He entered the Navy as a Naval Cadet on 15 July 1884, and obtained the highest number of marks and prizes ever obtained in passing out of Britannia Naval College with four firsts and the Beaufort Testimonial Prize. As part of the Peking Expeditionary Relief Force he served ashore as Staff Officer with the Naval Brigade under Captain Callaghan (also of the Endymion), which brought with them four 12-pounder guns from H.M.S. Terrible. For this Lieutenant Hulbert was mentioned in the despatch of Commander C. Craddock, Commanding British Landing Force, Taku: ‘I would especially remark on the fine examples set by Lieut. E. Charrington of H.M.S. “Alacrity”, and Lieut. R. Hulbert of H.M.S. “ Endymion”, in the firing line, both being worthy of the highest praise.’ Hulbert was later presented with his China medal personally by King Edward VII on 8 March 1902, and specially promoted to Commander for his services in China, 9 November 1903. He was promoted Captain on 31 November 1908, and received the 1911 Coronation medal when Captain of H.M.S. Venus at the Fleet Review. Captain Hulbert died before the outbreak of the Great War, having fallen overboard and drowned on 12 January 1913. This recipient was the only officer from H.M.S. Endymion to receive a medal with two clasps.

Private William Connor was born on 1 December 1876 at Fyzabad in Bengal, India, the son of John Connor, a Private in the 25th Foot (later King’s Own Scottish Borderers) and Marion née Darrach of Islay, Scotland, whom he had met and married in Glasgow before travelling to India. Tragically, John Connor died in the cholera outbreak in Fyzabad in 1877, leaving Marion with four young children, one of whom was William Connor. She remarried within the year to another soldier, Thomas Septimus Woodman. In due course, they returned to Scotland and settled in Glasgow where William was recorded in the 1891 census as a Van Boy. Following in the footsteps of his brother Thomas, William Connor, who had served in the Militia with the Highland Light Infantry, enlisted in the King’s Own Scottish Borderers in November 1893 and served with the Regiment in India from November 1895 to November 1903 and in Burma from November 1903 to November 1905. He was discharged in November 1905 after 12 years with the colours. The Medal is offered with a copy of Private Connor’s service history from the National Archives and of the Roll showing entitlement to the Medal and the two clasps.
