Alfred Leigh Winsloe
From The Dreadnought Project
Admiral SIR Alfred Leigh Winsloe, K.C.B., C.V.O., Royal Navy (25 April, 1852 – 16 February, 1931) was an officer of the Royal Navy.
Court-Martial Duty
Colomb reported that Winsloe was under the impression during the court-martial that people in Valletta had crossed the street in order to avoid him.[1] By his own account he was "quite played out" after "such an unpleasant duty" and [rather presumptuously] felt that he deserved to be given command of a second-class cruiser.[2]
Winsloe hoisted his flag in command of the Home Fleet Torpedo and Submarine Flotillas on 1 February, 1905.[3]
