Commander (retired) Harold Richard Ware Turnor, R.N. (10 June, 1887 – ) served in the Royal Navy.
Life & Career
Born in Darmouth, the son of H. M. Turnor, Esq..
Turnor was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 31 December, 1909.
From late 1910 to 14 August, 1913, Turnor was first officer in the destroyer Saracen. In 1912, he received an unsatisfactory report from her commanding officer, Cdr. Cardale, saying he was "lacking tact, unofficerlike manner. no sense of responsibility." By May, however, Cardale was able to report that Turnor "ha[d] greatly improved".
In August 1913 Turnor began serving in the pre-dreadnought Implacable, in which he remained until 19 April, 1916. He was sent to join the light cruiser Bristol when she commissioned in May 1916 but was with her only briefly, as in June he started an extended series of commands of minesweeping vessels that would distinguish his naval career.

Turnor was placed on the Retired List at his own request at the rank of Commander on 14 September, 1929.
