HMS Powerful
EthelstonAlfred PeelCommanderHe was killed in action at Graspan, November 25th 1899, in the splendid advance made by the Naval Brigade. He was the son of R P Ethelston, of Hinton, Salop. Commander Ethelston entered the Royal Navy as a cadet in July 1875, was promoted sub Lieutenant December 1882, Lieutenant, February 1885, and commander January 1897. As a sub Lieutenant of HMS Helicon, he had served during the Naval and Military operations in the Eastern Soudan, at Suakin, in 1884-85, and was awarded the medal and bronze star. At the battle of Graspan Commander Ethelston was in command of the sailors of the Naval Brigade serving with the Kimberley Relief Force. Sir A Conan Doyle thus describes the action of the Naval Brigade: "the losses in that rapid rush were terrible, yet they swarmed up, their gallant officers, some of them little boy middies, cheering them on". Ethelston, the commander of the Powerful, was struck down. Plumbe and Senior of the Marines were killed. "Little Huddart, the middy, died a death which is worth many inglorious years". Out of a total of 190 killed and wounded at Graspan, it is stated that no fewer than 105 fell to the Naval Brigade. Commander Ethelston was buried close to Enslin Station, a little east of the siding there, beside Major Plumbe and Captain Senior. (See Major Plumbe)
