He was appointed to a two year stint in the battleship Magnificent in the Home Fleet on 10 January, 1907.[1]

Following two months of physical training in early 1909, Holt was appointed Lieutenant in Command of the first-class torpedo boat T.B. 055 on 1 March, 1909. In December, he moved over to command the T.B. 85.[2]

Great War

Holt attacked a submarine with Redoubt on 18 May, 1917 and was awarded a D.S.O. for the effort, gazetted 20 July.[7]

Holt was promoted to the rank of Commander on 31 December, 1917.[8]

Post-War

Holt was appointed in command of the destroyer Rowena in April, 1920.[9]

Holt was promoted to the rank of Captain on 30 June, 1925.[10]

Holt was promoted to the rank of Rear-Admiral on 22 June, 1936.[11]

World War II

Holt was promoted to the rank of Vice-Admiral on 15 December, 1939. He was placed on the Retired List at his own request on 4 May, 1940.[12]
