Life & Career
The son of Reverend D. Olivier of Salisbury.
Olivier was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 30 June, 1892.
Olivier was promoted to the rank of Commander on 31 December, 1903.
On 8 February, 1905 he was appointed in command of Syren. On 9 May, he wrecked the destroyer through what a Court Martial determined was an error of judgement, earning him a reprimand.
In 1908, Rear-Admiral Adair wrote of Olivier, "zealous & hardworking but very tactless & unfortunate manner."
Olivier was appointed in command of the first class protected cruiser St. George in November, 1915. He commanded her through the end of the war.
