Major Francis John William Harvey, VC (29 April 1873 – 31 May 1916) was an officer of the British Royal Marine Light Infantry during the First World War. Harvey was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross, the highest military award for gallantry in the face of the enemy given to British and Commonwealth forces, for his actions at the height of the Battle of Jutland. A long-serving Royal Marine officer descended of a military family, during his career Harvey became a specialist in naval artillery, serving on many large warships as gunnery training officer and gun commander. Specially requested for HMS Lion, the flagship of the British battlecruiser fleet, Harvey fought at the battles of Heligoland Bight, Dogger Bank and Jutland.

  • Фрэнсис Джон Уильям Харви (англ. Francis John William Harvey; 29 апреля 1873, Сиденхем Кент — 31 мая 1916, линейный крейсер «Лайон», Северное море) — майор британской Королевской Морской пехоты, посмертно награждён крестом Виктории за действия во время Ютландского сражения. Во время сражения, Харви, находившийся на линейном крейсере «Лайон», будучи смертельно раненым, успел отдать приказ о срочном затоплении погребов главного калибра под башней «Q», чем предотвратил взрыв сотен тонн кордита. Взрыв погребов мог привести к полному уничтожению корабля и всех, кто находился на его борту. Харви умер от ран спустя несколько секунд после отдачи приказа. (ru)
  • 法蘭西斯·約翰·威廉·哈維(英語:Francis John William Harvey)少校,VC(1873年4月29日-1916年5月31日)是第一次世界大戰期間英國皇家海軍陸戰隊軍官,因在面對英國和英聯邦部隊敵人時的英勇表現和在日德蘭海戰間的事蹟,死後追授最高軍事勳獎——维多利亚十字勋章。哈維出生於軍人世家,其家族已在英國皇家海軍陸戰隊服役了一段時間。他在服役期間成為艦炮專家,並在數艘大型戰艦上擔任炮術訓練官和艦炮指揮官,後又特別申請在戰鬥巡洋艦艦隊的旗艦上服役,參與了、多格爾沙洲海戰和日德蘭海戰。 日德蘭海戰時,哈維所在的狮子号战列巡洋舰遭德舰击中,哈维自己也因砲火身受重傷,但他奋不顾身地下令注水淹沒獅子號戰艦Q砲塔的弹药庫,從而避免了儲存在該處、數以噸計的線狀無煙火藥爆炸,全舰官兵因此得以幸存。雖然他不久後就因傷死亡,但他臨死前的行為拯救了一千多條生命。时任英国海军大臣的溫斯頓·丘吉爾後來如此評論:「在漫長、崎嶇而輝煌的皇家海軍陸戰隊歷史中,沒有任何一个人、任何一次行动的品质和結果比這更为出众。」 (zh)
