Bruce Digby-Worsley
Second Lieutenant Bruce Digby-Worsley was a World War I British flying ace credited with 16 aerial victories between June and September 1918.
== Background ==
Ernest Bruce Digby-Worsley was born on 6 February 1899 in Gloucester, England and died in 1980 in Hastings, England. At the time of his enlistment in 1914, he was a 15-year-old schoolboy living in the parental home at 25 Arthur Street in Gloucester. He falsified his age (and place of birth) to enlist in the local Territorial Force battalion, claiming that he was 19 years of age.〔Birth certificate and miscellaneous documents, Worsley family papers.〕 In 1916, Digby-Worsley was evacuated from France to the Red Cross Hospital in Gloucester with a severe case of trench foot, after serving in Flanders for only two months. Digby-Worsley's mother then attempted to have him excused from further duty at the front on grounds of age. By this time, however, Digby-Worsley had already been appointed as a drill instructor, and the Middlesex Regiment clearly felt that his services were needed to train recruits at home, which he did until his transfer to the King's Own Scottish Borderers.〔Miscellaneous records and correspondence, Worsley family papers.〕
After the war, Digby-Worsley lived at Hargate Forest on Broadwater Down in Tunbridge Wells, Kent.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=ancestry.com )〕 He pursued a successful career in theatrical management, becoming manager of the Sadler's Wells Theatre and the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company.〔GB 1032 S/SWT/2, Sadler's Wells Theatre Archive; "D'Oyly Carte Boss A Real Who's Who," ''Oakland Tribune'', 13 August 1955.〕
