Commander Robert Harman Llewelyn (3 June, 1884 – 31 May, 1916) served in the Royal Navy.
Life & Career
Llewelyn was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 15 January, 1904.[1]
He was loaned to command the first-class torpedo boat T.B. 34 in the summer, though it is possible that the service record may be indicating a T.B. 54 or 84.[2]
He was appointed gunnery officer in Prince George on 29 July, 1909 and stayed in her through 1 August, 1910 when he was appointed to Hindustan as gunnery officer. He left her on 2 April, 1912 to requalify in gunnery at Excellent.[3]
Llewelyn was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Commander on 15 January, 1912.[4] An appointment as gunnery officer in St. Vincent ran from 28 May, 1912 to 22 February, 1913. Some time in Victory for a War Staff Course and in King Edward VII for intelligence work on the Staff of the Rear-Admiral was followed by a fateful appointment to Queen Mary on 19 December, 1913.[5]
Llewelyn was promoted to the rank of Commander on 31 December, 1915 and reappointed in Queen Mary as gunnery officer, where her excellent performance distinguished him.[6]
LLewelyn was killed when Queen Mary was lost in the Battle of Jutland.[7] In 1917, his family presented £400 to be held in trust by the Admiralty to fund a prize in his name for the best men qualifying for Gunner's Mate at H.M.S. Excellent.
