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.

* Part of the citation read: "His aggressive spirit was a fine example to all Commanding Officers of Coastal Force Craft, and is in the finest traditions of the service."
** The citation read: "His first task was to get his ship into reliable running order… a series of serious mechanical breakdowns had undermined the morale of her crew…under Lt Marshall’s direction the ship rapidly became operational. After accompanying two operations as an observer…Lt Marshall embarked on a series of 12 faultlessly executed expeditions. Four of these operations were to parts of the North French coast not previously visited; Lt Marshall displayed outstanding skill in locating accurately these new pinpoints, entering narrow rock strewn channels without hesitation. On one occasion he pressed on and completed an operation of great importance in a North-Easterly gale gusting to force 8, under conditions which would have made a less determined officer give up long before reaching the French coast. MGB 503 embarked 100 Allied airmen from a beach in enemy occupied France between January and March 1944. The procedure involved lying at anchor within a mile of enemy watchposts for between two and four hours at a time. The standard of efficiency to which Lt Marshall had trained his surf boats’ crews needs no emphasis in view of these figures. By skilful tactics and cool and correct judgment, Lt Marshall avoided detection by enemy sea patrols and convoys indicated by radar and visually on a number of occasions. His high qualities of leadership and seamanship are worthy of recognition."

(11.1940)			HMS Talisman (submarine)

Adventurer, intelligence officer, and author. Minshall was well known for his travels, which included a two-year sailing trip on various bodies of water throughout Europe and a trek across the Sahara desert in a three-wheeled light truck, and he is thought to be one of the men on whom author Ian Fleming based his notorious spy character, James Bond. Prior to World War II Minshall served as a sub-lieutenant for the British Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve, and during the war he worked for Great Britain's Special Operations Executive. His first mission (1940) was to Romania where he was disguised as the British Vice Consul in Bucharest on a mission to blow up some tankers in an attempt to block the Danube (unsuccessful as it turned out because the Germans were 'tipped off'). Among his intelligence assignments was the control of operation "Shamrock", in which he led a small group of Frenchmen to the Gironde Estuary on the west coast of France where they studied the movements of German submarines. After organizing special naval intelligence in New Zealand, Minshall was promoted to commander and sent in 1943 to establish a naval liaison between Great Britain and Yugoslavia. Minshall recorded his wartime adventures in his autobiography, Guilt-edged (1975).
