Captain Arthur Dyke Beauchamp James, (19 May, 1898 – ) served in the Royal Navy.
Life & Career
The son of an Australian sheep farmer, James served in Glory, Royal Oak, Viking and Sharpshooter during the war.[1]
James was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 1 October, 1919.[2]
James was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Commander on 1 October, 1927.[3]
James was promoted to the rank of Commander on 31 December, 1932.[4]
An evaluation from Rear-Admiral Crabbe, Senior Naval Officer, Yangtse in 1936 says that though James "has a clean ship which appears to be well run", Crabbe found "I am not impressed by his general personality. He is not popular either ashore or afloat."[5]
World War II
He was placed on the Retired List, medically unfit for a variety of reasons including deafness, bronchitis and defective vision on 18 May, 1948. He was granted the War Service Rank of Captain on 16 July.[6]
