Henry Edgar Grace ( – ) was an officer of the Royal Navy during the First World War.

Life & Career

Grace was promoted to Captain on 31 December 1914.

He assumed command of the destroyer Grafton in June 1915, remaining in her until July 1917.[1]

In May, 1918, he was appointed in command of Birkenhead, but sometime before mid-December, Arthur M. Stancomb took over as Acting Captain on a temporary basis.[2]

This cloudy date of succession may have been around 21 September, 1918, when Grace was appointed as captain of Vindictive.[3]
