{{CaptRN}} '''Hugh Trevor Prichard''' (13 March, 1877 &ndash; ) was an officer in the [[Royal Navy]]. ==Life & Career== Prichard gained six months' time on passing out of {{UK-1Britannia}} and being appointed to {{UK-Hawke}}, in the Mediterranean, in August, 1893. He was invalided from her with fever on 12 October 1895. He was not fit until 2 March, 1896. he was immediately appointed back to the Mediterranean, this time in the {{UK-1RoyalSovereign|f=t}}. After a brief period in a training brig, Prichard found himself back in ''Royal Sovereign'', but this time in the [[Channel Squadron]].<ref>Prichard Service Record. {{TNA|ADM 196/44/356.|D7603140}} f. 401.</ref> Prichard was promoted to the rank of {{LieutRN}} on 30 June, 1900. He spent the next five years serving in a variety of appointments predominately in cruisers before receiving his first sea-going command appointment as captain of the {{UK-1Snapper|f=t}}, on 14 August, 1905.<ref>Prichard Service Record. {{TNA|ADM 196/44/356.|D7603140}} f. 401.</ref> In December, 1907, Prichard was reprimanded by the Commander-in-Chief, Portsmouth for his manner in dealing with a customs official, and for failing to see that Regulations were abided by in his handling of passes.<ref>Prichard Service Record. {{TNA|ADM 196/44/356.|D7603140}} f. 401.</ref> On 12 May 1908, he was approved to return to England for 30 days full pay leave to attend to private affairs. On 5 July, he was placed in temporary command of {{UK-2Orion}}, which was then a depot ship for torpedo boats at Malta during the absence of Commander (D) [[Henry FitzRoy George Talbot]].<ref>Prichard Service Record. {{TNA|ADM 196/44/356.|D7603140}} f. 401.</ref> Prichard was promoted to the rank of {{CommRN}} on 31 December, 1912 while in the midst of three year appointment to the Pembroke Royal Naval Barracks.<ref>Prichard Service Record. {{TNA|ADM 196/44/356.|D7603140}} f. 401.</ref> After spending a year in the {{UK-Implacable|f=t}} of the [[Second Fleet]], Prichard was appointed in command of the {{UK-Thrasher|f=t}} on 23 January, 1914.<ref>Prichard Service Record. {{TNA|ADM 196/44/356.|D7603140}} f. 401.</ref> ==Great War== Prichard commanded ''Thrasher'' until October 1914, when he was placed in command of the {{UK-Griffon|f=t}}.<ref>Prichard Service Record. {{TNA|ADM 196/44/356.|D7603140}} f. 401.</ref> An appointment in command of the {{UK-Osprey|f=t}} in February, 1914 was not carried out, and Prichard remained in command of {{UK-Griffon}} until being appointed in command to {{UK-1Kempenfelt}} on 16 June, 1915, to take command upon her commissioning. He was to command {{UK-Swift}} upon handing ''Kempenfelt'' over to [[Walter Lingen Allen]] in August, 1915, but this was altered to the {{UK-Oak}} and then to {{UK-Marmion}}. Prichard likely went directly from ''Kempenfelt'' to ''Marmion''. Before August was out, however, Prichard transferred to {{UK-1Comet}}.<ref>Prichard Service Record. {{TNA|ADM 196/44/356.|D7603140}} f. 401.</ref> In November 1915, Prichard moved from command of ''Comet'' to {{UK-Minstrel}}. He was superseded by [[John Lanison Field]] just eleven days later, having come down with gastroenteritis.<ref>Prichard Service Record. {{TNA|ADM 196/44/356.|D7603140}} f. 401.</ref> On 10 February, Prichard was deemed fit for shore service only. On 23 March, 1916 this restriction was removed as he had been found generally fit. On 29 March, he was appointed in command of {{UK-Cameleon}}. On 20 October, Prichard was in the sick quarters at Bereshaven. Further service in destroyers was deemed inadvisable on account of his health. On 1 November 1916, Prichard left ''Cameleon''. Initially, he was to go to {{UK-Devonshire|f=p}}, but this was altered to an appointment at the Royal Naval Barracks, Portsmouth. He would serve there through the end of the war. ==Post-War== Prichard was promoted to the rank of {{CaptRN}} on 31 December, 1918.<ref>Prichard Service Record. {{TNA|ADM 196/44/356.|D7603140}} f. 401.</ref> Following some appointments in command of {{UK-Lightfoot}} and {{UK-Abdiel}} and as Assistant Captain (D) of the Nore Reserve Flotilla, Prichard took a Senior Officers' Technical Course and a Senior Officers' War Course before being placed on the Retired List at his own request on 1 June, 1922.<ref>Prichard Service Record. {{TNA|ADM 196/44/356.|D7603140}} f. 401.</ref> ==See Also== {{refbegin}} * [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/results/r?_rv=simple&_q=ADM+Hugh+Trevor+Prichard Service Records] {{WP|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Trevor_Prichard}} {{refend}} <div name=fredbot:appts>{{TabApptsBegin}} {{TabNaval}} {{TabApptsRow|Preceded by<br>'''[[Reginald Charles Lloyd Owen|Reginald C.
