Cochrane was born on 20 June 1874 and was the eldest son of Vice Admiral Basil E. Cochrane.[1] His family had a tradition of naval service and among them was the similarly named Archibald Cochrane (1783–1829).[2]
Following the war, Cochrane stayed in the navy, completing 41 years of service before retiring in 1929. He was promoted to rear-admiral in his final year of service, during which he also acted as ADC to George V. He had married Maye, only daughter of Colonel A. de V. Brooke, in 1904 and the couple had four daughters. He died at his home in Windlesham on 15 July 1952.[2]
