From around 1913 the recipient of these two documents elected to go by the name of Ralph Tindal. On the outbreak of the Great War he was appointed captain of the destroyer Electra, and in 1917 was made captain of the torpedo gunboat Circe. Thereafter he worked with paddle minesweepers, retiring with the rank of Commander in 1921. He was the father of RAF Group Captain Nicholas Tindal-Carill-Worsley (1911-2006), one of the planners of the celebrated Great Escape from Stalag Luft III.
