UNITED STATES INTEREST. General Edward Braddock (January 1695 – 13 July 1755) British officer and commander-in-chief for the Thirteen Colonies during the start of the French and Indian War and Seven Years' War, a heraldic coat of arms, mid-18th century, Sable blazon, a bend engrailed Argent in the sinister chief, an eagle displayed Or., oil on canvas, 26.2cm wide x 21.3cm high, unframed. Provenance:Family descent through the Gosse line. General Braddock was the brother of the vendor's 6th great-grandfather.This coat of arms is mentioned in the following publication: NOTES AND QUERIES. JULY 28, 1855"General Braddock (Vol. xi., p. 283.). - I obtained the following particulars from an old man, a small farmer at Martham in this county, the grand-nephew, and, as it would appear from his statement, the only representative of the General. ... William Braddock has several sons and daughters, who are all tradespeople. The old man has no papers on the subject, except a shield of arms: Sa., a bend engrailed arg., in the sinister chief an eagle displayed or; crest, an eagle displayed sa. This he inherited from his sister Martha Bexford, who he thinks had other documents, now lost, relating to the general's family.” Footnote:Born in 1695 as the son of Major-General Edward Braddock of the Coldstream Guards, Braddock embarked on a military career, following his father's path into the British army. At the tender age of 15, he received his commission as ensign in his father's regiment on 11 October 1710, subsequently advancing to lieutenant of the Grenadier Company in 1716. Braddock's ascent through the ranks continued steadily. At 41, he attained the rank of captain in 1736, followed by promotion to major in 1743 and lieutenant colonel in November 1745.His military service included participation in the Siege of Bergen op Zoom in 1747. On 17 February 1753, Braddock assumed the prestigious role of colonel of the 14th Regiment of Foot, and the subsequent year witnessed his promotion to major-general. Appointed to lead British forces against the French in America, General Braddock arrived in Hampton, Virginia, with two regiments of British regulars on 20 February 1755. Following discussions with colonial governors at the Congress of Alexandria on 14 April, Braddock committed to aggressive actions against the French, coordinating attacks on multiple fronts: including General William Johnson at Fort Saint-Frédéric, Colonel Robert Monckton at Fort Beausejour, and Braddock himself leading an expedition against Fort Duquesne (now Pittsburgh) at the Forks of the Ohio River.Despite facing administrative hurdles and resource shortages promised by the colonials, Braddock's expedition eventually mobilised with a select column, including volunteer officer George Washington. Crossing the Monongahela River on 9 July 1755, Braddock's forces encountered a joint Indian and French resistance from Fort Duquesne. While initial musket exchanges favoured the British, the enemy swiftly outmanoeuvred them, subjecting Braddock's troops to devastating crossfire. Braddock, fatally wounded during the engagement, succumbed to his injuries on 13 July.The circumstances surrounding Braddock's demise remain debated. An article in The Roanoke Times from 1951 suggests he was mistakenly shot by an American soldier named Benjamin Bolling, prompting George Washington to assume command and orchestrate a retreat, purportedly sparing American lives caught in the crossfire.Washington, along with Colonel Nicholas Meriwether, carried Braddock from the battlefield. Before his death, Braddock entrusted Washington with his ceremonial sash and pistols, which Washington kept throughout his life, eventually displaying the sash at Mount Vernon, his estate on the Potomac River.Braddock's burial occurred near Great Meadows, with his grave intentionally obscured by wagons to prevent desecration by Native American forces. George Washington officiated at the burial due to the chaplain's incapacitation. Condition:In unrestored condition with several small holes and one tear to the canvas

London Gazette 29 September 1922; Admiral Sir, K.C.B., K.C.M.G., K.C.V.O. William Pakenham, the second son of Rear-Admiral the Hon. Thomas Pakenham, was born in London on 10 July 1861, and entered Britannia in 1874. Promoted Midshipman in 1876, he went to sea in the Monarch in the Mediterranean, and the next year was transferred to the Frigate Raleigh. In August 1878, as the ship was leaving Larnaka, Cyprus, the Coxswain fell overboard. Pakenham and an Able Seaman dived in after him and were afterwards highly commended for their gallantry in rescuing him. In September 1879 Pakenham joined the Alexandra, Flagship successively of Sir Phillip Hornby and Sir F. Seymour, and stayed in her until promotion to Sub-Lieutenant in October 1880. Having undergone the Gunnery Course in Excellent at Portsmouth, he returned to the Alexandra before being appointed to the Canada, which was destined to join the North America Squadron. In this ship Pakenham was the ‘strict though benevolent autocrat’ in charge of the Gun-room Mess, which counted among its members Prince George (later George V). He became Lieutenant in 1883 and next served as Flag-Lieutenant to Admiral Sir George Tryon during his command of the Australia Station from 1884 to 1887. The next nine years were spent in small Cruisers in the Training Squadron, and in one of these, the Calypso, he distinguished himself by a brave attempt to save the life of a Petty Officer who had fallen from the foreyard into Kiel Harbour. Promoted Commander in June 1896, and having qualified as an interpreter in French while on Half-pay in 1884, he was selected for duty in Naval Intelligence from 1899 to 1901. He then commanded the Sloop Daphne on the China Station, and briefly served in command of the Flagship Albion, before returning home again in 1902. At this time, war between Russia and Japan was imminent, and Pakenham’s Intelligence experience combined with his linguistic abilities marked him out as the Officer to succeed Captain Ernest Troubridge, who was due for relief as Naval Attache in Japan. War finally broke out on 6 February 1904; Pakenham arrived in March, taking Troubridge’s place in the battleship Asahi, in which he remained continuously until the final Japanese victory at the battle of Tsushima on 27 May 1905. Indeed, it was said of Pakenham that no British Sea Officer since Nelson had been so long afloat without setting foot on shore. His sangfroid under fire greatly impressed the men of the Japanese Navy: at the Battle of Tsushima, the casemate on which he was standing to observe the proceedings was struck by a shell causing several casualties, and his white uniform was splashed with blood. Deeming it inappropriate to continue, he quietly slipped away, only to return a few minutes later in spotless attire and to resume taking his notes. His reports to the Admiralty throughout the War were brilliantly written and revealed a thorough appreciation of the strategic, tactical, and technical implications of the events and situations which he described. His disdainful attitude to personal danger led to Admiral Togo’s recommendation to the Emperor that he should be given the Rising Sun, and his observations for the Admiralty resulted in him being ‘specially appointed C.B.’ soon after the Battle. Upon returning to England he was successively appointed to the command of the Antrim, the Glory, the Triumph, and the Collingwood. In December 1911, Winston Churchill (who later paid tribute to him in his book of 1923, The World Crisis), in reconstituting his Board soon after taking office, selected him to be the Fourth Sea Lord owing to his ‘strong character’ and ‘unique experience of modern naval warfare’. Advanced to Flag Rank in 1913, he left the Board to take command of the 3rd Cruiser Squadron, Home Fleet, with his Flag in his old ship Antrim, in which he narrowly missed being torpedoed by a U-boat on 9 October 1914. In March 1915, with his flag in the Australia, he took charge of one of the two Battle-Cruiser Squadrons which belonged to the Australian Commonwealth, and which had been lent for service in the Grand Fleet after the victory of the Falkland Islands. Accordingly, he held the titular appointment of Rear-Admiral Commanding the Australian Fleet. During the Battle of Jutland on 31 May 1916, Pakenham flew his Flag in the New Zealand, the Australia having been damaged in a collision with the New Zealand in a fog a month earlier. His remaining ship, the Indefatigable, was blown up early in the battle. Pakenham dist...

William Montague Dowell entered the Navy as First-Class Volunteer on board the Druid 44, Captains. Lord Henry John Spencer Churchill and Henry Smith. Uniting in the operations on the Coast of China, he served in the boats in the attack upon the enemy’s works and barracks near the Macao Barrier in August 1840, and was present in the early part of 1841 at the destruction of the Bogue forts. He also, as Midshipman of the Blenheim 72, Captain Thomas Herbert - to which ship he was lent from May 41 until June 1842 - assisted in the boats at the capture of Canton, on board at the reduction of Amoy, and on shore with the small-arm men at the second capture of Chusan, and the storming of Chinghae and Ningpo. On the paying off of the Druid Dowell became attached, in the spring of 1843, to the Racer 16, on the coast of Brazil, where he was frequently engaged on boat service against slavers. He passed his examination 2 July 1845, and in the course of the following month was appointed Mate of the Eagle 50, Captain George Bohun Martin, also on the South American station. He had charge of the Eagle’s launch at the capture of Colonia; and with the small-arm men of that ship under his orders, he formed part of the garrison of Monte Video during the latter part of 1845 and for twelve months up to July 1847 was Governor and Commandant of an island in the harbour. For these services he was promoted to Lieutenant in October 1847. When Eagle was paid off in March 1848, he was appointed to Excellent from which, after a severe course of study extending over two years, he was appointed in May 1850 Gunnery Lieutenant of Albion, going out to the Mediterranean where the ship was when the war with Russia broke out. After some service with the Naval Brigade in course of which he was wounded, Dowell was promoted to Commander in November 1854. In the following year he married his first cousin, Caroline Johanna, daughter of Captain John Pyke, R.N. and in January 1856 he was appointed to Rodney with Captain George Knyvett Wilson, and in her went to the Crimea to bring home troops. In August 1857 he commissioned Hornet in which he arrived in China in time to take an effective part in the reduction of Canton, when he united with Captain W. K. Hall, R.N., and Captain Mann, R.E., in placing in position, on the Dutch Folly, a battery of 2 13-inch and 2 10-inch sea-service mortars, and 2 24-pounder rockets, under the direction of Major Schomberg, R.M., the fire from which played on Magazine Hill, the City heights, and Gough’s fort, and on the other forts to the northward of the city outside the walls. In the course of the same day, at the head of his small-arm men, Captain Dowell was engaged, under Hon. Captain Cochrane of the Niger, in dislodging a large body of Chinese from two important joss-houses, and in driving them back from ridge to ridge until they reached their main force. “The gallant conduct of Commander Dowell,” observes Sir Michael Seymour in his despatch, “and of the officers and men generally in the face of greatly superior numbers, has been brought to my notice.” At the storming of the Canton, on the 29th, Captain Dowell was attached to the 3rd division of the Naval Brigade under Sir Robert M’Clure. As a reward for these services he was promoted to the rank of Captain in February 1858. In September 1862 he commissioned the Barrosa again for the China Station and in September 1864 was specially mentioned for his gallantry and conduct in action with the batteries in the Straits of Simonoseki. On 12 September he was appointed Flag Captain to Admiral Sir Augustus Kuper in Euryalus, and on 30 November was nominated a C.B., and at the same time was made an Officer of the Legion of Honour. Euryalus returned and was paid off in the Summer of 1865, and from 1867 to 1871 Dowell, as Commodore of the Second Class, was Commander in Chief on the West Africa Station. In 1870 he was appointed one of the Queen's Naval Aides de Camp. He became a Rear-Admiral in December 1875 and Senior Officer on the coast of Ireland 1878-80. He became Vice-Admiral in January 1880 and Commander-in-Chief of the Channel Fleet in 1882-83, during part of which time in 1882 the Fleet was temporarily attached to the Mediterranean Command for service on the coast of Egypt, for which he was awarded the K.C.B., and the Order of Osmanieh of the Second Class, and received the thanks of Parliament. In 1884-85 he was Commander-in-Chief in China, vacating the office on his promotion to the rank of Admiral in July 1885. In 1886 he was President of a Committee for the Revision of Naval Signals, and in 1888 he was appointed Commander-in-Chief at Devonport, until August 1890 when he retired under the age limit. In 1891 he was awarded a Good Service Pension, and in the Summer of that year was Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Naval Exhibition held at Chelsea, the success of which was largely due to his zealous attention. On 25 May 1895 he was created a G.C.B. Dowell, who during his retirement lived for the most part at Ford, took an active part in the affairs of Bideford, and was a Magistrate and Deputy Lieutenant of Devon. In 1904 when the freedom of Bideford was bestowed on him, he said 'I came into the Navy at a time when wars little and big were going on, and I was just at the age to benefit by them. I became a young Lieutenant, young Commander, young Captain, and a young Admiral. I had many commands, and fortunately, unlike so many of my brother officers who entered the service earlier or later than myself, had many chances of distinguishing myself.’
