F. F. Worthington

Major-General Frederic Franklin Worthington (1890 - 8 December, 1967), nicknamed "Worthy" and "Fighting Frank", is considered the father of the Royal Canadian Armoured Corps. Worthington served in the Canadian Machine Gun Corps in 1918. After the First World War, he was a proponent of adopting armoured fighting vehicles. As a captain, Worthington started the Canadian Armoured Fighting Vehicle School at Camp Borden in 1930, equipped with twelve Carden Loyd machine gun carriers. In 1936, then Major Worthington was assigned to organize the Canadian Tank School in London, Ontario, and moved it to Borden in 1938. Thanks to Worthington's determination, Canada acquired its first tanks in 1938: two Vickers light tanks, and ten more the following year.
