Two years later he was promoted to commander and became a captain in 1910. After service in China, Fuller took command of the CUMBERLAND, 1914, and in the latter part of that year was Senior Naval Officer in the campaign against the German territories in Togoland and the Cameroons. He continued on this service in the CHALLENGER and the ASTREA and saw the successful termination of the operation in 1915. Fuller subsequently had a distinguished career, becoming Director of the Plans Division of the Naval Staff, 1917, Head of the British Naval Section at the Peace Conference in Paris, 1919 to 1920, and Second Sea Lord in 1932.
