Captain (emergency) Alexander Hahnemann Quicke, (19 April, 1877 – 27 December, 1938) served in the Royal Navy.

Life & Career

Born in Ashburne[?], Somerset, the son of Reverend C. P. Quicke, Quicke gained twelve months' time on passing out of Britannia.[1]

Quicke was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 15 July, 1898.[2]

A newspaper report that he would command Tiger in the Annual Manoeuvres of 1901 is not reflected in his service record.[3]

On 20 June, 1902, Quicke qualified as first-class Lieutenant (T).[4]

Quicke was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Commander on 15 July, 1906.[5]

In February, 1907 he designed a blockade mine pistol and received a gratuity of 250 pounds sterling.

Quicke requested that his name be removed from the list of men qualified for torpedo duties in January, 1910. Quicke's resignation was accepted on 6 April, 1910. His name was placed on the Emergency List in October 1910 so that his commission could be restored in order that he could travel to Chile as a Torpedo Instructor. He left for Chile on 29 December, 1910 and worked for their government until 28 December, 1912.[6]

In early 1913, he provided a useful report on American submarine and destroyer battle tactics.[7]

Quicke was promoted to the rank of Acting Commander on the Emergency List on 18 April, 1915 and appointed in command of the new submarine H 10.

Quicke was promoted to the rank of Commander on the Emergency List on 19 April, 1917.[8]

Quicke was promoted to the rank of Captain on the Emergency List on 1 February, 1919.[9]
