Fanshawe was born in Falmouth to Captain (later Admiral of the Fleet Sir) Arthur Dalrymple Fanshawe (1847–1936) by his wife Sarah Frances Fox. He came from a family with a long tradition of naval service, his grandfather Sir Edward Gennys Fanshawe had also been an Admiral.
He passed out of Britannia Naval College in December, 1897 sixty-first out of the sixty-four cadets who passed out, with 1178 marks.[2] After joining the Royal Navy, he was promoted to acting sub-lieutenant on 15 November 1901 and subsequently confirmed in that rank from the same date.[3] In November 1902 he was ordered for a posting with the destroyer HMS Syren, but this was cancelled and the following month he was re-assigned to the torpedo gunboat HMS Alarm.[4]
