William Boyle 12th Earl of Cork - World War One: The Red Sea
Chafing as an attache while the war waged, Boyle finally was released on November 11th, 1915 to the command of an old and slow second class cruiser in the Red Sea, HMS Fox. But, this proved to be an interesting backwater, as he was soon involved in supporting the Arab Revolt. In 1916, he was senior Naval Officer, Red Sea Patrol.
Boyle was a participant in the conference held aboard HMS Dufferin that set the time of the start of the Arab Revolt. He led the bombardment of Turkish held port of Jiddah in June, 1916, which, after a failed Arab attack, was continued for six days, leading to its surrender. This enabled artillery and other supplies to be sent to the Arabs. In July, it was the turn of the Turks at the port of Kunfuda, which surrendered after a brief bombardment. This meant the effective loss of control of southern Arabia by the Turks.
Most of the rest of his time in the Red Sea consisted of blockade of the coasts still held by the Turks, varied by attacks to capture remaining enemy held ports. The port of Salif was taken in July, 1917.
During this time he worked closely with T.E. Lawrence, (Lawrence of Arabia), although he didn't like him very much at first. He also worked with Sir Mark Sykes and his French counterpart, M. Picot of Sykes-Picot Agreement fame.
