From 8 February, 1907 to 8 February, 1909, Rear-Admiral Frederick S. Inglefield was in command of the squadron, flying his flag in H.M.S. Euryalus.[1] He was succeeded at Portsmouth by Rear-Admiral Arthur M. Farquhar on 8 February, 1909.[2] Rear-Admiral Edward E. Bradford was appointed in command on 8 February, 1911, and struck his flag on 8 February, 1913.[3] He was succeeded on the same day by Rear-Admiral Sir Christopher G. F. M. Cradock.[4]

Organisation

The Fourth Cruiser Squadron was counted as part of the First Fleet, despite being employed in the West Indies to protect British interests in Mexico. It was intended that it should be able to join the Commander-in-Chief for manœuvres, but it was in effect permanently detached.[5]
