Abyssinia 1867 (W.R.O. Servt. C. Wilkins H.M.S. Octavia) suspension re-fixed and polished overall, otherwise nearly very fine and rare £900-£1,200 --- Provenance: Ufill-Brown Collection, Dix Noonan Webb, December 1991; Douglas-Morris Collection, Dix Noonan Webb, October 1996. Sold with an original manuscript autobiography, ‘My Life’s Story. By C. Wilkins aged 86’, 61pp, together with a typewritten transcript, and an original letter of recommendation from Lieut. Mostyn, H.M.S. Octavia. Cornelius Wilkins gives a fascinating insight into everyday life in the Royal Navy which he joined in 1863 as a college servant. He joined H.M.S. Octavia in 1865 and served aboard her until his discharge to shore in July 1869. Octavia left Portsmouth in September 1865 for Madeira and the Island of Teneriffe. “From Teneriffe we proceeded to Sierra Leone, a port on the West Coast of Africa oftimes called the ‘White Man's Grave’ on account of so much yellow fever generally found there. At this place we shipped 24 natives or Kroomen as they are called for the purpose of doing any special work on board when the sun’s the hottest. One peculiarity about some of these men was that they had no names by which they could be entered on the ship's books, so names were given to them on board such as Tom Peasoup, Jack Sunday, Long Tom, Harry Teakettle, Sam Friday and Black Joe. I think the latter name was given on account of the intense darkness of his skin. It was very amusing how they would answer to these names when called.” Wilkins records that of the 24 Kroomen only 5 were returned to Sierra Leone in 1869, most of them having died from fevers or smallpox. Full of amusing anecdotes and incidents, his story takes the Octavia to the Cape of Good Hope and onward to Bombay where she became the Flag Ship on the East Indies Station. He describes a visit to Zanzibar where he played with the band at the Sultan's palace. The Octavia conveyed Sir Robert Napier and his staff to Abyssinia “and I was told off to assist in attending to them during that two weeks voyage to the Red Sea, and landed Sir Robert and his staff at Zoula in Annesley Bay.” Wilkins served briefly on H.M.S. Trafalgar as Second Wardroom Steward in the Mediterranean before being finally paid off. He joined the Guion Line of steamers and spent two years running immigrants to New York and describes his experiences during a hurricane that nearly proved fatal. In 1875 Wilkins joined the Mexican Navy aboard the Independencia, one of two war ships built by Messrs Laird of Birkenhead for the Mexican government. Commanded and crewed by ex Royal Navy Officers and men, all were under a 12 month contract. Wilkins describes in detail his experiences fighting against the rebels in Mexico where he narrowly escaped being captured. On his return from Mexico to England he hangs up his hammock and returns to life as a civilian.

The important Great War M.C. group of four awarded to Lieutenant T. R. Conning, 2nd Battalion, Royal Welch Fusiliers, a ‘happy-go-lucky’ subaltern of ‘natural jollity’ who was one of ‘the most popular officers with the men of the Battalion’ - and who appears in much of the literature that emerged from the ranks of his regiment, not least Dunn’s The War the Infantry Knew and Siegfried Sassoon’s Memoirs of an Infantry Officer: a close friend of Sassoon’s, news of his death in action in May 1917 is also said to have been among the catalysts that prompted the war poet to make public his famous anti-war statement - ‘Finished with the War: A Soldier’s Declaration’ Military Cross, G.V.R., unnamed as issued, with Royal Mint case; 1914-15 Star (2 Lieut. T. R. Conning, R.W. Fus.); British War and Victory Medals (Lieut. T. R. Conning); Memorial Plaque 1914-18 (Thomas Rothesay Conning), remnants of adhesive to reverses, nearly extremely fine (5) £5,000-£6,000 --- Provenance: Dix Noonan Webb, March 2015 (subsequently reunited with Aucott’s medals). M.C. London Gazette 1 January 1917: ‘For distinguished service in the Field.’ Thomas Rothesay Conning was born in London in January 1892, the son of a commercial clerk. His father having died towards the end of the same decade, Thomas’s mother Elizabeth married Edwin Aucott, who ran the St. James’s Tavern on the corner of Denman Street and Shaftesbury Avenue and, following his death in 1913, Alphonse “Papa” De Hem, a retired Dutch sea captain who ran “The Macclesfield”, a popular pub and oyster bar just off Shaftesbury Street - which establishment continues to flourish to this day as the “De Hems” bar and restaurant. In his Memoirs of an Infantry Officer, in which Conning appears under the pseudonym ‘Dunning’, Sassoon refers to the former speaking about ‘the eccentric old ladies who lived in mother’s boarding house.’ Thomas, who attended Archbishop Tenison’s Grammar School, was residing with his mother at the St. James’s Tavern in Denman Street when he attested for the 16th Battalion, London Regiment (The Queen’s Westminster Rifles) in September 1914. The Battalion went to France at the year’s end and he was advanced to Acting Corporal in February 1915. Royal Welch Fusiliers: wounded - second close call Commissioned Second Lieutenant in the Royal Welch Fusiliers in May 1915, Conning was posted to the 2nd Battalion that November, the commencement of a distinguished career that included appointments as Bombing Officer, Lewis Gun Officer and Acting Adjutant; a period, too, that witnessed his growing friendship with Siegfried Sassoon and many other stalwarts of the 2nd Royal Welch Fusiliers - thus a spate of references to him in related literature, not least Dunn’s The War the Infantry Knew, in which he is described as one of ‘the most popular officers with the men in the battalion.’ One of Conning’s first significant actions occurred in the Cambrai sector on 8 April 1916, when he was wounded in a trench raid - only the second occasion on which the battalion had employed the Bangalore torpedo. On 22 June 1916, the enemy exploded the Red Dragon Mine, causing 2/R.W.F. around 100 casualties, including over 50 killed. As recounted by Captain H. M. Blair in Dunn’s history, Conning was fortunate to survive: ‘About half an hour after midnight I began a round with my Sergeant-Major, Pattison. The trenches had been knocked about in places by shelling during the day. A perfect network of saps ran out for a considerable distance between deep mine-craters. In one of the saps I met Conning, the Bombing Officer. He told me he could not spare more than two-thirds of the complement of bombers, but I insisted on having the full number. I had an uncomfortable foreboding of impending trouble. I cannot say why, I was neither worried nor depressed, but the feeling grew as time went on. It was a lovely peaceful night. Perhaps it was the almost uncanny stillness, too quiet to be natural in that unpleasant part of the line. Anyhow, I was filled with a haunting unrest. I sent my Sergeant-Major to have boxes of bombs placed on the fire-steps and the pins pinched ready for use, boxes of reserve S.A.A. too were to be ready to hand. It was nearly 1.30 a.m. when my Sergeant-Major reported again. Conning had made up the complement of bombers; we all went for a last look round. Everything was quite in order, so we strolled towards the company dug-out to have a drink before turning in. A few yards from the dug-out somebody, Conning I think, looked at his watch; it was twenty minutes to two. He said he was dead-beat and, if I did not mind, he would prefer to turn in at once, so we postponed the drink. He and another, whose name I forget, went off in the direction of C Company. Conning's change of mind saved his life, at the time, and mine. After they left us I went back with Pattison to the far end of one of the saps and spoke to the sentry and Lance-Corporal Morris. There was stillness everywhere. I had just stepped off the fire-step into the sap - Pattison was about 5 yards from me - when I felt my feet lifted up beneath me and the trench walls seemed to move upwards. There was a terrific blast of air which blew my steel helmet Heaven knows where. I think that something must have struck me then on the head - it was said in hospital that my skull was fractured - anyhow, I remember nothing more until I woke to find myself buried up to the neck and quite unable to move hand or foot. I do not know how long I had been unconscious. I was told afterwards that there was a heavy bombardment of our trenches lasting nearly an hour after the explosion of the mine, but I was quite unaware of all that. I awoke to an appalling shindy going on, and gradually realized that heavy rifle and machine-gun fire was taking place and that bullets were whistling all round. Several men passed within a few feet of me. I saw them distinctly by the light of the flares. I remember hoping they would not trip over my head. The men were shouting to each other, but I was too dazed to appreciate that the language was German. When I heard a hunting-horn I was certain I was having the nightmare of my life-pegged down and unable to move, with a hailstorm of bullets all round, and men rushing about perilously near kicking my head. The firing died down, and I realised it was no nightmare but that I was very much awake ... ’ For his own part, Conning quickly rallied, collecting reinforcements from the support line and manning the crater’s edge until order - and the line - could be restored. Carnage on the Somme - Robert Graves wounded At High Wood on the Somme on 20 July 1916, Conning assumed command of ‘D’ Company amidst ‘a hopeless mix-up of bush fighting’. The Company suffered casualties from the onset - ‘small opposing parties, scrapping and bombing, pursuing and pursued all over the north-east of the wood.’ By nightfall, however, Conning had overseen the construction of a new trench, but with a determined enemy counter-attack the following day, 2/R.W.F. was compelled to withdraw to the southern edge of the wood - among the casualties was the poet Robert Graves, who commanded ‘B’ Company: ‘The German batteries were handing out heavy stuff, six-and eight-inch, and so much of it that we decided to move back fifty yards at a rush. As we did so, an eight-inch shell burst three paces behind me. I heard the explosion, and felt as though I had been punched rather hard between the shoulder-blades, but without any pain. I took the punch merely for...

Punjab 1848-49, 1 clasp, Mooltan (Str. Karkare, Ind Flot.) officially impressed naming, light contact marks, otherwise very fine and rare £600-£800 --- The Punjab medal rolls for both Europeans and native crewmen of the Indus Flotilla are far from complete and several examples are known, both with and without Mooltan clasp, variously named to one of the ships present or, as in this case, simply ‘Ind Flot.’ for Indus Flotilla. Captain Douglas-Morris, in Vol. 1 of his Naval Medals, particularly mentions Stoker Karkare’s medal as being the most recent to surface - some 40 years ago.

A good Second War ‘1945’ A.F.C., ‘1943’ D.F.M. group of six awarded to Whitley and Stirling pilot, Flight Lieutenant F. H. J. Ashley, Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, who flew in at least 45 operational sorties with 102, 51 and 149 Squadrons, and the Thousand Bomber Raids to Cologne and Essen whilst stationed with No. 15 O.T.U. During the course of his service, his crew claimed at least 2 enemy aircraft shot down, and he became a member of the Caterpillar Club when he was forced to abandon his aircraft due to damage sustained during a raid on Mannheim, 6 February 1942 Air Force Cross, G.VI.R., reverse officially dated ‘1945’, in Royal Mint case of issue; Distinguished Flying Medal, G.VI.R. (1578411 F/Sgt. F. H. J. Ashley. R.A.F.) in named card box of issue; 1939-45 Star; Air Crew Europe Star; Defence and War Medals 1939-45, the campaign awards in card box of issue with enclosure slips, addressed to ‘F/L F. H. J. Ashely, A.F.C., D.F.M., The Crest, High Oakham Hill, Mansfield, Notts’; together with the recipient’s 2 Caterpillar Club Badges, both gold, one with ’ruby’ eyes, the other missing the eyes, both reverses engraved ‘F/Sgt F. H. J. Ashley’, good very fine (lot) £3,000-£4,000 --- A.F.C. London Gazette 1 January 1945. The original recommendation states: ‘1653 Conversion Unit. Total instructional hours - 1010; completed during the last six months - 220. This officer has been a Stirling instructor since April, 1943. His work has always been of a high standard and has been of the greatest value in solving difficulties attendant on the formation of two Conversion Units. His work in the air has been supplemented by lectures on both tactics and airmanship. For the last three months he has been Acting Flight Commander. Flight Lieutenant Ashley has been an able Flight Commander.’ D.F.M. London Gazette 9 July 1943. The original recommendation states: ‘Flight Sergeant Ashley has now completed his second tour of operations, involving altogether 48 successful sorties. He has participated in attacks on all the most heavily defended targets in Germany and the occupied countries, and during his past tour he has been attacked six times by fighters, two of which were destroyed. His coolness and courage on these operations have been largely instrumental in the safe return of the aircraft and crew. One night in December when he was attacking Mannheim, the aircraft was subjected to heavy and accurate fire; but the bombs were dropped according to plan before the aircraft was hit, rendering the elevator controls useless and badly damaging the Port Outer engine. Flight Sergeant Ashley however, maintained control of the aircraft by the sole use of the ailerons and trimming gear and brought it back to England where a landing could not be attempted owing to a very low cloud base and the difficulty in controlling the aircraft. When the Port Outer engine failed completely, F/Sgt. Ashley gave the order to abandon the aircraft and this was accomplished successfully although the Port Inner engine also failed during the procedure. Flight Sergeant Ashley’s enthusiasm and determination have been of the highest order and he has proved himself an exceptional captain. He is strongly recommended for the award of the Distinguished Flying Medal.’ Francis Herbert James Ashley was born in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire in April 1919, and was the youngest son of Mr and Mrs R. Ashley of Wake Hill Farm, Mansfield Woodhouse. He was educated at Oundle School, and was in training to be a civil engineer prior to enlisting in the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve in May 1939. Ashley carried out initial training as a Pilot at No. 27 E. & R. F.T.S. and No. 22 E.F.T. He was mobilised, granted an Emergency Commission as Pilot Officer on probation in October 1940, and posted to No. 10 O.T.U., Abingdon, the same month. Ashley was posted for operational flying with ‘A’ Flight, 102 Squadron (Whitleys) from Linton in January 1941. He flew in at least 15 operational sorties with the Squadron, including: Bordeaux (2); Hanover; Duisberg; Cologne; Hamburg (3); Bremen (2); Lorient; Kiel (2); Berlin; and Brest. Ashley’s commission terminated on cessation of duty in August 1941, and he was allowed to re-enlist in the ranks. Ashley advanced to Flight Sergeant and returned to operational flying with ‘A’ Flight, 51 Squadron (Whitleys) from Dishforth in September 1941. He flew in at least 10 operational sorties with the Squadron, including: Stettin; Nuremberg; Wilhemshaven; Mannheim; Frankfurt; Hamburg; Aachen; Emden; Brest and St. Nazaire. Ashley was posted to No. 15 O.T.U., Mount Farm, to convert to Wellingtons in February 1942. Whilst stationed with the latter, he took part in the Thousand Bomber Raids to Cologne, 30/31 May 1942, and to Essen, 1 June 1942. Ashley was posted to No. 1657 Conversion Unit at Stradishall in September 1942. He returned to operational flying when he was posted to 149 (East India) Squadron (Stirlings) at Lakenheath in November 1942. Ashley’s first sortie with the squadron was to Mannheim, 6 December 1942 (see D.F.M. recommendation). The following extract from Canadian Calendar, dated 4 January 1945, gives additional detail about the operation from the perspective of a Canadian member of Ashley’s crew: ‘Another member of the R.C.A.F. who was recently returning from his first operational flight over Germany was Sergeant Walter Morris of Winnipeg, Manitoba. Morris is navigator bomb-aimer in a s Stirling squadron with the R.A.F. The target was successfully bombed but on the return trip, the plane was hit by flak over France and the elevator controls were shot away. In this condition the plane could only fly in a level position, going neither up nor or down. The pilot told the crew to stand by to bail out but on investigation it was found that the plane had a chance to get back to base before this was necessary. Two hours later, the plane was over England. It was pretty awkward, said Morris, with dense clouds below us and an altitude of 6,000 feet, not being able to get below them. Morris landed in a muddy field, some 30 miles from London and other crew members landed within a 10-mile radius. Only two of the crew members were injured. One is recovering from a fractured spine and the other broke two toes when his parachute dragged him along the ground, but Morris hasn’t a scratch to show for his 6,000 foot leap.’ Ashley eventually abandoned the aircraft near Maidenhead, and returned to carry out a further 20 sorties with the Squadron, including: Hamburg; Frisian Islands; Lorient; Cologne (2), including 14 February 1943, ‘Heavy A.A. Bombed 10500’ 1 Stick. 4 Fighter Attacks. 1 Ju.88 Destroyed’ (Log Book refers); Lorient; Nuremburg; St. Nazaire (2); Berlin (3), including 1 March 1943, ‘Medium AA. Shot up by Flak & Enemy Fighters...’ (Ibid); Munich; Mining Gironde; Duisberg (2); Frankfurt, 10 April 1943, ‘Heavy A.A... 1 Me.110 Destroyed’ (Ibid); Stuttgart; Mannheim and Rostock. Ashley was commissioned Pilot Officer on probation once again in April 1943, advanced to Flying Officer in October of the same year, and to Flight Lieutenant in April 1945. He was posted as an instructor to No. 1657 Conversion Unit in May 1943, transferred to No. 1654 C.U. in December of the same year, and to No. 1653 in the New Year. Ashley saw out the remainder of the war at the latter, and was released from service in November 1945. He died in Mansfield in July 1995.

Four: Jack Nimrod, a West African Krooman, later Tindall (Head Seedie) in the Royal Navy, afterwards Churchwarden of Zanzibar Cathedral Abyssinia 1867 (J. Nimrod Krooman. H.M.S.

He was afterwards Churchwarden of Zanzibar Cathedral. He died January 28th 1908 leaving all his possessions and these medals to the Mission”, generally very fine and rare (4) £2,600-£3,000 --- Provenance: As stated above; Douglas Morris Collection, Dix Noonan Webb, October 1996. Jack Nimrod saw service in the Royal Navy for the first time as a Krooman with seven others aboard H.M.S. Daphne, joining her at Freetown, Sierra Leone on 6 September 1867, the day after she had arrived from Maderia on her voyage to East African waters. Jack Nimrod along with the other Kroomen were signed aboard as members of Daphne’s ship's company, not as supernumeraries. Of these eight Kroomen joining Daphne, six were later to receive the Abyssinian medal. After his discharge from the Daphne in February 1870 where he earned the Abyssinia medal, he remained continuously at sea in various H.M. Ships until placed ashore at Trincomalee from H.M.S. Columbine in November 1872. He was taken up by the Daphne again on 19 April 1873, at Mahe, Seychelles, whilst she was sailing to more southerly waters from Aden, but Jack Nimrod was now rated as a “Seedie”, as if he had changed his birthplace from West to East Africa! The reason must have been a much disliked Admiralty order issued during 1870 which forbade Kroomen from West Africa to serve aboard H.M. Ships on the East Coast of Africa. On 1 August 1873, he was drafted to H.M.S. Shearwater where, upon joining, he was advanced to Tindal (Head Seedie) and was subsequently to serve aboard H.M. Ships Flying Fish (1875-77), Vulture (1877-79), Philomel (1881-83) and Briton, at Zanzibar on 14 June 1883 until 14 July 1887, earning both the Egypt medal and his LS & GC award. He continued his service afloat aboard H.M. Ships Gannet (1887-90) and Marathon (1890-91) until pensioned on 27 June 1891, having earned 3 Good Conduct Badges, and with a character assessment throughout his career of ‘Very Good’ or ‘Exemplary’.
