Lieutenant Robert Julian Archibald Cuming, (29 May, 1902 – 19 February, 1930) served in the Royal Navy. At some point, perhaps after 1924, he changed his name to the cumbersome Robert Julian Archibald Cuming Gibson Craig.

As with many men born c. 1899 or later, his Service Records at The National Archives do not reflect activity between 1931 and 1939 or so.

Life & Career

Cuming was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 15 July, 1924.

On 13 November 1924, he was severely reprimanded by sentence of a Court Martial for allowing K 22, to which he had been appointed as navigator the previous December, to be stranded.

Cuming died when a car in which he was a passenger fell into a dock in Portsmouth Dockyard.
