Richard Algernon Phipps was born in Witney, Oxfordshire, in 1895 and was educated at Harrow. He attested for the 19th (2nd Public Schools) Battalion, Royal Fusiliers on 25 January 1915, and served with them during the Great War on the Western Front from 14 November 1915 to 23 March 1916. He was commissioned temporary Second Lieutenant in the Royal Flying Corps on 5 August 1916, but being found unfit for service as either a Pilot or an Observer was transferred to a commission in the Infantry, and was posted to the Gloucestershire Regiment on 24 March 1917. He was promoted Lieutenant on 5 February 1918, but did not serve overseas with either the Royal Flying Corps or the Gloucestershire Regiment, and consequently his medals are, unusually for a commissioned officer (and an Old Harrovian!), named up to him as a Private in the Royal Fusiliers. He relinquished his commission on 18 December 1920, retaining the rank of Lieutenant. He subsequently enlisted in the Royal Air Force for service during the Second World War.
