Life & Career

Acheson was granted the probationary rank of Lieutenant on 31 October, 1895 and was confirmed in the rank on 7 June, 1897. He would suffer apoplexy some time around 1898.[1]

Acheson was placed on the Retired List on account of age on 2 May, 1907, seemingly at the rank of Commander. In April and May 1910, he brushed up in torpedoes and gunnery at Vernon and Excellent.[2]

He was called up on 1 August, 1914 and fulfilled a variety of Transport Officer duties during the war in the rank of retired Commander.[3]
