Rear-Admiral (retired) Walter Reginald Glynn Petre, D.S.O., R.N. (14 December, 1873 – 26 December, 1942) was an officer in the Royal Navy.

Life & Career

Petre gained five months' time on passing out of Britannia. His first naval service was aboard Orlando, on the Australia Station, appointed 17 October, 1889. On 18 December, he went to join Opal, but he returned to Orlando in May 1890 and remained in her through 9 May, 1893.[1]

Petre was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 30 June, 1896.[2]

Petre was appointed as first officer in Halcyon of the Special Service Squadron on 30 June, 1904, and then as first officer in Dido in the Channel 28 February, 1905.[3]

Petre was appointed as first officer in Natal of the Fifth Cruiser Squadron on 5 March, 1907, but was sent to Haslar Hospital on 2 May with a compound fracture to his left leg which he sustained in an accident handling an anchor. To add insult to this, a Court of Enquiry found that he had taken inadequate precautions in the mooring exercise. Petre was promoted to the rank of Commander on 30 June, 1907 but remained unfit until 28 January, 1908.[4]

Petre was promoted to the rank of Captain on 30 June, 1915.[5]

On 6 September, 1915, Petre came down with the flu. He was landed from Angora on the 9th and rejoined her on the 13th, but was not expected to be fit enough to return her to sea for another week.

Petre was appointed in command of the light cruiser Cleopatra on 29 November, 1918.[6]

Petre was placed on the Retired List at his own request on expiration of his foreign service leave upon his relief, on 21 March, 1923. He was promoted to the rank of Rear-Admiral on the Retired List on 8 July, 1926.[7]

Petre died of peritonitis and a perforated appendix.
