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 daughter writes: "HMS Wallace was Dad's first commission as 2nd Lieutenant 'officer in training' under Prince Philip, 1st Lieutenant. During night watch together Philip spoke of his fondness for Princess Elizabeth and that they corresponded. He remembers the Prince as great fun, one of the boys, particularly remembering a terrific pillow fight, feathers everywhere. Dad wrote about this to his parents. HM LCT 929: Dad 'No 1' (1st Lieutenant). Charlie Jones was Commanding Officer. HM LCT 734: Dad was Commanding Officer (Captain), his first command. Derek Rawlings was Midshipman (No 1,1st Lieutenant), Geoff White was Sub Lieutenant (3rd Officer). It ran mainly from Southampton/Poole to Normandy Beachhead. He was in command of LCT 734 from the time it was commissioned in April 1944 until 2 March 1945 when he took the ship to Boulogne, lowered the White Ensign (which I now have), raised the Tricolor and handed the ship over to the town's Mayor, Henri Henneguelle."

** His son writes: "He was initially appointed Secretary to "N.O.I.C. Tadley". Tadley was a prospective and secret operation to capture a Port my father never named, but requiring Spanish, apparently, in which, along with French, my father was fluent. This operation, headed by a Commander Ommanney, was aborted at the planning stage, and he (Ommanney) was then, briefly, NOIC for Operation Naval Glutton. This was the part of Operation Husky - the invasion of Sicily - that covered the capture, and subsequent operation of the Port of Augusta. Ommanney was replaced by Capt. E. Mount Haes."
*** His son writes: "My father was never actually based in Naples - he was in Marseilles. He went from Augusta to Naples by Liberty Ship. After a briefing at HMS Byrsa, he went by air to Marseilles, where he became Secretary to, and ran the office of Commodore Crowther, also acting as his Flag Lieutenant. Crowther was "Commodore Liaison American-British", referred to as "COMLAB". He was the Senior Naval Officer in the South of France. Additionally, my father had another role accountable direct to C in C. Med., as British Naval Supply Liaison Officer, Marseilles, and Supply Officer, South of France. Amongst his duties was running "Aide Mutuelle", the equivalent between the British and the French of "Lease-Lend" between the Americans and the British."
