Obituary –Sir Reginald March Kesterton Turnbull

Sir Reginald M.K. Turnbull, adviser on foreign shipping to the Ministry of War Transport, died at his home at Rowley Green, Barnet, yesterday, at the age of 64. The son of Reginald March Turnbull, he was born on November 23, 1878, and educated at Highgate. He was, like his father and grandfather, a ship owner, and served as chairman of the Tramp Shipping Administrative Committee in 1938 and as vice-chairman for the three previous years.

He was a well-known figure on the Baltic Shipping Exchange, and for a long period was chairman of the classification of the Lloyds Register of Shipping. At the outbreak of the war he was appointed director of the ship management division of the Ministry of Shipping (later Ministry of War Transport), which position he relinquished on assuming the duties of foreign shipping adviser. He was knighted in 1941. In 1902, he married Addy Gertrude Clarkson, and they had one son, Reginald March Turnbull.
