Admiral Sir Henry Daniel Pridham-Wippell, KCB, CVO (12 August 1885 – 2 April 1952) was a Royal Navy officer who served in the First and Second World Wars.

[3] He followed the news of the early Zionist movement, and he spoke "warmly and enthusiastically" about the idea of Jewish people finally having a country of their own where they would not be "subject to persecution."

He stated "there are more of the Jewish people in the eastern half of Europe today than there are Irish in Ireland or Greeks in Greece, and they are treated in a most unjust manner in most of these places."

Pridham-Wippell believed it made sense that they should have "a place of their own" and he was in favor of the aims of Zionist movement to establish a homeland for the Jewish people in what he called "the Holy Land."

[9] After seeking the advice of the British consul in Danzig, Pridham-Wippell exchanged visits with Lieutenant Commander Tadeusz Morgenstern-Podjazd of the Wicher on 15 June 1932.
