13.5-inch guns did great execution, not least in a protracted duel with the Moltke and the Seydlitz. However, the Tiger, in common with Beatty’s flagship the Lion, did not escape unscathed, as evidenced by her Captain’s description of the time when she received her third hit from a large calibre shell: ‘Tiger steered in the direction of the fleeing enemy and then, at this very critical moment, when quick decision had to be made, when the great speed of the Germans meant that every second brought them nearer to safety, there occurred a very large explosion which rattled us all in the conning-tower very considerably. It appeared that a shell had entered the Intelligence Office, which was immediately below the conning-tower, and having exploded there, blew up through the gun control tower, rendering everybody in it hors de combat and killing Engineer Captain Taylor and six men, and wounding three officers and six men.’ Among them was White, who was severely wounded. On recovering from his wounds, he was appointed a Gunnery Lieutenant in the cruiser Natal and he was similarly employed when she was torn apart by a massive internal explosion while lying at Cromarty harbour on 30 December 1915. He is commemorated by name on the Chatham Naval Memorial. During the Great War the Royal Navy lost four ships to internal explosions whilst lying in harbour, the other three being H.M.S. Bulwark, H.M.S. Princess Irene and H.M.S. Vanguard. At the time there was much speculation that these losses were due to sabotage by enemy agents. However, the more likely explanation is that they were the result of deterioration in the stocks of high explosives carried on board. Sold with a quantity of original documentation, including handwritten letters of condolence from the Queen’s secretary at Buckingham Palace, dated 5 January 1916, and from Admiral Beatty, dated 3 January 1916; a portrait photograph of the recipient; H.M.S. King Edward VII Christmas card and picture post cards of two other ships in which he served, together with embroidered cap tallies for ‘H.M.S. Prince of Wales’ and ‘H.M.S. Venerable’.

A Second War ‘Battle of Alamein’ M.C. group of four attributed to Lieutenant A. T.

London Gazette 5 November 1942: ‘In recognition of gallant and distinguished services in the Middle East.’ The original Recommendation, for an Immediate M.C., states: ‘During the Battle of Alamein, at about 0900 hrs on 4 September 1942, Second Lieutenant Almond’s troop was ordered forward on to an exposed position subject to a lot of enemy artillery fire. Second Lieutenant Almond’s tank receives a direct hit from a large calibre gun. The tank, which was moving at about 10 m.p.h., caught fire and ammunition exploded. Second Lieutenant Almond and his gunner climbed out on to the turret of the tank but did not leave the rank until they had extricated the driver. Second Lieutenant Almond, although ordered to evacuate his crew, returned on another tank and managed to put out the fire sufficiently to get into the driver’s seat. He then started the engine and, although burnt himself, managed to tow out another tank which had been hit. He then drove his tank back, collected his crew, and returned into action after getting the tank into fighting trim. In spite of his burns and a temporarily blinded eye, he remained in action for another 10 hors under almost continuous shell fire. The determination, bravery, and coolness under fire which this officer showed proved a fine example to the remainder of his troop and the fact that they remained in their position materially assisted the success of the action on this front.’ Arthur Thomas Almond was commissioned Second Lieutenant in the Royal Rank Regiment from 102nd O.C.T.U. on 28 December 1940, and served with the 46th (The Liverpool Welsh) Battalion during the Second World War in North Africa, using Valentine tanks. Awarded the Military Cross for his gallantry during the Battle of Alamein, he was killed in action on 28 October 1942, on which date the Battalion was in support of the 26th Australian Brigade. ‘Valentine in North Africa’ gives the following account: ‘El Alamein, 46th RTR by now were also working with the Australians, and during the main Australian thrust on the night of October 28/29 were to attack with 2/23rd Battalion and secure the road. Unfortunately, things began to go wrong from the start. The final briefing was held very late, and Colonel Clarke returned without sufficient time to give his Squadron Leaders anything more than the barest details. The attack was to get under way almost immediately, and would be delivered from a start-line which had been chosen from the map, and which had not been reconnoitred. Some of the infantry would ride on the tanks, and others in carriers. The start-line was in fact, in the middle of a minefield, and on the way to it the regiments were subjected to heavy fire which caused the infantry to drop off. Several tanks missed the minefield gaps and became casualties. The situation became extremely confused, and the enemy fire rose to a crescendo. In the light of three or four burning Valentines the anti-tank gunners were able to pick off their victims from three sides at ranges up to 1,000 yards. The attack broke down into un-coordinated assaults which took a heavy toll of both tanks and infantry. Colonel Clarke and his Intelligence Officer were badly wounded by a mortar shell, and the Regiment was taken over by Major Offord. After a night of savage fighting, Colonel Evans of 2/23rd finally ordered his battalion to dig in at 04.00, 1,000 yards in advance of the original start line, The 2/23rd had lost 29 killed, 172 wounded and 6 missing. The 46th RTR had lost all but eight of their tanks and had a high percentage of their crews killed or wounded, including all the Squadron Commanders. The casualties sustained by the 46th and 2/23rd Battalion had not been in vain. After the battle, Rommel recorded that the British tanks and infantry had succeeded in blowing a gap in his line, cutting off the 2nd Bn 125 Panzer Grenadier Regiment and a Battalion of XIth Bansagliari, who remained in Thompson’s Post, almost surrounded by their assailants, resisting all attempts to dislodge them with a ferocious determination. In addition, the 125th Regiment’s 3rd Battalion had virtually ceased to exist by next morning, the battle having raged with tremendous fury for six hours.’ Almond is buried in El Alamein War Cemetery, Egypt. Sold with a fine portrait photograph of the recipient; rank pips; Royal Tank Regiment cap badge; a miniature M.C., a leather bound Bible, the inside inscribed ‘A. T. Almond, R.T.R.’; and a copy of ‘The White Company’, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, with Bishop’s Stortford College Prize label affixed on the inside front cover, inscribed ‘Summer Term 1927, Form IA.
