Captain Bernard Armitage Warburton Warburton-Lee, V.C., R.N.(13 September, 1895 – 10 April, 1940) served in the Royal Navy and possessed such remarkable abilities at tennis and other sports that they are often mentioned in his service records.
He added the hyphen in his name on 25 November, 1919.
Warburton-Lee was killed in action in the First Battle of Narvik, being awarded the Victoria Cross for his bold leadership in the battle.
Life & Career
Lee's first naval appointment was to Hyacinth as a Midshipman on 15 January, 1913. He was promoted to the rank of Acting Sub-Lieutenant on 15 January, 1915 and to Sub-Lieutenant on 15 July, on both occasions being re-appointed in Hyacinth. He quit the ship on 31 July, 1915 and took an appointment in the destroyer Cherwell on 15 September.[1]
Lee left Cherwell on 3 January, 1916 and the next day received an appointment in the more modern destroyer Mameluke.
Lee was promoted to the rank of Acting Lieutenant on 15 January, 1917, and to Lieutenant on 15 April.[2]
Lee left Mameluke when he was appointed to the Mischief on 21 April, 1917. He went over to Wrestler on 16 April, 1918. Lee was mentioned in despatches for his services in Grand Fleet destroyers in the first half of 1918. However, in November, 1918, a Court of Enquiry found him at fault in a collision between Conqueror and his command, Wrestler. Lee had not been keeping a good lookout and was cautioned to be more careful in future.[3]
Post-War
Warburton-Lee did not leave Wrestler until 12 April, 1921 and proceeded to take a series of Gunnery courses, intersperse with some unpaid time.
He married on 9 October, 1924 and was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Commander on 15 January, 1925.[4]
