{{LCommRN}} '''Daniel Harvey Rainier''' (31 October, 1888 &ndash; ) was an officer in the [[Royal Navy]]. ==Life & Career== Rainier was invalided from {{UK-KingEdwardVII}} at Gibraltar on 5 November, 1906 with heat stroke. Rainier was promoted to the rank of {{LieutRN}} on 30 April, 1908. On October 1908 Rainier was reported to have creating a disturbance and having been under the influence of liquor at the Empire Music Hall in Portsmouth. This report was echoed by the town authorities. In November, Rainier failed a torpedo examination. He was to be sent to sea in {{UK-Achilles}} for three months and reported on at the end of that time. In November, Captain [[Henry Francis Oliver|Oliver]] vouched that Rainier's conduct was "V.G." and that he had provided valuable services on the 17th. Captain [[William Coldingham Masters Nicholson|Nicholson]], who had superseded Oliver in November, reported much the same in December. Rainier would have one month's time which he had been docked in October restored and pass his torpedo examination in June of 1909.<ref>Rainier Service Record. {{TNA|ADM 196/144/33.|D8123198}} f. 363.</ref> In 1912 when he was serving in the {{UK-Invincible|f=t}}, Rainier would successfully explain when asked to do so by Rear-Admiral [[Lewis Bayly|Bayly]] that excessive wine bills were due to entertaining.
