Admiral Mark Edward Frederic Kerr CB, CVO, (26 September 1864 – 10 January 1944) joined the Royal Navy in 1877 as a naval cadet in HMS Britannia and HMS Hindustan and by1898 reached the rank of commander. Early in WWI he served as Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Hellenic Navy and, perhaps somewhat controversially kept Greece out of the war.
