Major General Sir Neville Reginald Howse VC, KCB, KCMG (26 October 1863 19 September 1930) was a British-born Australian recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest decoration for gallantry "in the face of the enemy" that can be awarded to members of the British and Commonwealth armed forces. He was the first soldier in Australian services to be awarded the VC. He later served in the Australian Federal Government. Howse served in the Second Boer War with the Second Contingent of the New South Wales Army Medical Corps, Australian Forces, arriving at East London, Eastern Cape, in February 1900 as a lieutenant. On 24 July 1900, during the action at Vredefort, South Africa, Lieutenant Howse, saw a trumpeter fall and went through very heavy cross-fire to rescue the man. His horse was soon shot from under him and the captain continued on foot, reached the casualty and dressed his wound. Howse then carried him to safety.
