MILITARY MEDALS, THE GREAT WAR, ROYAL NAVY, MEMORIAL PLAQUE, 1914-1918 (Sydney Herbert Matthews). A few light surface marks in places, very fine, toned. Engineer Sydney Herbert Mathews (note spelling) was born c.1875 in Birkenhead, the son of a Captain in the Merchant Navy. He was killed in action at the age of 40 whilst serving aboard the curiously named ‘H.M.S.S.V No.14’ (or Special Service Vessel) with the Royal Naval Reserve. His papers record his death as having taken place 30 June 1915, which appears to confirm beyond a reasonable doubt that he was killed in action aboard the converted passenger ship SS Merion, which later became the ‘dummy’ warship HMS Tiger. At the request of the First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston Churchill, and in response to the loss of HMS Audacious, this vessel was one of a number of large merchant ships which were given the appearance of British warships through a liberal and imaginative use of paint and woodwork. Complete with wood-burning dummy funnels, wooden 12-pounder guns and painted fake bow-waves, these ships were sent out to confuse the German High-Command as to the movements and whereabouts of British ships. Four ships were sent out to give a fake show of strength in the Dardanelles in February 1915, and it was here that the HMS Tiger’ was unfortunately spotted by the German U-Boat UB-8 which successfully hit HMS Tiger with a torpedo just forward of the starboard beam. It caused an explosion which instantly killed two engineers and two fireman – the former of which appears to have included the unfortunate Engineer Sydney Mathews. The ship was soon after abandoned, with 117 survivors being taken to Mudros, and as such this vessel and its 4 casualties were the only losses of the ‘Special Service Squadron’ in action against the enemy, and the losses were kept hidden from the public. Sold with copy service papers (very brief – stating ‘lost in service – Eastern Mediterranean’), copy casualty report, copy image of the ship before and after conversion, and article ‘ Plywood, Canvas and Paint’ concerning the Special Service Squadron.

(3) Gunner Edward William Channon was born 2 March 1895 at Farnham, and enlisted for service with the Royal Marine Artillery 5 January 1914, at Southampton, having previously worked as a Farm Labourer. He served with the RMA throughout WWI, in particular with the Howitzer Brigade from 21 July 1915 onwards. This section of the RMA (the other being anti-aircraft) was to be used in the operation of huge 15-inch howitzers firing high-explosive shells, which were mounted on tractor-drawn platforms. Each gun required no fewer than 60 men to operate, such was their size. Whilst in action on the Western Front, he was admitted to hospital 3 December 1915, with the reason of his wound/sickness unclear, and returned again to duty 16 December that year. His papers show that later in the war, as of 18 July 1919, he was drafted into the 6th Royal Marine Light Infantry Battalion, who were sent to Murmansk to relieve the North Russian garrison. Its objective was to break nearby Bolshevik resistance and to enable a smooth British withdrawal and handover to White Russian forces. However, having served throughout the war and then being sent to North Russia without home leave, after a small number of actions against the enemy, members of this battalion took part in a mutiny, and were returned to England 31 December 1919. Roughly 90 men were court-martialled and sentenced to various severe punishments (including the death sentence), however these were later reduced in most cases. Sold with copy service papers, and some useful research.
