*Sea Gallantry Medal (Foreign Services), G.V.R., silver issue, for gallantry and humanity (Herbert Person, “Trehawke”. 18th April, 1925.), very fine / nearly extremely fine. Sea Gallantry Medal (Foreign Services), George V issue, awarded to Herbert Person of the Toluma for his part in the rescue of the crew of the S.S. Trehawke in the Straits of Magellan on 17 and 18 April 1925. The S.S. Trehawke, a British cargo steamer of 4,198 tons, was built in 1915 by John Readhead & Sons Ltd of South Shields in north-east England and initially owned by the Hain Steamship Co. Ltd of St. Ives, Cornwall. She was purchased in 1917 by P&O and moved to London but maintained her name & flag. The Toluma began life in 1907 as the Chipana, owned by Grace Line (W. R. Grace & Co.) of New York. In 1921 she was purchased from the New York & Pacific SS Co. by the Norwegian Wilhelm Wilhelmsen Line of Tønsberg and renamed Toluma. She was sold and scrapped in 1932. The citation for the award of the British Sea Gallantry Medal (Foreign Service) for the rescue of the crew of the S.S. Trehawke in the Straits of Magellan on 17 and 18 April 1925 was as follows: ‘The steamship Trehawke, of St. Ives (Hain Steamship Co), stranded in the Straits of Magellan, during a violent gale accompanied by a heavy sea, thick rain and sleet, on the night of 16 April. Next day an attempt was made to launch a lifeboat but it could not live among the rocks. On the night of 17th the Toluma was attracted by rockets and she stood by until daybreak. The sea had slightly moderated when 21 survivors put off in the remaining boat and pulled about one mile through the surf to the Toluma. The exhausted men were assisted on board, but two unfortunately were drowned as a result of the boat being smashed against the vessel’s side by a squall. A boat was immediately launched in charge of the Second Officer and manned by the seamen named from the Norwegian ship, when a search was made for the missing seaman without result. This boat then proceeded at considerable risk, owing to the proximity of the rocks, and heavy seas, and rescued the Master and 12 remaining survivors. The rescued men were later transferred to the Chilean revenue cutter Lencoton which conveyed them into Punta Arenas’. The Sea Gallantry Medal (Foreign Services) Silver Medal was awarded to: Hans Odegaard, Second Officer; James Cunningham, Seaman Hans Olsen, Seaman; Osvald Olsen, Seaman; Herbert Person, Seaman; Peter Soltvedt, Seaman; Arthur Tollefsen, Seaman. Herbert Person was born near the village of Edsbyn in central Sweden and married Selma Embretzen, a Norwegian citizen. A photograph is held in Swedish maritime archives of the couple with Herbert Person wearing the medal (see images).

*Canada General Service, 1866-70, single clasp, Fenian Raid 1866 (Pte. R. Donaghy 4th Chasseurs), official correction to name, extremely fine. Offered with copied roll confirming the recipient as Richard Donaghy, with the above entitlement. The original roll held by the Canadian National Archives confirms that the recipient was present and serving in Canada between June and July 1866 at St Arnaud at the north east point of Lake Champlain, and that he was from nearby Montreal. The Canadian Chasseurs (Chasseurs Canadiens), a Volunteer Militia unit, was raised in November 1861 by Judge Michel Coursol, a leading Montreal jurist who led them against the Fenian Raids of 1866 by Irish Republicans based in the U.S.A., many of them former Union soldiers in the American Civil War. It is interesting to note someone with an Irish surname serving with a predominantly French-Canadian unit and in action against Irish Republicans on Canadian soil.

*A Rare and Interesting Naval Brigade Q.S.A. Group of Three to Commander Charles Richard Newdigate Burne, of H.M.S. Philomel, Royal Navy, author of the famous book ‘With the Naval Brigade in Natal’ and present in command one or more 12-pounder naval guns at many of their major actions including Colenso, Spion Kop and Ladysmith, comprising: Queen’s South Africa Medal, 6 clasps, Cape Colony, Tugela Heights, Orange Free State, Relief of Ladysmith, Transvaal, Laing’s Nek (Lieut. C. R. W. Burne, R.N.); Coronation Medal 1902, in silver; Chile, Order of Merit, Fifth Class breast badge, in silver and enamels; Group court-mounted on bar with reverse brooch pin, some blue enamel damage both sides to last, otherwise the group good very fine (3). M.i.D.: London Gazette, 8 February 1901 (named in General Redvers Buller’s despatch). Commander Charles Richard Newdigate Burne entered the Royal Navy as a Cadet in 1886, became Midshipman in 1889, Sub-Lieutenant in 1893 and then Lieutenant in August 1894. He initially commanded sailing cutters along the Newfoundland coast in 1895, for protection of Treaty obligations (for which he received official thanks); and was present at Crete during the insurrection in 1898. Upon the outbreak of war in South Africa in 1899 he was appointed Naval Transport Officer at Southampton, leaving for Cape Town on 4 November. He served for a time in H.M.S. Doris and Philomel at Durban, Natal, but later landed for active service with the Naval Brigade (or Buller’s Natal Field Force) on 6 December that year, where he was placed in command of two naval 12 pounder guns of H.M.S. Terrible and Tartar. As recorded in his personal journal, which later became the famous book ‘With the Naval Brigade in Natal’ he was present in action during many of the most significant engagements against Boer forces in Natal, including the actions at Colenso (15 December 1899), on the River Tugela including Spion Kop (a photo of which exists in his book showing Burne’s gun team in action) & Vaal Krantz (17 to 27 January 1900). At this latter action, Lieutenant Burne’s gun came under heavy shell fire, as recorded in ‘The Commission of H.M.S. Terrible 1898-1902’ by George Crowe: ‘…even the general staff were not exempt from a visitation of Boer shell. One 6-inch shell struck the ground twenty yards in front of Lieutenant Burne’s right i2-pounder, then ricocheted, unexploded, over their heads, covering the crew with dirt, and twice afterwards these two guns’ crews had narrow escapes.’ Lieutenant Burne was also present during the relief of Ladysmith (28 February1900), further operations in Northern Natal and Transvaal, including Laing’s Nek (May – September 1900). He was mentioned in despatches twice for gallant and meritorious services during the Boer War, and was subsequently noted for early promotion, which saw him appointed to the Royal Yacht Victoria and Albert in August 1900 (and promoted to Commander for his services in South Africa). Although we have no further information regarding his secondment, Commander Burne is also shown in 1914 as ‘lent to Chile’ for which presumably he was awarded the Chilean Order of Merit.

*Naval General Service, 1793-1840, single clasp, 14 March 1795 (R. Honyman, Lieut. R.N.), with segment of original ribbon, old cabinet tone, once very gently polished with light hairlines, otherwise good extremely fine and lustrous. Admiral of the Blue Robert Honyman was born in December 1767 at Orphir, Orkney, son of Sir Patrick Honyman of Clestrain Hall, Stromness (a descendant of Robert, first Earl of Orkney, natural son of James V of Scotland) and Margaret Sinclair; half-brother to William Honyman, Lord Armadale. Educated at Edinburgh, he entered the Royal Navy on 20 April 1782 as Captain’s servant aboard H.M.S. Queen under Captain Patrick Sinclair, his father-in-law, and saw service in the North Sea. He reached the rank of Midshipman the following year in September 1783 whilst aboard the Hyaena on the Irish Station, and then was again promoted to Lieutenant on 21 October 1790 whilst employed aboard the Powerful. On the renewal of hostilities against the French in 1793 he obtained a position aboard H.M.S. Diadem and sailed for the Mediterranean, where he was present at the occupation of Toulon. He was later present aboard H.M.S. St George, the flagship of Sir Hyde Parker, where he was wounded during Admiral William Hotham’s action on 14 March 1795 against the French Fleet off the coast of Genoa (also known as the Battle of Genoa). Fighting alongside their Neapolitan allies, the British won the encounter and captured two French ships of the line in the process; the Ça Ira and Censeur, with Captain Horatio Nelson playing a prominent role in the battle. Receiving a second commission by promotion on 13 August 1796, Captain Honyman assumed command of the sloop Tisiphone on 4 May 1797, and during that same year he was responsible for the capture of the French privateers La Prospére (14) and Le Cerf Volante (14) with a total of 136 men. He achieved the Post-rank of Captain on 10 December 1798, and in 1800 conveyed Admiral Robert Montagu to Jamaica. Whilst serving aboard H.M.S. Leda off the coast of France Captain Honyman took the opportunity to attack an enemy gunboat flotilla on 29 September 1803, driving two gunboats onshore. In another attack on 24 April 1805 he discovered 26 enemy vessels rounding Cape Grisnez, and during a two hour encounter he succeeded in cutting off seven schuyts, carrying a total of 18 guns, 1 howitzer and 168 men travelling from Dunkerque to Ambleteuse. Captain Honyman and the Leda continued to see action during the reduction of the Cape of Good Hope and the capture of the Rolla brig and Volontaire frigate at Table Bay. Honyman also played a part in the operations at Rio de la Plata, and in the capture of the privateer L’Adolphe (18) in December 1807, prior to her wrecking near the entrance of Milford Haven on 31 January 1808, for which Honyman was acquitted of all blame owing to the understandable mistakes of the pilot made in terrible conditions of fog and adverse weather. He became Rear-Admiral on 27 May 1825, Vice-Admiral on 10 January 1837, and full Admiral on 19 February 1847. He was elected M.P. in 1802 for Orkney and Shetland whilst serving the Royal Navy as a Lieutenant, retiring from further parliamentary work in 1807. He was married to Margaret Henrietta Knight, and he died in Paris c. 21 March 1848, as recorded in contemporary newspapers. John Graham of Fintry described Honyman in 1805 as ‘the most warm hearted worthy man I ever saw.’

Douglas-Morris Collection, Part 1, D.N.W., 16 October 1996, lot 378. Arthur Russell Hulbert, of Cavendish Square, Hull, was born on 9 April 1871. He entered the Navy as a Naval Cadet on 15 July 1884, and obtained the highest number of marks and prizes ever obtained in passing out of Britannia Naval College with four firsts and the Beaufort Testimonial Prize. As part of the Peking Expeditionary Relief Force he served ashore as Staff Officer with the Naval Brigade under Captain Callaghan (also of the Endymion), which brought with them four 12-pounder guns from H.M.S. Terrible. For this Lieutenant Hulbert was mentioned in the despatch of Commander C. Craddock, Commanding British Landing Force, Taku: ‘I would especially remark on the fine examples set by Lieut. E. Charrington of H.M.S. “Alacrity”, and Lieut. R. Hulbert of H.M.S. “ Endymion”, in the firing line, both being worthy of the highest praise.’ Hulbert was later presented with his China medal personally by King Edward VII on 8 March 1902, and specially promoted to Commander for his services in China, 9 November 1903. He was promoted Captain on 31 November 1908, and received the 1911 Coronation medal when Captain of H.M.S. Venus at the Fleet Review. Captain Hulbert died before the outbreak of the Great War, having fallen overboard and drowned on 12 January 1913. This recipient was the only officer from H.M.S.
