context_page_description: Vice Admiral George Anson Primrose RN was a senior British naval officer.
context_section_description: He was born at 22 Moray Place in Edinburgh on 21 September 1849, the son of the Hon Bouverie Francis Primrose and his wife Frederica Sophia Anson, daughter of Thomas Anson, 1st Viscount Anson.
  He entered the Royal Navy in March 1863 aged 13; by September 1873 he had reached the rank of Lieutenant. In March 1887 he became Captain of HMS Pylades. In 1890, due to ill-health, he served on the training ship HMS Boscawen. In 1893 he returned to active service on HMS Apollo. This lasted only a few months before transferring to HMS Osborne in October 1893. In 1896 he took a two-year period of leave, probably at the request of his young wife, before again returning to service in December 1899 on HMS Trafalgar. In September 1902 he transferred again to HMS Royal Sovereign but stayed only a few months before permanently retiring due to ill-health.
  Whilst on the Retired List he was promoted to Rear Admiral in 1904 and Vice Admiral in 1908.
  He died at St Georges lodge in Surrey on 6 January 1930 due to an intestinal obstruction.
