Golden Penny for Bravery, awarded to: Thomas Bellamy, 1903, silver with engraved name and date. Note: Extract from The Golden Penny - Two Brave Hoxton Boys receive The “Golden Penny” and Royal Humane Society Medals - In awarding the Silver Medal for Bravery this week to Thomas Bellamy and George Jonas, two schoolboys of Hoxton, the “Golden Penny” is satisfied that the recipients are well worthy not only of this honour, but also of the Bronze Medal of the Royal Humane Society which has been awarded them. These two lads have proved that Hoxton boys are as ready as any others to risk even life itself on behalf of a drowning comrade. One day in June, Charles Flude, a little fellow of eight, while playing on the tow-path of the Regent’s Canal, accidentally fell in and was fast drowning. No grown person being near, and his playmates being too young to help, there seemed no hope of rescue. Young Bellamy, who is only thirteen, and a small boy for his age, came up in the nick of time, and at once throwing off his jacket, sprang into the water. Instantly the drowning boy gripped him by the throat, and both went under, but, freeing himself, Bellamy again tackled the lad, who was now getting weak, and landed him on the bank. Here he at once began restorative treatment according to the system taught at his school, and in a short time was successful. ..... Quite everyday events, some may say. Well, they may be commonplace, but nevertheless they require as much real courage as has gained many a man the Victoria Cross’. Also awarded the Royal Humane Society Medal in Bronze, ref. R.H.S. Case No. 32,664.
Lot 1600
Queen Victoria Indian General Service medal, awarded to 4142 Private William Ross, 4th Battalion Kings Royal Rifle Corps, with North East Frontier 1891 clasp; with copies of service papers. Notes: An interesting man with service in two units with a confessed desertion from the first. Initially joined the Middlesex Regiment as HENRY ROBERT CRAVEN at Hounslow on 21st November 1885 aged 18 years and 7 months having previously served in 4th Middlesex Regt (Reserve). From Marylebone, London (a light porter). He served just 58 days and then deserted on 14th November 1886. Seen rejoining the Kings Royal Rifle Corps at Winchester on 4th May 1887 under the alias of WILLIAM ROSS then aged 19 years and 6 months. Discharged 3rd May 1899 after 5 years service. Clearly the army treated him with great fairness as he clearly lied on his second attestation papers that he had not served in the army before . (A serious offence which could lead to imprisonment) He also declared his next of kin as Walter 'Ross'of 4 Love Grove Road, Kilburn, which we believe was a false address. His family (including brothers Walter and George 'Craven') with father and mother William & Elizabeth Craven, actually lived at 34 Shouldham Street, Edgeware Road, London. (This address still exists !)
