Indian Mutiny 1857-59, no clasp (Mr. G, H, Kearney. Volunteer) nearly extremely fine £300-£400 --- Whilst this medal is correct in all respects, it is unclear exactly where Kearney came under fire. The Directories place him around Meerut and the Etawah and Aligarh Districts at the time of the Mutiny but the medal rolls fail to mention him. It is known that small groups of resourceful Indigo Planters and other growers joined together roaming through these districts looking for safe haven. George Henry Kearney was born on 22 April 1829, at Nasirabad, son of James Kearney, Gunner, 3rd Company, 4th Battalion Bombay Artillery and his wife Ann. He had enlisted in 1808 stating he was a labourer from Tullakean, County Down, for a period of 7 years. He served for 24 years before joining the Bombay reserve corps 1st Company Artillery Invalids in 1832, with further reserve service in the Invalid Veteran Company to 11 November 1841. He was struck off for Europe on 1 October 1845, an impressive 37 years service albeit much in the reserves. Kearney's adult life from the Directories and Mofussil lists show him firstly living at Hauper, a sub-district of Meerut, from 1849 to 1854. In 1852 it is noted he bought seedlings from the Botanical Gardens of the North West Provinces showing he resided at Goojranwalla, now in modern day Pakistan. In 1859 he resided at Aligarh being the Officiating Superintendent of Roads confirmed by his payment of subscriptions to “The Engineer's Journal and Railway and Public Works Chronicle of India and the Colonies”. In 1862 he is listed as an Indigo Planter at Bholee Plantation, Etawah and also a committee member to promote the objects of the provincial exhibition. In 1875 he was the Assistant at the Muloye Indigo factory Aligarh. While Kearney states he was an Indigo planter, his later writings indicate he was equally at home with the growing of cotton and coffee. This was partly due to the 1859 Indigo Revolt. The growing of Indigo forced by planters on land rented by the local peasants, or Ryots, from the land owning Zamindars had a devastating effect on both planters and growers alike. With the Ryots growing no food for their families both growers and planters had to diversify into food and other commodities. In 1863 Kearney was brought before a committee with respect to “cotton” growing in the Doab and the lack of water being distributed to the growers. His solution was to place the revenue from the Ganges Canal into the hands of the Collector which the Zamindars, who did not attend, thought a very bad idea. A. O. Hume, Commissioner of the district, stated that Indigo growing in and around the Etawah and Aligarh districts had declined considerably in favour of cotton and other profitable commodities. Kearney was a regular contributor and member of the Asiatic Society with learned articles on such subjects as the “Mode of destroying the Cotton Bole Worm”. Other contributions were to the Magazine of Natural History with respect to Butterflies found at the Berkodee Coffee-Estates at Mysore and to the Bombay Natural History Society. Further he was a Correspondent of the Indian Museum. In 1860 he married Arabella Frances, aged 14, at Chunar the daughter of Charles Hurley, Assistant Apothecary to the 31st Regiment, stating that he was an Indigo Planter at Aligarh. He had two daughters namely Arabella Frances Hurley who became the Principal of St. John's School, Dalhousie, Punjab (died 1890) and Kathleen Antoinette Isabella. Kearney died on 2 July 1900, of hyperpyrexia and is buried at Agra Cantonment Cemetery.

The outstanding Great War ‘River Tigris’ operations D.S.O. group of four awarded to Lieutenant-Commander Mark Singleton, Royal Navy, who accomplished the remarkable feat in his small armed tug of bringing to surrender a body of about 11 officers and 250 Turkish troops; indeed it was the opinion of the official historian of the campaign that greater daring than Singleton’s cool audacity could hardly be imagined Distinguished Service Order, G.V.R., silver-gilt and enamels, with integral top riband bar; 1914-15 Star (Lieut. M. Singleton. R.N.); British War and Victory Medals, with M.I.D. oak leaves (Lt. Commr. M. Singleton. R.N.) contained in an old leather case, good very fine (4) £4,000-£5,000 --- Importation Duty This lot is subject to importation duty of 5% on the hammer price unless exported outside the UK --- --- Provenance: Dix Noonan Webb, September 2016. D.S.O. London Gazette 13 September 1915: ‘For his services during the advance from Qurnah and capture of Amara at the beginning of June 1915. Lieutenant Singleton was in command of the armed launch Shaitan, and displayed great skill and energy in pursuit of the enemy gunboat Mamariss and other craft. He went ahead of the main force through Amara in a gallant manner, and performed the remarkable feat in his small armed tug of bringing to surrender a body of about 11 officers and 250 Turkish troops, whom he had intercepted, and causing a large number to retire, thus largely contributing to the surrender of the town.’ M.I.D. London Gazette 21 January 1916; 5 April 1916; and 21 September 1917. Mark Singleton was born in Theale Wedmore, Somerset, on 24 June 1887, and entered the Royal Navy as a cadet in Britannia in May 1902. Advanced to Sub. Lieutenant in May 1907 and to Lieutenant in December 1909, he was serving in the base ship H.M.S. Espiegle in the Persian Gulf on the outbreak of hostilities in August 1914, and was subsequently employed with naval units co-operating with military forces in Mesopotamia. By May 1915 the Turks had been driven from the lower reaches of the Tigris, and in order that the Navy might render assistance to the Army in following them up, a number of flat bottomed tug boats were commandeered and commissioned as H.M. Ships for use on the river. One of these, the Shaitan, was placed under Singleton’s command. Crewed by eight men, his boat was armed with a 12-pounder quick-firing gun in her bows and a smaller gun aft. Advancing from Qurnah in June, the Shaitan, due to Singleton’s skilful boat handling, got ahead of the other small craft, and reached a point three miles south of Amara on her own. As she entered the reach of the river immediately below the town, which was situated on the east bank, large numbers of enemy troops were seen crossing the river to the western bank by a bridge of boats and getting into a barge secured to the Turkish gun boat Mamarris. The bridge of boats was then opened, the enemy gun boat clearly going to depart up river. Singleton immediately opened fire with the 12-pounder, causing the troops to abandon the barge for a safer spot on the west bank. Shaitan then steamed on and as she passed through the bridge of boats found the town was occupied in force. Half a battalion of Turks, moving through the streets to the river front, smartly retreated. Around the next bend on both banks yet more troops were retiring from the Shaitan which was in effect surrounded. The Turks held their fire for fear of drawing the attention of Shaitan’s 12-pounder, and she continued upstream for about half a mile, whence Singleton called on a party of about two hundred Turks with six officers to surrender. The Bluejacket’s disarmed them and, taking their weapons on board, compelled them to march down river abreast of the tug. On the way back to Amara, Singleton took more prisoners, who emerged from trees and threw down their arms; and, unattended, the sorry Turkish party obediently walked to the now deserted town where they sat down by a coffee shop and awaited the arrival of British troops. Thus Singleton, at the expenditure of only two or three shells, captured 250 Turkish troops and 11 officers and contributed largely to the evacuation of Amara by 2000 troops. It was the opinion of the official historian of the campaign that greater daring than the Singleton’s cool audacity could hardly be imagined. He was awarded the D.S.O. Having taken part in further advances up river over the course of the next three months, and been mentioned in despatches, Singleton, due to heavy casualties and sickness, became the Senior Naval Officer on the Tigris although only 26 years of age. And in February 1916, he was given command of the 98-ton gunboat Stonefly, in which capacity he was twice mentioned in despatches for further actions on the Tigris and the Euphrates. Returning home in January 1918, he was invested with his D.S.O. at Buckingham Palace that March and saw out the War with the Harwich Force in command of the destroyer Patrician. Placed on the Retired List on account of ill-health in December 1923, the gallant Singleton died on 21 December 1952. Sold with copied research, including record of service and extracts from Deeds that Thrill the Empire, and Tigris Gunboats by Vice-Admiral Wilfrid Nunn.
