Provenance: Glendining’s 1952; Spink 1991.
Philip Bond entered the Navy on 16 October 1807, as Midshipman, on board the Barracouta sloop, Captain George Harris, in which vessel he proceeded to the East Indies, where, on removing, with the same officer, into the Sir Francis Drake frigate, he was for more than three years very actively employed, particularly off the island of Java. He returned home in January 1812, on board the Phoebe 36, Captain James Hillyer. He afterwards served with Captain Harris for seventeen months in the Belle Poule 38, in the Channel and off the coast of Spain; and, on the latter vessel being converted into a troop-ship, attended, under Captain Francis Baker, the expedition to New Orleans in 1814-15. He was promoted, from the Isis 50, bearing the flag in the Thames of Sir Home Popham, to the rank of Lieutenant on 19 October in the latter year. In July 1851, he was placed on the reserved list.
Lieutenant Bond has received a medal for the capture of Java. He married, we believe, a Miss Lafargue (O’Bryne’s Naval Biography 1861 refers).
