História biográfica
Fraser entered the Navy in 1880. As a midshipman he served in the MONARCH and the AGINCOURT, Mediterranean Station, between 1882 and 1885 and then in the ACTIVE between 1885 and 1886 mostly in the East Indies. Having attended the Royal Naval College, Greenwich, he was promoted to lieutenant in 1888. In 1890 he was appointed to the KINGFISHER in the East Indies, after which he specialised in torpedo duties, serving at the torpedo school Vernon in 1894 and again between 1897 and 1900. He organized the illumination of the Fleet at the opening of the Kiel Canal in 1899, probably the first time this had been done by electricity. After promotion to commander in the same year, he joined the VINDICTIVE in the Mediterranean. During this period he became seriously ill and had eventually to be invalided, retiring as captain in 1907. During the First World War he served in the Torpedo and Mining Division of the Admiralty, specialising in defensive mining.

Papers of Gordon Colquhoun Fraser, including his midshipman's logs, some rough logs for his lieutenant's service and descriptions of his service in the East Indies. There is also a rough journal of part of his VINDICTIVE commission and several notebooks of the Greenwich and Vernon periods, some of which contain printed question papers of that time. Some notes on the illumination of the Fleet at Kiel, letters of 1918 and printed material relating to defensive mining, complete the collection.
