Frederic Brooks Dugdale

Frederic Brooks Dugdale VC (21 October 1877- 13 November 1902) was an English recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.

Details

He was 23 years old, and a Lieutenant in the 5th Lancers (Royal Irish), British Army during the South African War (Boer War) when the following deed took place for which he was awarded the VC.

On 3 March 1901 near Derby, South Africa, Lieutenant Dugdale was in command of a small outpost when, having been ordered to retire, his patrol came under heavy fire at a range of about 250 yards, and a sergeant, two men and a horse were hit. Lieutenant Dugdale dismounted and put one of the wounded men on his own horse. He then caught another horse, galloped up to another wounded man and took him up behind him, then brought both men safely out of action.

He was killed in a horse riding accident, near Charingworth, Gloucestershire, England, on 13 November 1902.

The medal

His Victoria Cross is displayed at The Queen's Royal Lancers Regimental Museum "(Belvoir Castle, Lincolnshire, England)".
