Admiral Sir Edmond J. W. Slade.

Admiral SIR Edmond John Warre Slade, K.C.I.E., K.C.V.O., Royal Navy (20 March, 1859 – 20 January, 1928) was an officer of the Royal Navy.

Life & Career

Slade was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant with seniority of 8 December, 1879.[1]

He was appointed to Vernon on 9 September, 1883 to qualify as a torpedo Lieutenant.[2]

On 4 July, 1888, Slade was loaned to command the first-class torpedo boat T.B. 60 for manoeuvres.[3]

A fellow officer of Slade's in Trafalgar, Lieutenant Sydney Fremantle, later recalled that, "Slade (the first lieutenant), usually known as "Nutty", was a highly accomplished officer, though he found little favour with the ship's company …"[4]

Slade was promoted to the rank of Commander on 1 January, 1894.[5]

On 31 December, 1899, Slade was promoted to the rank of Captain.[6]

On 25 April 1902, he relieved Arthur Murray Farquhar in command of the second class protected cruiser Diana, staying in her until 8 June.[7]

On the occasion of the King's visit to Malta Slade was appointed a Member of the Fourth Class of the Royal Victorian Order (M.V.O.) on 21 April, 1903.[8]

He was appointed President of the Royal Naval War College - the most junior in rank to hold that post, before being appointed Director of Naval Intelligence in 1907.

Collard Court-Martial

On 4 December, 1906 Slade was called upon to sit as a member of the Court trying Lieutenant Bernard St. G. Collard. Collard was accused of two charges, namely (1) committing an act to the prejudice of good order and naval discipline by punishing a stoker, and (2) improperly using a disciplinary order in punishing the stoker.

The case had drawn much attention in the media of the day, due to the perceived flouting of authority by Collard, a new arrival at the Royal Naval Barracks, Portsmouth. After deliberating for the afternoon, the Court found the first charge partly proved and ordered Collard reprimanded, an insignificant sign of guilt. The second charge was dismissed, and Slade returned to Terpsichore and command of the Royal Naval War College.

He was appointed a Naval Aide-de-Camp to King Edward VII on 1 March, 1908, vice Bethell.[9]

Flag Rank

Slade was promoted to the rank of Rear-Admiral on 5 November, 1908, vice Niblett.[10] Francis C. B. Bridgeman told Herbert G. King-Hall, who then told his brother George F. King-Hall, that Slade was being sent to the East Indies to get him out of the Admiralty.[11] He relieved Sir George Warrender as Commander-in-Chief on the East Indies Station on 17 April, 1909.[12] He was appointed a Knight Commander of the Most Eminent Order of the Indian Empire (K.C.I.E.) on 2 January, 1911.[13] He was appointed a Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (K.C.V.O.) on 12 December.[14]

Slade was promoted to the rank of Vice-Admiral on 25 April, 1914.[15]

He was promoted to the rank of Admiral on 19 August, 1917, vice Lowry,[16] and was placed on the Retired List at his own request on 1 September.[17]
