England was promoted to the rank of Commander on 30 June, 1915.[5]

On 29 September, 1916, while in command of Harpy which was then based at Mudros, England was severely wounded in both legs in a skirmish whose details I've yet to discover. He was reported as being in satisfactory condition on 3 October. On 11 October he was admitted to Haslar for a bullet wound in his left leg (though elsewhere the right leg is mentioned), six weeks being expected for treatment. He was not, however, fit for service until 19 August, 1918.[6]
