Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve (RNVR) Officers
1939-1945

Looking for details on a RNVR 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. For some more explanations & abbreviations see the help page.

As the Navy List shows no appointments, family stories sketch this image: "James Gibson joined the RNVR as a rating and served with LCT (Landing Craft Tank). He was in a disastrous Russian convey in which only 5 ships survived. At some stage, he was taken off a ship while it was in the Mediterranean on its way to Malta, to return to the UK to receive his commission (Sub Lieutenant). Shortly after he was taken off, his ship was sunk with all hands. After receiving his commission, he stuck his first command on a sand bank while leaving the Clyde."

John Frederic Gibson spent his early years at sea, sailing around the world in Finnish, four-masted barques and serving as a submarine navigator during World War Two. He turned to writing in the mid-1940s, working in London, England for a literary agency and for Twentieth Century Fox in the company’s European Story Department. His first book – Dark Seas Above (A Submariner’s Notebook) – was published in 1947, followed by Memory Bay, a collection of essays on travel between Lapland and Cape Horn. A move to Cornwall in 1948 served as inspiration for two novels set in that locale – The Bright and The Dark and The Heart of The Street – and a history of the Brocklebank Shipping Company. In 1958 Gibson moved to British Columbia where his experiences working with First Nations peoples for the Department of Social Welfare gave rise to a novel, File on Helen Morgan, and the non-fiction work, A Small & Charming World.
Published: Dark seas above (1947; reminiscences; reprinted 2000 with subtitle: HM Submarine Taurus); The bright and the dark (1948; novel); The heart of the street (1949; novel); Memory Bay (1950; autobiographical reminiscences); Brocklebanks 1770-1950 (1953; company history); File on Helen Morgan (1968); A small and charming world (1972).

His son writes: "F.L. Glover was a school headmaster by profession. By 1941, having been turned down for paratrooper duty, he was eager to join His Majesty's Navy and was accepted by the Admiralty mid August 1941. He was at HMS Ganges by 23 Sept '41 F.L. Glover served as an ordinary seaman (cadet?) on HMS Verdun on a convoy to Russia in early 1942. At the end of the voyage the Captain took Fred aside and said he'd be recommended for training as an officer. I have his letter to my future Mother as evidence. His return address was F.L.Glover ord/sea Clx301528 H.M.S. Verdun, Mess 2 C/O GPO London. Moved to Utah in 1948 on a teacher exchange. Frederick had to return to England in summer 1949 for additional naval service. He finally returned to the US and family in 1950."

sinking of the Bismarck [investiture 21.10.41]

Café proprietor. Gained aviator's licence No. 13905 taken on a D.H. Moth, Gipsy I, 85 h.p. at the Cotswold Areo Club, 10.06.1936.

* When Bismarck & Prinz Eugen appeared in Norway, the Officer in Command of HMS Sparrowhawk (RNAS Hatston), Captain Henry Lockhart St. John Fancourt, RN made efforts to attack the German warships should she attempt to break put. However, the Albacore TSRs transferred to his station did not have the range to reach Bergen and attack - they'd have to catch them at sea after leaving. When the RAF was unable to get aircraft over Bergen in the prevailing weather, he volunteered put together a crew and make the attempt in the stations fast, multi-engine Maryland, AR720 (W). The plane was nominally assigned to 771 Squadron, FAA, the station's fleet requirements unit. He had little problem finding a pilot - the Officer Commanding 771 Squadron, Temporary Lieutenant (A) Noel Ernest Goddard, RNVR insisted he be allowed to make the effort with a volunteer crew. Not to be outdone, both rating members of his regular crew, Acting Leading Airman John Walker Armstrong, SFx.900 (TAG-WO) and Leading Airman J. D. Milne (TAG-AG) claimed their right to go. The mission needed a top notch navigator, and Commander Geoffrey Alexander Rotherham, OBE, RN, the Station's executive officer, a highly experienced observer, volunteered to lead the flight. The mission (22nd May 1941), flown at low altitude in IRF (Instrument Flight Rules) conditions, was flown exactly as laid out with Rotherham making a perfect landfall and they penetrated the fjord and established that the two German warships had sailed. Armstrong sent Morse signals to Coastal Command but no receipt was returned. Rotherham had Armstrong break into the target tow frequency and signal the word directly to the station. Not relying only on this (though Admiral Tovey did get the word), he had Goddard fly directly to Sumburgh, Hatston's advanced airfield, where the torpedo armed Albacores were waiting to depart on their strike. The torpedo strike never came off as the search effort did not sight the German warships. However, acting on Rotherham's message, Tovey sailed with the Home Fleet and, as we all know, eventually cornered and sank Bismarck after the FAA aircrew of HMS Ark Royal's TSR Squadrons crippled the ship with a virtual last chance strike in abysmal weather. The 16 September 1941 edition of the London Gazette noted the awarding of many honours for those involved in the destruction of Bismarck. Included were three of the Maryland's aircrew. Rotherham was awarded the DSO, Goddard was awarded the DSC, and Armstrong the DSM.

His son Howard R. Gray writes: "My father also attended the Empire Test Pilot School at Farnborough though I don't have any record of that, he was a test pilot at the end of the war and just after. He later returned to civilian life with my grandfather in their clothing business in Burnley Lancashire. Shortly after that he decamped to Africa to join locust control, they got no aircraft so he moved on the the Rhodesian Customs service for a short while then he became a colonial police officer (finally Senior Superintendent) in the Tanganyika Police until the end of the 50s when her went to work for MI6 or Special Branch. Later on he became the Craft Master at Shebbear College in Devon England until he finally retired. He died at an air show, passing away either at the base or in an RN helicopter en route to hospital from RAF St Mawgan; so far as I am aware somewhat unusual as a way of passing for a retired naval officer."

An English painter, although many people thought of him as Russian. He was born in England, son of an English mother and Russian father, but when both parents died before he was three years old, Stanley was taken to the Baltic provinces to be brought up by his father’s family, descendants of the fairy tale brothers Grimm. He went to Munich in about 1911 to study art in the Knirr atelier, and was at this time exhibiting in Berlin, Munich and Venice. In 1913 he married a childhood friend and fellow art student Maria (Masha) Oulpe. When the First World War broke out, Stanley was interned at Ruhleben until an exchange was organised in 1916. England then became the home for Grimms, apart from the brief visit Stanley paid to Russia 1918. Money ran out, and he was forced to work for the Bolshevik authorities painting propaganda pictures “by the mile” and always in red, to mark the anniversary of the revolution. He escaped by way of a smuggler’s fishing boat through Finland and back to London. Matisse saw the young Grimm’s work and described him as a very gifted painter with a fine sense of colour. In 1919 there was an exhibition of paintings from Ruhleben which must have been a sensational attraction in post-war London, for it was visited by about 40,000 people. Stanley’s paintings sold well, one purchaser being the Crown Princess of Sweden. In 1924 the Sunday Times critic wrote, “There is a brilliant decorative glamour in some of Utrillo’s street scenes and some of Grimm’s vigorous paintings.” He became a very fashionable portrait painter, although he has also painted forceful landscapes and attractive flower pieces. Among his portrait commissions were such diverse characters as Beatrice Eden, Aneurin Bevan and Prince Youssoupoff (who helped kill Rasputin). One of the conditions of this last mentioned commission was that the sitter could take a gramophone with him since he could no longer bear silence. I do not know how this went down with the painter, as, when painting the Catalan cellist Antoni Sala, the gentleman is said to have let his bow stray over the strings, when he was told sharply, “For goodness sake man, stop it and keep your hands still: do you want your music to make a mess of my picture?” In 1930 the Sunday Times wrote, “He is evidently an instinctive painter with a large way of looking at things and a downright way of setting them down. it is clear, too, that he allows every subject to dictate its own style of execution and this gives his work an effect of variety… ploughing his way to composition through painting would not be a bad description of his way of making a picture.” Stanley was elected the ROI in 1934 and the RP in 1936. He consistently refused to let his name be put forward for election to the RA. War again engulfed the world, and Stanley served his country first as a Special Constable, the first bearded one in London, but later his skills in languages resulted in his becoming a Liaison Officer with the RNVR, spending 18 months in Iceland where he painted landscapes later exhibited in London. After the war, and the peace talks, for he was part of the Naval contingent in Paris, Stanley returned to his Chelsea studio to continue painting. Stanley has written, “It is the mental development, and not the craftsmanship, which separates the great artist from the mediocre one. It is just as in other runs of life – there are not many Winston Churchills among the public men of this world. The technique of drawing and painting can be learned, but it is the mind behind the tools that fashion the picture into a good or vulgar, or just dull one.”
