Admiral Walter Maurice Ellerton, C.B., Royal Navy, Retired (5 August, 1870 – 27 November, 1948) was an officer of the Royal Navy.

Life & Career

On 28 January, 1892, Ellerton was confirmed in the rank of Sub-Lieutenant, dated 14 May, 1890.[1]

Ellerton was promoted to the rank of Commander on 30 June, 1904.[2] He was appointed to the first class protected cruiser Powerful on 1 September, 1905.[3]

He was promoted to the rank of Captain on 31 December, 1910.[4]

In January 1913, he was made captain of the armoured cruiser King Alfred, which would be odd, as he was appointed Captain of the armoured cruiser Carnarvon on 28 January, 1913.[5]

He was appointed in command of the armoured cruiser Cornwall on 8 January, 1914.[6]. It would be a command he would retain through much of the war.

Great War

On the occasion of the King's birthday he was appointed an Ordinary Member of the Third Class, or Companion, in the Military Division of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath (C.B.) on 4 June, 1917.[7]

Post-War

On 1 January, 1919, Ellerton assumed the position of Director of Training and Staff Duties on the Naval Staff. He was succeeded on 1 January, 1921, by Captain Vernon H. S. Haggard.[8] On 2 July he was promoted to the rank of Rear-Admiral, vice Gurner.[9]

Ellerton was promoted to the rank of Vice-Admiral on 4 October, 1926, vice Alexander-Sinclair.[10]
