Captain William Bowen Mackenzie, Royal Navy, Retired (4 May, 1880 – 15 February, 1930) was an officer in the Royal Navy.

Life & Career

Mackenzie was born at 21 Sunderland Terrace in London.

Mackenzie was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 1 October, 1902.[1]

Mackenzie was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Commander on 1 October, 1910.[2]

Mackenzie was appointed in command of the destroyer Bulldog on 21 November, 1911.[3] An inspection in July of 1912 revealed that the ship's wine bill was excessive and that the men were "untidily dressed & slow."[4]

Great War

Mackenzie was mentioned in despatches for services in connection to the evacuation of Gallipoli, gazetted on on 14 March, 1916. When Bulldog struck a mine on 16 April, and a Court of Enquiry faulted Mackenzie for not having fixed his last position the day before, but credited him for the coolness with which he dealt with the catastrophe. The Vice-Admiral personally suggested that no disciplinary action result, owing to his high esteem for Mackenzie.[5]

Mackenzie was promoted to the rank of Commander on 31 December, 1916.[6]

Mackenzie was appointed in command of the destroyer Acorn on 20 July, 1918.[7]

Post-War

Mackenzie was placed on the Retired List at his own request after being relieved on 31 October, 1922. He was promoted to the rank of Captain on the Retired List on 4 May, 1925.[8]

He died of a heart ailment and cirrhosis of the liver at "Sunbeam" in Plymouth.[9]
