"A New K.C.S.I.
Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Carter Drury, Commander-in-Chief, East Indies.
<br.The inclusion of the Commander-in-Chief of the East Indies Squadron in the list of Coronation Durbar Honours was an appropriatae recognition of the Naval Service, rendered all the happier by the selection of the Knighthood of the Star of India as the distinction to be conferred. Sir Charles Drury, the only flag officer who belongs to that distinguished Order, was born in Canada in 1846, and entered the Royal Navy in 1859. After a varied career he became Rear-Admiral in 1899, having previously been A.D.C. to the Queen since 1897; in 1900 he was appointed Vice-President of the Ordnance Committee; and in 1902 he succeeded Rear-Admiral Bosanquet in his present post."
