Bertrand Bannerman
Commander Bertrand Bannerman, D.S.O., R.N. (21 October, 1883 – ) served in the Royal Navy.
Life & Career
Bannerman was reported to be "not always temperate" (though apparently only when ashore) in February of 1906 and was to be specially reported on in six months time. Nonetheless, he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 1 April, 1906. In May, it was reported that he had deficient sights (whether this is a reference to gunsights or eyesight is unclear), but by July 11906, it was reported that "sights correct".
In January, 1908, the Inspecting Captain of Submarines Hall reported that Bannerman was "unsatisfy. as to sobriety & genl. conduct" and ordered that he be removed from submarine service "with great regret." Bannerman was appointed to Swiftsure on 11 February. Several reports reiterated that he'd perform best in larger ships.
Bannerman was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Commander on 1 April, 1914.[1]
Bannerman was appointed in command of the first-class torpedo boat T.B. 13 in August, 1914.[2]
On 5 May, 1915, Bannerman was appointed to the armoured cruiser Duke of Edinburgh.[3]
On 8 July, 1916, he was appointed as captain of the torpedo gunboat Halcyon.[4]
Bannerman was promoted to the rank of Commander on 30 June, 1920.
