Lieutenant William Stanley Lambert (14 October, 1869 – ) served in the Royal Navy.
Life & Career
Lambert spoke French and some Spanish.
Lambert was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 1 April, 1892.[1]
Lambert was appointed to the "A" Class destroyer Boxer on 18 August, 1896 in lieu of a sub-lieutenant. He was appointed in command of the ship some time thereafter.
Although nothing too bad had been noted for him previously, it seems that Lambert's naval career prospects might have soured when Captain Prothero wrote of his work in Boxer in February, 1898, "I don't look upon this officer as possessing any brilliant qualities." But, far worse than this, on 20 January, 1898, Lambert was superseded in Boxer for "having had a fit." It seems this may have been not merely a temperamental sort of event, but psychological or medical, as medical reports were to be sent. He was appointed to the second class battleship Barfleur, where he would spend just over one year.[2]
In May, 1900, Lambert asked to resign his commission. This was granted him on 8 May, 1900.[3]
