Lieutenant Richard Ivor Pulleyne, D.S.O., D.S.C., R.N. (26 February, 1889 – 20 July, 1918) was an officer in the Royal Navy.
Life & Career
Born in Leeds, Pulleyne entered the Royal Navy ranked 42nd (tied) in order of merit of sixty cadets accepted in the May 1904 intake term at H.M.S. Britannia.[1]
Pulleyne was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 1 October, 1911.[2]
Pulleyne was junior officer and sole survivor aboard B 2 when she sank after being rammed by S.S. Amerika on 4 October, 1912. He was fortunate in that he was on the conning tower at the time of the collision.[3]
Pulleyne was appointed to Rosario for service aboard C 38 on 4 March, 1913, second in command to Lt. Rowland K. C. Pope.[4]
He was in command of the submarine E 34 on 10 May, 1918 when she sank UB 16 at 52deg 6' N., 2deg 1' E..[5] He would be awarded a D.S.O. for this feat, gazetted 7 August, 1918.
Pulleyne was not given the chance to bask in his success, as he lost his life when E 34 was lost with all hands on 20 July, 1918.[6] His body washed ashore at Vlieland on 30 July, 1918 and was buried with full military honours.
