Lieutentant Frederick Brian Arthur Fargus
1st/9th Queen Victoria's Rifles
1st January 1915 Age 27
Born on 8-6-1887 in Strawberry Hill,Middlesex.He was baptised on 6-8-1887.
His parents were Henry Robert Fargus, a solicitor and Helen Mary(nee Skinner(married on 10-12-1878)) and in the 1901 census,he is recorded as living with them along with his 3 sisters and brother at 34,Waldegrove Road,Twickenham.
In the 1911 census,the family had moved to Milton House,Strawberry Hill,Middlesex.Aged 23 he was now employed as a solicitor.
In this year he was also gazetted 2nd Lieutentant in the Queen Victoria's Rifles,becoming Lieutentant in December 1912.
His dis-emabarkation into France was on 4-11-1914 and he was the battalions Machine Gun Officer.
On the 14-11-1914 he"had a narrow escape.A bullet from his revolverpassing through the upper of his boot and lodging in the sole.He was considered lucky to have got off so lightly,the actual result being merely a bad bruise." *
He was killed on 1-1-1915 and a witness to his death was Captain R Woodruff Cox who reported the following;" 'B' company's sector was situated in front of a semi-ruined farmhouse known as the Petite Douvre Farm,and the actual trench consisted of a high command parapet of very indifferent construction and in a bad state of repair and in only a few places raised to the height of a man's shoulder .One of our machine guns under lieutentant Fargus was placed near the centre.The trench at that time was in a very muddy state and most of the men were squatting on the fire-step or on wooden boxes,sheltering behing the parapet. I was seated on one of these boxes just behind the parapet near the Douvre river end of the trench.I noticed Brian Fargus inspecting the gun position and with his usual disregard for personal safety he exposed himself once or twice and a sniper hidden in the Petite Dourve Farm had one or two shots at him.When Fargus had finished his inspection he came along the trench in my direction,the sniper potting at him from time to time as his head showed over the parapet.On reaching me I warned him that he had been spotted and got him to sit beside me on the box and we discussed the situation generally.At the end of five minutes conversation,Fergus found his position somewhat cramped and shifted slightly.At that moment I raised myself so as to see over the parapet from behind some sandbags.Brian Fargus put his hand on my shoulder saying something about getting along and raised himself to practically a standing position.Almost a once a shot was heard from the direction of the farm and poor Fargus dropped dead behind me shot right through the centre of the forehead. He was buried at night close behind the trench he was in when he was hit ,at a place called 'the Willows' it being practically impossible in those days to carry the body to the rear owing to the awful condition of the track across the field." **
