The Stanley Horesh Collection of Egypt

Joshua Stanley Horesh 1924–2013

Joshua Stanley Horesh was born on 20 April 1924 in London and lived most of his life in Hammersmith, even though his parents had deep roots in the Middle East. After attending St Paul’s Boys’ School and for a period serving in the army, Stanley studied for an external degree in commerce from London University and would have liked to become an engineer but chose instead to join his father’s import/export business. In 1955 he arried Marian, with whom he had three children. He took over the running of the family company, DE Horesh & Co, after his father’s retirement in the early 1960s.

Stanley was a great contributor to a number of communal organisations, and he was a stalwart of the Egypt Study Circle, which he had first joined in 1965. Frequent travel commitments prevented Stanley from taking the Chair, yet he contributed greatly to the society both through his flair for organisation and his considerable specialist knowledge.

His recent death is a great loss to his fellow collectors, who will especially miss his insights into Worid War I military mail in the Middle East, travelling post offices, French Post Offices, maritime mail and other favourite fields of study.

1106 ▲ The Great Siege of Gibraltar, 1781 (Apr. 12, 18) two naval despatches, both signed by Vice-Admiral George Darby on the “Britannia off Gibraltar” addressed to General Elliott, the first written to accompany boxes containing a substantial amount of money from the Treasury, delivered under the custody of Capt. Conway, the second conveying his positive response to Elliott’s request for “any quantity of biscuit . . . for the use of the Garrison as a resource in case of any accident happening to the ovens” and with Elliott’s reply hastily written on the same document, he having met the bearer of Darby’s letter “on the road”, slight climatic age staining. George Augustus Eliott, 1st Baron Heathfield, KB (1717-1790) is remembered for his dogged defence in command of the Gibraltar garrison during the Great Siege, which lasted between 1779 and 1783. Vice Admiral George Darby (c.1720-1790) had commanded the Channel Fleet in 1780 and was appointed one of the Lords of the Admiralty. On April 12 (date of the first letter) Darby had entered the bay with 29 ships of the line escorting one hundred store ships from England, the Spanish fleet being unable to intercept the relief expedition. Frustrated by this failure the Spanish carried out a barrage of the town causing great panic and terror among the civil population who consequently chose to leave with Darby on April 21.

1107 ▲ 1798 (Nov. 2) naval despatch addressed to Commodore Duckworth with orders for Capt.

Sir John Thomas Duckworth, 1st Baronet, GCB (1748-1817) was later Governor of Newfoundland during the War of 1812. He had sailed for Minorca on Oct. 19 1798 where he was a joint commander with Sir Charles Stuart in support of the invasion.

Sir John Thomas Duckworth, 1st Baronet, GCB (1748-1817) was later Governor of Newfoundland during the War of 1812. He had sailed for Minorca on Oct. 19 1798 where he was a joint commander with Sir Charles Stuart in support of the invasion. Photo. £110-£130

Sir John Thomas Duckworth, 1st Baronet, GCB (1748-1817) had served as joint commander with Sir Charles Stuart in support of the invasion of Minorca and had been promoted to Admiral of the White the previous month. On Apr. 5, whilst blockading Cadiz, he succeeded in capturing a valuable Spanish convoy from Lima, bringing in two frigates and eleven richly laden merchant vessels. General Charles O'Hara (1740-1802) was Governor of Gibraltar from Dec. 1795 to Feb. 1802. In the course of a varied career O'Hara had the dubious distinction of being obliged to surrender personally to both George Washington and Napoleon Bonaparte.
