ABSTRACT
Admiral Sir Reginald Bacon, KCB, KCVO, DSO. He was one of the new breed of technically minded officers, prepared to follow up every innovation. He was the father of the British submarine service, and, as Rear-Admiral, Dover Patrol, 1915-17, he had command of the waters through which all personnel and supplies for the British armies in France had to pass, which was accomplished with minimum loss.
