The baronetcy was conferred on Captain Hood's brother Samuel, who commanded the Zealous in the battle of the Nile, and died in 1815, whilst Commander-in-Chief in the East Indies. He had no issue, and the title, by special remainder, passed to his nephew. Belonging to a family so distinguished in our naval annals, Arthur Hood's career was almost naturally shaped out for him, and he entered the Navy in August, 1836. He saw some little fighting on the north coast of Spain, where the Civil War was then raging, and afterwards on the coast of Syria, where, in 1840, he was present at the reduction of Acre. In 1844-45 he went through a course of mathematics and gunnery on board the Excellent and at the college in Portsmouth Dockyard. He then was appointed to the President, flagship of Rear-Admiral Dacres at the Cape of Good Hope, and a few months later, on 9 January, 1846, was promoted to be one of her lieutenants. He remained in the President till she was paid off in January 1849, and after a year's holiday he was appointed, in January 1850, to the Arethusa, then commissioned for the Mediterranean by Captain Symonds, afterwards very well known as Admiral of the Fleet Sir Thomas Symonds. With Symonds, in the Arethusa, Hood continued for nearly five years, and was promoted to the rank of commander on 27 November 1854, for service with the naval brigade before Sebastopol. In 1856 he commissioned the Acorn brig for China, where he took part in the action with the junks in Fatshan Creek on 1 June 1857, and served with the naval brigade at the capture of Canton in the following December. For this he received his promotion to captain on 26 February 1858. He had now several years on shore, and it was not till December 1862, that he was appointed to the Pylades for the North America Station, where he remained for nearly four years, when he was recalled to England to take the command of the Excellent, then as now the headquarters of instruction in naval gunnery. He held this command for three years, and for the five following years was Director of Naval Ordnance, in which post he showed himself a careful, painstaking officer, though without the genius that was especially wanted at a period of great change. Irrespective of politics, Hood was by temperament a very old-fashioned conservative, and clung to the ideas of the past after they had ceased to be suitable for the present. The C.B. was conferred on him on 20 May 1871, and, in June 1874, he was appointed to command the turret ship Monarch in the Channel Fleet. On 22 March 1876, Hood was made a rear-admiral, and in January 1877, he accepted a seat at the Admiralty. From December 1879, to April 1882, he commanded the Channel Fleet, and in June 1885, he was appointed First Sea Lord of the Admiralty, in succession to Sir Cooper Key, and in the administration of Lord George Hamilton. The four years which followed were years of great change and great advance, but it was commonly supposed that Hood's efforts were mainly devoted to preventing the advance from becoming too rapid. Like his predecessor he scarcely understood the essential needs of England as a great naval Power, and several of his public declarations might be thought equivalent to an expression of belief that, useful as the Navy was, the country could get on very well without it. On 14 July 1889, having reached the age of 65, he was put on the Retired List, and at the same time resigned his post at the Admiralty. He continued, however, to take an active interest in naval affairs; and, somewhat curiously, showed in occasional letters in our columns and elsewhere a more correct appreciation of the problems of naval supremacy than he was supposed to have done during his official life. He had obtained the rank of vice-admiral on 23 July 1880, and of admiral on 18 January 1886. In December 1885, he was made a K.C.B., and a G.C.B. in September 1889. In February 1892, he was raised to the peerage as Lord Hood of Avalon. He married, in October 1855, Fanny Henrietta, third daughter of Sir Charles Fitzroy Maclean, and had issue two daughters.

The Victory Medal awarded to Hospital Orderly Miss Elsie E. Bowerman, Scottish Women’s Hospital Unit, who was a prominent member of the Women’s Social and Political Union and served as Christabel Pankhurst’s Political Agent in the 1918 General Election- six years earlier she had survived the sinking of the Titanic Victory Medal 1914-19 (E. E. Bowerman); together with the recipient’s Scottish Women’s Hospitals Medal 1914, bronze, the edge engraved ‘Mess Ord. Elsie E. Bowerman’, good very fine (2) £600-£800 --- Elsie Edith Bowerman was born in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, on 18 December 1889, and was educated at Wycombe Abbey and Girton College, Cambridge. Whilst at Girton she joined the Women’s Social and Political Union in 1909, and the following year established a branch in the College. Her mother, Edith, was also a member of the W.S.P.U., and was one of the ten members chosen to accompany Emmeline Pankhurst on her deputation to the House of Commons on ‘Black Friday’, 18 November 1910; she also went on the next deputation three days later, when she was dealt a severe blow on the head by a policeman and her coat was torn to pieces. In 1912 Elsie Bowerman and her mother embarked for America on the Titanic, and were aboard her when she sank during her maiden voyage on 15 April 1912. She later wrote: ‘The silence when the engines stopped was followed by a steward knocking on our door and telling us to go on deck. This we did and were lowered into life-boats, where we were told to get away from the liner as soon as we could in case of suction. This we did, and to pull and oar in the midst of the Atlantic in April with ice-bergs floating about is a strange experience.’ On the outbreak of the Great War Elsie Bowerman supported the decision of the W.S.P.U. to help Britain’s war effort. She took part in the Women’s War Procession in July 1916 and was then asked by Evelina Haverfield to go out to Serbia as a Hospital Orderly with the Scottish Women’s Hospital Unit. According to Elizabeth Crawford in her book The Women’s Suffrage Movement, ‘In September 1916 Elsie Bowerman sailed to Russia as an Orderly with the Scottish Women’s Hospital Unit. With this unit she travelled via Archangel, Moscow, and Odessa to serve the Serbian and Russian armies in Romania. The women arrived as the allies were defeated, and were soon forced to join the retreat northwards to the Russian frontier.’ While awaiting her passage home, she witnessed the overthrow of Tsar Nicholas II in St. Petersburg. Returning home, she joined the Women’s Party, an organisation established by Emmeline and Christabel Pankhurst. Following the passing of the Qualification of Women Act 1918, Christabel Pankhurst became one of the 17 female candidates who stood in the 1918 General Election, and Elsie Bowerman was appointed her political agent. Contesting the Smethwick seat, she lost narrowly to the Labour candidate by 775 votes. In 1922 Elsie Bowerman established, with Flora Drummond, the Women’s Guild of Empire, a right-wing league opposed to communism, the campaigns of which culminated in 1926 in a great procession in London and a meeting at the Royal Albert Hall demanding an end to the General Strike and the abolition of trade unions. Called to the Bar in 1924, as one of the first female barristers, she practised on the the south-eastern circuit until 1938 when she joined the Marchioness of Reading in starting the Women’s Voluntary Service. During the Second World War she worked for the Ministry of Information (1940-41) and as a Liaison Officer for the B.B.C.s North American Service (1941-45). After the War she spent one year at the United Nations in New York where she was in charge of the Status of Women section. She died in Eastbourne, Sussex, on 18 October 1973.
