A Great War Jutland Group of 6 awarded to Vice-Admiral John Douglas Edwards, C.B., Royal Navy, who commanded the Cruiser H.M.S. Falmouth at Heligoland Bight, Dogger Bank, and during the Battle of Jutland, and was for a time Brigadier-General with the R.A.F. whilst serving with the Air Ministry, comprising: 1914-15 Star (Capt. J. D. Edwards, R.N.); British War and Victory Medals (Capt. J. D. Edwards, R.N.); France, Legion d’Honneur, Officer’s breast badge with rosette, in silver-gilt and enamels; Czechoslovakia, Croix de Guerre, breast badge, in bronze; and Italy, Messina Earthquake Medal, 1908, in silver, eng. in upright capitals (Commdr. J. D. Edwards. H.M.S. Sutlej), group court-mounted, toned, a few light hairlines and small chip to enamel of Légion d’Honneur, otherwise good very fine (6) NOTE: C.B.: London Gazette, 15 September 1916: ‘commanded and fought in the Falmouth with great skill and gallantry’. France, Legion d’Honneur: London Gazette, 15 September 1916; Russia, Order of St Anne: London Gazette, 5 October 1917; Czechoslovakia, Croix de Guerre: London Gazette, 26 August 1921. John Douglas Edwards was born on the 29th of September, 1871, as Port Louis, Mauritius. He entered the Royal Navy as a Midshipman in 1887, and progressed steadily through the Officer ranks. During WWI, as Captain he commanded H.M.S. Falmouth of the 3rd Light Cruiser Squadron, with a complement of 376. She took part in the Battle of Jutland as part of the 3rd Light Cruiser Squadron, where she was hit by a German shell, but survived the battle. For his rôle as Captain, Edwards was awarded the C.B. In a smaller and lesser-known action on the 19th of August, 1916, Falmouth engaged two Zeppelins which were shadowing the British ships, when she ran across the line of fire of the German submarine U-66 which discharged two torpedoes at less than 1,000 yards range, both striking Falmouth on the starboard side. The ship did not sink for many hours and throughout the following night proceeded under her own steam until the early morning, when she was taken in tow. Quite unsuspected by the British, the Germans had established a line of submarines running out from Flamborough Head to intercept shipping approaching the Humber. As Falmouth approached, U-63 got home two torpedoes which, surprisingly enough, did not sink the vessel, though she had now been hit four times. She remained afloat for another eight hours and eventually sank five miles south of Flamborough Head. All the crew were taken off by the escorting destroyers and there was no loss of life, but one stoker died from his injuries later. Offered with copied service papers, which also confirm the award of his Messina Earthquake medal for service aboard H.M.S. Sutlej, and that Edwards died on 30th March, 1952.

A RIVER PLATE HMS EXETER LSGC GROUP OF SEVEN MEDALS. Awarded to Engine Room Artificer 1V Francis Curnow MX 59983 , later C E R A. 1939/45- Atlantic- Africa- Burma with bar Pacific- Italy Stars. War Medal, all unnamed as issued. QE11 Long Service Good Conduct Medal named to MX 59983 C.E.R.A. F J Curnow HMS Ranpura. Immortalized in the film of the three Cruisers HMS Ajax, Achilles and Exeter, the action against The Graf Spee is well recorded. Francis Curnow was born in August 1919, in Gwennap Cornwall. He enlisted in the Royal Navy a for initially a period of 12 years in May 1939. After training at HMS Drake in August 1939 he was posted to HMS Exeter as a CERA 5. Serving on her from then until 12th April 1940. It was in December 1939 that Force G located and engaged the Graf Spee, thinking it to be The Von Scheer another Pocket Battleship. The Graf Spee opened fire on the three ships, at 19,000 yards. Her 11" Guns out ranged those of the Cruisers and the opening salvos were very accurate. Of the three ships HMS Exeter received the most hits and straddles, though they continued to fight back. Her return fire caused the actual damage that sealed the fate of the Graf Spee. A shell penetrated two decks and severely damaged her fuel supply, necessitating repairs in a friendly port. Instead Graf Spee turned to sink Exeter, but was again engaged by Ajax and Achilles. She turned away and came upon a British Merchantman, who's crew refused to leave the ship. Radioing by her call sign, Force G realised she was actually Graf Spee. She limped into Montevideo and thus into history. A badly damaged HMS Exeter sailed for the nearest port for massive repairs. After many postings shown on his Certificate of Service, CERA Curnow served on HMS Ranpura from 10/5/1953 until the 16/7/1955. HMS Ranpura an Armed Merchant Cruiser, sister ship of the famous HMS Rawlpindi. Later when the war ended converted to a repair ship, serving as a Fleet Depot Ship until 1961. With the medals are various original documents of Francis Curnow's service and copies of messages home to his mother in Redruth Cornwall. See Illustration
