Three: Able Seaman F. L. G. Ellissen, Royal Navy, a D.E.M.S. Gunner who died at sea on 12 September 1942, when the Cunard White Star liner, S.S. Laconia was torpedoed and sunk by U-156 in shark-infested waters off West Africa, with 1,800 Italian Prisoners of War aboard: on learning of this, the U-Boat commander commenced rescue operations, but his admirable endeavours, and those of other U-Boats that joined the scene, were quickly curtailed by an unfortunate attack delivered by Allied aircraft - and the transmittal of Doenitz’s notorious ‘Laconia Order’ 1939-45 Star; Atlantic Star; War Medal 1939-45, with named Admiralty enclosure, in card box of issued addressed to Mrs. I. M. M. Ellissen, 6 Cardigan Road, Richmond Hill, Surrey’, nearly extremely fine (3) £100-£140 --- Francis Lyon Gordon Ellissen was born in Richmond, Surrey in 1918. He served in the Royal Navy in the Second World War with service number D/JX 199792, as an Able Seaman and a Defensively Equipped Merchant Ship Gunner. He was killed in action when the S.S. Laconia was sunk by U-156 on 12 September 1942, and is commemorated on the Plymouth Naval Memorial. S.S. Laconia The S.S. Laconia was homeward bound from the Cape in September 1942, with some 2,700 people aboard, including 1,800 Italian Prisoners of War under a 160-strong Polish guard, when she was torpedoed by the U-156, commanded by Kapitain Werner Hartenstein, on 12 September 1942, in a position about 500 miles south of Cape Palmas, Liberia and about 360 miles north-east of Ascension Island. Shortly after the liner capsized, the crew of the now surfaced U-Boat were amazed to hear Italian voices yelling amongst the survivors struggling in the water, and on speaking to some of them, Werner Hartenstein immediately began rescue operations, alerting at the same time nearby U-Boats to come to his assistance. Also by radio he contacted his seniors in Germany, asking for instructions and, more courageously, sent out an un-coded message inviting any nearby ships to assist, allied or otherwise, promising not to attack them on the basis his U-Boat, too, was left unmolested. And amazingly, to begin with at least, Berlin replied in the affirmative, although Hitler personally intervened to threaten Admiral Raeder in the event of any U-Boats being lost to enemy action as a result of the rescue operation. Over the next few days, Hartenstein’s ‘rescue package’ achieved commendable results, and by 16 September, U-156 had picked up around 400 survivors, half of which she towed astern in lifeboats, while other enemy U-Boats, the U-506 and the U-507, and the Italian Cappellini, had arrived on the scene and acted with similar compassion. Tragically, on 16 September, an American Liberator bomber, operating out of Ascension Island, attacked the gathered U-Boats, forcing Hartenstein and his fellow captains to cut their tows with the lifeboats and submerge. Mercifully, some Vichy French warships arrived on the scene soon afterwards from Dakar, and in total, including those still aboard the U-Boats, some several hundred men, women and children were saved. But two lifeboats remained undiscovered, their occupants having to endure a living nightmare, adrift without adequate sustenance, under a burning sun, with sharks for company, for several weeks. Following his enforced departure from the scene of rescue on 16 September, Kapitain Hartenstein remained in contact with Berlin, in a vain attempt to complete his worthy task. In the event, he, and his fellow U-Boat commanders, received Doenitz’s infamous ‘Laconia Order’, forbidding any attempt to assist survivors of sunken vessels, a diktat that mercilessly rewrote the conduct of sea warfare (and became one of the charges levelled at the Grand Admiral at Nuremberg). Sold with copied research.
Four: Sergeant A. E. Hammarton, Royal Air Force, who died at sea on 12 September 1942, when the Cunard White Star liner, S.S. Laconia was torpedoed and sunk by U-156 in shark-infested waters off West Africa, with 1,800 Italian Prisoners of War aboard: on learning of this, the U-Boat commander commenced rescue operations, but his admirable endeavours, and those of other U-Boats that joined the scene, were quickly curtailed by an unfortunate attack delivered by Allied aircraft - and the transmittal of Doenitz’s notorious ‘Laconia Order’ 1939-45 Star; Africa Star; Defence and War Medals 1939-45, with named Air Council enclosure, in card box of issue addressed to ‘N. V. Hammarton, 5 Cowslip Road, South Woodford, London E.18’, nearly extremely fine (4) £100-£140 --- Albert Edward Hammarton, prior to transferring to the Royal Air Force, had served as Gunner No. 861173 in 175th Heavy Battery, Royal Artillery (T.A.). During the Second World War he served in the Royal Air Force as Sergeant No. 538645, and had volunteered for service as an Air Gunner, he saw service in 47 (B) Squadron in the Middle East at Heliopolis and at Khartoum, before transferring as operational aircrew to 162 (Wellington) Squadron as Sergeant Wireless Operator. He appears to have become unwell and was transferred No. 7 General Hospital and was then being repatriated to the U.K. aboard the Laconia when he died at sea on 12 September 1942. He has no known grave and is commemorated on the Alamein Memorial, Egypt. S.S. Laconia The S.S. Laconia was homeward bound from the Cape in September 1942, with some 2,700 people aboard, including 1,800 Italian Prisoners of War under a 160-strong Polish guard, when she was torpedoed by the U-156, commanded by Kapitain Werner Hartenstein, on 12 September 1942, in a position about 500 miles south of Cape Palmas, Liberia and about 360 miles north-east of Ascension Island.

A Second War ‘Pacific Operations’ D.S.C. group of seven awarded to Surgeon Lieutenant-Commander A. C. K. Yates, Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve: decorated for his gallantry and skill in ministering to the wounded of the aircraft carrier H.M.S. Indefatigable during Japanese “kamikaze” attacks in 1945, he went on to win the Liverpool Shipwreck and Humane Society’s Marine Medal while serving as Ship’s Surgeon in the R.M.S. Queen Mary in 1955 - one newspaper declaring the latter incident to be ‘one of the most daring rescues ever carried out by a giant liner’s crew’ Distinguished Service Cross, G.VI.R., the reverse officially dated ‘1945’; 1939-45 Star; Atlantic Star; Africa Star; Burma Star, clasp, Pacific; War Medal 1939-45; Liverpool Shipwreck and Humane Society’s Marine Medal, bronze (To Arthur K. Yates for Gallant Service, 30/1/55), mounted as worn, good very fine or better (7) £3,600-£4,400 --- D.S.C. London Gazette 23 October 1945: ‘For gallantry, skill and great devotion to duty during operations performed in collaboration with the United States Pacific Fleet in the capture of Okinawa and the Nansei Shoto area, over the period 26 March to 20 April 1945.’ Arthur Charles Kingsgate Yates qualified in medicine at Sydney University in 1922, and served as an Honorary Assistant Gynaecologist at the Royal South Sydney Hospital before coming to the U.K. in 1925, where he was appointed a F.R.C.S. (Edinburgh). Later on, however, he journeyed South to take up an appointment as a Clinical Assistant at the Great Ormonde Street Hospital for Sick Children in London. The War Years Joining the “Wavy Navy” as a Surgeon Lieutenant in November 1939, Yates was serving as a Temporary Acting Surgeon Lieutenant-Commander in the cruiser H.M.S. Hermione by March 1941, in time, therefore, for her part in the Bismarck episode later that year and, indeed, for the action in which she rammed and sank the Italian submarine Tambien off Tunis that August. In fact, as a component of “Force H”, the Hermione went on to see extensive action in the Mediterranean right up until her loss on 16 June 1942, when she was torpedoed north of Sollum by the U-202 - she went down stern first with eight officers and 79 ratings out of her complement of about 450 men. It is probable that Yates was present on the same occasion, for he is still listed as her Surgeon in the Navy List of February 1942. Having then returned to the U.K., where he enjoyed a long posting ashore at President, Yates joined the aircraft carrier Indefatigable. And by early 1945, her F.A.A. aircraft were hotly engaged against assorted Japanese targets in “Operation Iceberg”, when she lent support to the U.S. landings at Okinawa. It was at the commencement of the latter operation, on 1 April 1945, that Indefatigable became the first British victim of a kamikaze aircraft, being hit on the flight deck above her “island” superstructure, the detonation of the Zero’s 500lb. bomb wrecking both flight deck barriers and the briefing room. Moreover, in so far as Yates was concerned, it also wrecked the flight deck sick bay - eight men were killed instantly, and the final casualty total was four officers and ten ratings killed, and 16 wounded. Nor were these the only casualties with which Yates had to contend, F.A.A. aircrew sometimes returning wounded from operations. A case in point would be Sub. Lieutenant D. M. James, R.N.V.R., an Avenger pilot, who was seriously wounded in the thigh by 13mm. shellfire on 17 May 1945 - he carried out an emergency landing on Indefatigable’s flight deck and was taken below to Yates but sadly died of his wounds later that day. Following repairs at Sydney, the Indefatigable returned to an operational footing, and her aircraft were in action right up until 15 August 1945, on which date they fought the last air-to-air combat of the War. Throughout this period she remained under threat from further kamikaze attacks. Most probably, however, the catalyst behind the award of Yates’ D.S.C. dated back to Indefatigable’s first painful experience of “The Divine Wind” on 1 April 1945. High drama in the North Atlantic As evidenced by Yates’ subsequent award of the Liverpool Shipwreck and Humane Society’s Marine Medal, his post-war career also took him to sea, and his part in the rescue of two injured seamen from the S.S. Liberator in the North Atlantic on 30 January 1955, was certainly one of high drama - all the more remarkable then that the Queen Mary’s captain later reported that his surgeon ‘looked as fresh and smiling as if he was just going in to bat for his home team in Sydney, Australia’. The Society’s records state: ‘At 15.40 hours on 29 January 1955, the Queen Mary received a radio message from the S.S. Liberator asking for medical aid for two members of crew who were seriously injured. A reply was dispatched immediately informing the Master that the Queen Mary would proceed towards Liberator. A rendezvous was made and the Liberator was reached at 0.30 hours on 30 January. At 2.01 hours the Queen Mary lowered No. 1 sea boat in charge of Mr. L. K. Goodier, Senior 1st Officer, which took across the Ship’s Surgeon, Dr. A. C. K. Yates, and the ship’s Second Dispenser Mr. A. J. Chapman. The Liberator’s gunwale was about 30 feet from the water line and she was rolling heavily. With the ship’s roll and the high sea the boat, when alongside the Liberator was rising and falling approximately 25 feet up and down the ship’s side, against which it was being thrown heavily. When the boat first arrived there was a ladder over the Liberator’s lee side, but so far aft that the boat could not approach it owing to the danger of getting water under the counter, or of going on to the propeller which was half above water. The ladder was eventually moved to amidships, but because of the language difficulties it was decided to put a seaman on board to assist the surgeon and to convey the 1st Officer’s requirements as to boat ropes and lowering lines. Able Seaman Marrington jumped on to the ladder when the boat was on top of a sea - the next sea brought the boat higher up the ship’s side and but for his agility he would have been crushed between the ship and boat. When Marrington got on board he had a line lowered for the Surgeon and Dispenser, who were hoisted up clear of the boat and on to the ladder. From the time the boat left the Queen Mary the wind and sea had been increasing in force to a fresh gale, high sea and heavy confused swell with fierce rain squalls. After getting the Surgeon and Dispenser on board the 1st Officer considered it was too dangerous to lie alongside, or in the lee of the Liberator while the surgeon was examining the injured men, so he returned to lie in the lee of the Queen Mary.’ At this juncture, it was decided to hoist the No. 1 sea boat back aboard the Queen Mary, the latter’s captain remaining convinced that the prevailing conditions would make it near impossible to return to collect Yates and colleagues. He was, therefore, very surprised to receive a radio message reporting that he did indeed intend to return to the Queen Mary with the two injured men. The Society’s records continue: ‘At 3.33 the boat was again lowered and sent away with a different volunteer crew in charge of Mr. P. A. Read, Chief Officer, and reached the Liberator at 03.48 hours. They then took aboard Dr. Yates, the Dispenser and the seamen from the Queen Mary and the two injured seamen from the Liberator and returned to the Queen Mary at 04.27 hours. The second boat’s crew experien...
