Commander Edward Hamilton Currey, R.N., Retired (13 January, 1857 – 10 December, 1916) served in the Royal Navy.
Life & Career
Currey was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 30 June, 1882.[1]
While in command of Bramble, Currey apparently committed an error in judgement as to which charge when used in firing a salute which resulted in the death of an [illeg] Boatman. However, in November of the same year, he captured a Wahidi Chief who had been disturbing the peace near Aden.[2]
Currey was placed on the Retired List due to age at the rank of Commander on 13 January, 1902.[3]
