Gordon Evelyn Elliott Gray
From The Dreadnought Project
Lieutenant Gordon Evelyn Elliott Gray, Royal Navy (19 December, 1887 – 1 November, 1914) was an officer of the Royal Navy.
One of his Service Records has his name as "Eliott", but the other has two ells and a checkmark above which I infer means that this was confirmed to be correct.
Life & Career
Gray was the youngest son of Lieutenant-Colonel M. A. Gray of Bedford.[1]
Gray was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 30 July, 1907.
Gray was appointed to the armoured cruiser H.M.S. Good Hope as assistant navigator in August, 1914. He was among those killed when the ship was lost at the Battle of Coronel on 1 November, 1914.
