This family legend has led me on two quests, to search for my roots and to find Admiral Benbow. William A. Benbow Victoria, B.C. June 1988. ADMIRAL JOHN BENBOW Benbow!

  • Captains of Hms Ajax 1 John Carter Allen
    CAPTAINS OF HMS AJAX 1 JOHN CARTER ALLEN: CAPTAIN OF HMS AJAX from 27 MAY 1770 to 6 JUNE 1771 and from JUNE to 23 AUGUST 1779 John Carter Allen was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 14 June 1745 and to that of Commander on 15 April 1757. He was appointed to the Grampus sloop in command, and towards the end of the same year captured a large privateer. He was soon after posted to a large 6th-rate on the Mediterranean station. He was promoted to the rank of Post Captain on 21 March 1758, and appointed to the Experiment, but in August 1760, he was transferred to the Repulse frigate on the Halifax station, and took part, under Mr Byron, in the attack and destruction of three French frigates and a considerable number of small craft in Chalem Bay. The Repulse then joined the West India fleet, and continued on that station until the end of hostilities. In 1763 the Repulse was laid-up. John Allen did not hold any further commissions until May 1770, when he was appointed to the Ajax, 74. This was the ship's first commission, and she, together with the Ramillies, Defence, Centaur, and Rippon, 74's, embarked the 30th Regiment of Foot at Cork and transported them to Gibraltar. Soon after the Ajax was laid-up, and it was not until 1777 that Captain Allen was appointed to the Albion, and in the following year to the Egmont. When the Channel Fleet returned from Ushant, he once more assumed command of the Ajax, refitting at Portsmouth.

    FLAGS AT THE BATTLE OF THE GLORIOUS FIRST OF JUNE 1794 Barbara Tomlinson The battle of the Glorious First of June was the first major fleet action of the Revolutionary wars. A tactical victory for the British, who took six ships and sank a seventh; perhaps a strategic victory for the French, who successfully protected the grain convoy, the safe arrival of which was vital for the survival of the republic during this period of poor harvests. The French commander, Villaret-Joyeuse, discussing the action later with Captain Edward Brenton while a prisoner of war in the Belle-isle, said that: ...he only gave battle when he knew that the convoy was near at hand, and that it would fall a prey to the British fleet unless that fleet was disabled by action, or busied in securing prizes: for he had made up his mind to the loss of a few ships: "What did I care,' he said, for half a dozen rotten old hulks which you took?" Nevertheless the victory boosted British morale and for this reason is very well documented. The National Maritime Museum possibly holds more material relating to this battle than it holds relating to Trafalgar. Nicholas Pocock, a marine artist noted for his painstaking accuracy, was present during the action on board the frigate Pegasus. This was not as dangerous as it sounds, as frigates were not generally fired on during fleet actions. His sketchbook and notes are preserved amongst the Museum's manuscript collections and the Pictures Section holds many loose sketches. In some cases these were the basis for oil paintings executed at a later date and they infiiiHp records of flags and signals.

  • Introduction
    Introduction In his third Boyer Lecture of November 2009, General Peter Cosgrove, the former Chief of the Australian Defence Force, noted several points on the subject of ‘Leading in Australia’, based on his own forty years of military experience. It was ‘a universal truth’, he said, that leaders ‘are accountable’. ‘Leaders who fail to appreciate this fundamental precept of accountability must also fail to muster the profound commitment true leadership demands’. Furthermore, leadership required a keen understanding of the nature of teamwork, and of the fact that ‘teamwork is adversarial’, whether the team be pitted against another, against the environment or against the standards that the team has set itself. The key to successful leadership is ‘to simply and clearly identify the adversary to the team’ and to overcome the team’s or one’s own shortcomings to forge a cohesive unit united against the adversary. Finally, a leader must be an effective communicator. ‘Communication is the conduit of leadership’, and ‘Leadership uncommunicated is leadership unrequited’. ‘Leadership messages must be direct, simple, [and] fundamentally relevant to each member of the team’.1 While Cosgrove was speaking broadly of contemporary leadership in the military, government and business, his general statements were as applicable to the late eighteenth century as they are today. This thesis examines the subject of leadership in the colony of New South Wales (NSW) for the period 1788 to 1794. The two principal leaders for that period were Captain Arthur Phillip R.N. and Major Francis Grose, the commandant of the New South Wales Corps who assumed command of the colony on Phillip’s departure in December 1792.

Havant History Booklet No. 54 View, comment, and order all booklets at: hhbkt.com Edited by Ralph Cousins 2 Bedhampton, Havant and the Royal Navy (and the Lost Admirals of Leigh Park) Steve Jones Havant, a small coastal town in its own right, has always had close connections with the navy, and its larger neighbour Portsmouth, the home of the Senior Service. From supplying Portsmouth and the navy with cider in the 17th and early 18th centuries through to being the home of several naval establishments during the Second World War, Havant has always played its part in supporting the navy. Even today Portsmouth dockyard, though not with the volume it once was, is a leading employer to the people of the Havant area. With local hi-tec firms such as Lockheed Martin Havant still plays its part in supporting the navy. Because of its close proximity to Portsmouth it is not surprising that many a naval officer chose Havant and its neighbourhood for their homes. Men of the calibre of Admiral Sir John Acworth Ommaney of Warblington House, Emsworth Road, Admiral Sir James Stirling of Belmont Park, Bedhampton, and Vice-Admiral Charles Norcock of Sherwood, East Street, have all at one time chosen to live in Havant.

  • Admiral Arthur Phillip.Pdf
    Admiral Arthur Phillip, R.N. (1738 – 1814) A brief story by Angus Ross for the Bread Street Ward Club, 2019 One of the famous people born in Bread Street was Admiral Arthur Phillip, R.N, the Founder of Australia and first Governor of New South Wales (1788-1792). His is a fascinating story that only recently has become a major subject of research, especially around his naval exploits, but also his impact in the New Forest where he lived mid-career and also around Bath, where he finally settled and died. I have studied records from the time Phillip sailed to Australia, a work published at the end of the 19c and finally from more recent research. Some events are reported differently by different observes or researchers so I have taken the most likely record for this story. Arthur Phillip in later life His Statue in Watling Street, City of London I have tried to balance the amount of detail without ending up with too long a story. It is important to understand the pre-First Fleet Phillip to best understand how he was chosen and was so well qualified and experienced to undertake the journey and to establish the colony. So, from a range of accounts written in various times, this story aims to identify the important elements of Phillip’s development ending in his success in taking out that First Fleet, made up primarily of convicts and marines, to start the first settlement. I have concluded this story with something about the period after he returned from Australia and what recognition of his life and achievements are available to see today.
