Captain Emile Frank Verlaine Dechaineux, (3 October, 1902 – 21 October, 1944) served in the Royal Australian Navy.
Life & Career
Dechaineux was awarded the Ogilvy Medal for achieving first place in qualifying examinations as Lieutenant (T), but I am not sure what year this was. One source feels it was 1929,[1] but The Times reports that Guy Bouchier Sayer won that year's award. Perhaps they tied?
Dechaineux was promoted to the rank of Captain on 30 June, 1937.[2]
He was killed in a kamikaze attack on H.M.A.S. Australia on 21 October, 1944.[3]
