*The N.G.S. Trafalgar awarded to Midshipman William Rowe, R.N., who served under Captain William Hargood aboard H.M.S. Belleisle during the Battle of Trafalgar. As the second ship of the Lee Column, she engaged no fewer than seven ships of the combined French & Spanish Fleet, comprising: Naval General Service, 1793-1840, single clasp, Trafalgar (William Rowe, Midshipman.), last letter of rank lightly struck, old cabinet tone, with original ribbon, extremely fine or better. Midshipman William Rowe of Torpoint, Cornwall – just a short boat crossing from the great naval harbour of Plymouth, was born c.1785. He entered the Royal Navy as an Able Seaman in February 1805, and was promoted to Midshipman in June that year. Official records state that this was following an order made by ‘Admiral Young’ – this presumably being Admiral William Young, who at that time was Commander in Chief at Plymouth. The reason for this – perhaps through family influence, or through application, is not clear. In any case, Midshipman Rowe served aboard H.M.S. Belleisle under the command of William Hargood, which saw a great deal of action during the Battle of Trafalgar on 21 October 1805. Second into battle after the Royal Sovereign, during the course of the battle she engaged the French ships l’Aigle, Achille, Neptune, and Fougueux, as well as the Spanish ships Santa Ana, Monarca and San Juan de Nepomuceno, and suffered a great deal of damage in the process. She was completely dismasted (being the only British ship to suffer extensive damage), but ‘she remained unconquered, and suspended a Union Jack at the end of a pike and held it up to view, while an ensign was made fast to the stump of the mainmast. She was… unable to take further active part in the fighting (but) subsequently sent her last remaining boat to take possession of the Spanish Argonauta’ (The Trafalgar Roll, by Mackenzie, refers). In addition to having her masts shot away, her hull was heavily damaged, her bowsprit and figurehead were also shot away, and her crew suffered 127 men killed and wounded. William Rowe was awarded prize money of £10 / 14s / 2d for his involvement in the battle, and removed again as Midshipman to H.M.S. St George. On 14th July 1808 he addressed a letter to the Admiralty concerning ‘an affair of the most serious nature having occurred in my family which requires my immediate presence at home’ requiring ‘a discharge into H.M. Ship Salvador del Mundo, it being of the highest importance to both my present, and future welfare.’ Presumably relating to the death of a parent or loved one, it appears that he did indeed return home, but that his future as a Naval Officer was subsequently cut short. The muster rolls confirms that he was indeed discharged in 15 August 1808, with an indecipherable note that appears to cite ‘Admiral Gambier’ perhaps as for permission for discharge. Coincidentally, the next year in 1809 two men of this same name (perhaps father & son) were registered as Pilots in and around the waters of Plymouth, and the recipient may also have taken up administrative work as a Clerk at the Naval Dockyards in later life. Another man of this name opened a hotel in Plymouth. We do know that his NGS medal was sent to him at Plymouth in 1849, and that a man of this name is listed as a being employed by the ‘Navy’ in the 1851 census. Later still, a man of this name is listed as a ‘Dockyard Pensioner, but owing to this being a popular name for the region, further research is recommended. This medal is offered with two original handwritten envelopes, marked ‘grandfather’s Trafalgar medal - my mother’s Father William (Harvey) Rowe.

WW2 RAF Pilot's Immediate Distinguished Flying Medal Awarded to Sergeant James Eric Williams who's gallantry over Bremen resulted in the award of the DFM, he would later loose his life on a training flight. Comprising: Distinguished Flying Medal "1255892 SGT J.E. WILLIAMS RAF". Retaining original ribbon and pin fitting ... Accompanied by a small quantity of original ephemera including Buckingham Palace Letter ... Letter giving details of his death at RAF Kinloss in October 1942. The citation for the award of the Distinguished Flying Medal appeared in the London Gazette on the 24th July 1942. An Immediate Award"Sergeant Williams was the Captain of Wellington aircraft X.3351 which was detailed to attack Bremen on the night of the 2nd/3rd July 1942. After he had bombed his objective and whilst still in the target area, the aircraft was struck by what appeared to be flak but which subsequently has been found to be incendiary bombs from another aircraft and the port engine, hydraulics and flaps were put out of action. The remains of one incendiary bomb were found in the carburettor of the port engine on return. Height was lost from 10,000 feet to 4,000 feet before Sergeant Williams was able to regain control and the chances of reaching this country with the damage occasioned by the incendiary bomb seemed extremely remote. Despite all efforts. height was slowly but steadily lost and Sergeant Williams gave orders to his crew to prepare to abandon the aircraft. Shortly afterwards the aircraft was subjected to intense flak and avoiding action had to be taken, causing the aircraft to loose height to 1,000 feet. Sergeant Williams then informed the crew that he intended to try and get back to this country. Shortly before leaving the enemy coast, he had to open up fully his one good engine in order to maintain height and get as near to the English coast as possible in case of a forced alighting at sea, giving strict instructions that no SOS was to be sent owing to possible interception by hostile fighters. By superb skill in the handling of his aircraft and the one engine, he succeeded in making the crossing of the North Sea and regained his base, reaching the latter at only 100 feet. Here he calmly carried out the correct R/T procedure, requesting permission to land, which fact had a material bearing on the safe landing of other aircraft which were circling at the time. By use of emergency gear, he had managed to lock the undercarriage and then carried out a perfect single-engined landing without flaps on his own aerodrome. By his grim determination in the face of what appeared impossible odds, this NCO effected the safe return of his crew and aircraft to this country. This act is, however, but the culmination of an operational tour of outstanding success achieved by Sergeant Williams in all his 34 sorties. This NCO has been a shinning example to his fellow Captains in the Squadron, both by courage and intense devotion to duty."Sergeant Williams was screened from operations and on the 29th October 1942 he was Captain of a Whitley Bomber of 19 OTU based at RAF Kinloss. He had been briefed for a night training flight and all appears to have gone well, his aircraft had radioed it was preparing to land, whoever the Whitley was flying through an electrical storm and whilst on approach appears to have been struck and caught fire, both Sgt Williams and his Co-pilot Flying Officer Charteris of the RNZAF stayed at the controls to allow two other crewman to bail out.
