Commodore Edward Unwin (20 April 1864 – 19 April 1950) was an English recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces. ==Early life== Born in Fawley, Hampshire on 20 April 1864, Unwin joined the merchant navy at the age of 16 and spent 15 years serving on clippers with P&O. He trained at HMS ''Conway'' and joined the Royal Navy on 16 October 1895, serving during the South African War. In November 1901 he was appointed to HMS ''Vivid'' to serve at HMS ''Forth'', but only five months later he was transferred in April 1902 to HMS ''Monarch'', serving in the South Pacific. He was lent to HMS ''Hawke'' for service on that ship during the voyage to South Africa where ''the Monarch'' was stationed. Unwin was promoted to lieutenant commander in 1903 and retired in 1909 with the rank of Commander. He was recalled to the service on 29 July 1914, shortly before the outbreak of the First World War.
