Pair: Petty Officer S. W. White, Royal Navy South Atlantic 1982, with rosette (LS (R) S W White D153915P HMS Argonaut) with named card box of issue; Royal Navy L.S. & G.C., E.II.R., 2nd issue (PO (R) S W White D153915P RN) mounted as worn, good very fine (2) £600-£800 --- The frigate H.M.S. Argonaut, which was commanded by Captain C. H. Layman, M.V.O., R.N., who was awarded the D.S.O., had an eventful war. Entering San Carlos Bay as escort to the amphibian force on 21 May 1982, she came under sustained enemy attack, her first two casualties being caused by cannon fire and rockets launched by an Argentinian Navy Macchi MB339. Later in the day she had the misfortune to attract the attention of six Argentinian Skyhawks which swept in low over the bay, dropping several bombs. Those that missed her exploded in the sea harmlessly, yet the two which failed to detonate caused serious damage, one hitting forward and lodging deep in the forward magazine, where two Seacat missiles detonated, and the other in the boiler room - two men were killed and several more wounded. Yet for the next nine days, during which she witnessed directly the fate of the Ardent and Antelope as the battle raged around her, the Argonaut remained on station and acted as air-defence co-ordinator, in addition to providing valuable support from her weapon systems. Eventually she returned home under her own steam, Lieutenant-Commander B. Dutton, Q.G.M., having successfully dealt with one of the UXBs and won himself a D.S.O. in the process; the other was rendered safe by Sergeant J. Prescott, R.E., who was awarded a unique C.G.M. following his death aboard the Antelope in a subsequent UXB incident.

Broadsword took part in the 1982 Falklands War where, on 25 May 1982, she was providing air defence support to H.M.S.

Pair: Chief Yeoman R. G. Medhurst, Royal Navy South Atlantic 1982, with rosette (ALRO (T) R G Medhurst D158737S HMS Fearless); Gulf 1990-91, no clasp (CY R G Medhurst D158737S RN) mounted as worn, good very fine and better (2) £600-£800 --- Provenance: Oliver Stirling Lee Collection, Dix Noonan Webb, December 2004. In her capacity as a key command ship in the Falklands War, the amphibious assault ship H.M.S. Fearless, commanded by Captain E. J. S. Larken, D.S.O., was frequently the target of enemy aircraft. Although hit by cannon fire on at least one occasion, she did not suffer any serious damage, and was able to carry out various sorties from the anchorage at San Carlos, including the insertion and recovery of landing craft at San Salvador and Fitzroy.
South Atlantic 1982, with rosette (AB (R) A J L Harding D173004F HMS Penelope) nearly extremely fine £500-£700 --- H.M.S. Penelope, a Leander-class Frigate launched in 1962, served during the Falklands War as a close-escort ship, and early on 14 June had a close encounter: ‘Several enemy aircraft, including Exocet carrying Super Etendards, attacked our troops surrounding Stanley and harrassed British shipping. As they opened to the north east they spotted Penelope with a merchantman in company. A missile was launched from the air and most of those on the upper deck saw its menacing red glow as it descended from the launch aircraft and skimmed at wavetop height towards the ship. The ship avoided the missile by violent high speed manoeuvring. It was a most sobering experience. The merchantman, unaware of the dire danger, observed Penelope’s dramatic missile firing actions and signalled, “I enjoyed the firework display”.’
Matthew Boulton’s Medal for Trafalgar 1805, white metal, the reverse field contemporarily engraved ‘Jas. Mason, H.M.S. Conquerer [sic]’, contained in copper-gilt glazed frame with watch-fob suspension, corrosion and pitting, therefore good fine £600-£800 --- Provenance: The Kuriheka Collection, Dix Noonan Webb, June 2006 (Purchased from Spink, March 1909, £1-5-0.) James Mason was born in London and served as an Able Seaman, aged 27, aboard H.M.S. Conqueror at the major fleet action off Cape Trafalgar between the British fleet under the command of Vice-Admiral Lord Nelson and the Franco-Spanish fleet under the command of Vice-Admiral P. C. de Villeneuve on 21 October 1805. At Trafalgar the Conqueror was the fourth ship in the weather column, following immediately after the Victory, Temeraire and Neptune, ‘she engaged the French flagship Bucentaure and the Spanish four-decker Santissima Trinidad. She shot away the former's main and mizen-masts by the board, her fore-mast in a few minutes sharing the same fate; when, after a loss of over four hundred killed and wounded, a white handkerchief was waved from her in token of submission, and Captain Atcherley, Royal Marines, and a party from the Conqueror was sent on board. There they received the swords of the French Commander-in-Chief, Villeneuve, and the senior military officer, General Contamin. The Conqueror, with the Neptune, then turned her attention to the Santissima Trinidad, whose main, mizen, and fore-masts were soon shot away, and she also struck to the two Britishers, which were immediately borne down upon by five of the enemy's ships until other British ships came to the assistance. While the remainder of the combined fleet were making their escape to Cadiz, the Conqueror hauled across the course of one of them which only had her foresail set. Her brave captain stood upon the poop holding the lower corner of a small French jack while he pinned the upper corner with his sword to the stump of the mizen-mast. She fired two or three guns, probably to provoke a return and so perhaps spare the discredit of a tame surrender. The Conqueror's broadside was ready, but Captain Pellew, unwilling to injure the brave French officer, fired a single shot across her bow. The captain lowered the flag, took off his hat, and bowed his surrender. The Conqueror's losses in the battle amounted to twelve killed and wounded, including four officers. She had her mizen topmast and main top-gallant mast shot away. Her fore and main-masts were badly wounded, and her rigging of every sort much cut, while several shot had struck her on the larboard side between wind and water. One of the enemy's shot also cut away the head of the figure at the ship's bow, and the crew, through the first lieutenant, asked permission to have it replaced by one of Lord Nelson. The request was granted, and when the Conqueror arrived at Plymouth after towing the Africa to Gibraltar, a figure of the hero, remarkable for the correct likeness and superior workmanship, and which the crew ornamented at their own expense, was placed at her bow.’ (The Trafalgar Roll, The Officers, The Men, The Ships, by Colonel R. H. Mackensie, refers)
