Commander (retired) Hugh William Innes-Lillingston, (16 August, 1878 – 23 September, 1952) served in the Royal Navy.

Life & Career

The son of Lieutenant Innes Lillingston may have resided in Taunton before joining the Navy.

Innes-Lillingston was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 30 June, 1901.[1]

A 1904 collision between T.B. 82 and T.B. 86 aroused the Admiralty's severe displeasure toward the young Lieutenant.

Innes-Lillingston was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Commander on 30 June, 1909.[2]

In 1908, he underwent treatment for gonorrhea and severe indigestion.[3]

Innes-Lillingston was placed on the Retired List at his own request on 17 February, 1910.[4]

In 1915, Innes-Lillingston received expressions of appreciation from the Admiralty for unloading a ship at Ascension and for erecting a W/T station there.[5] Curiously, this appointment seemed to occur immediately after, rather than before, the Battle of the Falkland Islands, an operation that might well have benefited from such support.

Innes-Lillingston was promoted to the rank of Commander on 16 August, 1918.[6]
