Lieutenant Woolley is the youngest son of Rev. G. H. Woolley, Danbury,
Essex. He was educated at St. John’s School and Queen’s College,
Oxford. While at the University he joined the Officers’ Training Corps.
He studied for Holy Orders, and is all but a curate, inasmuch as he
was on the eve of being ordained when, at the age of twenty-three, he
decided to give his first service to his country.
Lieutenant Woolley has been described as a typical specimen of muscular
Christianity. He excels at cricket, tennis, and football, and played
the greater game of war with all his heart and soul.
