Thomas Eyles
Thomas Eyles (c. 1769 – 29 September 1835) was an officer of the Royal Navy who served during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars.
Little has been recorded about Eyles' early life, but he served for much of his time in the navy under the patronage of Sir John Borlase Warren, a prominent naval commander, who arranged for Eyles to have a significant role in the Quiberon Expedition in 1795. Success in this operation led to a promotion to post-captain, and command of his own frigate, the 44-gun . Eyles continued to served under Warren in the frigate squadron patrolling the Western Approaches, often captaining Warren's ships. Eyles saw action at the Battle of Tory Island in 1798, and later became Warren's flag captain after Warren's promotion and appointment to serve in the Channel Fleet.
As one of the early commanders of , Eyles had to deal with a mutiny as disaffected sailors aired their grievances at being sent abroad as peace seemed imminent. The mutiny was put down and Eyles carried out his original mission, sailing to the West Indies, before returning to Britain. Eyles appears to have been unemployed for a time, only returning to command a ship in 1809, and moving to command one of the royal yachts shortly before his promotion to rear-admiral in 1814. He rose through the ranks, never hoisting his flag, until his death as a vice-admiral of the white in 1835, at the age of 66.
==Early career==
Eyles was the son of Thomas Eyles of Stratton Audley, Oxfordshire, and his wife, Ann Woodward Baxter, and, in turn, the father of Major Thomas Woodward Eyles. Little is recorded about Eyles's early life and career in the navy. He was a protégé of Sir John Borlase Warren and was serving aboard Warren's ship, the 44-gun , during the Quiberon Expedition in mid-1795. Eyles was a lieutenant at this time, and did not have an active posting, but Warren lobbied the Admiralty to give Eyles a position on the expedition, and himself appointed Eyles to oversee all matters related to signalling and transportation. Encouraged by the expedition's initial success, the Admiralty promoted Eyles to post-captain on 13 July 1795 and Warren to commodore. Eyles received an appointment to command the ''Pomone'', initially as acting captain, and later being confirmed as captain. The expedition ultimately ended in the frustration of the British plans to encourage a French Royalist rising, but Eyles and Warren both benefited from it.〔
