The Harold Tennyson Memorial Prize was literary award presented each term to the Naval Cadet of the Third Term at the Royal Naval College, Dartmouth, who comes out first in an Examination in English Literature on the work of the great English Prose or Poetical Writers. These examination subjects from time to time included one or more poems of Lord Tennyson, who had founded the prize in 1917 in memory of his son, Acting Sub-Lieutenant The Hon. Harold Courtenay Tennyson, R.N., of the destroyer H.M.S. Viking who'd been killed in action on 29 January, 1916 when the ship was damaged by a mine in the Dover Straits.
The prize consisted of books, including the single volume edition of Lord Tennyson's complete works. It was funded by the interest on a sum of £230 of Government Stock held in trust by the Admiralty.
