Commander (retired) Adrian St. Vincent Keyes, C.B.E., D.S.O., (19 December, 1882 – 6 October, 1926) served in the Royal Navy and the Royal Canadian Navy. His naval career and life were perhaps dampened by health concerns, but his gallant performances in support of operations at Gallipoli while in command of H.M.S. Wolverine would earn him a D.S.O.
Keyes was born in Secunderabad, Hyderabad the son of General Sir Charles Patton Keyes of the Indian Army and the younger brother of Roger John Brownlow Keyes, Adrian was raised by his mother, Lady Katherine. Adrian gained eight months' time on passing out of Britannia. http://www.dreadnoughtproject.org/tfs/index.php/Adrian_St._Vincent_Keyes
Keyes was awarded a C.B.E. (mil) for his services on the staff of the Commander-in-Chief, Plymouth in 1919. He reverted to the Retired List on 6 June, 1919. Soon thereafter, the Admiralty had to inform the C-in-C that Keyes would not be eligible for the confirmed rank of Captain.
Keyes died at a nursing home in Edinburgh on 6 October, 1926, as reported in The Times the following day.
Secunderabad (About this sound listen (help·info), also spelled sometimes as Sikandar-a-bad) is the twin city of Hyderabad located in the Indian state of Telangana. Named after Sikandar Jah, the third Nizam of the Asaf Jahi dynasty, Secunderabad was founded in 1806 as a British cantonment. Although Hyderabad and Secunderabad are together referred to as the twin cities, they have both different histories and cultures, with Secunderabad having developed directly under British rule until 1948 and Hyderabad as the capital of the Nizams' princely state of Hyderabad.
