Tyrwhitt as a Rear-Admiral
© National Portrait Gallery, London.

Admiral of the Fleet SIR Reginald Yorke Tyrwhitt, First Baronet, G.C.B., D.S.O., D.C.L., Royal Navy (10 May, 1870 – 30 May, 1951) was an officer of the Royal Navy during the First World War.

Early Life & Career

He was educated for a year at Burney's at Gosport, and passed into the Britannia on his second attempt, thirty-third out of thirty-four.[1]

He was confirmed in the rank of Sub-Lieutenant dated 14 March, 1890.[2]

He was appointed to the first class protected cruiser Blake on 2 February, 1892,[3] but was appointed to Pilot on 25 March.[4]

On 1 July, 1892, he was appointed to the royal yacht Victoria and Albert II along with David Beatty.[5]

Tyrwhitt was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 25 August, 1892.[6] and was appointed to Cleopatra on 21 September, 1892.[7]

He was promoted to the rank of Commander dated 1 January, 1903.[8] On 24 February he married Sarah Angela Mary Margaret, daughter of Matthew Corbally, J.P., of Rathbeale Hall, Swords, County Dublin; they had one son and two daughters.

In 1904, Tyrwhitt was informed that he had misinterpreted regulations and that this had precipitated, in part, a collision between Arun and T.B. 87, but that no blame was to be attached to him.[9] However, on 13 August, 1904, Arun again collided, this time sinking the destroyer Decoy during night exercises off the Scilly Islands, killing one of Decoy's crew in the process. A Court Martial found that Tyrwhitt had hazarded the two vessels and he was reprimanded in the affair.[10][11]

On 30 June, 1908, Tyrwhitt was promoted to the rank of Captain.[12]

He was placed in command of Topaze as Captain (D) of the Fourth Destroyer Flotilla on 10 August, 1909. Superseded in her on 5 August, 1910, he took a Signal Course and then was appointed in command of Bacchante as Flag Captain in the Mediterranean on 26 September, 1910. He would stay there until 27 February, 1912.[13]

Directly from Bacchante, he was appointed as Flag Captain for Sixth Cruiser Squadron in Good Hope, ending on 10 August, 1912, when he became Captain (D) of Second Destroyer Flotilla, flying his flag in Bellona.[14]

On 1 December, 1913 Tyrwhitt succeeded Commodore Lambert as Captain (T) in command of the destroyer flotillas of the First Fleet, taking command of the third class protected cruiser Amethyst.[15]

On 28 April, 1914 he was appointed Commodore, Second Class.[16]

Great War

In August 1914, Tyrwhitt was placed in command of the light cruiser Arethusa.

In the April Supplement to the Monthly Navy List, Tyrwhitt's command is described for the first time as the "Harwich Striking Force,"[17] composed of the Third and Tenth Destroyer Flotillas and the Eighth Submarine Flotilla. In May he was assigned two completing light cruisers, which with the two under his authority would give him the command of the Fifth Light Cruiser Squadron.[18]

He was appointed a Companion of the Distinguished Service Order (D.S.O.) on 3 June, 1916.[19]

On 15 July, 1917, Tyrwhitt was appointed an Additional Member of the Second Class, or Knight Commander, in the Order of the Bath (K.C.B.).[20] He was not, as Temple Patterson claims, only the second Post Captain to receive this accolade and the first in seventy-eight years.[21] Two recent examples had been the knighting of Captain Robert Molyneux in 1885 and Captain Colin Keppel in 1908.

On 8 January, 1918, Tyrwhitt was appointed Acting Rear-Admiral.[22]

Post-War & Retirement

On 5 July, 1919, Tyrwhitt was appointed Senior Officer, Gibraltar, taking command on the 10th.[23]

On 2 December, 1919 Tyrwhitt was confirmed in the rank of Rear-Admiral, vice Heaton-Ellis.[24] He was given the baronetcy of Terschelling and of the City of Oxford on 13 December, 1919, and received a grant from Parliament of £10,000 (over £180,000 in early-2000s terms).[25] He received many foreign decorations and an honorary degree of D.C.L. from Oxford (1919).

Tyrwhitt was promoted to the rank of Vice-Admiral on 18 January, 1925, vice Pelly.[26]

Tyrwhitt was promoted to the rank of Admiral on 27 February, 1929, vice Webb.[27]

He was promoted to the rank of Admiral of the Fleet on 31 July, 1934, vice Brock.[28]

He was placed on the Retired List on 31 July, 1939.[29]

As the result of the King approving that Admirals of the Fleet should in future be borne on the Active List of the Royal Navy for life, on 4 March, 1940, Tyrwhitt was replaced on the Active List with seniority of 31 July, 1934.[30]

Tyrwhitt died at Ellenden, Sandhurst, Kent, on 30 May, 1951, from perforation of the duodenum causing peritonitis.

Tyrwhitt's papers were last known to be in the possession of his son's widow, Lady Nancy Agnew, who died in 2010.
