A rare Memorial Plaque and Scroll posthumously awarded to Able Seaman Edward Henry Coase, Royal Navy, who

MEMORIAL PLAQUE 1914-18 (Edward Henry Coase) with associated slip in card envelope; together with Memorial Scroll,
medal extremely fine £120-160
Edward Henry Coase was born in Devonport, Devon, on 5 October 1896. He enlisted into the Royal Navy as a Boy 2nd Class on 28
March 1912 and was advanced to Boy 1st Class in August the same year. He entered the war serving on the battleship Centurion, on
which he was promoted to Ordinary Seaman in October 1914 and Able Seaman in June 1915. He then served at Vivid I, November
1915-July 1916, before joining the gunboat Glowworm, based on Halcyon, July 1916-September 1918; Pembroke II, October 1918;
Monitor 25, October 1918-May 1919, and Fox, June 1919-August 1919. Able Seaman Coase was killed on 25 August 1919 ‘as a result
of the blowing up of an ammunition lighter.’
On the night of 25 August 1919, the gunboats Glowworm and Cockchafer were proceeding down the Dvina River to relieve Cricket
and Cicala as part of the advance guard on R.N. gunboats operating on the Dvina.
As the Glowworm and Cockchafer neared Bereznik the watch on the Glowworm spotted a barge on fire mid river. The Mercantile
Marine Reserve and Russian crew of Army barge NT326 “Edinburgh” had raked out the galley fire as usual before heading to their
hammocks for the night. Closer to midnight two of the crew awoke to find the aft cabin ablaze. Unable to stem the flames some of the
crew fled the barge in a small boat. The crew of the barge had good reason to flee the inferno as they knew what Commander Green
onboard Glowworm did not, that the barge was being used to transport ammunition and was loaded with 70 tons of explosive.
