Commander (retired) James Godfrey Wood Deneys, D.S.O., O.B.E. (30 July, 1897 – ) served in the Royal Navy.
Life & Career
Deneys was a special entry to the Training Establishment, joining R.N. College, Keyham from Haileybury in September 1915, passing out as cadet captain and number two of sixty-three overall.[1] He listed Commander R. Myburgh as his guardian. Upon passing out on 1 February 1916, he was appointed to the armoured cruiser Shannon. He served in her until being sent to Vernon for a ten-day Torpedo Control course.[2]
He then served in the destroyer Tourmaline until the end of July and then went to Dolphin for a course in submarines. On the last day of the war, he was appointed to the D 4.[3]
Deneys was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 15 February, 1919.[4]
Deneys was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Commander on 15 February, 1927.[5]
In mid-December 1936, he was treated at Haslar Hospital for a tooth disease.
On 24 March 1937, some shells from Warspite's gun trials fell near the S.S. Highland Monarch. Deneys was blamed for having allowed the ship to fire when visibility did not permit the fall of shot at extreme elevation to be observed.[6]
World War II
Deneys was placed on the Retired List on account of age at the rank of Commander on 30 July, 1942.[7]
