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.

His son writes: "He had wished to join the Navy, but was prevented because he had a fused backbone and thus considered medically unfit. Through a family connection, he was alerted to the fact that the Thames Patrol of the Port of London Authority was to be incorporated into the RNPS. So he joined the PLA as a seaman, and duly joined the Navy automatically (with a cursory medical exam) where he was transferred to Coastal Forces. It was as a seaman and PLA employee that he earned his George Medal."

A granddaughter writes: "In 1940 Arthur, already a Merchant Seaman, was keen to join the RN. He was called up into the Navy for training in Skegness as a Telegraphist and was then deployed to the Atlantic on HMS Boadicea where his job was to monitor the radar, a recent development at the time. He once reported an echo from dead-ahead and informed the Captain who took no action. The echo got stronger, & he reported it again, the Captain ordered a change of course, & just missed colliding with a destroyer! The Captain commended Arthur & let him train to be an Officer. After training, Arthur Harris was appointed as a Gunnery Officer on HMS Winchester, a former WW1 destroyer, protecting the convoys on passage along the East Coast. He claimed to have only encountered the enemy once, an E-Boat, but it disappeared before anything happened. During the build-up to D-Day, Arthur had a job at Whale Island which involved sending items to ships in the invasion fleet. He was eventually deployed on HMS Cheviot to join the war in the Far East. Although once the ship had reached the Mediterranean, the war had ended."
