Sir Doveton Sturdee

Toronto Daily Star, May 7 1925

Doveton Sturdee (1859-1925) is included here because I love the sound of his name. His full name was Sir Frederick Charles Doveton Sturdee, 1st Baronet GCB, KCMG, CVO. He was awarded a baronetcy in 1916 after sinking almost all of an entire German naval squadron, which seems like an impressive accomplishment. He passed away only four years after his retirement in 1921.
