F. F. Worthington
MajorGeneral Frederic Franklin Worthington, MC, MM, CD , nicknamed Worthy and Fighting Frank, was a senior Canadian Army officer. He is considered the father of the Royal Canadian Armoured Corps.
Worthington was born in Peterhead, Scotland. His military career began, somewhat unofficially, as a mercenary. He served in the Nicaraguan Army in the war against San Salvador and Honduras, but when the Nicaraguan Republican government fell, the army dissolved and Worthy left the country to avoid capture. He later found work sailing on cargo steamers.
