Category:Royal Navy Officers Educated at Cruickshank School
This category contains men who studied at the Royal Naval School operated by Messrs. W. H. Colborne (who had been Vice-Principal for many years at Eastman's Royal Naval Academy) & J. Cruickshank, M.A. at Lee-on-the-Solent, Hants – a private preparatory school for boys wishing to apply for entrance to the Royal Navy through competitive examinations. The school would often place advertisements in papers such as the Hampshire Telegraph and Naval Chronicle to broadcast its successes in placing students in the naval service.
At the end of 1900, it was proclaiming that 72% of its students from the last five years had secured naval cadetships.[1]
