Rear-Admiral SIR Edward Owen Cochrane, K.B.E., Royal Navy (17 August, 1881 – 27 January, 1972) was an officer of the Royal Navy.
His great-grandfather's eldest brother was Admiral Lord Cochrane.
Life & Career
He was appointed command of the battlecruiser Repulse in August 1931.[1]
In 1956 while driving in Switzerland Cochrane hit and injured a man disembarking from a tram on the road between Vevey and Lausanne. The man was "permanently injured" and in October, 1957 Cochrane was tried in absentia by a Swiss court to two months in jail. The following year the case was retried at the request of Cochrane, and the sentence was quashed after he paid a five-hundred francs fine.
