Admiral Henry Loftus Tottenham, C.B., Royal Navy, Retired (7 August, 1860 – 24 February, 1950) was an officer of the Royal Navy.

Life & Career

For services rendered during the operations in Egypt, Tottenham was specially promoted to the rank of Lieutenant with seniority of 18 November, 1882.[1]

Tottenham was promoted to the rank of Commander on 30 June, 1895, aged thirty-four years, ten months, and twenty-three days.[2]

Captain

Tottenham was promoted to the rank of Captain on 1 January, 1901.[3]

In December 1903, he assumed command of the second class protected cruiser Furious.[4]

He was appointed in command of the battleship Repulse in January, 1905.[5] In March, however, he was made Captain of Lancaster.[6]

Tottenham served as captain of battleship Mars from March 1906 until July of the following year.[7]

He was appointed Captain of the Dockyard and King's Harbour Master at Portsmouth on 1 July, 1907.[8]

He served as captain of Implacable from March 1909 through May of the following year.[9]

Flag Rank

On 30 April, 1910, Tottenham was promoted to the rank of Rear-Admiral, vice Goodrich.[10]

He was appointed Rear-Admiral in the Devonport Division of the Home Fleet on 5 January, 1912, hoisting his flag in King Alfred. He struck his flag on 4 January, 1913.[11]

Tottenham 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 1 January, 1914.[12] He was considered for the position of Admiral of the Training Service in January, but the First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston Churchill, told the First Sea Lord,[13] Second Sea Lord,[14] and Naval Secretary:[15]

Upon reflection, I feel many doubts about Admiral Tottenham's personal qualifications for the command of the training service. Sympathy, broad-mindedness, and knowledge of social conditions, and other special qualities, are required for this important post, on which the happiness and well-being of thousands of boys and youths and the general system of naval training for the lower deck so largely depend. Would not Admiral Hood be a more suitable man? Admiral Tottenham, though a competent sea officer, has always seemed to me to be soured in tempter, rough in manners, and with a very limited outlook. Admiral Limpus also might be better suited to the training service, in which case Admiral Tottenham could be considered available for Turkey.[16]

In July it was announced that Tottenham would succeed Rear-Admiral Sackville H. Carden as Admiral-Superintendent of Malta Dockyard.[17]

Great War

On 1 August, 1914, Tottenham hoisted his flag in Albion as Rear-Admiral in the Seventh Battle Squadron. On 5 September he was given command of Cruiser Force E with his flag in the Sutlej. He transferred to Juno on 17 February, 1915, and to Isis on 10 March. He struck his flag on 5 April.

He was appointed to Minotaur as Rear-Admiral Commanding, Seventh Cruiser Squadron in the Grand Fleet on 6 April. His Flag Captain in Minotaur, Captain Edward B. Kiddle, later remembered Tottenham as "a sour pessimist who disliked us all and his appointment. Luckily a few months saw him promoted and he left unregretted and Rear-Admiral Heath hoisted his flag."[18] On 16 June, Jellicoe had written to the First Sea Lord, Sir Henry B. Jackson, suggesting that, "Tottenham might also be moved [from his command] when promoted."[19] He was promoted to the rank of Vice-Admiral on 24 October, 1915, vice Bush,[20] and struck his flag on 25 October.

Tottenham was placed on the Retired List on 26 October, 1918,[21] in accordance with the provisions of the Order in Council of 9 March, 1914. He was advanced to the rank of Admiral on the Retired List on 1 January, 1919.[22]
