Somaliland 1902-1904 Between 18th January 1902 and 11th May 1904, there were three expeditions (following first expedition in 1901), against Diiriye Guure, the sultan of the Darawiish sultanate since hostilities began agaisnt the British in 1899. Second Expedition- 8 February to 17 October 1902. Third Expedition- 4 November 1902 to 3 July 1903 Fourth Expedition- 26 October 1903 to 25 April 1904 Naval medals were awarded to those engaged in Diiriye Guure's Darawiish sultanate between 18 January 1902 and 11 May 1904 and to those officers and men who accompanying Colonel AN Rochfort CB, CMG, with the Abyssinian forces- Royal Navy, King's Liverpool Regiment. Captain Hewett belonged to the British Navy (Her Majesty’s Indian Naval Service), serving in India and Burma and had some association with the East India Company. He served during the ‘Third Burma War’ which arose because of the threatened interference by the King of Burma in the timber trade of the Bombay-Burma Trading Company, and resulted in the occupation of Mandalay and the deposition of King Thibaw. His son Mr Neil Hewett, who died in 1998, migrated to New Zealand with his family following his retirement from the Bombay-Burma Trading Corporation, circa 1950. He went first to Australia, but before long decided that he preferred New Zealand. He came initially to Auckland and later lived at Tauranga, then Rotorua and finally at Puketapu in the Hawke’s Bay. During the 1950s he was New Zealand’s representative on Unicef (for East Africa). Mr Hewett previously donated several Burmese wooden carvings ‘collected’ by his father to the Auckland Museum (see below - ethnology collections). They relate to his military service in Burma, in particular the seated wooden figure was from King Thibaw’s royal barge, and received by Captain Hewett at the time of King Thibaw’s surrender to the British troops. Family tradition also has it that Captain Hewett received the surrender sword from King Thebaw. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
