Edward Medal (Mines), G.V.R., 2nd type, bronze (Robert Johnston.), nearly extremely fine, in case of issue E.M. London Gazette 20.10.1931 Robert Johnston, Collier, Hedley Pit, jointly listed with 18 others, 'On the 29th September, 1930, a fall of roof occured in the Hedley Pit, South Moor, County Durham, particularly burying a hewer, Frederick Beaumont. A chargeman, Victor King, was the first to come to the rescue. He found that a small passage-way remained open by which the buried man might be reached and, with the assistance of his son Richard and John George Tarn, he immediately built two chocks of timber to keep it open. The passage was seven yards long and about two feet square and the only practicable method of rescue was for the three men to crawl along the passage-way and lie full length, two in the passage-way and one over Beaumont's body, and pass back, one at a time, the stones that were pinning him down.This perilous and arduous work was carried on for nine hours by a team of miners (including Victor King) working in relays under the direction of the manager (Walter Robert Scott) and the under-manager (Robert Reed) until at last Beaumont was released, shaken but otherwise uninjured. During the whole nine hours the roof was shifting and "trickling" and on four occasions Beaumont was almost freed when a further fall buried him again. At one time the danger of a further fall appeared so great that the manager telephoned for a doctor (Dr. Charles James Brookfield Fox) to come to the pit to amputate Beaumont's leg and so expedite his release. Fortunately - as it turned out - the doctor found it impossible to amputate in the restricted area in which Beaumont was confined, but he remained on the scene until Beaumont was rescued and examined and treated him before sending him to the surface.Shortly after Beaumont was extricated the whole of the tunnel collapsed.'Subject to 20% VAT on Buyer’s Premium.

He reached the bottom and shouted back that the other man was in a bad way and that he (Mallinson) was feeling queer and was coming back up. He collapsed on the way. A third miner who had remained at the top summoned assistance, and three volunteers, including Gibson and Miller, went to the scene. Getting no response to their calls, without hesitation, although the danger must have been apparent, Gibson, closely followed by Miller, set off down the ladder, leaving the third volunteer at the top. This man, on receiving a signal from Miller attempted to raise the hoist, but it would not function. By the time further rescue workers arrived no replies could be obtained from the men who had descended the shaft.The actions of Mallinson, in descending the shaft to the help of the sick man, and of Gibson and Miller, who went down to help both, were in the highest traditions of the mining industry.'1 of 5 Edward Medals (Mines), G.VI.R., 2nd type, bronze awarded.Subject to 20% VAT on Buyer’s Premium.

A Fine Edward Medal (Industry) and Order of Industrial Heroism Group of Three to Wilfred Beasley, For His Gallant Attempts to Save Life, Despite Having to Battle Against Temperatures of Up to 3,000 Degrees Centigrade, During A Factory Explosion in Widnes, 16.11.1946a) Edward Medal (Industry), G.VI.R, 1st type, bronze (Wilfred Beasley, High Speed Alloys Ltd. Widnes, 16th Nov. 1946)b) Liverpool Shipwreck and Humane Society General Medal, silver (To Wilfred Beasley, For Gallant Service, 16/11/1946.), with integral top riband bucklec) Daily Herald Order of Industrial Heroism (To Wilfred Beasley 23rd January 1947), generally very fine, all in cases of issue (3) E.M. London Gazette 11.3.1947 Wilfred Beasley, Process Chargehand, High Speed Alloys Ltd, 'On the 16th November, 1946, an explosion, followed by fire, occurred in the ferro-mixing department of High Speed Alloys, Limited, Widnes. In this department there is a platform above the row of mixers; the charges are introduced into the mixers by tipping from steel barrows into hopper openings on the platform; the barrows are lifted from the floor position on the platform by an overhead crane, the base of the cabin of which passes about six feet above the hoppers. At the time of the accident Edward Nolan aged 17 was driving the crane and was in the act of hoisting a barrow of Wolframite when a sheet of flame shot out from the hopper, enveloping the cabin and setting fire to his clothing. He attempted to move the crane back to an access platform at the end of the shop but the crane stopped a few feet short. Intense thermit reaction went on inside the mixer; the temperature of such a reaction is estimated at between 2,000-3,000 degrees centrigrade. The room speedily filled with smoke and everything in the neighbourhood of the mixer was set on fire.Wilfred Beasley, aged 53, a process chargehand, realising that the charge mixer had exploded, and fearing for the safety of other workmen, rushed into the mixing room only to be driven back by fire and fumes. He re-entered the building through a side door and hearing cries for help groped his way to the approach ladder leading to the crane landing stage. At the fourth attempt he succeeded in reaching the landing stage some 15 feet from the ground and by holding on to a support by one hand succeeded in locating the crane cabin, which with a considerable effort he pulled to within two feet of its berth. He found Nolan in the cabin and with great difficulty managed to bring him halfway down the approach ladder, when frantic with his injuries Nolan struggled violently and fell, being caught by someone at the base of the ladder. Apart from the risk of falling which was intensified by dense smoke, there was also the risk of burns; the rescuer was exposed to danger for a period of about 10 minutes, and was temporarily overcome when he reached the ground.Nolan died later in hospital of his injuries. At the inquest the Coroner complimented Beasley on his gallant action.'Beasley was also presented with the Daily Herald Order of Industrial Heroism at Widnes, 23.1.1947. He received a certificate and medal from the Liverpool Shipwreck and Humane Society; and his Managing Director presented him with a gold watch, and his wife with a cheque.Subject to 20% VAT on Buyer’s Premium.

Second Award Bar London Gazette 23.5.1944 Acting Captain John Henry Jauncey, D.S.O., Royal Navy (Retired)'For outstanding courage, resolution, leadership, skill or devotion to duty in operations which led to successful landings on the Italian mainland and at Salerno.'The Recommendation, dated 24.12.1943, states: 'For skill, gallantry, and devotion to duty as Commanding Officer of H.M.S. Palomares during operations in the Mediterranean. The Palomares took part in the initial Torch operation. She was bombed and damaged on 9th November, 1942 off Algiers and suffered many casualties. Her steering gear was put out of action and fire started. Despite this gun crews continued firing and the ship was finally brought into Algiers harbour. After repairs in the U.K. Palomares returned to the Mediterranean where she has been continuously employed as an Anti-Aircraft ship for through Mediterranean convoys. Palomares took part in Avalanche, operating as Fire Defence and Anti-Aircraft ship for the Southern Attack Force. She claims four aircraft shot down during this operation.'Captain John Henry Jauncey, D.S.O., (1889-1958), was born in Eastbourne, Sussex, the son of Commander H.H. Jauncey, R.N. and Blanche Pringle, and was educated at H.M.S. Britannia. Appointed Midshipman, 15.9.1905, he served before the Great War in H.M.S. Triumph and later in H.M.S. Swiftsure. Commissioned Sub-Lieutenant, 30.12.1908, he was promoted Lieutenant, 22.6.1911, serving in H.M.S. Blenheim. During the Great War he served in the Dover Patrol, escorting the convoys of ships backwards and forwards to France supplying the British Armies on the Western Front, and received his first command, H.M.S. Flying Fish, 24.10.1915, transferring to the torpedo boat P.12, 10.2.1916. In December 1916, whilst in command of the P.12 and on escort duty he helped save the life of a number of the crew of the French Destroyer Yatagan after she had collided with H.M.S. Teviot in thick fog during the night of 3-4.12.1916 off the coast of Dieppe, for which he was awarded the Naval Life Saving Medal by the French Government in appreciation of services rendered.Promoted Lieutenant-Commander, 2.6.1919, Jauncey continued to serve in Destroyers, before being appointed Officer Instructor, East Scottish Division, R.N.V.R., 15.8.1927, he retired with the rank of Commander, 15.4.1932. On the outbreak of the Second World War he was called back to the Navy, and in the summer of 1940 was appointed to the command of H.M.S. Versatile (Destroyer). 'Her role was to escort the coal convoys supplying English power stations from Methil in the Firth of Forth to Sheerness in the Thames Estuary. This involved passing through the notorious 'E' boat Alley off the East Anglian coast where these German high speed motor torpedo boats based in Holland and Belgium as well as aircraft attacked these convoys. The Versatile saw a fair amount of action and the newspapers recorded that on one occasion she shot down a Messerschmitt fighter/bomber hitting it full in the nose. This class of destroyer required to have her boilers cleaned regularly to maintain her performance and during boiler cleans short leave was usually granted to the ship's company. This created a problem because there were a number of Glaswegians on board who reckoned that a spell in jail for desertion was a more comfortable form of existence than life on the mess-deck of a 1918 destroyer in the North Sea. The normal drill was that deserters were brought back to the ship, then court-martialled and duly sent to Barlinnie. The ship was very short-handed and the loss of every man threw an extra burden on the remainder of the crew. Jauncey therefore decided to solve the problem in his own way. When a deserter was brought back to the ship instead of passing him on for court-martial he had him secured to a stanchion in the mess-deck by a long chain enduring the taunts and insults of his messmates. As soon as the ship left harbour he was released. This unorthodox treatment which could have got him into severe trouble with the authorities was most effective and deserters ceased to present a problem.' (Account written by the recipient's son refers).Convoy P.Q.17Appointed to the command of H.M.S. Palomares (Anti-Aircraft ship), with the acting rank of Captain, 30.4.1941, Jauncey spent the next year based in the Irish Sea, escorting convoys between Belfast and Milford Haven, and providing anti-aircraft fire cover. In early June 1942 the Palomares sailed for Seydisfiord in Iceland and on the 27th June she was sailed from Hvalfiord, attached to a convoy of 34 merchant ships destined for Archangel. The Russian convoy routes, in contrast to the complete freedom of movement of the Atlantic routes, were restricted to the east and south by an enemy-occupied coastline and to the west and north by ice. The convoys themselves were subject to attack by surface forces over a large part of their 2,000-mile passage, to air attack for 1,400 miles, and to U-boat attack throughout their entire run. The severe Arctic weather added to their navigational difficulties during winter months, and they ran a greater risk of attack between March and September owing to the continuous daylight. The convoy escort consisted of 6 destroyers, 4 corvettes, 3 minesweepers, 4 trawlers, 2 anti-aircraft ships and 2 submarines. The convoy was first spotted by enemy aircraft and U-boats on the 1st July, and therefore was shadowed and attacked continuously. On the 4th July the Admiralty inexplicably ordered the convoy to scatter, the consequences of which were disastrous, leading ultimately to 23 of the 34 merchant ships which had left Iceland being sunk, with the loss in material amounting to 3350 vehicles, 430 tanks, and 210 aircraft. The Palomares reached the Matochkin Strait in Nova Zemlaya, some 500 miles NE of Archangel where she was joined by a number of other ships which had survived. After some days a small convoy with Jauncey as the senior officer of the escort sailed for Archangel. They came under heavy air attack and two more out of the five merchant ships in the convoy were sunk. By the time the Palomares reached Archangel she had virtually expended all her ammunition, as had all the other escorts, and four destroyers had to be sent out from the United Kingdom with ammunition for the escorts to make the return journey. Churchill called the episode 'one of the most melancholy naval episodes in the whole of the War.' The Palomares spent two months in Archangel and finally returned to Belfast in September 1942. For his 'bravery and resolution in the face of relentless attack by enemy aircraft and submarines', Jauncey was awarded the Distinguished Service Order.Operation 'Avalanche'In late October the Palomares sailed to the Mediterranean to take part in Operation 'Torch', the joint British/American landing in French North Africa, 7.11.1942. While stationed off the Tunisian coast she was hit astern by a bomb which caused a number of casualties, a fire which raged for several hours, and damage to her steering gear. She limped into Algiers where temporary repairs were effected which enabled her to return to Tilbury in early 1943 for permanent repairs. She returned to the Mediterranean in time for Operation 'Avalanche', the Allied landings at Salerno, south of Naples, 9.9.1943, where she provided anti-aircraft fire, and was heavily engaged with German aircraft during the landings. For his 'outstanding courage, resolution, leadership skill and devotion to duty' Jauncey was awarded a Second Award Bar to his Distinguished Service Order. He also received the thanks of the Commander of the United States Naval Forces, Admiral H.K. Hewitt, who wrote: 'Your outstanding performance of duty as Commanding Officer of H.M.S. Palomares during the amphibious invasion of Italy is worthy of the highest praise. Your command, which was assigned as a unit in the Attack Force to provide anti-aircraft protection for the flagship of the Task Force Commander and other ships of the Control Group, performed its task in a highly satisfactory and effective manner. You handled your ship expertly and directed heavy, accurate fire on all attacking enemy planes throughout the critical period of the assault operations. You contributed materially to the defense against continuing enemy air attack on shipping which was vital to the support of the invasion forces. I wish to express my appreciation of your dependable services and great assistance in bringing these operations to a successful conclusion.'The Palomares remained in the Mediterranean and took part in Operation 'Shingle', the landings at Anzio, 22.1.1944, where she was mined and once again severely damaged.In July 1944 Jauncey was appointed Captain at Greenock, a shore-based appointment which gave him command of the Clyde Escort Force which consisted of destroyers and other escort vessels escorting convoys from and to the Atlantic, and appointment he held for the rest of the War. On the conclusion of hostilities he served for a further 14 months, first as Naval Officer in Charge, Falmouth, and then as Captain of the battle cruiser H.M.S. Renown which was used as an accommodation ship at Plymouth, finally retiring with the rank of Captain, 8.10.1946.Sub-Lieutenant Charles Eliot, Baron Jauncey of Tullichettle, (1925-2007), was born in Edinburgh, the son of Captain J.H. Jauncey and Muriel Dundas, and was educated at Radley and Christ Church, Oxford. Commissioned Sub-Lieutenant, Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, 8.5.1945, he served during the Second World War in H.M.S. ML.879. Called to the Scottish Bar in 1949, he was employed as standing junior counsel to the Scottish Ministry of Works in Coronation Year 1953. Appointed a Queen's Counsel in 1963, he became a Senator of the College of Justice in Scotland in 1979, and a Lord of Appeal in Ordinary (Law Lord) in 1988. Lord Jauncey also served as a Member of the Queen's Bodyguard for Scotland from 1951, and as Kintyre Pursuivant of Arms for 16 years from 1955.For the medals awarded to Commander H.H.

A Rare Great War 'Konigsberg' D.S.M. to Stoker 2nd Class R. Thompson, H.M.S. Mersey, Royal NavyDistinguished Service Medal, G.V.R. (SS105721. R. Thompson, Sto.2Cl. H.M.S. Mersey.), edge bruising, good very fine D.S.M. London Gazette 8.12.1915 Stoker (2nd Class) Richard Thompson, O.N. 105721, H.M.S. Mersey'In recognition of services on the occasion of the operations against the "Konigsberg".'At the outbreak of the First World War the German light cruiser Konigsberg was based at Dar-es-Salaam, German East Africa. On the 31st July 1914, she left harbour prepared for a long period at sea. For six days she was lost to sight, but on the 6th August she captured the steamship City of Winchester bound from Colombo to England with a cargo of tea valued at £250,000. The prize was escorted to Makalla, on the Arabian coast, where her passengers were transferred to the armed German merchantman Zieten. Her coal and stores were shared between the two German ships and the City of Winchester was scuttled.The Konigsberg again disappeared, this time for about seven weeks until on the 20th September she appeared off Zanzibar and destroyed H.M.S. Pegasus, which was undergoing boiler repairs in the port. It was not until nearly another seven weeks had elapsed that she was reported by H.M.S. Chatham to be lying in a branch of the Rufiji River, screened by the forest. In order to prevent her escape the steamship Newbridge was sunk across the channel. Meanwhile the crew of the Konigsberg posted snipers and machine-guns in the jungle to hold off a land attack. An aeroplane was brought into use and was successful in directing the British gunners so that they were able to shell the ship at long range. Shortly after it had performed this service it was shot down by the Germans.The destruction of the ship proved a tough proposition and the cruisers H.M.S. Weymouth, Fox, Cornwall, Pyramus, and Pioneer were employed in the blockade at various times. She was eventually destroyed by the monitors H.M.S. Mersey and Severn, sent from Malta. On the 6th July 1915, the bombardment by these ships began, aided by four seaplanes as spotters, and on the 11th July the Konigsberg was destroyed. The survivors of her crew escaped into the jungle and united with the German East African force.Subject to 20% VAT on Buyer’s Premium.
