London Gazette 16 August 1940: ‘For good services in the withdrawal of the Allied Armies from the beaches at Dunkirk’ Herbert Henry Smith was born on 2 July 1910 in Alverstoke, Hampshire. He entered the Royal Navy as a Boy 2nd Class on 8 January 1926 and proceeded to serve in a variety of shore establishments and ships. Joining H.M.S. Hood on 18 March 1937, he was advanced to Acting Petty Officer on 7 September 1939 but transferred to the Orkney based trawler H.M.S. Leeward on 31 January 1940, thus avoiding Hood’s tragic fate the following year. Smith next served in the motor yacht, Tamahine, a Portsmouth Harbour boom defence patrol boat, from 23 April 1940 and from here found himself in the Portsmouth Inner Patrol Yacht, Caryanda, during Operation Dynamo, the Dunkirk evacuation at the end of May 1940; services which resulted in the award of his D.S.M. Built in Amsterdam in 1938 and owned by E. R. Colman of 3 Whitehall, London, SW1, the requisitioned 70ft yacht, Caryanda, under the command of Lieutenant D. A. L. Kings, left Hamble for Dover on 29 May 1940 in company with 8 other yachts (including Tamahine) of the Portsmouth Inner Patrol Flotilla. Leaving from Dover the following day, the flotilla arrived at Bray Dunes, Dunkirk at 6am on 31 May. Here, under the orders of Commodore G. O. Stephenson in the yacht Bounty, Lieutenant Kings and his crew in Caryanda organised a number of smaller boats to collect troops from the beaches, thus enabling Caryanda to ferry an estimated total of 250 troops to off-lying ships over the course of the day. Ordered finally to stand off-shore at 8.45pm, Caryanda set course for Dover at 9pm, arriving the following morning. In addition to Smith’s award, the D.S.M. was also awarded to Able Seaman T. W. Schofield for services aboard Caryanda during the Dunkirk evacuation. Smith continued to serve in a variety of vessels including the Motor Torpedo Boat Wasp and Motor Gun Boat 16. He was awarded the Naval L.S. & G.C. medal in July 1943 and advanced to Chief Petty Officer on 7 May 1945 while serving in the frigate H.M.S. Loch Katrine, based at Colombo. Continuing to serve post-war, he finally retired to a pension on 31 March 1959, the Special Remarks on his Trade Certificate at the time of his discharge describing him as: ‘A very loyal Chief Petty Officer who has always had the interest of the Service very much at heart, and who has always placed duty first.’ Sold with a number of original documents including the recipient’s Certificates of Service, Torpedo History Sheets, hand written references, a number of Trade Certificates and naval training records.

Posted to the pre-dreadnought battleship Glory from 18 June 1915 to 10 April 1916, he served during the Dardanelles Campaign; although too late to participate in the bombardment of the Ottoman forts and with the ground forces already ashore, it instead fell to a large portion of her crew to assist with the landing of weapons and stores, often under heavy Turkish fire. Glory later joined the battleship Prince George in shelling enemy positions on the peninsula in October 1915, but she was withdrawn at the end of the year and assigned to the Suez Canal Patrol.

A good Second War G.M. awarded to Mr. R. E. Robinson, a Draughtsman with the Gas Light and Coke Company, for his outstanding courage and determination in attempting to rescue two men trapped in the plant house basement at the Beckton Gas Works following a severe enemy attack on the night of 19-20 April 1941 George Medal, G.VI.R., 1st issue (Robert Edgcombe Robinson.) on original mounting pin, nearly extremely fine £3,000-£4,000 --- G.M. London Gazette 1 August 1941: Robert Edgcombe Robinson, Draughtsman, Gas Light and Coke Company (in a joint citation with David Craig Bertram, Deputy Station Engineer, Gas Light and Coke Company [also awarded the George Medal]; and Leslie Joseph Clark, Assistant Mechanical Engineer; James Coppin, Works Fireman; Peter James Eldridge, Dehydration Plant Attendant; and James Allen Nichols, Senior Assistant Engineer, all Gas Light and Coke Company [all awarded the British Empire Medal]) ‘A severe attack was make on a gas works and high explosive and incendiary bombs started serious fires. Steam pipes, water mains and electrical cables were fractured and barrels of tar caught fire and exploded. Gas mains flared and the blaze was fed by benzole which dripped from damaged flanges. Mr. Bertram displayed outstanding courage and leadership in dealing with the situation. He ran through the flames to shut down gas valves, put out fires on the top of a holder and made gallant efforts to rescue two men who were trapped in a plant house which had been wrecked by an explosion. Mr. Coppin was on duty in a valve-room when an explosion occurred. The premises were enveloped in steam and flames but Coppin, with no regard for his own safety, got his hoses to work and after three hours the fire was put out. He continued, throughout the night, to organise the firefighting in the works and was ably assisted by Mr. Nichols and Mr. Eldridge. These men by their coolness and courage set a splendid example to the others and worked in scorching heat while high explosive and incendiary bombs were falling. Mr. Robinson, after helping to put out a number of fires, learned that two men were trapped in a plant house which had been partially demolished by a bomb. The explosion had blown the walls outwards and caused part of the roof to cave in but Robinson got into the building and made his way to the basement where he thought the men might be. Great blocks of concrete and wrecked machinery were everywhere. He was warned that the rest of the roof was collapsing and he got out just before it did. In spite of the danger of being trapped himself, of the steam, burning gas and flaring benzole, Mr. Robinson made further attempts to get at the men but was forced to give up when the basement flooded. He displayed outstanding courage and determination. Mr. Clark was on holiday on the night of the raid but he borrowed a child's bicycle, the only one he could get, and pedalled through the raid to the Works, a distance of eighteen miles. He gave invaluable help in reorganising the damaged steam and water systems and in getting power supplies going. He has shown exceptional devotion to duty and disregard of his own safety during this and other raids.’ Robert Edgcombe Robinson was born at Shepshed, Loughborough, Leicestershire, on 9 April 1906, and was at the time of the award of his George Medal was employed as a Draughtsman with the Gas Light and Coke Company, based at the Beckton Gas Works in East London. He died in Wokingham, Berkshire, on 11 March 1985.

Moving to England sometime between 1889 and 1893, the Covel family were amongst 2.7 million Jews who migrated west from Russia and Eastern Europe between 1881 and 1914; many sought employment and a better standard of living, whilst others sought to avoid compulsory military service or persecution. Attesting for the Royal Garrison Artillery on 4 December 1916, Covel decided to adopt the forename ‘Jack’ during his time in uniform. Sent to France on 11 February 1918, he saw initial service with the 298th Heavy Siege Battery but was soon in hospital with sickness. Returning to his Battery a few weeks later, his Army Service Record records a severe mustard gas shell wound on 14 June 1918; listed as ‘seriously ill’, it adds ‘severe burns to legs, buttock, scrotum.’ Evacuated home per H.S. St. Denis, Covel spent months in recovery at Coombe Lodge Hospital in Essex. Transferred to Army Reserve 19 February 1919, he later returned to his family home at 62 Lord Street, Manchester, and resumed his pre-War employment as a tailor.
