Commander (retired) Oliver Richard Wace (23 August, 1890 – 9 September, 1932) was an officer in the Royal Navy.
Life & Career
Born in Shrewsbury.
It appears that Wace entered Royal Naval College, Dartmouth directly – part of the Royal Navy's transition from training new cadets in H.M.S. Britannia as the new scheme was being primed.[1][Fact Check]
Wace was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 31 December, 1912.[2]
Wace was appointed in command of the destroyer Success on 9 June, 1919.[3] He would ground her in 1920 after she'd become H.M.A.S. Success in what a Court of Enquiry would consider a a lack of judgment and seamanship on his part. Wace apparently commanded the destroyer until he was placed on the Retired List on 8 November, 1920. He was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Commander on 31 December, 1920. In 1921 he was granted permission to reside in Australia.[4]
Wace was promoted to the rank of Commander on 23 August, 1930.[5]
He died at age 42 on 9 September, 1932 at Fieldside, London Road, Shrewsbury. "No mourning, by his request".[6]
