Captain Roger L'Estrange Murray Rede, D.S.O. (30 August, 1878 – 3 March, 1930) was an officer in the Royal Navy.

Life & Career

Rede was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 31 December, 1901.[1]

Rede was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Commander on 30 December, 1909.[2]

On 12 February, 1913, Rede was appointed as Lieutenant & Commander of the first-class torpedo boat T.B. 8.[3]

On 22 April, 1913, Rede was admitted to Chatham Hospital with a renal condition. He was declared fit on 9 May.[4]

On 21 January, 1914, he was appointed in command of the first-class torpedo boat T.B. 23.[5]

Rede was promoted to the rank of Commander on 30 June, 1914.[6]

Great War

Rede started the war with a matrimonial turn, marrying Elfrida Clement on 22 August, 1914, at St. Paul's in Sheerness..[7]

Upon being superseded in command of T.B. 23 on 30 April, 1915, Rede was appointed as executive officer in the battleship Albemarle, where Captain Nugent noted that he was capable and had qualities that would recommend him as a captain. Commended for his conduct when the ship was heavily damaged in a storm on 7 November, 1915, Rede would serve in Albemarle until she paid off on 19 September, 1916. On the 30th, he was appointed in command of the destroyer Martin.[8]

On 15 October, 1917, Rede was appointed in command of the destroyer Trident.[9]

On 20 December, 1917, Rede was appointed in command of the flotilla leader Botha, which was then one of seven flotilla leaders in the Sixth Destroyer Flotilla, operating as part of the Dover Patrol.[10]

Rede was awarded the D.S.O. for services against German destroyers off the Belgian coast in the Action of 21 March, 1918, when he took Botha through a barrage of gunfire without checking to see if the rest of his division were following and proceeded to ram and cut an enemy torpedo boat in two. The success of the engagement was thought to hinge upon his example of leadership.[11] Botha had 13 men killed in the battle.[12]

Rede was appointed in command of the flotilla leader Seymour on 7 November, 1918.[13]

Post-War

Rede was promoted to the rank of Captain on 31 December, 1918.[14]

On 1 March, 1919, Rede was appointed to Dido for Swift as Assistant Captain (D), Portsmouth. He was superseded in Swift on the 24th of the month, and on the 28th was appointed in command of the Lightfoot Class flotilla leader Nimrod, and as Assistant Captain (D), Portsmouth.[15]

Rede was appointed to Resolution, additional on 21 April, 1928, to take command upon joining her. Rede was superseded in August, 1929.[16]

On 14 October, 1929, Rede went to a Senior Officers' War Course. This ended on 21 February, 1930 and Rede died just ten days later — no cause is listed on his service record. He was buried at sea from his last command, Resolution, on 13 April, 1930.[17]
