To the interior pocket is the original tailors label which is named “H A Corbett” and dated 8.10.60. Remains in good condition. Hugh Askew Corbett was born in Stepney on 25th June 1916. His father was a Reverent who died of the Spanish Flu in 1919. He was educated at St Edmunds, Canterbury. In 1933 he joined the Royal Navy. His obituary gives the following details “At the outbreak of war Corbett was junior hand in Impulsive, but was soon appointed first lieutenant of Brazen. He was due to leave her to take a course in torpedo and anti-submarine warfare, but insisted on staying at sea. On 15 April 1940, while escorting a landing force to Harstad during the Norwegian campaign, Brazen and her fellow destroyer Fearless attacked the German submarine U-49. Five depth charges were dropped and the U-boat burst to the surface . All but one of the 42-man crew were saved, and while engaged in the rescue work Brazen picked up papers which gave the entire U-boat disposition for the German invasion of Norway. Corbett was mentioned in despatches. After Brazen was sunk off Dover by German aircraft on July 20 1940, Corbett served briefly as first lieutenant in the Hunt-class Tyndale, and in June 1941 he joined the newly-built Lookout, which took part in Arctic convoys, in Operation Ironclad (the occupation of Madagascar) and Operation Pedestal (to resupply Malta). Under a new commanding officer, in May 1943 Corbett took part in Operation Retribution, which prevented the escape by sea of German forces from North Africa to Sicily . Only a few hundred Germans escaped the blockade, and Corbett was awarded a DSC. In September 1943 Corbett was given command of Wheatland, and was at the Allied landings at Salerno until deployed to the Adriatic. On the night of November 1 1944, Corbett was in command of the Hunt-class destroyer Wheatland, leading the destroyer Avon Vale northwards through the shipping lanes inshore of the island of Lussino in the northern Adriatic. His mission was to prevent the evacuation of German troops from Dalmatia, and, keeping his ships hidden against the shadow of the land, he was watching carefully over the Quarnerolo Channel when he spotted two German corvettes, UJ-205 and UJ-208. Increasing to full speed, and lighting the channel with star shell, Corbett opened fire with four-inch guns at 4,000 yards, and in a fierce exchange quickly reduced one corvette to a wreck and blew up the other. Avon Vale had stopped to pick up survivors when a third German ship, the ex-Italian torpedo boat-destroyer TA-20, rounded a headland and opened fire before turning to flee. Corbett gave chase, and in a running fight sank TA-20. The action was over in half an hour, and 71 German survivors were pulled from the water that night and 20 more the next day. Corbett was awarded a DSO. He continued to serve in the Royal Navy during the post war years, being awarded the CBE in 1968. He retired from the Navy in 1969 and died in April 2012.

Royal National Life Boat Institution Bronze Life Saving Medal Sennan Cove Lifeboat 1920. A George V Bronze example awarded to 'ERNEST GEORGE VOTED 9TH JANUARY 1920'. Accompanied by original case. Ernest George was a crewman on the Sennen Cove Cornwall Lifeboat. On the 29th November, 1919, a naval motor launch was driven on to the Longships Reef, where a furious sea was breaking. A heavy gale was blowing, and the Sennen Cove Lifeboat put out at once to the helpless launch. The crew, as a last hope, were taking to the dinghy; but she capsized almost at once, and the nine men aboard were thrown into the breaking water. four of them managed to get aboard the launch again, and the other five were left struggling in the sea. Fortunately, the Life-boat was just in time to save four of them, but the fifth was drowned before she could reach him. Meanwhile the launch, with the other four aboard, had been smashed to pieces, and the men were left clinging to the rocks, with the seas breaking furiously over them. There was only one way of reaching them. The anchor was got up, and the Life-boat was worked through a gap in the reef. There she was carefully manoeuvred close under the rocks, the four men dragged on board with life-lines, and the Life-boat got safely away. The slightest mistake during the work of rescue would have meant disasterÑthe certain loss of the crew of the launch, of the Lifeboat, and of all the Life-boat men. But no mistake was made, and a most gallant and skilful rescue was successfully accomplished. Two Silver and 12 Bronze Medals were awarded.
