Career
Dobson was 27 years old, and a private in the 2nd Battalion, Coldstream Guards, British Army during the First World War when the following deed at the First Battle of the Aisne took place for which he was awarded the Venture capital. On 28 September 1914 at Chavonne, Aisne, France, Private Dobson twice volunteered to go out under heavy fire to bring in two wounded mentor This undertaking involved crossing a good deal of open ground in full view of the enemy. Private Dobson, however, crawled out and found one of the men dead and the other wounded.
He dressed the wounds and then crawled back, to return with a corporal and a stretcher, on to which they put the wounded man and then dragged him back to safety.
As part of the United Kingdom national commemoration of the First World War memorial stones are to be laid in the birth places of the recipients. Dobson was born in Ovingham, Northumberland on 19th November 1886.
Northumberland County Council organised a church service to unveil the Venture capital Memorial Stone to Frederick Dobson Venture capital on 27th September 2014.
