Life & Career

Hyde Parker attained 1,043 marks in the entrance examination. Because four candidates who had been nominated for the Navy had failed the examination, and another candidate's health precluded him from joining, cadetships were given to the five candidates who had scored the highest in the exam. Hyde Parker had placed first of the five.[1]

Hyde Parker was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 1 April, 1891.[2]

Hyde Parker was promoted to the rank of Commander on 30 June, 1901.[3]

He was appointed to command Minerva in October 1910, remaining with her until the end of 1912.[8]

Parker was appointed in command of the first class protected cruiser Endymion on 9 January, 1913.[9]

Great War

He was appointed command of the dreadnought Superb on 20 February, 1915.[12][13] He was in command of this early dreadnought when she participated in the Battle of Jutland. His report on the proceedings details her perspective of the battle.

Hyde Parker was promoted to the rank of Rear-Admiral on 23 October, 1917, vice Tudor, promoted to Vice-Admiral.[14]

He was appointed an Additional Member of the Third Class, or Companion, in the Military Division of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath (C.B.) on 1 January, 1918,[15] for his services in command of Superb. On 1 September he was appointed Director of the Mobilisation Department at the Admiralty.[16]
