Ginger Boyle was every inch a sailor. A red headed firebrand, he was a short man with a short temper. He was fit and his appearance was distinguished by an ever present monocle. Formidable and a strict disciplinarian, he was well liked by the officers and men who served under him. The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography describes him in the summer of 1939 as "...exceedingly fit and full of energy and drive."

William Boyle 12th Earl of Cork - Character and appearance
Ginger Boyle was every inch a sailor. A red headed firebrand, he was a short man with a short temper. He was fit and his appearance was distinguished by an ever present monocle. Formidable and a strict disciplinarian, he was well liked by the officers and men who served under him. The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography describes him in the summer of 1939 as "...exceedingly fit and full of energy and drive."
Admiral Sir Reginald Tyrwhitt who was his Commander-in-chief in China in the 1920's described Boyle as "...simply splendid. I think he is absolutely first class." Among his other admirers were Roger Keyes and Winston Churchill.
Rather like Keyes and Tyrwhitt, Boyle was a fighting sailor, likely to shine most in wartime. His failure to achieve the highest position in the 1930's was likely because he was seen as too prickly to serve a peacetime government intent upon economy and appeasement of the European dictators.
