Admiral Francis Starkie Clayton, Royal Navy, Retired (19 July, 1838 – 21 October, 1913) was an officer of the Royal Navy.
Life & Career
Clayton committed to his diary in July, 1887:
- I am still uncertain about my movements as the Admiral has not yet got the requisite permission [by] telegram. Really, it is too bad that an Admiral can't move about his own station without permission from home—centralisation with a vengeance. It is a great pity, all owing to that tiresome telegraph—he may not go out of reach of the plague [sic] without leave.[1]
