Lieutenant-Commander Daniel Harvey Rainier (31 October, 1888 – ) was an officer in the Royal Navy.

Life & Career

Rainier was invalided from King Edward VII at Gibraltar on 5 November, 1906 with heat stroke.

Rainier was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 30 April, 1908. On October 1908 Rainier was reported to have creating a disturbance and having been under the influence of liquor at the Empire Music Hall in Portsmouth. This report was echoed by the town authorities. In November, Rainier failed a torpedo examination. He was to be sent to sea in Achilles for three months and reported on at the end of that time. In November, Captain Oliver vouched that Rainier's conduct was "V.G." and that he had provided valuable services on the 17th. Captain Nicholson, who had superseded Oliver in November, reported much the same in December. Rainier would have one month's time which he had been docked in October restored and pass his torpedo examination in June of 1909.[1]

In 1912 when he was serving in the battlecruiser Invincible, Rainier would successfully explain when asked to do so by Rear-Admiral Bayly that excessive wine bills were due to entertaining. Rainier was appointed as first lieutenant in the Sheldrake on 5 August, 1912. In late 1912, Rainier would be commended by Captain (D) Henderson for his services during the illness of Sheldrake's commanding officer.

Great War

Rainier remained in Sheldrake until 14 January, 1915, with

Rainier was appointed in command of the destroyer Sabrina on 9 April, 1918.[2]

Rainier was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Commander on 31 December, 1918.[3]

He was appointed in command of the destroyer Wessex on 29 July, 1920.[4]
