He enrolled Worcester College, Oxford 1907 and the college archie adds: 'Lieutenant Rothes Wilkinson matriculated in 1907 and graduated in 1911. He came from a family that had associations with Worcester College dating back to the eighteenth century, and was later joined at the College by his two younger brothers, Harry (died 1916) and Cyril (later a fellow of the College, and Dean from 1919 to 1958). Following his graduation Rothes Wilkinson obtained a commission in the 4th Battalion, Middlesex Regiment in 1911 and was promoted to Lieutenant in 1913. At the outbreak of war his battalion was quickly mobilised and they left Southampton for the French-Belgian border on 13 August 1914. They were involved in some of the first skirmishes of the war at Obourg, near Mons, and Rothes Wilkinson was killed in action on 23 August 1914.'
