MACEY, Gerald C, Lieutenant, Royal Navy Macey was the 4th Officer on the RMSS Oruba when he joined the lodge. It appears that he became a Lieutenant in the RNR and in March 1916 suffered a mental breakdown. He died in hospital in April 1916. At the Lodge meeting in May, the WM said that He died heroically for his country having overtaxed his physical and mental powers and so succumbed. He is not listed in the CWGC. Source Roger Jenkins-Historian, Royal Gloucester.

The contribution records of the Lodge show that he "Died 28th April 1916".
