Rear Adm. C. Cradock (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

    they have misspelled his name, it is Craddock. Likely posted as part of the shocking news of his death and the British navy's first defeat in over 100 years at the Battle of Coronel www.christopherlong.co.uk/pub/coronelfalklands.html en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Coronel
  • Wystan said:
    Wikipedia also spells his name with only one "d" -- but of course Wikipeddia often is wrong. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Cradock In 1913, Craddock was appointed to command of the British Navy's North America and West Indies station. That likely is the reason his photo was circulated by the Bain News Service, since the photo appears in Bain's 1913 photostream. The Battle of Coronel, in which Craddock died, did not occur until 1914.

    Must date after his appointment as KCVO in 1912.
