Rear-Admiral Colin Mackenzie, C.I.E., D.S.O., Royal Navy, Retired (26 May, 1872 – 22 June, 1968) was an officer in the Royal Navy.

Life & Career

Mackenzie gained eleven months' time on passing out of Britannia in July 1887. On the 30th, he was appointed to Raleigh on the Cape of Good Hope Station.[1]

Mackenzie was appointed to Orlando on the Australia Station on 15 August, 1892. On 24 June 1893 he was tried by Court Martial for having arrived back on board drunk, having been seen by Captain St. Clair drinking at a ball on board the Austrian ship Kaiserin Elizabeth. The charge was not proved, however, and Mackenzie was acquitted.[2]

Mackenzie was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 31 December, 1893 but his promotion was cancelled due to misconduct on 11 April, 1894. Subjected to reports after six months, he seemed to have improved his outlook and was finally promoted to Lieutenant dated 30 September, 1894.[3]

On 19 November 1895 he was invalided from Malta Hospital. He was sent to Plymouth Hospital and was found fit again on 9 February, 1896.[4]

Mackenzie was promoted to the rank of Commander on 30 June, 1906.[5]

Mackenzie was appointed in command of the destroyer Nubian on 24 August, 1909.[6]

Mackenzie was promoted to the rank of Captain on 19 July, 1918.[7]

Post-War

He was appointed in command of the battleship Thunderer in late 1920.

Mackenzie was promoted to the rank of Rear-Admiral on 8 August, 1926.[8]
