JPR WILLIAMS | ENGLAND & WALES | 1981 WRU CENTENARY YEAR MATCH A red and white quartered jersey, match-worn by JPR, with embroidered Prince of Wales feathers and ‘Welsh Rugby Union, 1881-1981’, stitched brown number 15 to reverse, Umbro International label to inside collar. To accompany:Black and white photo of JPR in the jersey.Welsh Rugby Union Centenary Year programme 1980.Player’s itinerary card.The special commemorative match was played against an Ireland and Scotland combined XV at Cardiff Arms Park on 29th November, 1980. JPR’s opposite number was Andy Irvine.JPR (family notes, 2023):"This was one of the last jerseys I saved. I cherished it and I didn’t wish to swap it. I had only just been persuaded to come out of retirement the previous month to play against the All Blacks for the WRU Centenary in 1980-81. I couldn’t hide the fact that I had been training and playing a bit for Bridgend as I couldn’t seem to keep away from the game. But this was different and I was proud that I was the only person to have been selected first, then played in all four matches marking the Centenaries of RFU, Scottish RU, Irish RU and finally WRU in 1981. It was lucky that my career at international level landed at the right time and spanned 11 years... at grassroots level it was rather different and spanned nearly 20. I played alongside, Bill Beaumont, Peter Wheeler and Clive Woodward in that game and got to know them as friends."Additional playing days images courtesy of Colorsport (Copyright)

JPR WILLIAMS | BRITISH LIONS | 1971Jersey match-worn by JPR Williams, bears crest of the four unions with the English rose in indigo rather than red (1974) and with two labels to the interior for Umbro and Lillywhites as was the case in the 1971 tour. Stitched white number 15 to reverse. Red dye has run to white areas.The 1971 Lions were the first British team to win a major series abroad in the 20th Century and the only time the Lions have won a series in New Zealand. The tour was a huge success for British rugby and as a public relations exercise for the sport in the UK.In the 1991 Souvenir Programme for the 20th Anniversary of the tour, captain John Dawes wrote:“Throughout history certain events in sport achieve an everlasting place by virtue of the magnitude of the performance. In team sports in the UK such teams as the England World Cup Soccer Team in 1966, Britain’s Ryder Cup Team that regained the famous trophy, Ray Illingworth’s Team that regained the Ashes in Australia in 1971 are such fine examples. There are those who feel the achievements of the 1971 British Lions, in becoming the first UK Team to win a rugby series against the mighty All Blacks in New Zealand, deserves to rank alongside those achievements”.View full descriptionAdditional playing days images courtesy of Colorsport (Copyright)

JPR WILLIAMS | WALES UNDER 25 | 1970Red jersey with white collar, Umbro International Sportswear manufacturing label, printed Umbro motif to back, felt patch number 15 stitched to rear with felt patch rampant dragon and embroidered 'FIJI' over.JPR played full-back wearing the number 15 jersey for Wales (Under 25) XV v Fiji at National Ground Cardiff on 21st November 1970. The Wales (Under 25) XV won 8-6. Please see Welsh Brewers Annual 1971/72 page 20 photo of Welsh players in the match wearing this jersey.The Wales line-up was an impressive one, with full-cap players included such as John Bevan, Derek Quinnell, Terry Cobner and was captained by Phil Bennett. The senior Welsh side had earlier in the year shared the Five Nations Championship with France. The match against Fiji would have formed preparation for the 1971 Championship, with the opportunity for selectors to observe a number of ‘possibles’ whilst playing with more experienced ‘probables’ such as JPR. Four months later Wales would win their 6th Grand Slam.

JPR WILLIAMS | BARBARIANS | 1973Jersey match-worn by JPR in the famous Barbarians RFC v New Zealand All Blacks ‘match of the century', played in Cardiff on 27th January 1973. Jersey in traditional black and white hoops bearing Barbarians cypher embroidered on to patch, printed number 15 to white square stitched to reverse, Umbro ‘two globes’ label to interior. In excellent complete condition. To accompany:Barbarians FC dinner card in honour of the New Zealand Rugby Touring Team 1972-73, in good condition.Match programme.Black and white reproduced photo with signatures over the tops in black ink of JPR Williams, Phil Bennett, Gareth Edwards, Tommy David, and John Dawes.Booklet with match-by-match reports and pictures of New Zealand’s rugby tour of the British Isles 1972-73 entitled ‘All Blacks in the Lion’s Den’, colour cover and with colour photographs, 72 pages.The Barbarians vs New Zealand match was played at Cardiff Arms Park to a capacity crowd. It remains one of the most famous rugby matches of all time, in which certainly the most famous try of all time was scored. ‘That try’—commonly described as ‘the greatest try’—was scored by Sir Gareth Edwards, but started off by Phil Bennett, who then passed to JPR Williams, who shrugged off a high tackle from Bryan Williams—one of several high tackles JPR endured over the course of the match."We really had no right to beat them, we hadn’t played together for eighteen months, and they were right at the end of a tour".

I S G SMITH | SCOTLAND | c.1970 The jersey in navy blue with white collar, stitched Scottish thistle crest, vinyl number 15 to reverse, label for Umbro and for R W Forsyth dating the jersey to late 1969-70 printed Umbro label to hem.Believed to have been worn by Ian Smith (b.1944) against Wales at Cardiff Arms Park on February, 1970. A match Wales won 18-9.Born in Dundee, Smith was raised in Morningside, Edinburgh, and attended George Heriot's School. He would practise his kicking as a schoolboy with George Watson's College pupil Ian Robertson, later a Scotland teammate. A University of Edinburgh dentistry graduate, Smith competed in the varsity first XV and played rugby in the services. He was a captain in the Royal Army Dental Corps, at one point stationed in Germany.Smith, normally a fullback but sometime winger, played 15 against Wales in 1970. He gained his first Scotland call up out of the London Scottish thirds, having come to the attention of selectors playing for Combined Services. On debut at Murrayfield in 1969, Smith scored all his team's points in a 6–3 win over the Springboks, including the match-winning try with five minutes remaining, set up by childhood friend Robertson. He played in Scotland's 1970 Calcutta Cup win over England and finished his two years in the team with eight caps. In 1972, Smith turned out at the Asian Championships with Hong Kong, where he had been posted. He was selected for the 1966 Lions tour to Australia and New Zealand, though he did not play in the Test matches. Smith, by his own admission, was not the fastest back, as highlighted by the title of his autobiography ‘A Full Back Slower than your Average Prop’. But Smith had finishing ability and earned a reputation as a reliable and hard-working player.

JPR WILLIAMS | LONDON WELSH | 1968-1976Match-worn jersey in red with white collar, bears felt shield with red dragon embroidered crest to white shield shaped badge, canvas number 15 stitched to reverse, Umbro International label to the interior.JPR’s first season for London Welsh was 1968-69 whilst he commenced studying for medicine at St Mary’s. In his autobiography of 1979, JPR devotes a chapter to ‘The Golden Days of London Welsh’ when the club "...made a name for themselves with their exciting fifteen-man ball-handling game". He reflected on his amazement at the fitness of the players – even in the forwards, and, seeing that he was just out of school, had "great difficulty in keeping up with some of these old men".An Evening News report after JPR’s debut on October 5th, 1968, tells of resentment in Wales on JPR’s decision to play for the club. JPR expressed his incredulity "…a round trip of 350 miles to appear for Bridgend is not the best preparation for a game and the problem was further complicated as David Griffiths, the Bridgend vice-captain, is also a full-back". The report tells of JPR’s ‘sensational debut’ for London Welsh.Only a few games into JPR’s first season in 1968, they played his local club Bridgend. JPR admitted that this would be a difficult fixture for him emotionally, particularly as he had already played some matches for the Welsh club. The great Tony Lewis reported on the fixture with the headline 'Williams too good for his ex-colleagues' going on to say that "…whichever side John Williams had played they would have won…his Argentine experiences have clearly injected timing and assurance into his running from full-back".The London Welsh club of the 1960s and 1970s was the go-to for Welsh boys who were either teaching or learning to teach in London. The home matches would bring in big crowds, always confident of a win and some exciting running rugby. At Old Deer Park, JPR was able to bond with fellow Welsh internationals, Mervyn Davies, Tony Gray, John Dawes and John Taylor – who was to be JPR’s best-man. An impressive six of the London Welsh team were selected to tour New Zealand in 1971 with the British Lions. A huge tribute to the club. Together, the London Welsh international players would travel west for their Wales Sunday squad sessions at Aberavon Beach and for Wales matches and so a strong bond was forged between the London Welsh contingent, which was important for the success of the Welsh international side.The entertaining play of London Welsh had its critics, especially from back over the Severn Bridge. Probably from a position of jealousy and snobbery, London Welsh were accused of "being airy-fairy and not tough enough to play proper rugby". But those who watched them play regularly in the early to mid-1970s were enthralled by rugby being played with freedom and expression.JPR reflected that "I will always look back on my days there (London Welsh) as being the most formative in my process of learning to adapt my game to full-back play. This had become my trademark by this time. So, my memories of both the club and people connected with it are fond and grateful ones".Additional playing days images courtesy of Colorsport (Copyright)

TONIE ROUX | SOUTH AFRICA | 1974Springbok jersey match-worn traditional green with yellow collar, embroidered leaping Springbok, yellow canvas number 15 stitched to reverse, label for Maxmore. Size 38. To accompany:Programme Barbarians vs. South Africa, 31st January 1970, every member of the Barbarians and South African sides have signed it in red ink (good condition).Wales vs. South Africa dinner card, 24th January 1970, internally lists the Welsh team then the menu, toasts, etc. (good condition).A smaller Springbok jersey so would have fitted Ian McCallum or OA Roux (b.1947) during the British Lions series of 1974 but JPR’s family believe the jersey to have been worn by Roux and swapped after the Final Test as would have been the custom. Roux had a 12 stone frame for a size 38, as opposed to de Villiers’ much larger frame.The fourth and final test was a match of high drama which proved to be the best of the series. The match ended in a draw 13-13.JPR (family notes, 2023):"We had played to our strengths in the first two tests on the ‘74 Lions tour. The first test was in Cape town in the mud and we won narrowly through our forwards and Gareth. The second test was up in Pretoria, with higher altitude and hard burnt grass, which was why I bandaged my knees to prevent grass burns. There was always a bit of bandage left over to keep my hair out of my eyes. It was expected by the SA press that we wouldn’t do well on the high veldt… how wrong they were. Benny and JJ did us proud with their side stepping and skill. I had played with both of them for Wales at junior level (u15, u18) and I knew what they could do. At the end of that match the crowd walked silently away So there was much expectation for us in the 3rd. Test, and much change for the Springboks. It seemed like panic to us. We had heard that they were holed up in their training centre for a week and denied access to newspapers. When the team came running out after a delay in the tunnel, their eyes were popping with adrenaline like raging bulls. So we knew what to expect.Much has been made of the 99 call but most people don’t know it started as 999 .. help! But it was too long. And most people don’t know we only used it twice. Willie-John was a marvellous captain. I would have followed him off a cliff if he had asked me to. He had simply said the ref can’t send the whole team off and do your best. I met the SA second row, van Heerden some 30 years later who told me the punch had made him famous in SA and we shook hands. He was on his way to hand out jerseys to the SA team due to play Wales.After all the rumpus, we went on to play some champagne rugby, with JJ running in a couple of great tries, one of them with me passing the ball back and forth to him. I wasn’t surprised that he could grubber kick ahead so accurately as he was fly-half as a junior. We were elated at the end, arms up in the air, jerseys coming off, and Willie John being lifted up. We went over to the area where our extra supporters were standing to salute them. They were Africans, Indians, Cape Coloureds and had supported us throughout the tour, wanting us to rock the establishment, the apartheid way of life. Much later on we heard from JJ that he had received a letter from Nelson Mandela himself: imprisoned but his importance unknown to us at the time. It was so emotional seeing Pienaar receive the World Cup, 20 years later from Nelson Mandela with all the integrated crowd cheering. I like to think we made a bit of difference."With regards to the final test, JPR did not think the preparation was as good as usual, and Fergus Slattery thought the Lions had taken their eye off the ball;“We had mentally packed our bags “. In fact half of the squad had already left, with only the Test team and reserves left. They were exhausted after three months, mentally and physically. After 21 games unbeaten they needed motivating by Willie-John “ please don’t let it slip now”The Lions faced a determined Springbok side, with Tonie Roux retaining his full back slot wearing this jersey. JPR (family notes, 2023):...the ‘Boks were more together and it was close. The match was played at fast pace on the hard ground at Ellis Park, with a couple of controversial tries. It was hard for Max Baise the referee .He was an honest ref and we liked him but there was no video ref then and has said later that it haunted him that he awarded Roger Uttley’s try early on. But near the end , he disallowed a probable try by Fergus Slattery, fed by me near the line. So that was that - a draw at 13-13.As Fergus said 'the referee is always right'. It was a fitting ending to a memorable tour. Quite a few of that Test side had played 4 tests against NZ in ‘71 and were delighted then to draw the last test, winning the series. But for those same players , who were in the test team drawing the 4 th Test was a bit of a let down. They were unbeaten however : a magnificent team' Tonie Roux played full back and fly-half, known for his kicking ability and great tactical awareness. He played for Transvaal and earned his Springbok debut in 1969. Additional playing days images courtesy of Colorsport (Copyright)

JPR WILLIAMS | WALES | 1979Traditional Wales International Rugby Union match-worn jersey in red with white collar, embroidered ‘Ich Dien’ Prince of Wales feathers, white number 15 stitched to reverse. Umbro International ‘The Choice of Champions’ label to inside collar. In good structural condition.Jersey believed to have been worn by JPR in 1979 for his 53rd cap in the Five Nations Championship, in which Wales were the champions for the second consecutive season. In beating Scotland, Ireland, and England they also won the Triple Crown for a record fourth successive season and extended their record number of Triple Crown wins to sixteen. This would be the last time that Wales won back-to-back championships until 2013. Wales secured the Championship by securing a victory against England on March 17th in Cardiff. JPR was awarded a record 53rd cap and he intended the England game to be his final cap. Sadly his intended final match ended prematurely as he limped off with a laceration to his calf. He was replaced by Clive Griffiths. But JPR returned to help out Wales when injury ravaged the squad in 1981 and when he won his final Welsh cap.JPR’s 55 caps were a record for Wales, five as captain, in a Welsh side that won Grand Slams in 1971, 1976 and 1978. His record against the ‘old enemy’ was impeccable, in ten tests between Wales and England JPR scored five tries (exceptional for a full-back position) and incredibly he was never on the losing side! It is telling that in 1980 when he chose not to play, Wales lost to England, but on his return for two matches in 1981, Wales beat England again!Of his first cap, JPR wrote “No one ever forgets his first cap, and I am no exception. I was treated like royalty by the lads at St Mary’s for the first few days after the news of my selection, and fortunately I was out of reach of the media in Wales. It is perhaps as well that I did not see some of the reactions of the Welsh sports writers to my selection, because there was a fair amount of scepticism!”“…I eventually achieved this (my full cap) at Murrayfield in February 1969. The newly adopted Welsh squad system had enabled me to train with and gain experience from the established Welsh players and this helped greatly in making my first full game for Wales a marvellous occasion. After the initial worry that I might let everyone down I was not at all nervous once the game started and in fact I ran the ball the first time I touched it.”JPR was typically generous in summarising his experiences in a Welsh jersey:“I also feel privileged that I played for Wales at a time when we had so many outstanding players in their particular positions. I could not help by be influenced by such people as Gareth Edwards, Gerald Davies and Barry John, nor help develop playing under the astute captaincy of John Dawes”. (The Autobiography of JPR Williams)After a lacklustre 15-6 defeat at Murrayfield in 1981, the selectors axed seven players, including captain Steve Fenwick and in what was described as "the day of the long knives". JPR would never play for Wales again. His departure signalled the end of the golden era for Welsh rugby union.Additional playing days images courtesy of Colorsport (Copyright)

GARRICK FAY | AUSTRALIA | 1969Replacement jersey issued to Garrick Fay (b.1952) in traditional ‘gold’ with white collars, embroidered crest to shield badge bearing ‘Australia Rugby 1969’, green vinyl No.19 stitched to reverse, bears collar label for Westmont.Garrick Fay was a giant lock and a massive presence in scrum and lineout while his technical contribution was much underrated.In 1970, Fay moved to London to study hotel management and play rugby for Wasps, where he would have faced London Welsh with JPR in a domestic capacity. He was back with Sydney in 1971 and played against the touring Springboks. When the locking pair of Stu Gregory and Reg Smith were not retained for the second Test in Brisbane, Fay was called in to make his international debut. That debut proved to be a baptism of fire; Fay and his second-row partner Owen Butler were given a serious lesson by the experienced South African pair of Frik du Preez and John Williams, who won the lineouts 30 to 8.The following year he was chosen on his first Wallaby tour to New Zealand, and despite the one-sided nature of the Test series, Fay and his fellow locking partners Reg Smith and Barry Stumbles toiled tirelessly in the tight. Surprisingly, Fay is often remembered for his drop-kicking prowess, which came to the fore in the first Test against Tonga in 1973 when, trapped in traffic, he casually knocked over a fine left-foot drop goal.JPR (family notes, 2023):"The large jersey I think belonged to Garrick Fay. He was also on that '73 tour and he was huge! Over 17 stone and 6’5” and a fearsome lock. I already knew him from when we had both played for Middlesex in the early '70’s. I was at St Mary’s medical school and playing for them and London Welsh so was eligible. As was Garrick who was over in the UK playing for Wasps for a couple of years. It was great to be on the same team. Our paths crossed quite a lot".

HO de VILLIERS | SOUTH AFRICA | 1970Springbok jersey match-worn believed to be by Henry Oswald de Villiers (1945- 2022). Traditional green with yellow collar, embroidered leaping Springbok, yellow canvas number 15 stitched to reverse, label for Maxmore and small label for Markhams. As this jersey is a size 40 it is believed to have been worn by de Villiers against Wales on 24th January 1970. De Villiers had a larger frame (13.5 stone) than the other South African fullbacks whom JPR faced.HO de Villiers was regarded as a ground-breaking full-back, one who loved to get into the back line, attacking and running with ball in hand. He played 14 Tests for South Africa between 1967 and 1970, and 29 matches in all for the Springboks, retiring in 1970 after getting injured on the Springboks' 1969/70 tour of Britain and Ireland. He tore ligaments during a practice session and needed a total knee re-construction. The damage and subsequent experimental surgery prevented him from playing any more test rugby. At the height of his career HO de Villiers was one of the strongest physical players of his time, and he only weighed 85kg.Schooled at Dale College in King Williams' Town in the Eastern Cape, he later did his military service after which he enrolled at the University of Cape Town and played left wing for a while. He represented Western Province in the Currie Cup for all of ten years, between 1965 and 1975.It was as a wing in Cape Town that HO de Villiers first made an impression but was soon switched to fullback to stand in for Lionel Wilson, who was on duty in New Zealand with the 1965 Springbok team. His attacking rugby and fearlessness made him extremely popular with the crowds. HO de Villiers was that all-too-rare phenomenon, the sporting genius with the ability to achieve the seemingly impossible; the magician who could mesmerize the opposition and enthral the crowds with his inexhaustible penchant for doing the wrong things at the right time and succeeding magnificently.HO de Villiers had 14 caps for the Springboks in a time that there weren't a lot of international matches to go around. He made his debut for the Boks at Kings Park in 1967 against France, scoring 11 points. His last test was in 1970 against Wales at Cardiff Arms Park. He also played in 15 tour matches and scored 54 points, which includes two tries, 15 conversions and six penalties.Dawie de Villiers, who captained him in his first test against France in 1967, had this to say about HO de Villiers: "He seemed to thrive on the pressure, and the greater it became, the stronger he grew. He played his rugby with tremendous determination and concentration, yet off the field he was one of the most relaxed and friendly people in the team."

JPR WILLIAMS | WALES | 1979 | 50TH CAPTraditional Wales International Rugby Union match-worn jersey in red with white collar, embroidered ‘Ich Dien’ Prince of Wales feathers, white number 15 stitched to reverse. Umbro ‘The Choice of Champions’ label to inside collar. In good order without colour run or damage. Handwritten label to the interior specifying ‘50th Cap’.Believed to have been worn by JPR Williams for his 50th Welsh cap against Ireland on February 3rd, 1979. JPR was the newly appointed captain for the 1979 championship.The Five Nations Championship match, played at Cardiff Arms Park, was a close won 24-21 victory to Wales with tries for Allan Martin and Paul Ringer.The Welsh side for this championship was considered experimental on the back of the retirement of Gerald Davies, Phil Bennett, Terry Cobner and Gareth Edwards. Yet the Championship and Triple Crown was won again by Wales, with only a defeat by a single point away at France preventing Wales winning the Grand Slam. They were the champions for the second consecutive season and won a record twenty-first outright title. They won the Triple Crown for a record fourth successive season and extended their record number of Triple Crown wins to sixteen.This would be the last time that Wales won back-to-back championships until 2013.JPR was awarded a further five caps for Wales, he bowed out at 55 caps which was a new Welsh record at the time.Additional playing days images courtesy of Colorsport (Copyright)

NOBUYUKI UEYAMA | JAPAN | 1975Red and white hooped jersey, match worn by Ueyama (b.1939). Embroidered and silk crest of green stem with three pink and yellow cherry blossoms, to black badge outline and then applied to chest. Black cotton No. 15 to white square panel on reverse, interior label for Sceptre. To accompany, extracts from a Japanese magazine covering the tour, a black and white photograph of JPR with ball in hand being tackled, extracted Wales XV team line-up.JPR (family notes, 2023):“He had been a young exciting full back understudy in 73 when they played v Wales XV in Cardiff. By ‘75 he was the main full back and played for the University side (Waseda). We were made very welcome and Princess Chichibu greeted us all with a small gift: it wasn’t just a handshake line-up The tour was made as a sign of progressive friendship within the wider game. We in the Welsh team were on top of our own game in ‘75 and their team were so thrilled to have played against us that I think all Japanese players asked to exchange jerseys at the end of the 2nd Test!They attacked with style and tackled ferociously so we admired them. The tour was not so easy for our manager as he had been a POW at the end of the war. I was pleased they started to improve on rankings and even host the World Cup in 2019… but it had taken 40 years since our tour.”Additional playing days images courtesy of Colorsport (Copyright)

A RARE NAGA KONYAK TRIBE CARVED WOOD FEMALE FIGURE Nagaland, Eastern Himalayas, North-Eastern India, 20th centuryCarved in the round out of a single block of wood, with a bare female figure squatted and seated on a tree stump, with her hands over the bent knees, naked breast, and long hair, her ears pierced and possibly once adorned with earrings, the large almond-shaped eyes set with turquoise beads, possibly representing an ancestor or a semi-divine spirit.47.4cm high The Nagas are Tibeto-Burman ethnic groups native to North Eastern India and North Western Myanmar (Burma). The term Naga might derive from the terms noga or naka, which in the local dialect meant 'people with pierced ears'. In fact, Nagas have very distinctive personal adornments and accessories, and most men were headhunters with elaborate facial tattoos, earned each time an enemy's head was taken. One of the main art forms of Nagas culture is wooden figurines, such as the present example. These figures were serving different functions. Socially, they were used to commemorate special rites of passage or the status of an important person. Ritually, it was believed that some figurines could magically bring a person closer to the spirits and the dead, or grant abundance and fertility. Another important function that these sculptures served was to decorate the entrance and walls of the Morung (Men’s House), a community centre where the tribe gathered.

New Zealand 1845-66, reverse dated 1861 to 1866 (2034. Danl. Mc.Namara, 2nd. Bn. 14th. Regt.) lacquered, contact marks, nearly very fine £300-£400 --- Importation Duty This lot is subject to importation duty of 5% on the hammer price unless exported outside the UK --- --- Daniel McNamara was born in Dartford, Kent, in 1830, and attested for the 40th (2nd Somersetshire) Regiment of Foot on 8 March 1843, aged 14. Initially serving in the United Kingdom, he was later deployed to Australia, arriving in the Australian colonies in 1852, and it is recorded that, as a member of the 40th Regiment band, he played at the Grand Military Harmonic Society concert in Geelong, Victoria on 5 June 1860, playing the trombone. McNamara served with the 40th Regiment of Foot in New Zealand from 24 July 1860; the Band of the 40th were conveyed to shore in surf boats and, with some difficulty, played themselves ashore in the boats! He went on to serve for a period of 6 years and 83 days in New Zealand; during this time, the regiment participated in the major Taranaki battles of 1860-61, held garrison in Auckland on various occasions, collaborated with other regiments in constructing the Great South Road towards the Waikato in 1861-2, and engaged in several significant Waikato battles of 1863-64. He transferred to the 2nd Battalion, 14th Regiment of Foot, on 1 June 1866 whilst still in New Zealand, and was subsequently awarded a Long Service and Good Conduct Medal. He was discharged in Australia on 28 June 1870, after 23 years and 113 days’ man’s service, and died in Melbourne, Australia, on 7 November 1900, aged 70. Note: McNamara should have been issued an undated New Zealand Medal named to the 40th Regiment of Foot, owing to the fact that he was an inter-Regimental transfer whilst in New Zealand, and would thus be shown as non-effective on the roll of the first Regiment with which he served in New Zealand. Instead, he is shown on the medal rolls of the 2/14th Regiment of Foot, and interestingly the medal he was issued bears the dates that the 2/14th saw active service in New Zealand (1861-66), and not the dates that McNamara presumably saw active service in New Zealand (1860-66).

He served during the Great War in H.M.S. Prince of Wales from the outbreak of War to 5 April 1917, and then, after a brief spell at the Royal Marines School of Music, in H.M.S. Marlborough from 23 May 1917 until the cessation of hostilities. He subsequently served in H.M.S. Renown during the Royal Tour of the Prince of Wales to India and Japan from 22 October 1921 to 30 June 1922. Awarded his Long Service and Good Conduct Medal on 30 October 1924, he was pensioned on the termination of his period of engagement on 15 December 1936. Recalled for service during the Second World War, he served at the Royal Naval School of Music from 27 August 1940 to 19 August 1941. Sold with copied service record.
