Lieutenant Charles Ansell (1 December, 1868 – 26 December, 1917) served in the Royal Navy.
Life & Career
Ansell was made an Acting Gunner on 1 January, 1896 and a Chief Gunner on 1 April, 1912.[1]
At the outbreak of war, Ansell ceded command of Vestal, but remained in the ship until November.[2]
Ansell was appointed in command of the first-class torpedo boat T.B. 066 on 17 November, 1914.[3]
An appointment to Achilles was abbreviated by health concerns when Ansell was admitted to a hospital ship (Flossy?) with "organic heart disease" on 20 June, 1916. He was found unfit, but was resurveyed and put back into service in August, "[h]ardworking, capable, zealous, suffer[ing] from heart trouble." In light of this condition, Captain Leake recommended that he be assigned harbour service. He was therefore given Charge of Stores for Defensive Armament, East Coast Ports.[4]
Promoted to Lieutenant on 8 October, 1917, Ansell succumbed to Bright's Disease in Armstrong College Hospital on 26 December of that year.[5]
