The late Lord Alcester, 1895. Portrait of Admiral Lord Alcester. 'Frederick Beauchamp Paget Seymour...entered the Navy at the age of thirteen. His career was filled with experiences both varied and exciting. He took part in the Burmese War in the fifties, served on the Brisk during the Russian War, and commanded the Naval Brigade in New Zealand. For two years prior to attaining flag rank in 1870 he was private secretary to the First Lord of the Admiralty. He was next Commander-in-Chief of the Detached Squadron; then in 1872 he became Junior Lord of the Admiralty...he commanded the Channel Squadron...[and] the Mediterranean Squadron...the chief event of his life [was] the bombardment and occupation of Alexandria. He was unjustly blamed for certain defective methods connected with this highly responsible work, but his services were rightly appreciated by the nation and his sovereign. He was created Baron Alcester in November 1882...and voted the sum of £25,000'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
