 * Comment: I would agree that he is not a notable soldier, as he never served in the British Army. With regard to his service in the Royal Navy, there is the significance that he was balloted for the Victoria Cross, as a consequence of participating in the Zeebrugge Raid as the 2IC of "D" Company. The Zeebrugge Raid was a precursor to the commando raids of WW2, and the action is held in high esteem by the Royal Navy. He was mentioned in despatches by Admiral Jellicoe for his participation in the Battle of Jutland. Keith H99 (talk) 15:34, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
