Archibald George Forman CBE (1910-1967) was a British naval officer who became the first Chief of Naval Staff of the Ghana Navy.[1][2]
Forman was born in Brentford on 20 June 1910.[3][4] An acting sub-lieutenant in the Royal Navy aged 17, he became a sub-lieutenant in 1931, and lieutenant in 1933. He became Lieutenant Commander at the start of 1941, at this time he commanded HMS Airdale[5] and HMS Lookout (G32), was mentioned in dispatches in 1942, and became a Commander at the close of 1943, at this time he commanded HMS Garth (L20). In 1950 he was made Commodore. Retiring from active Navy service in July 1959,[6] he was seconded to the newly created Ghana Navy. Kwame Nkrumah, then the Ghana president, granted him a presidential commission as a Ghana naval officer with the rank of Commodore and appointed him Chief of Naval Staff.[7] This was after the navy had been established in 1959.[8]
After Nkrumah assumed the title of Supreme Commander in September, he replaced Commodore Forman with Lieutenant-Colonel Daniel Hansen.[9] As Captain A. G. Forman he received a CBE in 1962.[10][11]
