Looking for details on a RN officer not listed here yet?
Juste-mailme, and I might be able to help out.
Of course, any additions, corrections etc. can also be e-mailed.

Strictly out of practical considerations Commanding Officer is used here on this site. Abbreviations and explanations can be found at the help page.

MHz 03.10.1931 rescue of survivors of the Dutch schooner Hedwig near Hong Kong 02.12.1930 * For valour in challenging hopeless odds and giving his life to save the many ships it was his duty to protect. On the 5th November, 1940, in heavy seas Captain Fegen, in his Majesty’s Armed Merchant Cruiser Jervis Bay, was escorting thirty-one Merchantmen. Sighting a powerful German warship, he at once drew clear of the Convoy, made straight for the enemy and brought his ship between the raider and her prey, so that they might scatter to escape. Crippled, in flames, unable to reply for nearly an hour the Jervis Bay held the German’s fire. So she went down; but of the Merchantmen, all but four or five were saved. ** On the 24th March, 1918, while the British s.s. "War Knight" was proceeding up the English Channel in convoy, she collided with the United States oil carrier "O.B. Jennings". It appears that the naphtha, which was on board the latter vessel, ignited, and the two ships and surrounding water were soon enveloped in flames. The Master of the "O.B. Jennings" gave orders that all the ship's available boats should be lowered, those on the starboard side were burnt, and the crew abandoned the ship in the port boats, whilst the Master, Chief Engineer, Chief Officer and three others remained on board. H.M.S. "Garland", under the command of Lieutenant Fegen, with other destroyers, were proceeding to the spot to render assistance, when it was seen that one boat which had been lowered from the "O.B. Jennings" had been swamped. The "Garland" closed the "O.B. Jennings", rescued the men from the swamped boat, and then proceeded alongside the ship, whach was still blazing, and rescued those who were still on board. She afterwards proceeded to pick up the others who had left the ship in boats, rescuing in all four officers and twenty-two men. Lieutenant Fegen handled his ship in a very able manner under difficult conditions during the rescue of the survivors, while Driscoll worked the helm and saw that all orders to the engine-room were correctly carried out. 15.09.1904 joined RN 1914 - 1918 Lieutenant in the ships Amphion and Faulknor, and as second in command of torpedo-boat No. 26 and the destroyer Moy (01.1919) HMS Paladin (torpedo-boat destroyer) (01.1922) HMS Whitley 12.1922 - 01.1924 Commanding Officer, HMS Somme (torpedo-boat destroyer) 01.1924 - 11.1924 Commanding Officer, HMS Volunteer (torpedo-boat destroyer) 28.11.1924 - (01.1925) Executive Officer, HMS Colossus (battleship; boys' training ship, Devonport) 15.01.1926 - (07.)1927 Commanding Officer, HMS Forres (twin screw minesweeper) (Devonport) 11.1927 - 11.1927 Senior Officers' Technical Course, Portsmouth 26.11.1927 - 09.12.1927 London Depot RAN [HMAS Cerberus II (additional)] [on loan to RAN] 10.12.1927 - 18.01.1928 HMAS Cerberus (additional for passage to Australia per "Orsova") [on loan to RAN] 19.01.1928 - 22.08.1929 Executive Officer, RAN College, Jervis Bay, NSW, Australia [HMAS Franklin] [on loan to RAN] 23.08.1929 - 03.09.1929 HMAS Penguin (additional; to await passage for UK) [on loan to RAN] 04.09.1929 - 07.12.1929 London Depot RAN [HMAS Cerberus] (additional; for passage to UK per "RMS Cathay") [on loan to RAN] 23.12.1929 - (02.1931) Executive Officer, HMS Suffolk (cruiser) (China) (01.1932) no appointment listed 25.07.1932 - (07.)1934 Commanding Officer, HMS Osprey (anti-submarine school) (08.1934) no appointment listed 15.10.1934 - 02.1935 Senior Officers' War Course, RN College, Greenwich 02.04.1935 - (07.)1935 Commanding Officer, HMS Dauntless (cruiser) (Reserve Fleet) 12.07.1935 - 08.1938 Staff of Captain of Dockyard, HM Dockyard Chatham [HMS Pembroke] 19.09.1938 - (10.1938) Commanding Officer, HMS Dragon (cruiser) (Reserve Fleet) 09.02.1939 - (04.)1939 Commanding Officer, HMS Curlew (cruiser) (Reserve Fleet) 01.07.1939 - 02.1940 Executive Officer, HMS Emerald (cruiser) 02.1940 - 05.11.1940 Commanding Officer, HMS Jervis Bay (armed merchant cruiser)
