General Buller stated in his despatch: ‘The Ordnance Department has been short handed throughout and an unusual amount of hard work has fallen upon individuals and I submit the following in order of merit as especially deserving.’ George Francis Woodhall was born in Birmingham in 1866, and enlisted into the Corps of Armourers in April 1889, aged 23 years, a Gunsmith by trade. He served for a total of 21 years, including 1 year 2 months in South Africa, and 8 years 11 months in Egypt.

The superb Naval General Service, Davison’s Nile Medal, and Sultan’s Medal for Egypt group of three awarded to Rear-Admiral of the White Sir John Hill, Royal Navy, who served as First Lieutenant in H.M.S. Minotaur at the Battle of the Nile, coming to the rescue of Nelson’s flagship H.M.S. Vanguard, for which his Captain was given the utmost praise by Admiral Nelson and Hill himself was slightly wounded; he later had the responsibility of commanding all the transport vessels conveying the British army to Belgium prior to the Battle of Waterloo, being Mentioned by and earning the Duke of Wellington's distinct thanks for the efficient manner in which he conducted the operation, thus securing the praise of both the foremost sailor and soldier of his day Naval General Service 1793-1840, 2 clasps, Nile, Egypt (John Hill, Lieut.); Alexander Davison’s Medal for The Nile 1798, silver, Sultan’s Medal for Egypt 1801, 2nd Class, gold, 48mm, on its original gold chain and hook, traces of lacquer and pin marks to the edges of the medals from when they have been held in an old display case, otherwise good very fine and better (3) £10,000-£14,000 --- Approximately 45 2nd Class Sultan's Gold medals awarded to officers of the Royal Navy. John Hill was born at Portsea, Hampshire, in 1774 and entered the Royal Navy as a Captain's Steward aboard the bomb vessel H.M.S. Infernal on 25 September 1781 at the age of 7; this appointment at such a young age was undoubtedly due to the fact that the Infernal was commanded by his uncle, Commander James Alms (and such patronage at such an early age was not unusual at the time). He served in H.M.S. Infernal until March 1783, and subsequently served in various other ships before being posted to the frigate H.M.S. Proserpine, 24 guns, again under the command of his uncle James Alms. Advanced Lieutenant on 28 July 1794, he transferred in 1798 as First Lieutenant to H.M.S. Minotaur, 74 guns, under the command of Captain Thomas Louis The Battle of the Nile
Fought over 1 - 3 August 1798, the Battle of the Nile was the climax of a three-month campaign across the length and breadth of the Mediterranean. With the enemy fleet discovered moored in Aboukir Bay shortly after 2 p.m. on 1 August, Nelson’s fleet entered the bay just after 6pm and engaged Vice-admiral Brueys' fleet directly. Minotaur was sixth in the British line of battle, immediately astern of Nelson’s flagship H.M.S. Vanguard; those four ships immediately ahead sailed around the front of the French line, consequently engaging their enemy from an unprepared (and unexpected) direction. Bruyes’ fleet was enveloped in deadly fire from all sides but fought back bravely. With the Vanguard coming under accurate cannon and musket fire from the Spartiate, the Minotaur came to their flagship’s aid and Hill himself later recalled his experiences in a fascinating eye-witness account of Admiral Nelson conveying his thanks to the Minotaur’s captain, Thomas Louis: ‘On the 1st of August when the Vanguard anchor'd alongside the Spartiate, she became exposed to the raking fire of the Aquilon, the next ship in the enemy’s line, by which the Vanguard had between fifty and sixty men disabled in the space of ten minutes. Captain Louis took his station ahead of the Vanguard; the Minotaur not only effectually relieved her from this distressing situation but overpowered her opponent. Lord Nelson felt so grateful to Captain Louis for his conduct, on this important occasion, that about nine o’clock, while yet the combat was raging with the utmost fury, and he himself was suffering severely in the Cockpit from the dreadful wound in his head; he sent for his Lieutenant, Mr Capel, and ordered him to go on board the Minotaur, in the jolly boat, and desired Captain Louis would come to him; for that he could not have a moment's peace, until he had thanked him for his conduct. The subsequent meeting which took place between the Admiral and Captain Louis was affecting in the extreme, the latter being over his bleeding friend in silent sermon, “Farewell my dear Louis” said the Admiral, “I shall never forget the obligation I am under to you for your brave and generous conduct, and now whatever may become of me my mind is at peace”.’ An indication of the fierceness of the duel between the Minotaur and Aquilon, 74 guns, can be seen from the casualty figures: whilst Minotaur lost 87 men killed and wounded but was overall only lightly damaged, the Aquilon lost her captain and over 300 men killed and wounded, and was completely dismasted. Hill himself, in his Memorandum of Services dated 30 June 1846, states that he too was ‘slightly wounded, but did not return myself as such never having left my quarters’. Promoted Commander as a reward for his services at the Battle of the Nile, Hill was additionally tasked with taking command of the captured Aquilon and sailing her to Malta for repairs. After spending the next two years on half-pay, he was appointed to the command of the troopship Heroine on 12 February 1800. As commander of Heroine, he spent two years in the Mediterranean conveying troops, and in this capacity he participated in the Egyptian Expedition and the landing of soldiers prior to the Battle of Abukir on 8 March 1801. The Log Book of the Heroine notes he also physically served ashore between 24 and 30 April 1801, and it was for these services that he was awarded the Sultan's Gold Medal, Second Class. For the remainder of his career, Hill had the command of various transport ships, punctuated with periods on the half-pay list, notably spending just over two years in charge of transport ships in the Baltic, as his Memorandum of Services notes: ‘Two years and a half in the Transport Service during which time embarked and disembarked the Swedish Army from Sweden to Swedish Pomerania - received on board my ship the Crown Prince Count Bernadotte (late King of Sweden) and was honoured with his thanks for the care I had taken of his army. Sent twice to St. Petersburg to embark 5,000 Spanish Troops for which was thanked by the Spanish Ambassador.’ Recalled for duty closer to home, Hill then became responsible for transporting Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Graham's force to Holland for the abortive attack on Bergen-op-Zoom, and also for embarking the wounded after the attack and withdrawal, for which services he was specifically mentioned by General Graham in General Orders of 16 August 1814: ‘ The Commander of the Forces is no less indebted to Captain Hill, of the Royal Navy, for that cordial co-operation which he has on all occasions experienced from him.’ The Waterloo Campaign The following year, as principal Transport Agent at Ostend, Hill was responsible for the safe delivery of all British troops arriving in Flanders for the upcoming Waterloo Campaign. Hill's own recollections note the following: ‘Disembarked the whole of the British Army and materiel prior to the Battle of Waterloo without a single accident to a soldier and the loss of only two horses. After that memorable Battle embarked all the wounded British soldiers and a large number of French wounded and prisoners.' Hill was also mentioned by name in Captain Cavalie Mercer's ‘Journal of the Waterloo Campaign’, which illustrates the tact required in his job:
‘Our keel had scarcely touched the sand 'ere we were abruptly boarded by a naval officer (Captain Hill) with a gang of sailors, who, sans ceremonie, instantly commenced hoisting our horses out, and throwing them, as well as our saddlery, etc., overboard, without ever giving time for making any disposition to receive or secure the one or the other. To my remonstrance his answer was, “I can...

* BILL WRIGHT RSW RGI DA (SCOTTISH 1931 - 2016), SHORE FARM watercolour on paper, signed, titled label versomounted, framed and under glassimage size 40cm x 59cm, overall size 61cm x 81cmNote: Bill Wright's talent first became evident when he was a boy, drawing endlessly for amusement while bedbound with illness. He went on to study painting at Glasgow School of Art and became an award-winning watercolourist, constantly inspired by was seascape and ever-changing sky on the Kintyre peninsula where he had a second home. Glasgow-born Wright, the son of a shipyard plater, was brought up in Partick and started his schooling at the city’s Dowanhill Primary before being evacuated to Dunoon during the Second World War. After returning home he attended Hyndland Senior Secondary and despite being discouraged by his parents, who would have preferred him to have a “proper job”, in 1949 he began his studies at Glasgow School of Art. They were interrupted by national service – a duty he felt hindered the progression of his art career. He served at Catterick army garrison but was a pacifist who abhorred war and dismissed the opportunity to be promoted to Sergeant as an army career held no interest. His first teaching post was at East Park School in Glasgow’s Maryhill. He then moved in 1965 to St Patrick’s High School in Dumbarton where he spent two years before becoming art adviser for the area at the age of 36. Over the next two decades he fostered the idea of instilling a cultural interest in art among pupils. He formed working groups to reform teaching of first and second-year students, encouraged forward-looking principal teachers and recruited many young teachers. His ethos was that teachers were not just there to create artists but to give all children a good art experience. He also established a residential art course for school children, at the Pirniehall residential educational facility at Croftamie in Dunbartonshire, where youngsters from different backgrounds could investigate the idea of furthering an art career through experiencing a range of different mediums in an art camp environment. And he is said to have been instrumental in encouraging the implementation of Scotland’s Standard Grade art and design qualification. However, he suffered from the chronic arthritic condition ankylosing spondylitis which, by the age of 55, forced him to take early retirement from his post in the education department of Strathclyde Regional Council. Meanwhile, as he had strived to enthuse youngsters with his own passion for art, he had been elected, in 1977, to the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour. A member of the Glasgow Arts Club for many years, he was also an elected member of the Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts and Paisley Art Institute, served as president of the Scottish Artists’ Benevolent Association for 14 years and was a Scottish Arts Council lecturer, touring the country discussing art. But perhaps his own greatest inspiration was the view from a cottage he stumbled upon half a century ago, seven miles from Campbeltown on the Mull of Kintyre. He rented the property at Bellochantuy and set up a studio there where he drew on the vistas stretching 180 degrees, encompassing sea, beach, rocks and sky. He was utterly smitten by the area and was ultimately bequeathed the cottage by the owner who had become a close family friend. Over the years he came to know the area intimately and was fascinated by the constantly changing moods of the sea and light of the sky which formed the majority of his output. One large body of work, "Towards Islay", focused on the view from the back of the cottage. He captured the patterns and waves of the sea, sometimes adding a bird, limpit, mermaid’s purse, rock lines or some seaweed. But at times his works were very abstract and symbolic, concentrating on themes of nature and transience. He was hung in all the major shows in Scotland and in galleries across the country from Aberdeenshire to Edinburgh, Glasgow and south of the border. His work also features in public collections of Stirling and Strathclyde Universities, HRH The Duke of Edinburgh and the Educational Institute of Scotland. And he was recognised with The Laing Prize for Landscape and Seascape and the RSW’s Sir William Gillies Award.

* JAMES WATT RGI (SCOTTISH 1931 - 2022), FJORD oil on canvas, signedframedimage size 20cm x 61cm, overall size 27.5cm x 67.5cm Note: James Watt was born in Port Glasgow in 1931 to Alexander Watt and his wife Isabella (nee Hooper). His entire family, including his grandfather, and everybody he knew, were in shipbuilding. He was always passionate about boats. He believed he was very lucky. "I was in the right place at the right time. I caught the tail-end of the Clydeside shipbuilding boom in the 1950s. Shipyards had full order-books and the river teemed with craft of every sort. So I always had a subject”. His paintings are in a formidable array of collections – including those of HM Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, The Princess Royal, The Arts Council, The Hunterian, Glasgow Museums, Paisley Museum & Art Gallery, IBM, Britoil, the Danish Embassy, Yarrow Shipbuilders, McKean Museum and Art Gallery, Clyde Shipping Co, the Royal Bank of Scotland and also the town council in the Faroes. Watt went to Glasgow School of Art for four years where he was taught by Ted Odling, Douglas Percy Bliss, and David Donaldson. In 1958 he was one of 13 founders of the Glasgow Group, an artists' co-operative which continues to this day. Irritated by the conformist, unadventurous policies of local exhibiting societies like the Royal Scottish Academy and the RGI, and at the dearth of commercial outlets in the city, they got together with other GSA students and graduates to exhibit at Glasgow’s then-beautiful McLellan Galleries. The Glasgow Group was the Transmission Gallery of its day. After two years National Service in the army, from 1955 to 1957 he became an art teacher, and a much-beloved one at that. He was noted for his kindness and good counsel, and one former student says of him: "I had pretty much zero talent but he sparked a lifelong love and interest in art." Another remembered “His was the fastest-moving Volvo down the school drive. He was some man." Later Watt became a member of the RGI and was elected a member of Society of Scottish Artists in 1965. In 1997 he received The Royal Bank of Scotland Award at the Glasgow Institute. He dedicated much of his life to recording the River Clyde and its industries, and his vast body of work forms a vital archive of the river. Greenock's McLean Museum and Art Gallery exhibition, The Lost Clyde: The Paintings of James Watt, was mounted to celebrate his 90th birthday. James was also the father of Alison Watt OBE FRSE RSA, one of Britain's best-known painters.

He formed working groups to reform teaching of first and second-year students, encouraged forward-looking principal teachers and recruited many young teachers. His ethos was that teachers were not just there to create artists but to give all children a good art experience. He also established a residential art course for school children, at the Pirniehall residential educational facility at Croftamie in Dunbartonshire, where youngsters from different backgrounds could investigate the idea of furthering an art career through experiencing a range of different mediums in an art camp environment. And he is said to have been instrumental in encouraging the implementation of Scotland’s Standard Grade art and design qualification. However, he suffered from the chronic arthritic condition ankylosing spondylitis which, by the age of 55, forced him to take early retirement from his post in the education department of Strathclyde Regional Council. Meanwhile, as he had strived to enthuse youngsters with his own passion for art, he had been elected, in 1977, to the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour. A member of the Glasgow Arts Club for many years, he was also an elected member of the Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts and Paisley Art Institute, served as president of the Scottish Artists’ Benevolent Association for 14 years and was a Scottish Arts Council lecturer, touring the country discussing art. But perhaps his own greatest inspiration was the view from a cottage he stumbled upon half a century ago, seven miles from Campbeltown on the Mull of Kintyre. He rented the property at Bellochantuy and set up a studio there where he drew on the vistas stretching 180 degrees, encompassing sea, beach, rocks and sky. He was utterly smitten by the area and was ultimately bequeathed the cottage by the owner who had become a close family friend. Over the years he came to know the area intimately and was fascinated by the constantly changing moods of the sea and light of the sky which formed the majority of his output. One large body of work, "Towards Islay", focused on the view from the back of the cottage. He captured the patterns and waves of the sea, sometimes adding a bird, limpit, mermaid’s purse, rock lines or some seaweed. But at times his works were very abstract and symbolic, concentrating on themes of nature and transience. He was hung in all the major shows in Scotland and in galleries across the country from Aberdeenshire to Edinburgh, Glasgow and south of the border. His work also features in public collections of Stirling and Strathclyde Universities, HRH The Duke of Edinburgh and the Educational Institute of Scotland. And he was recognised with The Laing Prize for Landscape and Seascape and the RSW’s Sir William Gillies Award.

oil on canvas, signed, titled and dated 1980 verso framed image size 56cm x 92cm, overall size 68cm x 103cm Note: James Watt was born in Port Glasgow in 1931 to Alexander Watt and his wife Isabella (nee Hooper). His entire family, including his grandfather, and everybody he knew, were in shipbuilding. He was always passionate about boats. He believed he was very lucky. "I was in the right place at the right time. I caught the tail-end of the Clydeside shipbuilding boom in the 1950s. Shipyards had full order-books and the river teemed with craft of every sort. So I always had a subject”. His paintings are in a formidable array of collections – including those of HM The Queen and Prince Philip, The Princess Royal, The Arts Council, The Hunterian, Glasgow Museums, Paisley Museum & Art Gallery, IBM, Britoil, the Danish Embassy, Yarrow Shipbuilders, McKean Museum and Art Gallery, Clyde Shipping Co, the Royal Bank of Scotland and also the town council in the Faroes. Watt went to Glasgow School of Art for four years where he was taught by Ted Odling, Douglas Percy Bliss, and David Donaldson. In 1958 he was one of 13 founders of the Glasgow Group, an artists' co-operative which continues to this day. Irritated by the conformist, unadventurous policies of local exhibiting societies like the Royal Scottish Academy and the RGI, and at the dearth of commercial outlets in the city, they got together with other GSA students and graduates to exhibit at Glasgow’s then-beautiful McLellan Galleries. The Glasgow Group was the Transmission Gallery of its day. After two years National Service in the army, from 1955 to 1957 he became an art teacher, and a much-beloved one at that. He was noted for his kindness and good counsel, and one former student says of him: "I had pretty much zero talent but he sparked a lifelong love and interest in art." Another remembered “His was the fastest-moving Volvo down the school drive. He was some man." Later Watt became a member of the RGI and was elected a member of Society of Scottish Artists in 1965. In 1997 he received The Royal Bank of Scotland Award at the Glasgow Institute. He dedicated much of his life to recording the River Clyde and its industries, and his vast body of work forms a vital archive of the river. Greenock's McLean Museum and Art Gallery exhibition, The Lost Clyde: The Paintings of James Watt, was mounted to celebrate his 90th birthday. James was also the father of Alison Watt OBE FRSE RSA, one of Britain's best-known painters.
