Life & Career

During the war, Attwood served as torpedo officer in Crescent and Prince of Wales. On 30 August, 1916, he went to Vernon for a Whitehead Course. He remained in that appointment until being chosen as torpedo officer in Valiant on 16 May, 1917, which seems to suggest he was perhaps instructing the course.[2]
