Cyril Francis Carpmael
Commander Cyril Francis Carpmael, (20 April, 1899 – 25 November, 1922) served in the Royal Navy.
Life & Career
Carpmael was appointed to the Vanguard on X and was fortunate to survive her destruction on 9 July, 1917, having been one of sixteen of her crew to visit Royal Oak for an evening of entertainment. This made him one of approximately twenty-four of her men who escaped with their lives.[1]
He was logged for direct disobedience and exceeding his wine bill aboard Southampton.
Carpmael was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 15 January, 1920.
In Comus he assaulted a native policeman and damaged police "fittings", for which he was tried by Court Martial. He resigned the service on 8 March 1922 and died later that year of a "long illness contracted on active service".[2]
