Revision as of 16:04, 23 November 2016
Captain (retired) Edward Miller Corrie Rutherfoord, D.S.O. (27 December, 1879 – 10 February, 1935) was an officer in the Royal Navy.
His last name appears as "Rutherford" in some Navy Lists, but a quick check of a few makes me think the double o is the actual spelling.
Life & Career
Rutherfoord was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 31 December, 1901.[1]
Rutherfoord was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Commander on 31 December, 1904.[2]
Great War
Rutherfoord was in command of the "S" Class destroyer Speedy at the start of the war, having been appointed in command on 4 March, 1914. She was lost under his command to a mine on 3 September, 1914. Archly, Rutherfoord was then placed in command of Mine Sweeping Trawlers on 8 September. He worked in this capacity until he was appointed in command of the destroyer Falcon on 31 October, 1914.[3]
Rutherfoord was promoted to the rank of Commander on 31 December, 1914.[4]
He was appointed in command of the destroyer Talisman on 19 November, 1917.[5]
Rutherfoord impressed the Admiralty with his judgment and prompt action in an attack on an enemy submarine on 19 September, 1918.[6]
Post-War
Rutherfoord's command in Talisman ended on 20 March, 1919 when he was appointed in command of the destroyer Paladin.
On 5 November, 1919, he was appointed to Hecla for a group of T.B.Ds. under a Care and Maintenance Party. From there, he was appointed temporarily in command of the flotilla leader Abdiel on 11 December, 1919.
Rutherfoord was placed on the Retired List at his own request on 24 March, 1920 shortly after receiving an unfavourable assessment from Captain (D) Grant-Dalton of the Nore Reserve Flotilla which said, "Not recommended. I have personally but little knowledge of this officer. But many [illeg] have reached me of a nature that are generally to his discredit. Rutherfoord apparently travelled to Brazil following his retirement. He was subsequently promoted to the rank of Captain on 27 December, 1924.[7]
