Notes | China War Medal 1857-60 Awarded to Lieut. Walter Heneage Hunt Grubbe, HMS Cormorant. Bar- Taku Forts 1858 (20th May 1858) HMS Cormorant was a Royal Navy Vigilant Class gunboat, launched on 23rd February 1856. From late 1857 took part in a number of actions during the second China (Opium) War until on 28th June 1859 she was sunk during an unsuccessful British attack on the Taku Forts, on the Peiho river. Walter Heneage Hunt Grubbe (1835-1864) was working in New Zealand as a surveyor at the time of his death (from heart disease) near Whangamarino on 6th July 1864. Shortly before coming to New Zealand he had received a commission as Gunnery Lieutenant (22 June 1863) in the New South Wales Naval Brigade. He probably came to New Zealand in March-April 1864 with W. R. Collett, formerly Chief-Commissioner for Roads in New South Wales who had been appointed Chief Superintendent of Roads and Bridges in New Zealand and brought with him from Australia a a staff of "120 men, consisting of surveyors, overseers, ganger navvies, bridge builders, &c." (Daily Southern Cross, 4 April 1864, Page 3). His death is commemorated on a family plaque at the church of St Mary the Virgin, Potterne, UK. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
