Rear Admiral Sir Anthony Cecil Capel Miers, VC, KBE, CB, DSO & Bar (11 November 1906 – 30 June 1985), known as "Crap Miers" and "Gamp",[1] was a Royal Navy officer who served in the submarine service during the Second World War.
Miers was a recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces. He was allegedly responsible for two war crime incidents, while commanding HMS Torbay, including the shooting of seven Germans in a life raft.[2]
