A RIVER PLATE HMS EXETER LSGC GROUP OF SEVEN MEDALS. Awarded to Engine Room Artificer 1V Francis Curnow MX 59983 , later C E R A. 1939/45- Atlantic- Africa- Burma with bar Pacific- Italy Stars. War Medal, all unnamed as issued. QE11 Long Service Good Conduct Medal named to MX 59983 C.E.R.A. F J Curnow HMS Ranpura. Immortalized in the film of the three Cruisers HMS Ajax, Achilles and Exeter, the action against The Graf Spee is well recorded. Francis Curnow was born in August 1919, in Gwennap Cornwall. He enlisted in the Royal Navy a for initially a period of 12 years in May 1939. After training at HMS Drake in August 1939 he was posted to HMS Exeter as a CERA 5. Serving on her from then until 12th April 1940. It was in December 1939 that Force G located and engaged the Graf Spee, thinking it to be The Von Scheer another Pocket Battleship. The Graf Spee opened fire on the three ships, at 19,000 yards. Her 11" Guns out ranged those of the Cruisers and the opening salvos were very accurate. Of the three ships HMS Exeter received the most hits and straddles, though they continued to fight back. Her return fire caused the actual damage that sealed the fate of the Graf Spee. A shell penetrated two decks and severely damaged her fuel supply, necessitating repairs in a friendly port. Instead Graf Spee turned to sink Exeter, but was again engaged by Ajax and Achilles. She turned away and came upon a British Merchantman, who's crew refused to leave the ship. Radioing by her call sign, Force G realised she was actually Graf Spee. She limped into Montevideo and thus into history. A badly damaged HMS Exeter sailed for the nearest port for massive repairs. After many postings shown on his Certificate of Service, CERA Curnow served on HMS Ranpura from 10/5/1953 until the 16/7/1955. HMS Ranpura an Armed Merchant Cruiser, sister ship of the famous HMS Rawlpindi. Later when the war ended converted to a repair ship, serving as a Fleet Depot Ship until 1961.

PAUL CHABAS (FRENCH 1869 - 1937), THE LILY watercolour heightened with white on paper, signed 50cm x 38.5cm Framed and under glass Note: Paul Chabas was born in Nantes, and trained under William-Adolphe Bouguereau and Tony Robert-Fleury. He first exhibited at the Salon in 1890. Chabas won the Prix National at the 1899 Paris Salon with his Joyeux Ébats. He was awarded a gold medal at the Exposition Universelle of 1900 and in 1912 received the Médaille d'honneur. His preferred subject was the female nude in a natural setting. He was, and still is, considered to be one of Europe's greatest painters of nudes.His most famous painting, September Morn (1912), became a "Succès de scandale" in the United States in May, 1913. There was much publicity, and reproductions of the painting sold briskly for years afterwards. Chabas said he did not originally intend to sell the painting, because it was his wife's favorite. When he entered the painting in the Paris Salon of 1912, he set a price of $10,000, which he believed no one would pay. Leon Mantashev, son of oil magnate Alexander Mantashev, was willing to meet this price, and the painting was sold to him. In the 1890s, Chabas had illustrated books by such authors as Paul Bourget and Alfred de Musset. He also did some illustrating work for the French publisher Alphonse Lemerre. He became a member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts in 1921 and received the Légion d'honneur in 1928. From 1925 to 1935 he was president of the Société des Artistes Français. He died in Paris on May 10, 1937 and it was reported at the time that US buyers alone had purchased more that seven million reproductions of his paintings.
