Vice-Admiral (retired) Charles Herbert Morgan, (16 November, 1865 – 30 May, 1942) was an officer in the Royal Navy.

Life & Career

Morgan was born in London, the son of Commander Morgan, Royal Navy.

Morgan was appointed in command of the first class protected cruiser Europa in February, 1908.

In June, 1908, Morgan was appointed in command of the first class protected cruiser Gibraltar.

In August, 1909, Morgan was appointed in command of the battleship Albion.

On 6 December, 1913, he was appointed in command of the battleship Venerable.[6]

Collapse and Australian Service

A telegram was sent in 1914 from the Admiral of 2nd and 3rd Fleets, informing the Admiralty that Morgan had been hospitalised, entering Haslar Hospital on 17 August for a nervous . He was allowed to leave the hospital to "undergo treatment at own risk & expense[,]" being allowed three months for this.

Morgan was placed on the Retired List on 12 January, 1915 as medically unfit. An application to return to the Active List in February was refused. On 26 March, he was offered command of the gunboat Arrow if his health permitted, but this did not come to pass, despite a favourable report from the District Captain, Bristol showed he was proving helpful.
