Commander R.N.R. Guy Ronald Dolphin, R.D., R.N.R. (9 July, 1881 – ) served in the Royal Naval Reserve.
Life & Career
Dolphin was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant R.N.R. on 10 May, 1906.
Donohue gained the rank of Lieutenant-Commander R.N.R. on 9 August, 1914. He served two months in the armed merchant cruiser Cedric and then a little over a year in the armed merchant cruiser Teutonic.[1]
Thanked for his survey of the Piton Islands, he was unfit from 11 September, 1915. On the 15th he was admitted to Haslar Hospital with chronic pharyngitis and neuralgia. He was pronounced fit on the 29th.[2]
Dolphin was promoted to the rank of Commander R.N.R. on 31 December, 1916. Having been recommended for command of a "Q" boat, he was appointed in command of H.M.S. Peveril on 2 March 1917, and re-appointed when she was renamed Q.36 on 19 March. He was receiving very favourable reviews in this period, but was then judged to have performed unsatisfactorily in an encounter with an enemy submarine on 30 March. In consequence, he was sent to the depot on 28 April.[3]
He was demobilised on 15 February, 1919.[4]
