Captain (retired) Thomas Hudson Foster, (31 December, 1867 – 21 July, 1950) served in the Royal Navy.
Life & Career
The son of Sir Wm. Foster, Bt..[1]
Foster was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 1 April, 1896.[2]
On 30 January 1901, while Foster was serving in the battleship Resolution, the Commander-in-Chief, Portsmouth was informed that Foster had committed an error in judgement which resulted in the death of an A.B.. He was cautioned to be more careful in future. After almost three years in Resolution, Foster was appointed to Formidable in September 1901, where he would remain until 1 January, 1904, being promoted to the rank of Commander on 31 December, 1903. He was sent to Chatham Hospital, suffering from acute mania in November 1904. While his diagnosis would vary slightly over an extended period, his mental state would soon prove too [3]
In between sporadic hospitalisations, Foster served in Aboukir and Africa before ultimately being placed on the Retired List as unfit with the rank of Captain on 24 July, 1907. He would serve in the Trade Division through most of the war, and reverted to the Retired List as unfit on 4 January, 1918.[4]
