Savage was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant R.N.R. on 4 August, 1917.[3]
Seagull was lost on 30 September 1918. A Coiurt of Enquiry would find him to blame in the affair.[4]
He would then be placed in command of Banchory. Once again, Savage was faulted for damaging the vessel as she navigated near foul ground at night.[5]
