An outstanding sniper’s ‘Battle of Loos 1915’ D.C.M. group of five awarded to Private J. Ryan, 5th Battalion (formerly 2nd Battalion), Rifle Brigade, who emigrated to Canada after the War, and ‘changed his target from Huns to moose’ Distinguished Conduct Medal, G.V.R. (2546 Pte. J. Ryan. 5-Rif. Brig.); 1914 Star, with clasp (2546 Pte. J. Ryan. Rif. Brig.); British War and Victory Medals (2546 Pte. J. Ryan. Rif. Brig.); War Medal 1939-45, mounted for display, the Great War awards all named in a Canadian style and therefore possibly a replacement or duplicate set, contact marks, otherwise nearly very fine or better (5) £1,000-£1,400 --- D.C.M. London Gazette 14 January 1916; citation published 11 March 1916: ‘For conspicuous gallantry and very good work, as a sniper. No work of this kind was too dangerous for him. While carrying out a duel with an enemy sniper in front of our parapets he was wounded, this being the third time he had been wounded during the year. His services have been most valuable and his devotion very marked.’ Joseph Ryan enlisted into the Army on 20 December 1907, aged 17. He landed at Havre on 7 November 1914, with the 2nd Battalion of the Rifle Brigade and was awarded the D.C.M. for his work as a sniper, principally as Bois Grenier during the Battle of Loos. He was wounded three times during 1915. By 1916 he was serving with the 5th Battalion and his award was both gazetted and named to this battalion. At some later date, presumably no longer fit for front line service, he was transferred to the Labour Corps and subsequently discharged from the service due to his wounds on 11 December 1917. The Regimental History records that Ryan’s D.C.M. was for the attack at Bois Grenier on 25 September 1915, and that it was one of four such awards for this action. The Rifle Brigade Chronicle of 1924 included a picture of Ryan, taken in Canada where he was then living, together with an ex-Rifleman who had served in Canada in 1866. After describing Ryan’s D.C.M. winning exploits, the note ends ‘From a letter recently received from J. Ryan he appears to still keep up his sniping, but has changed his target from Huns to moose, deer, etc.’ Sold with copied research including extracts from the Regimental History with account of the Bois Grenier action, and war diary extracts for 1914 and 1915. Note: Another group of medals to this man is known to exist, and given the fact that the 1914 Star in this lot omits the Battalion number, and the fact that the medals are all named in a style typically seen on Canadian-issued awards, it is likely that the medals in this lot are a replacement set issued in Canada.
Lot 224
A Great War ‘Western Front’ D.C.M. group of three awarded to Sergeant C. Jenkerson, 8th Battalion, East Surrey Regiment, for gallantry at Rancourt, near Bapaume, on 1 September 1918, when he assisted in the capture of a machine-gun crew of 12 men; he was killed in action on 23 October 1918 Distinguished Conduct Medal, G.V.R. (14195 Sjt. C. Jenkerson. 8-E. Surr. R.); British War and Victory Medals (14195 Sjt. C. Jenkerson. E. Surr. R.) very fine (3) £800-£1,000 --- D.C.M. London Gazette 16 January 1919: ‘For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty near Rancourt on 1st September, 1918, in mopping up a large area of old trenches. He located a machine gun which was causing trouble, and with one man crept up and bombed it, showing such determination that the crew of 12 lost their nerve and surrendered.’ Curtis Jenkerson was born in Quebec, Canada. A locksmith by trade, he enlisted at Rotherhithe on 20 October 1915, aged 23 years 3 months. He served in France with the 9th Battalion, East Surrey Regiment from 1 May to 18 September 1916, and from 18 April to 5 May 1917; with the 13th Battalion from 5 May 1917 to 9 August 1918, and thereafter with the 8th Battalion until his death in action on 23 October 1918. He is buried in Montay British Cemetery, near Le Cateau. Sold with copied research including service papers, which note that he was wounded four times; 8th Battalion war diary extracts; and Medal Index Card which notes that a duplicate D.C.M. was issued to the Records Office, Hounslow.
Lot 228
A fine Great War Gallipoli ‘Third Battle of Krithia’ D.C.M. group of four awarded to Private W. Stenton, 1/8th (Ardwick) Battalion, Manchester Regiment, later a Sergeant (Fitter) in the Royal Air Force Distinguished Conduct Medal, G.V.R. (2109 Pte. W. Stenton. 1/8 Manch: Regt.-T.F.) surname officially corrected from ‘Stanton’ as confirmed on D.C.M. Card; 1914-15 Star (2109 Pte. W. Stenton. Manch. R.); British War and Victory Medals (403555 Sgt. W. Stenton. R.A.F.) mounted for display, good very fine (4) £1,200-£1,600 --- D.C.M. London Gazette 5 August 1915: ‘For gallant conduct on the 4th June, 1915, south of Krithia (Dardanelles). He advanced across the open under heavy fire with a rope to one of the enemy’s abandoned machine guns, which was by this means dragged in and captured.’ The fighting at Krithia continued until 8th June when Lieutenant-Colonel Bentley, commanding the battalion, recorded “On June 5th none of the officers (22 in number) of the 8th Manchesters who went into action were left, with the exception of Capt Barlow, who was with the machine guns, and myself. The casualties as far as I can estimate, were nearly 500 killed and wounded. I cannot adequately describe the devotion and bravery of the men I had the honour to command. Every man behaved nobly and it is really difficult to single any particular unit, which did better than another. The medical arrangements, the commissariat and the getting up of ammunition were perfectly carried out.’ One of only two awards of the D.C.M. to the battalion for Gallipoli. William Stenton was born on 31 August 1892, at Clifton, near Brighouse, Yorkshire. He joined the 1/8th Territorial Battalion of the Manchester Regiment a few months before the outbreak of war. A turner by trade, he had previously been employed at the Bright Westinghouse works at Trafford Park. He landed with his battalion in the Egyptian theatre on 5 November 1914, and went on to serve on the Gallipoli peninsula. He won his D.C.M. whilst serving with the 126th (Manchester) Brigade, 42nd East Lancashire Division. Having landed with his regiment at Cape Helles in early May 1915, he took part in the Third Battle of Krithia on 4 June 1915, and afterwards took part in the Battle of Krithia Vineyard on 6 August 1915, remaining with the regiment until the evacuation in January 1916. He finished the war as a Sergeant Fitter (Turner) in the Royal Air Force.

A scarce South Africa 1877-79 Medal awarded to Trooper W. Rusch, 1st Cape Mounted Yeomanry, who was wounded in action in the second assault on Morosi’s Stronghold on 5 June 1879 South Africa 1877-79, 1 clasp, 1879 (Tpr. W. Rusch 1st Cape Yeory.) good very fine £1,200-£1,600 --- W. Rusch served in the 1st Cape Mounted Yeomanry during the Morosi campaign of 1879. This unit saw a good deal of action at Morosi’s Mountain in 1879 and Basutoland in 1880, suffering many casualties. Trooper Rusch is listed as wounded during the second failed assault on Morosi’s Mountain on 5 June 1879 (confirmed in published Casualty roll), his Regiment suffering 20 killed and wounded, and the 2nd Regiment loosing a further 12 men. For his gallantry during the assault, Surgeon Major Hartley would be awarded the Victoria Cross. A trooper De Rusch, 2nd Cape Mounted Yeomanry is listed in the London Gazette, 14 December 1880 as slightly wounded at Mohalie’s Hoek on 4 October 1880.

The important Naval General Service Medal awarded to Able Seaman Charles Stewart, who was present on board H.M.S. Mars in her epic conflict with the Hercule in April 1798, and later fought at Trafalgar aboard H.M.S. Victory Naval General Service 1793-1840, 2 clasps, Mars 21 April 1798, Trafalgar (Charles Stewart.) suspension claw re-fixed, edge bruising and contact wear, otherwise nearly very fine £14,000-£18,000 --- Provenance: Payne Collection 1911; Glendining’s, May 1922, July 1946 (G. Dalrymple White Collection), and July 1977; Spink, July 2000 (Ron Byatt Collection) £11,500; Dix Noonan Webb, November 2015 (John Goddard Collection) £14,000. Mars 21 April 1798 [26 issued] - 10 medals known, including examples in the National Maritime Museum; Royal Naval Museum; Honeyman Collection (U.S.A.); and Patiala Collection (Sheesh Mahal Museum, India). Trafalgar [1611 issued] - including 18 officers and 104 men on board Nelson’s flagship Victory. The published Naval General Service Medal rolls confirm Charles Stewart as an Ordinary Seaman aboard the Mars for the action of 21 April 1798, and as an Able Seaman aboard the Victory at the battle of Trafalgar on 21 October 1805. One other man appears on the roll with these names as a recipient of the ‘Copenhagen 1801’ clasp. Charles Stewart, who was from Banffshire, Scotland, originally entered the Royal Navy aboard H.M.S. Zealand in September 1797 but had removed to the Mars in time for her famous duel with the Hercule in April 1798: Mars captures Hercule At 11 a.m. on the 21st April as the British fleet was crossing the Iroise Passage two sails were spotted to the east. The three most easterly ships were detached to investigate the sails, these being the 74-gun ships of the line Mars, Captain Alexander Hood, and Ramillies, Captain H. Inman, and the 38-gun frigate Jason, Captain C. Stirling. At 2 p.m. a third sail was sighted close to the shore to the southeast. This new sail was much larger than those sighted earlier, and the squadron turned towards the new ship, the 74-gun Hercule on her maiden voyage. During the chase Ramillies lost her fore topmast and dropped back, whereupon Captain Hood made every effort to accelerate the sailing of the Mars and soon gained on the leading ship, the Jason, and the Hercule. Captain L'Héritier of the Hercule realised that in open water he would soon be caught and overwhelmed, and sought instead to escape through the channel of the Raz de Sein. As the Hercule neared the channel, the Mars overtook the Jason and Captain Hood put her on a starboard tack and bore down on the Hercule. At 8.30 p.m., finding herself unable to sail against the strong current, the Hercule dropped anchor at the mouth of the channel, swung her broadside about to face the enemy and furled her sails. Captain Hood attempted to manoeuvre the Mars into an effective position to attack the Hercule, but the current in the Raz de Sein passage prevented this and instead he decided to bring the Mars directly alongside and fight broadside to broadside. At 9.25 p.m., after an initial heavy exchange, with the Mars fighting the current, she pulled slightly ahead of the Hercule and dropped anchor. The port bow anchor of the Mars became entangled with the starboard anchor of the Hercule, causing the British ship to swing violently and collide with the Hercule. Thus entangled and with sides rubbing together, both captains ordered their ships to pour fire into the other. The situation was such that many cannons on both ships could not be run out, and instead had to be fired from inside, so that the ships sides were much burnt and quite blackened. During the exchange, Captain Hood was mortally wounded by a musket shot to the thigh but he lived just long enough to hear the cheers of his victorious seamen, and to learn that he had not in vain died for his country. The Hercule twice failed to board the Mars sustaining heavy casualties on each attempt. Captain L'Héritier himself was injured twice leading the assault. At 1030 p.m., after an hour of continual bombardment L'Héritier surrendered, the hull of the Hercule being torn open and the Jason being seen fast approaching. The Hercule had suffered a loss of 250 men killed and wounded. The casualties of the Mars were also very heavy. In addition to Captain Hood, a Captain of Marines, one Midshipman and 28 men were killed or missing, and two Lieutenants, one Midshipman and 57 men were wounded. The Hercule was carried into Plymouth and added to the Navy under the same name. Lieutenant William Butterfield, First of the Mars, was promoted to the rank of Commander. Stewart joins the Victory and fights at Trafalgar Very probably aboard the Mars when she was beached in April 1802, Stewart was quickly 'Prest' back into service aboard the Penelope and, in May 1803, joined the ship's company of the Victory, in which ship he was present under Nelson at Trafalgar: 'The story of the great fight, which commenced at noon, needs no telling here. On the firing ceasing, the Victory was found to have lost 57 killed and 103 wounded, and was herself all but a wreck. The tremendous fire to which she had been exposed when leading her line into action had caused great damage at a very early period in the Battle; and before she herself fired a gun, many of her spars were shot away, and great injury had been done to her hull, especially to the fore part. At the conclusion of the action she had lost her mizzenmast, the fore-topmast had to be struck to save the foremast, and the main mast was not much better, while her figurehead had been struck by shot and part of it carried away. Her sails were badly wounded, and it took all the exertions of her crew to refit the rigging sufficiently to stand the bad weather that followed. Her trophy, the 74-gun French Redoubtable, was one of those that sank after the action in deep water, and in her, as many of the other vessels lost, went down her Prize Crew of gallant British seamen. On 3 November the Victory sailed from Gibraltar on the melancholy but proud duty of conveying the body of the dead hero of England. She reached Spithead on 4 December, and Sheerness on the 22nd, where Nelson's body was removed to a yacht for conveyance to Greenwich and St. Paul's. During the ceremony of removing his remains, the hero's flag, which had flown half-mast ever since the action, was lowered for the last time' (Ref: The Trafalgar Roll, by Colonel R. H. Holden). Able Seaman Stewart was invalided at Malta Hospital in early December 1807 and later became a Greenwich Pensioner. He must have died after 17 December 1863 since all deaths are recorded in ADM 73/47 up to this date. Sold with detailed research by Captain K. J. Douglas-Morris, R.N.
