Life & Career

Miles was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 15 July, 1907.[1]

On 13 December, 1913, Miles was appointed to Woolwich as torpedo officer.

Promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Commander on 15 July, 1915, on 22 December he was appointed to Fearless to serve as torpedo officer for the First Destroyer Flotilla. On 4 April, 1916 he married Marjorie Gertrude Sellar in Surrey and he would be discharged from 1 D.F. 6 days later, to Cyclops.

On 4 April, 1932, Active and Acates collided and Their Lordships informed Miles that "he must be held very seriously to blame for a grave error of judgment."[5]
