WW2 Submariners Distinguished Service Medal (D.S.M) Group of Six Awarded to Stoker A S Webb, Who Served on the Torbay Under Commander Anthony Miers V.C., D.S.O. Awarded For Gallantry In Working the Periscope During Six Successful Torpedo Attacks, group comprises George VI D.S.M “KX77734 A S WEBB STO.1 HMS TORBAY”, 1939-45 star, Atlantic star, Africa star, Italy star and WW2 War medal, all un-named as issued. DSM London Gazette 7th October 1941 ‘For courage, enterprise and devotion to duty in successful submarine patrols’ with the original recommendation from Miers stating ‘For his good service during 4 war patrols as a Stoker 1st Class in H.M.S Torbay; for the efficiency with which he worked the periscope during 6 successful torpedo attacks; for the enthusiasm he has at all times shown in the performance of his duties and in particular for his skill and resource on the night of 7th June when boarding the tanker Alberta’. Aubrey Spencer Webb was born in Sudbrook Chepstow, Devon on 6th November 1907 and joined the Royal Navy on 3rd February 1927 as a Stoker 2nd class eventually transferring to the Submarine service in May 1930. Joining the Royal Fleet Reserve on 3 Feb 1939 (Po B 20127) he was back to HMS Dolphin at the end of July 1939 eventually joining H.M.S. Torbay in January 1941. HMS Torbay was commissioned in 1940 and joined the 1st Submarine Flotilla in Alexandria in April 1941 and it was her war patrols between May and July that resulted in the award of the DSM to Webb. Peter Padfield, in his book, War Beneath the Sea describes the attack on the tanker Alberta: “On 6 June, after observing much neutral traffic which they were not allowed to touch, since the ‘sink at sight’ zone did not extend to the Aegean, they identified a Vichy French tanker making for the Dardanelles and the Black Sea; Miers ran in to attack. At the last moment the tanker made a radical turn which left him trailing. Ho moved right astern and swung round to fire a single torpedo directly up her wake; it hit, wrecking her propeller and rudder but she still remained afloat and, lacking any power of motion, dropped anchor. Miers hit her with a second torpedo. Still she wouldn’t sink. He waited until after dark, then brought the submarine alongside, bridge Lewis guns at the ready and sent a boarding party (which included Webb) up over the side. She was deserted, but the engine room was flooded and they were unable to open the valves to scuttle her. Instead they parted the anchor cable with a demolition charge so casting her adrift. Two days later she was sighted again, this time under tow. Miers fired a third torpedo but it merely frightened the tug away. Finally, they found her again and put forty shells into her waterline. Even this failed to sink her, but she drifted away and was never salvaged”. Her next patrol was equally successful with her final tally being 1 Italian submarine, the Jacinta, a freighter, another tanker and seven local motor sailing troop and supply transports. It is extremely likely that Webb was present in the patrol where Torbay landed Lieutenant-Colonel Keyes and his raiding party when they landed on the North African coast to attack Rommel’s Head Quarters resulting in the award of the V.C. to Keyes. It seems likely that Webb was serving on board in March 1942 when Miers was awarded his V.C. in the Corfu Roads (his record does still show him serving on Torbay through this period and up to December 1942). Webb was present at the investiture at Buckingham Palace on 28 July 1942 when members of Torbay were decorated for their actions in the Mediterranean; Miers received his V.C., three of his officers received either a D.S.O. or D.S.C. and 24 ratings were rewarded with D.S.M.s (or a bar to a D.S.M). Re-enrolled back in the RFR in February 1944 his service record notes that he enlisted into the Royal Engineers (TA) on 11th April 1949 with the service number 22269844. Also entitled to a Royal Fleet Reserve Long Service and Good Conduct Medal – 26/12/41. Ex Ron Penhall Collection.

A FINE GEORGE II IRISH RED WALNUT AND MARQUETRY SECRETAIRE CABINET, C.1730/40, the top section with scrolled broken pediment inlaid with filigree marquetry and Comedia dell'Arte figures centred by a grotesque mask, above twin shaped panelled doors over single long drawer, flanked by brackets with conforming marquetry decoration, the bottom section having a pull-out desk, the top rising to a slope supported by a rachet, with candle holders to each side, the frieze with central brass drop handle and lockplate above a shaped apron with central carved shell, each corner of the frieze carved with scallop shell incorporated into demi-fluted broken cabriole legs, terminating in scrolled Spanish feet.  195cm high, 102cm wide, 74cm deepA similar example of this cabinet is detailed in 'Irish Furniture', by The Knight of Glin and James Peill, p.52, figs 48 & 49Whilst the existence of a workshop in the early 18th Century producing walnut furniture with distinctive marquetry inlay was first noticed by R.W. Symounts who posited that it was Irish, it was the Knight of Glin who proved and elaborated the fact.In a pioneering article, 'The Marquetry Decoration of Early 18th Century Irish Furniture (Irish Art Review, Vol 13, 1997) he reviews extant examples which evolved into the sophisticated "Florence Court" cabinet. He was ecstatic when this was discovered and very satisfied that it went to Florence Court, that quintessential Irish house. His reaction can only be imagined to the amazing emergence of the present lot which, from the marquetry frieze, the pedestal base, with its carved shells, broken cabriole legs and 'Spanish' feet exactly mirrors the Florence Court cabinet.A further most interesting point in the present lot is that the rosettes on the swan-neck pediment match those on the Cornbury Park cabinet (illus. no 3 in above article) further tying together this whole group of uniquely Irish Furniture.
