SA-1838 Among the rarest of all Civil war items we
have ever offered. This is the numbered, Civil War Sailors
Campaign Medal, with custom solid gold hanger. This hanger
is wonderfully engraved with, "William Durst", "United
States Navy, First Monitor", "First Class Fireman",
"Hampton Roads, March 9TH, 1862.". The planchet is rim
numbered "646". The original research was done in the
1990s and is quite extensive, including testimony of his
service, desertion after service with the Monitor and
re-enlistment under an alias and further service until the
War's end. He was crewman #29 on the USS Monitor as a Coal
Hauler and was on board during the famous combat with the
Merrimac and further service. He was a participant in what
is certainly one of the most famous naval engagements in
history and what historians call the first modern battle.
He served with the USS Monitor from February 25TH, 1862
until it returned to port for repairs in November 1862. He
was ill from constant exposure to smoke and fumes, and
when he was supposed to return to his ship was still
unwell. Instead of returning he recuperated for another 2
months and re-enlisted under alias, Walter David, and
served till the Wars end. By 1912, he was believed to be
the last survivor of the crew of the Monitor and was not
determined that he was not until his death in 1916.
Loads of research on this set. He is even shown in the
famous crew shot of the Monitor shown in the listing. He
is the second seated Sailor, from the left. The medal can
be seen in the newspaper photo as an old man. It is to the
immediate right of the large circular disc around his
neck. Possibly the only opportunity to have an item from
the crew of this most famous Naval Ship. $5995
