Note just one instructor officer, Inst Commander JohnL Holt MA RN, and that the whole of the school staff were warrant officers of some kind or other, either WO's, WO's over ten years seniority, CWO's = chief WO's, commissioned WO's either lieutenants of lieutenant commanders, chief headmasters, head schoolmaster and the like. See my warrant officer pages 1,2 and 3.To offer a comparison to WW1 at Harwich, this is what Harwich a la WW2 looked like. Note that the appointment is now a flag officer albeit a retired officer, instead of an active list commodore with his own HQ in HMS Badger over in Harwich. The CO of HMS Ganges became the CAPIC Harwich (captain in charge) in lieu of a commodore 2nd class. |
