'He obtained a commission in the East Kent Yeomanry, and was sent out with his regiment to the Dardanelles, where he was wounded by a bomb accident, and died while on his way to Malta. The youngest of three Malvernian brothers, he was probably the best known of them all. His brother Cecil was killed in April of this year. A strong, sturdy character and a delightful companion, Noel Tuff was popular wherever he was. There was something so sound and manly about him which could not fail to attract those with whom he came in contact. He died on November 7th.' (Malvernian, Dec 1915).
