Captain Thomas Stuart’s Medals for Gallant Service 1793-1840 This very fine group of four medals was awarded to Captain T. Stuart, Royal Navy, who was recognised for his part in the Syria operations of 1840, having already earned two Royal National Institution Lifesaving Medals for acts in his native Ireland, besides the reward of a Lloyds Sword for saving the Hannah in 1829. They are mounted in a fitted, blue velvet lined, oak display box by Hunt & Roskell. Each medal is in a fitted recess and the two for saving lives from shipwreck have their citations recorded on brass plaques above them. The lid has a handle with the brass plate engraved ‘Captn. Thomas Stuart R.N.‘ English, circa 1840.
