Jackie Smythe VC signed 1970 National Army Museum Victoria Cross Cover. 25 October 1893 – 26 April 1983 In June 1915 Smyth was awarded the Victoria Cross, the United Kingdom's highest award for bravery in combat. The citation for this award, published in the London Gazette read: For most conspicuous bravery near Richebourg L'Avoue on 18 May 1915. With a bombing party of 10 men, who voluntarily undertook this duty, he conveyed a supply of 96 bombs to within 20 yards of the enemy's position over exceptionally dangerous ground, after the attempts of two other parties had failed. Lieutenant Smyth succeeded in taking the bombs to the desired position with the aid of two of his men (the other eight having been killed or wounded), and to effect his purpose he had to swim a stream, being exposed the whole time to howitzer, shrapnel, machine-gun and rifle fire Good condition. Item comes with lifetime guarantee of authenticity and COA from an AFTAL registered dealer.
Lot 925
Battle of Copenhagen (?), Nelson Badge bearing the date of the Battle aprl 2 1801, cast in silver, oval portrait of Nelson with title adml. lord nelson of the nile. around and with date below, aprl 2 1801, having integrally-cast suspension ring and trophy-of-arms garniture including a fouled anchor, the smoothed reverse with contemporary engraving tonnant 80 g below a pair of crossed ship’s spars, 47mm x 45mm (cf Hardy 26; MH 492), very fine, suspended on a short silver watch-chain loop, extremely rare NOTE: Ex Morton & Eden 53, 1 December 2011, lot 1388. The evidently-struck copper-gilt badge used as the prototype for this and other cast badges is illustrated by Sim Comfort in his article The Naval Copenhagen Badge (in MCA Advisory vol. 4, no. 8, pp. 8-14). The piece discussed is surrounded by an elaborate contoured mount with the inscription in memory of the battle of copenhagen, only the lower part of which (without the inscription) is reproduced on the cast badges. Comfort proceeds to list the six examples of the cast badge in the National Maritime Museum, pointing out that two of them (engraved Orion 74 and Mars 74) are, like the present lot, inscribed with the names of ships which were not present at Copenhagen. Contrastingly, one of the gilt metal badges (object ID MEC 1170) is named on the reverse to Captain J. Rose of the 24-gun Jamaica which was present at Copenhagen; similarly the gold piece described by Milford Haven is to Captain George Murray of the Edgar, the ship which led Nelson’s squadron into battle at Copenhagen. Comfort’s own conclusions regarding these various cast medals remain controversial. Admiral The Marquess of Milford Haven (writing in 1919) listed and illustrated the gold specimen to Captain Murray, from the Payne Collection, and was moved to speculate that the badges may have represented a special award for Copenhagen sponsored by Nelson’s prize agent Alexander Davison, made in the face of a general failure by the authorities to render official recognition of individual contributions at the Battle. Whilst contemporary Press reports indicate that Davison was actively considering a Copenhagen medal in the wake of his successful Battle of the Nile awards, examination of the extensive Davison papers has so far yielded no evidence that this ever occurred. In addition to the NMM’s six examples a silver badge is held at the National Royal Naval Museum, Portsmouth as part of the Lily Lambert Collection, bearing the ship’s name Donegal 74, and a further specimen is in the Royal Greenjackets’ Museum (officers of the Rifle Corps were present at Copenhagen as sharpshooters). The present lot, however, appears to be the only specimen to have been offered for public sale in recent times.
