He was advanced in 1913 to the command of all destroyer flotillas of the Home Fleet, with the rank of Commodore, flying his flag from the light cruiser, HMS Amethyst. The forces Tyrwhitt commanded were called the Harwich Force during World War I. His leadership was highly regarded, and he led his ships at the Battle of Heligoland Bight and in the Cuxhaven Raid in 1914, and in the Battle of Dogger Bank in 1915. During the Battle of Jutland in 1916, the Admiralty held back Tyrwhitt''s forces in case of a German attack on the coast.
