Captain Noel Chavasse VC & Bar MC
Aged 32
Royal Army Medical Corps
DOW 4th August 1917
4th On this day 104 years ago Noel Chavasse VC & Bar, MC was killed in action in Belgium.
Before the First World War Noel was a keen athlete and represented Great Britain in the 440 yards at the 1908 Olympics.
While serving in the Royal Army Medical Corps he was awarded the Victoria Cross (twice) and the Military Cross for retrieving and caring for wounded servicemen despite being wounded himself.
The Battle of Guillemont saw acts of heroism by Chavasse, the only man to be awarded the Victoria Cross twice during the First World War. In 1916, he was hit by shell splinters while rescuing men in no-man's land. It is said he got as close as 25 yards to the German line, where he found three men and continued throughout the night under a constant rain of sniper bullets and bombing. He performed similar heroics in the early stages of the offensive at Passchendaele in August 1917 to gain a second VC and become the most highly decorated British officer of the First World War. Although operated upon, he was to die of his wounds two days later in 1917.
Noel is buried in the Commonwealth War Graves Commission’s Brandhoek Military Cemetery.
