261: 36: 328:. The Victoria Cross is Britain and the Commonwealth's highest award for bravery. Captain Chavasse was a doctor who repeatedly saved wounded men whilst being wounded himself on more than one occasion, and under heavy fire, with total disregard for his own safety. Chavasse was one of only three people to have won the Victoria Cross twice, once on 9 August 1916 at 340:, where he died from wounds sustained in the operation he was decorated for, along with his batman Private Charles Rudd of St Helen. Also buried here is Army Chaplain, Reverend Frank Robert Harbord, CF4 who was in civilian life the Vicar of Dunchurch, Rugby since 1912 and had been a Chaplain in the Army during the Second Boer War. 646: 639: 734: 614: 291: 696: 701: 809: 739: 634: 837: 729: 816: 691: 661: 550: 721: 604: 276: 776: 676: 596: 771: 804: 751: 711: 581: 591: 791: 681: 656: 626: 716: 706: 666: 651: 621: 543: 842: 61: 536: 398: 314: 492: 35: 559: 513: 427: 210: 27: 781: 528: 260: 756: 671: 449: 761: 230: 686: 566: 284: 746: 402: 198: 586: 318: 133: 786: 241: 766: 493:"Chaplain 4th Class The Rev.
