Early Life & Career

Richard Webb was born on 20 July, 1870, the youngest son of Mr. Richard C. Webb, of Holt Lodge, Norfolk.

He was confirmed in the rank of Sub-Lieutenant on 10 June, 1891, dated 14 December, 1889.[1]

Webb was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 14 December, 1891.[2]

Webb was promoted to the rank of Commander on 1 January, 1902.[3] On 5 June he was appointed Commander of the Ariadne on the North America and West Indies Station. Arthur Marder writes "when commanding the flagship Ariadne on the West Indian Station in pre-war days, he forebade gin in the ward-room as an ungentlemanly drink!"[4] Marder doesn't name his informant, but given that Webb was Commander of the Ariadne, not in command, one may take Marder and his informant's gossip with a pinch of salt.

Webb was promoted to the rank of Captain on 1 January, 1907.[5]

He was appointed in command of the third class protected cruiser Amethyst on 5 January, 1909.[6]

Webb wrote to Colonel Hankey on 28 May, 1915:

This is a war of extermination not one of platitudes about Business as Usual. The best way of protecting our trade is by beating the enemy. If we don't do that there won't be any trade to protect.[10]

On 1 October, 1917, Webb was appointed in command of the battle cruiser New Zealand.[11] He was promoted to the rank of Rear-Admiral on 3 September, 1918, vice Dumas.[12] On 15 October he married Miss Agnes E.

Superb dated 11 November, 1918.[15]
