Captain (retired) Reginald Charles Lloyd Owen, O.B.E. (14 July, 1876 – 25 September, 1945) served in the Royal Navy. Some sources indicate his name was Lloyd-Owen.

Life & Career

Born in Southsea, the son of A. L. Lloyd-Owen, M.D..

Owen was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 30 June, 1898.

Owen was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Commander on 30 June, 1906.

Owen retired at his own request on 27 July, 1911, having recently requested duty in the Coast Guard. This retirement date seems unusually early in his career, given his frequent selection for command of torpedo craft. Perhaps his last command, the tiny T.B. 25, proved too unpleasant after two years. Or, perhaps a recent trip to Switzerland had caused him to rethink his circumstances.

At the commencement of the war, he undertook appointments as a coaling officer in Scapa Flow. He was promoted to the rank of Commander (retired) on 14 July, 1916. In 1917, he was appointed to oversee Western Patrol work at Stromness and a convoy section.

Owen was promoted to the rank of Captain (retired) in recognition of his wartime service, with seniority of 11 November, 1918.
