This very presentation set is recorded by the Colonel’s nephew, the author Francis Charles Philips (1849-1921), in his book, My Varied Life (London, 1914), where he writes ‘My uncle, Colonel James Philips, of the Coldstream Guards, and his brother, Captain Charles Philips, at the commencement of the last century, being on leave from their regiment, went to Rome. They there saw Cardinal York, the brother of Prince Charles Edward, and himself the so-called last of the Stuarts. They told him there were several members of their family who had been executed by the Duke of Cumberland in 1745 for fighting for his brother. The old man gave them a miniature of his brother and two large medals, one silver and the other bronze, bearing the inscription ‘Henry the Ninth, King of Great Britain, France and Ireland, by the will of God but not by the will of men.’ On the box containing the medals was written in the Cardinal's handwriting ‘Given by Cardinal York, last of the Stuarts (royal line) to Col. J. Philips and Captain B. C. Philips, Coldstream Guards. Rome, 1802.’ Alas, the silver medal has been replaced by a second copper example.
