Any information on C.R.Rowden (RFC)

Today, I could buy a camara that belonged to a capt. C.R.Rowden RFC.
Was there a C.R,Rowden that served in the RFC around 1913 upwards (the camera is from 1913)?

And now, after almost 90 years, his camera has emerged in Holland! Asking for more and more, are there any known pics of him?

Thanks for the information. Including some pics of the set. Now that the story behind it is more clear, I am considering buying the camera.
