Fine Gallantry Medal Group relating to John Hampson SNR and JNR, comprising Edward VII Sea Gallantry Medal (large type) bronze issue, named to John Hampson. Wreck of the ‘‘Wild Rose’’ on the 3rd September 1902, Royal Naval Reserve Long Service and Good Conduct Medal named to D571 J. Hampson. SEA.n. R.N.R., Edward VII Edward Medal (Mines) bronze issue, named to John Hampson and First World War Memorial (Death) Plaque named to John Hamilton Hampson (the son of John Hampson). Together with copies of photographs and newspaper cuttings detailing John Hampson's remarkable story. The Hampson family who hailed from Cumbria had a remarkable history as John Hampson’s obituary in the Cumberland Times detailed. ‘‘Hampson’s father like himself, was a fine swimmer and saved many persons from drowning. It is stated in fact that father and son between them saved fully a hundred lives in that way.’’ His first gallantry award came in 1897, when John Hampson was awarded the Royal Humane Society’s certificate, after he saved a girl from drowning in Whitehaven harbour. The award of the Sea Gallantry medal followed a few years later, when in September 1902 he saved a woman from the wreck of the ship ‘‘Wild Rose’’ off Maryport, swimming out at great personal risk, and bringing her ashore on his back. A change in careers brought John Hampson to the Cumbrian Mines and his bravery was once again called upon, when in 1910 he was involved with the rescue efforts at the Wellington Pit disaster. On 11 th May 1910, at about 7.30pm, miners reported air rushing out of the shaft, an indication that there had been an explosion in the mine. This was subsequently confirmed as the main route out of the mine for the men working underground was blocked by fallen debris and the subsequent fire. 136 miners were trapped, and then began a desperate rescue attempt, as rescuers battled through the night and well into the following day to try to reach to the trapped miners. Eventually the regional mines inspector ordered them to pull out, as he believed it was unlikely that anyone would have survived the explosion and subsequent fire and, despite strong opposition from some of the miners involved in the rescue operation, he ordered that the area should be sealed off to starve the fire of oxygen. For his gallant efforts in trying to rescue the trapped miners during the Wellington Pit Disaster John Hampson was awarded the Edward Medal. The medal is awarded to people who have shown exceptional bravery in industrial rescues. 64 were awarded after the Wellington Pit disaster which is the most ever awarded in a single incident. The Edward Mines medal is one of the rarest gallantry medals with only 77 silver and 318 bronze medals ever awarded, making it rarer even than a Victoria Cross. The First World War touched the Hampson family, when John Hampson’s only son, John Hamilton Hampson was killed at the age of 19. The chaplain wrote to his parents following his death ‘‘a sad little note to tell of how a brave and dear son has given his all - his life after being wounded for the salvation of the Empire’’. John Hampson senior’s remarkable life came to an end when he passed away from pneumonia aged just 57. One final tribute came from his fellow deputies from the mine, performing the task of bearers for his coffin.
