Fisher.) light contact marks, good very fine and better (lot) £700-£900 --- A.R.R.C. London Gazette 18 June 1918: Miss Amy Kaye, Matron, Loughborough General Hospital. Miss Amy Kaye, later Mrs. Fisher, was born in Linthwaite, Yorkshire, on 15 September 1877, and trained as a nurse at the David Lewis Northern Hospital, Great Howard Street, Liverpool, between August 1904 and August 1908, following which she became Outpatient Sister and then Housekeeping Sister at the same hospital. She joined the Territorial Force Nursing Service on 12 August 1909, and in 1912 was appointed Matron of the Cottage Hospital, Lytham, Lancashire. Following the outbreak of the Great War, Miss Kaye was mobilised by the Territorial Force Nursing Service on 12 August 1914 and sent as a Theatre Sister to the 1st Western General Hospital, Fazakerley, Liverpool. On 10 February 1915 she was posted to the Rawalpindi British Hospital in Wimereux, France, where she cared for soldiers wounded in the Battle of Neuve Chapelle (10-13 March 1915). In May 1915 she was forced to resign from the Territorial Force Nursing Service because of a family crisis, the precise nature of which is unknown; she had also received a letter from the Hospital Board in Lytham saying that they had found it very difficult to manage with temporary matrons, and consequently she returned to Lytham as Matron for a short while. Miss Kaye re-enrolled in the Territorial Force Nursing Service on 7 March 1916, and her name was put on the waiting list of the Headquarters Reserve. At the same time she also applied for the position of Matron and Lady Superintendent of Voluntary Aid Detachments at Loughborough General Hospital. She was chosen from 31 applicants for the post and she took up the position on 17 April 1916. Loughborough General Hospital had been designated an Auxiliary Military Hospital and it included 80 beds accommodating wounded soldiers. For her services during the Great War she was awarded the Royal Red Cross (Second Class), and received her insignia from H.M. the King at Buckingham Palace on 31 July 1918. The following year she was also invited to a Garden Party at Buckingham Palace. Following the cessation of hostilities, Miss Kaye remained as Matron in Loughborough until 1933. She then moved to Maidstone, Kent, and in 1934 married Dr. John Cecil Fisher. Dr. Fisher had previously been a visiting surgeon at the Cottage Hospital, Lytham, and had served with the Royal Army Medical Corps as a Captain during the war. Recorded in the 1939 Register as living in Maidstone, she died in Huddersfield, Yorkshire, on 5 October 1969, aged 92. Sold with a Presentation Key, 117mm long, silver-gilt and enamel, the face engraved ‘Miss A. Kaye, A.R.R.C., Matron. Reverse 1928-1933’, the edge engraved ‘*Loughborough General Hospital Extensions*’, in case of issue; a presentation wallet, front titled in gold lettering 'Loughborough & District Hospital Extensions, Miss A. Kaye, Matron’, containing two black and white pictures of the hospital in 1862 and with the extensions 1928-1933; and extensive copied research. John Cecil Fisher was born in Lytham, Lancashire, in 1868, and was educated at Warrington School, Charterhouse, and Brasenose College, Oxford. He was registered as a Member of the Royal College of Surgeons on 21 February 1896, and prior to the Great War was a visiting surgeon at the Cottage Hospital, Lytham. He was commissioned temporary Lieutenant in the Royal Army Medical Corps on 17 July 1915, and served with them during the Great War in the Gallipoli theatre of War from October 1915, being promoted Captain on 17 July 1916. Dr. Fisher married Miss Amy Kaye in 1934, by which point he was practising at the General Hospital, Maidstone. He died in Maidstone on 15 July 1941. Sold with copied research.

A fine Great War 'Second Battle of the Dover Straits' M.I.D. group of three awarded to Sick Berth Attendant J. Gradwell, Royal Navy, one of just two medics aboard H.M.S. Broke, who provided essential care when his ship rammed the Imperial German Navy Torpedo Boat SMS G42 at 27 knots, almost turning her adversary right over. With both vessels locked together, the scene descended into desperate hand-to-hand fighting on the top deck of Broke, the sailors attacking each other with cutlasses, bayonets and anything else at hand. Remarkably, the recipient later gave a firsthand account of this to a Bolton newspaper, adding that he suffered from the effects of an exploded gas shell British War and Victory Medals, with M.I.D. oak leaves (M.16759 J. Gradwell. S.B.A. R.N.); Romania, Kingdom, Medal for Bravery and Loyalty, 2nd Class, with crossed swords, silvered bronze, mounted as worn, good very fine and better (3) £300-£400 --- M.I.D. London Gazette 10 May 1917: 'Honours for Service in the Action between H.M. Ships "Swift" and "Broke" and German Destroyers, on the night of the 20th to 21st April, 1917.' Romania, Medal for Bravery and Loyalty, 2nd Class London Gazette 17 March 1919: 'For distinguished services rendered during the war.' James Gradwell was born in Bolton on 26 December 1891 and joined the Royal Navy at Portsmouth on 22 October 1915. Posted to Haslar Naval Hospital for a year, Gradwell transferred to the destroyer H.M.S. Broke on 29 December 1916 as Acting Auxiliary Sick Berth Attendant. The scenes aboard Broke in the night action of 20-21 April 1917 rank amongst some of the most vivid of the entire Great War. Thwarting a significant attack on the Dover Barrage by six Zeebrugge-based enemy torpedo boats, the Swift and Broke succeeded in sinking two vessels, the second by ramming, and at enormous cost, in a manner reminiscent of Napoleonic engagements rather than modern warfare. An eye-witness account of the action states: ‘Many casualties had occurred among the guns' crews of the forecastle through two enemy shells, one of which had detonated projectiles in a ready rack. All the electric cables and voice-pipes from the bridge had been shot away, while the after compass, after wireless-room, and searchlight were demolished. The foremost funnel was pierced through and through by splinters until it resembled a huge nutmeg-grater. A shell passing in through the side above the waterline had penetrated a coal-bunker, to explode in the boiler-room beyond, killing or wounding every man in the compartment and severing the main steam-pipe, from which the steam escaped with a deafening roar. And, besides the damage from enemy shell, the British flotilla-leader had a badly bent and crumpled bow, and two huge gashes forward above the waterline. Dead and wounded lay everywhere … In the space of a few moments the Broke was converted into a smoking-shambles. In places, her decks were literally running in blood. She sustained 57 casualties, of whom 21 were killed outright, and no part of the ship was immune.’ (Taffrail's Endless Story, refers). Towed back to port, the survivors of Broke were placed on 'survivor's furlough' and sent home. It was here that Gradwell's story caught the attention of The Farnworth Chronicle on 4 May 1917: ‘They call our ship the chattiest and happiest ship in the Navy,’ he remarked, in paying a very high tribute to the officers and crew, to all of whose bravery in the action he testified. ‘A probationary surgeon and our towns-man comprised the [only] medical staff of the vessel.’ For his bravery and devotion to duty that night, Gradwell was Mentioned in Despatches. The Bolton Journal and Guardian of 18 May 1917 corroborates the details above, adding: ‘For devoted services in attending the injured during the whole of the engagement, he being the only sick-berth attendant on board’. Remaining in service, Gradwell survived the War and was further recognised by the King of Romania with the rare 2nd Class decoration. He returned home to Bolton and later worked as an agent and superintendent for the Royal London Insurance Company. Elected Alderman in 1949 and Chairman of the Bolton and District Sewerage and Water Board, Gradwell served from 1960 to 1961 as Mayor of Bolton. A 'Bolton man' from top to toe, he died at Bolton General Hospital on 14 April 1972.

The R.N.I.P.L.S. Silver Medal awarded to ‘Big Tom’ Brown of Cresswell, Northumberland, for his outstanding rescue of six Danish seamen in conditions of great danger; he was later appointed Coxswain of Cresswell’s first lifeboat and received a ‘Second Service’ clasp in recognition of his saving more than 30 lives over a period of 15 years Royal National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck, G.IV.R., silver (Thomas Brown. Voted 3d. Jan 1861.) with uniface double-dolphin suspension, edge bruising, good very fine £400-£500 --- ‘On 23 November 1860 the schooner Julius of Aalborg, Denmark, was wrecked on the Broad Carr Rocks (Broad Skear) off the Northumberland coast north of Newbiggin. The rocks were submerged by the incoming tide. She sank immediately and her crew could be seen in the rigging with her masts bending to near breaking point. Mr. Brown decided to attempt a rescue with his three sons, using his largest coble on which he had been forced to make temporary repairs to a hole which had been made by a fractious horse. Judging the right moment, he launched and came alongside the schooner in spite of difficult conditions. The crew of six were all saved although two broke their legs in jumping from the rigging. At the moment of rescue, a wave struck the wreck which broke up but, with great skill, Mr. Brown kept his own boat clear of the flying masts.’ (Lifeboat Gallantry, by Barry Cox, refers). Second Service clasp voted 13 February, 1890: ‘Awarded to Coxswain Brown on his resignation as Coxswain, a post he had held for 15 years since the station was established. In that period the lifeboat had saved 33 lives from various wrecks. Services included those to the s.s. Gustaf (1876), the brig Swift (1882) and the schooner Swift (1886). Prior to the establishment of the station, Thomas Brown (big Tom) had been prominent in saving life and had been awarded the silver medal on 3 January 1861 for a shore boat rescue from the schooner Julius on 23 November 1860.’ (Ibid) ‘Big Tom’ Brown was born in the village of Cresswell, Northumberland, in 1817 and followed in the family fishing tradition from a young age. The Brown family have a celebrated place in the history of the small fishing village of Cresswell, not least for the assistance rendered by them across several generations to those in peril on the sea. An article published in The Lifeboat magazine in 1922 noted ‘Over 90 per cent of the villagers are named Brown, and from time immemorial they have been renowned for their hardihood and giant stature. In the days of the sailing ships many traders making to and from the busy Tyne were cast ashore here, and many gallant rescues have been performed by the men and women of Cresswell. The village has been the nursery of many daring seamen, for its fisher-folk have been trained in courage, resource and knowledge of the sea by the hard and dangerous conditions under which they gain their livelihood.’ Contemporary reports of the first rescue for which Big Tom Brown was recognised record that the circumstances were particularly fraught. The cries of the crew of the wrecked schooner were audible to the crowd gathered along the shore, but until Tom Brown, his elder son (also Thomas) and his brother (James) stepped forward the fierce seas had discouraged any attempt at rescue. The assistance of a passing carter and his mare was secured to pull Brown’s boat to the water’s edge, where the horse was so startled by the violence of the waves that it lashed out and staved in the bow of the boat below the water-line. Brown took off his coat, stuffed it into the hole and told his youngest son “Sit against that”; so hazardous did the enterprise appear that the boy was replaced by Brown’s nephew John Storey, who could be seen baling hard as his companions rowed into the teeth of the easterly gale. The events which led to the establishment of a lifeboat station at Cresswell were also closely related to a tragedy suffered by the Brown family. In March 1874, Big Tom's brother James (who had accompanied him in the 1860 rescue) and his three sons were returning to Cresswell after a fishing trip. Their boat was in sight of land when a heavy squall capsized it; all 4 drowned. The event was witnessed by Tom Brown himself, who attempted to reach one who could be seen clinging to the upturned boat for a while. As he later recounted, ‘I tried to get to him, but our boat was filled with water, and I could not. After I had saved so many strange men’s lives, so many foreigners as well as English, to think that I could not get to my own. It was hard.’ Big Tom Brown was the natural choice for coxswain when the Institution’s lifeboat ‘Old Potter’ arrived the following year; when he relinquished the post fifteen years later, he was succeeded by his son Adam. Such was the esteem in which he was held that in 1899 a fund was established, with the object of ensuring the veteran lifeboatman’s comfortable retirement. He died at Hauxley in 1901.

With the help of his family Jean opened his jewellery store in the heart of Lyon, France, around the 1930’s, where he worked for the rest of his life. He trained his two sons, and further on his grandson, Jan-Charles, who would eventually take over the family business.Jan-Charles still recalls when his grandfather would tell him “Don’t think about your future, you will be a jeweller!”. Despite having started working for the family business at a young age, upon finishing school at 16, Jan-Charles officially became a jeweller and was set to work right away under the supervision of his father and uncle.Not much has changed in the company over the past 90 years, Jan-Charles has continued his grandfather’s concept: no store, no window displays, just an atelier that takes appointments and meets with clients directly in the atelier. He prides himself and his family on being “pure artisans”. Most of his clients find out about him by word of mouth. But the rest, he says, are all the grandchildren of his grandfather’s clients. This makes him both happy and nostalgic, as he often finds himself mending or re-designing a piece brought in that was made by his grandfather years prior.His atelier is located on Rue Cuvier in Lyon, as it has been since its opening, over 90 years ago, and where it will remain as the business gets passed down throughout the generations.

Hines, J., A New Corpus of Anglo-Saxon Great Square-Headed Brooches, London, 1997, items 11(a) Linton Heath for headplate, 17(b) Rothley, for foot. 82 grams, 11.5 cm (4 1/2 in.).British private collection, acquired by 2000.The meaning of the 'facing mask' motif is probably related to the profile masks so frequently used in Style I art, where the 'pellet' eye is enclosed by an arched frame: the 'facing mask' repeats this motif to produce a pair of eyes in a doubled 'bow'. An element of visual 'riddling' is no doubt present: the design is neither one thing nor the other, but includes elements of both. Distribution of great square-headed brooches was initially concentrated along the valleys of the Rivers Trent, Thames and Severn, though it was later confined to the East Midlands and East Anglia (Hines, 1997, figs. 101, 102).
