The Paymaster Director-General was both an office and a rank at various times in the Royal Navy. On 6 March, 1918, Paymaster-in-Chief John H. G. Chapple was appointed Paymaster Director-General in the Second Sea Lord's office with the relative rank of Rear-Admiral.[1] From 3 October his successor, Acting Paymaster-in-Chief William M. C. B. Whyte, was given the rank and style of Paymaster Rear-Admiral.[2] This was given legal effect by Order in Council of 8 November.[3] On 20 December, 1919, the post of Paymaster Director-General with the rank of Paymaster Rear-Admiral was formally sanctioned.[4]
