ROBERTS FREDERICK: (1872-1899) British Lieutenant, Victoria Cross winner for his actions during the Battle of Colenso in South Africa on 15th December 1899. Son of Earl Roberts, himself a Victoria Cross winner. A very fine, extremely rare vintage signed sepia 5.5 x 8 photograph, the image depicting the young army officer seated in a three-quarter length pose wearing his uniform. On a table at his side appears a small dog. Signed ('Fred Roberts') in fountain pen ink with his name alone to a clear area of the upper left corner of the image. Autographs of Roberts are extremely rare in any form as a result of his tragically early death at the age of 27 from the wounds he received during the Battle of Colenso, his Victoria Cross citation being confirmed posthumously on 2nd February 1900. Some light traces of former mounting to the verso, otherwise about EX
