Life & Career

Hyde Parker attained 1,043 marks in the entrance examination. Because four candidates who had been nominated for the Navy had failed the examination, and another candidate's health precluded him from joining, cadetships were given to the five candidates who had scored the highest in the exam. Hyde Parker had placed first of the five.[1]

Hyde Parker was promoted to the rank of Rear-Admiral on 23 October, 1917, vice Tudor, promoted to Vice-Admiral.[2]
