London Gazette 1 July 1941, Birthday Honours List: ‘Temporary Skipper Alfred Augustus Hindes, 311 T.S., R.N.R.’ Alfred Augustus Hindes was born at Lowestoft on 6 March 1894, and prior to the outbreak of the war was working on fishing trawlers out of Lowestoft as a Deck Hand. Having joined the Royal Naval Reserve he was immediately called up on 10 August 1914 for minesweeping services as a Deck Hand. He served aboard various trawlers and drifters and by the end of the war was based at Ganges, a Minesweeper Trawler base, from where he was demobilised on 26 January 1919. In February 1919 Hindes joined the newly formed Mine Clearance Service for which he subsequently was awarded the arm badge. The outbreak of the Second World War saw him called up and appointed Temporary Skipper on 9 January 1940, and promoted to Skipper by August 1940 when he joined H.M. Trawler Sunlight, operating out of Queensborough Pier, near Sheerness, known as H.M.S. Wildfire II which in July 1941 became H.M.S. Tudno. This came under Nore Command which covered the North Sea from Flamborough Head to North Foreland and across to the enemy held coastline. Sunlight twice had her bows blown up by acoustic mines in the early days before a method was devised to explode the mine further ahead of the ship. He left Sunlight shortly after February 1943 after the vessel had been attacked by E boats and aircraft, limping into Aberdeen where she was paid off. He was then Skipper of the trawler Charles Dorian, based at H.M.S. Miranda, Great Yarmouth, sweeping the channels and escorting convoys up the East Coast as part of the 13th Minesweeping Group. She was paid off in Glasgow in June 1945, when Hindes was also demobilised. He died on 30 July 1966, at Kelling, near Holt, Norfolk, and is buried in Lowestoft Cemetery. Sold with copied research.

E. Newman, 31 St James Road, Hastings’, extremely fine (5) £3,000-£4,000 --- Importation Duty This lot is subject to importation duty of 5% on the hammer price unless exported outside the UK --- --- D.S.M. London Gazette 16 August 1940: ‘For bravery and devotion to duty in certain of H.M. Trawlers employed on the coast of Norway - Seaman Charles Newman, R.N.R., H.M.S. Arab.’ The following awards were given to the crew of the Arab, all announced in this same London Gazette: Victoria Cross - Lieutenant Richard Been Stannard, R.N.R. Distinguished Service Order - Sub-Lieutenant Ernest Thomas Lees, R.A.N.V.R. Conspicuous Gallantry Medal - Second Hand David George Spindler, R.N.R. Distinguished Service Medal - Mr James Nicholson, 2nd Engineer, R.N.R., and Seaman Charles Newman, R.N.R. M.I.D. - Seaman Charles Hossack, R.N.R.. The citation for Stannard’s V.C. states: ‘For outstanding valour and signal devotion to duty at Namsos. When enemy bombing attacks had set on fire many tons of hand grenades on Namsos wharf, with no shore water supply available, Lieutenant Stannard ran Arab’s bows against the wharf and held her there. Sending all but two of his crew aft, he then endeavoured for two hours to extinguish the fire with hoses from the forecastle. He persisted in this work till the attempt had to be given up as hopeless. After helping other ships against air attacks, he placed his own damaged vessel under shelter of a cliff, landed his crew and those of two other trawlers, and established an armed camp. Here those off duty could rest while he attacked enemy aircraft which approached by day, and kept anti-submarine watch during the night. When another trawler near-by was hit and set on fire by a bomb, he, with two others, boarded Arab and moved her 100 yards before the other vessel blew up. Finally, when leaving the fjord, he was attacked by a German bomber which ordered him to steer East or be sunk. He held on his course, reserved his fire till the enemy was within 800 yards, and then brought the aircraft down. Throughout a period of five days Arab was subjected to 31 bombing attacks and the camp and Lewis gun positions ashore were repeatedly machine-gunned and bombed; yet the defensive position was so well planned that only one man was wounded. Lieutenant Stannard ultimately brought his damaged ship back to an English port. His continuous gallantry in the presence of the enemy was magnificent, and his enterprise and resource not only caused losses to the Germans but saved his ship and many lives.’ H.M. Trawler Arab, originally a Hull trawler requisitioned by the Navy was sent by the Admiralty, under the command of Lieutenant Richard Been Stannard, as part of the 15th Anti Submarine Striking Force and had the task of sweeping the fjords for enemy submarines and to land supplies at the small fishing port of Namsos. On 28 April 1940, when enemy bombing attacks had set on fire many tons of ammunition and stores on the wharf, Lieutenant Stannard ran Arab’s bows against the wharf and held her there. Sending all but two of his crew aft, he endeavoured for two hours to extinguish the fire with hoses from the forecastle. He persisted in this work till the attempt had to be given up as hopeless. Stannard later received orders to evacuate French troops from a landing stage at 23.59 hours and transfer them to a troop-ship which was completed at 03.30. Following this Arab made for a small bay. In the vicinity were two sister trawlers, H.M.S. Gaul and Aston-Villa. On 1st May Gaul received a direct hit and was sinking, her crew making for the shore. Stannard placed Arab under shelter of a cliff, landed his crew and with those of the other vessels established a camp, where they were frequently attacked. When the trawler Aston Villa was hit Stannard, with two others, boarded Arab and moved her out of danger. On leaving the fjord on 2nd May Arab was attacked by a German Heinkel 115 bomber which ordered them to steer east or be sunk. Stannard held his course and, when the aircraft made her final run in to bomb the trawler, Arab’s Oerlikon gun brought the plane down. Throughout the five day action Arab was subjected to 31 bombing attacks. Lieutenant Stannard then brought Arab back to Scapa arriving on 6th May and on 16th August was awarded the V.C., and Newman his D.S.M. Charles Edwin Newman was born in Hastings, Sussex, on 25 March 1915. He joined the Navy on 19 March 1940 (Official No. JX.184489) and as Ordinary Seaman joined H.M. Trawler Hazel on 10 April but transferred to H.M. Trawler Arab on 21 April 1940. In November 1941, still serving in Arab, he changed branches to become a Stoker 1st Class (new Official No. KX.148617) and continued in Arab until 19 December 1942. He was held on the books of Europa, R.N.P.S. base at Lowestoft, for the remainder of the war, but from June to October 1945 saw service in the Virginia, yacht of 712 tons, at Columbo, Ceylon, Bahrain, Persian Gulf and Bombay.

The British War Medal awarded to Lieutenant R. Carron, H.M. Coastguard, late Royal Navy, who dedicated 30 years of service attempting to save life from shipwreck in South West Cornwall British War Medal 1914-20 (Ch. Offr. R. Carron. R.N.) extremely fine £60-£80 --- Robert Carron was born at Devonport on 1 October 1857 and joined the Royal Navy as Boy 2nd Class on 8 October 1873. Raised Able Seaman aboard Defence 1 April 1878, he transferred to the Coastguard Service in 1884 and was initially posted to the Mount’s Bay fishing harbour of Porthleven. Sent to Cadgwith on 8 March 1891 and Coverack on 29 December 1893, Carron was mentioned in the Royal Cornwall Gazette on 28 November 1895: ‘Terrible Shipwreck near Falmouth. Early on Tuesday morning the treacherous Manacle Rocks near Falmouth were again the scene of a terrible disaster, involving the loss of five lives. Had it not been for the prompt and timely assistance rendered by the Coverack Coastguards-men and life saving brigade, the loss of life must have been far more serious... The ill-fated vessel was the three masted Russian barque Anne Elizabeth, 398 tons, Captain Simonsen, bound from Cardiff to Christiana, with 531 tons of coal... The life saving apparatus was placed on a waggon, drawn by three horses. He (A. Jeffers) was accompanied by Coastguards Wills, Carron, Moyse, Guy, Rutter, Love and Sims. Traversing over the roughest roads possible to imagine, steep, zig-zag paths, strewn with huge boulders, having to be traversed at high speed, Wills, Carron, Guy and Love, at great risk, waded into the raging surf and helped the unfortunate man.’ Transferred to Porthallow, Carron was called to the Plymouth Guildhall in March 1899 as witness to the unfortunate condition of the Captain of the ketch Rothiemay. According to Carron: ‘The Captain was either mad or drunk to have run his craft in the position she was in when she stuck’. Advanced Chief Boatman at St Ives and Penzance, Carron ended his service at Wicklow in June 1919, being granted the honorary rank of Lieutenant. He died in 1943 at Heamoor, Penzance.
