A rare Great War ‘Q-ship operations’ D.S.C. group of four awarded to Lieutenant F. G. J. Manning, Royal Naval Reserve, who was decorated for his gallantry in Acton’s successful action against the UC-72 off the French coast in August 1917 - ‘the submarine was so close that at one time it actually collided with the ship, shaking Acton fore and aft’: he had earlier been Mentioned in Despatches for leading the storming party that captured one of the Konigsberg’s landed guns at Bagamoyo in August 1916 Distinguished Service Cross, G.V.R., hallmarks for London 1917, unnamed as issued; 1914-15 Star (S. Lt. F. G. J. Manning, R.N.R.); British War and Victory Medals, with M.I.D. oak leaves (Lieut. F. G. J. Manning) good very fine (4) £2,400-£2,800 --- Provenance: R. C. Witte Collection, Dix Noonan Webb, December 2012. D.S.C. London Gazette 22 February 1918: ‘For services in action with enemy submarines.’ Francis Graham John Manning was born at Holyhead, Anglesey, in September 1892, and was appointed a Sub Lieutenant in the Royal Naval Reserve in August 1915. Having joined the battleship H.M.S. Vengeance, he was embarked for East Africa that December. East Africa - Mentioned in Despatches Shortly thereafter, having arrived on the East Africa Station, Manning was transferred to the cruiser Talbot, as a consequence of which, he found himself navigating one of her steam pinnace’s in the landings at Simba Urange on 5 May 1916, when he disembarked a party of Royal Marines and Askaris who occupied a gun emplacement that had once housed one of the Konigsberg’s 4.1-inch guns. And it was in a similar operation against enemy positions at Bagamoyo on 15 August 1916 that he was Mentioned in Despatches (London Gazette 15 June 1917). On this occasion, however, he came ashore in charge of a machine-gun section with orders to storm another Konigsberg land-mounted gun emplacement, in which task, described by Admiral Charlton as ‘a most remarkable piece of work’, he succeeded. The operation is summarised thus in Conrad Cato’s The Navy Everywhere: ‘As soon as our men landed, Sub. Lieutenant Manning was sent in charge of a machine-gun section to rush the hill and capture the 4.1. This he did very skilfully, taking cover as soon as he reached the top of the rise, and peppering the Germans relentlessly, until they abandoned their gun and took to their heels. In addition to the gun, over 80 rounds of ammunition were found in the magazine near by, and a few days later both gun and ammunition were shipped to Zanzibar, where they were on view to admiring crowds of natives.’ In fact, in due course, the gun found its way home and was exhibited in the Mall near the north door of the Admiralty. ‘Q’-Ships - D.S.C. As verified by contemporary Navy Lists, Manning was transferred to ‘special service’ in the summer of 1917, when he joined the Q-ship Acton [a.k.a. Q-34] under Lieutenant-Commander C. N. Rolfe, D.S.O., R.N., and it was in the same capacity that he won his D.S.C. for the destruction of the UC-72 off the French coast on 20 August 1917. Rolfe’s subsequent report states: ‘I have the honour to report on an action which took place between H.M.S. Acton and a submarine yesterday, 20 August 1917. Acton was steaming at S.42 W. at 10 knots, in position 46 00 N. 8 48 W., when at 6.25 p.m. a submarine was sighted on the port quarter. Acton maintained approximately the same course and reduced speed to eight knots, orders being at the same time given to make more smoke and to avoid blowing off steam. The submarine commenced firing at 6.25 p.m. and continued at ranges varying from 8,300 to 6,000 yards until 8.00 p.m. During this time between 50 and 60 rounds were fired, eight of which were time-fused. The submarine ceased fire as boats were lowered. At 8 p.m. the ship was stopped, and “panic abandon ship stations” were carried out; smoke boxes were fired in the well deck and steam leakage turned on. At about this time the submarine submerged and carried out a close periscope inspection of the ship which lasted until 8.35 p.m.: the submarine was so close that at one time it actually collided with the ship, shaking Acton fore and aft. It then came to the surface about 1000 yards away and hailed the boats to come alongside; but as it was getting dark, the submarine was not seen through the spy-holes on the bridge. The next seen of the submarine, it was circling close round the ship on the surface, and at a range of between 200 and 300 yards, fire was opened on him just before the port beam. Six rounds were fired, at least four of which hit the submarine, the certain hits being two abaft and below the conning tower and two on the conning tower. Loud shouts came up from the submarine when Acton opened fire. The submarine then submerged stern first and most of her conning tower was shot away. The telegraph was put to full ahead, when the open fire bell was pushed and an attempt was made to ram the submarine as she submerged, a depth charge being dropped when over the spot where she submerged at 9.10 p.m. This exploded 10 to 15 seconds after being let go and sent up a column of black or dark brown water 25 to 30 feet high. It was now very dark, so the boats were found and hoisted. The foremost fall of the port life boat had been shot away and caused a little delay in hoisting. When the boats were clear of the water, Acton commenced steering in a square, in the hope of finding wreckage on which to drop another depth charge or for picking up survivors; but unfortunately at about 10.20 p.m. a light, then considered suspicious, but since only believed to be the reflection of a star, was seen and followed up. Nothing further was seen of the submarine, and I consider it was sunk; but the darkness prevented small objects being seen on the water: though after the depth charge had exploded the only man who was looking over the side aft said that the water had the appearance it would have “after the ship had been throwing overboard ashes”. The depth charge used seems to have gone into the submarine’s swirl. The weather was fine and the sea calm.’ Manning was awarded the D.S.C. and received a £40 share of the Admiralty’s resultant prize money. In March 1918, he removed to the Silene, a convoy sloop, but a sloop with a difference - in common with her consorts she had been designed to have the appearance of a merchantman, while her armament of two 4-inch guns, a 12-pounder and depth-charge throwers were all concealed, though whether she had any encounters of the U-boat kind remains unknown - certainly she landed three cases for hospital treatment at Buncrana in early October. He was demobilised in June 1919. Sold with copied research.

Lot 243

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.

A Great War ‘Persian Gulf’ D.S.M. awarded to Petty Officer H. A. V. Puckhaber, H.M.S. Juno, later killed in action while serving in H.M. Submarine E-22 Distinguished Service Medal, G.V.R. (233222. H. A. V. Puckhaber, P.O., H.M.S. Juno.) polished, otherwise nearly very fine £700-£900 --- Importation Duty This lot is subject to importation duty of 5% on the hammer price unless exported outside the UK --- --- D.S.M. London Gazette 19 November 1915. The recommendation states: ‘H.M.S. Juno. Dilwar, 15 August 1915. For conspicuous bravery during the action of 15 August 1915 in voluntarily going forward unaccompanied by an escort in darkness and blowing a breach in the walls of Dilwar Fort large enough for a storming party to enter.’ Note: another D.S.M. is known to this man. Awarded for service in action with H.M.S. Juno’s landing party at Dilwar in August 1915 against the Tangistani Tribe who had been incited by Herr Wassmuss, the ex-German Consul at Bushire. On the 12th July they had raided the town, killing two British officers and several sepoys, and wounding others. Puckhaber was apparently serving in Juno’s machine gun section of 11 petty officers and men, with Captain Carpenter, R.M.L.I., in command. Carpenter and two other Naval officers received the D.S.C. for this action in which machine-guns saw significant action during the several advances and withdrawals that took place. Herbert Albert Victor Puckhaber was born at Millwall, London, on 6 July 1887, and joined the navy in July 1905. He served in submarines from 1910 until he joined Juno on 30 July 1914. In May 1915, Juno was in Queenstown for escort duties and, on the 4th of that month, was ordered to rendezvous with the Lusitania when she arrived at a position off the Fastnet Rock. At noon on the 5th, Juno was ordered back to Queenstown, and on the 7th the Lusitania was torpedoed and sunk. Juno was immediately ordered to rescue survivors but was recalled soon afterwards because of the continuing threat from U-boats. In July 1915 Juno was recalled to Gibraltar, and ordered to proceed at full speed to Port Said, and then on to Bombay. On arrival, she completed with stores and was ordered to proceed to Bushire in the Persian Gulf, to co-operate with the troops against the Tangistani Tribe. Puckhaber left the Juno in January 1916 and returned to submarines. He was killed in action on 25 April 1916, when serving in H.M. Submarine E-22, which was trying to intercept Hipper’s battle cruisers in the North Sea, but she was torpedoed and sunk by UB-18. Sold with copied service record and further research.
