Lieutenant-Commander (retired) Guy Leslie Cockburn, D.S.C., R.N. (11 March, 1897 – 16 November, 1942) served in the Royal Navy.
Life & Career
Cockburn was appoonted to the battleship Erin from late 1914 through 16 August, 19176, seeing action in her at the Battle of Jutland. He then spent 6 months in Larkspur and then ten in Queen Elizabeth.[1]
Cockburn was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 15 July, 1918. Assigned to C.M.Bs., in which he was deemed to be not well suited in a temperamental manner, he was involved in the attempt to block Zeebrugge and Ostend.[2]
Cockburn was placed on the Retired List at his own request on 26 April, 1920.[3]
Cockburn was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Commander on 15 July, 1926.[4]
World War II
Suffering from angina, and having been in hospital, Cockburn was reverted to the Retired List on 23 December 1941.[5]
On 25 January, 1942, Cockburn was unable to produce receipts or any acceptable account for the disposal of a missing secret document. This was deemed "a serious dereliction of duty." He died later in the year, and without further detail, I assume this to be from heart disease.[6]
