Lieutenant R.N.R. Robert Nash Marshall (16 December, 1885 – 23 January, 1920) served in the Royal Naval Reserve.

Life & Career

Marshall was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant R.N.R. on 10 August, 1916.[1]

Marshall had to give up command of Moorhen due to poor health. His departure dismayed Commodore-in-Charge of Naval Establishments, Hong Kong Victor G. Gurner who had appreciated Marshall's tact in dealing with the various temporary Chinese governments he'd encountered in a 1918 trip up the North River.[2]

He died of tuberculosis at New South Wales while on passage from Hong Kong to Capetown.[3]
