CAMPAIGN GROUPS AND PAIRS
Wilson was promoted to Acting Lieutenant (later confirmed) in January 1918 and was placed on the staff at Portsmouth, February 1918- April 1919. Further courses followed at Dolphin, April-June 1919; at the R.N. College, Greenwich, July-December 1919; Dryad Pilotage Course, January-March 1920; and Pembroke Gunnery and Torpedo Course, March-August 1920. He then served with the Naval Intelligence Allied Control Commission in Germany, August 1920-February 1921.
In the midst of what seemed a most promising Naval career, Wilson’s private life was suddenly shattered, when in January 1921, his wife died giving birth to their child. Suffering from acute depression, Lieutenant Wilson shot himself in Hadley Wood, North London, on 23 August 1921. The inquest found that he had committed ‘Suicide whilst of unsound mind’.
