Though he was mentioned in despatches for services in Somaliland in 1903-4, a disturbance in the Portsmouth naval barracks resulted in a comment on 3 December, 1906 that, "Commander Sidney R.

He was promoted to the rank of Captain on 30 June, 1909.[4]

He was appointed in command of the battleship Zealandia on 14 September, 1916.[6]

He was appointed in temporary command of Princess Royal on 9 October, 1917,[7] handing command back over to Captain John D. Kelly less than 3 months later.

He was appointed in command of the battleship Superb on 2 February, 1918.[8]
