Admiral Angus MacLeod, C.V.O., Royal Navy (11 June, 1847 – 29 April, 1920) was an officer of the Royal Navy.

Early Life & Career

MacLeod entered the service with the December 1860 intake term at Britannia, his examination scores ranking him twenty-second of thirty-four candidates accepted for naval cadetships.[1]

MacLeod was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 20 July, 1868.[2]

He was slightly wounded in the abdomen during an assault on Amoafal on 31 January 1874.[3]

He was promoted to the rank of Commander on 14 October, 1881.[4] On 26 March, 1883, he was appointed in command of the gun vessel Algerine. He stayed in her until being appoint to Excellent, additional, on 6 February, 1885.[5]

MacLeod was promoted to the rank of Captain on 30 June, 1888.[6]

He commissioned the third class protected cruiser Pallas on 30 June, 1891.[7]

He was appointed in command of the first class protected cruiser Gibraltar on 1 November 1894 and remained in her for a little over one year.[8]

Immediately thereafter, he was appointed in command of the battleship Empress of India on 12 December 1895,[9] and of the battleship Jupiter on 8 June, 1897.[10]

At Chatham on 27 August, 1897, a boy named Salisbury was brought before MacLeod to explain why he had been absent without leave. The young seaman flew into a passionate rage and struck MacLeod and knocked him to the deck. This indiscretion bought Salisbury some time in cells and the promise of a Court Martial.[11]

MacLeod was appointed a Naval Aide-de-Camp to Queen Victoria dated 11 July, 1899, vice Bainbridge.[12]

He was reappointed a Naval Aide-de-Camp, to King Edward VII, on 25 February, 1901.[13]

Flag Rank

MacLeod was promoted to the rank of Rear-Admiral on 11 August, 1901.[14]

He hoisted his flag as Senior Officer on the Coast of Ireland on 1 February, 1904.[15] On the occasion of the King's visit to Ireland he was appointed a Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (C.V.O.) on 5 May.[16]

He was promoted to the rank of Vice-Admiral on 4 December, 1905, vice Bosanquet.[17]

MacLeod was promoted to the rank of Admiral on 1 January, 1910, vice Henderson.[18] In accordance with the provisions of the Order in Council of 8 December, 1903, he was placed on the Retired List, at his own request, on 22 July.[19]

He died on 29 April, 1920, at 87 Victoria Street, London, aged seventy-three. His funeral took place at Brookwood Cemetery on 3 May.[20]
