Albert Edward Colenutt was born in Ventnor, Isle of Wight, on 10 March 1891, and entered the Royal Navy as a Stoker 2nd Class in April 1912.
Having been advanced to Stoker 1st Class in the interim, he was serving in H.M.S. Aboukir in the 7th Cruiser Squadron on the outbreak of war and was among those lost when she was torpedoed off the ‘Broad Fourteens’ in the North Sea on 22 September 1914, in company with her consorts Cressy and Hogue. The Aboukir was the first to be hit at 0620 hours and quickly capsized, sinking inside 10 minutes.
Owing to their being obsolete, poorly armed and armoured, the ships of the 7th Cruiser Squadron were nicknamed ‘The Live Bait Squadron’: it was a prescient accolade, for 62 officers and 1,397 men were killed on that fateful day in September 1914, one of the greatest disasters to befall the Royal Navy in the Great War.
Aged 24, Colenutt was the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Colenutt, of 37 Lowtherville Road, Ventnor, Isle of Wight. He is commemorated on the Portsmouth Naval Memorial.
