Captain Hugh St. Lawrence Nicolson, D.S.O. (11 April, 1899 – ) served in the Royal Navy. He was a "good golfer" and very fit.
As with many men born c. 1899 or later, his Service Records at The National Archives do not reflect activity between 1931 and 1939 or so.
Life & Career
Nicolson was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 15 December, 1920.[1]
Nicolson was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Commander on 15 December, 1928.[2]
Nicolson was promoted to the rank of Commander on 30 June, 1933.[3]
World War II
Nicolson was promoted to the rank of Captain on 31 December, 1940.[4]
H.M.S. Havock grounded off Marsa Lucha on 19 October, 1941 in what the Naval Secretary determined was a "failure of any ship in the division to sound" as well as generally poor navigation. Moreover, Nicolson was faulted for the "unsatisfactory state of affairs ... in the 2nd. Flotilla as regards the maintenance of certain electrical and navigational material."[5]
