Naval General Service 1793-1840, 2 clasps, 17 June 1795, Mars 21 April 1798 (William Tucker.) nearly extremely fine £5,000-£7,000 --- Importation Duty This lot is subject to importation duty of 5% on the hammer price unless exported outside the UK --- --- 49 clasps issued for Vice-Admiral Cornwallis’s action off Ushant on 17 June 1795, where five enemy ships, two frigates and a brig were successfully engaged. 26 clasps issued for the capture of the French 74-gun ship-of-the-line L’Hercule by the Mars 74 William Tucker is confirmed as an Ordinary Seaman on Mars for both actions. Mars was badly damaged on 17 June 1795 and the only ship to sustain casualties. Her captain was killed in the action on 21 April 1798, when the French seventy-four L’Hercule was taken and added to the British fleet. 4 others with this name are shown on the rolls, all single clasps, for Trafalgar, Victorious with Rivoli, 14 Dec Boat Service 1814, and Navarino. 17 June 1794 Vice-Admiral the Hon. W. Cornwallis, with the Royal Sovereign 100, flagship, Captain J. Whitby; Mars, Sir C. Cotton; Triumph, Sir E. Gower; Brunswick, Lord Charles Fitzgerald; Bellerophon, Lord Cranston, all seventy-fours; the frigates Phaeton, Hon. R. Stopford; Pallas, Hon. H. Curzon; and the Kingfisher, sloop, at the end of May, 1795, sailed from Spithead on a cruise off Ushant, On June 16th, near Belle-Isle; he discovered a French fleet of twelve sail of the line, fourteen frigates and corvettes, and four smaller vessels, and finding it so superior in force hauled to the wind, and stood to the northward under all sail. Some of the British ships being heavy sailers, on the morning of June 17th, the enemy's fleet formed in three divisions, came up very fast, and at about nine a.m. their van ships opened fire on the Mars, the rearmost ship in the British squadron. The cannonade soon became general, each of the British ships firing her stern or quarter guns as she could bring them to bear. The leading French ships kept up a harassing fire for three or four hours, when Admiral Cornwallis, seeing that the Mars, much crippled in her rigging, had fallen to leeward, and was in danger of being overpowered, bore up to her relief followed by the Triumph. On the approach of the Royal Sovereign, the van ships of the enemy hauled to the wind, but a partial firing was kept up till after six in the evening. About seven o'clock the French gave up the pursuit, tacked and stood away to the eastward, and at sunset were nearly hull down. What induced the French Admiral to retire when his ships had almost surrounded the British squadron, was a successful manoeuvre practised on him by Admiral Cornwallis. Early on the morning of the 17th, he sent the Phaeton far ahead of his squadron, in order, as he said, "to humbug the fellows astern." Having got some miles off, the Phaeton made the signal of strange sails in the west north west, followed by the signal for a fleet. At three p.m., being very far ahead, the frigate made the private signal to the supposed fleet, and then signalling to Admiral Cornwallis that the fleet were ships of the line and friends, wore to rejoin the squadron. The enemy were well acquainted with the British signals, and knew that a fleet under Lord Bridport was at sea, and several small sail appearing at the same time in the extreme distance, they deemed them to be his ships, and gave up the chase. With the exception of the Mars and Triumph, the British ships received but little damage, but their sterns were much shaken from the continued firing of the guns; not a man was killed, and but twelve men wounded on board the Mars. Capture of L’Hercule In the spring of 1798, a detachment of the Channel fleet, under Admiral Lord Bridport was cruising off Brest. On April 21st, three strange sail were discovered, one of which, a French 74 was chased by the Mars 74, Captain Alexander Hood, the Ramilies 74, Captain H. Inman, and the Jason 38-gun frigate, Captain C. Stirling. Shortly after six in the evening the Ramilies carried away her fore-top mast and fell astern,and the chase was continued by the Mars and Jason, the rest of the British fleet being distant ten or twelve miles. The French ship, which was I'Hercule a new 74 just out of port, finding herself unable to escape through the passage du Raz into Brest, dropped her anchor, and with her sails furled and a spring on her cable, awaited the approach of the Mars. About nine fifteen p.m. the Mars which had left the Jason far astern, was fired on by the I'Hercule, and gave a return, when Captain Hood ranging a short distance ahead of his opponent, let go his anchor. The Mars dropping astern through the strength of the current, the anchor on her larboard bow became hooked in the starboard anchor of the Hercule, and thus entangled, their sides rubbing together so that the lower deck guns of each ship could not be run out, but were fired within board, the two ships fought for nearly an hour and a half. Two attempts of the Frenchmen to board the Mars were defeated, and the starboard side of the Hercule being terribly shattered, several of her ports beaten into one, and five of her lower deck guns dismounted, at ten-thirty, she hailed that she had surrendered. In this severe action the Mars lost her gallant Captain, Hood, twenty-nine officers and men killed and missing, and sixty men wounded. The loss of the Hercule, out of a crew of seven hundred men, was two hundred and ninety killed and wounded. About twenty minutes after the engagement terminated, the Jason came up, and assisted in removing the prisoners and getting the prize under sail. The damages to her hull were so extensive, that it was with the greatest difficulty that she was brought into Plymouth, where she was refitted, and added to the British Navy.

Three: Leading Aircraftman A. Norburgson, Royal Air Force, who served at R.A.F. Manston in Kent during the Battle of Britain Defence and War Medals 1939-45; Royal Air Force L.S. & G.C., G.V.R. (245165. L.A.C. A. Norburgson. R.A.F.) extremely fine (3) £120-£160 --- Alfred ‘Alf’ Norburgson was born at Old Ford, London, on 25 March 1900, the son of wood machinist Alfred Norburgson. Educated at Roman Road School in Bow, he was borne on the books of the Royal Naval Air Service from 3 January 1918 and was posted to R.N.A.S. Tregantle in Cornwall. Transferred to the Royal Air Force as Private 2nd Class on 31 March 1918, he married Ada Edith Cookson on 29 July 1928. A contemporary local newspaper takes up the story: ‘Young Wife’s Grief - Airman’s Tragic Discovery: Pathetic Inquest Story. The pathetic story of a young wife’s depression following the failure of an operation which she hoped would enable her to bear children was related to the Deputy Coroner (Mr. E. C. Allfree) at an inquest at Ramsgate Police Station on Wednesday. The inquest was on Mrs. Ada Edith Norburgson, aged 31, wife of Leading Aircraftman Alfred Norburgson, of 35 Crescent-road, Ramsgate. When Mr. Norburgson returned home from Manston camp on Tuesday afternoon he detected a smell of gas in his flat. Opening the scullery door, he found his wife lying on the floor with her head resting on an apron in the gas oven.’ Under the stress of deep emotion, Norburgson confirmed his role at No. 3 School of Technical Training (Manston) and the failure of an operation to his wife at Halton Hospital in April 1935. Sent to Shorncliffe Hospital for ‘nerve treatment’ her mental health never recovered; the scene was further darkened by a goodbye letter written by the deceased to her husband pleading for his forgiveness. In the following three years Norburgson remarried and is recorded as living with Ada Alice Smith and her parents at 109 Crescent Road, Ramsgate. Listed as ‘R.A.F. Corporal 245165 No. 3 S. of T. T.’ in the 1939 census, he was present at Manston when the airfield sat firmly on the front line of the Battle of Britain. Heavily bombed by the Luftwaffe, Manston also served as the departure point for six Fairey Swordfish aircraft in 1942 as they attempted to engage the Prinz Eugen, Scharnhorst and Gneisenau; an operation known later as the Channel Dash. Having survived tragedy and war, Norburgson caught the attention of The Thanet Echo and Advertiser on 20 August 1948 when his father-in-law, 77-year-old Samuel Edward Smith, was found dead in a gas-filled scullery following the passing of his much loved wife: ‘Alfred Norburgson said deceased lived with him and his wife. On Friday, deceased had dinner about 1.30pm and then retired to bed. Witness and his wife went out at 3pm and when they arrived back just over two hours later they noticed a strong smell of gas. In the scullery they found deceased lying on the floor with his head resting on a cushion placed on the edge of the open oven. The gas was fully on.’

C.B.E. London Gazette 25 November 1941. For Operations ‘Substance’ and ‘Style’ (Gibraltar to Malta Convoy, 21 July - 4 August 1941). Originally put forward for a Mention in Despatches, it was subsequently proposed that Jeffery be given the D.S.O., but in the end he was awarded the C.B.E. The following recommendation is taken from Admiralty records: ‘Captain Eric Gordon Jeffery, R.N., Chief of Staff of Vice-Admiral Somerville. F.O. Force ‘H’ particularly brings to notice the name of his Chief of Staff, Captain E. G. Jeffery. He states: ‘This officer was responsible for the preparation of detailed plans to deal with the complicated and tightly adjusted programmes required for these operations, in which secrecy had to be maintained to the fullest degree. The smoothness and precision with which the refuelling of all units and the embarkation of stores and personnel were carried out bear witness to his admirable judgement and foresight which I have previously had occasion to commend to their Lordships in connection with other successful operations.’ It will be recollected that F.O. Force ‘H’ strongly recommended Captain Jeffery for recognition in connection with the Bismarck operation. I think this strong recommendation now received entitles this most able officer to the award of a D.S.O.’ M.I.D. London Gazette 14 October 1941 (Bismarck action). Admiral Somerville, Flag Officer Force “H”, originally put Jeffery forward for the D.S.O. for this action, a recommendation that was reinforced when submitting awards for Operations ‘Substance’ and ‘Style’. M.I.D. London Gazette 6 January 1942 (Operation ‘Halberd’ - Gibraltar to Malta Convoy, 24-28 September 1941). Captain Eric Gordon Jeffery tragically died in October 1941; after appearing his usual cheerful self in the Wardroom of the flagship Rodney, he was later discovered in the bathroom, having hanged himself. Sold with copies from Admiralty records covering all three awards, and Admiral Somerville’s 11-page report on the part played by Force “H” in the destruction of the Bismarck.
