Life & Career
His Service Record notes that he was the son of a "gentleman", but adds a question mark after this single descriptor.[1]

Ingham was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 15 July, 1918, having been altered from 15 July, 1914.[3]
Ingham was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Commander on 15 January, 1923.[4]
In February 1928 he was relieved of command of the gunboat Moorhen by Commander-in-Chief, China for being under the influence of liquor at an official dinner. He was deemed unsuitable to command a West River gunboat for reasons that reached beyond this offence.[5]
He was tried by Court Martial on 6 March, 1928, facing three charges: drunk on shore, negligent performance of duty, and acts prejudicial to good order and discipline at an officers' dinner ashore. The second charge was proven and he was dismissed from H.M.S. Tamar and reprimanded.[6]
