An article on the Padstow Station, which last year celebrated its Centenary, appeared in the Life-boat for last November, and particulars were given of the Medals which had been won by Padstow Life-boatmen. Several Medals have to be added to those mentioned in that article, and the following is the complete list of these honours:— The first Silver Medal was won by William Giles in 1833, when he went out with seven volunteers and saved four out of five of the crew of the brig Albion.

The second was awarded in 1859 to Daniel Shea, Chief officer of Coastguard and Coxswain of the Life-boat, for long service. Next year he won the Second Service Clasp for the service to the ship James Alexander, of Liverpool, and five years later a Third Service Clasp for his share in the rescue of the crew of seventeen of the barque Juliet, of Greenock. William Hills, who was Coxswain of the Life-boat when the service to the Juliet was carried out, was awarded the Silver Medal for that service.

Coxswain William Corkhill won the Silver Medal in 1872 for the service to the barque Viking, of Sunderland, and three years later he received the Clasp " for long and valuable services." Samuel Bate, the Second Coxswain, was also awarded the Silver Medal for the service to the Viking.

Coxswain William Webb received the Silver Medal on his retirement in 1883, and it was awarded to Coxswain William Henry Baker in 1911, for the service to the Angele, of Brest, when he showed conspicuous courage and leadership.

Altogether during the century the Padstow Life-boatmen were awarded seven Silver Medals and three Clasps..
