Captain Herbert William Wyld, D.S.O., R.N., Retired (4 June, 1882 – ) was an officer in the Royal Navy.

Life & Career

Wyld was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 31 December, 1903. In January 1904, Captain Paget would note that Wyld had demonstrated great aptitude in navigation.[1]

Wyld was appointed Lieutenant & Commander of the first-class torpedo boat T.B. 35 on 4 August, 1909.[2]

Wyld was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Commander on 31 December, 1911.[3]

Wyld was appointed in command of the destroyer Pincher on 20 September, 1912.[4]

Wyld was admitted to Queensferry Hospital on 26 January, 1913 for a fractured rib on his left side. He was found fit on 10 February. Captain (D), Third Destroyer Flotilla Carey evaluated him that month as having a poor physique and lacking force of character. On 6 May, 1913 he was tried by Court Martial for stranding Pincher. Default was proved and Wyld received a reprimand. Though his ship performed well in the 1913 gunlayers' tests, the new Captain (D) 3 D.F. Fox also recorded that he felt Wyld lacked power of command.[5]

On 11 April, 1915, he was commended for his zealous and efficient manner in which he had carried out transport escort duties since December, 1914. He grounded Pincher a second time during 1915 and received a lighter admonition from the Admiralty.[6]

On 15 November, 1916, Wyld was appointed in command of the destroyer Nereide.[7]

On 1 June 1917, Wyld was given fourteen days leave in England while Nereide was refitting. He would be re-appointed in command when she re-commissioned in July 1918 and serve through the end of the war.

Post-war

On 10 April, 1919, Wyld left Nereide upon her reducing to reserve. On 7 May he would be appointed to command Serene and for charge of a group of T.B.Ds.. He was promoted to the rank of Commander on 30 June, 1919.[8]

He was appointed in command of the destroyer Spindrift on 21 June, 1920.[9]

Wyld was placed on the Retired List at his own request on 1 November, 1922.[10]

World War II

In August 1939, Wyld was appointed to the Contraband Control Service in Gibraltar.

On 1 December, 1941, he was appointed in command of Sandhurst, vice Hoare-Smith.
