Admiral Richard H. Peirse as a Vice-Admiral, 1917.
Portrait: © National Portrait Gallery, London.

Admiral SIR Richard Henry Peirse, K.C.B., K.B.E., M.V.O., Royal Navy (4 September, 1860 – 10 July, 1940) was an officer of the Royal Navy. He was Commander-in-Chief in the East Indies at the outbreak of the First World War, and afterwards assisted The Lord Fisher on the Board of Invention and Research.

Early Life & Career

Peirse was born in York on 4 September, 1860, the son of Lieutenant-Colonel C.H. Peirse. In 1873 he joined the Royal Navy, passing in seventh out of the twenty-four who sat the July entry examination. He served as a Midshipman in the Channel Squadron and in the corvette Charybdis on the China Station.

Peirse was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant with seniority of 1 January, 1881 on the basis of examination scores strong enough to grant him both the Goodenough Medal and Beaufort Testimonial for the year 1880.[1]

On 1 January, 1893, Peirse was promoted to the rank of Commander.[2]

Captain

Peirse was promoted to the rank of Captain on 30 June, 1900.[3]

His work in revising the Gunnery Manual elicited appreciative remarks from Their Lordships in October, 1902. A Signal Course at Portsmouth followed in February.[4]

On 21 May, 1903, he was appointed to the second class protected cruiser Dido.[5] On the occasion of the King's visit to Austria he was appointed a Member of the Fourth Class of the Royal Victorian Order (M.V.O.) on 9 October.[6]

In November 1904, he became Captain of the armoured cruiser Bedford, remaining about one year.[7]

He commanded the battleship H.M.S. Commonwealth from December 1905, possibly until October 1907.[8]

In a letter of 13 April, 1907, the Director of Naval Ordnance, John R. Jellicoe, mentioned to the Captain-designate of Excellent, Reginald G. O. Tupper, "entre nous that Peirse will be DNO. He doesn't know of it yet so please say nothing even to him."[9] Commodore Frederick T. Hamilton, whom Tupper was to succeed and who was to become Inspector of Target Practice, wrote, "I am sure we shall find Peirse as DNO a first rate man to work with."[10] In the end, however, Jellicoe was succeeded by Captain Reginald H. S. Bacon.

Flag Rank

Peirse was promoted to the rank of Rear-Admiral on 9 February, 1909, vice Adair.[11]

Peirse was appointed an Ordinary Member of the Third Class, or Companion, in the Civil Division of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath (C.B.) on 1 January, 1913.[12]

On the occasion of King George V's birthday Peirse was appointed an Ordinary Member of the Second Class, or Knight Commander, in the Military Division of the Order of the Bath (K.C.B.) on 22 June, 1914.[13]

Great War

Peirse was promoted to the rank of Vice-Admiral dated 24 October, 1914.[14]

Peirse was promoted to the rank of Admiral on 11 March, 1918.[15] He was placed on the Retired List at his own request on 17 January, 1919.[16]
