Royal Humane Society, large bronze medal (successful) (Go. Callow Jr. Vit. Ob. Serv. D.D. Soc. Reg. Hvm. 1841) fitted with small unofficial ring for suspension, very fine £140-£180 --- The only entry found for Callow relates to a William Callow for the rescue of John Coppins at Canterbury on 1 October 1841: ‘W. Callow jumped into the river and saved him. Hon. Bronze Medal. The Silver Medallion has already been awarded to this brave man.’ R.H.S. Case No. 13,062: ‘On the 11th January 1837, when the rush of water down the river Stour was very great after the heavy fall of snow, George Lacy, a boy aged nine years, fell in, and floated down the river, passing over the floodgates, where his head was cut, into the depth below: he there became insensible. Although there were nearly fifty spectators on the spot, no one offered the poor child any assistance, until William Callow, who was then suffering from a severe cold, fearlessly plunged into the stream and, notwithstanding the impetuosity of the current, saved the boy’s life.’ Silver Medallion.
