Naming is officially impressed. Board mounted, crisp detail, despite light contact marks and single bruise, in very fine condition. Accompanied by research papers from the National Archives comfirming him on the medal roll. Footnote: The naval Battle of Navarino was fought on October 20, 1827, during the Greek War of Independence (1821-32) in Navarino Bay (modern-day Pylos), on the west coast of the Peloponnese peninsula, in the Ionian Sea. A combined Ottoman and Egyptian armada consisting of 78 ships was destroyed by a combined British, French and Russian naval force of 22 ships. The British force consisted of 7 ships: Asia, Albion and Genoa (on which LM Daniel Hawkins was serving), Glasgow, Cambrian, Dartmouth and Talbot and was complemented by 5 French and 8 Russian ships. It is notable for being the last major naval battle in history to be fought entirely with sailing ships. The northern European ships were better armed than their Egyptian and Ottoman opponents and their crews were better trained, contributing to a complete victory. The central factor which precipitated the intervention of the three European Great powers in the Greek conflict were Russia's ambitions to expand in the Black Sea region at the expense of the Ottoman Empire and her emotional support for the fellow-Orthodox Christian Greeks, who had rebelled against their Ottoman overlords in 1821. As Russia's intentions in the region were seen as a major geostrategic threat by the other powers, British and Austro-Hungarian diplomacy aimed at preventing Russian intervention in the hope that the Ottoman government would succeed in suppressing the rebellion. But in late 1825, the accession to the Russian throne of Tasr Nicholas I, who adopted a more aggressive Balkan policy, forced Britain to intervene, for fear that an unrestrained Russia would dismantle the Ottoman Empire altogether and establish Russian hegemony in the Near East. France joined the other two powers in order to restore her leading role in European affairs after her defeat in the Napoleonic Wars. The governments of all three powers were also under intense pressure from their home public opinion to help the Christian Greeks, especially after the invasion of the Peloponnese in 1825 by Ottoman vassal Ibrahim Pasha of Egypt and the atrocities committed by his forces against the indigenous population. The Powers agreed, by the Treaty of London (1827), to force the Ottoman government to grant autonomy within the empire to the Greeks and despatched naval squadrons to the eastern Mediterranean Sea to enforce their policy. The naval battle happened more by accident than by design as a result of a manoeuvre by the Powers' commander-in-chief Admiral Edward Codrington aimed at coercing Ibrahim to obey their instructions. The sinking of the Ottomans' Mediterranean fleet saved the fledgling Greek Republic from collapse. However, it required two more military interventions, by Russia in the form of the Russo-Turkish war of 1828-29 and by a French expeditionary force to the Peloponnese to force the withdrawal of Ottoman forces from central and southern Greece and to secure Greek independence.

Accompanied by a soft-covered binder with plastic sleeves, containing copies of his Service Records and Discharge Papers from the National Archives, along with assorted research papers.\n \nFootnote: Adam Crooks (or sometimes spelled \"Crook\" as per the medal) was born in Kilmarnock, Scotland in 1787. He was a Skinner by trade and enlisted in the Royal Artillery on August 3, 1803, at the age of 16. He was in the 6th Battalion, Royal Artillery under Major George Crawford and was to serve with the battalion for his entire career. Crooks served in the Portuguese and Spanish campaigns under Sir John Moore from August 1808 to January 1809, including the retreat to Corunna, earning him the Corunna clasp for the MGSM and is listed as as a Gunner on the Muster Rolls from October 1808 and January 1809. The Battle of Corunna took place on January 16, 1809, when a French corps under Marshal of the Empire Nicolas Jean de Dieu Soult attacked a British army under Lieutenant-General Sir John Moore. The battle took place during the Peninsula War, which was part of the Napoleonic Wars. It was a result of a French campaign, led by Napoleon, which had defeated the Spanish armies and caused the British army to withdraw to the coast following an unsuccessful attempt by Moore to attack Soult's corps and divert the French army. Doggedly pursued by the French under Soult, the British made an epic retreat across northern Spain, during which both armies suffered extremely from the harsh, winter conditions. The British army suffered a loss of order and discipline during the retreat on several occasions. When the British eventually reached the port of Corunna, on the northern coast of Galicia in Spain, a few days ahead of the French, they found their transport ships had not arrived. After a couple of days, the fleet arrived. The British were in the process of embarking, when the French forces marched up and forced the British to fight a battle before they could depart for England. In the resulting action, the British were able to fend off the French and complete their embarkation, saving their army from destruction but leaving the port cities of Corunna and Ferrol, as well as northern Spain, to be captured and occupied by the French. During the battle, Sir John Moore, the British commander, was mortally wounded, dying and hearing all the French attacks had been repulsed. Crooks survived the conflict and embarked Corruna after the battle, disembarking at Ramsgate on February 14, 1809 and was at Portsmouth on February 20th. He is also on record as being in Sicily with a detachment under Captain Kirby from August 1809 to December 1810. Crooks was discharged in consequence of a reduction in the army, on September 15, 1814 at Woolwich, having spent three years and sixty-three days in the rank of Bombardier and the rest as a Gunner, serving a total of eleven years and forty-four days (two years of which were underage) with the 6th Battalion, Royal Artillery. He was placed on Pension, which was established on April 14, 1824. His pension records state: \"Has the medal for Corunna and states he was in Portugal and Spain 1808-9\". Fifty years later, the rate of his Pension was increased to 1\/6d per diem on October 20, 1874. Crooks appears to have returned to his original trade of Skinner and is listed in Kilmarnock directories as a Skinner (a person that prepares or deals in hides) and Fellmonger (a dealer in hides or skins, particularly sheepskins, who might also prepare skins for tanning). He was married to Elizabeth Crooks, who was thirteen years his junior and is listed in the Scottish censuses on 1851, 1861 and 1871. In the census of 1851, the couple is documented as having three children: Adam Crooks Jr. (b. 1827 in Kilmarnock), Joanna (b. 1830) and Janet (b. 1832). In addition, a great-daughter, Hellen, aged 4, was also living with them at 33 Soulis Street, an area where other Skinners and Fellmongers resided at the time. He was also listed as a Chelsea Pensioner (which was an in-pensioner at the Royal Hospital Chelsea, a retirement home and nursing home for former members of the British Army located in Chelsea, London. Historically, however, the phrase applied more widely, referring to both in-pensioners and out-pensioners). By 1871, Adam and Elizabeth Crooks were residing at 25 Robertson Place, Kilmarnock. Crooks died on June 6, 1879 in Kilmarnock, at the age of 92 and was among the last survivors of the Corunna campaign.","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46109439230229,"sku":"GB3957","price":2100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/a_military_gener_53da5688eb172.jpg?v=1692839911"},{"product_id":"naval-general-service-medal-1793-1840-gb1224","title":"Naval General Service Medal 1793-1840","description":"One clasp: JAVA; indented in Roman capitals: FRANCIS HEATH.
