Commander (retired) Digby St. Aubyn Percy Weston, (20 April, 1874 – 5 August, 1944) served in the Royal Navy.

Life & Career

Weston commanded a torpedo boat in the Annual Manoeuvres of 1894, but it is not entirely legible in his service record. It seems to read T.B. 59, but another man claims that in a Navy List, and so I suppose it may be T.B. 50.

Weston was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant in 1894.[1]

Weston worked as an Assistant to Chief Inspector of Naval Ordnance from August 1910 and was being placed on the Retired List on 20 April, 1912. He continued in his appointment, however, until he was reverted to the Retired List on 15 October 1919, , promoted to the rank of Commander in 1914.[2]
