Framed Print of Brevet-Major W. J. Vousden, V.C. 1881. Creator: Unknown
Brevet-Major W. J. Vousden, V.C. 1881. Engraving from a photograph by Messrs. Baker and Burke, of the Punjaub. It was mentioned by us, on the 22nd October, that the Queen has been graciously pleased to confer the Victoria Cross upon Captain (now Brevet-Major) William John Vousden, Bengal Staff Corps. This is for the exceptional gallantry displayed by him on Dec. 14, 1879, on the Koh Asmai Heights, near Cabul, in charging, with a small party, into the centre of the line of the retreating Kohistani force, by whom they were greatly outnumbered, and who did their utmost to close round them. After rapidly charging through and through the enemy, backwards and forwards, several times, they swept off round the opposite side of the village and joined the rest of the troop. Brevet-Major Vousden, of the 5th Punjaub Cavalry, whose portrait we now give, is thirty-six years of age. He is only son of the late Captain Vousden, of the 21st (North British) Fusiliers. He was educated at Dr. Hill's establishment at Sandwich, and at the Grammar School, Canterbury. He was gazetted Ensign in the 35th Regiment in January, 1861, and was shortly afterwards transferred to the Bengal Staff Corps, to which he is still attached'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
