Naval history

Wodehouse joined the Royal Navy as a midshipman in the Atlantic Fleet in 1904.^[1] During World War I, Wodehouse served on the battleship HMS Revenge at the Battle of Jutland, as a gunnery officer. Although several other members of his team were killed in the battle, Wodehouse survived, and went on to secure the position of aide-de-camp to King George VI and as a result was presented with the Companion of the Order of the Bath. He commanded Royal Naval College, Dartmouth from 1931 to 1934.^[1]

Wodehouse was recalled to active service in 1939, at the beginning of World War II and served as a Convoy Commodore. He was killed when the merchant vessel Robert L. Holt was sunk by U-69 on 4 July 1941, after he had ordered the South Africa bound convoy he was commanding to scatter due to the attacks by German submarines.^[2]

He married Mrs Theodosia Frances Swire, née Boyle (1890–1966), daughter of Commander Edward Boyle and Theodosia Ogilvie, and widow of Captain Douglas William Swire (d. 1920), on 22 October 1923.

By his wife Theodosia, he had two sons:^[3]

Rev. Armine Boyle Wodehouse (b. 1924), who has been twice married (once widowed), and has had issue, one son and two daughters.
Charles Norman Boyle Wodehouse, (1927-2011), who has married, and has issue, one son and two daughters.
