The following promotion has been made, to date the 23rd April, 1918:

Cdr. (act. Capt) Alfred Francis Blakeney Carpenter, R.N., to be Capt.

Other special promotions and notations for early promotion were announced in the London Gazette of the 21st May, 1918. Statements of the services of the officers concerned are as follows:

Cdr. Ralph S. Sneyd, D.S.O., R.N. This officer commanded the "Thetis," and was the senior officer and leader of the three Zeebrugge Blockships. "Thetis" forced her way through the net obstruction protecting the inner harbour, by which both her engines were brought up. Her way carried her to the west side of the Channel, where she settled on the bottom in a sinking condition, due to the enemy's fire. Commander Sneyd, seeing it was impossible to take the ship further, blew the charges to make salvage of the vessel impracticable. In this position, while still under heavy fire, and himself wounded, he gave valuable directions which ensured "Intrepid" and "Iphigenia" taking up the positions in which they were ordered to be sunk, and did not abandon his own ship until he was satisfied that he could be of no further assistance in attaining the objective.

 

Lieut.-Cdr. Robert R. Rosoman, R.N. Was First Lieutenant of "Vindictive," and, in the absence of his Captain, who was employed on the Vice-Admiral's Staff, at Dover, was mainly responsible for the very complete preparation of the ship for the special service required. He set a magnificent example during the action, and refused to leave the conning position during the return voyage, though shot through both legs.

 

Lieut.-Cdr. Hiibert E. Gore-Langton, R.N. Was in command of "Phoebe." When "North Star" was disabled, he handled his vessel with conspicuous gallantry under heavy fire. He repeatedly circled round "North Star" making smoke screens, and under their cover he towed her out of action. The hawser being shot away, he stood by "North Star" and took off all the survivors.

 

Lieut.-Cdr. Henry N. M. Hardy, D.S.O., R.N. Was in command of "Sirius." Although the ship did not actually reach her objective, she stood in to the shore in the face of tremendous fire from the batteries, the wind having shifted and driven back the smoke screen at a critical moment. After the ship had been sunk and abandoned, he returned to look for the engineer officer, who was thought to have been left behind. He at once volunteered on hearing that  another operation was in contemplation.

 

Lieut.-Cdr. Friancis H. Sandford, D.S.O., R.N. This officer's staff work in the preparation of the demolition arrangements generally, and in the fitting out of submarines particularly was invaluable. He carried out the rescue of the crew of submarine C.3., by means of a service picket boat, in which, he covered 170 miles during the voyage to and from the Belgian coast.

 

Lieut.-Cdr. Bryan F. Adams, R.N. Was in command of "A" Company of the Grand Fleet storming parties. Was amongst the first to land on the mole, and remained there the whole time, behaving with great coolness and bravery. He was the senior surviving officer of the Grand Fleet contingent at Zeebrugge, consisting of 10 officers of whom 5 were killed and 2 wounded.

 

Sub-Lieut. Felix E. Chevallier, R.N. Was in command of Nos. 1 and 3 parties of demolition party in ''Daffodil.'' He proceeded with great bravery and determination over the bows of "Daffodil," as the duties of that vessel prevented her going alongside the "Vindictive" as intended.

 

Sub-Lieut. Dudley A. Babb, R.N. Navigating officer of "Intrepid." By his bravery and cheerfulness throughout the action set a fine example to his men.

 

Sub-Lieut. Angus H. Maclachlan, R.N. ("Brilliant").  Showed great coolness throughout the operation, and set a fine example to his men by his bravery under heavy fire. He at once volunteered on hearing that another operation was in contemplation.

 

Gnr. John H. Cobby, R.N. ("Vindictive"). Was employed in the most exposed positions, assisting in placing brows and mole anchors, disembarking and re-embarking storming parties, securing "Daffodil" in place, and carrying the wounded below. Displayed throughout an entire disregard of personal danger and high qualities of initiative and resource.

 

Eng. Lieut.-Cdr. William A. Bury, R.N. ("Vindictive"). During the preparation of the expedition this officer worked with untiring energy and exceptional ability, not only in his own department, but in every possible way in which he could assist other departments in furthering the general interests of the enterprise. When "Vindictive" was alongside the mole, he displayed great bravery in helping to bring in the wounded, and in generally assisting the medical staff.

 

Ch. Art. Engr. Frederick Steed, R.N. ("Phoebe"). Remained in the engine room during the whole of the operation, rendering great assistance by the prompt way in which he obeyed all orders from the bridge. Set a very good example to his men below by his bravery and devotion to duty in a position of considerable danger under heavy fire.

 

Eng. Sub-Lieut. Edgar V. Meikle, R.N. ("Intrepid"). Rendered invaluable services throughout the preparation for and during the operation. It became necessary to blow the sinking charges before he could get out of the engine room. He displayed the most admirable spirit throughout.

 

Art. Eng. Percy R. Brooker, R.N. ("North Star"). Behaved splendidly when his ship was hit in the engine room and boiler room, all the boilers being put out of action and the engine room wrecked. He endeavoured with great courage to repair the damage, working in a thick and suffocating smoke, under very difficult conditions, until the ship was sinking under his feet, and had to be abandoned.

 

Staff-Surg. James McCutcheon, M.B., B.A., R.N. ("Vindictive"). Was the Senior Medical Officer of the force. It would be difficult to exaggerate the splendid qualities displayed by this officer. He organised the medical arrangements excellently, and imbued his subordinates with a fine spirit, and by his own personal skill and attention contributed to the saving of the lives of many gallant officers and men.

 

Surg. Henry St. C. Colson, M.B., R.N. Was attached to the R.M. storming party. Worked for many hours under the greatest disadvantages in gas fumes and by the light of a torch only with the utmost devotion to duty.

 

Maj. Bernard G. Weller, D.S.C., R.M.L.I. Did invaluable work in the training of personnel and preparation of material for the R.M. storming party. The Lieutenant-Colonel and Second-in-Command of the party having been killed before landing, the command devolved on Major Weller, who directed the landing on the mole and the reembarkation in a very gallant manner.

Cdr. Ion H. Benn, D.S.O., M.P., R.N.V.R. The Senior Officer in the R.N.V.R. in the Dover Patrol. By his energy and fine spirit he inspired the officers and men of the Motor Launches with devotion to duty and readiness for self-sacrifice. During the engagement he was in Motor Launch 582, in one of the most inshore berths, and went alongside "Brilliant" under very heavy fire, after she had grounded.

 

Act. Lieut.-Cdr. William W. Watson, R.N.V.R. (Motor Launch 105). Led the Eastern Division of Motor Launches at Ostend, and it was largely due to his good judgment and initiative that the smoke screen was so successful.

 

Act. Lieut.-Cdr. Lionel S. Chappell, D.S.C., R.N.V.R. (Motor Launch 558). Showed great coolness and good judgment under heavy fire. His Motor Launch was damaged by shell fire in screening "Iris II." by smoke screen in the retirement.

Lieut. Raphael Saunders, R.N.V.R. (Motor Launch 128). Volunteered for rescue work, but owing to a breakdown in his engines, did not arrive in time. He, however, went in and took off the crew of Motor Launch 424, when that vessel was sinking, under heavy fire.

Honours for Services in White Sea Operations, 1918.

    

Modyugski Island, at the sea end of the channels leading to Archangel, was captured on 1st August, 1918, after the batteries had been silenced by the Allied warships, and the town of Archangel was occupied on the 2nd August, the Bolshevik Forces being quickly and efficiently overcome and driven out of the vicinity.

 

Following these operations, a River Expeditionary Force was organised with local craft, armed and manned by Allied crews, and this expedition succeeded, in co-operation with the military forces, in clearing the River Dwina and the River Vaga of hostile craft up to the time when Allied ships had to be withdrawn to avoid the ice, several of the principal enemy vessels being destroyed.
