Matron K. M. Hewetson.); together with the recipient’s Queen Alexandra’s Imperial Military Nursing Service cape badge; and a Red Cross Society Medal for War Service 1914-18, good very fine (5) £600-£800 --- R.R.C. London Gazette 8 April 1919: Miss Katharine Milligan Hewetson, Asst. Matron, Royal Herbert Hosp., Woolwich ‘In recognition of valuable nursing services in connection with the War.' Miss Katharine Milligan Hewetson was born at Penpont, Dumfriesshire, Scotland, on 2 July 1868. She qualified as a Midwife on 7 August 1913, before emigrating to the small village of Kaslo, British Columbia, not long thereafter. Returned to England at her own expense, she reported for duty on 10 May 1915 at the Royal Herbert Hospital, Woolwich. Transferred to France as Assistant Matron on 22 February 1918, she served at the Villa Tino, Le Touquet, and was later attached to the 24th General Hospital at Etaples. Struck off strength on 10 May 1919, her reference was most impressive: ‘As Matron in charge of the Sick Sister's Hospital at Le Touquet she has shown very good administration capacity, and when occasion arises, of initiation well carried out. She has a sound knowledge of professional work. Her energy and zeal are unlimited and directed with consummate ease. Punctual and thoroughly reliable, and her influence generally has been the best.' It is believed that Miss Hewetson returned to British Columbia in 1919. It is later noted in her Service Record that she could be contacted at an address in Christchurch, New Zealand, in the mid 1930s. She later died in hospital in Edinburgh on 28 December 1944.

A fine Naval General Service Medal 1793-1840 awarded to Captain G. Cheyne, Royal Navy, who, having been taken prisoner following the Seagull’s ‘glorious resistance of 2 hours and 30 minutes’ against a far superior Danish flotilla off Norway in June 1808, was ‘employed with the Army under the Duke of Wellington near Bayonne’ in February-August 1814 - but only after he had managed to pass ‘the fearful bar of the Adour in an open boat with five men’, an example of ‘dashing intrepidity’ that won the admiration of his Admiral Naval General Service 1793-1840, 1 clasp, Algiers (George Cheyne, Lieut. R.N.) minor edge nicks, better than very fine £2,400-£2,800 --- Provenance: Dix Noonan Webb, December 2007. George Cheyne was baptised at St. Andrew’s Church, Edinburgh in March 1788 and entered the Royal Navy as a Midshipman in the Texel on 12 October 1804. Removing to the Seagull of 16 guns and 94 men, as Master’s Mate, under Commander Robert Cathcart, in September 1805, he was subsequently present at her loss off Norway: ‘The latter vessel was captured off the coast of Norway 19 June 1808, by a powerful Danish force, consisting of the Lougen, of 20 guns and 160 men, and of six gunboats, all heavily armed and manned, after a glorious resistance of two hours and 30 minutes, in which she lost eight men killed and 20 wounded, and was reduced to a sinking state. Mr. Cheyne was, with the rest of his shipmates, taken prisoner and confined until the following October’ (O’Byrne refers). A rather more informative account of this action, namely the official report submitted by Commander Cathcart, was published in the London Gazette of 17-20 September 1808: ‘I beg leave to acquaint you, that in His Majesty’s sloop Seagull, under my command, yesterday at 2 p.m., off Norway bearing W.N.W. seven or eight leagues, I discovered a brig inshore running to the eastward, and immediately made all sail in chase of her; at half-past four we came within gunshot and hoisted our Colours, which she answered by hoisting Danish Colours and opening fire on the starboard side. At this time it became nearly calm from a fresh breeze we had at W.S.W. and which obliged us to get our sweeps out, in order to get between her and the shore. At five we got within musket-shot of the enemy and commenced action; having now most of our sweeps shot away and a great part of the rigging. At twenty minutes past five we discovered several gunboats coming towards us, which had been concealed behind the rocks; and it being perfect calm, they had every advantage they could with in placing them. They took their position on each quarter, raking us every shot, while the brig had the same advantage on the larboard bow. At half-past six five of our carronades were dismounted on the larboard side (the only side we could bring to bear on the enemy), and several of the officers and crew killed or wounded. Every method was used to get the Seagull round, so as to bring the starboard guns to bear, but without effect; with our sweeps being all shot away, the gunboats hulling us every shot they fired, five feet of water in the hold, and all our sails and rigging cut to pieces, at half-past seven, from the sinking state of the ship, and also the great slaughter made by the gunboats, I considered it an indispensable duty for the preservation of the surviving officers and crew, to order the Colours to be hauled down. I have the satisfaction to acquaint you, there was scarcely sufficient time to remove the wounded out of the Seagull before she sunk. The force opposed to her was the Danish brig of war Lougen, mounting 20 guns (18 long-18-pounders and two long-6-pounders); six gunboats, most of them carrying two 20-pounders and from 50 to 70 men each. The action was fought close to the mouth of the harbour of Christiansand. I cannot speak in terms adequate to the defence of every officer and man under my command on this trying occasion. I received that support from Mr. Hatton, the First Lieutenant, I had every reason to expect from his general good conduct; and the officers and crew have my warmfelt thanks for their cool and steady behaviour; and I consider it a duty I owe them, to add, that never was more British valour displayed than on this occasion, although opposed to so very superior a force. The enemy must have suffered very considerably, but I have not been able to ascertain to what extent. Several of the Danes perished on board the Seagull, so precipitately did she go down; I herewith send to you a list of the killed and wounded on board the said sloop.’ Following his release in October 1808, Cheyne joined the Nightingale, under Captain William Wilkinson, while his subsequent appointments in the Ganymede (1809-10) and Alexandria (1810-11) were under his old C.O., Robert Cathcart, the whole on the Home or Baltic Stations; so, too, his time in the Victory under Sir James Saumarez (1812). Advanced to Lieutenant in the Defiance in December 1813, he removed in the same month to the Porcupine, under Captain John Coode and, in February 1814, to the sloop Woodlark. It was in this latter capacity, using a Spanish boat ‘destined to assist the operations of the Army under Marquess of Wellington’, that he made his courageous crossing of the ‘fearful bar’ of the Adour (Rear-Admiral Penrose’s despatch, as per London Gazette 15 March 1814, refers). Those duties discharged, Cheyne joined the Queen in the Mediterranean that September, prior to removing to another command of John Coode, the Albion, in December 1815, and in her was present at the bombardment of Algiers. Cheyne came ashore when the Albion was paid-off in May 1819, was advanced to Commander that August and, on half-pay, to post-rank in April 1832. Sold with extensive copied research.
‘I appear to have the happy knack of walking straight into trouble and then squirming out again.’ Letter from the recipient to his mother, three days after his Albert Medal winning exploits. A fine and extremely well-documented Albert Medal for Sea group of four awarded to Lieutenant-Commander D. Wainwright, Royal Navy, for his great gallantry and complete disregard of his own personal safety whilst attempting to save the life of a wounded stoker trapped in a stokehold aboard the rapidly sinking H.M.S. Penarth, which had struck a mine during a snowstorm in the North Sea on 4 February 1919. After his ship sank, he endured over 40 hours on a Carley float, in a winter sea, exposed and without food or water until finally rescued. Previously, Wainwright had survived the sinking of H.M.S. Nomad at the Battle of Jutland on 31 May 1916, being rescued from the North Sea, recording for posterity a graphic account of Nomad’s sinking at Jutland. Taken Prisoner of War, twice he attempted to escape, most notably on 24 July 1918, as one of the ‘Tunnellers of Holzminden’ - the greatest Prisoner of War break-out of the First World War. Wainwright’s later varied career saw him serve with the Auxiliary Division, Royal Irish Constabulary; with the British Gendarmerie in Palestine; and finally, as an Observer in Czechoslovakia following the Munich Conference. Returning to the Admiralty in 1939, he re-trained in Minesweepers before disappearing, drowned, off Portland on the eve of the Second World War Albert Medal, 2nd Class, for Gallantry in Saving Life at Sea, bronze and enamel, the reverse officially engraved ‘Presented by His Majesty to Lieut. David Wainwright, R.N., for Gallantry in attempting to save life on the occasion of the loss of H.M.S. “Penarth” on the 4th. Feb. 1919’; 1914-15 Star (S. Lt. D. Wainwright. R.N.); British War and Victory Medals (Lieut. D. Wainwright. R.N.) mounted as worn and housed in a Spink, London, leather case, contact marks and light pitting, especially to the reverse of the AM, therefore nearly very fine (lot) £8,000-£12,000 --- A.M. London Gazette 20 May 1919: ‘On the 4th of February 1919, H.M.S. Penarth struck a mine and immediately began to sink. Lieutenant David Wainwright, taking command of the situation, at once superintended the manning and lowering of the starboard gig, and later the launching of the Carley floats. Hearing there was a stoker injured in one of the stokeholds, he called for volunteers to show him the way, and at once made his way forward. There was by now a heavy list on the ship, and it was apparent she would not remain afloat much longer, the upper deck on the starboard side being already awash. Lieutenant Wainwright made his way below unaided, and while he was in the stokehold the ship struck a second mine abaft of him. The forepart was blown off and sank, and he was forced to wait till the stokehold had filled before he could float to the surface to escape. He displayed the greatest gallantry and disregard for his own personal safety in going below at a time when the ship was liable to sink at any moment.’ David Wainwright was born in Teddington, Middlesex, on 9 September 1894, and entered Osborne Naval Training College on the Isle of Wight as a Cadet in 1907, aged 13, before proceeding to Dartmouth in 1909, where he was in the same year as the future King Edward VIII. Appointed Midshipman, Wainwright’s first posting was aboard the Dreadnought class H.M.S. Colossus, and having been commissioned Acting Sub Lieutenant in June 1914, he transferred to H.M.S. Tigress in November of that year and was present at the Battle of Dogger Bank in January 1915. H.M.S. Nomad and the Battle of Jutland Wainwright was appointed Sub Lieutenant in H.M.S. Nomad in April 1916, and served in her at the Battle of Jutland, 31 May 1916, during which the Nomad was lost. Eight of her crew were killed, with 72 (including Wainwright) being rescued from the sea by German Torpedo boats and taken Prisoner of War. The recipient’s own account of the action states: ‘“Light cruisers report enemy in sight, Sir?” Thus, the bridge messenger at about 2.30pm on 31 May 1916. I opened my eyes with a start. After my morning watch and forenoon on deck I had hoped for an "Afternoon caulk." It was not to be. Up on deck one found the battle cruisers steaming on out beam. We, the Destroyers, were spread out in a protective fan ahead and abreast of them as a submarine screen. There seemed to be nothing dissimilar to our normal cruising appearance, and it was difficult to believe that the present stunt would vary in its finish from its predecessors; a long sweep to the eastward, a forenoon and afternoon spent in a forlorn dalliance in enemy waters and the ensuing return home with its inevitable zigzagging, submarine alarms and other reiterating monotonies. There seemed to be more of the crew on deck than was usual. Little knots of men stood talking and pointing ahead and away over the starboard bow. On the bridge the captain, one huge smile, breathed, “They're out?” and an air of cheerful expectancy prevailed. H.M.S. Lion decked herself out in bunting, and across the water we heard the call of “Action Stations” sounding in the battle cruisers. It was now about 2.45pm. We went to action stations ourselves, saw that everything was ready, and then as we could see no enemy yet, we went below in turns and had some tea. I remember thinking to myself: “I don't want to be killed, but if it's quick I shan't mind so much. I'm in a mortal funk of being wounded, but I needn't worry about being taken prisoner as that's not likely to happen.” My opinions were shortly to undergo a speedy change! Meanwhile we had received orders to take stations ahead of the battle cruisers and we were gradually drawing into position. From the bridge we could see, low down on the horizon off the port bow, masses of smoke, then masts and then funnels. The smoke was suddenly stabbed by vicious jabs of flame, later came the roll of the German guns and turning to our battle cruisers we saw them surrounded by colossal waterspouts that towered to the height of the foretops. A second later with a ripple of thunder our fleet replied. Think of the worst peal of thunder that you have ever heard, try to imagine it going on continuously and imagine that at the same time you are standing in the corridor of the Royal Scot with all the windows open, passing at full speed another Express going in the opposite direction on the next lot of rails. You will then have a faint conception of what it felt like on the bridge of a Destroyer in the van of the battle cruisers at Jutland. Tearing through the sea we waited our orders and watched the giants fighting. Now through glasses we could make out the head of the enemy a few light cruisers and a low huddle of Destroyers, our opposite numbers. Both fleets heading to the Southeast we were gradually converging, and away over there eight or ten miles away were men manning tubes and guns. Their tubes contained torpedoes for an attack (which we must foil) on our big ships, and the guns were fed with shells for us. Mathematically and in cold blood, at a distance which on land would take two or more hours to walk, we shortly proposed to pump highly explosive pieces of metal at each other. It seemed impossible to realise that Der Tag had at last come, and the state of tension while waiting for it to begin was the worst period that I passed through, because it gave imagination a chance to work. What happened when the shells struck a ship and that dull red glow appeared? Was everyone immediately asphyxiated, burnt or mangled? In another half hour would I be alive and unhurt, or would ...
