Admiral SIR Edmond John Warre Slade, K.C.I.E., K.C.V.O. (20 March, 1859 – 20 January, 1928) was an officer of the Royal Navy.
He was appointed President of the Royal Naval War College - the most junior in rank to hold that post, before being appointed Director of Naval Intelligence in 1907.
On 4 December, 1906 Slade was called upon to sit as a member of the Court trying Lieutenant Bernard St. George Collard. Collard was accused of two charges, namely (1) committing an act to the prejudice of good order and naval discipline by punishing a stoker, and (2) improperly used a disciplinary order in punishing the stoker.
The case had drawn much attention in the media of the day, due to the perceived flouting of authority by Collard, a new arrival at the Royal Naval Barracks, Portsmouth. After deliberating for the afternoon, the Court found the first charge partly proved and ordered Collard reprimanded, an insignificant sign of guilt. The second charge was dismissed, and Slade returned to Terpsichore.
