Historique
Admiral of the Fleet Sir George Rodney Mundy was a Royal Nacy officer. As a commander, he persuaded the Dutch to surrender Antwerp during the Belgian Revolution and then acted as a mediator during negotiations between the Dutch and the Belgians to end hostilities. As a captain, he was deployed to the East Indies Station and was asked to keep the Sultan of Brunei in line until the British Government made a final decision on whether to take the island of Labuan. He was then deployed to the seas of Finland where he secured Björkö Sound in operations against Russian during the Crimean War
