Private, Indian Army
Frederick Whirlpool, VC was an English soldier and a recipient of the Victoria Cross (VC) during the Indian Mutiny. The Victoria Cross is the highest award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces. In his later life, Whirlpool migrated to Australia; as a result, he is sometimes claimed as an Australian VC recipient, although his name is not included in the official count.
