Commission
editThe article says Fawkes joined the Royal Navy in 1860 but was only commissioned in 1880 but he was already a Commander by 1880 so I suspect an error in the source. He became a Lieutenant in 1867 according to his Times obituary. I will correct an add source later. MilborneOne (talk) 22:33, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks. It does seem unlikely as drafted. Dormskirk (talk) 22:56, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
