Lt Col commanding the 47th 1857. 1868 commanding a division of the 38th Foot in the Bengal Army. He became the commander of British troops in Canada in 1873, Promoted to Colonel of the 47th regiment from 1875 until his death in 1878. Louis William Desanges painted the heroic action in which Haly was rescued by Private McDermond. The Duke of Lancaster’s Own Regimental museum gives the following details about Private McDermond, “John McDermond was probably born in Clackmannan in 1828. He was attested into the 47th (The Lancashire) Regiment in Glasgow in October 1846. He won the first VC to be awarded to a member of the 47th Regiment at the Battle of Inkerman during the Crimean War. The Commanding Officer of the 47th, Lieutenant Colonel O’Grady Haly, led a charge against an attacking Russian column. After cutting down three, he was himself unhorsed, bayonetted in the leg, and surrounded by the enemy. Seeing his plight, several soldiers rushed to his aid and McDermond, standing over his Colonel , killed the man who had wounded him and fought off the Russians while Haly was helped back to the British line. John McDermond’s award of  the Victoria Cross was posted in the London Gazette on 24 February 1857. He was presented with his medal by Major General Sir James Scarlett on the parade ground at Southsea, Hampshire, on 12 March 1858. McDermond served with the 47th for just under 16 years, seeing overseas service in the Ionian Islands, Malta, Turkey, Gibraltar and Canada. He was invalided out of the Army in 1862, aged 34, after being injured on board ship while in transit to Canada. John McDermond appears to have had a difficult life after leaving the army. He died in  Glasgow, of Typhus, just four years later, in 1866, leaving destitute a wife and two very young children, the youngest of whom was born just weeks before his death. He is buried in an unmarked grave in the Eastern Necropolis, Glasgow. The location of his Victoria Cross is not known. However, in December 2015, a metal detectorist unearthed what appears to be a Victoria Cross medal from the mud of the Thames foreshore in London. It bears the date of the Battle of Inkerman – 5 November 1854. Only two Inkerman VC’s are unaccounted for. If genuine, there is therefore a 50% possibility that this medal is John McDermond’s. The Thames VC is currently held in the National Army Museum in London.

Victory Medal 1914-19 (Asst. Constr. A. G. W. Stantan. R.C.N.C.) good very fine, scarce to unit £60-£80 --- Arthur George Wilkinson Stantan was born on 29 December 1887 and served during the Great War as an Assistant Constructor with the Royal Corps of Naval Constructors. Based initially at the Drawing Office at the Devonport Yard, he accompanied four ‘C’ Class Submarines to Russia in 1916 (an arduous and adventurous task that involved sailing the submarines to Archangel, and then towing them on wooden barges along the Dwina and Suchana Rivers to the Gulf of Finland), and from 1917 was involved in aircraft construction at the Malta Yard. During the inter-War years he had further spells at the Devonport Yard, where he was involved in the conversion of H.M.S. Glorious to an aircraft carrier; and at the Admiralty, where he served as Secretary of Supply Committee III and with the Sloop Section, designing H.M.S. Egret and H.M.S. Black Swan. In 1938 Stantan became Warship Production Superintendent for the Scottish Area, and was promoted Senior Constructor the same year being recalled to the Admiralty and placed in charge of the design of the aircraft carrier H.M.S. Unicorn. Advancement to Chief Constructor rapidly followed, and he served during the Second World War in Canada with the Admiralty Technical Mission as Constructor Captain at the Ottawa HQ. In his long career, Stantan spent nearly 20 years in uniform which, it is believed, is a record for the Royal Corps. He died on 13 January 1961; surprisingly, given the long service he rendered to the Admiralty over many years, he was not given any honour or award. Sold with a copy of ‘The Journal of the Royal Corps of Naval Constructors Association’, January 1949, which includes a biography of the recipient, and a portrait photograph of him.
