Watts. ..th Lancers’, the four clasps for Alma, Balaklava, Inkermann and Sebastopol mounted around the circumference, reverse with pin fitting, ‘17’ obscured by solder deposit, bright cleaned, otherwise very fine £300-£500 --- James Watts, Private, No. 1153, 17th Lancers, was severely wounded at Balaklava, 25 October 1854, and is confirmed in all sources as a participant of the charge of the Light Brigade. Note: An impressed 4-clasp medal named to ‘J. Watts’ is recorded by the noted collector E. E. Needes as having been offered by auction at Debenham’s on 2 June 1905, and re-offered on the 30th of the same month. The same medal was sold by Glendining’s on 12 December 1918, 28 March 1924, and 21 October 1927. Needes was of the opinion that this ‘impressed’ medal was ‘doubtful’, a conclusion that is perhaps reinforced by its chequered auction history. There is no man of this name in the only other lancer regiment to serve in the Crimea, the 12th Lancers. Sold with copied research including medal roll entries and relevant pages from Needes’ detailed notes.

Vanguard exploded at Scapa Flow on 9 July 1917, with the loss of over 800 lives Italy, Kingdom, Messina Earthquake Medal 1908, silver, unnamed as issued, good very fine £140-£180 --- Harry Piper was born in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, on 13 October 1887 and joined the Royal Navy as a Boy Second Class on 23 June 1903.

Egmont, the depot ship at Malta), and took part in the relief operations following the Messina Earthquake, 28 December 1908. Piper served throughout the Great War in H.M.S. Vanguard, and was present in her at the Battle of Jutland, 31 May 1916. He was killed on 9 July 1917, when just before midnight, Vanguard, at anchor at Scapa Flow, suffered an explosion, probably caused by an unnoticed stokehold fire heating cordite stored against an adjacent bulkhead in one of the two magazines which served the amidships gun turrets 'P' and 'Q'. She sank almost instantly, killing an estimated 804 men; there were only two survivors. In terms of loss of life, the destruction of Vanguard remains the most catastrophic accidental explosion in the history of the United Kingdom, and one of the worst accidental losses of the Royal Navy. He is commemorated on the Chatham Naval Memorial. Sold with the named medal enclosure from H.M.’s Ambassador at Rome, named to ‘226,762 H. Piper, A.B., H.M.S. “Lancaster”, this in three parts and sellotaped together; and a postcard showing the ruined city sent by the recipient to ‘Mrs. Piper, Braemar, West Port, Wareham, Dorset’, with the message ‘With love from Harry’.

Lot 582

United States of America, Certificate of Merit Medal, bronze, unnamed as issued, nearly extremely fine, scarce £60-£80 --- The Certificate of Merit Medal was a military decoration of the United States Army which was issued between 1905 and 1918, replacing the much older parchment ‘Certificates of Merit’ which had first been issued by the U.S. Army in 1847. The Medal itself was declared obsolete in 1918, and recipients of the Certificate of Merit Medal could exchange their medal for the newly created Distinguished Service Medal. In 1934 Congress changed the regulation allowing the conversion of the medal to the Distinguished Service Cross, including those previously converted to the Distinguished Service Medal.

McLean. 2-D Gds [sic].) good very fine (3) £100-£140 --- D. J. McLean served with the 2nd Dragoons during the Great War on the Western Front from 23 August 1914, and transferred to the Military Mounted Police on 1 October 1916. Note: Two Medal Index Cards exist for this recipient. The first states that Private D. J. McLean served in the 2nd Dragoons (Regimental Number 5924) from 23 August 1914 and transferred to the Military Mounted Police (Regimental Number 5907) on 1 October 1916. This card shows entitlement to the 1914 Star only and is entirely consistent with the 1914 Star medal roll. The second Medal Index Card states Private W. J. McLean served as a Private in the 2nd Dragoon Guards (Regimental Number 5924) and transferred to the Military Foot Police (Regimental Number P-5907). This card shows entitlement to the British War and Victory Medals only and is consistent with the British War and Victory Medal Roll. The differing first initial cannot be readily explained nor the Military Mounted Police / Military Foot Police discrepancy but the consistent service numbers across both rolls confirm these medals are all to the same man. The listing of 2nd Dragoon Guards rather than 2nd Dragoons (Royal Scots Greys) on the British War and Victory Medal roll and the second Medal Index Card (and hence the recipient’s British War and Victory Medals) appears to be a clerical error; likewise, it would be most unusual for a cavalryman to have transferred to the Foot, rather that the Mounted, Police.
