Jacob Marrel (Frankenthal 1614-1681 Francfort-sur-le-Main)Nature morte avec un panier de fruits, des coquillages et un lézardJacob Marrel (Frankenthal 1614-1681 Frankfurt-am-Main)Still life with a basket of fruit, sea shells and a lizard signed with monogram 'JM* f' (lower right, possibly strengthened)oil on panel74 x 49cm (29 1/8 x 19 5/16in).Footnotes:Provenance:With Julius Böhler, Munich, 1981, where purchased by the present ownerJacob Marel was apprenticed to the Frankfurt still life artist Georg Flegel until he moved to Utrecht in the early 1630s and trained under Jan Davidsz. de Heem. Here he also came under the influence of the Bosschaert family and Roelandt Savery, all of whom were active in Utrecht at that time. The basket, shells and fruit in the present work are clearly inspired by Balthazar van der Ast's still life, from circa 1635, now in Vancouver Art Gallery, Canada (inv.no. 83.27), which may have been painted before the artist left for Delft. Marrel moved to Frankfurt in 1650 and tutored Abraham Mignon, for whom he later arranged training in Utrecht with de Heem. He continued to travel between Utrecht and Frankfurt throughout his life, forming an important link between two early centres of interest in flower painting.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Queen’s South Africa 1899-1902, 5 clasps, Cape Colony, Orange Free State, Transvaal, South Africa 1901, South Africa 1902 (4485 Pte. L. J. W. Doggett, 2/D. Gds:) a somewhat later issue (see footnote), with first initial officially corrected, light contact marks, very fine £140-£180 --- M.M. London Gazette 21 September 1916. Leopold John William Doggett was born in Malta on 11 October 1880 and served with the 2nd Dragoon Guards (Queens Bays) in South Africa during the Boer War. However, a note on the medal roll shows that his Queen’s South Africa Medal was forfeited after a conviction by a District Court Martial for stealing on 1 September 1903. On discharging from the Army, Doggett worked as a gunsmith in Horncastle. He has several newspaper articles about his wild behaviour pre-Great War involving alcohol and assaulting the Police, and one newspaper article dated 1909 mentions his previous 16 convictions and being sentenced to 1-month hard labour. Despite this, he was a Special Reservist from at least 1909 (as per newspaper article and the new service number 3/8216), and his Queen’s South Africa Medal was restored to him on 1 June 1911. On the outbreak of the Great War, Doggett attempted to re-join the 2nd Dragoon Guards but was posted to the 3rd Battalion Lincolnshire Regiment as a Sergeant. Tried by District Court Martial on 15 April 1915 at Grimsby for being Absent without leave he was reduced to the ranks and was posted to the 2nd Battalion Lincolnshire Regiment, serving with them during the Great War on the Western Front from 25 May 1915 as a Private. He was invalided home a couple of months later but returned to France on 16 June 1916 with the 184th Company, Machine Gun Corps. The following month he was awarded the Military Medal for his gallantry during the attack at Fromelles on 19 July 1916 (London Gazette 21 September 1916). According to a contemporary account published in the Boston Guardian, 2 September 1916, Doggett was awarded the M.M. for ‘bringing into safety one Captain, one Lieutenant, one Sergeant, one Lance-Corporal, and five Privates. Hearing his comrades calling for help, Doggett stripped himself of his equipment and jacket and went to give help although he had to pass through an area swept by machine guns and shells. Wading waist deep through two ditches of foul black muddy water, he came across five Privates badly wounded and by tremendous exertion managed to place each man in a place of safety. He returned again and again bringing in Sergeant Young of the Berkshire Regiment who was dangerously wounded and also a Lance-Corporal. His last venture was to assist two officers who were exhausted and suffering from shell shock. He got back to his lines without injury’. Promoted back to Sergeant, it would appear that Doggett remained in the Machine Gun Corps until demobilisation on 17 February 1919. He was granted a disability pension for a ‘dislocated cartridge in his knee’, and died in Southwark, London, on 8 March 1953. His brother, Corporal Albert Edward Doggett, Royal Army Service Corps, was also awarded the Military Medal. Sold with copied medal roll extract and copied research.

1914-15 Star (J.5420 V. J. McKey. A.B., R.N.); Victory Medal 1914-19 (K.6687 J. Reilly. Act. L. Sto. R.N.) very fine and better (2) £60-£80 --- H.M.S. Amphion At the start of the Great War, H.M.S. Amphion was leader of the 3rd Destroyer Flotilla in the 1st Light Cruiser Squadron, assigned to the Harwich Force, defending the eastern approaches to the English Channel, under the command of Captain Cecil H. Fox. In the morning of 5 August, Amphion and the 3rd Flotilla sortied into the North Sea to patrol the area between Harwich and the Dutch island of Terschelling for German activity. At 10:15 a ship in the black, buff, and yellow colours of the Great Eastern Railway’s steamers that plied between Harwich and the Hook of Holland was spotted. Fox sent the destroyers H.M.S. Lance and H.M.S. Landrail to investigate and shortly afterwards another destroyer reported that a trawler had seen a suspicious ship, ‘throwing things overboard, presumably mines’ H.M.S. Amphion led the flotilla to investigate and observed that the fleeing ship was deploying mines even then. At 10:45, Lance opened fire at a range of 4,400 yards. The target was S.M.S. Königin Luise, a former Hamburg-Heligoland excursion boat that had been converted to an auxiliary minelayer by the Germans. They had planned to mount a pair of 8.8-centimetre (3.5 in) guns on board, but they did not have the time to do so; her only armament was a pair of lighter guns and 180 mines. On the night of 4 August, she had departed Emden and headed into the North Sea to lay mines off the Thames Estuary, which she began to do at dawn. The fire from the destroyers was ineffective until Amphion closed to a range of 7,000 yards and began hitting the German ship at about 11:15. By noon, Königin Luise was sinking and the three British ships rescued 5 officers and 70 ratings. The flotilla proceeded onwards with their patrol until they reached the Dutch coast around 21:00 and turned for home. Fox was uncertain as to the locations of the mines laid by Königin Luise and laid a course that was seven nautical miles west of where he thought the mines were. He guessed wrongly and led his flotilla over the danger area. At 06:35, Amphion struck a mine that detonated underneath her bridge. The explosion set her forecastle on fire and broke the ship’s keel. The destroyer H.M.S. Linnet attempted to tow the cruiser, but a deep crack across her upper deck showed that she was hogging badly and Fox ordered his crew to abandon ship. Shortly afterwards, her forward magazine exploded, throwing one 4-inch gun into the air that narrowly missed Linnet. One of Amphion’s shells burst on the deck of the destroyer Lark, killing two of her men and the only German prisoner rescued from the cruiser. Amphion then rapidly sank within 15 minutes of the explosion losing 1 officer and 131 ratings killed in the sinking, plus an unknown number of the crew rescued from Königin Luise. She was the first ship of the Royal Navy to be sunk in the Great War. Victor James McKey was born in Solihull, Warwickshire, on 12 December 1892 and entered the Royal Navy as a Boy, Second Class on 28 September 1909. Advanced Able Seaman on 20 April 1912, he joined H.M.S. Amphion on 15 September 1913 and was killed when she struck a mine and sunk on 6 August 1914. He is commemorated on the Plymouth Naval Memorial. John Reilly was born in Larkhall, Lanarkshire, on 20 January 1892 and entered the Royal Navy on 7 May 1910. He joined H.M.S. Amphion on 2 April 1913 and was killed when she struck a mine and sunk on 6 August 1914. He is commemorated on the Plymouth Naval Memorial.

Memorial Plaque (Herbert George Pankhurst) some polish residue, very fine £80-£100 --- Herbert George Pankhurst served as a Shipwright Second Class during the Great War in H.M.S. Queen Mary, and was killed in action at the Battle of Jutland on 31 May 1916. During the Battle, Queen Mary engaged the German ships SMS Seydlitz and SMS Derfflinger, and 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; there were only 18 survivors. Pankhurst was amongst those killed, and he is commemorated on the Portsmouth Naval Memorial.

Egypt and Sudan 1882-89, dated reverse, 2 clasps, Alexandria 11th July, Tel-El-Kebir (W. H. Rumph. A.B. H.M.S. “Penelope”) pitting from star, otherwise very fine and rare £400-£500 --- William Henry Rumph was born at Bethnal Green, Middlesex, on 14 September 1862, and joined the Royal Navy as a Boy 2nd Class aboard H.M.S. Fisgard in September 1877. He served as an Able Seaman aboard H.M.S. Penelope from 22 June 1882 to 8 January 1884. During his service in the latter vessel he took part in the bombardment of Alexandria and was landed for service on shore with the ship’s Naval Brigade where he fought at the battle of Tel-El-Kebir as a crew member of the Naval Armoured Train (See roll below). Rumph purchased his discharge from the Navy as a Petty Officer 2nd Class from H.M.S. Myrmidon on 11 April 1888. In addition to the Naval “Armoured Train” manned by seamen and marines from Hecla and Invincible, there were two other offensively armed devices operating in this Egyptian war zone. Often referred to as “Armed Trains”, they were in reality no more than specially armed trucks, one manned by seamen and the other by marines, which saw service at Kassassin and Tel-El-Kebir. The ‘tar’s’ four-wheeled gun-truck had steel plated sides that were “fairly bullet-proof”, with sandbags hung around the car outside. An awning was fitted to this open topped truck on which was fitted a 40-pounder gun. A separate box-car similarly fitted with steel side plates and sandbags had two compartments for the 230 shells (mostly shrapnel) and charges, entrance to each magazine being only from the top. Since no steam trains could be obtained, this armed contrivance, manned by seamen from Penelope, was pulled from Ismalia to Nefiche by 16 horses, four abreast, on 26 August 1882. Immediately ahead of this “Armoured Train” was another truck on which a captured 8cm Krupp gun had been mounted and worked by Royal Marine Artillery men under Captain Tucker R.M.A. On 1 September it was taken to Kassassin and participated in an action on the 9th September in defence of Kassassin Camp against an Egyptian reconnaissance party. The officer in charge of this “Armoured Train”, Lieutenant C. K. Purvis, R.N., and his 2nd in command, Sub Lieut James Erskine, with a party of twenty blue-jackets had been working the train on the line a little beyond the camp, when the enemy turned their guns on it. Purvis and Erskine had dismounted from the train to take some observations and were standing close together when a shell burst near them, striking Purvis in the foot and tearing a portion of it off, necessitating immediate amputation at the ankle joint. Command of this “Armoured Train” passed to Lieutenant F. E. W. Lambart, R.N., but it was never engaged after 9 September, and on 23 September the crew from Penelope were re-embarked. All the following men from H.M.S. Penelope earned the clasp for ‘Tel-El-Kebir’ and formed the crew of the horse-drawn “Armoured Train”: AHEARN, R., Ord BEARD, W. H., A.B. BETTS, Frederick, A.B.

Family Group: Three: Officer’s Steward 3rd Class T. N. Frost, Royal Navy, who was killed on 6 August 1914, when H.M.S. Amphion struck a mine off the Thames estuary and sank with the loss of 132 men killed; she was the first ship of the Royal Navy to be sunk in the Great War 1914-15 Star (L.4236. T. N. Frost.

O.S.3 R.N.); Memorial Plaque (Thomas Norman Frost) good very fine Imperial Service Medal, G.V.R., Circular issue, 1st ‘coinage head’ issue (Thomas Frost) in fitted case of issue, extremely fine (5) £300-£400 --- Thomas Norman Frost was born at St Budeaux, Plymouth, Devon, on 10 January 1897. His Father, Thomas Frost, was employed as a Skilled Labourer at the Royal Naval Ordnance Depot, Bull Point, Plymouth, and received the Imperial Service Medal upon his retirement. Frost junior attested for the Royal Navy on 25 February 1913 and joined H.M.S. Amphion on 2 April 1913, when the ship first commissioned.
