Captain Frederick Charles Ashley Ogilvy (9 August, 1866 – 18 December, 1909) was an officer in the Royal Navy.

Life & Career

Ogilvy was the third son of the tenth Ogilvy Baronet,[1] Lieutenant Colonel Ogilvy.[2]

Ogilvy was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 22 January, 1888. Appointments in Valorous and Reindeer followed.[3]

He was specially promoted to the rank of Commander on 9 March, 1900 in recognition of his service as senior Lieutenant of the Naval Brigade under General Buller in South Africa, where he was present at the relief of Ladysmith. Late in 1900, he was thanked for his help regarding a sunken dredger, the Canton River in Hong Kong.[4]

He was promoted to the rank of Captain on 30 June, 1904.

On 3 July, 1905 he was admitted to Haslar Hospital with hemorrhoids and granted 14 days leave upon discharge.[5]

He assumed command of the destroyer Grafton in February, 1906.

He was then appointed command of the battleship Revenge on 16 August, 1906.[6]

He was appointed to command the armoured cruiser Natal in December 1908, but succumbed to typhoid while in command. Friends assembled 240 pounds sterling to underwrite a medal in his name to be awarded to the top-placing qualifying candidate for Lieutenant.[7] His widow was granted 25 pounds in recognition of his having designed the "Knocker-Out".[8]
