Bertram Chambers

Admiral Bertram Mordaunt Chambers, CB (3 October 1866 – 27 April 1945) was a Royal Navy officer who served in Australia and Canada.

His paternal grandfather was Sir Charles Harcourt Chambers, puisne judge of the Supreme Court of Bombay.

Chambers was educated at Clifton College and Stubbington House School, before entering HMS Britannia as a cadet in 1879, placing twenty-seventh out of thirty-seven successful candidates.

He became flag captain of the battleship HMS Bulwark in 1907, the flagship of Rear-Admiral Frank Finnis of the Nore Division, Home Fleet.

[3] The Royal Canadian Navy objected to the idea of giving such a title to a British officer under the command of the Admiralty, and transferred Vice-Admiral William Oswald Story, who outranked him, to Halifax.

He was appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath in 1919 "For valuable services as Port Convoy Officer, Halifax, Nova Scotia".
