A Large Silver Snuff Box & Royal Naval Reserve Decoration attributed to Captain Edward James Minister, Mercantile Marine, comprising: Royal Naval Reserve Decoration, G.V.R., unnamed, reverse bearing hallmarks for London dated 1916; Silver Snuff Box, silver, by Stokes & Ireland Ltd, circular, lid engraved ‘Capt. E.J. Minister from W.E.J. Sept. 1901’, lid and interior bearing hallmarks for London dated 1901, and maker’s mark ‘S.I.Ld’, 84mm diameter x 30mm depth, 94.87g, snuff box with small edge bumps, a few marks, and some polishing, medal very fine. This lot offered with a copy Council of Trade Certificate of Competency as Second Mate to Edward James Minister, dated 28 August 1890 and with an original photograph of the officers of S.M.S. Nürnberg, a note on the reverse giving the location as Zanzibar. Captain Edward James Minister was born at Cardigan, South Wales, in 1870. He qualified for the Merchant Marine on 28 August 1890 and appears on the Navy List that and every subsequent year until 1939. He joined the Royal Naval Reserve as a Sub-Lieutenant on 5 April 1897 and was promoted Lieutenant on 20 December 1898 and Lieutenant Commander on 20 December 1906. He married at Swansea in 1899 and was awarded the Royal Naval Reserve Decoration in 1915. He travelled very widely during his career, particularly to the West Indies. He died in Autumn 1939. The photograph of the officers S.M.S. Nürnberg is annotated as being taken at Zanzibar and we can thus date it to March 1910 when the ship was on its way from Germany to join the German East Asia Fleet. The Nürnberg was sunk at the Battle of the Falkland Islands on 8 December 1914, all but seven of her crew of 322 being lost.

*Indian Distinguished Service Medal, G.V.R. 1st type (1446 Havdr: Barkat Shah 51st Sikhs (F.F.)), some contact marks & light pitting, nearly very fine. M.i.D.: London Gazette, 19 October 1916 (Indian Expeditionary Force ‘D’ – Mesopotamia). The 51st Sikhs were present during the Mesopotamia Campaign and were based at Ali Gharbi. Half of the 51st Sikhs were used in the attempted but ultimately unsuccessful Relief of Kut, where the 51st Sikhs’ commanding officer Lieutenant-Colonel William Beadon was killed during the ‘action of the Wadi’ on 13 January 1916 in the face of fierce Ottoman resistance, along with Captain Hunter Forbes and Major P E Knapp. It seems plausible that his M.i.D. (and potentially also the I.D.S.M.) relate to this action.

*U.S.A., A Presidential Gold Life Saving Medal of Australian interest, engraved “TO J. HENDERSON of the Newcastle Volunteer Life-Saving Crew, in recognition of his heroic services in effecting the rescue, Sept. 27” 1909, of the Captain and his wife and the crew of the American schooner ALPENA.”, with reverse of suspension clasp and edge of medal marked ’22 Ct.; light hairlines and small surface grazes behind head and to neck of portrait, otherwise extremely fine. The wreck of the Alpena on 25 September 1909, off the coast of New South Wales, Australia, is described in detail in the article ‘Two Brave Italians’ by Paul Street (L.S.A.R.S. Journal No.57). The four-masted schooner Alpena was en route from Melbourne to Newcastle to collect a shipment of coal when it was hit by a very severe gale near ‘Nobbys’. In her attempt to make port with the help of the tug Levert, a squall parted the line between them, leaving her stranded. A pilot steamer, Ajax, under Captain Richard Page, then towed out the Newcastle lifeboat Victoria, under Coxswain Antonio Costa, to assist in saving the lives of the greatly endangered crew. First saving the life of the Captain’s wife, with some difficulty, the lifeboat was towed back to save the crew. Bringing 23 crew on board, the lifeboat was capsized twice by huge waves, throwing 20 of the 23 back into the water. From this, the lifeboat recovered 13 people, and the Ajax a further 6. For their efforts, some 14 Presidential Gold Lifesaving Medals were awarded to the lifesaving crews by President William Taft, including J Henderson, whose name is confirmed in the article. Rescue crew members later described this event as the worst night of their lives. Offered with copied research, including the above article in full. The medal was included previously in our auction of 27 June 2016 (lot 392) but is now re-offered due to default.
