Order of St. Stanislas, 2nd class (with swords) (Russia) (05.06.1917).
Received a Captain's Good Service Pension, 31.08.1929, until he reached Flag
rank 15.05.1930.
* "Commander Brownrigg took charge of and conducted the operations in
connection with dealing with fires and repairs to damage by shell. He was
continually in positions of greatest danger, and where the conditions were
most trying to the nerves. His example inspired all those under him, and he
was largely instrumental in keeping the ship in effective fighting condition
to the end of the action, notwithstanding the severe damage from shell fire." |
