The Wright-Ingle Exhibitions at Pembroke College, Cambridge, were founded in his memory.
'All who knew Cecil Wright-Ingle at School and those who have known him since will cherish his memory as that of a cheery companion and true friend. As a boy here he entered with great spirit into all that concerned the general life of the School, and in some departments of the School life he made his mark. From his early days here till the end of his life he had an intense love for the School. Letters which have recently been received by his parents bear testimony on the one hand to the excellent work which he did at the Pembroke College Mission after he left Cambridge, and to the real affection which was felt for him by the people amongst whom he worked; and on the other hand to his capacity as an officer. His Colonel writes: "I knew your son very well, he was a fine officer. I made him an officer in the battalion and I always felt proud of my judgment. I never knew anyone who was more conscientious and keen in the performance of his duties. He was always a great example to us." He enlisted in the 2nd Public Schools Battalion when first formed, and after several months serving in the ranks was given a commission in his own battalion. He was killed on April 30th, aged 32.' (Malvernian, Jun 1916).
