Orders, Decorations, Medals and Militaria

Naval General Service 1793-1840, 1 clasp, Java (James Stewart, Midshipman) lacquered, otherwise very fine £1000-1200

Ex Glendining, September 1903.

Confirmed on the published rolls for Java but his entry in Allen’s New Navy List for August 1852 shows him as in receipt of a medal with two clasps and states his services thus: ‘Midshipman of Illustrious at the attack on the French fleet in Basque Roads, storming of Flushing, capture of the Isle of France; and commanded a launch landing the troops at the capture of the Island of Java.’
