Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Vice-Admiral Richard Wells, Commander-in-Chief at the Nore in 1896. The caption in the Navy & Army Illustrated reads: "The popular and capable officer in whose charge as Commander-in-Chief at the Nore are our two dockyards and naval arsenals of Chatham and Sheerness, will in less than twelve months time, complete the fiftieth year of his service on the active list. Vice-Admiral Wells, as a sub-Lieutenant, saw considerable service in the “Arrogant” paddle wheel frigate in the Russian war; he was commander of the Bombay line of battleship when she was burnt at Rio in 1864, and before his present appointment commanded in Chief on the cape and West Coast of Africa station. When he hauled down his flag in Simon’s Bay the ship’s company of his flagship presented him with a silken Vice-Admiral’s flag as a token of esteem and affection." N&AI 21st Feb 1896 |
