The
war memorial can be found in the cemetery of St Mary's church which is detached
from the actual church about 100 yards down the road on the left heading towards
the Bedford bypass from the village. The CWGC graves in the cemetery do not relate
to any one on the memorial and appear to be from RAF Cardington.

DUBERLEY |
Vernon Conrad |
Captain 17th Indian Cavalry who died on Sunday,
6th February 1916. Age 30. Son of Lt. Col. and Mrs. Arthur Duberly,
of Fenlake Barns, Bedford. Commemorated on NAIROBI BRITISH AND INDIAN
MEMORIAL, Kenya.
 From
Andy Pay's research into the Marquis de Ruvigny's Roll of Honour
the following:
Volume 2 part 3 page 83, Captain Vernon Conrad
DUBERLY, 17th Cavalry, Indian Army, killed in action 6-2-16 in East
Africa. Second son of Arthur Grey Duberly, Lt-Col (retired) late
Bedfordshire Regiment. Born Fenlake 22-6-1885, educated at Hinnick
House , Bedford Grammar school and Royal Military Academy, Woolwich.
Obtained commission in august 1904 in Royal Field Artillery, served
in Ireland, South Africa and India. Transferred to 17th Cavalry,
Indian Army in 1910. promoted Captain august 1913, ordered to Africa
and killed in action 6-2-16 while commanding a patrol to Nagarsene.
General Sir Michael Tighe wrote "The patrol
fought desperately and all testify to the splendid behaviour of
your son. He was a great loss to the 17th" and his colonel
"having commanded the regiment all the time he was in it, I
can only tell you that he had been of great assistance to me at
many times while he was doing the work of quartermaster, and i looked
on him as one of the most promising officers in the regiment.
Indeed , as perhaps he told you at the time, i
had put him on the selected list for the staff college, which will
show you the opinion i had of him and his ability. It is also perhaps
a little consolation to feel that his death was one he would have
chosen,if he had been asked, giving his life in fighting bravely
with only a small party, in order to save the rest of the patrol,
giving them the time to withdraw from what would have been annihilation,
so that almost the only casualties among the patrol of 50 men were
himself, Lieutenant Mowdsley and that little party of nine men,
every one of who was killed wounded or taken prisoner. I am sure
you could have wished for no finer end for him than this". |
