Bruce Dennis Posted 2 February , 2006 Share Posted 2 February , 2006 Chris, thanks very much. GOUGH-CALTHORPE was a very interesting character. I didn't know about his role in Russia or his involvement with the Titanic enquiries, but he played a part in developing anti-submarine procedures while in the Med (1916?). All the best, Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Messina1915 Posted 23 April , 2008 Share Posted 23 April , 2008 Hi Chris I don't know if you still have access to this book but is there any reference to Henry Jack Egerton? He became a Rear-Admiral in WW2, but he was a Lieutenant RN in 1914-1918. From the little I know about him, he was known by his second name of Jack - I've seen several references to him as Jack Egerton or J. Egerton. Appreciate that you may no longer have the book or that he may well not be mentioned. Thanks, Carole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOUGH-CALTHORPE Somerset The Hon. Sir, GCMG., KCB., CVO Vice Admiral RN 80E171 British C-in-C Mediterranean C-in-C British Salonika Force 22.01.19 Gazetted(M) In Mediterranean (Salonika) 01.10.17 to 01.12.18 Mentioned in Despatches A rapid move of about 250 miles, including the rebasing of the troops on the small ports of the Aegean Sea, reflects the greatest credit on the Staff and administative services, but it would have been impossible of achievement without the hearty co-operation of the Royal Navy in clearing the mine-swept areas and ports, and in assisting in the transfer of troops and stores. My thanks are specially due to this officer. Regards Sadsac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
