Note on Child 4: Robert Henry Colbourne

Robert Colbourne joined the Royal Navy on 1st February 1916. He seems to have been posted immediately to the battleship HMS Vanguard. She saw all her service with the Home Fleet, initially part of the 1st Battle Squadron at Scapa Flow. She was in the Battle of Jutland,as part of the 4th Battle Squadron, taking part from beginning to end, though she did not suffer damage or casualties. Midshipman Robert Colbourne was one of 800 crew lost when HMS Vanguard blew up on 9th July 1917 at her anchorage in Scapa Flow, with the British Fleet. Although sabotage was suspected at the time, subsequent investigation indicates that it is more probable that a smouldering and undetected fire ignited cordite which led to the explosion in a magazine.
