[Illustration: =William Oxenham Cautley.=] =CAVELL, FRANK CORNELIUS=, A.B. (R.F.R., B. 3860), 180672, H.M.S. Hawke; lost when that ship was torpedoed in the North Sea, 15 Oct. 1914; _m._ =CAVENDISH, GODFREY LIONEL JOHN=, Capt., 97th Deccan Infantry, attd. 9th Bhopals, Indian Army, eldest surviving _s._ of Reginald Richard Frederick Cavendish, of Willand, Devon [gdson. of General the Hon. Henry Frederick Compton Cavendish, Col. 2nd Dragoon Guards, 3rd _s._ of Lord George Augustus Henry Cavendish, 1st Earl of Burlington and nephew of William, 5th Duke of Devonshire, K.G.], by his wife, Mary Constance, dau. of the late Rev. Harry Dupuis, Vicar of Richmond, Surrey; _b._ Eastbourne, 30 March, 1884; educ. Framlingham and Sandhurst, and was gazetted to the Manchester Regt., then stationed at Singapore, 22 April, 1903. Two years later he received his Lieutenancy (5 Aug. 1905), and was transferred to the Indian Army, 97th Deccan Infantry, and became Capt. 22 April, 1912. At the outbreak of war he was recalled from leave to rejoin his regt., which was remaining in India, but so keen was he to serve in the great war, that at his special request he was attached to the Reserve of Officers and sent to France in Nov. 1914. He was temporarily attached to the 1/9th Gurkha Rifles until 15 Dec., when he was transferred to the 9th Bhopal Infantry. He had only joined the latter regt. five days when he received the wounds from which he died two days later in a field hospital at Lillers, and was buried in the Lillers Cemetery on 23 Dec. 1914. A brother officer wrote: "On 17 Dec. the half battn. he was commanding was ordered up to the support trenches at Givenchy. We remained in support until the morning of 20 Dec., when Capt. Cavendish received orders to take us up to support the regt. ahead of us, which was being attacked. On the way up he received orders to halt, and Capt. Cavendish went forward a few yards to find out what was wanted when he was hit by a rifle bullet in the neck. We tied up his wound, and were all relieved to think, as he did, that the wound was slight. He walked back two miles to the hospital apparently quite cheery and not in much pain. It was a great blow to us to hear a few days later that he had died of his wounds in the hospital on 22 Dec. During the few days we were under fire together he was always cheery, and helped us when we were 'down in our luck.'... He pulled together both officers and men under him by his cheery stories and sense of humour." A writer in the "East Anglian Daily News" (6 Jan. 1915), said: "He left Framlingham at the end of the summer term, 1901. He was one of those fellows who pass through a public school without attaining any particular distinction in either work or games but at the same time gain a certain position and influence by virtue of outstanding personality, and I remember that, though he had not a very large number of intimate friends, anything he said or did was of interest to quite a large circle. He was a kinsman of the Duke of Devonshire, and also connected with the earldom of Clare, and it was often remarked among his contemporaries that he possessed a remarkable family likeness, both in facial appearance and in character, to what may almost be called the Cavendish tradition of which the late Duke was so conspicuous an example." Capt. Cavendish _m._ at Long Melford, Suffolk, 22 March, 1911, Cora Grace Graham, yst. dau. of Joseph Alphonsus Horsford, of Long Melford, co. Suffolk, M.R.C.S., and had two sons: Godfrey Herbert Richard, _b._ 14 Jan. 1912; and Hubert Gordon Compton, _b._ 26 Feb. 1913. [Illustration: =Godfrey L. J.
