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.

WW II			serving on a minesweeper & hospital ship (Singapore; wounded):

Radiotherapy Department, Allan Blair Memorial Clinic, Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, 1960s.
As son writes: "That he initially served on a minesweeper accords with what he told me, but he also served on HMS Prince of Wales in 1941, including the battle with the KMS Bismarck and KMS Prinz Eugen. It was upon HMS Prince of Wales's arrival at Colombo on 28 November, 1941, that he was transferred to the hospital ship HMS Cap St. Jacques. It's my understanding he stayed with that ship until it was damaged while entering Durban harbour on it's homeward voyage. (He told me they hit an unmarked reef or wreck). He retained his commission into at least the 1960's."
