(520 gm.)The 65th Foot or 2nd Yorkshire, North Riding Regiment, later 1st Battalion, the York & Lancaster Regiment, was active in the Persian Gulf against Arab pirates from 1819/21 and was the only regiment in the British army to win the battle honour 'Arabia'. In August 1822 the regiment left Bombay for England after nearly 22 years abroad. It is worth mentioning that The 3rd. Mahratta War medal for the capture of Poona awarded to Lt. Col. Samuel Robinson Warren of the 65th Foot was sold at Dix, Noonan & Webb in 2005. He was commissioned Ensign in 1808 and was almost immediately posted to the Persian Gulf. At the date of this box he was a Lieutenant, promoted Captain in 1823. Given that his rank on the inscription is given as Lieutenant Colonel, the presentation to the regiment must have been later in his career.

The oval hinged-lid pot measuring approx; 7cm long.Barrass was manager at the Morfa Colliery pit during the disaster of 1890, and sadly died in the blast. The Morfa Pit at Taibach, Port Talbot, Glamorgan, was well known to be a very gassy mine. In 1863, 30 had been killed there in an explosion, and in 1870, 38. In the early hours of Tuesday, 10 March 1890, when about 250 men were working below ground, there was another violent blast. Those who made their escape did so only after long and painful struggle. In one group of six (including Rees OATES, a young boy, who survived) there were only two undamaged lamps. Everyone was so weak that as men fell insensible they had to be abandoned. Even the two rescue parties suffered casualties. In all, 87 were killed.
