AI Source guide:

This obituary details the extensive naval career of Captain James Rawe (1925-2023), highlighting his service in both the Royal Navy and the Nigerian Navy. After participating in the Normandy Landings as a young officer, Rawe later became instrumental in the establishment and development of the Nigerian Naval Force, serving as its first British or Nigerian sign-up. His expertise as a hydrographer and his wartime experience in combined operations proved vital during the Nigerian Civil War, where he effectively commanded the naval base during a period of intense political instability and planned all of the crucial amphibious landings against Biafra. The text also notes the awards he received, including the O.B.E. and the French Legion d’honneur, and mentions a successful lawsuit he brought against an author who misrepresented his status as a serviceman.
