chrisharley9 Posted 27 January , 2009 Author Share Posted 27 January , 2009 Hello Chris I am embarressed to ask after all the requests you have had. If you can find time I would appreciate anything you can find on one, Lt.Com.G.W.Taylor Who I believe went on to be an Admiral. It is his WW1 service that I seek, so any info would be appreciated. Many Thanks in anticipation, Margarette Not much Im afraid but does give you a bit of his early career Midshipman of the "Orlando" China 1900 served at Tienstsin with the Naval Brigade Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadsac Posted 29 January , 2009 Share Posted 29 January , 2009 WESLEY, find here two recommendations to PUREY CUST, father of `your' CUST ??? Note, no AWARD given ?? ; PUREY CUST Herbert E CB Vice Admiral RN 85U039 N/E C-in-C Home Fleets N/E Recommended Northern Base N/E N/E PUREY CUST Herbert E CB Captain RNR 84S006 Zaria Admiral Commanding Orkney & Shetlands N/E N/E Auxiliary Patrols to 31.12.16 N/E From December, 1914, since the institution of the Auxiliary Patrol scheme has been in command of H.M. Depot Ship "Zaria" and in general charge of Patrol Area 111, recommended for the rank of Commodore, R.N.R., in recognition of his services generally. from other appointments already made and his seniorority and responsibility, this would not appear to be anything but a fit appointment and it would be one much appreciated by all under his command and suitable to an officer who has the greatest number of auxiliary patrol vessels under his orders in the British Isles.

Toms girl Posted 29 January , 2009 Share Posted 29 January , 2009 Thanks Chris Disapointed as he had a briliant navl career. So far most of what I know of him is from my grandfathers notes. At one point his ship was damaged and had to be taken out of service with the Dover patrol at the time. His crew to a man signed a petition asking to join him when another battle ship was available, and in fact did. Thanks for trying Margarette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonharley Posted 3 February , 2009 Share Posted 3 February , 2009 Sadsac, If you care to look in that place only you know of and search for "Hubert Seeds Monroe" you will find the scantest biographical details of him. I'll see if I have his service record in my collection. Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
