Royal Naval Reserve (RNR) Officers
1939-1945

Looking for details on a RNR officer not listed here yet?
Just e-mail me, and I might be able to help out.
Of course, any additions, corrections etc. can also be e-mailed.

Note. In naval circles it is custom to refer to the commander of a vessel as Captain. The Navy List bears the phrase "in command".
Strictly out of practical considerations CO (Commanding Officer) is used here on this site. Abbreviations and explanations can be found at the help page.

gallantry in Norwegian M.S. "Elizabeth Bakke" in war

The Herald (Melbourne, Vict.), 09.11.1944:
Norwegian award to brave Brighton lad
Dramatic war exploits. King Haakon of Norway has conferred a decoration and a Diploma of Merit on Lieut. Ian Norman Macrae, a young Australian Royal Naval Reserve officer, who took part in several dramatic war exploits before he was lost while serving in a British submarine two
years ago. His parents, Mr and Mrs Donald Macrae, ol Bright Street, East Brighton, have not yet had official advice about the decoration, and no details of the exploit for which the award was made have been received in Australia. A dispatch from the British Government to the Acting Governor-General (Sir Winston Dugan) merely says that King Haakon conferred the decoration in recognition of Macrae's gallantry while serving in the Norwegian motorship Elizabeth Bakke during the war. The official secretary to the Governor-General (Captain L.S. Bracegirdle) had to seek the help of the police to trace Macrae's next-of-kin, whose address was given as "Bligh Street, East Victoria."
Notable escape. While serving as Third Officer on a merchant ship, Macrae was captured by the Germans in the first battle of Narvik. After 10 months in a Nazi prison camp, he organised a notable escape to Scotland (the details of which have never been revealed). He was then only 22.
Some of that part of his adventures was cabled from London and published in The Herald. Under fire from British destroyers, the captives were marched 42 miles through snow - filled mountain passes from Norway to Sweden. Forty who were still able to stagger at the end of the terrible journey, dragged the remaining 20 along with them. Following his escape from Sweden, Macrae was selected to be trained as an RNR officer at the Royal Naval College, Greenwich. On gaining a commission, he transferred immediately to the submarine service, and his submarine went through the blitz on Malta. His first ship helped to transport the British Expeditionary Force to France. His second war voyage was to South America, and his third took him to Narvik. Mr and Mrs Macrae were advised by the Admiralty in January, 1943, that their son's submarine was lost "while engaged on special service." and early this year they received further advice of presumption of his death.
Passion for sea. Mrs Macrae said today that her son had a passion for the sea ever since he was a youngster. Before he was 17 he persuaded his parents to allow him to become an apprentice in sailing ships in the Australian grain trade. After three years as a trainee in sail he joined the British mercantile marine to complete his apprenticeship bv one year "in steam." Educated at University High School. Ian McCrae was assistant secretary and assistant treasurer of the Melbourne Highland Pipe Band, and a warrant officer in the Victorian Scottish Regiment before he went to sea. His elder brother, Robert, is an AIF commando officer, and his only sister, Elva, is an AWAS corporal.
