Ritchie received the first VC awarded to naval personnel during the First World War for his actions during a raid on the German colonial harbour of Dar-es-Salaam in November 1914, which left him seriously wounded.〔The first naval VC gazetted in the First World War was to Norman Douglas Holbrook for gallantry 15 days later on 13 December 1914.〕 Despite the courage of his actions during the raid, Ritchie was not initially recommended for the Victoria Cross. Delayed by discussion at the Admiralty concerning the correct medal to award, it was not until 24 April 1915, nearly six months later, that the medal was presented.〔''The Times'', Court Circular, 26 April 1915, p. 9.〕 Ritchie never fully recovered from his wounds and was forced into early retirement the following year. Although he lived another 41 years, he never again commanded at sea. ==Early career== Born in Edinburgh to Dr Robert and Mary Ritchie, Henry was educated at George Watson's Boys' College and Blair Lodge before he enrolled on the training ship HMS ''Britannia'' at the age of fourteen, in 1890. Rapidly rising in the navy due to keen intelligence and impressive strength,〔 Ritchie was promoted to lieutenant six years later, and served for the next fifteen years as a junior staff officer at Sheerness Gunnery School. In 1900 Ritchie became the armed forces lightweight boxing champion, and was the runner up in the same contest the following year.〔P.6, ''The Naval VCs'', Stephen Snelling〕 Whilst stationed at Sheerness, he met and married Christiana Lilian Jardine, with whom he would have two daughters. His shore service ended in March 1911, when he was posted as senior lieutenant to the pre-dreadnought battleship HMS ''Goliath''. Promoted to commander later that year, he managed the ship's gunnery exercises and procedures while ''Goliath'' was part of the Channel Fleet stationed in British waters. It was said by one of his junior officers that "Ritchie had the reputation of being very strict, but I always found him most fair".〔P.7, ''The Naval VCs'', Stephen Snelling〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Henry Ritchie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
