Reginald Harry Bunyard
Commander (retired) Reginald Harry Bunyard (2 August, 1883 – ) was an officer in the Royal Navy. One Service Record, at least, records his middle name as "Henry".
Life & Career
Born in East Dulwich, London.
Bunyard was promoted to the rank of Gunner on 14 May, 1910 and to Acting Mate on 18 December, 1913, taking first-class qualifications in gunnery and torpedoes.[1]
He served in Flirt from the outbreak of war until falling ill on 23 March, 1915. At the end of the month, he was placed in the Amazon.[2]
Bunyard was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 18 December, 1915.[3]
Bunyard was appointed Lieutenant in Command of the patrol boat P47, then attached to {UK-Vernon|f=p}} in March, 1920.[4]
Bunyard was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Commander on 18 December, 1923.[5]
In 1927, he injured his right femur. This seems to have been the consequence of an accident which occurred while Bunyard was under "the influence of drink", which was not characteristic of his service.[6]
He was placed on the Retired List on account of age with the rank of Commander on 2 August, 1928.[7]
World War II
He was judged unfit for naval service on 10 July 1939.
