The Robert Roxburgh Memorial Prize was awarded each term to the Naval Cadet who obtained the highest place in the grand aggregate of marks in the Passing Out Examination at the Royal Naval College, Dartmouth. It consisted of books, accoutrements, or other articles selected by the successful Cadet, subject to the discretion of the Captain of the College.

This Prize was founded in 1917 by Mrs. J. B. Roxburgh in memory of her son, Midshipman Robert Roxburgh, R.N., of H.M.S. Indefatigable, who was killed in action in the Battle of Jutland on 31 May, 1916. The prize was funded by the interest on a sum of £1,200 Government Stock, held in trust by the Admiralty.[1]

Recipients

The recipients are denoted in Navy Lists by a [RR] after their name in the seniority lists. After May 1936, the [KM] denoting the King's Medal also implied receipt of the Robert Roxburgh Prize.
