Naval General Service 1793-1840, 1 clasp, Trafalgar (William Wild.) clasp facing slightly buckled on left-hand side, otherwise nearly extremely fine £5,000-£7,000 --- Importation Duty This lot is subject to importation duty of 5% on the hammer price unless exported outside the UK --- --- Provenance: Glendining’s, November 1987. William Wild is confirmed on the roll as a Private, Royal Marines aboard H.M.S. Temeraire (Captain E. Harvey) during 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. He is the only man with these names on the roll. ‘At Trafalgar she was the second ship in the weather line, closely following the Victory, and her share in the action was particularly brilliant. When the Victory was engaged with the Redoutable, the Temeraire came up to starboard of the French 74, and also engaged her. This was after Nelson had fallen, and the first broadside of the Temeraire checked an attempt at boarding the Victory which the French were about to make. The fight of the little two-decker against the pair of three-deckers was heroic. The top-men of the Redoutable flung down hand-grenades and fire-balls till they set fire to the deck, larboard forechains, starboard foreshrouds and foresail; one fire-ball rolled into the magazine among the powder barrels, and only the presence of mind of a master-at-arms saved the Temeraire from the fate of the Orient at the battle of the Nile. In the mean time a new antagonist, the French 80-gun ship Fougueux had come up on the starboard quarter of the Temeraire, which had been suffering also from the fire of the Neptune. She looked nothing but a cripple, and the Fougueux came up determined to board her. When less than fifty yards separated the vessels, the starboard broadside of the Temeraire crashed into the French ship, sweeping her rigging and upper works bare, leaving her whole side a mass of splinters. She drove into the Temeraire, was lashed fast, and twenty-eight men under Lieut. T. F. Kennedy sprang on to her deck—where the gallant French captain lay mortally wounded—and fought their way to the stump of the mainmast. In ten minutes they had the British colours hoisted, and the Fougueux—which unfortunately foundered in the subsequent gale, with the prize crew on board—was a prize of war to the Temeraire, which had also the Victory’s prize, the Redoutable, lashed to her. “Nothing could be finer,” wrote Lord Collingwood, than her conduct in the fight — “I have no words in which I can sufficiently express my admiration of it.” As the smoke of the battle cleared away she was seen lying dismantled and temporarily helpless, but with an enemy’s ship, equally helpless, a prize on each side of her. Her losses amounted to 121 killed and wounded, including 9 officers, while 43 of her crew perished in the prizes after the battle. She had her main top-mast, the head of her mizen-mast, her foreyard, and her fore and main topsail yards shot away; her fore and main-masts were so badly wounded as to be unfit to carry sail; while her bowsprit was shot through in several places. Her rigging of every sort was cut to pieces, and she was otherwise seriously damaged.’ (The Trafalgar Roll by Colonel R. H. Mackenzie refers) Wild was born in Amport, Hampshire. He enlisted in the Portsmouth Division of the Royal Marines, and his subsequent service included with H.M. Ships Goliath, Temeraire and Canada. Sold with copied research.

1863 Confederate States of America $100 share certificate, complete and uncut, framed.

2nd-4th century A.D. or later. A carved schist head with tightly curled hair, wreath to the brow with a vine-leaf at each temple, curled moustache and beard, ears with long lobes; mounted on a custom-made stand. For a similar head, in terracotta, see The Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession no.1979.507.2. 3.75 kg, 29.5 cm (11 1/2 in.). With the arrival of Greek colonists into Central Asia and Northern India and the establishment of the Indo-Greek kingdom, came Greek culture and religion which merged with that of the local population. Greek deities, such as Dionysus, were often merged with Buddhist deities, or worshipped in their own right. The image of Dionysus as a mature male with beard and wreath is often referred to as the Indian Dionysus as it depicts the god after his triumphant return from the East with his retinue of Maenads. The adventures of Dionysus in India are recounted in the Greek epic poem, the Dionysiaca. The image of Dionysus returning from India in a chariot pulled by tigers was a favourite for Classical artists and often appeared on sarcophagi as an allegory for the rebirth of the soul. Drinking wine, dancing, and music making were popular subjects for the embellishment of early Buddhist religious centres. The Buddha condemned intoxicants, and music and dance were considered unfit for the monastic community, although they were tolerated in lay contexts. The reason for the depiction of scenes of revelry, along with the Greek god Dionysus, may be the earlier, pre-Buddhist practices celebrating abundance and agricultural prosperity, which involved wine drinking. Dionysus may have been transformed and and understood in the Gandharan context as the South Asian god Indra, whom lay followers would have known as the deity who rules over the paradise known as the Trayastrimsa heaven. As the lay Buddhist community was more concerned with having a positive rebirth (enlightenment being out of reach for all but the most learned of monks) the idea of being reborn in a heaven associated with Indra would no doubt have been attractive. It is thought that the influence of Dionysus on Indian culture may have inspired the development of the Hindu deities Shiva and Krishna, both of whom share similar characteristics to the Greek god.Acquired 1960-1980s. From an important London, W1, collection. Private collection, England.

Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) - a pair of mid-20th century c1940s gold plated and faux tortoise shell Windsor style circular rimmed spectacles, by repute owned and worn by Mahatma Gandhi, during a visit to Calcutta (Kolkata) c1947, whilst visiting his friend and fellow freedom-fighter Satish Chandra Roy. Gold plated, with sprung round-ear arms, the glass lenses united by a shaped bridge section. Housed within their original sprung metal and paper covered case, carrying the address of the Calcutta Optical Co, 45 Amherst Street, Calcutta. No maker's marks present on the glasses and the lenses being simple (non-reading) prescription lenses. Supplied with a full and detailed letter of provenance from the vendor. Spectacles formed an important and iconic part of Gandhi's overall appearance. It was well known that he would often give away his old or unwanted pairs to those in need or those who had helped him, or cared for him in some way. An abundance of spectacles were always on hand for him - opticians would readily make Gandhi spectacles whenever required, very often without charge. A rare and historically important lot. Provenance; these spectacles were once owned by Satish Chandra Roy - Indian politician and freedom fighter. Several documented meetings between Gandhi and Satish Chandra Roy are known. Mahatma Gandhi stayed with Satish Chandra Roy on several occasions at his home in Calcutta and later again in Bangladesh. Whilst staying with Satish Chandra Roy, Gandhi carried out all his meetings with local politicians and dignitaries. Gandhi left many items behind after his final stay with Roy (notably for a period of three days c1947), this pair of spectacles being one of the items. Other items from the collection of Satish Chandra Roy have previously sold via this saleroom, including two further pairs of spectacles in 2021. Other items feature within this sale. A full and comprehensive letter of provenance is supplied by the vendor (a relative of Satish Chandra Roy), and the vendor is happy to share their contact information with the winning bidder should any further provenance be required. The exact contents of the provenance letter will be supplied to the winning bidder only.  Our Notes: although these spectacles differ in type - but not style - from Gandhi's traditional gold-rimmed spectacles, he was known to wear a number of different types over his lifetime. Photographs exist of various forms of 'Windsor' spectacles - from gold rimmed, to steel, to black-rimmed spectacles and other variations. Gandhi wore similar dark-rimmed spectacles during his 73 hour fast in 1947 in an attempt to bring peace to warring communities shortly after independence (pictured). The Calcutta Optical Co first opened in December 1946, and the street where upon they were based now runs through Mahatma Gandhi Road, named such in 1947 after gaining Independence. An opticians still exists at the address, but there are no surviving records from the period. The shape and position of the nose bridge matches previously sold spectacles and the prescription is of a similar strength to other known examples. The spectacles survive in generally good but used condition, with some wear - including cracks to the tortoiseshell around the arms and lenses, but all should be considered commensurate with their age.

**Collection of Three Acoustic Guitars and Two Brightly Coloured Ukuleles** This collection showcases a diverse array of stringed instruments, comprising three acoustic guitars and two ukuleles. The three acoustic guitars, presenting a harmonious blend of natural wood finishes, each exhibit their own unique characteristics. Central among them stands a "Currier" branded guitar, identifiable by its round sound hole label and classic design. The acoustic guitars on either side share analogous body shapes and natural finishes, with the instrument on the right boasting intricately decorated sound holes that add a refined touch of artistry to its appearance. For a dash of vibrant charm, the assemblage also includes two ukuleles, distinguishable by their smaller stature and bright coloured finishes. One ukulele features a striking red hue with a darker top, exuding a simple and minimalist aesthetic. The other ukulele is adorned in a lively blue, making it equally eye-catching. Both ukuleles contrast delightfully with the natural tones of the acoustic guitars, collectively offering a visually appealing and sonically versatile set ideal for musicians and collectors alike.

JOSEPH HENDERSON RSW (SCOTTISH 1832 - 1908), AYRSHIRE SEASCAPE oil on canvas, signed framedimage size 67cm x 100cm, overall size 96cm x 123cm Note: Joseph Henderson was born on 10 June 1832 in Stanley, Perthshire, He was the third of four boys. When he was about six, the family moved to Edinburgh and took up residence in Broad Street. The two older boys joined their father, also Joseph, as stone masons. Joseph’s father died when Joseph was eleven leaving his mother, Marjory Slater, in straightened circumstances. As a result, Joseph and his twin brother, James, were sent to work at an early age and the thirteen-year-old Joseph was apprenticed to a draper/hosier. At the same time, he attended part-time classes at the Trustees’ Academy, Edinburgh. At the age of seventeen, on 2 February 1849, he enrolled as an art student in the Academy. From the census of 1851, Marjory, Joseph and James were living at 5 Roxburgh Place, Edinburgh. Marjory was now a ‘lodging housekeeper’ with two medical students as boarders. James was a ‘jeweller’ while Joseph was a ‘lithographic drawer’. In the same year Joseph won a prize for drawing at the Academy enabling him, along with fellow students, W. Q. Orchardson, W. Aikman and W. G. Herdman, to travel to study the works of art at the Great Exhibition in London, which he found to be a very formative experience. He left the Academy about 1852-3 and settled in Glasgow. He is first mentioned in the Glasgow Post Office Directory for 1857-8 where he is listed as an artist living at 6 Cathedral Street. Joseph Henderson’s first exhibited work was a self-portrait which was shown at the Royal Scottish Academy (RSA) in 1853. He painted several portraits of friends and local dignitaries including a half-length portrait of his friend John Mossman in 1861. His painting, The Ballad Singer established his reputation as one of Scotland`s foremost artists when exhibited at the RSA in 1866. Throughout his career he continued in portraiture. He executed portraits of James Paton (1897) a founder and superintendent of the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum (this portrait was bequeathed to Kelvingrove in 1933) and Alexander Duncan of the Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow. He also painted Mr. Scott Dickson, Sir Charles Cameron, Bart., DL, LLD (1897) and Sir John Muir, Lord Provost of Glasgow (1893). His portrait of councillor Alexander Waddell (1893) was presented to Kelvingrove in 1896. However, it is probably as a painter of seascapes and marine subjects that he became best known. His picture Where Breakers Roar attracted much attention when exhibited at the Royal Glasgow Institute (RGI) in 1874, ‘as a rendering of angry water’. Henderson was in part responsible for raising the profile and status of artists in Glasgow and was a member of the Glasgow Art Club (he was President in 1887-8), the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts (founded 1861) and the Royal Society of Painters in Watercolour. Between 1853 and 1892, he exhibited frequently at the RSA and at the RGI and between 1871 and 1886 he had twenty pictures accepted for the Royal Academy in London. In 1901 he was entertained at a dinner by the President and Council of the Glasgow Art Club to celebrate his jubilee as a painter. He was presented with a solid gold and silver palette. An inscription on the palette read: ‘Presented to Joseph Henderson, Esq., R.S.W. by fellow-members of the Art Club as a mark of esteem and a souvenir of his jubilee as a painter, 8th January 1901’ Joseph Henderson was married three times. On 8 January 1856 he married Helen Cosh (d. 1866) with whom he had four children including a daughter Marjory who became the second wife of the artist William McTaggart. On 30 September 1869 he married Helen Young (d. 1871) who bore him one daughter and in 1872 he married Eliza Thomson with whom he had two daughters and who survived him. Two of his sons, John (1860 – 1924) and Joseph Morris (1863 – 1936) became artists; John was Director of the Glasgow School of Art from 1918 to 1924. By 1871 he had moved with his family; wife Helen, daughter Marjory and sons James, John and Joseph and his mother Marjory from Cathedral Street to 183 Sauchiehall Street. He also employed a general servant. He is described in the census as a ‘portrait painter’. In 1881, Joseph was living at 5 La Belle Place, Glasgow with Eliza, two sons and four daughters. He later moved to 11 Blythswood Square, Glasgow. In the 1901 census he was still at this address with his wife Eliza, sons John and Joseph and daughter Mary and Bessie. His occupation is ‘portrait and marine painter’. Joseph Henderson painted many of his seascapes at Ballantrae in Ayrshire. At the beginning of July 1908, he again travelled to the Ayrshire coast. However, he succumbed to heart failure and died at Kintyre View, Ballantrae, on 17 July 1908 aged 76 and was buried in Sighthill cemetery in Glasgow. A commemorative exhibition of his works was held at the RGI in November of that year. A full obituary was published in the Glasgow Herald. As well as his devotion to art, Joseph Henderson was a keen angler and golfer. A contemporary account states that he was ‘frank and genial, with an inexhaustible fund of good spirits and a ready appreciation of humour, of which he himself possesses no small share’. Thirty-six of his paintings are held in UK public collections.

DALWHINNIE 1980 DISTILLERS EDITION HIGHLAND SINGLE MALT Distilled: 1980Double matured in Oloroso casks.43% ABV / 70cl Dalwhinnie is the highest distillery in Scotland and, as such, it also boasts the lowest average temperature range. The obvious benefit of this is a lower “angel’s share” lost from casks in their warehouse, but it also keeps their external worm tubs cool, causing the spirit vapour from the stills to condense very quickly. Combine this with a distillation process which strives to minimise copper contact, and Dalwhinnie distillery produces a heavy, sulphury new make spirit that needs to mellow in refill wood for 15 years before its signature sweet, honied style fully emerges.

Three hand-painted Masonic Freemasonry tracing boards, early 20th century, each with stylised imagery, painted on board,84 x 46cm each (3)Tracing boards are meant to represent the allegorical journey of a Freemason, beginning in the material realm with the tools of the trade, transcending up the ladder toward the temple, indicative of the second stage following on as a natural development of the first. The second degree set within the temple is meant to emphasise the fellowship found within, and the eventual continuation of the journey deeper into the temple, and the mysteries found within. The third tracing board, with skull and coffin, is rarely seen, partly because the ritual it entails is rarely performed today, but also that those who have undergone it, rarely share any knowledge about it, or even confirm its existence.

Registration - M421 MRPChassis No. - SCBZB15C4TCH53016M.O.T. - April 2025Odometer - 60,176Resplendent in deep red, this Bentley Continental R comes with an interesting history, and is presented with a year’s MOT, in ‘excellent’ condition throughout. Powered by Bentley’s famed 6.75-litre V8 petrol engine – turbocharged here – and four-speed automatic transmission, ‘M421 MRP’ is a superb example of Bentley’s Grand Tourer. The two-door, 2+2 coupe is offered in Wildberry Red – similar in colour to Bentley’s royal models – over cream leather interior with burgundy piping and wood veneer dash. Coach-built by Mulliner Park Ward, this Continental R comes with original features such as factory-fitted phone and electric seats.Documentation shows that ‘M421 MRP’ was initially an Bentley demonstrator, and has since been owned by Weetabix owner Sir Richard George; it also has a class win rosette from the Bentley Drivers Club. The current owner is just the eighth in a history that is approaching 30 years old, having owned ‘M421 MRP’ for more than a year. The indicated distance covered on the odometer shows 60,176 miles, and the seller rates all areas of the Continental R as ‘excellent’, from engine and transmission, to electrics, interior, paint, and bodywork. Bentley’s Continental R was launched in 1991, and was the first model from the Crewe-based marque to not share a body with Rolls-Royce since the 1965 S3 Continental. When new, the Continental R was the fastest and most expensive Bentley of the time, and also the most expensive production car in the world. Offered only as a 2+2 coupe – a convertible version was called the Azure – the Continental R used Bentley’s turbocharged 6.75-litre V8, and versions featured self-levelling hydraulic suspension, and a sport button to sharpen up gear changes. Many wealthy buyers requested special alterations to suit tastes, with fewer than 2,000 models built before it ceased production in 2003. In summary:· Rare opportunity to own a Bentley Continental R coupe.· Extensive and interesting documented history.· Powered by Bentley’s legendary 6.75-litre V8.

Registration No: GMH 509B Chassis No: 7308210 MOT: Exempt • Part of the collection since 1998 • 30,836 recorded miles (unwarranted) • Pleasingly retains its original upholstery • In need of recommissioning / renovation The British saloon car market was keenly fought during the 1950s and 1960s making regular updates a must if manufacturers wanted to maintain, let alone increase, market share. Arriving in August 1963, the Series V version of Singer’s respected Gazelle was revised both mechanically and cosmetically. Losing the wraparound rear windscreen of its predecessors, the newcomer also gained longer aft doors. The adoption of front brake discs improved stopping power, while 1964 brought a new four-speed manual gearbox. Overdrive and automatic transmission remained options with the 4/5-seater’s 1592cc OHV four-cylinder engine developing some 53bhp / 87lbft and enabling an 82mph top speed. Finished in Smoke Green over Sage Green with Green upholstery, chassis 7308210 was first registered in Middlesex on 11th May 1964 (or so its ‘GMH 509B’ number plate would imply). Purchased by M. Ferley and S. Dowding of Chatteris some twenty-two years later, the Singer joined the late Mr Lucas’s collection during 1998. Pleasingly retaining its original interior, the Gazelle shows an unwarranted 30,836 miles to the odometer. Off the road for decades, ‘GMH 509B’ is now in need of recommissioning / restoration. The air filter is detached and a spare rear number plate plinth is included in the sale.

Registration No: S434 FWY Chassis No: SAJJGAED3AH034458 MOT: None • c.78,000 recorded miles • Just 3 former keepers and current ownership since 2010 • Offered with original owners wallet, handbooks and service book • Collection of invoices, old MOT certificates and current V5C Living up to expectations can be a burden. Consider the handsome Geoff Lawson-penned XK8 that followed in the wheeltracks of such automotive icons as the XK120 and immortal E-type. Like the E-Type before it, the XK8 made its debut at the Geneva Motorshow - that of 1996 - and, from launch, was available in either Coupe or Convertible guise. Like its immediate predecessor, the XJS, the original XK8 was more of a Grand Tourer than an outright sports car. It also had the distinction of being the first Jaguar to be powered by an eight cylinder engine. This then, was a cat with strong DNA but also its own distinctive, endearing personality. At the time of the newcomer's unveiling, Jaguar Cars was owned by Ford, as was Aston Martin, and it made sound economic sense for the XK8 and similarly targeted DB7 to share the same platform; which itself was derived from that of the outgoing XJS. The biggest of many differences between new and old, was the adoption of Jaguar's second generation independent rear suspension system, previously found on the XJ40 Saloon. Prior to 2003, power came from either a normally aspirated (XK8) or supercharged (XKR) 4.0-litre version of the company's DOHC V8 AJ26 engine. From 2003 to the end of production in 2006, the 4.2-litre AJ34 unit was employed. In each case, the engine was allied to either a five or six-speed (from 1997 onwards) automatic transmission. Supplied by Perrys Jaguar in Huddersfield on 1st December 1998, today this XK8 displays c.78,000 recorded miles and with just 3 former keepers recorded and current ownership since 2010. The specification ordered in 1998 appears to include the classic leather pack, electric and heated mirrors, cold climate pack – with heated front seats, heated windscreen and headlamp washers, adaptive damping, cruise control and, of course, the attractive Antigua Blue Metallic paint. The Jaguar book pack is present and includes the Service Record booklet with 10 stamps. 7 service stamps at main dealer Grange Jaguar, Brentwood, Essex on 27.9.99 at 10,349 miles; 15.11.2000 at 18,963 miles; 29.10.01 at 22,596 miles; 8.1.02 at 26,270 miles; 18.12.03 at 33,002 miles; 24.11.04 at 38,621 miles; 8.12.05 at 42,759 miles. A further 3 stamps were with independent specialist Glen Jags on 19.5.11 at 64,105 miles - with secondary timing chains and tensioners replaced; 6.8.14 at 73,289 miles; 19.5.18 at 73,689 miles. Many of the service receipts are to be found within the history file. Within the later invoices, a receipt on file from April 2018, shows new rear bumper brackets were fitted and preparation and paint to the edges of the wheel arches with undersealing the areas and underseal applied to sill cavities. Offered with the original owners wallet, handbooks and service book, a large collection of invoices and notes, XK8 sales literature, old MOT certificate, and current V5C the Jaguar is now in need of recommissioning after a period of storage.

D.S.O. London Gazette 9 March 1888. One of three awards of the D.S.O. for this expedition, the other two going to Army officers. Lieutenant Valentine commanded the Naval Brigade attached to the military expedition against the Yonnies in 1887 under Colonel Sir Francis De Winton, being Gazetted with praise and awarded the Distinguished Service Order. Only 38 medals with clasp ‘1887-8’ awarded to the Royal Navy. Francis Alfrid Valentine was born on 25 March 1858, at Whixley Vicarage, York. He was the only son of the Reverend William Valentine, Vicar of Whixley. He entered the Royal Navy as a Naval Cadet aboard the Training Ship Britannia on 15 July 1871, when aged 13 years. On passing out of Britannia in 1873 he was awarded a 1st Class Certificate and gained 12 months' seniority and was immediately promoted to Midshipman. On 19 July 1873 he was appointed to H.M.S. Northumberland and served in this vessel until he was transferred to Narcissus on 9 June 1875. Subsequently appointed to the receiving ship Duke of Wellington on 23 May 1877. On promotion to Sub Lieutenant on 18 July 1877 he joined Excellent for a Gunnery Course and College Examinations. On passing out of College he obtained a 2nd Class Certificate in Gunnery and 3rd Class Certificates in Seamanship and Navigation. Following his appointment to Boadicea on 13 September 1878, he saw service in the Zulu war and was awarded the Zulu Medal without clasp. Whilst serving a three and a half year commission aboard Boadicea he was promoted to Acting Lieutenant, during the period 3 March to 13 May 1881 and 18 September 1881 to 3 February 1882, whilst deployed on detached service during anti slave running patrols off the East African coast whilst in Command of Boadicea’s cutter. He was praised by Captain F. W. Richards for his share in the expedition for the destruction of Batanga villages on 22 March 1880. On paying off from Boadicea he was confirmed in the rank of Lieutenant on 15 February 1882, and appointed to Thalia on 11 April 1882. He joined Duke of Wellington on 25 March 1882, followed by Osprey on 19 September 1882. In the latter vessel he was to continue his previous service in the suppression of the slave trade. During nearly four years spent in this vessel he spent a considerable time on detached service in Command of Osprey’s various small boats and was deployed far and wide. His patrol areas included the Red Sea, Zanzibar, the Maffic Channel in the Common Islands, and off the east cost of Arabia. On paying off from Osprey he returned to England for a period of well earned paid leave followed by three months on half-pay. He was next appointed to Shannon on 7 August 1886, and to Acorn as 1st Lieutenant on 22 February 1887. During a four and a half year commission aboard Acorn he was landed in charge of a small Naval Brigade from H.M. Ships Acorn, Icarus and Rifleman, which was attached to the military expedition under Colonel Sir Travvers de Winton sent to punish the Yonnies, a tribe of people living in the hinterland of Serira Leone. This service was extremely arduous owing to the density of the forest which had to be traversed and the continual fusillade which was kept up by the concealed enemy from their muzzle loaders which fired rough bits of iron and small shot. During the campaign the Yonnies showed much skill in devising ambush stockades and other obstacles so as to bring the troops to a standstill under their fire. Robari, the Yonnie stronghold, was eventually reached, shelled, set on fire by rockets, and taken. The rebellious chiefs then submitted and the expedition returned to the coast. For his services on the expedition Valentine was specially recommended by Colonel Sir F. De Winton and Rear-Admiral Sir W. J. Hunt Grubbe and in consequence their Lordships awarded him the Distinguished Service Order. He also received their Lordships' expression of satisfaction for the services he had rendered to the military expedition. When Acorn was paid off on her return to England he was appointed to Wildfire whilst he took three months' full pay leave, followed by a further three months' on shore at half-pay. His next appointment was to Audacious which he joined on 23 December 1891. He was then returned ashore on half-pay on 18 September 1892. He next joined President for Transport Duties on 10 February 1893, then again was placed on shore with half-pay on 27 June 1893. He rejoined President for Transport Duties on 24 June 1893 and then retumed to shore on half-pay until appointed to Victory on 14 July 1894. Whilst in this posting he was placed in charge of reliefs for Nyassa and for Special Service Gunboats on 25 September 1894. He was next appointed to Excellent on 1 December 1894, for Instructional Duties on the Acting Sub Lieutenant's Course. Whilst in this posting he became ill and was discharged to Haslar Hospital on 21 August 1897, and died from heart failure on the following day, at the comparatively young age of 39 years. His funeral took place on 24 August 1897, and he was buried in the 'New' Haslar Cemetery in Clayall Road, Portsmouth, the burial service being conducted by Chaplain J. Black of H.M.S. Excellent.

London Gazette 5 March 1920 ‘Honours for services in Siberia.’ The following details are taken from Admiralty recommendations for honours: ‘For valuable services rendered with the British Naval Forces on the River Kama. While on active service in Siberia with the British Naval forces operating on the Kama River, this man distinguished himself by the praiseworthy manner in which he carried out his duties throughout the expedition. This man has been on active service in Siberia since August 1918 having served with the British Naval Armoured Train on the Ufa Front.’
John Brigum David Whyte served aboard the barge named Suffolk on the Kama River. Smaller than the tug Kent, the Suffolk carried a complement of nine men, of all ranks, under Gunner C. W. Clarke, R.N. who was awarded the D.S.C. Of the honours awarded to the Kent and Suffolk, the latter ship received the greater share compared with her significantly smaller compliment. In addition to Clarke’s D.S.C. the ship was awarded the one D.S.M. and four of the eight M.S.M.’s. One D.S.O., two D.S.C.s, one D.S.M. and eight M.S.M.s were awarded to the Kent and Suffolk during the Kama River operations.
