A mixed lot of items made from shells.

Three: Able Seaman S. W. Cheesmar, Royal Navy, who was killed in action serving with H.M.S. Good Hope at the Battle of Coronel, 1 November 1914 1914-15 Star (J.12085, S. W. Cheeseman [sic], A.B., R.N.); British War and Victory Medals (J.12085 S. W. Cheesmar. A.B. R.N.) with flattened named card box of issue for the Victory Medal, nearly extremely fine (3) £240-£280 --- Stanley William Cheesmar was born in Woking, Surrey, on 13 May 1894 and joined the Royal Navy as a Boy First Class on 9 May 1911. Advanced Able Seaman on 10 June 1913, he served with the armoured cruiser H.M.S. Good Hope during the Great War, and was killed in action serving with her at the Battle of Coronel, 1 November 1914. Early in August 1914 a force, consisting of the old armoured cruisers Good Hope and Monmouth, the light cruiser Glasgow and the armed merchant cruiser Otranto, all under the command of Rear-Admiral Sir Christopher Cradock, R.N., was sent to protect the southern trade routes and to intercept German cruisers operating on the high seas. In October 1914 the squadron was reinforced by the addition of the old battleship Canopus but reports of the ship’s lack of speed led the admiral to leave her behind as he searched for the German East Asiatic Squadron. The German squadron, commanded by Admiral Graf von Spee consisted of the armoured cruisers Scharnhorst and Gneisenau and the light cruisers Leipzig, Nurnberg and Dresden. Both admirals became aware of the proximity of the other on 31 October. At 6.40 p.m. on 1 November the squadrons made contact off Coronel, Chile and at 7.04 p.m. the battle opened at a range of 11,500 yards. As the German ships had a greater number of heavier guns, Cradock’s tactics were to close the range to allow his ships’ more numerous smaller calibre guns to come into play; this however was partly negated by the rough seas and high speeds which prevented many of the British armoured cruisers’ casement guns being brought into action. The British armoured cruisers were repeatedly hit as the range was reduced. As the range reduced to 5,500 yards, the Good Hope was on fire in several places and in a bad way. Endeavouring to reduce the range even further, so as to be able to fire torpedoes in a last ditch attempt to do damage to his adversary, the ship was repeatedly hit by heavy calibre shells and at 7.53 Good Hope blew up, taking the Admiral and all hands with her. At about 9.30 the Monmouth too was hunted down and sunk; the Glasgow and Otranto were able to make their escape under the cover of darkness. Cheesmar is commemorated on the Portsmouth Naval Memorial.

1914-15 Star (2) (309143. G. H. Manning. Sto. I. R.N.; PO.16715. Pte A. V. Davis R.M.L.I.) traces of verdigris to latter, otherwise very fine (2) £70-£90 --- Gerald Henry Manning, a native of Liverpool, was born on 24 July 1887 and joined H.M.S. Queen Mary on 7 December 1915. He was present at the Battle of Jutland, 31 May 1916, when, under the command of Captain C. I. Prowse, Queen Mary engaged the German ships SMS Seydlitz and SMS Derfflinger during the opening phase of the Battle. One of Derfflinger’s shells scored a direct hit on Queen Mary’s ‘Q’ turret detonating the magazines and breaking the ship in two. She was sunk with the loss of 1,266 crew and only 18 survivors. Manning was amongst those killed, and he is commemorated on the Portsmouth Naval Memorial. Albert Victor Davis was born on 11 November 1892 and was serving with the Royal Marine Light Infantry aboard H.M.S. Invincible. He was killed in action at the Battle of Jutland, 31 May 1916, when the armour of one of Invincible’s gun turrets was penetrated, causing her to be blown in half by a magazine explosion amidships and sink within 90 seconds with the loss of all but six of her crew of 1,032 officers and ratings. He is commemorated on the Portsmouth Naval Memorial.
