Naval career

Winsloe joined the Royal Navy.

On his return to the Cruiser squadron in late 1901, he was posted as Commodore, 2nd class, in command of the cruiser HMS St George.[4] In 1904 he became Commander of the Torpedo and Submarine Craft Flotillas.[1] He went on to become Fourth Sea Lord in 1907 and Commander-in-Chief, China Station in 1910.[1] He was appointed a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath in the 1909 Birthday Honours. He retired in 1913.[1]

He died in 1931.[5]
