Admiral SIR Alfred Leigh Winsloe, K.C.B., C.M.G., 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]
On 5 October, 1900, Winsloe was appointed Commodore, Second Class in command of the Training Squadron.[3]
Flag Rank
Winsloe hoisted his flag in command of the Home Fleet Torpedo and Submarine Flotillas on 1 February, 1905.[4] He hauled down his flag on 1 January, 1907 and was replaced by Rear-Admiral Robert A. J. Montgomerie.[5]
Winsloe was placed on the Retired List at his own request on 13 December, 1913.[6]
