Early Life & Career

Bosanquet was appointed to the Bristol again on 26 January, 1871.[1] A Midshipman, Seymour Fortescue, later wrote of him: "He was a thoroughly good fellow and a gentleman, to begin with, and a first-rate seaman and disciplinarian to go on with, and though he kept us all in terrific order he was none the less very popular."[2]

Bosanquet was promoted to the rank of Captain on 30 June, 1882.[3]

Bosanquet was promoted to the rank of Rear-Admiral on 10 May, 1897, vice Bedford.[4]

He was promoted to the rank of Vice-Admiral on 1 July, 1902, vice Lake.[5]

On 9 February, 1907, Bosanquet was appointed Commander-in-Chief, Portsmouth.[8] On 3 August, he was appointed a Knight Grand Cross in the Royal Victorian Order (G.C.V.O.), on the occasion of the King's visit to the Home Fleet.[9]

In accordance with the provisions of the Order in Council of 22 February, 1870, he was placed on the Retired List on 22 March.[10]
