Captain (retired) James Montgomery Caulfeild, C.B.E. (22 February, 1855 – 26 October, 1946) served in the Royal Navy. His name is tricky, as two of the components are variously offered in different sources: "Montgomerie" and "Caulfield". I have chosen a likely combination here.

Life & Career

Caulfeild was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 14 August, 1878.[1]

Caulfeild was promoted to the rank of Commander on 1 January, 1894.[2]

Caulfeild commanded Agincourt in the Training Service from 4 February, 1897 to late 1898, his appointment here being cut short by his shoddy treatment toward Captain Burney, this being expressed in signals made from Boscawen and Agincourt. Sent to the Coast Guard in Kinsale and Queenstown and suffering from bronchitis, Caulfeild did not remain long before he was placed on the Retired List at his own request 1 October 1900.[3]

Caulfeild was promoted to the rank of Captain on the Retired List on 1 January, 1909.[4]
