London Gazette 3 June 1978: Captain Thomas Hand, lately Harbour Master, Tees and Hartlepool Port Authority. Thomas Hand was born in South Shields on 4 January 1914 and was a merchant seaman by trade. First apprenticed on a Tyne Tramp running to New Zealand, amongst other experiences he was shipwrecked on the New South Wales coast, saw the opening of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and arrived in New York after a 79 day voyage from the Philippines the day before the end of prohibition. He received his Master’s ticket in 1941, and was granted a commission in the Royal Naval Reserve on 19 May of that year. He served during the Second World War as a temporary Lieutenant-Commander in the Royal Naval Reserve, and commanded the Flower-class corvette H.M.S. Bryony from 9 December 1942 to mid 1945, serving on convoy escort duties in the Atlantic, Arctic, and Mediterranean, including taking part in the celebrated Russian Convoy PQ-18. On 3 November 1943 Bryony picked up 14 survivors from the French merchantman Mont Viso that was sunk in convoy KMS-30 by the German submarine U-593 about 40 miles north-east of Tenes, Algeria. Shortly afterwards she attacked the U-boat with eight depth charges, causing sufficient damage to the submarine that it was forced to break out of its patrol. Hand relinquished his commission on 2 February 1946, and resumed his career with the mercantile marine, ultimately becoming Harbour Master of Tees and Hartlepool Port Authority in 1955. He retired in 1978, and was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire in that year’s Birthday Honours’ List.

W.

Commissioned Ensign in the 19th Regiment of Foot on 1 July 1853, he was appointed Adjutant on 17 March 1854, and served with the Regiment in the Crimea, first landing at Varna, Bulgaria, on 30 May 1854, and then in the Crimea on 14 September. He was severely wounded at the Battle of the Alma on 20 September 1854, and was evacuated to hospital at Scutari on 28 September, and thence back to England. Charles Isherwood’s Service Journal states: ‘Just prior to receiving the order to make haste for cover under the wall, several round shots passed through the ranks of the 19th Foot, two of these passing through my own company, one of which grazed my pouch as I turned to avoid it and striking the hind leg of Cardew’s horse immediately in rear of myself wounding it severely... Of the wounded... Ensign and Adjutant Cardew not only received a ball in the leg but another also in the neck which passed and lodged near his eye, his horse also being shot.’ An unknown source takes up the story: ‘Cardew’s horse was struck twice, the second time as he crossed the Alma. He continued on foot, under heavy fire. He was shot in the leg but limped on, supported by a Sergeant, until another shot hit him below the right ear and lodged in his jaw. Cardew had the bullet removed on the battlefield by Surgeon Longmore and was taken to the hospital at Scutari. He kept the bullet and later had it engraved “Alma” as a souvenir.’ Having recovered from this wounded, Cardew joined the Provisional Battalion at Malta and then re-joined his Regiment in the Crimea on 9 March 1856. Promoted Captain on 27 June 1856, he was placed on half-pay on 10 November of that year, before transferring as Captain to the 9th Regiment of Foot on 23 October 1857. He served as Adjutant of the 11th Depot Battalion from October 1868 to 16 June 1870, when he was again placed on half-pay. Appointed Staff Officer of Pensioners on 1 October 1870, he was promoted Brevet Major on 24 October 1872, and Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel on 31 December 1878. He was advanced Colonel on 31 December 1883 and retired on 17 April 1893. He died in Falmouth, Cornwall, on 4 March 1895 Sold together with a 19th Regiment Officer’s Shoulder Belt Plate; a fine water-colour portrait of the recipient, painted at a later date from an earlier likeness, dated 1893, and mounted in a glazed gilt frame, one small hole to centre of portrait; a studio photograph of the recipient in later life; and copied research, including a photographic image of the recipient wearing his medals.

Y SIR WILLIAM CHARLES ROSS, R.A., (1794-1860) THE MARCHIONESS OF BREADALBANE, MARY GAVIN CAMPBELL large miniature portrait, oil and bodycolour on ivory, the subject depicted seated in a red upholstered open armchair, her dark hair arranged loosely in ringlets falling across her decolletage, wearing a brown velvet dress edged in lace and blue satin, and adorned with turquoise and pearl mounted jewellery, in a fitted Moroccan leather case(22.9 x 15.9cm sight size)Note: The stylish and striking sitter for this portrait is Mary Gavin Campbell, wife of John Campbell, the 1st Marquess of Breadalbane, whom she married in 1793. After her marriage she was styled Countess of Breadalbane and Holland, and from 1831, Marchioness of Breadalbane. She died in 1845. The miniature portrait is recorded in the Christie, Manson & Woods 1863 Inventory of Taymouth Castle as hanging in the Tapestry Sitting Room, item 446. William Charles Ross artistic talent was recognised and encouraged from an early age by his parents, both of whom were accomplished portrait painters. Ross' glossy style was influenced by Andrew Robertson, to whom he was apprenticed in 1814. In 1817 he established his own studio in London and quickly made a name for himself with prominent commissions. His growing list of important sitters included the prime minister and the queen’s uncle, and in 1837 Queen Victoria herself commissioned a portrait. She declared it ‘very like and very well painted’ and appointed Ross as Miniature Painter to the Queen, a position providing the opportunity to portray sitters from royal families throughout Europe. Ross was knighted in 1842.
