Belonged to the old Yorkshire family of Worsley, of Hovingham. Served
through the Par. War, and in 1848 received the silver medal with nine
clasps. “He was wounded, at the siege of Badajoz, under one of his
ears. The ball made the circuit of his neck, and was taken out on the
opposite side. He was again wounded at Waterloo under the other ear,
the ball, as before, making the circuit of the neck.” Kincaid relates
that the wound Worsley received at Badajoz had the effect of turning
his head to the right, and that the wound he received at Waterloo
restored his head to its original position. Placed on h. p. 11th Feb.,
