Royal Navy (RN) Officers
1939-1945

 

Looking for details on a RN 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. Abbreviations and explanations can be found at the help page.

Son of George Montague Marriott, and Madge Irene Vickery.
Married (1948) Francis Jill Davis, a retired Leading WREN (died 08.05.2009); two sons (Maj. (Retd) Simon Montague Marriott WB, late 17th/21st Lancers & Brig. Patrick Claude Marriott CBE, late The Queen's Royal Lancers)

His son remembers: "As the only allied officer to 'command a U Boat' he was in 1945 much in demand and served out of ROTHESAY in Scotland dealing with OP DEADLIGHT, the surrender of the German U Boats. He commanded U776 on a mission to London to show the people of London a U Boat. She spent a few weeks tied up near the Houses of Parliament and was visited by VIPs and the public in vast numbers - an event designed to boost morale. It was very well covered by the media."

* When his ship, HMS Greyhound, was bombed and sunk, Commander Marshall-A'Deane was among the survivors picked up by HMS Kandahar. Later in the day HMS Fiji was sunk and HMS Kandahar again went to the rescue. Commander Marshall-A'Deane, despite the ordeal he had already been through that day, dived overboard in the gathering darkness to rescue the men in the water. He was not seen again. This was the last proof of his great gallantry. Commander Marshall-A'Deane had already in this war been appointed Companion of the Distinguished Service Order, won the Distinguished Service Cross, and twice been mentioned in Despatches.

AM (GC) 11.11.1929 explosion aboard HMS Devonshire 07.1929 *
* HMS Devonshire was carrying out full calibre firing on 26th July 1929 when, at the first salvo there was a heavy explosion which blew off the roof of one of the turrets. Lieutenant-Commander Maxwell Hyslop was in the fore control when the explosion occurred, and immediately proceeded to the turret and climbed inside. He made a general examination of the turret, and descended the gun well through most dangerous conditions of fumes and smoke, necessitating the use of a life line, remaining in the turret until the emergency was over, directing arrangements for the safety of the magazine, and supervising the evacuation of the wounded. He was fully aware of the danger to himself from the results of cordite fumes, and the grave risk of further explosions. At the time this officer entered the turret the fire produced by the explosion was still burning and it was impossible to estimate the real state of affairs due to the heavy smoke. He was fully aware that there were other cordite charges in the hoist and handling room below which might ignite at any moment with almost certain fatal results to himself, and he deliberately endangered his own life to save the lives of others.

saving life Benghazi harbour 03.01.1943 *
* Mr. McCarthy dived into a tempestuous sea from the Mole at Benghazi to save some Indian seamen who had been thrown into the sea from a raft. When a line was thrown he swam with it to the Indians, caught hold of one of them and successfully brought him ashore. He then returned to the rescue of another. There was grave danger that Mr. McCarthy would be dashed against the rocks by the gale and the high sea.
